My M03 Setup

Franziskaner Weissbier and Eurodeli @ Damansara Kim

Tried this German beer which was on tap at the Eurodeli in Damansara Kim. Our usual pub was unfortunately close today so no Guinness and thus, we resorted to restaurant-cum-bar place.

I had the dark Franziskaner cos the white beer is unavailable. Surprisingly, it is very light and smooth. Too light in fact that it could be slightly diluted. I could be wrong. Flavor is ok with the usual dark beer characteristic of bitter sweet after taste. Will try it again but next beer I want to try is the Konig Ludwig...



The restaurant also serves German style food which I would like to try one day. This pic is found on the piece of paper on the table.

Adidas San Marino 2 Trainers Review

I bought these Adidas together with the Leader trainers since the shop was on sale and special prize for these older shoes.

The moment I tried those San Marino 2 on, I'd knew I want them! These are darn comfy shoes with excellent cushioning. After having to bear the obnoxious squeks made by the Leader, I felt like I am on stealth mode with these shoes! They are very quiet and light.



The leather outershell is soft and the tongue is padded very well. Arch and Archilles' heel supports are good.

Absolutely no complaints on these sneakers and well worth the price. Highly recommended but I doubt any more left in the market.

Adidas Leader Trainers Review

I am in the market for new pair of sneakers as my current Puma is getting worn out. I was lucky to get a great deal on a pair of Adidas Leader trainers in white and green colors scheme.

Since its just a regular casual sneakers, the sole is quite thin and does not provide much cushioning. The outershell leather is kinda hard so its not very comfortable. What annoys me the most is the squeaky sound it makes whenever I am walking! The leather on the tongue rubs against under the shoe lace area which cause the annoy and loud squeks!




Overall, I dont expect much since I its just a casual sneakers and the good deal I had when I bought them. Its looks great for casual but I still cant get over the irritating squeaks!
