Portuguese sweets, pre B-day hype, and "work"

Today was again a busy day for postal office and me.
Firstly, I again got a Signed Letter from Dealextreme - meaning I had to fetch it from the Post Office again.
It was the other acekard 2i - not for me this time, but for little brother of friend (I am in good terms with the family as whole) - I had project of repairing the DS in secret, and also "getting hands on" to those "magic things" and managing stuff on it, and giving it back as surprise. I get a (small) payment for this. I also got extra touch screens and microSD reader... and few styluses (since it was the Mother who paid for the stuff too).
Have I said that I love how cheap stuff is on DealExtreme? How about how cheap the number is when converted to euros? No? Then now I have - and i LURVE it.

Also; The "non springloader" Acekard I had was not not springloaded (so... It WAS springloaded) - I discovered this because the other acekard that arrived had the spring unlocked - I happened to just pull the memory card out like normal (taking the acekard partly out of DS) and then I went "waait a minute!" - Then I proceeded to test same thing on my own acekard and - Thus I have a springloaded cart afterall!

I used a good while managing roms and such on the 2gig memory card for the little brother, but in end got the whole job done, tomorrow I am making little boy happy (and now I sound dirty, YES!)


Also, a quite large packet arrived in mail straight to box - It was from my older sister in Portugal.
It included gift for my birthday, A nice shirt and some sweets from Portugal. NONE of these can be found in Finland at least, and they at least looked cool, so I am sharing them as for bit.


First, some "professional" (as it seems from looks) chewing gum, labeled "Trident"
Melon flavored.

The package was really cool, as I said, really professional:

Heck, and this is only GUM! I want my flashcarts in packs like these!

As for the gum itself, they are good sized biting bits - and taste really good, and in positive way different from most flavored gum available in here father Finland. I would say that the quality of gum does match the packaging, because it keeps it's flavor for really long time and is good to bite, not too hard, soft enough, etc.

Second to go with "hussel" Chocolate bar...

This was really interesting, nicely packed as you can see.
It was a mix of white and darkER (not DARK, it was more sweet than bitter still) chocolate. It tastes really good, but only if they are mixed, and the darker top part goes off from the white easily. The size of pieces is bit small, but it tastes good. I'd not to say it is hugely better than normal chocolate, but it IS different, in positive way again.

Last one is "Edelbitter" Dark chocolate in bar, mixed with chili

Yeah, now THIS IS effin different... well ok, A Finnish factory makes same kind, only with sweeter milk chocolate, and there is not THAT much chili.
THIS is DARK chocolate (with capitals, I mean, it TASTES dark - If you give it to friend and ask what it tastes like, he will not answer "chicken" he says "fucking DARK")

Also, after that, the chili kicks in, it is slow after eating the one piece, but slowly builds up into burning sensation on your tongue. It is not that bad and kinda nice for those who like chili. (I do like chili to some extent)

So, definitely DIFFERENT sweets over from Portugal.

Also, my friend is staying over this weekend.

So, that is all for this exciting Friday!

oh, and DSi XL was supposedly Released today, but as we know, not widely everywhere yet, I checked one store I plan to buy from possibly, and there was nothing (still just normal DSi's, no XL...) So, that is to follow.

To the next time, signing out!

Ooooooo...chocolate.

I'm not a big fan of the Trident "soft" gum, although. I find the flavours weird and the texture unappealing. (I have to have that crunchy layer to gum, although.) It does look rather professional, no? Like they are selling something other than gum. (Weird marketing is weird.)

Nice photo - I was playing ds at uni today, and someone from the school newspaper ended up taking a photo of me. *sigh*
