I figured it would be extremely handy for weighing luggage so as not to exceed the allowance.<\/p>\n<p>I bought a second one from the same vendor for a friend, that arrived ok. Also my father-in-law saw mine and liked it, so I gave it to him and ordered another one, on 20 Oct. However, this third unit never showed up. Since it was kind of cheap (RM20-ish including shipping) I put it down to bad luck and wrote it off.<\/p>\n<p>Today &#8230; surprise surprise, it was delivered, a good two months since i ordered it. Looking at the custom stamp on it, I suspect it was sitting in the customs office here and got &#8220;lost&#8221; somehow.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this one is a slightly different model, with a metal ring at the top instead of a strap. It also has a blue backlight which serves more to gobble up battery power. It has a &#8220;soft&#8221; power switch, which means there&#8217;s probably some current drain, and the battery won&#8217;t last forever in storage. But it feels more &#8220;solid&#8221; than the previous unit.<\/p>\n<p>If you want one, you can place your order from <a href=\"\u00ef\u00bb\u00bfhttp:\/\/shop.ebay.com\/mingming-store2009\/m.html\">mingming-store2009<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shahada.abubakar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/39-1.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shahada.abubakar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/39-2.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shahada.abubakar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/39-3.jpg\"><\/div>\n<p><i>This post was originally published as a Facebook Note at 2010-12-16 21:19:11 +0800.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Months ago, I bought a portable electronic scale of eBay.
