my Android 📱's performance suddenly did this... (and eventually...)

After that one occurrence where my 6 year old Android 📱 suddenly got it's own original 🔋 just inflated by itself in the last year which I was able to troubleshoot it, but then in this year, it's own performance suddenly went totally dropped where my 📱's entire old Android 9 (🥧) operating system just lagged horribly. Seriously, it's own entire operating system literally did so because I was once opened one of the random apps which I rarely used it for a while, but then it suddenly led into the aforementioned problem itself which I couldn't even get rid of it by myself... Well then, it's time to find the actual truth about how come if it suddenly occurred initially like so, until how I was able to troubleshoot the problem itself later on.

As what I clearly mentioned just earlier, I was once opened one of the random apps that I rarely used it for a while (for this case, it was one of those random floating browser apps that I was officially installed on it from the Play Store). The reason about how come if I decided to open the aforementioned app itself, it's purely because I was so bored, simple as that... However, right when I demonstrated the app's key feature of it, instead of working properly as what it should be, it just caused my entire 📱 just lagged absurdly by all of the sudden. This particular sudden total lag problem literally existed, even if I already uninstalled the aforementioned app that probably caused this to occur initially. It also made the matters worse, no matter if I kept restarting it numerous times, deleting unnecessary files on it's own internal storage, installing some antivirus and cleaner apps on it, or tweaking some stuffs on it's own settings (precisely on it's own developer options section), this particular problem always returned by itself after roughly several minutes depending on which apps or mobile games that I opened (ranging from those of the light ones, until all the way to those of the heavy ones), or on the worst cases, it occurred by itself during it was on standby. During this occurred, it literally struggled severely to open almost any apps or any mobile games that I tried to open them specifically on it (which either they went unresponsive or they just crashed instead), and so for it's own System UI itself. It also caused my 📱's back part of it went overheated as well, but it was mildly less compared to those times when it used to equip with it's own original 🔋 that got suddenly inflated in the last year though.

Even if this lag problem existed, but I just found out about how come if my 📱 suddenly did this by all of the sudden. It turned out if certain system background apps literally bloated almost my entire 📱's RAM for severely odd reasons, which I was able to check it from one of the options of it's own developer options despite it's unresponsive state that it had, specifically right during I tried to access the aforementioned section itself... However, I was able to fully troubleshoot it by bringing it into the same service center where I used to replace it's own original 🔋 with the better one in the last year, by simply resetting it's own entire Android operating system itself back to it's factory settings for relatively cheap price (which was exactly IDR 50.000 for doing so). Though I obviously lost all of my own data and all of those progresses that I saved on it's own internal storage, but I was able to restore whatever else that I used to do those stuffs that I usually do on it, but not all of them though (unless everything on it is all set already as of today). Well, that simply concluded about how the problem itself that was initially occurred from (supposed to be) that one random app, until all the way to how I was able to fix it by resetting the entire 📱's operating system itself back to it's factory settings. 

As of today, it now works fairly 🆗 as if it was brand 🆕 from 6 years ago. Unfortunately though, according to the repairman who repaired this in his own service center, the entire old Android 9 operating system itself that is installed specifically on this 📱 will definitely obsolete roughly in the next year (or two). Because of this particular statement that he specifically said so to me, I don't think if I will decide to get a brand 🆕 Android 📱 with newer Android operating system(s) once this 📱 no longer support it's own old Android operating system soon (unless if he would able to install custom Android operating system on it [such as something like Lineage OS, CMIIW], but I highly doubt it)............ Only the time will tell about the actual truth particularly about this once it will happens soon.

My mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection...

It's been a while since I made bunch of my YouTube fan videos of themselves, so it's time for explaining about those of my mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection. However, all of them had their own stories per each of those, which I ended up got rid each of them for good (except for one of them which it simply lost). Without further ado, let me list all of those aforementioned mini ceiling fans that I'm referring to, right away.

1. Another Elitesat FC-08-50 500mm

First off, you may recognize this exact blue Elitesat mini ceiling fan which I featured bunch of times on my YouTube channel already, but I actually used to have another identical Elitesat mini ceiling fan, and that one was my very first mini ceiling fan that I ever purchased in my life back in 2008, followed by this one. It worked similarly as this one, except it was slightly less wobbly compared to this one too... It initially used to mount in the living room of that house (and so for this one), but then I decided to move it in two different bedrooms of that house (and so for this one too). However, during the mini renovation of my childhood house where I used to born in there, I accidently forgot about where I temporarily saved both of these while both of them were dismantled from the ceiling (including this one), therefore I lost that one, which means this one was the only one that remained until one of it's own original blades broke off and lost. I had no clue about how come if I accidently lost that particular one, but I also feel sad for not keeping that with me.

2. Extend 700mm

After I purchased both of those Elitesat mini ceiling fans, I also purchased this one. It was also my very first mini ceiling fan that was larger than 500mm, although the color of it was roughly the same (albeit it was brighter). It worked perfectly fine, and it generated averagely the same amount of air delivery as both of those Elitesats were, except it was slightly less. Everything about it was okay until I decided to mount it in the kitchen of my childhood house, right after I used to mount it in the living room of that house first... Due to the intense heat of the kitchen itself, it caused all of it's own blades broke off so easily by itself. So that was basically it, I wasn't even able to glue it's own brittle blades probably due to they simply lost right when they broke per each of them while it was operating, which I also ended up trashing it later on.

3. Meet 500mm

Well, after roughly 5 years since I purchased both of those Elitesats and Extend, I finally purchased my very first mini ceiling fan that wasn't in blue color, which was this one. It did generate fairly good amount of air thanks to slightly steeper blade pitch that it had compared to those of my aforementioned blue mini ceiling fans that I purchased a while before, except for that one hiccupping problem while it was hanging in the living room of that house. This problem literally lasted until one of it's own blades broke off by itself. Due to the weird state of it, there was no way to fix it which I ended up trashing it later on, except for one of it's own blades which I used it on that remaining Elitesat there in those times.

4. Sivicom FC-08-50 (SV-500) 500mm

Not too long after I purchased that Meet, I also purchased this one simply because of how different it looked compared to the average mini ceiling fans that were available on sale in those times. Although this one was cheaper than that Meet, it worked perfectly fine without hiccupping problems, and it generated reasonably good amount of air with it's own original white blades (it's because this was the old version of it, meanwhile for the newer versions have turquoise blades)... During those times in my childhood house, it initially used to mount in the living room of that house. However, after I moved out from that house, it eventually moved into one of the bedrooms (which used to be my bedroom of that house), until I decided to pluck it with me and mount it in the kitchen of my previous house, and then one of the family's relative's replaced it with the Oshaky in that exact room of my childhood house.

During those times in my previous house, it managed to last for approximately 6 years before it stopped working suddenly by itself. Well, after it stopped working specifically like so, I let my dad to take it down, but for some reason he decided to do so by passing it's own motor to the top part of the wood travers of the asbestos roof above that house's back porch, which caused the it's own motor housing got dented severely. Although I was able to salvage it's own original blades, but I was once used it as a horizontal windmill by removing some parts of it's own synchronous motor, except I used Jiamei blades on it. It was all that fun until a random squirrel that came from nowhere accidently dropped it while it was hanging, which caused all of the Jiamei blades that I equipped on it got destroyed to bunch of small mosaic pieces, right when it got impacted to the concrete. Due to the state of it after that exact accident, I ended up trashing the motor itself later on.

5. Bright-G FC-08-50 (BG-500) 500mm

Some of you may recognize this exact Bright-G mini ceiling fan that I purchased specifically back in 2015, which I mounted it in the back porch of my previous house along with my other mini ceiling fans that I used to mount in there. Judging by the classic style of it, it was a new old stock fan according to one of the online fellow fan enthusiasts... As for the fan itself, it worked perfectly fine and generated fairly good amount of air. However, instead of keeping it with me like the rest of my mini ceiling fans that I'm currently own, I decided to give it away for free to my vocational high school in order to install it in the canteen of that school (don't ask me about how come if I did so). However, some of the senior students didn't able to connect it's own cable properly, which they ended up trashing it instead in that location, including about how come if they also destroyed those blades too. 🤦‍♂️

6. Bright-G FD-10-70E 700mm

Believe or not, this one was purchased initially by my dad in order to mount this in his main workplace first until it's own original blades broke off (which for that case, in order to replace one of the Jiamei mini clip fans in there)... After all of it's own blades broke off, he was able to find another nearly identical blade set that perfectly fit of it by simply glued all of them on it. Then, he asked me in order to bring it home from his personal workplace, and I decided to mount it in the kitchen of my previous house in 2021. It worked just alright, except it used to have all of that squeaking and grinding noises while it's operating until I was able to fix it by oiling it's own synchronous motor. Everything about it was okay until the time where I moved out from there in 2023, I had to take it down even with it's own daily beater condition that it particularly had (because my mom always turned it on while she used to cook in there). After I moved out from there, I was once attempted to remove it's own brittle blades out from it (and so for cleaning it), but I ended up breaking them instead due to the difficulty of me tried to do so with all of it's own blades that he glued into it. Due to the horrible state that it specifically had, unfortunately I decided to trash it away.

Before I wrap up this article, here are two random fans that were once existed but then I got rid of each of them later on, except I didn't purchase both of these in the first place (though one of them wasn't even from my collection anyway). So, both of those fans were:

  • Unknown black-red oldie 500mm : This one was originally purchased by my cousin back in ~2005 (if I guessed that right), and it used to mount in one of the bedrooms of my childhood house before he and his parents moved into his current house (including this fan by installing it on his bedroom). It lasted for approximately 7 years before it broke off and replaced by that 500mm Shukaku SKU MF-50, however I was once able to pluck it from his current house and use it as a display of my mini ceiling fan collection in my previous house, even if all of it's own red blades were lost already. Due to the fact it was broken since then, I just got rid of it right when I moved out from my previous house.
  • Jiamei JM-590 700mm : This one was originally purchased by one of my family's relative's from my mom's side in early of 2016 in order to mount it inside my grandma's bedroom of my childhood house. After she was deceased in 2017, my dad eventually used this fan in his main workplace, in order to replace his HTC industrial ceiling fan with it a year later. It lasted for few years before it stopped working by itself. I was able to salvage it's own blades, but unfortunately he decided to trash the motor itself later on.

Well then, there you have it for those mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection, but then I had to get rid each of them for good due to each of the reasons that I already mentioned above (except for one of them, which it was simply lost). If you have your own good old memories regarding to this particular topic, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if your memory serves it right. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this exact article.

imagine if i would keep my very first 💻...❔

This is rather short article that I made here, but imagine if I'd actually doing so instead of owning my current one that I'm using it nowadays? Well, if you may recognize this in few of my older articles that I made from a while ago, you might recognize that old Acer Aspire 4741Z laptop that I used to own since somewhere in 2009 until roughly 4 years later. That laptop had some error where it always went to BSOD all the time, yet the BSOD itself lasted about few seconds until it automatically restarted again by itself until I forced to turn it off. Although I used to bring it multiple times in the large electronic store where I purchased this back in the day, but in the meantime where I encountered that exact error itself, instead of fixing it due to the condition of the aforementioned laptop itself was okay, I stupidly exchanged it with the 2013 Samsung (which I realized if the Samsung had somewhat lower build quality compared to that aforementioned Acer or other brands [including the one that I'm using right now, which is the Lenovo], TBH).💻

(this screenshot has nothing to do with the 💻 that I'm talking about)

Even though I still recognized that exact time where I exchanged it with that crappy Samsung, but imagine if I would keeping it instead of that particular option that I actually did it back then? Well, the answer of it would be obvious, by upgrading some crucial components inside, specifically for storage, RAM, and processor... First off, for the storage itself, that laptop originally had 320 GB of HDD (if I guessed that right). I'd upgrade it with (at least) 128 GB of SATA SSD for the operating system storage, and I'd also reuse it's own original HDD that came with it by replacing the obsolete DVD-RW drive using the HDD itself by installing the aforementioned hard drive itself on a caddy... Then, for the RAM that came with it, it originally had a single 1 GB of DDR3 RAM stick (if I guessed that right too), I'd upgrade it by purchasing pair of brand new 4 GB of DDR3 RAM sticks... Lastly, for the processor itself, it originally had Intel Pentium P6000 (❔). I had no clue about the replacement processor that would work with the entire laptop itself though... As for the random miscellaneous components like the LCD screen, battery, and CMOS battery, I also had no clue if either one of them would be replaced since last time I used it back in those days, they were all in fairly good condition per each of them (though the original battery itself didn't last for at least an hour though, from what I remembered back in those days).💻

Well then, there you have it for my short story that literally explained about it in general. Even though that laptop may seem obsolete on it's own, but that laptop would also have it's own potential if I would keeping it with all of those upgraded components equipped, unless if my budget would enough for doing so, otherwise that would cost averagely similar to the one that I'm using nowadays... If you have your own thoughts regarding to this exact topic, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if your memory serves it right (if you used to have at least one of them in your own). That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this short article.💻

Marching/drum band stuffs...❔ 🥁🎺 (ID)

Believe or not, I was an ex-marching band player. Although it only lasted only on 3 schools where I used to study in each of them which had their own marching or drum bands, such as my 2 separate kindergartens, and my old primary school. However, I'm not gonna tell you about how come if I decided to stop doing so during I was in my primary school by all of the sudden, it's because that would be my "top secret" to totally expose the truth about why... Speaking about the marching/drum band in general though, I also had lot of experience of watching marching/drum band displays or parades performed by various schools (or certain institutes, albeit it is insanely rare to invite at least one of those particularly in my hometown where I do live since I was born in here), until all the way about how I simply watch any of them on YouTube. Without further ado, let me categorize into 3 different sections, which are from those of my old schools, watching parades or displays in person, and watching many of those YouTube videos of them.

A. Marching/drum bands from your old schools? 🥁🎺

As what I clearly stated just earlier, I was an ex-marching band player from those 3 aforementioned old schools where I used to study back in those days per each of them. Except, I used to wield one of the percussion instruments only, rather than certain of those melodica or brass instruments though. As for the percussion instruments that I was referring to, I only used to wield mainly snare drums, simply because it was an easy percussion instrument that I ever played since those of my childhood days in my very first kindergarten until those days in my old primary school IMO (albeit the one in my primary school was obviously more advanced for sure).

As for the display and parades from one of them (for this case, my old primary school, because why not), here are both of my notable moments about each of them both:

  • Display : I remembered that time when I and several of my old friends used to perform our drum band display that was held in someone's senior high school in order to win a display competition against many other marching/drum bands from various other primary schools around my entire hometown. Even though we eventually got the second place, but it was highly amazing experience to say the least.
  • Parade : The word itself is pretty much self-explanatory in general (because this one was obviously more common than the display), although I remembered the time when I was totally exhausted while the parade itself was on-going, I had to take a break by sitting on my school's janitor's pedicab that was ridden by himself, alongside with the snare drum itself that I used to wield it with me for a moment (yep, the snare drum itself was somewhat heavy to me).🥁

B. Marching/drum band parades around your hometown? 🥁🎺

Moving on to how I watched various marching/drum band parades around my hometown, specifically performed by various schools (such as kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, and senior/vocational high schools). Even though those were much more common to encounter them per each of them since my childhood per each of those days where the whole government used to host each of the aforementioned parade events themselves every once per year, but I remembered if our whole government from our hometown used to invite two special guest military style cadet drum bands into my hometown, which those were both Indonesian Naval Academy and Institute of Home Affairs, respectively. However, I didn't even watch the Indonesian Naval Academy's cadet drum band in person though (though they used to invite them twice), instead I used to briefly watch the Institute of Home Affairs one from more than a decade ago. The aforementioned drum band itself was exactly what I highly excited for, more so than those of the common marching/drum bands that were performed casually by various schools around my entire hometown (except for few of them that looked great IMO). Overall, I'm glad if I used to watch at least one of those cadet military style bands in person, but I highly doubt it if our current government from our hometown will able to invite another one of those anytime soon for now.

C. Marching/drum band videos on YouTube...🥁🎺

Of course if I ever watched many of those marching/drum band that were performed by various schools around my hometown where I do live, I also watch many YouTube videos of themselves too! However, I actually watched them since my childhood, back when I specifically used to briefly watch them from my old laptop or my very first smartphone. Even though it was painfully difficult to connect them both to the internet to begin with, at least I was able to watch my very first marching/drum band videos on YouTube, which were various marching/drum band parades from various schools in Rantepao, North Toraja, South Sulawesi (unfortunately, all of those old videos of them were deleted already, although I was able to download them though when they were available online from back then).

Surprisingly, right after roughly more than a decade without watching those YouTube videos of them, I decided to watch even more of them due to my boredom against all of my own stuffs that I'm currently enjoying them these days. Anyway, the list of the videos of them are:

  • Various videos of popular cadet military style bands from our whole country (such as Indonesian Armed Forces Academy, Indonesian Naval Academy, Indonesian Air Force Academy, and Indonesian Police Academy). Others such as Institute of Home Affairs do count for this category, and so for many more cadet military/marching bands from certain other academics, polytechnics or universities (such as merchant marine polytechnic[s], land transport academy, defense university, etc.).
  • Various videos of certain military style bands that are "inspired" their styles from those of the aforementioned popular cadet military bands from our whole country, including those that are from the senior cadet high schools and those of non-civil institutes.
  • Many videos of those marching/drum bands performed by various schools around my hometown, although majority of them (except for kindergartens and most of the primary schools) are now using modern marching style bands instead of the classic ones.
  • Some of the "cheapo" marching/drum band groups performed by certain small communities or simply by a small group of people, including those from my hometown where I do live.
  • More videos of various marching/drum band parades and displays from various schools around the eastern part of our whole country (for this case, Rantepao [North Toraja, South Sulawesi], Baubau [Buton Islands, Southeast Sulawesi], and so on).
  • Those of the "dance-able" marching/band groups, performed by bunch of those performers per each of the groups from rural areas in entire regency of Sukabumi (excluding the Sukabumi City), West Java.
  • Some lyre cover videos, both from our country or outside our country. Heck, one of them used to cover my favorite video game's soundtracks too (for this case, some of the original Plants vs. Zombies soundtracks like Watery Graves [Pool level], Graze the Roof [Roof level], Brainiac Maniac [Dr. Zomboss battle], and Cerebrawl [Puzzle mode, both Vasebreaker and I, Zombie levels]). Not sure for any other videos with different melodica instruments besides lyre though (as for now).
  • Bunch of marching/drum band groups performed by any foreign people who lives in their respective countries that aren't from our country, albeit I rarely watch them though besides most of those lyre cover videos that I mentioned just earlier (as for now).

Well, there you have it for my own story about the marching/drum band stuffs in general, ranging about how I used to perform in each of the marching/drum bands in those of my old schools where I used to study back in those days, then I used to watch all of those marching/drum band parades in my hometown where I do live, and how I still watch many of those YouTube videos of them since those good old days too. If you have your good old memories regarding to this exact topic (such as performing at least one of those in your own school[s], or probably remembering the time when your hometown's government used to invite one of those special military style cadet drum bands [if any]), feel free to share your own story in the comments section if you still recognize them though until today. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this short article.

your favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies NON Peashooter mini figures...

After I made my article that clearly explained particularly about my favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Peashooter mini figures, so it's time for explaining about my other favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies plant mini figures that aren't Peashooters... I know if most of those figures weren't my personal favorites, but I spotted plenty of them that were also my favorites, so. Well then, let's take a look at those of the said figures of them, shall we?


According to what I clearly stated in one of my older articles that I made particularly back from almost 6 years ago, there were 4 of them that were my favorites (although one of them is now no longer my favorites), so those were:

  1. Sunflower : Possibly one of my favorite Sunflower mini figures that I ever seen, although I still prefer that 2013 Indonesian KFC toy equivalent of the similar character. This was also the one and only Sunflower mini figure that had it's own ability where I was able to rotate her head 360 degree, unlike majority of toys and mini figures from various toy companies that featured her in each if the sets... That also applied to her Garden Warfare counterpart of the said character too (including one of her variants; for this case, it was Power Flower), but unfortunately I didn't have that one yet to this day (and so for that aforementioned variant of herself too, bummer).🌻
  2. Bloomerang : This was possibly my most favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies mini figure that wasn't Peashooter or any of his variants. Although I used to have one of those mad common cheap PVC mini figure equivalent of the similar character, but as soon as I acquired this one, I was so amazed by the design of it overall. Even though there was the Jazwares mini figure equivalent of the aforementioned character, but I still prefer this one because it somewhat had better versatility where I was able to flick his own "hockey stick" boomerang projectiles.
  3. Cabbage-pult : Even though this used to be one of my favorites, especially about how I used to be a mad enthusiast with it instead of Peashooter and all of his variants... As for the figure itself, it was possibly one of my favorites where it simply had partially better appearance compared to one of those mad common cheap PVC mini figure equivalent of the similar character that I used to own.
  4. Rose (Garden Warfare 2) : This was my favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 mini figure that I ever acquired that wasn't the Peashooter or one of his variants that they featured (for this case, it was Plasma Pea), although it wasn't on the same level as that Peashooter would do. Design-wise, I know if this wasn't the greatest (which was lower tier than the Citron and Kernel Corn), but it is somewhat better versatility than that costly Diamond Select Toys figure equivalent of her... For some odd reason, the one that I specifically own had slightly better appearance compared to most people who owned it (especially for both of her eyes though, if I'm not mistaken), including several people who discovered them through many old YouTube reviews that featured them from a while back.🌹
(Video courtesy on the 📱 that I'm holding there: Puppet Steve's YouTube channel)

As for the other plant figures besides those that I clearly mentioned above, here are the honorable mentions of the rest of the plant mini figures about them:

  • Wall-nut and Infi-nut : I decided to mention them both here because these were definitely my least favorite K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies plant figures that I ever seen so far, being the Infi-nut was the worse one between the two.
  • Bonk Choy : Even though this one wasn't my personal favorite, but I'm pretty sure you used to excite over it, including the dark transparent green version of it too.
  • Snapdragon : Again, even though this one wasn't my personal favorite, but some people out there would remember the time when they used to discover this exact character in one of the blind bag series, it was definitely the most dangerous K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies plant mini figure that they ever assembled.
  • Laser Bean : Similarly to the previous 4 plants of the same reason, but I'm pretty sure most of the people would used to excite over it instead, either from that particular building set that exclusively featured it or one of the blind bag series.
  • Coconut Cannon : Again, similarly to the previous 5 plants of the same reason, except it was only featured exclusively in the one and the only building set that featured him, so.🥥
  • Kernel Corn (Garden Warfare 2) : Even though I own this one which isn't my personal favorites, but I had to admit if the design of the entire figure itself was definitely one of the greater ones that they ever designed and produced in general.🌽
  • Citron (Garden Warfare 2) : Similarly to the Kernel Corn of the same reason, but with vastly greater design since this was the one and the only IRL figure of the aforementioned character itself that specifically existed in those times.🍊

Well then, there you have it for what I could particularly say over those old K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies mini figures of themselves, specifically for any other plant figures besides the Peashooter and all of his variants which I already mentioned in one of my articles that exposed about them from couple of months ago. Again, even though there are lot of those Chinese sets that are somewhat "inspired" most of their designs from them nowadays (excluding the ones from the shooter games section), but those of the said mini figures of themselves were still my personal favorites to this day, but still, the plastic quality of them weren't that great either... Anyway, if you have your own thoughts and good old memories regarding to this exact topic, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if you're able to. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this entire article.

Ceiling fans in closed down stores around my hometown...🏬🏪

Around my hometown where I do live since I was born, there were plenty of stores that used to have various ceiling fans inside each of them. However, each of those places had their own story about how come if each of them just closed down due to various issues per each of them, including several of them which are now gone (including those fans inside). Without further ado, here are my short lists about them, shall we?

  • There was a bookstore that had bunch of old National orbit ceiling fans (the models of them were F-EQ403/F-EQ403-1 [❔], and F-EQ407, respectively), in addition of some KDK industrial exhaust fans in the back part of the place itself. Due to the store itself suddenly went out of business, it unfortunately got closed down and leased in around the last year. However, the store itself still left all of those fans inside, but I have no clue whether if they eventually get rid of them later on.
  • A small vintage store that had 2 KDK WZ56Q industrial ceiling fans, which I already recorded my original video of them both briefly back in 2015. Judging by the interior of it, it possibly used to be a cassette store that was once existed back in somewhere in ~80s, then in the meantime I recorded my aforementioned video of them both, it also used to be a small buffet restaurant. The place itself was closed down and leased, but I'm pretty sure if they left both of them inside.
  • A Soto restaurant that consisted of 2 Uchida Millennium industrial ceiling fans, which I already recorded my 🥔 video of them both briefly back in 2013. The place itself was closed down since a while ago, but I'm pretty sure if they still left both of them though.
  • A small clothing store that had National F-EY149-2 (❔) industrial ceiling fan, which replaced one of the two Matsunichi (❔) orbit ceiling fans with ludicrously wacky orbital movement. The place itself was closed down since a long time ago, but the fan itself is still left inside (and possibly one of those Matsunichi [❔] orbit ceiling fans).
  • A clothing store that had 3 Regency orbit ceiling fans and an Uchida Arctic decorative ceiling fan. The place itself was closed down since a while ago, but all of those fans themselves are still installed inside.
  • A boutique store that had Panasonic F-560A1 industrial ceiling fan, which I already recorded my original 🥔 video of it back in 2014, then followed by remake of it back in 2015 and another remake video of it in 2019. The place itself suddenly closed down since sometime ago, but the fan itself is still installed inside.
  • An old motorcycle store that had 48" DEMC industrial ceiling fan. It was closed down since more than a decade, but the fan itself is possibly still left inside.
  • A jewelry store that used to have Diamond industrial ceiling fan, which was closed down since a long time ago. I have no clue whether if the fan itself got removed or not, since the place itself seems to be intact even if it's closed.
  • Another jewelry store that had National F-EY149 industrial ceiling fan inside. The place itself was closed down since more than a decade ago, but the fan itself still left inside.
  • A small clothing store that consisted of 48" 70s SMC K48 and National F-EY149 industrial ceiling fans, which I recorded briefly in 2014 using one of my old 🥔 Android devices that I used to own. The place itself is now closed down and vacant, but both of them are still installed inside.
  • A boutique that consisted of 2 National F-560A1 industrial ceiling fans. The place itself is now closed down and vacant, but both of them are still installed inside.

  • A 🛍 store that used to consist of 2 CMC Niko (❔) industrial ceiling fans. The place itself was closed down since a while ago, but I'm pretty sure if both of them were removed already.
  • A fruit shop that used to have CMC and 48" Guang Dian (❔) industrial ceiling fans, which this place also used to have another CMC which got removed firstly. The place itself eventually went out of business yet they removed all of those fans, and then the entire place itself was replaced by a cafe.
  • A small fried chicken restaurant that used to have 48" Uchida industrial ceiling fan. The place itself was closed down and the fan itself was removed, yet it recently replaced with a roasted bread eatery without it.
  • An old cafe and karaoke place that was located in the corner of the intersection, used to have few black National F-EY141 industrial ceiling fans. The entire place itself was closed down since almost two decades ago, and all of those fans were removed already. FYI, this exact place also used to be another cafe that used to have some MT. EDMA ceiling fans inside, but then the place itself also got closed down right after almost a year later (I have no clue whether if they still left those fans though).
  • A fried chicken restaurant that used to have 2 Sanyo industrial ceiling fans. The entire place itself was closed down since few years ago, and both of them were removed already.
  • A bookstore that used to have 3 Sanyo industrial ceiling fans. The entire place itself was closed down since few years ago, and all of them were removed already... It recently got replaced with a Miniso store.
  • An old clothing store that used to have 10 National F-EQ401 (❔) orbit ceiling fans, which I recorded my 🥔 video of it briefly back in 2014. Due to fatal administration issues that was occurred in that store, it got closed down and all of those fans were removed already.*

FYI, before this place was initially existed, it used to be some sort of variety store that used to have 3 old 48" Matsunichi and 48" CMC industrial ceiling fans (which one of the Matsunichis got replaced by a 48" National F-EY129-2 [❔])... Due to fatal administration issues that was occurred in that store, it got closed down and all of those fans were removed already.*
  • A fairly large supermarket and arcade game center that used to have certain old industrial ceiling fans (such as CMCs, Alaskas [PT. AMI], Diamond [which was just like a CMC], and National F-EY149-1s), and National F-EQ403-1 (?) orbit ceiling fan. That place also had other fans like Katsu and CKE industrial wall fans, unknown industrial exhaust fans, and some KDK industrial exhaust fans that replaced those of the unknown industrial exhaust fans. I already recorded my original 🥔 video of it briefly back in 2013, and then followed by my remake video of it 2 years later. Due to fatal administration issues that was occurred in that store, the entire place itself was moved into another location and all of those fans were removed already.*
  • A clothing store that used to have 4 Uchida Millennium industrial ceiling fans. Due to fatal administration issues that was occurred in that store, it got closed down and all of those fans were removed already.*

* means not only the fact they were closed down, the entire government from my hometown also seized those places in order to reuse them as their own property.

The truth behind my dad's old Maspion orbit ceiling fan...

After I made 6 videos particularly about it since I made my own YouTube channel of fans from more than a decade ago, which my videos of them were:

  1. Original video from 2014,
  2. First remake video from 2015,
  3. Second remake video from 2019,
  4. Update video from 2020,
  5. Third remake video from this year, and
  6. Another update video from this year

This time, I decided to tell you specifically about how come if my dad literally acquired this exact old Maspion MOF-40 orbit ceiling fan since first time he acquired it from more than roughly 2 decades ago. Without further ado, let me share my own short story about how come if my dad owned this particular old orbit ceiling fan since then.

Basically, he acquired this old Maspion particularly from someone else which I had no clue where it originally came from, and it originally didn't work at all. However, he was able to resurrect it by repairing it's own fan motor (and possibly it's own internal wiring) to make it works again, including it's own orbital motor too (if I guessed that right)... Every parts on the entire fan itself were seemingly original (including it's own 3-speed regulator that came with it), judging by how this fan used to equip that one transparent light blue blade set before the aforementioned blade itself broke. From what I could recognize back in those good old days before I recorded my original video of it, it originally used to work on all 3 speeds like what it is now, except the low and medium speeds were way slower, and eventually it used to stuck on low speed just like what I clearly showed in my original 2014 video of it. As for the original orbital motor that used to equip on it back in those days, it used to work like what it is now, except it was a tiny bit faster (but not as fast as my 2020 update video of it), before it eventually stopped working somewhere before I recorded my original 2014 video of it.

Through many years since he acquired it specifically since then, it eventually ran into few noticeable issues, such as it used to work only on one speed, it used to barely blow any air delivery with that one solid dark blue blade that was once equipped on it, and it also caused one of the LED lights in his personal workplace just flickered endlessly as well, which occurred few months ago before a repairman repaired the entire thing to make it works better later on... However, after the repairman did the aforementioned job for doing so, it now works better as what I and he expected, in addition about how he was able to replace certain parts with a better one (such as fan motor, orbital motor, capacitor [❔], and the blade set itself). Even though right after that repairman already repaired it, it also used to suddenly stop working entirely by itself before he decided to call another repairman to repair it again. With the current state that it has since I made my second update video of it from this year, I'm glad if it's still works great after all these years in general, even if it used to ran into few of those aforementioned issues that I already mentioned just earlier.

Well, there you have it for the truth behind my dad's old Maspion orbit ceiling fan. If you have your good old memories regarding to this exact topic (such as watching those of my old videos about it, or owning experience with one of those orbit ceiling fans of the similar brand and model if you have at least one of those [except for generation, unless if you still somehow keep it or not]), feel free to share your own story in the comments section if your memory serves it right. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this short article.
