Oopps..My bad...

2009-05-21T06:17:00.000-07:00

It is only recently that this happened to me...

If you can see the picture clearly enough...yes,..I broke my front door..

Even the door was made to last a decade, sais to be quite secure and all..

Two years of my bad habitual rough pressing on the door knob ended up causing this..

On closer inspection,...I might have caused a misplacement in the locks alignment..

but apprrently, I broke the spring part-that-connects-to-the-handle-and-latch-thingy...

So, I am pretty much almost gonna be stuck at home for a couple of days, waiting for the doorsman to tear down the door; not the whole thing-just the knob..

Funny how, for now, I have to walk out from behind the back of the house, and around teh back alley just to get to my car in the front lawn..

Though one of the few risk is that I would have to brave myself through the DARKNESS!!..

Yeah, with all those mysterious night-creatures and possible Silent-Hill-Mcfarlane monsters that I could imagine.. Geez...what fun....

Procrastinating via Casuals

2009-05-09T19:20:00.000-07:00

It's been a long, long while since I played a PC casual game. And ever since I was introduced to a few years old Casual game, from a Certain X, I got back me ol' obsession in the gaming life. Ended up downloading different series and versions of the same thing. And what kinda casual game are these, may you ask?

Searching..Like these titles..

Even though the content in each are 'tried to be' different, essentially the gameplay's the same..

To find stuff..

Can you find the following items (right list) in this picture..

Yes, ther's no action, stratey o' sorts..just plain simple puzzles..And this was what

This is me in the forst night after work..

This is me the next night after work..

This is me a few weeknights after work...Not even updating this blog as I told meself to..

And one would notice that I've gotten a lil' lazy-slower on the blogging rate..

I'd blame this consummable fish for the most part..

Now, I'm into eating fish...

KL Design Week

2009-04-27T18:50:00.000-07:00

Damn!..Forgot to post this up..

And it's been like nearly a month old...Wow, didn't realise the passing time.

Still used my untrusty phone camera-thing and randomly snap pictures on what the home guys/gals here have to offer; and they've done a pretty good job too, artisitcally speaking..

Lotsa photographers too..

(Below) Started here, with all of Noah's animals.. I think the White Rabbit has been overrated..

To this square eden...

Some group trying to tie everyone they've met into a giant web of conspiracy..

Cute bat people-okemon wannabes..

Making faces from newspapers bits..seen it before..yet still admire the effort..

Pigs...swine flu wants to fly..

An older women's obsession with balls..

Some guys trying to experiment with lighting..must be fans of the Wizard of OZ..

Zombies...trying to spread their undeadly influences via T-shirt viruses..

.... No idea what they're trying to recycle into...shiny though...

More photo-paint-based experiments... with a tint of Asian..some Hong Kong comic-style artist..

..and some Japanese studio too..

Some college student's advertising show-n-tell..interesting..

Some lady posing in front of a 'wall full of wallpapers'..

She works for this company...no wonder...duh..

These are done by today's freeelancers...really good stuff..

Cintiq!....I WANT!!....

....~$1200...Sob...:C..

Even Buddha appreciates being tattoed...

Ah...it's a birdcage.....

...full of birds..

...Finally found the White Rabbits...so there you are..

...What's the point you got nothing besides a poster to showcase stuff?

Chess vs. an army of eyeballs..

More eco-friendly trees..

..Some eco-frendly hippie teaching some random guy on how to blow some kinda-flute..

while selling off some of her eco-friendly merchandise..

...Being greeted by the townfolks as I left the place..

Conclusion,..it's better to go there for appreciation then looking back at badly shot photoes fro a crappy camera...

sob...I want Cintiq....

Respect the Cinema Posters

2009-03-31T08:05:00.000-07:00

There is a reason why billboards and posters are put in front of cinemas.

And vandalsing them is not one of them.

Please respect the billboards..

Some Recent Hotlink Anime and Games Festival

2009-03-24T06:10:00.000-07:00

I went to a shopping complex called Times Square last Sunday (came a bit late), just to take a look at what was in store in this small event; mostly what the Malaysian artists and game developers have to offer (Below).

*Note that some of the pictures taken are quite of a blur due to very clumsy hands that day...

(Above) some mascot for Gempak comics

(Above) My Mopetz booth.. some tamagochi-like simulator...

(Above) Children playing some Dance Dance Revolution game... didn't know that these are still around...

(Above) Another cell phone game Booth: Hotlink Warriors 3 - which is a fighting-turned to action adventure-turned to rpg-now becomes a action puzzle game...

(Above) some Watchmen merchandise on display, including a cell-phone game - sorry for the blurred photo..

(Above and above the above) A few people cosplaying as the Wathmen's Comedian and Dr. Manhattan..

Easter Eggs that I didn''t know; G Gundam

2009-03-16T05:54:00.000-07:00

*Warning* This is for those who knows alot of the Gundam anime series since the 80's and 90's...

Mobile Fighter G Gundam...

It's an old Gundam anime series...

I recently happened to come across some Chineses website... and it's only up until now that some fan of the series discovered several easter eggs regarding the series... It's a Super Robot Taisen/War in disguise!...

...particularly on some Gundams that weren't meant to be in the series to begin with...

*Note the circled areas in each pictures*

... one example...(below)...

We wee the original Gundam RX78 hugging a earth-space rocket, preparing for some space battle with Devil Gundam...

(Above)... Gundam GP01 fullburnen ( forgot the spelling) from 0083 Stardust Memories joining the final fight in space...

..(Above) We see Gundam Rx78 again, trying to assist the sailor-like Nobel Gundam (which is from the G Gundam series)...

...(Above), (from left ro right): Gundam RX78 again,... Gundam GP01 and GP03 Stamen (Stardust Memories), Zambolt3 (not a Gundam - from 1977's Invincible Super Man Zambot 3), and Gun Cannon (Gundam RX78's support unit)..

...(Above) (from left): Zeta Gundam (MS Zeta Gundam), Zambot3 again, looks like Wing Gundam (Find this weird, since W Gundam comes after this anime series - probably for promotion's sake),...and Gundam F91 (Gundam F91)...couldn't tell the rest..

(Above - behind) Victory2 Gundam (from Gundam V) that appears to be creeping up from behind the three other Gundams (they're from the G Gundam series)...

A Near Unfortunate Accident

2009-02-27T23:06:00.000-08:00

This was sent from a friend of mine: I'll re-type what she wrote...

Read The Caption on the first photo ....then look at the second photo...

Look at the picture above, and you can see where this driver
broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert,
where people are standing on the road, pointing.

The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph, from right to left,
when it crashed through the guardrail.

It flipped end-over-end, bounced off and across the culvert outlet,
and landed right-side-up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling.

The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger
were unhurt, except for minor cuts and bruises.

Just outside Flagstaff , AZ on U.S. Hwy 100.

Now, look at the second picture below . .

-_- -_- -_- -_- -_- -_- -_- -_-

If this guy didn't believe in God before,
do you suppose he believes now?

They are two lucky people... -_-

I hope they don't get acrophobic nightmares after this... -_-

A Life-Death Experience a Microwave away

2009-02-11T09:23:00.002-08:00

Clumsy me,... I forget that one of the most convenient meal-heating invention can also a fatal one with improper use.

About a week ago, which was one of those would be dull mornings, I would ghoulishly awake from me overly-comfy bed, wash up and, me thought of getting something simple for a typical breakfast meal; a few pieces of garlic bread and a cup of hot cocoa.

The only thing was that I needed some hot water, which I haven't boiled yet.

And so,...the next best thing comes to mind... the microwave...

While using this plastic cup...

Figured I set... thought I'd set the timer to 20 seconds... ended up not noticing me pointer finger pressing onto the mintue button twice...

While spreading garlic onto me toast and waiting for the cocoa to heat up, this happened...

Then comes the messy scene...

(Note: I forgot to take pictures of the scene, so some things were photo-made...)

And this was how the cup looked like...

So what actually happened? Here're a few diagrams... me, having barlic bread..

The blast..

Lucky for me, I was sitting next to the device unstratched, still half awake... And if I were to be, say... a meter in front of it, here the heavier pieces would have been the fatal kill...

I would have ended up like this... with this written on my face...

This is what it looked like right now on the inside after cleaning up the place... and it still works, just without the spinnig polymer glass platform and the internal lights...

But then again, even if the microwave didn't explode... I would have faced another fatal dilemma in the long run...

But the mosat unfortunate thing that day was, ... realizing that its expiry date was due the week before... Lol...

Misconception of a Buffet

2009-02-02T19:47:00.001-08:00

Ahhh... Buffet ...the ideal sound of eating as much as one wants and whatever the cooks provides … as long as one get past the slightly high toll price, that is…

And yet, people still can’t grasp the idea of stuffing up till they’re piggy-bellied; they had to take in the habit of ‘over-taking’ and competing with one another just to get a few extra plate full of the cooks’ blood and sweat just for the sake of getting it and only to let the cleaners to dump them away…

…whatta waste of food…

Once, in a typical Chinese buffet that I went to, this unethical habit has shown its presence among the other consumers…

This one was left by a family of two mothers and four children,…the mothers most probably didn’t teach their children on how to save food…

Here’s from a group of male adult friends…

And the habit continues till breakfast; sigh,…left for the birds and bees…

Apparently, this may contribute to a reason why there is someone else who is choking up their tummies due to starvation…

And the cleaners don’t seem to mind considering them as garbage when it’s obviously untouched…

Well at least someone has the brains of ‘taking away’ food and prevent themselves from cooking for a day…

Sigh, I just hope that someone would actually understand the idea of saving food as the world’s supply can’t handle the current population and the next billions of unplanned babies, no thanks to ‘the more children the merrier’ idea… (“news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Octuplets-Born-In-US-Eight- Babies-For-California-Mother/Article/200901415210908”)

I also hope that someone would come up with a recycling solution of used food, thus ending the food wastage and making farmers to lose their profits due to demand on recycled food…

…and turning recycled food consumers into this…

…and converting former crop fields into this…
