Sneek Peek! NX-360..the shadowy vision

Its end of the month! Finally i come out with public sneak peek preview of new car for an anonymous game else would be 4x4evo1/2 models at my website (http://www.geocities.com/SupermotoXL). Was suppose to release immediately after shadowy preview but after checking out at final quality touch up on the models i notice there was a UV Mapping error on texture on top of the models back roof and cracky vertices which spoil the vertex shading on the car nose. Was not a big deal to fix it but that would steal my time since i'm busy working on my project which assigned by my boss from he office. Was really a busy day this month but i try to keep myself at easy happy and reduce as much tension as possible. Plus i have a tooth ache...a pinch of salty food could spoil my toothy day. hhhrrrrmmmm......man i miss that Cadbury Chocolate.

Yeah!...FLATOUT 2!



Wooohooo!...yeah finally i get my hands on FLATOUT 2! ha ha.. very funny, yeah i know why a year later i could get hold of the game..because its like hmmm...err.. budget was on par and found perfect time to play games and stuff.
On the first day i've spent 5 hours driving and bashing with other cars, some street, derby and races. Graphics was top notch! go thing 7600GT was alive enough to generate stuning graphic. After futher thinking i would probably put my models for FLATOUT 2. So i have two games to create models for: 4x4evo2 and FLATOUT 2. Tonite i'm going behind the joystick again and bash more cars!

Adventure returns!

Another great adventure day is here again, Sunday is always a golden holiday for me. The beach, blue sky, green nature and windy breezy wind...umm yeah some coconuts! Well last Sunday me and a group of friends went out riding on out mountain bikes out into the Borneo Forest in the outskirt of Miri City, a few miles away from hustle bustle of busy cities. We started our journey from the beach. Landed at 3.30pm and on the move by 3.50pm toward front end of local beach villages along the seaside. From there we penetrate through into the forest. Thick bushes, narrow trails and cracky soils and roots all are an exciting challenges pounced onto our physical strength. A few miles in the forest i was having a tyre puncture, the whole pack move on leaving me behind and a friend to accompany me while i'm fixing the tyre. A few minutes later me and my buddy on the move through the grassy fields backdropped with beautifully hilly scenery...too bad we have to endure some muddy pot holes. Around us looks like some African savana trails with that trees around us look alike ones. The pack that move ahead of us was not in our sights and way too fasr to reach since they all gone into dark narrow twisty forests. But we manage to zig zag in the jungle since we've been here couples of time without worries of getting lost. We reached a small river where we have to hike up our bike over it, then passes some mangroove of Jackfruits trees..there too many over grown fruit fell down lay wasted and smell very strong too, After zig zagging for few hours both of us manage to reunite wit the rest of the cycling pack at the intersection of a path in the middle of local villages. So we continue to south direction towards hilly area and going down into cracky soily trails which leads to Borneo Lambir National Park.
.......and so we ride and ride and ride and ride and ride......few hours later we turn back after found a dead end where big trees and unpaved trails blocking our route to designated destination. At 6.30pm we turm around and head back home on reverse direction. This time we sprint all the way to the finishing point. Its win win situation to see who reached to the finishing line which is where we parked our cars. I hammered my bike really hard and whipped at 57Km/h speed. Later i ended at 4th place! not bad at all. 30 minutes later the whole rides manage to gather around and pop-up some cold iced isotonic drinks. Its was sunset, we sat around facing the beach scenery looking at sundown turn romantic orange...it was beautiful! After a few chat and laugh we head back home....ahhhhh!!!! time not wasted...i love my life, life well spent enjoying whats surround us.

Spooky encounter? or something else?

Well today i went up to Canada hill after office hours at 5.30pm...its a hill located in the city..don't know why we call it "Canada" hill. So i went up there on my mountain bike and hoping to get there and take picture of the city from wide clear view above..its pretty windy and the weather is gloomy..was about to rain with little drizzle. I tooks a few shots on the city horizon, ride around for fun and then return back home by dawn.


Reached home, took out all those photo into my PC. View through the picture and suddenly spot an odd looking photo which i felt uneasy because i don't think it was suppose to be there. A dark shadowy figure at torso level..doen't seems to be part of the nature backdrops...hhmmm. A ghost? paranormal entity or something natural that i misinterpret or maybe just a blurry light branches of a tree, But my heart instinct felt the other way around. Spooky? you judge it.

The sky so blue!


Blue! Color of peace... I'm really glad and lucky enough to realised that i was born to live freely under the sky and have freedom to wonder around and enjoy the beauty which few people didn't notice what they haved missed. I went outside the office during lunch time and took a nice shots of Nimbus cloud formation. It was beautiful creamy puffy white backdropped with bright blue color. In my heart i was very excited to see it and dream to wonder around the land below the bright blue sky. It makes me want to bring out my bike and ride!.....taste the breezy wind blew around my body, pass by green white cotton grass and over looks the horizon of vast sea and mountains....usually i experince it on every Saturday and Sunday noon...ride out of the city and into the wild country side.

When i was young me and my friend used to cycle along the beach at noon, the sound of wavy sea, the sound of wind twirl in my ear, trees and green grass sways as we pass by. The bright sunshine sparkle the sea water into bright crystal like glass and reflect blueish sky above. It was a breath taking scene! We always go up into the hill and lay down on the grass for hours staring at the oceans and up in the sky. My mind was at peace, empty but filled with unexplained happiness...no more worried about school, homeworks, anger, frustration, headache, worries, video games, moneys, materialism or anything that bothers our mind. Strange.... just by looking up into huge space of emptyness by bright blue sky..... minds wonders so freely... thought why? ...but dunno what in my mind.... its all beautiful. Ever since then i was tempted to go outdoors seeking peace and happiness with my trusty companion..a mountain bike.

Fear nothing...travel miles away from home seeking for a perfect place to set free my mind, thinking one day i may find Utopia or Heaven's garden. Heee...heee... sometimes it really helps to develop positive creativity minds and build more innovative imagination by just wondering out there doing your own version of epic adventure for a day.

New little brother code: NX-360

Today i'm pretty proud and happy to be back behind my pc and work out final touch on my newly created models going to roll out hopefully by end of this month. Codename: nx-360. This models will be much familiar in appearance in styling and concept but a little smaller, compact and more of Coupe sports car. Its has several fixes and upgrades from old NEMIXIS models. Still and foward cockpit syle but there's no more side skirt style of a ricer. First glance it'll look like something from FORD GT-40 genetic and dwaf like Lamborhini Gallarado size and more slanted rear end of an AUDI sports GT.
Because i refer this models as Codename: NX-360. There's no official name given until the last moment...i was kinda confuse which cool name to give this little brat, lol. This models come's in variety theme and for Touring edition it comes with phat GOOD YEAR tyre and drag race wheels set. Won't be much *bling* factor, its a race ready out of the box mad car. ...

Do you think Superman going to save our green earth?


On Blog Action Day: today let's talk about environment, this is dedicated to environment awarness campaign. (warning: my english wasn't good all so beware of some broken languages and some grammar garbage...hey at least i can spread a meaningfull and understandable messages right?)


Have you guys realised how bad our environment have gone through. This year mankind is going to taste their own medicine. Gloomy sky, unatural weather phenomenon, sea level rises, people died because unpredictable flood storm, typhoon, hurricane, extreme dry seasons, landslides and forest fires. Actually there's more than that but just wake up and go outside and smell it. Read the news on tv, internet, radios and around you, weather changes dramatically.. 5 years ago news highlights on terror, wars, crimes and political unrest. This year 2007, its different..unatural weather kills people. Why? industial pollution, waste and smogs increase earth tempreature causing ice pole melts and atmospheric weather to expands at uncontrollable rate pushing the air and wind spinning around like mad.

Industrial and commercialisation pushing our environment to the edge of disaster:

Here is a simple equation-

People getting richer >> they afford to buy car (thermal and air pollution) >> need more fast foods (waste/material pollution) >> more food more factory to process products (industrial waste/thermal pollution, chemical threats) >> then more labour to work on the products (over population/urban development and land clearing) >> need more raw material and resources to produce products (chopping woods/logging/clearing for agriculture/animal hunting) = when all consume they produce waste.

People create waste and dump waste after comsumption..these are not ordinary waste we're talking about, these are plastics, metals, zinc, CFC, carbons, chemical, radiation and other dangerous substances.

I'm telling you, my sister who works in a hospital..cancer patient increase steadly, respiration/breathing problem, skin cancer and things you do not want to know about....trust me its..ewwww!!!..


I'm a bicyclist, a mountain biker who enjoy riding up into the mountains, green hills, beautiful forest and enjoy anything that nature have to offer under bright blue sky. Through my eyes after cycling into the forest mountain for 17 years i witness a dramatic degradation of forest and natural resources in our tropical forest and everthing that are green around my surrounding began to dissappear robbed in the name of human development and commercial progress.
Sometimes i really hate people chop off trees, woods and clear the land! Mountain biking have no adventure at all on bald yellow soil! We need trees, rocks, clean waters and chripping birds to fill in the scene... but now the place looks like some alien nuked the forest into big bowl of comets craters! ...sometimes along the way i can see local forest folks yammering and walking around protesting the loggers and developer from entering the forest.

Forest clearing for development....consequences the animals loses habitat...loses source of food and place where the should call home..chain of food pyramid broken. Very often i see animal started to invade urban spaces in every corner of the city and even homes seeking food, shelter and places in hope to survive. The places which was once and humble crowded happy forest already turn into concrete parking lots, buildings and commercial centers. I've saw exotics birds like Hornbills birds, Armadillos, monkeys and other extinct species roaming around the town looking for foods and seeking shelters in mans world. Some even attacked people because they need to survive and space to live. Reports on news about animal attack people become more frequent which was rare to be heard of a few years back. I've even saw a video clip from www.Youtube.com about seagull started to steal snack food from grocery stores daily!

Everytime i woke up in the morning there are at least 40% chances you're going to see bright blue sky in mid year. Others are 60% would be smog, gloomy weather, typhoon or storm floods. That's really spoil my riding days! Sunset always turn out to be dark yellow, contrast orange and sky always dark grey even during dry seasons. Did i say dry seasons?....you guys should see how dry seasons looks like in tropical forest in Borneo, ..no clouds, blue sky and the tempreature can boil and egg. This year if i go out cycling fo an hour i'll get tanned so easily it'll take years to scurb those burn off my skin.

At night news about floods in China, India, America and even at my local home, people swept away from fast water current, yup! you guess it people died and some loses home! Hurricane, typhoon and thunderstorm from east side and west side of the world...yup! people died again and wipe out entire cities!. Land slides in Indonesia, Latin America and other parts of the world..again people died and made homeless...buried for good. Extreme dry spell, heat and extreme winter seasons.....again people died of heat or frozen to death. What all these have in common? Read the news between 2006 and 2007. What? it all happen in a same year at short interval! Mother nature at work!? What triggers such extreme changes in weather phenomenon.

You still remember what Mr. Al Gore wa talking about on TV....polar ice, north/south pole and stuff? Most people took it nonsense and all it was about getting attention for next election with political motive...i was thinking about that too..... A month later after hurricane, typhoon, floods and dry spell hit the world in one slam, people start to wake up and smell the anguish of mother nature, yup he was right all along. Go GoogleMap! check places around the world, earth getting balder!, smogs over China and less ice on north and south pole!

There's a delima between stopping the commercialization and saving earth from polution:

1. IF >> Stop commericalisation/development/natural resources and save the environment = poor nation/economy breakdown + unemployment + public chaos + political chaos

or

2. IF >> Continue rob the forest and run industrial revolution = rich nation + economic stability + happy people + employment + political stability + electic power....

OMG! how? how? how were going to balance both man and nature???!

CONTINUE NEXT EPISODE ...tomorrow >>
