24 hours not enough

Ever wonder if there were like 36 hours a day. Its hard to spend quality time for myself after been sliced for working hours, driving around and stuck in a jam, breakfast, dinner, lunch in between, part time work and other necessary task which left me just a few or less than 3 hours of fun out of 24 hours in total. I wish i could overwrite my sleeping timetable to more shorter length so i have excess an hour but it would kill my biological clock. Time is crampy. That why wise man always says "Time is money, every second is valuable". I've been practise multi tasking whenever i go to save up more time between home, office and the outdoor task. I always bring stuff that i have to work on from home to the office so i can work it out during breakfast and lunchtime. while waiting for someone inside the car spent playing game on PSP or workout on r/c model assembly or sketch up my next 3d design. Whenever there a void between time i would use the time efficiently doing something that i would do next in advance and at later time i could continue the balance work which save me another extra for other task.
Benn having lots of grey hair on my head, everyday i would planned carefully about what to do next like working on new project, 3d design, outdoor mountain biking, maintenance, what to cook, when to play on my pc, hangout with friends and thing i would miss before my time comes. Wish that time stood still so i could roam freely

LRP SHARK aka ANDERSON MB4

Been runing this little critters for a month now after i sold off all my touring cars including parts and tools because this new ones are better both off-road an on-road. Small, portable, computerised high tech, jaw dropping power and speed not even any of our local real size supercar can catch up with it. Have both world latest technology and world most dangerous explosive power under the hood. Having going through several models throughout my secondary hobby lifespan i found this one an ideal racer both on-road and handling.

Specification:
-------------------------------
model: LRP SHARK 18/ANDERSON MB4
transmission: 4WD with 4 spider diff system
radio rx: Sanwa 2.4Ghz with fail safe
esc: Castle Creation - SIDE WINDER MICRO bushless ESC (upgraded software revision 1.17)
motor: Castle Creation CM2040 - 4200kv
Servo: HITEC Digital MG
power pack: GE-POWER 7.2v 25c Lithium Polymer
suspension: Oil shocks
------------------------------

What can i say, this is the most perfect rc model i ever own, everything custom built inside according to my driving style. The speed, power and computerised tuning is the most drooling factor to own one. Infact was a great machine to race against my rival on the race track...soon.

Micheal Jackson: Ironic is it the world are?



Heart felt condolences to Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009), may he rest in peace. He's my child hood superstar which reflect the pop culture of the 80's. As the news of his departure spread globally people began to flock to mourn and pay last respect to their vintage pop icon. On the other side however it is sad to know that after years of public criticism, bad publicity and bad view from the public and media they finally salute their hero....after he went out off out of this world. Ironic is it, when he was alive there was nothing for him but only when he die then they start to appriciate their losses. Today lots of Michael Jackson merchandices, music album and fans made media start preading around both for collective and commercial value. People start downloading and buy albums and even bid one of his stuff in ebay. For the music industry its business, others to pay his long outstanding debt while others just taking opportunity to gain profit. In my point of view all this events show our star mike is nothing but business ragdoll and no respect to his restless soul. If i were Mike i'm surely angry because all these happens only when someone is dead where he unable to enjoy much respect and benefits from the public. If the are truly want to respect as fans then they should do what Michael Jackson dream of...."make a better place for you and for me" just like in his song. Money does make happiness grows.

Big block ventilation on XAVAGE design


It took me a week to think about consequences having the idea to recycle the cockpit design meshed for the use other of my upcoming car design then being inside XAVAGE. I've some plans building 3 more new design using the same cockpit design but with implication having different engine setup and placement mount. Because all of them having V12 size engine cramped behind driver seat and need extra cooling and better air circulation for the driver itself generated from outer vent to both inner driver space and engine so i decided to add extra ventilation system just behind the driver seat which act as rear coolant because the air intake is just near by beside the external door. Its a new idea for me thus need improvement.

The almighty small 4WD dirt monster.

Once again......Its small but pack all the lastest technology equivalent to hi tech computer and machinery. Can't believe its costs a bang to let it run wild on the dirt track. 2.4Ghz spektrum module, high kv brushless motor technology, programmable computer tuned ESC with software modification and upgrade, 4 channel computerised remote control, high dischare rate lithium polymer pack, precision mechanical parts and lots more... and can fit inside a shoe box. This time its even better!!

Enter the urban jungle

Not far away from my house we rode inside the urban jungle which hidden and unknown by the public. Located not far away from the place we parked our car at Miri City public park, the dense partially exotic like jungle was very hilly thus challenge our mind as it felt very spooky and mixed auro through its surrounding. passing though open field of grass, dense bushes, steep rock climb, down slippery switch back corners, passing through haunted like houses and up again out into the urban world. Me how every don't even felt tired at all but excited because the trails are highly technical, full of obstacles and heavily arouse me to get over it and pump up the adrenaline. Bt the time i get back home once again the tire slowly spew some air out. Its either my weight or something hit it along the way. Must be the tire...$$$$ no no no.

Why don't we all be like this MEOW

Black color in virtual world


I real world i like black colored car, they look elegant and elite, they have mirrored shine. But i have to keep it clean all the time which is a minus and hardwork to keep it up. It a love and hate relationship: you love it because clean and shine but difficult to take care. But in virtual world especially in games its reversed. Black color looks dull and doesn't give contrast against any estatic looks in the car like black against chrome or any shiny material, and also doesn't reveal the car contour looks. Also in 3d design it doesn't give up much *bling factor could it be graphic rendering problem or lighting effect. Which is why you don't see much black colored vehicle design in my 3d models especially in games/simulation.

My inspiration comes from here


Ideas and inspiration for designs comes in various form, for example disc brake on my bike is an inspiration for my concept "DB-X8" disc brake system which evolve until current design. It also do apply for XAVAGE. Its vented disc rotor is an inspiration. "DB-X8" is an 8 piston caliper birth first on NEMIXIS models.

I wish.


I wish i can put my car model runing inside my PSP under modable game. To bad its portable processor cannot handle 60Kilos worth of 3d polys. Only if TRI (Terminal Reality) could resurrect its 4x4evo2 franchieses into PSP format.

Getting back old timers

Got so boring last night, loosing inspiration to pop-up an ideas. I turn up my old simulator and pull out few of my old untouch design from the past. Runing around on MAXXIMUS and X3-SIXTY. These two are short lived publicity. While the XCALIBUR buggy famed on 3rd place. However X3-SIXTY will be rolled out and into the garage for refurbished with new facelift soon because its the only models that is easily to be recycled back with a fresh new ideas. My hand pretty rusty on Z-modeler as it shakes likes athritic person, my accuracy diminished by 5%, lol

New seat design for XAVAGE

I was think the stock XAVAGE seat design was gloomy un-assimilated with external design. So i make an aerodynamic looks in Zmodeler. Looks diabolic and more sharpy looks. Still at infancy stage, will need to put extra mini roll bar above the head rest and some handles beside it. It should look well blend with its cockpit design.

Bee huun!!!


Dry Bee huun, dry Mee Huun, dry Bihun or what every you call this noodle its still my favorite morning breakfast before head to office. Its best stomach filling breakfast for this month. Last month was Laksa noodles but some how i felt puked when i discover something there was something else funny in there. So i list it out this month.

Wash me not

Its dirty alright but its been a month i've lost my mood to wash my car. Enjoy comes first. Then my car.

Yeah driving is boring

Trust me i don't like driving during working days, i wish i could cycle to the office instead. Driving in the middle of traffic is brain stress, back in the old days cycling feels like Tour de France...daily

Long hard day

Sunday is like obligation to ride, as we aged we gain some fat under the skin. So we hit the trails. The trails were very muddy took out 60% pedal power effort. At the end of the day we huff and puff down taking our breath, relaxing and all we have in mind was cold chilling fizzy carbonate drinks. Will have some bad news with muds all over my bike, car and clothings. Expect 40% brain functionality next day.
