Shame to hear these people nowadays especially young generation falling for material gain rather than keeping their flesh and soul intact just because someone owns something to keep up the "high status" quo. Get I-phone and I-pad just to access internet? I'd rather stick to good old notebook cause its faster, easy to use and less hassle. Anyway i hardly going on mobile gadgets never used anything to view nor type on such small screen..so unpracticle. Also have never been interestd in "oh that guy has cool stuff, i must have one too!!" part of society that live based on materialistic status because its not part a must have survival kit. But foods are must!!


Having graduated as an Information Technology Bac. Degree holder i still keep my way of life as an old skool back to simplicity life to interface with the world and people rather heavily influenced by rapid technology around me. I just walk around with cheap small 7 year old phone in my pocket and it does enough daily job done. Technology necessary if it solve problem not adding problem to the solution. Would you eat a burger with fork and spoon?, when you can actually use your hand to hold it and put the burger it into your mouth. Like i-phone and i-pad to a spoon and fork its completely unnecessary. Unecessary gadgets are pretty much marketting hype to get more profit.


I don't have I-phone or I-pad but i don't think i really need it even if i could afford it, after much thoughts about paying internet broadband cost, frequent charging, bulky pockets and too fragile to carry around on my outdoor adventure mission i think i doesn't benefit me at all. I'd save my money good good happy meal, nice warm clothing, R/C models to keep me thrilling and bicycle maintenance cost to keep my adventurous journey going.

More bumps, bruises, crashes and scratches

Someday i'm lucky some day am not, but sometimes its best to crash once a while on two wheels and last few days ago i have my faceplant after drop down the steep edge of the trails. Wasn't that bad since i get used to it all the time but when i got up it made me wanted to go over the edge again since it was like "what? that's it?" For me every crashes is a step by step path to enlighten my karma, an added ingredients to my adrenaline junkie. Feels like a real man when you had one or more. Life is a bummer when you're like "no pain no gain" thing. So...Adrenaline kicking, ride fast, jumps, crashes, gets up, a smile in the face, thumbs up and lets do it again. Is life an awesome adventure!

Happy fly day

My weekends went out awesome! Was having a great time flying my helicopter outdoor in the open field with high winds to keep my adrenaline pumping. Zoom fast like a missle, soar high like an eagle and took manly crash without serious damages like a man. Unlike any other land base R/C models i play this one keep my chin held up high to view the open blue sky and white clouds. Really taught me to appreciate the atmospheric beauty in the air. Here some of my recorded event flying my heli ALIGN TREX 100 on video in youtube. Enjoy.

Life is just awesome!...going everyday on two wheels.

After years commuting on bicycles to work finally i think life was too perfect for me.  Feel younger, active and just kill 3 or more birds with one stone. Life is very lively.  I loose massive weight, my long pants getting extremely loose..very loose!, have time to enjoy radio control hobby/activity in between, save fuel and money, save traffic headache, save time because i can slip through traffic, had a good sleeping time, wake up late but stay fresh, have time to eat proper home made breakfast and my health is improving plus getting strong leg muscles.  Wow! all these because i'm skipping from drving my car to work and getting on my bicycle...this is so awesome!  Other than that it seems my often presence on local road have become part of familiar appearance among traffic user which is good for me so that they aware that i'm using the same road everyday too.   When the weather is all good with blue sky and white clouds its nice to tour around and enjoy the scenery..just plugin into my MP3 SONY WALKMAN and there goes enjoyment. Sunset always been so beautiful along the coastal area as i'm riding on my way home.  Sometimes if i get hungry i have lots of mobilty opportunity to wonder through several burger stalls, cafes and food stores without worry about parking space problem.  I can also go about wondering my own business without worry time and fuel. 

Full surveilance going portable

Check this out what i won through ebay bids, got me 2 units of MINI DV MD80 (clone), a micro video cam recorder which i always wanted to have so small enough  i could stick on my helmet, on my bike or on my R/C models to records on going events happens around me on video print.  Its also another good investment and insurance to protect me on dangerous road when going cycling.  Who know someday if get knock by irrenponsible driver i could actually got the evidence recorded in my Mini DV.   Glad it came in very handy.  As for my review, this clone MD80 comes with 720x480 resolution running at 29-30fps, runtime of 2 hours (i guess) consume almost 2GB for 30 minutes recording, support max up to 16GB recording.  It need to use micro SD card to store the video which doesn't come in the box, so i bought separately a 4GB SANDISK type 4 for smoother recording but i should get type 6 with 16GB max.  USB connectable/rechargeable, voice activated, thumbs size,CMOS cam, include lots of brackets holder, optional rubber protection and cheap price was a good value camera just the right job.

TRAXXAS STAMPEDE!!

Now a happy man owned a rugged durable monster machine to kill his spare time,  i'm glad to found it over the internet at very good bargain price through local seller.  Behold Radio Control 1/10 TRAXXAS STAMPEDE XL-5.  Its 2WD and it can wheelie!!  I couldn't imagine how awesome this machine could do having being outdoor wheelie all day because in the past i hardly could wheelie any of my r/c models full time even after some mods.  This guy was pretty huge for a 1/10 scale, huge wheels, fat suspension system,  simple tub chassis design, 2WD for wheelie and cheap maintenance cost and great thing about the electronics is its waterproof!..yup from servo, esc to motor so i have no worry being under the rainy days.. yiippeeee!!.  Having a famous name like TRAXXAS comes with quality high impact resistant plastic and very tough drive terrain gear system could withstand harsh bashes and less pocket burning for parts.  I think it was a good investment since i looking forward to put some experimental video works with Mini DV MD80 cams mounted on this truck for First Person View driving and to fill some void during my passive spare time for example when i'm not cycling or day off relaxing my legs under the sun.  Will post some video of Pede in action soon.
