Squish out ideas for design contest..arrghhh!

Today i concentrate a lot on pulling out ideas on new models design PEUGEOT designs contest. It was tough considering the fact the the design has to meet specific criteria and theme requirement which reflect on the design itself. I pull out my 3d modeler program started making variable shape and sizes too see if any ideas spark behind these object outline. Now reached day 4 since i commence the design. I'm stuck! I'm stuck..no more ideas. Why stuck? ...because limitation like environmental friendly, simplicity, accessible, efficiency and stuff must be imbedded in those designs. However in history my line of design commonly based on muscle and exotics supercars that guzzle more energy and fuel comsumption and that is bad for the contest. Meanwhile i'm putting "SIXTY-7" project to slow mode but keep on going a little bit to make way for PEUGEOT concept's time slot.

Grandma back to normal.

Wheww, i'm glad grandma was ok. I went to the hospital and visit her in the ward where she was well treated hospital staff and stayed there for few days, When i spot her she was seating on the bed and having evening dinner in a normal condition just like back to her own self again. The doctor gave her several pills for daily health intake. Beside her bed is my auntie who accompany her throughout the nights to make sure someone by her side if anything happens. I held my grandma hands, it was hot but warm. I held my ID card and show to her to test and see if she can read, notice my photo on it, she can see it clearly and knew who she was looking at...thus this indicate her mind is well focus. She was happy to see me, i'm glad too. I chat and hang around for couple of hours, then before i left for home i gave her a big hug and gave promise that i'll visit her again after work. Thanks to god she is ok. When i stepped outside the the day blessed with clear blue sky, wonderfull ray of sunlights and breezy wind from south sea after numerous raining season since yesterday. Its time to ride my bike and enjoy the world around me!.

Wish my grandma get well soon.

Yesterday my grandma whom is my mom's mother was admitted to the hospital due to high blood pressure and heart problem. She got this symptom of dizziness and frequent vomit as her body weaken. The doctor recommended my grandma to stay in the hospital for few days under doctors monitoring and supervision. My mom and auntie took turn to take care of her at the ward room. She's almost reaching 100 years old. That night i stand beside her and held her hands. It was soft and weak. Looking at her face i can tell she will soon someday will join with my grandpa in a better place far above. But i was hoping that god would keep her stay long enough on earth to witness changes and progress in our family. God bless my grandma and i pray she'll recover soon and get back into the family to experience every wonderful moments with her big family.

Should i redesign my website?

Should i redesign my website? I was thinking of trying to simplified my website user interface to more simple and eye pleasant view. The current one looks crampy and pack with full information. There are 3 website and two of them serve as backup:



I'm planing to remove the footer in the future which take few pixel of vertical space sooner or later. Another alternatice is to make it changeable user interface by applying various themes. Well we'll see how it turns up, right now i have to think about PEUGEOT's design and pull out some new ideas to attract the judges. Think something new, think outside the border.

Another crunchy sunday breakfast.

Flour, a little butter, sugar, water, cooking oil, a wok and good cooking skills. Well no nuggets today. I'm cooking my old favorite falt fried pan cake...my fried cooking style. All ingredients mixed into the bowl, stir it until everthing fully mixed into white slurpy looks, heat up the wok, put an oil the pour some light slurpy ingredients into the deep frying oil in circular motion. Hear it sounds fizzy till the flour turn into golden bake color then flip it again. When its done put it on the plate and continue the next batch. I made around 9 pieces and some surplus goes for fried banana recipe. These simple breakfast enough to skip lunch and fuel me up for afternoon mountain biking rides. Yum! yum!

Can't wait for tomorrow rides, all fixed.

Upon maintenance and checking in notice my first big chain ring on the crank losing 1 out of 44 teeth for drive terrains, while the middle chain ring losing 2 out of 32. I'll need to get crank set replacement by next month. Anyways if i don't shift a lot i should run smooth for tomorrow rides. Me and my mountain biking group will return back to the same place on top of the hill behind the city like last Sunday for downhill course and trails riding. I hope tomorrow blessed with sunny blue sky on the afternoon just like today. Anyways i saved few hundred worth of replacement after fix some broken parts only by extra modification that would last estimated for a year worth riding. Yes!

List to do this afternoon.

Hmmm..preeety busy today. I should do some handy works with heavy tools and metals on my mountain bikes because it need heavy maintenance and parts replacement before tomorrow Sunday afternoon rides. I made some checklist for today timetable:
1. Replace and create new patch of disc brake padding on worn out SHIMANO XT Deore using YAMAHA metallic pads.
2. Tighten loose/shakey hydraulic lever.
3. Tune rear XTR derailure shifting
4. Path leaked 2.2in tubes
5. Clean inner housing cables and LX shifter pods
6. Adjust tension/ROCLOC on my helmets.
7. Adjust clip tension on my SPD
8. Clean the bike
9. Remove mud, dirt and gunk on chain rings, sprockets, cogsets and front shocks
10. Degrease and relube the drive terrains system
11. Tune cyclo computer wheel rpm and radius setting.
12. Restore broken, cuts and leaked tyre with BOSTIK adhesive.
13. Adjust the disc brake lever sensitivity and check for mineral oil brake reservoir
14. Clean my SPD shoes.
What a day to keep my bike and equipment healthy.

More sleep and PEUGEOT

Things going slow today, that's how i felt. My eyes felt dried, my body felt heavy every foot step i took and spinny concentation. I guess i didn't have enough sleep last night.
Yesterday after midnight i slept at 3.00am. I came back home from cycling training at 11.00pm, then took bath and wash my clothes, 12.30am took a heavy dinner, 1.00am finish my dinner and head to my computer working on my models and design contest for PEUGEOT, 2.00am take a break and watch tv, 3.00am feeling drowzy and tired, go to sleep. 5.30am, wakey wakey but in bad shape.....tired and lack of enough sleep. I should spend 3 hours sleep before dinner tonight so that i feel refresh back and enough energy to keep me awake so tha i could work on the PEUGEOT design contest.

New triple stacks rear lights set and exhaust tube.

Hmmm..."SIXTY-7" looking good on its rear design! 2x 3 rows of circulars lensed rear lights and 2x tripezium futuristic tubular exhaust pipe located same way as "NEMIXIS" exhaust pipe position. I just spent easy time doing stuff bits by bits every hours...nothing to rush about. The only thing i need to add on its rear is an extended rear skirting or very know as floor "Air Diffuser" just below the "X" beam to beef up chassis height appearance.

Late wakey wakey.

By the way this morning i suppose to wake up early by 4.30 am to prepare cooking some pan cakes and fried crusty bread so i can bring those food to my work place as my breakfast and lunch. But unfortunately i woke up at 5.20 am just enough time for taking bath, iron clothes and do some 3d work before off to the office.
Next morning i'll be sure to pull my ear and woke up at scheduled time for my home made breakfast.

"SIXTY-7" new rear light placement.

A new design implementation on "SIXTY-7" models. It has been decided that the rear brake, reverse and signal light should be located along the X-beam groove just along the upper shoulder of the chassis structure which almost have similar design to NISSAN 350Z's rear lights except SIXTY-7 have more stretched and closer to center chassis focus light beam. The exhaust muzzle located similar to "NEMIXIS" exhaust port. "SIXTY-7" however have extra two ports for rear hear dumping ventilation which visibly located at the very rear side of the models with distinct small but smooth triangular vent for air to escape after circleling around the the chasis and cockpit.

Last sunday riding down the hills.

Yesterday i was very tired as i get back home after few hard mountain biking rides behind the city hills and trails. Hardly put my butt behind the computer and quickly i doze off to bed that night. Our mountain biking group have made a long trails leading from top top hill to down the foot trails with zig zag style path making it almost dual slalom like riding but really steep and have to many jump, bumps and slippery drifting switchbacks section behind the city hill top. I was on my hardtails bikes which is very hard to handle since i cycle way fast and cut through tricky corner. I crashed a lot because to many unpredictable bumps and pot holes hidden under the thick grass. I tumble 360 twice every loop i whoop on. Good thing i just had a minor bruises and skabs on my arm and legs below knee.
At night i called my good old buddy who own a bike shop in Kuching City far west side of the state for quote for full suspension bike models and price. Last time i sold my Specialized FSR bike to him now i wanna check out if i can get similar models at updated feature for 2006.

Still not enough!..Lunch time with pizza!

Its noon! lunch! lunch! Now this one is much better than nuggets in the morning. PIZZA HUT! Beef, cheese, veges, saucy spreading and crusty pizza layer. Yum! yum! .....uuhhhhffffssss! My stomach full of crappy food. Wonder if i could cycle at full speed after being overweight by fast food.

Sunday anime watch on notebook.

Ok. after that heavy dinner i took out an ACER notebook an watch some anime episodes. I can't watch certain episode on my PC because the graphic card can't render smooth animation frame when the video screen resized, it looks jagged, i told you ASROCK motherboard with intergrated S3 SAVAGE 3D Pro graphic cards sucks big time! good thing this notebook runing on ATI 200M graphics manage to keep the videos looks smooth and wonderfully rendered. Ah,why i pick up ACER laptop....cause DELL notebook battery can burn and kaaappooofff! anytime, now there recalling their Sony made batteries.

The morning nuggets return!

After morning church i went back home...get ready a half full cooking oil on frying pot. Yes again, nuggets in the morning. All 32 pieces munched in just 32 minutes...well approximately like that. Plus nice hot tea to keep me awake. Need lots of crappy ut tasty munchy calories to get extra energy for this afternoon mountain biking activity. You can say i cook nuggets today because i'm too lazy to cook complicated cuisine or go out to a coffee shop and grab some fresh breakfast. .....lllaaaaazzzyyy to cook.

Big Fat Worm for lunch?!

Uhhhhhh, you know what is this served on the lunch plate yesterday (Saturday), one of my grandma favorite dishes. My mom even like it very much, its has to be cooked barbequed and tasted good when smoke. You can smell those chewey fat and it smells like saucey beef stake. But hold your mouth watering flavour dreams, unless you know what's cooking....it really make me wanna shiver when i realised how freaky those food are. It really reminds me of FEAR FACTOR show.
My granda cooked: SAGO WORM...... you know the one looks like a giant fat maggot worm with an astronaut helmet kinda heat that feeds on dead damp sago wood in the swampy sago plantation area. Yeah, they sell it in the wet market. The native love these fat flavored maggot....i'm meant super ultra fat slugs! Its smellled good when they smoked those in the kitchen but when i look at it and mom ask me to try one i like.....aaaahhhhhh!!! noooo noooo...freak show! freak show! i wanna puke! No wonder so many people want to get their hands on that thingy just because they smellled very good and some people even so crazy they ate it fresh live raw. Luckily not one of my family member wanna eat raw fresh live infront of me. I don't want to know much details. I'll stick to fries and decent beef cheese burger please. Today is Sunday!...chicken nuggets!!

SIXTY-7 rear view chassis: test

Mmmmm.... ooohhh.. did i hit the right spot?, previously i playing around with several parts of 3d meshes and stick around behind "SIXTY-7" at strategic points and came out with radical design layout for the chassis rear apperance.
Its way to much for coupe car but it looks really killer looking out look with various vent holes and exhaust ports. So far i haven't finalised which section should i aplly on light brakes, signal lights and reverse light. Comparison to its big brother "NEMIXIS", this one have much flatter rear chassis and high clearance between ground and under carriage between rear wheels. This is really some kick ass ideas!

Early stage: Take a peek at ultimate "SIXTY-7" model design.

Yesterday my primary active partition that holds Windows XP operating system's master boot record corrupted render unbootable, it doesn't take long to reinstall thing back again. 5 hours later its done. Good thing it doesn't effect much of my working material especially project "SIXTY7".
Above on the left image is sample of screenshot of "SIXTY7" chassis design: a short tail sports coupe taken on mid MAY 2006 in early production on old AMD pc render on klunker GeForce2 MX200. It looks like rivalry to Mercedes CLK and Dodge Viper. "SIXTY7" was design to be muscular and feeling like carrying a big block inline 12 engine on the front hood. Something came out from Gotham City. As seen from the picture it share almost same facial characteristic as "NEMIXIS" which is my idea carrying its genetic inheritance foward to its new siblings. This car should be in the James Bond 007 next movie.

Try to grab cool offer on PCI-e system.

Well this morning I called my friend who previously offered to sell his AMD + PCI-e system to me at cheaper price. He was planning to replace his system with Intel Duo Core PC or new AMD AM2. He always keep his system updated to current trend just to keep the game and multimedia at peak and quality satisfactory performance. He got Geforce 7900GT in his hands, which make me, drool and awe in astonishment. Here are the lists of parts he try to sell
CPU: AMD 3000+ 64
Motherboard: ABIT K8N Ultra socket 939 on Nforce 4 with PCI-e with

http://www.abit.com.tw/page/sa/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=KN8+Ultra-SOTES&fMTYPE=Socket%20939

Graphic Card: ALBATRON Geforce 6600 GT

http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/it/vga/specification.asp?pro_id=121#

Total price: USD $205 and below.
I was like doubt and confuse if I should go for it because overall the performance compare to my old AMD system on Geforce 6800GT fell below the my standard performance and test. This spec is just sufficient enough to make stationary unanimated quality rendering. My major concern is how good can it render a ‘running’ vehicle models on 4x4evo2 with settings at shown below:
Anti-aliasing: 8x
Anisotropic: 4x
DirectX: TNL DX8
Resolution: 1024x768
Frame Rate Per-sec (FPS): >> 55fps limit <<

http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html?modelx=33&model1=540&model2=545&chart=197


However other parts such as Memory modules hardisks, case and other PC parts will be used from my previous good old COOLER MASTER PRAETORIAN case. Right now he still on halt whether he should sell it immediately or wait for AMD AM2 system before he could release his current system which is the one he’s going to sell off. I hope he do it fast because somewhere by November 2006 I should ready to release a new 4x4 SUV designs with quality rendering, presentation and driving performance for 4x4 EVO 2 add-on customs.

No Fear!

Last evening me and group of mountain biker went up to the top of 'Canada Hill' in MIRI city scouting for downhill trails and create some long trails for us to explore and use it as a place for us to ride every weekend. We brought some grass and plants clearing tools and shovel to create path for our mountain biking downhilling trails.
As for me i found new spot for me to enjoy and test my guts and fear against 60 degree killer 600 meters longest starcase in MIRI city and also no doubt in Borneo. It was hidden away from public view by crowded wooden house villages and local native settlement way up on the hills. I went down at steep decent through the longest white narrow staircase. Few local kids and old people was startled and mazed with our activity and started to gather some crowds. I manage to clear the area and successfull went down to the last foor of staircase drop on the ground level with no accident. My friend on the other hand crashed badly head first, tore his bike paintjobs and some bruises on his chest because he didn't manage to do left sharp turn at narrow 65 degrees stairs drop. He then decided to walk back up the stairs and phone me through cellphone that he would meet me back to the next downhill point where few mountain bikers will be there to test new downhill track new the PETRONAS MUSEUM at top hills.
I agree and cycle back to that area where i have to cycle way up again. 35 minutes later i rejoin with them and in the background crowd gather and cheers as one of our mountain biker buddy Mr. William manage to jump and slide down the steep suicidal downhill nearly steep angle at 80 degree with 'S' bend at peak drop point. He manage to dive down as smooth as butter. Not many people wanted to do the steep downhill dive so i gave my best suicidal shot on my bike. At first 2 try i skid at the peak and almost crash hit the rock near the curve. Over the curve is deep ravine of no return. Crash there and there's no tomorrow. It was getting dark at 7.00pm. Everyone waiting to next competitors to beat Williams record.
So i lowered my seat, everyone saw i'm ready to make the third attempt to dive in at steep downfill point. I knock my pedals to clear off some dust, clip on and keep on pedal downwards...
At 'S' turn i say my prayer and quickly move my body way behind my saddle. My front wheels drop down damn fast at damn steep angle. Quickly i lock the rear break and make an INITIAL-D drift turn so that the rear wheels navigate the body into a straight line position where i can drop straight down and clear off the path while the speed on my bike maintain at safe level. Then as fast as lightning i duck down and leap above bumpy rocky hills downwards and yes.... i manage to clear the hills with no freak accident. People like cheering and stunned. hhaa..haaa.. yeah. I faced my fear now. Other just like, "what tha"... and wish the could do the same stuff i did but risk getting major accident at drop point.
I push my bike back up the hills again. It was dusty trails. My whole body covered with white powdery dusts from dry soils. My bike all white but looks dirt rugged..cool!. Up there i went over to the cooler box, pop-up some two ice canned "100 plus isotonic" drinks, look back behind me into the city backdrop down the hills behind the thick dense forest in between and said "Damn that was really a sick ride....but one mighty happy day today!"

Nuggets in the morning!

Woke up at 5.15am,
-took bath
-turn on the pc and working on my new 3d models.
-6.25am: Go to church
-8.30am: back from church and arrive home....
Since i'm lazy to cook some reeeeaaaallll heeeaaalllthhhyy wwhhoooolleeesooommeee.. breakfast, I decided to unpack some stuff from the freezer and grab loads of golden unthaw nuggets.
Heaten up some cooking oil and put dozen of nugget till deep fried. Few minutes later it turn into golden hot orange, crispy and yummy. All together there are 29 pieces all for me..bwaahaa haa..
Took out some Thai Chilli sauce, dip my nugget on it and yeahh...mmmmmm!! goood!
Enjoying my nuggets while sitting in front of my PC playing online. What a great time to spent early morning Sunday.

Strange meaningless dream.

Today I got this weird dream I had last night:
I was like running side by side with an opponent with number tag on his T-shirt..kinda like sport event or something, I’m jumping though tyres, climb over the wooden wall, cling over the vines and swing from one end to other end like Tarzan and landed at the foot of the tower . Then run up the stairs chasing my opponent to see who got reach the top first.
On top there’s a rope which link from the top tower to the lower ground with length around 100m. Participants have to glide down like flying squirrel on wire. Upon reaching the ground there’s a bike. I walk over.. it was my orange/grey mountain bike, the instructor then instructed us to cycle back and forth round the local village country side… then suddenly I woke up,….its Saturday - 5.40am. Wheeww…what was that all about.!?

Office: Going down, going up and round and round we go...in the office.

If i'm not mistaken if i start working in the office from 8.00am to 5.00pm i must have been walking around the office at length of 45Km overall per-day alone. Almost daily from Monday to Friday.
I felt like an office boy instead of IT personnel. In a day i just spent 3 hours behind my PC desk and the rest hours walking around doing IT support and services to noobish user. When i arrive at my desk more paper work coming in, phone calls, account admin, e-mail, remote desktop support, some customer crapping some some BS, wiring, network troubleshooting, anything from A to Z..yeah you name it.
Today i almost lost balance on my body, some office staff tell me if i got sick or something because i had a pale face, i almost collapse and began dizzy, i got almost sudden blackout vision at around 2.00pm. My body can't hold on such pressure. I even took heavy breakfast and moderate lunch before that...should have full blown enery till night time...but doesn't work at all.
Whenever i get back to the desk, sit down and look behind me i can see my office colleague within the same MIS/IT department sleeping, relaxing, chatting laughing, surf the net and some play dumb. WTF.. are these guy working or something? How come they have so much free time? Big pay and relaxing? What the hell. If i were in there shoes i would slot those free time with self learning skills on stuff like LINUX and learn how to built my own server on RED HAT. Unlucky for me its hard to dig just a few minutes to take time learning those stuff. My boss previously promised me to put me into LINUX administration position. Few months later he dump me into web design work in the future after meeting i heard from my colleague. This is distrust to employee.
All the employees in the companies under the same building notice that the rest of the staff MIS department have been slacking around and over use the resources because they only saw me running around helping people around the building and outside realtime. Good thing my relationship with outside department so call inter company relationship become more closer and friendlier. My public relation with workers are good especially with bosses and other higher management people. I can see some potential showing up. I felt so happy and plus with tears of joy when i knew some people really care what i have been through and gave support and cheer to me to continue keep up the good work. And yes i did, before i get back home i never left any job undone. Everything must be completed on time.

In the evening, mountain biking and online gaming.

Great day today, just got back home at 8.30pm after heavy mountain biking in SIBUTI district same location as last Sunday trip except much longer and deeper which took us more than 5 hours inside the forest. too bad the camera won't work because the batteries worn out of power.(Damn Energizer Alkaline batteries..). BAck at home tired and dizzy i couldn't concentrate my mind because exhausted and pretty hungry after those heavy rides which cause muscle pain and ache..i grab a banana and nice cold orange drink to regain my strength. Before taking bath, i cool down my body and get myself online playing online games: GUNBOUND (http://gunbound.softnyx.net/) Not really good at it just at noobies level for sake of fun. I didn't realised i played until 11.00pm. Forgot to clean my bike and take a bath to clean my sweaty and dusty body of mine. Then i have to take light dinner and a good sleep because the next day is my usual working days. Lame.

Thursday, today is holidays.

I woke up pretty late today..... 11.00am......tired after yesterday long trip cycling to some deep forest hills for thrillings downhill mountain biking and stuff, we're unluck because struck by bad heavy rain, so we're soaky by midnight. Glad today Thursday is holidays and i did took a good long sleep which hardly have any opportunity to do that every Monday and Friday due to working days. I've made special plans for today.
-Update my website
-Join in online Forum
-Clean the house
-Work on Z-modeler 3d works
-Mountain Biking expedition/exploration later this evening
-Watch anime episodes
I missed my breakfast schedule, look like i have to eat lunch like a king. I'll be blogging much often today.

AGP extinction countdown.

AGP going to extinct soon. Graphic card vendors trying to push the price of AGP based card higher by 15%-30% compare to PCI version of the same model series. It looks like the pc hardware manufacturer pushing PCI-Express market broader and affordable to consumer as demand for performance multimedia and gaming graphic increase, By end of 2006, AGP againts PCI-e value versus performance consideration wasn't favourable to AGP because the bandwith transfer technology via AGP couldn't pump up more quality high data bit transfer to cope up with fast framerate game, not worth money to invest since the processing power reached bottle neck.
I've receive call from our local vendor that couldn't supply me an 'ATI X800 XT' AGP card because available stocks is in PCI-e slot. 'ATI X800 XT' is the only graphic ard with almost equal performance to my previous broken 'Nvidia GeForce 6800GT' agp. I decided to switch to ATI since it has received good review being long lasting "stable" performance and wouldn't cook GPU under hot redundant tempreature. Other alternative instead of choosing X800 series are X1600, X850 and X1800 models on AGP. Others higher grade are on PCI-e. The top models on our local shelf for Nvidia is XFX Geforce 6600GT, the vendor confirm its also available but i would risk my wallet for another Nvidia core unless there's no option.
I just need a graphic card enough good quality rendering with high FSAA and Anistropic quality on my models especially when run a complete compiled 3d models inside the 4x4 EVO2 game scene on 1024x768 screen size with software video capture runing in the background, expect an improve frame rate counter around 56 to 70 fps to generate a smooth scene when running my models around the tracks.

Sunday always been a special day! Epic ride!

Sunday is my favorite day, nobody robs my Sunday and put some crappy schedule in my list. Sunday always been my mountain biking days. Today me and my biking buddies went to a place for away from city that is between BAKAM and SIBUTI district where the place is full of forests and remote country side.
At 2.30pm i load my bikes including my cycling partner bike into my sub compact hatch back car which can fit up to 3 mountain bikes at one time. Few minutes we're off to BAKAM district which takes us another 45 minutes to get there. We arrived at the location and unload our bikes and greet a dozen mountain biker who will be joining us into the forest for epic adventure, oh, there's one female on our group and she's very strong biker. At 3.30pm were depart and went inside the forest and speed down the forest canopy/trees, steer our bikes through tight trails, branches, roots and damp soil. Its was really fast, our bike suspension system (MANITOU + FOX + ROCK SHOX) works well under this terrains. Up and down, tight switchbacks turn, steep dual slalom style downhill and high speed chase through dense bushes and trees beside the river bank. During one of the downhills location one of our cycling buddies didn't succesfully steer the bike on steep 'S' turn downhill...he hit the a tree stump and one of his legs hit a sharp wood object and pierce through his left leg above the ankel and got a deep pinch on the flesh. We take 5 minutes to give him aid and then he was good to go and strong enough to pedals for another few kilometers in to the woods. We started pedal up the hills and down into green bushes with background of beautiful far horizon of hills and valley. The sky was blue and moderate hot, We keep on pedal down at full speed, I was on the 2nd place chasing my friend who own a bicycle shop rides on MERIDA TEAM full suspension who was infront of me. He was to fast tp catch up until i can't see him for another 50 meters...previously he trained on roadbikes. Few minutes later i jump out from the thick bushes and landed on logging trails deep in the forest. We gather around and counting heads to see if anyone missing in action. Joe from Canada rides on SPECIALIZED STUMPJUMPER bike was really pushing hard to keep the pace behind me. He got problem going down the steep hill but he's ok. Sometimes i have to ride as fast as i can because when we ride we compete each other to see who can make it to the finishing spot. So i pedal super fast super furious and push my body weight almost behind the seat to keep the bike load balance and less steering error on the front wheels. The trails have to many soft damp soil, holes, big roots and falling trees on our left and right especially at unexpected corner hidden away from our views. As we rides throughout the trails we can see few animals roaming, turkeys, monkeys, snakes, low flying eagles and weird plants like venus fly trap. Sometimes as we travel deep into the center of the wood the climate changes into very breezy and cold tempreature as we going inside tunnel like trails because the roof heavily sprouted with green fresh leaves, thick tree branches and bamboo which prevent sunlights reaching the ground surface. We spent hours of high speed rides around the forest, at the end of the ride we use the exit trails that lead towards local villages that have access to tarmac road. It was deep and winding road with local wooden and well built house situated beside the small road with dark forest in the background. It took us almost 30 minutes to exit and reach the main road which lead back to the place where we park our cars. Finally we reach our parked cars at final destination, its already almost 7.00pm. Mr Ching pull out a big box of case filled with cold canned drinks (100 PLUS Isotonic drinks). I took 2 cans and glup one go. Refreshing! Cold! I can feel the sweet liquid sugar from Isotonic canned drinks flows into my muscles and neutralized acid lactics that causes sore and tiredness on my body. Immediately i feel recovered from exhaustion. Everyone manage to get back safe on time, we gathered around for a good chat and laugh on stories about our current adventure. I chat with one of the bike shop owner about parts replacement on my bikes and tryout new equipment on peoples bike to test out how it perform. Some of us even like to show off some cool cuts, wounds, flesh bumps and scratches around our body, those forest trees, plants, bugs and rough grounds and savage unforgiven terrains sure put our human body a torture test. Luckily i have none because i know how to manouver my bike around the dangerous trails, accident free..hee..hee...pro riders.By 7.45pm we disassemble our bike and load back into our cars and ready to head back home. Joe mention he'll be going back to Singapore to meet his daughter for a week and another week in MULU districts for team exploration, so i bid farewell and hope to see him next ride next month and race again side by side in the forest next time. Ride on buddy!

Its not the face but the heart.

There's a girl that i like trying to avoid from me somehow last yesterday and today, clearly trying to avoid face to face conversation and getting nearby me. She used to be friendly and i gave her two small stuffy animal gift to cheer her up in the past but somehow thing doesn't always turn out right. Was she having stress at work or simply i'm not her type? Maybe i look like crap this week. Or maybe i was meant for her. Anyways i should improve myself and work hard in short period if i would like to have a very special friend.
Oh, speaking of friend for the past few months especially after my birthday, my department colleague behaviour seems to be very suspicious and try to avoid something from me. They seem to be silent and talk 'things' behind me. I don't know what was going on. It happens when i'm busy concentrating my work for the whole month improving my goal and vision but they look disapproval about my doings. Relationships are tension because both sides misunderstood what i have been through the whole month. Work preasure, stress, money management, part time work for extra side income, learning new things and stuff keep me busy whole day which turn me into weirdo, they think my life is easy going, i guess they don't know much about life being adult. Sometimes it made me think that my current job position as technical support sounds too low profile which create gap of relationship againts engineers, programmers and the IT management...It looks like my Degree Certificates with years of programming and network learning gone wasted. The workload also way to heavy for such low profile job and very risky since PR (public relation) and dirty hand labour on tech works compared to diploma holders on keyboards. There's is only one person i respect the most in MIS dept.... he work very hard both during the day and at night, no shame doing low profile works even treated bad for his low wage work but he knew to survive he have to do it for a better future. He remains humble even receive critics from his own colleague. When i look at him i smile and happy that someone share the same fate for a better life. God bless this guy.
Anyways i felt lucky this month, good thing this month i don't have any big projects going on so i get on with normal life except my office colleague. I made few profit but everthing use to pay for insurance and loan spending especially my two cars and personal house in KUCHING city. I'm now waiting for the final batch payment which i'll be using as personal expenditure, so far i haven't receive any feedback from the bank if they did receive the final deposits into my bank account. My client confirm they have sent over to my bank as acknowledged by their mail agents....i'm getting worried. I'm now counting days for it.
I remember i made promises to a girl colleague about treat her for buffet after project completion (the one who receive Teddy Bear for birthday), but after thinking twice about their discriminative behaviour i decided to take back my promises and better spend my money wise on usefull things like fixing my bike.

Once upon a time at my grandma's hometown.

Every Christmas me and my family return to my hometown in LIMBANG district - in Borneo SARAWAK state located near Brunei border for Christmas celebration and reunion. My grandmother live along with my cousins, with her house located remotely far away for urban hustle and bustle of city life. Where my grandma live is a peacefull green country side with borderless backdrops of mountain, green hills, breezy forest and blue sky. Her house surrounded with trees which bear exotics fruits: coconuts, lychees, durians, mangosteen, lime, rambutan, mangoes and black pepper. Usually i stay there for a week, good thing the cellphone reception is strong enough to receive communication signal, my main source for internet connectivity over there is via GPRS services on my Nokia NGAGE. Whenever i'm staying at my grandma house i felt total freedom, no car honking, no sounds of machines, no black smogs, polution, no crowds of people, no airplanes and no paperwork behind the desk in the office....its total freedom. All around me is just green lushes of trees, vegetation, breezy blowing winds on top of the hills and true blue sky with white columbus clouds at 12 noons. At midnight i sleep endure dropping cold tempreature around 18-16 degree celcius, by morning at 6.00am you'll feel refresh and greeted with damp cold fog refreshing every corner of the dense forest and the bird chrips sounds make's you feel at home and ease.
In the morning i woke up early went to have cold bath and get ready for Church's Christmas prayer which is a few walks a way from local church. Then later went back home for heavy breakfast, my gandma always serve us with naturally made pies and cake made from potatoes, bananas and also include durian cakes. Other include fried bananas, hot fried jackfruit dumplings serve with hot coffee and tea. She doesn't need to pull out a single cents to buy all these stuff because mother nature provide all the just behind her house...pluck it and ready to serve. In the cities you'll have to spit out some moneys just for little decent breakfast..but over here it all natural non-artificial buffet good for health. As usual i eat like kings. Before noon i usually follow my father to stroll around the village and meet peoples, local markets, climb on a boat, explore the forest. The peoples are very friendly, they even help you in any sort of difficulties like together building a broken bridges, build place for worship, make roads, help hitchikers, tow you cars and also exchanges foods. Even the public bus drivers know how to joke around and help their passenger in out of the bus aournd the village. This culture have long forgotten practice in the big cities and i'm glad outside the concrete jungle there's someone really cares about polite social life. It made me realised how sucks to be in the big city where material gain comes first and friendship located at the bottom of the social pyramids. You can easily distinguished between friendship and friendshit when you're in an urban culture especially in big fast developed cities. Ok let's get back to my gandma place.
By 12.00 noon, all family would gather around for a good delicious lunch, what so special about lunch? All served with fresh meat, fishes, sauces, fried chicken and cocnut drinks. You can taste the difference between the food bought from the big cities and the food brought up from local market and backyards. Taste like heaven!. Sometimes 3 of my grandma cats would sit beside us and having lunch on separate dishes. Good thing the cats are well trained and discipline when it comes to table manners. Cats over here is not skinny nor fat because they have lots of space to explore around the country side,,backyard full of dense forest trees and like to run around which makes them healthy and fit....plus lower maintenace because they can find their own food and eat fresh fruits and fish, their fur always soft and well maintained...they know how to swim too. Sometime i'm very lucky to see those cats jumping from one branches to another chasing squrriels/marsupial animal up on the tree early cold morning, they looked enjoyed. You won't see typical anywhere in the cities. There's few reason why we love cats, because they did good job to secure and protect my grandma house not only from rodents but pesky spiders, scorpions, snakes and any harmfull lliving things that crept into the house from the forest. They also the ones protect me when i'm sleeping througout the nights protecting me from creepy crawlies by watching me and stand on guard beside me until i wake the next morning. The dogs helps to watchout for big animal like buffalos or wild animals. Buglars? nah,,everyone around here are nice people. Seldom hit by buglars even in 5 years. True peaceful village. There's no gates, fences or anything to protect the property including 4 cars below the house. Pure peace!

On afternoon me and my father and mother would continue travel from point to points around the country side to look over our land that was belong to the family inheritence to check if our few hectars of our land intruded by other people or any illegal activity on top of our land. Later then we visit another of our family member from my father and mother side. For your information both my mom and dad grandparent and cousins are lived on a same concentrated area, which make its easy to visit our relative nearby. Sometimes i would pull out my bike and cycle in the forest and check out cools trails and hills. Good thing i was born as a mountain biker who love to try out new adventurous trails. In the evening we gather as usual and have dinner with our kitchen windows wide open looking at a birght stars at night plus BBQ chicken and beef. The kids gathers at the living room to watch tv. After dinner i usually stay at the kitchen observing my grandma baking cakes and make a rice covered banana leave dumpling mix with coconut milk and barbequed it on the stove for tomorrow breakfast. For me its a great learing experience on how to make my own home made granma recipe when i return back home soon. Before midnight at 10.00pm i would pull out my portable computers or my NGAGE QD, turn on the GPRS services and checkout my websites, forum and mails just to keep up with the latest news and updates. Grandma cats always walk around me and stood by to watch me busy on the screen. As midnight falls the elders still chatting around with relative at night enjoying drinks, puddings, cakes and hang around for good ol-times stories until its almost day break....its typical way to celebrate Christmas over here.

On the second day we usually return home back to the city...the materialistic civilization. Its a long trip. The scenery outside the card windows slowly turn from fresh green and blue sky to dull concrete silver white and dusky sky of the urban nation. Return back to the wasteland where humans are part of the corrupt system and where money rules. That reminds me when i stay at grandma's country side i only spend $5 a week compare to urban life for $200. Its really make sense now when the god says, "Leave all your treasure on earth and don't worry and think about what you should have"...mother nature provide all neccessity needed. Anyways if i'm rich and wealthy i'll return back to this green country side, make a small decent house on top of the hills and enjoy peaceful life where i can enjoy the wind and the peace under the blue sky.

Next!.....Conquer the highest peak.

Here is a memorable snapshots of me cycling on my mountain bike deep in borneo forest climbing on steep rocky trails leading way up above sea level early in the morning at 10am in BINTULU district... that was 8 years ago. The bike i was riding 8 years ago was GT Avalanche 2.0 on Rock Shock XC and full LX groupset system. Now i'm waiting my chances to return back to the same spot to ride on my bike way up to the top of the highest peak in that forest, this time with new improve mountain biking technology (FASTRAX bike, MANITOU suspension and XT/XTR groupset) plus my aging body. Me and my cycling buddy looking foward for a long holidays trip to spend most of our adventure touring around borneo island. This year i have keep some of my holidays up to 11 days of annual leave balance as permitted by my company this coming months. I'm planning to use up the my budget i acquire from my last 3d project to spent on upgrading my bikes, replace worn out bike accessories, air tickets and the trip expenditure on my next holiday leave. I hope this is going to be best adventure into the exotic forest of borneo. Mountain Biking rocks!

Relaxing evening.

What a tiring day, today i'm runing a two day presentation in the conference room for all sub company IT user...its all about MIS user management and stuff. By evening i came back home at 6.00pm and doze for few minutes on the bed for a short nap before taking bath. Dinner at 9.00 pm and 30 minutes later enjoy some anime video collection i bought few months ago. I'm in the mood for action pack anime so i watched MEZZO DSA. Good story line Femme Nikita alike action. All 13 episode to keep me entertain this evening before wake up the next day and work my butt off behind the desk.

Show some respect, not cheap labour.

I was offered to help my friend to fix his broken server and reinstall back all the ASP functionality, scripting function and redesign the web interface again at special pay rate. My expectation to receive around few hundred. But at the end of the day he try pull things off with a small price to pay for such profitable rate of return website when the setup is completed. Doubt with my friend offer i decided to stall the work to see how much desperate he wants his web server to run. A week later i asked how much he would expect to pay me for such server setup services, He said: "USD$35 to get the server runing back and ASP interface funtional for e-Business based website" ...so I purposely said, "Nah i don't have time for that job". so i bla, bla and bla..actually i hate when people pay such small amount for the expertise a person gain and experience to provide services on such task. Looking down at person's working skills and experience is a bad move, anyone who do that to me really going to get it in the face. So i walk off and leave the web service behind..see if he can fix it himself. Show some respect to skilled worker.

Looks who's up in the morning.

Looks who's coming to greet me in the morning, its the backdoor cat. Every morning i spot her in the corner behind my house sleeping all night till morning hiding away from other cats. Actually this cat doen't have any owner but she is welcome to come around the house for a good stay. She like to approach me when i'm put out some clothes for drying. She'll sit there and stare at me with small cute "meow" telling me how's my day. Its doesn't ask for food but the way it stare at me wishes to tell me some usefull message. For me they always bring me good luck. Yes, indeed i have a wonderful evening exploring the forest on my bike praised with good sky blue weather..while some other part of the district quite hazy.

Seeking a special friend under one roof.

Saturday, my life as an MIS (Management Information Technology) personnel have been very interesting everyday. Unlike other staff at my department my job is to walk around and support people, you can almost call me the people guy who have to meet various people and consult their need on computer related problem. This is good. Unlike last year i have to sit behind the desk remain seated boring infront of the computer, i almost have both power and control to the MIS because of authority to access various critical resources which is indeed compulsory to support people in the company. So my nature of work is extra special, plus i get to meet lots of people both lower and top management including high ranking bosses.
Well today the relation between me and other company and various department become more and more closer each day. Usually i always have to meet lots of girls/ladies to support on their computer system. Majority of the worker in the company run by female so i get to see lots variety female working around the clock. Some friendly, cheerful and few considered awkward and doubtfull when approach to them. Almost 50% have married status while other poking around with grumpy face for being single. I've been single for many years but so far didn't have any feeling for being lonely because i haven't experience anything like that. Maybe i think its time for me to look for a very special friends...a girlfriend to share out feeling and experience happiness.
There lots of female always greet me with a smile and cheerful expression everytime i come to their place or just stumble by to say hello. But only few match my type: Long straight hair, no funky color hair dye, taller than me, very mature voice, physically slender and pleasant to talk around. In a place where i work there's are 3 floor. There are girls that i'm really interested in; 2 located on 2nd floor (secretary dept + **ip**** dept), 2 located at 1st floor (secretary dept + ppk)and 1 located and ground (front) floor except this one is very special, she is passive in term of attidude similar to my past favorite close schoolmate. Usually when i approach to them i don't talk a lot to them because of shy factor, sometimes doubt if she still vacant or been taken by other boyfriend. I also tried to get their birthday date so i can just gift them a special gift to cheer them up but not force into anything..just like to see them smile and happy face is enough to make me feel more happier even if i don't have chances to be with her. Usually for female gave them stuffy animals or something to cuddle on, something usefull and soft enough for everyday use. A perfect gift for female at first start.
Its very hard for me to make my first move on her because i'm not even taught by anyone how to, usually i do get good advice from the Madams who work in the same building for tips and help...but that doesn't sound manly. Hope to get one interesting girls/ladies before next valentine day so i have someone to share my happiness and experience.

Sweet memory lane.

When ever i looks at my old creation 'XCALIBUR CD4.0 XS-XL' it reminds me of an old TAMIYA Radio Control models that i always wanted to have when i was 12 years old. My enthusiasm for R/C models triggered when my uncle show off some of his cool R/C models collection, he got tonnes of it and i remember he gave me a DAYTONA R/C models run on electric..that was enough to make me happy. But still i like buggy and suspension tech off-roaders but still they are way to expensive to buy and maintain. Thats why few year ago i came up with 'XCALIBUR'designs built inside modeler program and ported into 4x4EVO game as add-on just to spark my good old sweet memories of the past. In 2006 this models still looks sweet and really catchy in every racing game. I feel very proud because i wouldn't need to look further to grab one in the real world. With just 3d tools and texture program i could make myself a models of my dream. Just like a lego brick: New toys everyday.

Zzzz..zzz...zzzz

Its a very long day today, felt that this day will have no end, no dusk no dawn. My head spinning around in exhaustion and felt almost asleep in the car. 30 min later as we speak i'll be going to bed to refresh my body and relax for the day. I hug my pillow tight and dream all the way. lol

New moded PC

Oppss, looks like i've been out of the picture for two days. Well i'm back, actually previously my computer went down badly and i decided to reformat the whole hardisk....which explain why i haven't logged on to the internet. And then i decided to install both OS on seperate hardisk: HD1= Windows XP, HD2=LINUX SUSE 10.0. At the same time i pick up my ASROCK motherboard junker and put it into a new plastics housing (which was previously a paper tray) to make i look like compact portable pc. Neat eh? Well its a bit too small and less storage devices minus drive bay. What makes it a bit bulky is the PSU. Wish i could find a 450W PSU small enough to snug into small corner and save up some space to fit the whole system in a break fast cereal box. Anyways i'm satisfied and the custom mod mini pc aim for portability. Finally i can move around my mini pc around the house with cool tools to work on my models good thing these can fit on my back packer back with LCD and mini keyboard and other IO devices.

Happy cute girl gamer.

Today i made a girl happy because i promised her to share some of my old Super nintendo game (SNES) titled HARVEST MOON and made run it into her mobile phone via emulator. I helped her to install a SNES emulator and put my dumped file rom into her Nokia 6600 phone. She was excited and happy...she was super cute girl too who works at secretary department. Before that she was bored alone during lunch hours and all she could do is just put her head on the keyboard on take a short nap before next office hours start, so i approached to her and share some cool computer stuff, she said she is interested in gaming and so that's where our same interest started to bloom. She's an avid online gamer mostly on RPG (Role Playing Game). I'm surprise there's a girl gamer at my work place which rarely seen one in the crowd of kitchen utensils minds. I was hoping she could keep her hair long because she looks good with it.

The wind and the rain.

Its very gloomy and wet seasons in MIRI city where i live. Now its been almost a week the rain and cold weather befall into my city. For me its a good thing for it to rain at night to spice up my sleeping mood but it bring bad news during the day since it interfere my outdoor activity. Last night i came back home at nearly 12.00am midnight from mountain biking expedition....soaky, muddy and cold wet...and late. Me and my buddy have to face strong wind coming from the nearby sea which we could feel the wind speed pound us around 40-50km/h..very strong which started to at around 9.00pm, slow our cycling speed to struggling 17km/h head-to-head with the wind. 5 minutes later heavy strong rains hit us hard. Good thing we have our headlights and rear light flash the pitch black surrounding the trails so we could see through thick rainfall ahead and made safetly home hours later. Cold and battered but yet felt thrilled and proud that we made through some rough journey on our human powered two wheelers.

S3 Pro Savage DDR...bad GPU.

I've manage to get the S3 Pro Savage DDR display driver install properly on my PC but the 3d rendering and display is not at satisfactory level when it comes to wireframe viewing....not smooth and doesn't displayed any object in certain view port (missing object display on top right side view port). S3 Pro Savage DDR (which comes built-in on ASROCK mobo) may not be suitable for heavy 3d works but for now it did just enough good job making low poly models for my track object while waiting for my new 3D graphic card on ATI gpu. I lack trust on Nvidia after reading review on their gpu which easily toasted on normal used even at non Over Clock status. Ditch the green logo and turn into Red cube.

Another scary dream.

I had a dream. I was walking side by side with someone beside the beach, the wave was calm and we were by pass a huge caved vertical rock formation which already carved into a living quarters for cave men but stood in the middle of the sea. It was at dusk time when the sun almost engulf by the horizon backdrop. In the cave there was a man made wooden stair case. Then suddenly a person ran down the stair in terrified expression and moving out from the cave and jump into the sea to swim back to shore. Not far distance a small translucent white pale figure at size of a child hover meters above the stairs went down and follow the terrified guy. Everyone at the beach who watch from the distance were shocked and ran away from thata area including me as we realised that floating entity was not a living thing but instead things from haunted cave. Days getting darker everyone run back to their car, some took shelter in the villa while i was trying to run and find someone to accompany me, then more of this thing pop-out out of nowhere spooking the public in chaotic scene. I was hiding behind the wooden dustbin and poof!.....i awake! gosh it was a dream.... a rare one. Looking at my Nokia Ngage screen.. 5.29am 8 August 2006. Have to be cautions.

The scene and aparation reminds me of these game i played on playstation 1: Echo Night. Check it out at game spot:

Freaky huh...I hope i don't have to go in there again.

Understanding my old designs.

Sometimes i misjudge how people feel towards every car/trucks models i designs. Their taste, style, feel, and preferences differ differently from other people. Usually i tends to make newer models just to keep up and spice up the design to tailor ones taste but sometimes it the other way around over time. For example i didn't expect my old models "EXODUS CD 9.0 XL-SRS" rated top choice among mod/gaming fans, instead my expectation is on 2005 "CYBORX CD 10.0 XL-GT" last year. Logically taste and design preferences in the mind of public much more influenced by its surrounding changes and trends. Looking closely at "EXODUS" it resembles ever popular facelift and shape of an import tuner with street gangster racer attitude. Skylines, EVOs, 350z and 180sx genes almost resemvbles "EXODUS" which make it much famous than any other car pop-up on he internet. For me its was design to test out how far can the car evolve into other mature design but i ended up putting it way above the sky than other evolved models. SRS rocks!

Strange dream.

Last night i had a strange dream, everyone around me in the public gone naked, couples running along holding hands in the nude and pee at each other at their own feet in full enthusiastic and show fondness. What the? As if the world come to a point where adam and eve return back to the time where relationships and happiness is more than material gains. I still don't get whats the meaning having such absurb dream. Usually i hardly remember any thing that i dreamed and tends to forget how to describe the scenes but this one is different and i can remember everthing clearly. People says dream equivalent to a person prophecy.....hmmm....

Fine day outdoors....it was ggggrrrrreeeaaatt!

Saturday and Sunday are my golden days, well since i don't have proper 3d graphic card to play around on my computer i decided take a two days off starting yesterday enjoying outdoor sports...as usual: mountain biking. The day was blessed with sunshine and blue sky and by night especially this Sunday evening the moon shone the dark land into brighly pale blue romantic scenery as me and my friend cycle back to our home along the coastal seaside. The cotton grass wave as the windy breeze from the seaside blew behind us. Ahhh.... so cooling and refreshing. Our two days cycling trip was a blast and memorable adventure. We travel from one end of the district to the other end of the border crossing through various villages, roads, trails, forest and beaches. I reached home at 10.30pm just few minutes ago after i type this blog as we speak. Tonite i'm taking my bath, having nice dinner and do some LINUX tryout on SUSE package. As for 3d card Geforce 6800GT reviving task was a failure, i decided to pick ATI products by next month since their graphic hardware much more tougher and lasts longer than my current ones. Looking foward to stretch my hands on 3d modelling task soon.

A hope?....Saving my 6800GT.

Right now i haven't give up hope reviving my only favorite graphic card which fail to function weeks ago. I've been checking various resources on the net about troubleshooting my only AGP type graphic card: Geforce 6800GT. I found probably it could have been under power or cooling problem but i'm going to try it out now. During start up it did show some signal except the weird artifacts and vertical color distortion. Could almost see a text error displayed along of a bit of pixelated blue background. I slot the card on my ASROCK P4 motherboard which have built-in AGP graphic card: S3 Savage DDR Pro which run as primary to aid the secondary slotted Geforce 6800Gt card when enter in diagnose mode. Which me luck.

Clean up time and job well done.

I hate useless stuff lying around on my table whether its at my home or at my workplace, yesterday i took my time tidy up my own work desk in my office dept, not that messy but really need extra super tidy up. All useless papers, KIV ones and also some old documents shredded to pieces and throw into trash can. If not it's kinda headache if you see stuff bundle pile up as if i haven't finish up my work. Yesterday i took my time finish up my work without leaving any left over task for tomorrow which i took overtime by one hours than my usual end work time. I don't like to delays or left the job to continue for tomorrow because i have lots of thing to settle and staff appointment on the next day. Sometimes i force to do something out of my work description which is really bad and unsuitable/over the edge job and the problem is Asian labour law kinda loose around here, it just like a beautiful magazine cover with bleak contents should i say. But anyways its good thing i finish up everything my job well done for the day without delays so that i wouldn't have any headache to carry on the next job at night.

My Guardian Angels.

I always wake up pretty late than scheduled. Sometimes my alarm clock couldn’t shake me up. Nothing can pull me out from the bed when I’m under unconscious mode except this soft voice……..”David, wake up!” I was like shock and wake up to see who was that, looking at the time watch its exactly 5.30am, the exact time I should have wake up. Now this voice where does it come from?

This is not the first time but it happens almost everyday as if there was a person beside me, a companion, care taker, a guardian angel taking care of me throughout my life. I felt its presence ever since I was a small kid, I am an adventurous person who likes to travel alone, explore alone and seeking thrills alone without anyone to watch over me and take care of me when I’m in trouble. My mom always pray for my safety and she is very religious person, at onetime she prayed until the Rosary beads turn from dull color to bright blue bead when she travel to the Holy City in France, she prayed in special church. I’m on the other hand didn’t pray as much passion as my mother but I always believe God, His Son and The Holy Spirit in the Heaven. So about this thing that keep watch over me, I always felt that he or she always be with me in pain and suffering. My habit always travels to unknown places or sometimes let say adventuring deep into the forest alone. I don’t felt much scared when discover something that is never experience by me because I felt there is someone who as if a very long friend of mine who are virtually accompany me and guard me through my journey. Sometimes I heard a deep lowly voice warn me not to go…usually we call these symptoms as INSTINCT or inner self-conscious but for me its My Angel that speaks.

There a lot of incident which indicates that angels/invisible guardians existence prove real to me. There’s one particular incident where my car been broke in by thieves as stated in my previous blog record, before it happen I did bring some lots of valuable expensive portable devices which I plan to leave it in the car. I almost left it in but an inner voice strongly persuade me, “No, don’t leave your things behind, take them with you”. So I turned around back nto my car and grab my stuff and head to the Church for Sunday prayer. Later after the mass I went back into my car and shocked, the thieve broke-in but luckily I didn’t left any valuables…its inside my pocket thanks to angelic inner voice.

There are times when I travel to alone into deep remote forest when suddenly a deep inner voice voice telling me: “Don’t go there!”. So I halt my steps and turn back around until one day a friend of mine tell me that the forest that I was about to go full of spooky and dirty things…glad I was save by this mysterious voice…was it instincts or six sense? As you know I ride mountain bike a lot and cycle to various unknown path and trails. The decision of choosing the right path, trails/road not only based on rational thinking but based on 95% trust on my inner instinct and voices that warn me, guide me and lead me to the safest path. Sometimes this angel guardian voices speaks in my head saying, “Over there, go up and enjoy the beautiful view” ..i followed and did manage to get a good spot up the hill to enjoy beautiful scenic view of the city never been there by any local public.

His/her presence make me feel safe. That’s why I dare to go places and try out something new because someone will look over me and protect me as long I believe in him/her. I also always encounter serious accident which cause almost my life numerous of time but when it hit me I woke up and look around me, I’m in one piece! Bike accident happens the most. When I’m lost in a big places or remote area there are always voices in me to guide me out to safety. Ever since then almost every day when I’m in trouble I always seek advice from the voices that comes in inner me.

A priest used to say to me when I was small. “As long you believe in Him, the Angels, the Holy spirits from the Heaven above will look over you and protect you”. Now I’m happy, I’m not alone.

Burn..burn the calories!

The ladies at the office gave me numerous snacks for me to eat plus some cakes. I ate all of them until i realised it contain too much fat and calories. So later that evening at 5.30pm i went back home and went out again for outdoor adventure on my mountain bike. So i pedals as hard and as far as i can until the muscles suck up all those fat and excessive calories burned it into energy. I pedal back as far distance to the same place near the "BRUNEI" border and "U" turn back again towards "LAMBIR National Park" half way through located at the outskirt of 'MIRI' city. It took me 2 hours to complete the loop until at 8.00pm the day becomes darker and cloudy...later it started to rain. I push myself to the max, reached home with slightly wet on overall my body and equipment. Looking into my cyclo computer i have traveled 157.95km in just 2 days of rides which is on last Sunday trip and today. Cool!

Packs of custom design wheelsets.

These wheelsets are surplus from my previous contract project, will be made available for free to the public, race sims and 3d mods community soon. Low poly 3d construction ideal for those who wants speedy performance for their vechicle models run smooth on any simulation race track and off-roading, it looks very details too. Wheels models varieties ranging from street, off-roads and monsters. I'm planing to put these package to be separated and scattered around embedded in my upcoming custom track project called Whirl Wind 2 (revival of WW1 series). The pack will be hidden random location inside track area as a treasure item. So players have to drive their vehicle to various location as their main treasure hunting activity finding clues to where about the treasure are. Before that i have to work out the track design, object models, environment and etc to make things happens. Not only wheels to be buried in as treasure...some special vechiles too.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

Ya i do feel like one today. I woke up in the morning, grab a tooth paste, a brush and started to brush my teeth. As i looked up into the mirror i was shocked to see my nose swollen red. WTF?! An acne below the skin at the tip of my nose swollen and buldge shiny like Santa's Rudolph the red nose flying reindeer. Wrong timing, i have to bear with it as i have to pop-up to work and showing my swollen nose to the public. Hey look, binky the clown! Ha ha.. what a day. I guess maybe my facial skin dried and hot during asleep which developed such swollen acne and stuff. The good news is it shows my skins is healthy and hormone keep on growing active. Hmm..good sign indeed.
