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. ...

Screaming Generation!!!! Latest GTR!!

Alright lets put a real screammer on the road. Fire them up and let the competitor bites the dust! Its been more then a year now its time to revamp some radical monster out of the box. Good news is i'm having a three day break/holidays enough to finalised all my work on 3d models. Bigger burlier wheels! big wings! low rider and muscular looks! Watch out Ford GT-40! Here comes your rival!! Codename: GTR

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???!

Hey! looks like a good month.

Hi people! long time no see...actually i forgot to update my blog which suppose to be daily. Too bad all this month got tonnes of assignment and stuff which keeps me busy. C'mon this is career man on the move. Ya ya few stuff i've been put behind my back which is....but yet i'm eagerly wanna start stepping my feet in it again:

2. 3d modelling
3. Graphics design
4. Play games.

The only stuff i'm still doing it daily is mountain biking! YEah! can't leave that behind...its life... part of my vital life! no bikes no life as simple as that.ha ha ha.. Recently my wallet become much lighter these days no thanks to broken disc brakes: "XT Deore" malfunction so i dig out my budget for new disc brake for my mountain bike..yeah! top range "Shimano XTR", Price?..i could have bought PLAYSTATION 3!...bummer. My bikes still a bigger priority!


So what have i've been doing these days?

Have you guys recently visit our forum yet for latest updates?

NEMIXIS in Track Mania scene - thanks to Starbuck.

I've just downloaded high quality video clip from FloTM yesterday and was totally blown away with the HDTV quality video clip of NEMIXIS speeding around TRACK MANIA UNITED track. And so i drooled over the screen. As i'm an 4x4evo2 based 3d modeller i was totally felt i'm way few year backwards interm of graphics technology comparison to Track Mania. My buddy Starbuck from http://starbuck-zone.info haved put my models to a worthy gaming platform which made my models stood up among the rest. I was happy and thrilled to see how much my models can shine in new graphic engine gaming of today vs 4x4evo2 which is now almost 7 year old relic platform.







After watching this clip i felt i have this positive feeling wanna shift my 3d work on Z-modeler for more updated game like TM. Oowwwww!! speaking of 3d models i haven't put my 100% effort on my SIXTY-7 project. Dang! my car kinda rusty every minutes that passes by.

Here is a video clip of NEMIXIS in Track Mania United by FloTM.
http://starbuck.sk8network.fr/xcs/nemixis_united_generation.avi

Here is the website well known for his help on conversion work. He helped me convert all my 4x4evo2 models to Track Mania format.
http://starbuck-zone.info

For other info just get into our local forum and discuss about this topic, were always online 24/7

OMG! Its July!

Wut!? its July! what am i doing! I've missed lots of goodies again! Wut goodies? : TM track mania, Anime, 4x4evo2, Z-modeler, Flight Simulator, Ngage Gaming...at lists goes on.

Like a brick fall on top of my shoulder.

Hi there! ok thing pretty slow around here, you guess it every day my schedule clogged with to many carreer related task and daily house chores. Sometimes i even forgot to check my e-mail that many modelers, modders, converter and fans asking for models and stuff for their gamming needs. Ouch! sometimes good opportunity just fly by without notice. Actually for adults like me middle of the year means 'i gotta work hard' to bring food to the tables and clear off the bills like insurance, tax, loans, rental and some medical stuff to clear off. Not mentioning thing i have to support my little brother University expenditure. Man! life as an adult is one tough life and its pain in the butt. Few weeks ago i just got a package of TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED game, guess what i just played only 1 hour and later left to dust for weeks. I wanna hold those joystick but eeerrgghhhh!! arrggggghhhh!!... my back tied to huge bucket of clients project, web designs, pc maintenance and some partime jobs. I really hate my partime job at night. Thinking maybe next month i wanna stop doing those partime PC job thingy and do some real constructive work that brings more profit and fame.. ahhh!! I got 3 more web project for clients to go before i lay off and hit the 3D modeler programs.
Oh ya! i just released a special CUSTOM MADE DODGE RAM - SPECIAL EDITION weeks ago at our local forum at my website so do check them out. Those are made low poly lightwieght polygon good for online playing and low spec PC. Well i think release those models atleast could keep the fans busy before the get bored with old newspaper again. Lol.

When you look up you see white blue heaven.

I've been out riding my bike much more frequent than any other month, reason? "Its the Sky!"...its all about the sky. Random formation of white clouds and pure blue sky catches my heart. Looking at the sky bring calm and peace to my heart....gives harmony feeling and inspiration to those who know how to experienced the existance of their surroundings. The best hours to view it is between 2.30pm and 6.30pm.
On every Sunday this month i went out early for biking activity into the country side. Everytime i ride i always gaze up into the sky looking at the clouds and how they form themselves againts the pure blue sky,... the wind blew breezy and the sunlights are pure white illuminate the white clouds. If you're lucky you can see it glows like heaven's sky fortress made by God above.
As the wind blew further they form various trails of cloud formation as if its like Living Art in the sky....form into sharpe of birds,dog, cats, fishes, hards, trees, flower, big ship, Noah Ark like object and etc. Sometimes i wonder if those white clouds are clumps of living souls flew together in bunch up in the sky wonders the earth looking down on us....ah! that only my theoretocal guess,lol.
By dusk the blue turn into orange with linear mix of violet pink color,...almost fantasy like sky as the sun sets behind the sea. A beautiful sights to behold. By then its 6.40pm, i head back home.
Sometimes i felt like i'm the most lucky people to be able to roam around outside the city and enjoy the outdoors witnessing gods hidden creation and beauty that can only be seen in places where no mans whishes to be there.

26th May, Birthday!

Today is my very special day, yes my birthday! (26th May). I was greeted very early from a girl via SMS messaging in my phone exactly midnight, I'm was glad and lucky to have somebody reminded me about my special day. Saturday at my workplace i received dozen of chocolate and also received cute stuffed animal mostly from the ladies. They knew i like chocolate since it was my favorite munchies, most importantly its CADBURY brand my fav! The stuffy animal was cute too. A black piggy beg from a special girl with cute greetings cards custom made by hands and hand drawn greetings picture. I can see they really avid about the event and i'm really appreciate and happy to share this happy day.

Usually i don't really care much about my birthday celebration, for the past years i have ignored or let just day passes by... that i always forgot.. you can say that on every 26th May its always just like any other normal day, nothing much special. I always ignore any special day that relates to mem which doesn't bother me much...maybe it too much work to celebrate an occasion..hmmmm,,,

Except for today that is in this year of 2007, maybe its worth a while to remind myself that i'm not alone in this world..someone wants me to be happy and knew i exist. I should thanks to the ladies that life is worth living and keep on the track. Anyways i have to sign off and unwraps those chocolates...i'm hungry! yum! yum!

Happy Mothers day!

Its Mothers day today, a day we must remember how hard and how passionate our mom take care of us regardless countless of effort, expenses and hardship she went through. I manage to bought her some light gift, some kitchen stuff and cozy slippers for her to walk around the house. A gift usefull and enough to give her comfort, also it means that i really care for her. After hand over the gift i greeted "Happy mother day" gave her a huge hug and kiss on her cheek. She was happy, i can see through her eyes that its not all about the gift, what matters her the most is how her children feel and appreciate her sacrifices for the love of her children.
Infact i really respected and glad to have such mother who brings miracle when her children in trouble,..seriously...i mean miracle...god really blessed my mom and she cure her children with miracles, what to know more? I guess i'll tell you some more on my next post maybe next week. Till then i wishes all wonderful mothers around the world especially to my mom a very very "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY". Without you we wouldn't be here. Thank you mom.

Whooopss!!..updates!..long time no see.

Hi there!, woah! its been a while i haven't been here telling you some updates and what's going on around the 4x4evo and the 3d modelling community. Sorry i haven't been updating my blog much frequent like i used to back then. Things going pretty slow lately. In fact I was busy day and night with bundles of work in the adult world, in the office, outside labour work and some part time jobs to feed the family. This month I was lucky to get some opportunity to get more income coming into the house. The IT (Information Technology) business and work does add up to my experience library behind my head…other include website designs, advertisement graphics, photo shooting session and scouting for new mountain biking trails behind wild borneo forest….was good enough to pay the household bills. Tired but hey got cash can do! Everytime I got home I always doze immediately on the sofa without knowing I should’ve taken bath and dinner first…hey its morning already, lol!. Then just today I realized I had to get back here to settle some updates and status on our community hobby.
Ahh yes!! Just as promised I’ve revived project WHIRL WIND version 2 which is my track making and models. (picture attached). I manage to spent 1 hour per-day working on track project despite with tight real life schedule. I was really happy and eagerly waiting to finish it up. I expected to release on 26th May 2007 but after double thinking I think I should be patient and keep on doing some fixes and improve the framerate gameplay on the track because it lags by 25 frame and below. Maybe my models too much of animated objects. Lol. Thanks to Luke for his inspiration on his cool LEGO LAND track for 4x4evo2 I was like in pumped adrenalin to continue my cause for track making just this time and make my single and final shots making this project big time before jumping into making models for other game genre.
SIXTY-7 however left sleept in the garage waiting to shed of its high poly object since people keep complaining that the models lag by 2x than NEMIXIS. I should spent more trimming those fat from SIXTY-7 model.
Oh btw other superb news on my side of interest, after months of hard work and part time job just bought my self a new bike free ride full suspension mountain bike frame to replace my old retired hardtails, yippee!! Maybe I’ll snap some picture of my bike tomorrow and post it here. Hey its mothers day next week!...i must get some cool goodies for my mom.

Brighter among the stars!

I was playing 4x4evo2 for 2 hours just now after came back from partime work.. then i went outside the corridor house and lay down on the chair look above the sky at night.

Its Aprill!!!...damn it!

I never realise how hard this few days starting last march. It made me realise being grown up in the adult world is really hard than being me few year back....i'd prefer life 10 years backward. Back then i was on 17, life is good its just like those in the teenage comical story book. .. you only have to think just few task you need to accomplised: Study, make friend and play hard. Counting year foward after graduation from university and now standing in the year 2007 my shoulder began to carry heavy burden which once our parents carried for our living sake. Work...work...work...work.. yup money doesn't fall from the sky and money make the world turn around like water flows from waterfall, rivers and into the sea. I wish there would be 48 hours a day...half working for employer for decent salary and half for family and self ambition. I hate the idea of money for everthing in live. I hardly enjoy myself having a slot of time to go out enjoy riding my bike, playing games and meet people...time always full with office jobs and partime work all for money; then pay bills, electric, water, taxes, house hold necessity, car loan, house loan, insurance, medical, food, parents allowance, brother and sister education funding and my study loan that i use in the past. Arrrggghhhh... heavy burden!

I used to read Christian bibles about house Jesus used to live in the days where civilisation was moderate and just enough to live with natural resources live fishing and agriculture. There on part that took my attention in the book "worry nothing, thin nothing on material gains and daily task that burden us, enjoy life and worship...in the after life we will gain what was lost". I wish i was in the same path as Jesus live but nowadays things isn't fair in commercialisation world.

Today is "Good Friday", even after came back from church i still have to go out full filling my part time job on computer task and some graphic work at my contractor place...then i came back home, grab out some hard earn cash from my pocket, then i realised i lost my touch some important things to do than just working my ass for money. I should have spent more times with my family and quality with my friends, all work make me stray away from social activity.

Its been a month without rain right here in my town. The night sky is couldless. The moon shines so bright!! Its beautiful..i can see stars that shines more beautiful than any other days..the stars is like people shines in the dark. I wish i was one of the star which shines much brighter that anyone else and let people below the sky watch me in awe.

Who's cooking this weekend....lame*

My older sister sucks at cooking! man i wish she improve her cooking yet she even complained i did even touch her food for dinner. I hope she didn't invite her boy friend to taste her cooking. Yuk! My cook taste better then her.

SIXTY-7 body shell re-edit.

I made some private test run on track in some of my cousin's PC. He and his sister was watching my designs roam around the track using "Race View" cam in 4x4 EVOLUTION 2 game. It was perfect view like contorlling remote control RC cars. Slowly the audience picking up opinion and hinted that i should improve the frontal nose of the car chasis hood. The say it was a bit long/protruded out wards and feel abit of 90's exotic cars like the days of Lamborghini Countach. The latest design for frontal chasis and hood suppose to be short nosed and flat just like today's TOYOTA VIOS and 2007 HONDA CIVIC which is short and as close to front wheel fender which most real life manufacturer says it much better that way because for car with front located engine should be place behind front wheel instead of sitting above the engine. The wheels serve as extra obtracles or natural impact bumper before reaching the engine thus pushing the engine impact inertia towards the passanger inside the cockpit. Designs must take into account of driver safety too. The above picture the body shell, it is re-improved short nosed SIXTY-7.

Bird attack!

I'm not lucky today, I was cycling racing ahead of the pack try reaching the finishing point first spot. Cycle along the coastal road then suddenly i felt as if little pebble of rock fell on top of my helmet "tap", "tap"!..i peek a little above my lid...hhmmm??...none! So i keep on pedalling and then "tap!", "tap!"....peek up and i see a white wing flew pass by and made a back turn in a dash...hmmm??.. I keep on pedalling a few meters and there's go again..."tap!" tap!"...a bird flew pass above my head and do some roll barrel 360 up and down sweep in attacking position aim towards my white helmet at high speed! ....WTF!!!....so i accelerate like made fear it would break through the lid and crack my cranium skull. .....I can still hear the bird wings flapped above me like wild! "Shuuuu!! you mad bird! git off! @$%$#^#$". I was like pedal to the metal at high speed until i reached the finishing point and took sharp cornering into Esplanade lot near the beach meeting up with the remaining mountain biker at the parking lot. I braked infront of them and made a big huuufff puuffff breathing. I was like " Did you see that?!"..."See wut?!" the replied. A few minutes later came another of our riding buddies from Poland......."Mad bird! mad bird! wut a wanker!" He was earing a white helmet too..i get it now.

OMG! I'm lazy bumm!

I think i absent minded this month, I forgot to update my blog and check my mail for important request and some stuff. Glad i've checked today and replied to the sender, some are important ones including 3d projects and agreements. Wheww!, glad i've checked that out. Sorry if some of you out there waiting for my e-mail reply. I guess getting as old as 28 can get your brain slow mo like my grand parents.
Some good news is that more and more people grab some of my designs for their productive project including making mods, 3d game development and also fun simple 2d games. I'm really exciting and thankful to those guys who are really supportive an interested in my models. It really make me wanna make more for them. Awesome!

Slack day at models

March! Its march! Omg! This month of march I should get my butt working. Talk about way behind schedule I completely blank minded about SIXTY-7 model. I need to UV map some mirrored body parts in Z-modeler to make left and right side of the car looks synchronized in appearance. On the other I’ve receive a request from female fans propose a special request to ask me to make a special SIXTY-7 with pale pink, pearl white and golden gold lace color theme…..a cute side feeling of the car. As for me I’ll just put it aside first and see if I have enough time slot to built those after completing the original SIXTY-7 models.

Beneath the sunset.

I’ve gone cycling today evening, unlike everyday sunny weather today is much special day. Me and my buddy cycle anti clock wise on our usual route follow along where the wind blows and not against it. Its was not a fast ride we used to cycle like athletes but instead we did an easy ride, pedal easy on the crank and slow down on the speed to enjoy the scenery as wind blow to our face as we stroll along side the coastal path. It was sunset by the time we cruise along the coastal beach, the sun sets down in golden orange color flashing the sea in golden liquid. I release my hand from my handle bar and let it steer freely as my hand wave up into the air and I gaze up into the sky. Wow! Its beautiful…..way up I see a cloud formation pointing and drift towards the sun. It looks like a column of giant floating island of heaven with trails of mini golden shaded clouds forming stairway up to the peak of the heaven’s summit. Just below the cloud it looks like some dusty trails blown like big cotton wool underneath the floating island just like scenes from dust storm from Sahara desert. The back ground sky is all golden orange + pink violet atmospheres. A sight to be holds and inspired….exotically wonderful moment to experiences the scene that comes once in a blue moon. I’m really proud and lucky to be born outdoor type of man and born life outside the box. I wish I could duplicate those moment and clone those environment inside 4x4 EVOLUTION 2 driving experience. It does reminds me like being inside the game’s stock track AUTUMN LEAF as shown in the picture above.

HEAVEN vs bike tube.

Today is Ash Wednesday, a day that i should go to church by 5.30pm (compulsory). But few hours earlier at 2.00pm i sneak out for mountain biking ride to nearby rocky trails and some downhills track under super bright cloudless blue sky and super hot sunny weather. Flew here, jump here and there. With all those fun i have I have funny feeling that i would missed my church attendance,lol. Few miles ahead i made a huge leap down from the top of the ridge and landed on two wheels with front tyre pinch flat at bright sunny afternoon at 4.00pm. I pulled out my spare tube which recycled from previous pinch flat with few patch of glue to fix the hole and stuff it back on the wheels while the broken tube put back into my bag. I pumped the tube and the tyre back to full air..yipeee!! Then a few rolls it punture again..so i pulled out the tube and checked...stupid little torn stab the tyre, pulled it out and throw away..repatched and pumped. A few roll and suddenly a hissss of air leaked out, pull out the tube again and checked...the old glue patch peeled, i renew the patch and slap a new glue patch...pumped the air again. So i roll the the tyre...it was full and ready to go. Few minutes and meters away rolling my tyre again flat to ground zero...again i pull out the tube and checked where the air leaked, this time its the opposite side of the tube area with on old previous patch peeled off again. So back to step 1 and pumped. A few roll...flat...pull out tube...patch..pumped.., A few roll...flat...pull out tube...patch..pumped..A few roll...flat...pull out tube...patch..pumped..A few roll...flat...pull out tube...patch..pumped..
Arrggghhh!!! its 4.45pm! Why this happen to me....this tube sucks! ...thinking back and look back up into the blue sky i smiled and say "If you can hear me LORD please make this tube works so i can get back riding back home and in time for Church....i'm going back for YOU".
This time i pumped and the tyre back to full air. Roll few meters and stop for few minutes to hear any air hissing for leak....nope. So i cycle way down the steep hills and through bumpy technical trails and off to home. Reached home at 5.00pm super fast. Put my bike into my room and took bath..then do this and that, took my car keys and...wait check my bike tyre....its flat! ..."thanks LORD, i think i got YOUR message loud and clear".. and so off to the church i go.

Working on mini tutorial on 4x4evo 2 UI and patch.

Ok, i've been working for more than 3 days setting up tutorial to implement changes on 4x4EVO 2 UI (User Interface) changes and user can mod it plus made few patch to make it possible for user to make themself custom made UI. Work still in WIP and expected to finish off by Saturday. Messy work on HTML editing for tutorial purposes...actually i hate html editing...waste but hey, save me headache from incoming noobs. Hope to see it available at my website by this weekend.

Catching up with everyday events..

uh oh!...damn i haven't put any updates on my blog and also on my websites. Sorry being lame with no news about what happening around my work desk. Just like i in previous week, February is my break time....the sun, the winds, blue sky and hill top..every afternoon. At night it my payckeck hours. Sunday xtreme day and etc....phewww...i really missed 3d modeler work. Well a lot of things happen back few weeks since my last updates recorded in here.

1. Congratulation to my sister for getting 1st prize for 21 inch plasma TV
2. Nuggets every Sunday morning…….i feel sick. I hope I’ll cook better one next months.
3. Night shift is bad for health… I hope I could get better part time jobs on computer.
4. After a months of dark cloudy and gloomy rainy day finally last Saturday sunshine break through and welcomes the blue sky and white clouds. Good thing my bike don’t have to swim through the monsoon flood no more.
5. Clothings stay dry.
6. Friends offer cheaper bike parts.
7. More urban bike jumps every weekends, public and cars stay alert.
8. Watch more anime episodes than working on my 3d models.
9. TV boring, Pc rocks.
10. Office work is boring, I don’t think human can evolve by confining them self behind the desk.
11. WTF these mosquito come from every nights?…sheeeesssshhh!!
12. Fast internet connection…..i guess our local ISP fixed their bandwidth after earth quake hit Asia months ago.
13. Try spend $2.00 below everyday so I could save up on bike upgrades and computer gadgets purchase.
14. Valentine is a lonely day…

Also I would like to send my heart felt condolences to our mountain biking buddy Mr Gilbert who’s his wife past away instantly after involve in tragic road accident and his son suffer broken leg on Sunday 11tth February. It was shocking for us and traumatic for Gilbert to face such news about his love ones. I also saw news and picture on the local paper….that was horrible sideways impact on the car, driver’s door heavily knocked out again a tree. I hope that Gilbert and his surviving children will stay strong and live on a normal life and may his wife be remembered in beautiful memories and seek peace and happiness in the heaven.

Blue sky!

Finally the rainy seasons is over! Its been two days and the sky is so blue, the night sky sparkle twilight stars and yes! Reward myself full days outddoors on two wheels. Don't worry! i haven't ditch my 3d work aside in the corner... i'll be back active on 3d stuff soon :D

Cold breezy rainy day.

A kilometer away the sound of wave pounding the sandy beaches much louder and noisy that ever. The wind seeps into the door howling push cold wind into my house. The weather have been very cloudy and rains heavily very ofthen in the morning...which spoils my plan to go out for mountain biking both yesterday and this gloomy Sunday morning. I been munching lots of calories in the morning...egg, nuggets and sausages hoping i could burn them for noon activity..well postponed tomorrow so keep it under the skin. The whole day i'm on PC playing Ripmax Radio Control Simulator and checkout some files for 4x4evo2 games..let say house cleaning the files. I wish tomorrow will be a brighter day.

Day 2: take a break..have a kit kat...watch anime.

Since this week and forth will be a week break away from 3d modelling tools and task every night i spent some times watching some collection of anime episode that i've been keeping for long time. After night shift and get back home... i pull out disc of episodes from 'Chrono Crusade' to keep me entertained. Tonight i supposed to watch episode 14 and 15. It was great but not as good as AKIRA movie. Watching anime is a great activity for me,... pull out some great stuff to watch help me refresh my brain. My brain kinda like VCR recorder...as i watch i actually record back into my brain and put the into sequential library of movie so i can remember back and rewind the movie and play back again whenever i go...that's memory power! Whenever i feel boring i just recall back those episode and movie enjoy as if jump into virtual world and be part of it.

Enjoyable weeks.

Ouch! man...thing going pretty slow as snail around here especially on the design developemtn side... i also forgot to update my blog to tell you guys updates on 4x4evo1/2 and some designs for our gaming and modelling community. Its been weeks i haven't blog some updates but i think those weeks should be rewarding for me to get my burden on designs and models off my shoulder. Those weeks i spent more times with my family, friends, pc games and finish up some collection of anime episodes behind the desk. I manage to get special part-time work on graphics design for my friend's father company at night which explain why i didn't have much time to pop-up with updates on my blog so soon.... late at night i pretty worn out and doze to sleep...z.zzz..zzz...zzzz. Made some good cash and spend on upgrading my bike and put aside some few for February special day....emmmmm!!.
January and February 2007 will be my breaking month to cool myself down and enjoy my life before i head back on the drawing board. Btw i was thinking dumping some parts from SIXTY-7 like wheelsets and part into my website download section as an advance. I haven't decide yet but i need to arrange suitable time slot to make it available in pairs. Wheeewwww! what a week!..

Toy from the past.

A toy from the past. XCALIBUR...a replica of my kiddy minded dreams. Still it was my best lightweight 3d models and well enjoyed dune buggy vehicle models. Just this evening i was trying it our for a ride around the Autumn tracks, it rolls over through any terrains flawlessly in 4x4evo2 sims. Back then in real world,my uncle used to have an Radio Control buggy almost jut like this. When i was a kid he used to live round my house and his room fill of models from Radio to mini scaled plastic kits. My eyes caught on his RC buggy collection which he used to bring it out and let it sprint around the sandy track infront of our house. Playing Radio Control models was expensive hobby back then. As a kid i can only watch him control this mini wonder round and round the track which attract much crowd nearby. I remember having to drool all over the shopping window glass which housed a big box of R/C models of "TAMIYA Super Sabre" and "TAMIYA Boomerang" pretty expensive for a kid like me.
But now i'm grow older and no need for real thing to be in my hands, i can always have on virtually and share with others thanks to 3d modele tools and 4x4evo2 sims, with race cam view and PS2 via PC to USB adapter i feel like kid again...my my 20 years went by so fast!

Dream of wonders.

I had a dream...
Was driving in a car, the cockpit was very wide in width, two seater type everthing covered in dark leather covers, seated in a very relaxed nap posture type chair with leg reaching the accelerator almost straight vertical level with the chair. I can see the hood of the car dark high polished violet dual tone in pearl essence color viewable through very aero slanted windshield. I was driving into the office compound reversing the car into parking lot. Then in few second i passed out and awake....wondering why i had such dream. Anyways violet color car isn't my choice of color even if to put it into my designs. Wonder what was all about.

Ride to the edge.

I crashed a lot on mountain biking this week after tryout few steep downhills and some wheelie jumps, on the scene: all around me are hills, valleys, rocky slope, cliff and stalagtite type terrains with deep gap way down below. Its just me and my bike jumping around gripping every corner of terrains, balance through narrow slippery rocky trails and hop/leap over the biggest possible obstacles. Sometimes i slipped crashed, fly over bar and land head first, side ways, and even worse grab dear life at the edge of the cliff 6 storey high after almost slip at the end of the cliff. Damn i was lucky to be alive. Back on my feet looking down the ravine i was wonder was if i did down there..... That's the price i have to pay for going into extreme sport,exciting but risky. There's an important lesson i can learn being at the edge of between life and death: You'll appreciate your life much more than you ever experience and felt before...every minutes is meaningful and no rules govern and restrict your freedom. heh! i felt good! I should do again everyday. Live strong.

Pocket burner day.

I burn lots of budget today, spent mostly on bike maintenance.....its necessary. Part worn out badly mostly on drive trains, gear shifts, and traction system. Gobble more than half of my salary. Some parts have to be order from overseas which costs a lot since my bike can only be fitted with special custom parts. I'll have to wait 4 days until the bike is up. Anyways no regret for that because such investment worth benefit for my health, fitness and trouble free pleasure since i'm an adventurous dude. Actually i suppose to get a Playstation Portable (PSP) today but our local SONY shop stop ordering due to lack of customer response and less game titles available for PSP. I'll stick to my trusty NGAGE this time..again.

Happy New Year! Good bye 2006, welcome 2007!
Wishes all 4x4evo1/2 community, 3d modeler, gaming fans and all my friends a happy new year and may all the wishes and dream this year and after be a successfull and prosperity for those who have the will to achieve their goals and success.
Well for me i hope i could expand my work with ideas outside the box, plus putting 3d models into more realistic approach to real world demand hence my moto " bring design closer to reality" as pronounced 6 years ago. Also i'll be concentrating more into getting people gather around and enjoy online together for an adventure ride this mid. I hope the server will be around to host our adventure 4x4 simulation drive. With site, forum,chats and stuff in the community i hope i could these community into real virtual driving community via 3d simulated environment just like the Matrix with common interest; car, trucks and track. Let's go!

Simulation new facelift.

Rainy days...its been more than 4 days and it became local headlines for having flash flood due to recent typhoon that hit Philiphines and around South China Sea region. The typhoon tails hit Borneo island so we get to taste itsy bitsy of those wet cloudy days. Being stuck in my own home and couldn't move my bike around i have to spend some quality times with my PC. I'm staying away from Z-modeler heavy work for a while due to tedious jobs but instead put my hands on easy stuff like modding 4x4 Evolution 2 programs on UI settings, POD files, INI's and remove redundant files which i discover that some component of XBOX files placed inside the game which is useless for PC. The screenshots above is new UI designs for those game interface...very much clean, more spacious, not cluttered and foward new looks...smaller new font too.
Other than that i've remove some redundant 3d files (SMF), TIF, RAW and some unused track object to shrink the file size down so it could fit on my handy drive and i could move around and play the 4 wheeling simulator on the go. Some other improvement are the UI for career and all new blank center highlight Garage room which suits today simulation style, just like in Grand Turismo game. I'm right now experimening some common shared parts used on the sims like axle, cbox and suspension which mostly on *.BIN 3d meshes with old texture format on RAW + ACT.

After Christmas and eventfull week.

My my! what a week. Anyways i just came back from Christmas holiday trip from my hometown in Limbang city. It was great christmas treat! not only i get Christmas gift but also trip to lots of relative and friends house for Christmas celebration all eat and drink till drunk. Cakes, pudding, sweets, roast meat, chicken BBQ, beers, wines, whiskeys and late night laughter. First eve and next two midnights i was pretty blur minded when most of my relative serve me with high calories food and strong expensive wine. For christmas i receive a SONY noise reduction earphone (cool!), Nokia NGAGE accessories, CD games and few goodies goodies. The weather at my hometown was luckily very bright and sunny most of the time but yet hot, have to turn on the AC whole day too cool me down. Back at my cousin house who take care of my grandma, i was there to visit my grandma. Greeted my grandma Christmas greetings and good luck kisses on her forehead to tell her i'm back and here for her. I hope she could make it up till next year but her health seem not promising as her age nearly reach human limitation, i wish for the best and may Lord guide her to the next phase of life when times comes. On the 2nd day my parent show me some land that they owned and point out some potential area that we could work out on...maybe some plantation project or anything profitable. Later on Tuesday 26th i return back home on flight.
Back at home i hugged my bike and computer! Really missed them soooo mucchhh! 3 hours later i'm on my gears and ride my bike to nearest off-road spot for trails riding..."addictive"!
Little i didn't know earth quake strucked Taiwan region crippled internet throughout ASIA Pacific region as the undersea data cable were damage during those event. Plus heavy rain down pour rocked my city the next day spoil my daily dates with my bike. What a day!.

Merry Christmas! Yay!

Merry Christmas everyone!
And early greetings from me, i'm going back to my hometown Limbang city for family gathering and celebration. Its a best time to see my olds folks and my grandma. Brought also some surprises for them too.

So I had already prepared some little present for my cousins who request some thing special and useful.
1. A USB handy drive with bootable PUPPY LINUX OS…(damn he really got such crap 128MB PC…gotta rescue him with this!)
2. Mini custom simple setup of SUSE linux station to host his mini personal website for his vegetables business. (2x unit, one for me and one for him.)
All this cost to prepare this great gift almost cost to none. Puppy and SUSE downloaded free and most hardware are recycled (almost junk). The only this that worth expensive is workmanship. Simple Christmas gift but yet damn usefull. Anyways I’m on the budget since I finish up thousands on home loan, cars and stuff to advance the bill after those last project I did. I haved book an airplane ticket to get back to my home town in two hours from now. I have to remind myself to buy some little goodies for the little ones and also to my old man.
In the fridge there’s kilos of chocolate cakes ready to be slice for Christmas to be brought over there, my mouth drools… just need to count till tomorrow and chomp it off.

Well to all modeler, 4x4evo fans and the gamming community who read this, sorry I can’t release my production on time this Christmas because I’ll be away for Christmas holidays for a while, it’ll be next months that is 2007. Family reunion is the biggest priority this season so I couldn’t neglected it. Hobby can come later. Anyways my old grandma getting sick and hardly wake up. So is a good timing for me to get back to her and touch for the last time. May this coming Christmas season bring luck, joy happiness and heavenly light shone one happy people and those who I care. Merry Christmas! ;)

Word from an old man.

I met this old man at night outside the building just below the publishing company, he was sitting down near the bench under the a big shady roof and staring up in the sky, rain drops started to drips on the pavement. Sitting relax with portable radio cassette running playing old 80’s Chinese music beside him. And sing and hum along, dressed only with khakis blouse and short pants in his 70’s. I was about to move out from the building as my night job on customer computers have been settled and planning to drag all my stuff back into my car just across the road. And settle to nearby coffee shop for a good night meal The rain started to rain heavily.
“Young man! Its wet out there just wait for a while” he nudge.
He was right, it couldn’t hurt to wait until the rain cease rather than going back at night in cold and wet my car cushion. So I stood there with a box of CD software and some PC tools.
“What do you have over there?, wants some bak-pau?” he said.
“No thanks, and this is some computer stuff to fix computer” I replied.
He stare silently, raise his eye brow and then lean back against the bench with a wide smile; “ Oh computer I see……..emm..computer guy!..uumm yeahh…mmm….”
The rain seems to be longer than I ever expected with loud thundering sound from the dark nigh clouds…I waited and waited fear I will miss my day with computer games by midnight.
“Wah! Computer everywhere, phone with computer, computer tv, computer business, computer hospital, kids play computer, pay tiket with computer and soo many… too many computer around..amazing! amazing!”……….then he halt, took a bite of meat bun and gulp, he continues with a blank stare into the front surroundings of busy streets under the rain: “ people so busy with computer, …haiiya..they make money.. ..no time.. no emjoy… family.. no time.. no time.., ……. You,.. computer make you happy? You live with computer?”
“No sir, not always” I spoke….actually its my 50-50 facts.
The old man smiled and replied; “Life is very short you know…” then he hum along with the oldies song from cassette player.
Puzzled with his words I just smiled to him. The rain almost calm down, I start to walk slowly along the corridor to nearby path where I could reach my car without getting wet. I passed in front of the old man and wave at him. Just a few steps..
“Never be slave to a machine, they are not everything….this thing bring sickness” he murmured.
I look back at him pondering and yet smiled with confusion. He seems to relaxed with those words, he looks calm and enjoy staring at the city lights late at night, look wise and ambiguous.
He turn his head to me and said “ Don’t be like my daughter…hmmmpp…peace is not in the machine”.
“Where is she now?” I asked.
He took a long breath and ease himself in a relax position, “Very very far away from here…very far away, but I have no regret”.
So I thought she must have been working overseas. “Oh!”, I turn around and continue walking.
“Hey! Do you feel stress at work?” he stare at me.
“Nope! Why should i” I replied.
“Good, I wish my daughter was like you but it was too late” he shook his head and continue took a last bite on the meat buns…”enjoy life…you know there lots of nice food you can enjoy.”
“Umm…”, I grin. So I left the place silently leaving the old man ponders by itself under the lights of city nights.

Back driving in the car looking at by standers with working suits outside the windows, I recall what the old man says and understand what he meant. Back few months ago I worked very hard and catch up with opportunities day and night. My nose bleed every morning, headache, sleepy and muscle pain. But now everything went ok, I felt much healthier and enjoy more outdoors every day. I know now. Learn to enjoy, avoid stress, ignore obstacles, ignore the rules that govern us into work slavery. Life is good when you enjoy every minutes of things you always wanted to feel, hear and touch. Thank god I was born to explore the world and able to mix around with weird people day and night, learning new things.

At the same night I pick up my sister who worked late at night at medic lab inside private medical center. Then saw a familiar face come out from the door in his late 20’s . “Did you diagnose this guy?” I wonder. “Oh, he came to monitor his blood pressure level, he needs stress management” my sister answered. To bad I knew that person…working under the same building where I worked for.

Hot!..wheeww!

uhh...it Tuesday early wee morning, can't get back to sleep...too hot. I think those after effect eating pounds of BBQ meat last Sunday beach biking party really put me on weight and made my body full of fat under the skin. I did turn the air-cond and fan to the max still felt hot and itch. I guess those grilled saucy food haven't worn off and still burning some calories as we speak. I must get back riding my bike this coming evening to burn those fat.

Beautiful sunday! Cycling and BBQ feast!

Sunday ride was great! Well blessed with beauuuuutifullll weather! The sky so blue clear, can see far horizon and mountains, and the climate was really hot and made us bath in our own sweat. As usual 3.30pm about more than 20 mountain biker went off into the woods, up and down the trails, swinging our bike through curves and tight windy path, ram through bushes and up into rocky hills. At 6.30pm we return back into our finishing point at our city Esplanade facing towards the sea. Tired, sweaty, sticky and our stomach was growling. Everyone load their bikes into their car and pull our sets of BBQ hardware, some heavy buckets full of raw chicken wings, drumsticks and meat, box of iced cold beer, junk foods and whole bunch of fruits. ITS BBQ PARTY! Yum! Yum! Its our monthly mountain biker gathering party! Everyone was busy BBQ and frying some food over the grilled, others busy on the drinks, bath on the sea, sightseeing, chatting, testing bikes and me I was seating down looking the beautiful orange violet horizon looking over sun setting down to welcome the nights. People running around the beach, playing around the sea water, jogged and romantic couple holding hands.
The sea wind pound my face and body, cool and breeze keeping me dry and refresh after long tired rides. The smell of BBQ meat really made my tummy growl. Everyone gather around as darkness be fall our surroundings, only our HID bicycle light brightens our gathering spot plus burning fire from charcoal grille. We talk and laugh about common interest, from bikes to public incident. We also talk about plans for rides during Christmas season. By 7.50pm all nice BBQ chickens, meat, hotdog, snacks and slices of fruits ready to be consume. Everyone have handful of hot chilli meat and cans of carbonated cold drinks and beer to cool us down, The night star was bright, the sky very clear and cloudless. I had a good laugh and full tank of dinner, hardly move my body….ummmphhhh!! All of us spent the BBQ party until almost 10.00pm. Then we packed and get back home back into our cars.
The smell for fried burned chicken and meat spew from my stomach and out of my mouth as we drove home. Wow! What a feast! I sure gain extra weight today.

CG quality high poly cockpit parts.

Alright time to put all 3d quality to the max….beat beyond Playstation 3d complexity and TEST DRIVE standard. Everyone knows that by year 2007 and forward 3d quality and complexity are getting more and more detailed and realistic thanks to high performance processing power of CPU and Graphic Processing Unit plus trick graphic engine that can render trillions of polygon per-second or even can achieve at mili’s.
Back behind the desk I was thinking way deep and outside the box, thinking if “SIXTY-7” worth released if the 3d complexity is between gaming and CG standard 3d. So I said “ Get over it, let burn the PC and overload the CPU processing power, let get make a REAL ride!”……..super high polygon to the max!… Since the future 2007 compose of high end gaming PC, I don’t think they’re be any problem running my car at super high poly. Aw c’mon, Intel and AMD going for QUAD CORE Cpu. Wouldn’t that run smooth?

So……here’s some super high polygon 3d parts I made for SIXTY-7, each parts worth tones heavier than normal 3d. Like, my latest wheel polygon amount = SIXTY-7’s gear box shifter set. Yup! more than 5 thousands poly per parts…per parts!
For me high polygon is good news for me:

MORE POLYGON = LESS TEXTURE RESOLUTION
This is useful since 4x4EVO1/2 only can support 1x 512x512 texture per-overall 3d car/trucks.
Check the picture above. They look superbly wonderful looking even without texture. This is CG quality 3d!

CPU + GPU processing killer 3d models.

It was a boring day in the office, my area of work seem to be unchallenging… All I do is do the repeated task and trouble shooting on computer hardware and administrative task over and over again. I hate repeated task it doesn't make my brain function well. When I look back at my Degree in Computer Science certificate I don’t think it worth to be in such crap position. I’m losing my C++, VB, PHP and MYSQL programming skill as days pass by. But good thing the current post provide a very loose work hours for me to work on other stuff. Too avoid being brain dead on my own desk I need to grease up my mind. Since I got few minutes of free slot between work I manage to work out and pull out ideas for “SIXTY-7” new cockpit....now that what i called progress and mind building activity. After long thinking its been decided SITXY-7 should have higher polycount models exceed today PC game’s 3d models standard and jump into PS3 style high detailed cockpit models. 4x4 EVOLUTION game engine and DirectX-8 based render provide a better platform to support high amount of complex 3d model object in one group. So better take advantage over its feature and push the computer processing power to the limit. Few parts of models especially on the cockpit models been made, it a right hand drive steering models. Very high poly on the dashboard alone. It is estimated that “SIXTY-7” have massive polycount on the cockpit model alone equal to the overall amount of polycount of NEMIXIS complete car model. The engine itself, chassis, suspension system and other small detailed miscellaneous parts will take a heavy rendering power. This is estimated value of it polygon count for “SIXTY-7” periodly:

PROJECT: SIXTY-7
estimated total of polygon
from complete car models-
----------------------------
FACE: 369324
VERTICE : 362720
----------------------------

Remember this is the minimal value. Some 3d structure in SIXTY-7 models have not been completed and expect the value to increase soon. This is the most heaviest polycount 3d models ever built for racing game simulation periodly! Its a CPU + GPU cycle sucker!

Premium gold label wheel.

I've decided to put gold platted finishing on the new wheels "RAPID FIRE GSR-24 XL". As shown in the picture above is the beta version of final product for SIXTY-7's wheelset. The front and rear wheel will have different width and tire density ratio just like NEMIXIS have. It was a tough choice choosing proper color for new 2007 models, the color have been chosen because it fit the car looks and given characteristic of secretive and mysterious charisma of a car. Gothic and exotics. It reminds me of color theme from old PORSHE 911's BBS webbed wheels from FIA-GTR. Looks massively bulk and aggressive!

Project SIXTY-7: the wheelset GSR24-XL

This evening i run my Z-modeler program to edit few missing parts on project SIXTY-7 model's wheelset. I made few minor mistake for not putting enough details into the models. Just like the previous wheels the XETA GSE24-XL (on NEMIXIS) it has missing parts....the pump valve (shredder valve). How you gonna pump a tire without those? So for SIXTY-7 car's wheelset i added those on the rim perimeter just below the flange bow. Oh btw the picture shown above is the new wheelset design for "SIXTY-7" car. It is called RAPIDFIRE GSR24-XL super asphalt wheelset for hatch back car. The design almost similar to the latest models used by NEMIXIS except the rim flange on "Y" configuration spread much wider, bulkier touch on the wheels perimeter and flange bolt added and protrude againts others to provide much better weight and stress distributon..theoratically, I'm planning to show the complete finished version of GSR24-XL with texture maybe tomorrow or two days later. Choice of color probably gold anodize, titanium dark grey rims and some ball burnished silver coating. That would depend how well the color fits and match SIXTY-7 main chassis color.

Another ruined Sunday.

Sunday suppose to be happy day to me but no, just another bad luck..
1. Some dude at crowded public place didn't cover his sneeze, the wind then blew the germ from the front to behind where i was seated. Now i'm getting it. Damn! That guy bring crap sickness!
2. Rain! awwww!!! Suppose to be my bike riding day today. From morning till evening as we speak.

Drive the old and new.

Ahhh...tired at work...yet brainless and repetitive task in the office made me dull guy without future. Lame day especially on friday..reached home at 5.30pm, my brain wishper "C'mon turn on the computer, run 4x4 evolution and pick a ride". Before i took off for the night work i run my usual favorite game/simulator and pick up two of my old and new vehicle collection and start driving around on my joystick. Rode an old "DX 200T SRS 7" and latest "NEMIXIS CD 12.0 XL-XGT". Made few rounds of speed cruise, drift, drags and rubber burnout on the tarmac. The old model was easy going and easy to drift around corner with much higher differential slips while the new ones more like drag racer and hard to turn around the junction. Physically when i look at both of my creation i do feel that my models and skills on creating models do evolve and manage to catch up with high poly 3d trends...also as hardware performance like higher GPU clock rate more high polygon models can be made to be added into 4x4evo1/2 sims. Both models on the picture separated 3 years apart symbolised my youth and adult hood souls. As we count our fingers each days 2007 will be around the corner. I hope to built something that would shock the gaming, 3d modeler and designer community.

Out for morning trails riding. A day off

Its was a great day today, Wednesday morning greeted with bright sunshine, blue sky and fresh dry weather. Today suppose to be my working day for me but i took emergency day off today to work out on new trails and explore new location for next Sunday bike riding event. Also a good timing to go out since the weather is unpredictable and occasionally rains at random times. Only 4 people went out searching for trails. As shown from the picture above we went to into the dense jungle and penetrate further till it reach behind or nearby LAMBIR National Park. We reached at about 10.30am and cruise into a logging trails, then back into the single track path under the canopy trees. We passed SOON HUP area then climb over the highest hill overlook the horizon looking for possible path toward the National Park. At 11.30am the sun rise above us, pretty hot..wish i wore yellow FOX Racing jersey instead of dark blue because it doesn't reflect back the heat out of the body. Anyways the weather suddenly became much cooler by 12.00pm..then minor rain started to drizzle towards east. We quickly cycle as fast as we could towards our final destination that is going out through SONG Hills that was a junction above the hills before LAMBIR National park, but that was 3 hours ride away through bumpy rides, rocky obstacles, roots, valleys, bushes and dirt trails. We also met some local villagers who we were working about their plantation and seek help to locate possible path the leads to possible path towards the highest hill where the rear back National Park was located. They were very friendly. The wind getting much stronger as it blew through the dense forest. I can hear wind turbulence thrust against my ear which also plugged with earphone interfering as I listening to mp3 along the way. We climbed the highest hill point, the scene was beautiful and rewarding. It make me felt that living in urban community really all that sucks. Green habitate rocks! Then we did few up and down hill through loose rocky and muddy roads to the east-south bound for the SONG hills. By 1.30pm we reached civilized road and stop at nearby hut to take cover from the heavy rain. I took 30 minutes nap on wooden plank as we wait for the rain to calm down. Everything went well at 4.00pm and we head back home….my head began imagining of me holding iced cold can of Coca Cola gulping those fizzy cold beverages down my throat relieved my thirst. Yes we cycle damn fast for it. Home!

Its getting suspicious about my internet access broadband speed for the pass few weeks, it getting slower and slower. Even took almost 4 hours to download 14MB files and same as other FTP websites. I wonder if the ISP provider lied about the internet speed as offered on their package for 1MB per sec offer. Sometimes i got the feeling that some net speed have been consumed by probability of filter server to monitor illegal internet activity locally and in asian region. But one thing for sure its kinda cut throat to know that my money burn off to lousy internet access services. Right now i felt like having runing a dial-up speed. Lame!

Renovate my website in time for Christmas and New Year.

Well, a month alter it'll be 2007! There so much thing to do in just a short period. As usually i'm also prepare to welcome the new year for the community. First step i need to update the my website interface with much lively feeling plus changable theme skins for user view pleasure. Mmm!! changeble website templates on the spot! sound rare aa! Hopefully it'll be done before christmas along with other creation. I don't know what i wish for christmas. But at my typical age i don't wish much for material gift, but hoping something special might appear in my life next year. Something that would make me forever happy. Till then i just play along and enjoy my life as it is.
