2009-04-24T06:25:00.005+08:00

Its already been 3 month since the "touch" project started. Now, there's some "seen" progress. a lot of energy put in on searching the right stuff and materials. Right now...it's just 25%progress...a lot of things must be done..

Brunei Custom bike

2009-04-19T22:27:00.006+08:00

Wow!!...that's all i say for this local bike builder...back in 2006, im into bike building..just a dream..alot of idea coming out, extensive research and so on...but my dream doesn't get realize.. but this guys, QCB, live their dreams... talk to the QCB owner, Sham, a very big guy with a big dreams which he live it, is a very nice person and humble. got my respect for his creation. metal works and his creativity and the hours he spend...just admiring.

The wide tyre's on all his creation is from a car wheel...which..very funny...i have tought about this back in '06. I tot about it...but because of lack of initiative, encouragement and tools...im unable to create it...just an idea which lie dormant in my heads...my friend said to me, i got the idea but not initiative... hahha... i got this "touch" project going on and i don't want to wait 2 more years seeing somebody done it. This tym let it be me...lesson learn....

Admire and respect to the QCB owner/builders..

At 1st, she want the V6, 2.7..but its out of stock and the "agent" said to us durang nda g masukkan coupe baru..or order g coz they waiting for genesis...if my wife nda begunakan keta urgent..coz the other car bnyk masalah...she will wait for the genesis..but agent pun alum confirm masuk brunei or nda and the price jua (but durang stop mengorder coupe!)...

This month..the coupe got a new look. The Tomato kit have been installed. Yesterday we got the chance to meet tiburon club member, Alex, at centrepoint gadong. He tought it was my car...but i told him its my wife.. Nice guy and great tiburon ride...ada tu arah website durang ketanya...tiburonbrunei.blogspot.com. He was the 1st yang masang tomato kit d Brunei..and he suggest we should join the club..coz durang kan kumpulkan tiburon with toato kit for photoshoot.

At the same day we met alex, we met another tiburon with tomato on di Hi-way..black with HID lights warna biru..angel eyes jua...my wife freaks out and angan2 kan pasang RIM apa...hehehe...and i suggest pasang turbo kit..hehehe..but just a plan...kan pasang Tien (c Herry ni punya pasal) and SSR rims...what kind and pattern not yet determine..heheheh..

the 5 day KK trip was great..1st we stay at sutra habour..something lyk empire but much better..i mean so much better..but kejauhan saja if kan k town nya..the 1st three days kami d sutra..then move to one-borneo arh Mecure...the room arh Mecure is great..have that modern/contemporary (sp?) look.

My advice if k KK..plan ahead before arrive sana..after the 3rd day..we have nothing to do...which force us to shop...heheh...and eat and eat..and eat smpai balik..hahahah..

Multi-Touch!

2009-02-15T20:44:00.005+08:00

I'm really crazy about touch screen. Its the new way how we interact with the technology.. I remember a friend told me..."you're obsess with touch screen.." Hee~ i guess she's right...

The touch obsession started when i 1st saw minority report...i tough that kind of technology was impossible..then it fades away...and the closest things to it is touch phone..at 1st PDA is not my thing..then the touch obsession came when i first held the Iphone...late 2007. Got fascinated by the way you can zoom in and zoom out the picture using two finger.

Now..i'm fascinated with multi-touch even more when i watched quantum of solace. The part where they use the table as their "document viewer". Explain no more...see it for your self..

What a sunday...

2009-02-15T19:51:00.001+08:00
