My Signature Creation...

Yeah, the creation that got me nominated by the APICTA Awards. I was only given a week to prepare and touch up eveything... Eventually I rebuilded it... Haiz... Programming is a huge mess that time... Programming software got prob, 3D modelling software also turn me down... Dah hampir "ki siao" leh. Haha.

I used to inspire a robot that can help to... Somehow... Guard things? CCTV came to my mind... But I wanted to have a so called "Smart" system that is simple and affordable. So I will make use of camera, instead of CCTV then. The "Smart Guard" system will snap a picture and trigger a loud alarm when it detects something unusual - Loud noise or abnormal distance level. Just placed it behind your doors or windows. It will capture the face of the... Person... Haha.

Build with shock and shatter resistance material... gua... Camera will be protected. (I didn't afford to try it...) To retrieve the camera, you will need a passcard. It can recognise 16 passcards = 16 Users. I'm using binary system. Besides, to activate and deactivate the "Smart Guard" system, you will need to swipe passcard and enter a sequence of code, so that the "Person" can't deactivate the alarm that easily gua... Battery and camera chamber is protected from dismantling purpose. Enough explanation dy lar... Later people sleep in front of com leh... Wan to say somemore? Can... This can actually attracts children leh, so pasaran no prob. (My target its not for real industry purpose yet, just as a amateur security system). Put it inside your locker, near your room's door, so that you get to know who entered your room before. Haha... Needless to say: Turn off the flash k? Plug your camera and this robot to an adapter k? (The robot can tahan quite long without adapter actually). So... Presenting Guardbot! Haha...

Digitalised and non-digitalised... What's the difference? Virtual and Reality...
Took up 2 days to do the 3D modelling... Haiz... Anyways, post end... Chaozz...

My Nomination...

Nah... What's the problem with the Paint?!?!? Lost 5 nomination...


Still remembered another 5 nomination is "Never Gonna Let You Go" from Sergio Mandes, "Just when I Needed You Most" by Randay Vanwarmer, Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack for "Tonight I Celebrate My Love"... Celine Dion for "My Heart Will Go On"

Notice that nearly all songs are that "old"... I'm living in the 80 + 90's gua... Found any common between all of them? Ans: All are love songs! I do found those old songs meaningful... (But not too old please). Some really requires your 'experience" to understand the song... Haha... A bit challenging... Perhaps I'm different from others! I'm not updated... So don't suddenly ask me some korean singers name like dunno what Kim Jeun what or some sort like that... Lols...

Come and go..


Its like an airport... At here is the place where we have people arrive and depart in our life... We welcomed them with a good impression of us... And we hope that when they depart, they will remember us... Thats typical... But in some cases,perhaps they departed in rush and, without us nor them realised presence each other. This may not happen in airport, only occur in real life or 'reel' life. What you think?

Swt cases....

Taken this flyer from somewhere... Perhaps we really need to improve our Malaysian English language... English words are still directly translated from chinese grammar... With my low standard of english also can spot some error... How about you?? Looks like vision 2020 is still really far for us... To become something like Singapore... Comment on it...

Motorcycle exp...

Few days ago just went here and there to ask about driving. Well, i'm going to class on 29th to sit there for a 5 hours, YES, 5 HOURS talk... Bla... Bla... Bla... My parents said: "Undang is always correct...(Or true la)" But I totally disagreed... My quote: "Undang is only applicable when accidents happen, and people do not want to alert police for that...And they solved it with money lor...Credit card not accepted..." A very good way to make instant and easy money in this financial crisis gua. Haha!

So then... Unlike most of my friends, i'm going to take motorcycle and car... So, my parents said that if I have free time in the evening, which I always have... But not all the time of course... I can use my parents motorcycle and have some "training" around my housing area...

We started on today then. I alerted my mom that I'm going to learn today... She said before: "It's like riding a bike la, just that you wouldn't need to pedal... It's that easy... Just turn the knob and far you go... No need to cycle until you sweat+++"

So its evening... I pushed out the motorcycle to side of the road then... As usual, that heavy... Honda Super Cub 700... Erm, 0.7 cc... Not 700cc ah... So pushed it to the roadside... Then I have two "qualified" instructors helping me out... Haha... That bike can be considered showroom new... Bought it over from my cousin about... Arh, at least 10 years k? Haha... It's not frequently used, only "often"... Only for Short trips, like to market, or (seldomly) fetch me to tuition and all those errands gua...

Back to topic... Haha... Pushed the kep to the "Ready" position... "Neutral" gear light still off... Which is supposed to be on if your gear is at neutral position. Actually I'm prepared theoritically about the motorbike thingy... I even dismantled before the battery cover i think... Haha... And parents sometimes also teach a bit a bit mah... My dad commented... "The gear is neutral dy (While stepping on the gear to ensure its neutral), just that the battery died a bit..." So I started the motor with my hands turning the accelerator and start with with legs ah... At that era no such thing as pressing a "Start" button will start the engine... First attempt failed, But I learned fast (I had started it before though). For the second shot the engine comes into alive... The "Neutral" light is on, if i don't release the accelerator... Looks like it needs a bit charge huh?

Then my dad say: "Release the accelerator la..." Erm, if i release the accelerator, the engine will go die... He insisted. So I released lo... Before the engine goes die, he placed his hand on accelerator again, perhaps I'm right... He then turn the accelerator till the motor engine... Haha... 60 houses can hear gua... So it's warm up... Then they teach here and there lo... About the signal switch, lights switch, Front and rear brakes, gear and accelerator. I sat at my dad's back and he showed me one time how he change gear and all those... I can't see anything actually... Haha... So he made one u-turn and came back. I tried to observe what he did, of course.

Now my turn... So i got up the motorcycle... Felt very scared lo... And nervous... Don't know what to do suddenly. I thought the rear brake ahould be on the left and gear should be at right, but it's inverted... Apala... Of course right leg more active ma, gear should be on right rite? Common sense la... Stunted there like few minutes observing here and there. Then I stepped on the gear... 1st gear... Hmm... Tried to accelerate... The starting went well until I suddenly placed a bit more energy to the accelerator and suddenly lurch backwards... Haha... the experience is not bad though, my leg suddenly felt like nothing to do! Perhaps i gotta accept the fact that the bicycle's pedal had already switched to brakes and gears gua. Haha. So now the engine is roaring loudly, time to change gear I suppose, but I don't dare mah, I released the accelerator a bit. Whole motor and body lurch forward... Apala... Susahlah macam ini... I made an u-turn... (With my legs on ground, lols...) Went back and asked my parents why the motorcycle jerks like that if I release the accelerator... Answer lies beyond your imagination... Use the second gear la...

I went another round with first gear... I scare i'll lost control if I use the second gear as I felt that first gear is quite fast. No choice, lets try... Accelerated only like... 20km/h, changed to second gear... Wah... Too fast! Release the accelerator... Wah, cool! Not much jerk dy... I'm in control now... Haha... Then suddenly a car turns in... Apala! I braked with my front brake lo... Won't really stop one and brings the motorcycle like sitting on the horses on merry go round. Kept on going up and down like what... Then my parents commented again, use the rear brakes... I went to another street and tried the rear brakes... Not bad wo... Then repeated a few rounds for practice... Now i'm able to make u-turns without placing my legs on ground!

My mom asked me to go practice around this few streets which has less car... And keep left lo, so no need see traffic from right ma... Haha. So I started with my neighbouring street, then going bigger and bigger... At one junction I braked like what leh... The car like so fast! Emergency rear and front brake... I think whole neighbourhood can hear the braking sound between the brake pad and the wheels loh... Erm, my speed only like 40km/h... So no prob loh... Lols.

I went on... Then got 1 part... I'm on the left ma... Right? All the cars oppositing me kept to my lane woh.. I was like... Huh? This is not GTA ma... Its not America or Germany here... I remembered clearly that out country uses left driving system leh.. I had been sitting beside driver in car for my whole life... And I doubted I did wrongly... I'm on my lane right? I didn't really care, I just make sure I switched on my lamp so that the cars can see me... But I doubted they even notice me even if I had used beam light. Went back and asked my parents bout this, I'm right... Haha... Now you can see people actually does not follow the law (Only beginners gua, and during the examiner is beside you, Lols!)

Then it started to rain a bit... So I have no doubt, its getting dark also... I went back... I'm going to practice again... It's fun actually... No need to pedal like bicycle dy... Dah upgrade dah... Lols. Next time I'll go with the basics, I gotta start to familiar myself with signal switches... But I dare to say, if you use signal at this neighbourhood, people will thought you're mad (Unless got car around you of course)... And I still remember my parents mentioned about hand signal. Erm, I think if you used hand signal and place like Kampung Cempaka when there is no vehicle near you, perhaps whole kampung will think you're mad... Give you a situation, you're on a street, 1am perhaps? Now you wanna slow down and stop... You give the "slowing down" and the "stopping" hand signal... People will think you're waving to... To who ar? 1 am woh, no people woh, then they thought maybe you can see something that they can't see... Haha...

One of my next post will be about APICTA Awards... Stay tuned... Lols... (I'm currently a bit busy with my school stuffs, may post up a bit late...)
