Rejected starwars idea

I guess life's hard being a designer. I mean, all of these are great ideas and most of them will become excellent products. I sure would go for the desk lamp and the wave battle scene scape if they can be found in the market.

Pika-Pi~

Got myself a new NDSL cause the R button of my older one is faulty. Well, since my old NDSL was black, I want a brighter colour for a change. There's two colours which got my attention - Lime green and Pikachu's yellow limited edition. Well, the box cover for lime green looks real attractive, but when the sales dude took it out, the whole thing looks really dull, something like olive green instead of lime green or yellow green. So I got myself a little pikachu for my new NDSL~ cuteness + ~~



Cute box~
Somehow I like yellow
A bit too yellowish, dont you think so?

Dont look down on this cute little pikachu logo... it cost 100 buck HKD
(a normal NDS cost 10xxHKD, lime green cost 12xxHKD, pika version cost 13xxHKD)

Vista SUCKS FOREVER~!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!
Been wasting at least one whole day trying to figure out how the heck can I install my USB card reader. WTF is wrong with vista?!?!?!?! I've tried plugging and unplugging the darn thing for like dozens of times and it still wont jack in. Gahhh cause of this stupid bloody thing I have not been downloading NDS games for like don't know how long. ZZZzzz... Well, microsoft provided one bloody solution, which provided no help at all except for wasting another two darn hours of my time. Microsoft suggested downloading and installing an update called KB940199 which they proudly stats on the website that it will eliminate any error occurred during installing of hardwares. Blehx, maybe they are right, maybe they aren't, but I NEVER did get to know of which cause when I download the update, it says the the update is not applicable for my system! I went and root through the installed updates to check whether I've got it in my system. Nope, nothing identical. Well, of course I know that there's two types of win6.0 systems, one being 32bit and the other 64bit. Just to play safe, I've downloaded and tried installing both. Both failed! Gah!!! What the heck is that... ? Well, there's only one more thing left to do, and that is uninstall every update, jack the reader in, install it, and redownload every updates. That works, but too bad there goes another 2 hours~~~!!!!!
Zzz... freaking vista... and now I have no mood to root through all those 500 NDS roms which I have missed during the absence of any micro SD card readers... great ... time to drench my head in ice...

Another lame thing


Letter to Mummy
Dear Mummy,
Camp has been great. I've learned
losts of merit badges, and Mr.
Smithicus told me I was better at
Bandaging and First Aid than
anyone he's ever seen! We also
get to see a gues speaker every
Wednesday. You should come -
then everyone can see that I'm
related to a famous wrapper!
The food is awful, though. They
don't know how to cook a decent
meal for us undead folk. I wish
someone would make the chef's
urn their keep. Really, its a pretty
grave situation altogether. In fact,
yesterday something on my plate
MOVED! I was really crypt out!
Anyway, enough about me. How
are you doing down there in the
land of sunshine and monoliths?
Still making money off that
pyramid scheme? Keep it up, and
you'll be Set for life!
Abedju Farewell,
Puniti the Unshriven, Jr.
Seriously, I am speechless.
Oh well, one thing I am certain is that I won't want to write back to the living when I am dead... or when I am an undead.

Rainbow + Umbrella

Came across this umbrella while having a stroll awhile ago. Been looking for something which can lighten the mood on a rainy day.Oh well, was looking for a fluorescent yellow or green umbrella (I have a pink one but I normally won't use it for obvious reasons) but I guess this works just fine. Hmmm, would be a good gift for the girl you like too, don't you think so? Attach a note or something saying something like this:

Believe - There's always a rainbow after every drizzle.
Oh well, just an idea. Don't mind me, really.


Should be fun walking under this in rainy days.
16 colours.
Cost: HKD $75

Pebble soldering

Went back to school for some workshop yesterday. Hmmmmm, been hell long since I last set foot on the school grounds (though I never wish to again =.=). Anyway, they taught us how to make some kinda mp3 player. Now, that sounds simple enough right (just look at the diagram and solder and you're done). However, here's the deal. Can you shape the molten solder into pebble like balls? I can =D


Left: My board Right: Demonstration board
Pebbles~ (though they looked kinda different in sizes...)
Nice pebbles?
Main board's pebbles
Reminds me of chocolates and sweets
oo oo oo oo
The one in the center got distorted by a senior...

Anyway, I would say that it's pretty easy to solder little pebbles. All the seniors didn't believe that such a soldering method will work (though nice looking), but it did~ And in honour of the pebbles, a name was given to this method of soldering - "球型焊接法". It works just like the demonstration board. Oh well, there was one or two detached point in the main board and things like that happened, but hey, at least its hyper lot better looking than the pre-made one and it feels a lot smoother. =P Guess I've learnt something useful after all ... wait, this wasn't taught by anyone... this was something which I came up with myself~ Now I finally can say that I've acquired some skills from the screwed up of a department at last~
Oh and if anyone one of you want these kind of joints to be soldered or simply want to learn how to solder these kind of joints, I'm your man =D

Gov uni > Private uni (sg)

The picture above is a page taken from an English specimen paper from UniSIM. Here is some of the abstract which I find quite interesting and rather contradicting.

They say obesity is linked to diabetes, but is there concrete proof of that? How
many of our fat children have diabetes? (F. 26, housewife)
Well, first of all, this piece of reading is about some Trim and Fit programme (TAF) which is conducted in school. I assume that the youngest possible age is 6 or 7, the age of primary school entry (if there's TAF programme in PAP kindergartens, you can go whoop their asses, I'll provide the gun fire). Anyway, please take a look at the age of the interviewee. Hmm, a 26 years old housewife huh? So it means that she got married before and gave birth at the age of 19 (considering that her kid just got into primary 1) ? Well, that's still physically possible. But wait, how about this?
Being fat is an epidemic? Well, not in my opinion. I think if you are fat, but
healthy, then it's OK. (F, 23, waitress)
Erm, if her kid is 7 (primary 1), then it would be 16 when she first gave birth ... hmm, oh well, still at a legal age, barely though. Anyone can also argue that she never mentioned anything about having her own kid or whatsoever, so she might not even be a parent. Alright, fine, even though this interview was put under the column labelled as "parents", that can still be true. But what about this?
In our Aisan culture, being fat is a sign of prosperity. Why can they leave the
fat kids alone? They should do something about those undernourished students
instead of making my son feel like a criminal just because he's fat. (F, 21,
Private tutor)
Apart from the fact that this passage is quite erroneous considering that it came out from a private tutor's mouth (I know it's fake but, its their responsibility to make it look real, right?), the age really look ugly here. 21 years old. Hmmm, if we minus 21 with 7, what will we get? ahhh, yes, here we go. 14! So is UniSIM trying to promote young motherhood or premature motherhood or what?! Come on man, use some brains when you try to fake a source or something =.="... And don't bloody hell come and tell me that the son she got was adopted. I will kill you if that's the last thing I'll do :@

Glock

Went to the same old model shop to get a new can of clear yellow paint because the old one seemed to smarch when its being dried. Oh well, got a pack of glow in the dark BB bullets on the way. On top of that, I've got myself a toy glock 17. I simply adores the shape and outline of glock series. Hmm, too bad its kind of weak...
