LEGO now takes shape of guns.

Found this online - and got me really interested... hehehehe LOL.

We all started on LEGO blocks that have taken the shape of our deepest desires. I remember a friend crafting everything from a Ferrari to a topless fairy (distorted) with LEGO blocks. As time went by these innovative playthings have shaped into serious artforms. Now this has mutated into becoming something that brings more destruction vibes than the usual build and let build ideology. Guns! Imagine guns shaped to be as lifelike as can be represented with blatant inspiration in design and build.

I fancy some serious business being made out of this. Imagine bold replicas in the hands if you young ones as they learn hardcore army stunts and routines. Badass indeed.

LEGO is no longer a kids' toy, isnt it?

It is going to be at least a year until you will be able to lay hands on the Blackberry Curve Touch so lets just amuse ourselves with some rumored specs. Of all the phone will be called Malibu and will be featuring CDMA - EvDo Rev A connectivity. It is going to be driven by a Qualcomm MSM 8655 800MHz CPU and feature 5 MP with HD Video recording capabilities and 3.25" Display bearing 480x360 HVGA resolutions. The rest are pretty much industry standard specs. Both pricing and actually availability is yet to be announced.

The Sony PSP2, codenamed NGP in Malaysia!!!

The PSP2 is finally here. Sony revealed its brand new PlayStation Portable at an event in Tokyo yesterday, giving techgeeks and gamers - (thats all of us, isnt it?) our first official look at the PlayStation maker's next bold foray into handheld gaming. Here are the first details....

Sony confirmed many of the features of the PSP2 that we've already heard in the form of leaks, rumor and speculation. Sony boasts that the new PlayStation Portable is as powerful as a PlayStation 3. For now, Sony is officially calling the new PlayStation Portable by its codename, Next Generation Portable or NGP. It will be out this coming Summer I guess.

The Specs include a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 5-inch touchscreen OLED display with 960 x 544 resolution, dual analog sticks (not nubs as on the current generation), 3G, WiFi, GPS, a rear-mounted touchpad, the same accelerometer / gyroscope motion sensing as in the PlayStation Move, an electronic compass, and cameras on both the front and back!!!

Games will come on "new media," not UMD anymore, but we're unclear on what sort of flash memory is being used. Sony's rather proud of the fact it's offering the world's first dual analog stick combo on a portable device, though we're more geeked about the quadrupling of pixel count from the original PSP.

The New Game Media.

The new console's UI will be called LiveArea, which has a bunch of vertically navigable home screens and built-in social networking through PlayStation Network. You can jump between games and the LiveArea without losing your progress and comment on your buddies' great feats of mobile gaming.

My Canon Powershot G10 is complete! =)

*YESSS!!!!!!!! My Canon G10 is finally complete!!!!!! =)

Remember I had been asking on Twitter where and what accessories to get for my Canon G10? Yes I admit the camera might be considered quite cold, considering the fact that Canon has already released Canon G11 and now, Canon G12 already. But to me... the Powershot G10 has been a very good tool for me, and I still love it!!! =)

Another shot of the Canon Powershot G10. =)

...guess what I got from Taipei... after searching frantically around KL/PJ for some of these - I decided that I wanted to get my accessories from Taipei instead! Hence, I got the Nissin flash, the lens extension, and the other 'lens' thingy as well. (sorry dunno what its called.. LOL)

This is how my Canon Powershot G10 looks like now.

A lot more canggih right? hehehe *woooots*

Smurfs' Village for iPhone/iPad - The Cheats. =)

Probably about 2 weeks ago, I downloaded The Smurfs' Village game for my iPad; it was pretty addictive at first.... but then after awhile, I was beginning to feel that the game was taking too much time and was too tedious to play =P

The Smurfs' Village.

Anyways, my friend Cai Lin wanted to know of a little cheat that I got to know just a few days ago... I have decided that... instead of telling her, I'm going to blog about it for all of you as well =)

First - you have an empty farm.

Plant some crops... say Potatoes, which takes 24 hours.

What do you usually do after you've planted the above 24-hour crops?

You would wait til tomorrow same time to harvest...

However, that is the RIGHT way to play the game.

But there is a slight flaw in the game though.. you could harvest your crops within the next 1 min!

First - go to Settings, and then go to Date & Time.

This is today's date.

Change the date to 24 hours later... (or any other duration depending on your crops)

VOILAAA!!!! Your plantation/farm.... are all ready to HARVEST!!! =)

See... you get to harvest your crops immediately - and also get to level up faster as well!!!

Before you know it, your iPad or iPhone date/time would have gone a whole year or two passed.

So far, I've decided to stop at Level 22, Jac stopped at Level 25.

...really cant see much point in the game though =(

Anyways, if you're on my Facebook, do check out my 'village' ya. =)

My Nintendo Wii.

Last week - I got an early Christmas present from Jac - it came in a massive box. I was wondering what it was... and then I unwrapped the present... wow... it was a.... NINTENDO Wii!!!!!!!! =)

Okay I know some of you may wonder - wahh this Eric damn outdated dont have the Wii - now only get... but truthfully speaking - the Wii now makes up a full collection that includes the Sony Playstation3, the Xbox360, the PS2, the PSP as well as the Nintendo DS!!! =) Eeeee I am such a gadget freak isnt it?

Anyways, this is the Wii =)

Another angle.... =P

Hehehe.... Christmas present comes earlyyyy..... =P

Sony Playstation Move.

In about 10 days time, SONY will launch and release their latest product - I would say, it will take its competitors billions and billions of dollars worth of research to top Sony's latest offering - its called the SONY PLAYSTATION MOVE! =)

Anyways, I shall cut the words and go straight to the pictures...

Jason Chan and the SONY models... =P

I present to you... the Playstation MOVE.

During the preview - we were told that the SONY PS3 is the no.1 gaming platform right now in terms of sales. Not bad. To think that I got my PS3 2 years ago... okay lah... I also contributed to the sales... LOL.

Empathy, New Experience, Affordable and Various Softwares. The 4 key factors...

Jason and Shereen playing one of the games with the MOVE...

Shereen smacking some flies... Jason is busy checking his hair though LOL.

Brendan plays some golf... =)

MissBlueNeeNee and Botakai.

I shouldnt be showing this pic - I feel so big sized wei... OMFGWTFBBQ!

This just shows how big Jason and myself are...

A picture with Mr Cool...

Ahh... who can forget the hot models... hehehe...

Wait... where's my pics with them ar....

There it is... with the white PS3 somemore. =)

*The rest of the pictures taken from Shereen. *

Then after testing out Tiger Woods PGA Tour - I tag teamed with Jason to check out Time Crisis!!! Time Crisis was one of my favourite games back at the arcades... and I just couldnt pass along the opportunity to check it out here. =)

Another pose... ahahaha LOL.

Group picture...

Didnt win the lucky draw for the Sony Playstation Move - but I think I'll definitely get it when it comes out. Its a MUST!!! =P

Pusat Memancing Udang Tropicana.

There's this place near Tropicana - a prawning place that renovated and refurbished recently, and then they reopened on 31st of July 2010. We were looking for various prawning places to go to - and we thought we'll check this one out. =)

The new place - just before Merchant Square near Tropicana. =P

Anyways, after like a whole hour of trying to get prawns which I got NONE... yes, NIL.. Zero.. Kosong... KNN. I decided to try out their fish pond. I dont know what the fish is called in English - but in Cantonese it's called 'tong sat' - apparently a nice delicacy to go with porridge.

...after awhile, the fish were not biting too. =(

So, I tried something different... and then I got the fishes!!!!!!!!!!

See... skill anot? Hehehe LOL.

I caught three tong sats in total, of which I released all three back into the pond. Sorry, I dont know how to cook fish lah. Prawns still easy - fish... thats a whole different story altogether.

Pusat Memancing Udang T&R, Kota Damansara.

One of my favourite pastimes - which can make me happy at the same time also destresses me is prawning. What is prawning? Prawning is fishing for prawns... yes.. with a FISHING ROD. Haha.. Anyways, recently found a good place to prawn...

This however, was not the one. This place... I would say, was only so so.

The lobster to greet you as you enter.

The place at Kota Damansara - pretty near Kelvin's place.

And so, for that particular session, if I'm not mistaken, I only managed to catch two or three. I think its cos the place got not enough prawns for the many many customers. And one other thing I didnt quite like also... I felt there were too many mat rempits. Makes the place seem dodgy.

The atmosphere there... with all the prawning enthusiasts.

Okay I think caught 2 during that session... sienz...

Check out the *new* place that I went to - the returns were WAYYY BETTER!!! =)

Prawning session.

Okay I admit - I am feeling a little lazy to do a proper blog post today. Instead, I shall brag a bit about our prawning session. Haha. Anyways, I lost count of how many we caught today, but it does count to be about 40+. Today's session included @vin_ann, @sur3wyn, @damienloong (for awhile), the sister @rachaelleyong and bf, and then @melonlicious and @sakaireuben came by for awhile too.

All this... were planned at 6pm LOL. We started at about 8pm.

Our catch after about 2 hours.

...and then the cooked prawns - yim kuk style!!!

I think I want to self-proclaim as a prawning expert already ahaha... LOL. If the last time I managed 20+, this time with 12 I am quite satisfied. At least I still keep the cost per prawn at below RM3. Hahaha it is RM30 for 2 hours...

So... who wants to join me for the next prawning session?
