Assault of the Hello Kitty

Ok now for a beam shot of a different kind as requested by the "family".

This is the latest volley of Hello Kitty attacks ever since I sabohed the whale on his birthday by decorating his car in all sorts of hello kitty merchandises and forces him to drive the car in all it's pink liveries around NUS.



Yep.... yet another Hello Kitty product for my Birthday. This time they got a torchlight for me since they know my obsession for handheld portable lighting. Thanx HOH!! Even the batteries used to power them are Eveready Neow(cat) brand! Kaoz!!
What's more is that the lens of the torchlight has 2 types of Hello Kitty imprints I can superimpose down there making it a 'Cat Signal'!!!!!


As you can see HERE!!!!


And the signatures of the Saboteurs.....


Now let's have a brief recall of the previous Hello Kitty sabohs I had throughout the last 2 year....

A Hello Kitty painted -Helmet shaped Ash Tray.....


A Hello Kitty Table mat.....


A Hello Kitty Tissue Box cover....



Kaoz...at this rate we better head the hello kitty fan club in Singapore!!
And might as well get a membership card from Sanrio jp while we are at it...at least can make all this sabohing more affordable!!!

Was so afraid of pink previously that I feel abit nauseous just by looking at something pink for awhile.... not anymore.... thanks to plenty of training by my good Wushu "family".....

One word of advise for the Whale.......
the man-maid does not attack cos he does not attack small time.....HeheheHEHeHEHEEHEH
Wait...for.....IT!!!!

Green Laser Review

Ok I promise you this bro Mark and here it is:
A simple review of the oh so legal(read:boring) <5mW Green Laser from Luckyduck.


Mind the lousy picture but they are what I can get in this limited time.



As you can see at the side of the switch there is a indicator LED to show that your laser is working but kinda redundant as you WILL know it's working considering it's like only 2 inches away from the output end! At least it's this bit different from the other laser I got from Cyril. Other than that, they are identical, even the box and Toshiba AAA batteries that they come in. All these <5mW greenies must have been manufactured by the same China mass production factory who accepts orders from different customers so the only difference will be the few nit-picky stuff here and there. Here's how the packaging look like:




Nice chrome finish but easily stained when you grab it with your oily and sweaty hands. Well not that we care. When you operate this little bugger no one will be staring at the bright green dot that is being projected.

And it does a wonderful job at that. Wayyy brighter than a red pointer and even the beam path is visible under dark and slightly dusty conditions. Not so with the red one which is also <5mW.
Highly recommended to be used in astronomy classes for pointing out which stars accurately in the sky. I remember how irritating a few years ago when someone tried to point (using the evergreen finger) out a certain star in the sky during astro club camp.....
"hey see that star?"

Huh? which one?

"that!"

which one?

"argh!!"

But do not have the misconception that the beam path can be easily seen. As mentioned: DARK and dusty conditions.
It will still satisfy those that are used to the conventional red ones.

The pointer is conveniently shaped and sized like a pen, which you can conveniently carry around in your shirt pocket without looking like a science gadget geek. The chrome coating, which I find quite durable ( but please do not scratch it with your knife like HA II or III), looks quite exquisite too.

Here's a comparison with my dear SF A2(5.6inches).



And finally, a beamshot. Left to right: Cyril's greenie, <5mW Greenie and <5mW red




The pic is a bit deceiving. Don't have a SLR to play with the shutter speed, ISO, or exposure so the red one seems way brighter then the <5mW green which is not the case.

And here's a pic of the beam path of Cyril's laser:


Kinda dim and actually looked like the <5mW one's instead. But I think you get the pic, the higher the power, the brighter it is.

And just for the record, I bought a MiniMag AA pouch to store the pointers. Fits and feels just right!!

New--Year, bicycle, Urban Exporation

Beginning of the year has always busy.... New year, both International and Chinese, my bdae, and tons of other frens bdae, workload increasing...along with blood pressure....hahah...even now the holiday period is over with not another one for months to come!! This yr the calendar has bad holiday management... Squeezing all the long holidays together. Oh well guess I slacked enuf already. There's always weekends to look forward to.

Let's see...what happened lately?

Zuming the big fat whale manages to escape from his big bad supervisor and gets a new job.....along side China and India professionals....hope he wun pick up their accent.

Helped juniors do up a extremely simple but aesthetically nice banner for the open house...I`ll post a pic here soon.....

Bought a Eeyore soft toy from mini toons for Miz Chan....they do resemble in more ways than one hahaha!!
Oh no just noticed...valentine day coming...Help! Heh.


Just bought a new bicycle over the weekend...finally!!! Always wanted to cycle around esp at night but dun feel comfortable borrowing smeone else's bike. Like it alot even though it's just a entry level MTB. Tricked it up with my Inova 24/7 at the rear so it's various flashing/strobing modes can prevent sleepy drivers from kissing up my rear at night. Also installed two flashlight clamp at the front for a low powered but long runtime flashlight and a SUPER "burn-ur-corneas-as-I-flash-u" light for road hoggers!!
Wah... But see beh sueh......my first ride yesterday from depot rd to Jurong west was cut short... kind of entangled the chain and twisted one of the link near Biopolis. Kaoz. Had to call for help to transport the bike home. Guess my "first ride" curse came back. Something must go wrong on my first ride... be it motorcycle, lorry, or just a bicycle. Fortunately it's just a small prob. Going for overnight recce this sat for my ECO project. Hopefully it will be a smooth ride from here on.

As for my weekly Urban Exploring log: Went to this abandoned building which I have always wanted to go. been passing by it almost every weekday at work. So far this is the biggest one I have been to. And quite different too. After so many years of Urban Exploring, this is the first time I felt precarious about entering. Only later when I armed myself wif the brightest torchlights and in the company of 2 other frens, do I dare check the place out. The first few floors were normal, as with other sites, empty and dusty. Then when we got to the 4th storey, supposedly the office floor, did we encountered some people which I assumed to be illegal immigrants. Did not get to see them, fled too fast, they heard us and locked themselves into the rooms. Heard plenty of flustered commotion behind the locked doors. Think it must be the thousands of lumens that we projected that made them think we are govt ppl! Hate to think of the alternative stuff they could have done to us. Didn't need anyone to remind us that. We quickly got outta the area! Funny thing is that all of us heard the squeaky noise when they were in the room. Bangalahs with sneakers?? HaH!!
