The LEGO Build With Chrome Project

2012-06-28T16:31:00.002+08:00

Putting together a large-scale toy brick structure at home without first being able to visualize how the pieces will fit together can be a bit tedious but the LEGO Build With Chrome project lets you plan out and construct your creation without having to take apart your progress if you make a mistake.

Developed to showcase the speed and virtual interactive qualities of Google Chome and celebrate LEGO’s 50th anniversary in Australia, the game lets users virtually construct brick structures on real plots of land. Once you select the area in either Australia or New Zealand that you wish to build on, you can then start putting your creation together out of digital LEGO bricks—so long as it is not offensive or a direct copy of another person’s design.

After you are finish building, you can save your progress and plot it on the map for others around the country to see.

Lital Mendel's Just One More Paper Necklace

2012-06-28T16:04:00.001+08:00

The Just One More… jewelry collection is filled with wearable art. A continuation of her fascination with paper, which was first explored in her Folds line, Israeli designer Lital Mendel has decided to take it up a notch. As her title suggests, she plays with paper in such a way that she creates long sinuous necklaces that beg the statement, ‘Just one more….’

Made up of hundreds of folded paper, the necklaces featured in the Just One More… collection often determine the snaking shape it takes on. Mendel writes, “It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment when instead of controlling the material, it begins to have a will of its own and to influence the design process. The creation of this collection always involves dealing with the conflict between the material and its ‘will’ and my intentions the designer.”

2012-05-16T15:49:00.005+08:00

Google Doodle Celebrate Teacher's Day today 16 May in Malaysia.

The document, known as the Razak Report after Tun Abdul Razak who was Education Minister at the time, has been the basis of education in Malaysia ever since.

Holga iPhone Lens By Photojojo

2012-05-10T17:06:00.003+08:00

Instead of buying a ton of lenses for one’s smartphone camera, one can simply purchase the Holga iPhone Lens by Photojojo that comes as a rotating ring of lenses that can be attached to the back of an iPhone. The fixture has a multicolored lens that can rotate above the iPhone’s actual camera lens and provide various tints to photographs. Some colors even have outlines of shapes such as hearts to add further interest to a photograph’s focal point.

It is made to fit right at the back of the phone and does not add much size so it can still be left in one’s pocket when idle. There are nine different lenses to rotate, making this accessory well worth it as it can do much more than any regular tinting app can do at the moment.

Suki-ya Shabu Shabu @ Tokyo Street,Pavillion

2012-05-04T16:19:00.000+08:00

Almost forgot about this post.This was happened on Chinese New Year.Suki-ya was our destination for our lunch during Chinese New Year.We had make a reservation before the day we go because every time passed by this restaurant always long queue outside.

Their lunch start from 11.30am-5pm.When we arrived at the restaurant, it was still quite empty but come 12.30pm, the place was packed with diners. Service was excellent despite the restaurant being full house, our tea was replenished without us having to signal any of the waiting staff over and so was our meat. Definitely a satisfying lunch experience.

They have 4 tasty soup base to choose from.Shabu-shabu-Low calories and light on the palate, wafer thin slices of meat dipped into simmering konbu broth and cooked for a few seconds is popular in shabu-shabu.a light clear savoury konbu broth), Sukiyaki- Cooked in a sweetened soy-sauce broth, sukiyaki is a favourite of both the young and old.i (sweetened soy sauce broth), Miso soup- Miso is made from fermented soybeans, full of antioxidants like vitamin E, as well as protective fatty acids(salty), kimuchi- A mildly spicy soup made with authentic Kimchi base, spicy Miso and various vegetable base. Enjoy it with spicy Miso sauce, hot pepper or garlic.( the one i like the most).We went for 4 type of soup base since we serve two pot for a table with 6 person of us.

This mini guide to enjoying a delicious sukiyaki plus info and tips on how to cook the meat and vegetable proved to be very useful.

miso soup and kimuchi soup

There is a choice of 3 meats here, beef, lamb and chicken. The Australian beef and lamb are cut in paper-thin slices.You can order as much as you can eat.I not really fancy with meats so i go for their healthy vegetable bar.

The healthy vegetable bar is always stocked with fresh greens, premium pasteurised eggs, noodles, mushrooms and tofu. They have specially made dipping sauce available or you can always create your own favourite sauce. They also have an a-la carte menu with choices ranging from tofu to the ever popular salmon sashimi.

We claimed the sukiyaki soup look alike Bak Kut Teh

On top of the free flow meat and vegetables, you also get free flow ice cream to end the meal. How awesome is that. Vanilla, chocolate or a mixture - take your pick and go wild!

The price for buffet is RM29.80++ for lunch (120 min) and RM39.80++ for dinner (120 min). (Additional 15mins block at RM3.50). The price excluded of drink,we order green tea(free flow) only at rm2.Very reasonably priced, no wonder this place is packed! The staff will informed you before the 120 minutes has reach.

Building Covered In Clothes

2012-05-04T15:25:00.003+08:00

This unique building was temporarily covered in ten thousand items of discarded clothing in Brick Lane in East London. The idea came from Marks and Spencer to raise awareness on the amount of clothing that the UK citizens throw out every five minutes. Close to ten thousand, that’s how much.

Marks and Spencer’s idea is simple, instead of throwing out old or unwanted clothes M&S wanted everyone to bring their old unwanted clothes to their stores where it would be deposited in a ‘shwop’ drop box. What’s a ‘shwop’ drop box? Well the clothing you drop off will be passed on to their partners, Oxfam, an international non-profit organization that help people in poverty.

Mimic By Lucio Arese With Music Of Yu Miyashita

2012-05-04T15:18:00.000+08:00

Mimic is an experimental video directed by Lucio Arese with music of Yu Miyashita.

An hyperdense block of objects driven by music collides, collapses, spread into random formations and disintegrates at frantic speed.

Shot into a cattle market, the film rides the verge between nonsense, random noise and organic, structured audiovisual events, enhancing the plastic clashes of a digital inserted foreground into an old and rusty environment.

Humorous, lunatic, cartoonish, nightmarish, Mimic is an attempt to reach a complete unity between music and motion picture in an epoch of violent changes.

Video Puzzle Video for "We Are Young"

2012-05-04T15:07:00.003+08:00

In perhaps the most popular video cover yet, up-and-coming YouTube user MysteryGuitarMan has made an eye-catching and clever iPhone ‘video puzzle’ of newcomer band Fun.‘s infectious debut single, ‘We Are Young.’

Adopting a technique that can only be described as puzzling, MysteryGuitarMan uses images and sounds from multiple iPhones to make a seamless music video that syncs quite nicely with the original lyrics and tone of the single. The video used in the YouTube clip blends across the phones with an amazing amount of accuracy, while the lyrics of the song are literally spelled out across the four phones. Constantly in motion, the carefully synchronized devices are truly capitivating.

Incredibly creative and bound to further popularize an already well-known track, MysteryGuitarMan’s video is something to look out for. With more than 800 000 views so far, it’s clear that there is an audience for the video puzzle.

Vans Iphone Case

2012-05-04T15:00:00.001+08:00

The Vans iPhone case is one of a kind. The iconic shoe company recently put out a promotional design inspired by their classic shoe's soles. In fact, if one were to look just at this pattern, they could be forgiven for thinking it was actually a shoe.

The side of the casing even mirrors that which is found on Vans shoes. The clean white trim encases the phone, contrasting surprisingly well with the brown, waffle-like pattern on the broad sides to produce a retro 70s aesthetic that yet maintains modern sensibilities—it is an iPhone case, after all.

Originally, the case was to be simply a one-off promotional design. Then a few bloggers got wind of it and lobbied the skater clothing and accessories giant to make more.

It’s currently sold out from all Vans stores, but can be found on eBay for around rm100++

The BMC Impec Automobili Lamborghini Edition Racing Bicycle

2012-05-04T14:52:00.005+08:00

The BMC impec Automobili Lamborghini Edition is a two-wheeler that will afford its owner some serious bragging rights.

A joint venture between two of the biggest names in cycles and sports cars, the cycle boasts unbranded carbon fiber rims and a suede seat. It is an upscale reworking of BMC’s Aventador LP 700-4, with few revisions and a far higher price tag. The luxury cruiser will set purchasers back almost $30,000, which is cheap in the world of the high-end sports car company, but steep for a foot-peddling variety of vehicle.

The black and orange number is as elusive as it is decadent, as only 30 of the racing bikes will be released to the public. While it doesn’t seem to offer anything overly spectacular in terms of riding or handling, anyone who has dreamed of cruising around in a Lamborghini but doesn’t quite have the cash flow to afford it may consider picking one up.

Polaroid Z340 Instant Camera

2012-05-04T14:47:00.000+08:00

The Polaroid Z340 Instant Camera is a mixed breed device that gives you the benefits of both analog and digital photographic methods. With traditional Polaroid cameras, once you take a picture you have to immediately print it out; the Z340 fixes that problem by incorporating a digital screen and editing features into the device. This means you can have a look at your shots and fix them as you please, before you print them. The device also allows you to insert an SD card, which is great for storing your pictures.

By putting a new twist on an old idea, the Polaroid Z340 Instant Camera is a great device for those who love the look and feel of the old-school, but enjoy the benefits of advanced technology.
