NO BUNS NO LIFE

Singapore and it’s Beauty.

fupper — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 04:00:58 +0000

I have been reading Singapore’s history for a few days now.

The very in-depth book, Singapore: A Biography, is a recommended read for all Singaporeans, no, it’s a necessary read for all Singaporeans

Okay, that is actually not the point of this post. What I was going to show you is, the beauty of the modern and cosmopolitan Singapore.

Not sure where is this. Probably one of the flower plantations in Singapore.

Singapore Flyer
The Singapore Flyer is currently the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Described by its operators as an observation wheel[1], it reaches 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m (541 ft), and is 5 m (16 ft) taller than the Star of Nanchang and 30 m (98 ft) taller than the London Eye.

Singapore Botanical Garden (i think it should be right)
The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a dynamic and living monument to the foresight of the founding fathers of Singapore. Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and a keen naturalist, established the first botanical and experimental garden on Government Hill (Fort Canning Hill) in 1822, shortly after his arrival in Singapore. He aimed to introduce cultivation of economic crops such as cocoa and nutmeg.

St James Power Station
Built in 1927, it was Singapore’s first coal-fired power plant supplying electricity to nearby shipyards, industry and residences.
Today, St James Power Station is a music and nightlife venue in the HarbourFront area of the Bukit Merah Planning Area, Singapore, near VivoCity.

Not sure what hotel is this

Chijmes (My guess)
The history of Chijmes is a marvellous mosaic. It reveals beautifully that love does in fact conquer all. Its odyssey from struggling convent school to resplendent living history was never easy, but then most worthwhile journeys are always challenging. Chijmes was once the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), established in 1854.
Today, it’s a place of fine dining and a relaxing nightlife.

Looks more like a Balinese themed massage but well, that’s Cosmopolitan Singapore.

Swissôtel Singapore
Swissôtel The Stamford at 226 metres with 73 floors, is the tallest hotel in the south of Asia and the eighth tallest hotel in the world. The hotel is also the seventh tallest building in Singapore. It is located within the Raffles City complex and has 1,263 rooms, the most of any hotel in Singapore.

ROAD SAFETY: A Difference of 5km/h, makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE, video by Professor Ian Johnston.

fupper — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 04:00:36 +0000

“What you are about to see, will change your mind about speeding” – Professer Ian Johnston.

What do you think now?

Auto crashes are giant, complex things. There are lots of factors that influence the outcome, virtually all of them variable and dependent on human input and decision making. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t good at wrapping our minds around such a thorny ball of applied physics. Australia’s Roads and Traffic Authority has enlisted Professor Ian Johnston of Melbourne’s Monash University to break it down for the back of the class.

Pushing a tagline of “Please, Slow Down,” Professor Johnston brings his work at the University’s Accident Research Centre to bear with an effective and visually arresting demonstration of how big a difference five little kilometers per hour (that’s 3.11 mph) can make to a panic stop. It’s a message well delivered, but we would argue that good road safety is more about driving at reasonable rates of speed for the conditions (traffic, weather, road type, vehicle type and skill level).

Johnny Greaves WORLD RECORD Truck JUMP. 301 feet “Leap of Faith”.

fupper — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:43:47 +0000

Darn, i thought Travis Pastrana from Red Bull wa going to attempt 250 feet in his WRX STi.

Now it seems, Monster Energy has gotten ahead of Red Bull.

What began as a relatively calm morning in the southern California foothills just outside San Diego literally became the stuff Guinness Book of World Records are made of when Monster Energys Johnny Greaves came roaring down a dirt road at 105 mile per hour and launched his 3,800-pound, 800-horsepower TORC off-road PRO 2WD Toyota through the air over the length of an NFL football field.

Landing quite peacefully some 301-feet later despite the overall violent nature of the jump. Greaves looped back around and was met by his Monster Energy/Toyota Motorsports team and off-road racing teammate McGrath.

He made it look good, made it look easy. But that jump was frickin huge, said McGrath.

With a spectrum of measuring and surveying equipment on hand, Greaves added more than 100 feet to the previous 2WD distance truck jumping record of 193-feet set last year.

I was a little bit nervous, Greaves admitted the day of the jump. I woke up and I was going to go ride down there and look at the ramp and talk about what we need to do, but my brother was already in Jeremys horse barn tearing the truck apart and getting the gearing right and I was like, All right, its on!

With a gap of 200 feet (between the take-off and landing peaks), Greaves knew anything below 100 mph on the in-run would cause him to auger into the face of the landing. But with some spot-on mathematical calculations provided by his crew, and, believe-it-or-not, some tips on flying a truck like a dirt bike from McGrath, Greaves pulled off one of the most amazing motorsports distance jumps in history.

Yeah, you can really manipulate the flight of the truck with the rear wheels just like a dirt bike, said Greaves. Id actually hit the jump and rag the brake a little to get it to flatten out. Once I got the feel for that then I was like All right, Im good. Lets hit this wide open!

Wide open in a 800-horse, 351-cubic inch NASCAR Truck motor emits an awesome sound. But Greaves would be a bit impervious to that, with all attention focused on the take-off-point, then, in vain, to spot any discernable landmarks once airborne. It looked like a house in front of me, he said. And when I hit it, you were up there so high that I couldnt even see the ravine or valley until the truck started rotating down.

Touching back down onto McGraths property and into the pages of the upcoming Guinness Book of World Records Greaves and his team were elated with the Monster effort. And when asked if this at all compares to the thrill of racing Traxxas Off Road Championship (TORC) at places like Crandon (Wis.) and Bark River (Mich.) where Greaves is a household name, much like McGrath in Monster Energy AMA Supercross, the grin his face said it all.

Im not a stuntman or a jump guy, but Monster gave me the opportunity to do this and I took it, he said. Its the greatest thrill Ive ever had. You cant believe how long youre in the air, just up there in this massive truck floating through the air.

FHM China December 2009. Range Rover, Sexy Ladies and.. Soul?

fupper — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:25:52 +0000

This is a really weird editorial. It seems to flow with a storyline but in a weird fashion.

But such fantasy photoshoot is what interest me

Click on the images to for enlarged version

Just realised that they do quite a few editorials on car. Must be product endorsements. Nevertheless, they are great! Stay tuned for more

Stormtrooper DANCES in SINGAPORE’s Raffles Place & Orchard Road with Japanese Maids!

fupper — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 07:48:35 +0000

The stormtrooper in guise is Dannychoo, author of one of the most successful blog in Japan, and probably the most successful otaku blog in the world.

Part 2 has him in Orchard Road!

Raffles Place seem to be the location of choice for PR stunts, marketing gimmcks, and well, attention addicts — we’ve seen the flash mob dance by HTC, and now a solitary figure pops out in the center of Singapore’s business district to shake some heads and roll some eyes. Danny Choo, better known as the “Dance Tokyo Trooper” in blogging circles, made a special appearance all decked out in full Star Wars attire.

Danny Choo runs one of the most widely read English blogs in Japan at www.dannychoo.com, where he writes about Japanese pop culture, anime-related stuff and life in Tokyo. One of his more famous acts was dressing up as a Stormtrooper from Stars Wars and dancing in various parts of Tokyo, and obviously the organizers of AFA’09 convinced him to get out his Storm Trooper costume for a spot of publicity.

At ANA’09, Danny will be speaking at the Asian Animation Conference as one of the key speakers on how companies could engage the anime generation and more. At the actual event itself, he would also be hosting several events as well, such as well as a showcase of his Mirai-chan related merchandise.

(NSFW) FHM China with Kitty Zhang in Aztec’s Fashion.

fupper — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 09:10:15 +0000

Classy, that’s what I like about FHM China.

In this editorial, classy-ness is the key and yes, it’s really well-done.

As with many other editorials I’ve featured on this site(look at the Related Posts below to get a general idea), there’s just something about Chinese way of photography that distinguish it from it’s western counterpart, forming a perfect amalgam of oriental and futuristic chic.

In case you don’t already know who is Kitty Zhang, here’s her Wikipedia page.

I wonder how many guys would actually try it on girls without getting molestation charges, LOL.

Never been a fan of Mac, and after watching this video, I am more assured of my choice

But it’s a good music video though. At least it’s catchy.

This is the video they made a spoof on:
