Sunday Post - we are hungry!

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Sat, 26 May 2012 15:31:00 +0000

Malioboro located nearby Bali Airport was our first meal ever in Bali. Famous with their pressurized cook chicken (ayam tulang lunak), you can actually chew and eat the bones of any chicken dishes.

We never even bothered taking images of ourselves as we were too hungry. Hence...

the food... gone!

Oh if you ever visit Bali, your local tour guide will usually bring you here. It could be a little expensive but It was okay for the 6 of us. (About RM30/person)

The food is delicious and that explains why we came back for lunch before we left Bali. More coming!

Photoshop CS6 - the first thing I did

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Fri, 25 May 2012 03:59:00 +0000

Utterly excited about the new Adobe CS6 by Adobe SEA. Finally I've downloaded my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Golden Masters from adobe.com and the very first thing that got my eye balls stuck to my LED is the splash loader with PS.

I can't stop looking at it and decided to take a snapshot and look at it forever... haaaa! I'll be sharing what's new with these great new app bundled together with Graphic, Web and Video tools.

See what's bundled in the Masters Collection here

Armani Code Sport by Giorgio Armani - View it here

Another one of my favourite web which I came across. Nothing crazy or technical but I love the way each section is presented.

It has an easing effect representing each section with a cover.

Great motion effects, simple navigation and of course loving the 3D placement of every components.

Yet another wonderful flash website. Check them out.

Bali, coming soon

Its all coming up next, stay tuned.

Web Wednesday - Montessy

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:01:00 +0000

....I'm starting a brand new trend on my blog call Web Wednesday where I'll feature some brilliant looking web base not only on design but interesting navigation system and interactivity as well. Many has moved away from flash websites but hey the world don't only run on iPads and iPhones ya.

site : http://www.montessy.com/

I think this site has great combination of large videos with great motion graphic effect and mouth watering photo shoots.

Creativity bringing life into Montessy's web with a pinch of fine arts. I love the execution style here.

Everything seems so graphical and where is the interactivity? Reveal your power baby!

This site has all the great points from good design, great motion graphics, and not forgetting interesting navigation concept.

Sunday Post - Testing out my Puma FAAS 300

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Sun, 06 May 2012 04:17:00 +0000

....So I decided to take my PUMA FAAS 300 to the test.

Went to Sunday Pyramid for the Puma FAAS Finale (technically it is still on right now, do drop by as today is the last day)

So we have to step as FAAS as your can on the LED dance floor when your brick comes to you.

I think with my FAAS 300, i did pretty good lah! It's light, comfortable and easy to move. Go try one on and play the game. Oh and you'll be given a RM20 voucher if you do. So before you buy your FAAS shoes, play the game for the voucher ya! Win or lose you'll get one.

And if you are a little shy, drag your friend with you as this game can go up to 4 players at one time.

Well what are you waiting for, go try and get one out today! Or like NOW before it all ends today at Sunway Pyramid, just next to New Zealand ice cream. (one floor below PUMA outlet)

Happy Sunday!

Taang Shifu Sunway Pyramid

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:52:00 +0000

We had this place on our eating list for quite a bit, I think everybody should have an eating list because when you have that "what to eat ah?" thought, you can refer to your eating list.

Above is the Royale Chicken Barrel. I guess its the only dish that is nice, for the money we pay for lar that is.

Above is the Cod dish, ermm 2 things nice about this dish. 1. The presentation, 2. The broccoli. Haaaaaa! The cod a bit fishy lah.. don't like.

According to the waiter's recommendation, this is good wor... So so only lar k.. For the price we pay for, i think we could have eaten really nice sweet and sour crab with "mandao" deep deep in the sauce. ahhhhhhh...

RM130. *Sweat*

When TOMTOM Meets Mo

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Tue, 01 May 2012 05:25:00 +0000

More images of the new baby's baby's baby. I've got 3 babies to take care of now. Explains everything haaa!

This is the first time our family adopted 2 doggies at one time. We did pretty good with Mo so we decide to take on another responsibility. From the day Tomtom came home, he thinks that MO is his toy. He keeps chasing after him everytime he wakes up.

The only time MO has a little bit of time off is when TOMTOM sleeps... not to worry coz he sleeps for 3 hours, gets up for 10 minutes and chase after MO and then 3 hours of sleep again. Pretty good for MO's diet plan.

So far the both of them is doing great, MO is like his big brother. Hopefully MO shows a good role model besides being too fat lar k!.. haaaa!

Tomtom getting his 3 hours sleep again. Gonna get his puppy haircut this weekend.. weeeee!

Sunday Post - Newest Family Member

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 15:46:00 +0000

Well it's about time Mo has a little brother and today me and the gf finally brought the little one home. We now have Mo and Tomtom.
The cutest part of this little fella was when we signed the papers. Before that he was jumping and barking all so hyperactive. Once we got the paper signed, he dozed off straight away!

This little fella will be pretty dramatic I can assume. The first thing he did when I brought him home was to jump on Mo. Mo panicked! haaaaaaaa!

These two rascals is going to be entertaining.

My method of living life is simple, make as much money as I could doesn't matter how much but as long as I did my best and it was worth it. Find a person I can spend the rest of my life with and buy a house.

Not necessarily has to be big, comfort is what I seek... but if i've got a little extra why not right?

Now its time for inspirations, after all i've got 2 of the things done ...

Toyota Prius C

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:14:00 +0000

It has been a great pleasure to have worked with such respective and not forgetting the market pioneer of automobile Toyota. Cruz Events is honoured to represent such an esteemed organization to organize an event for them.

This was taken at Alamanda's roadshow.

The pretty Toyota girls throughout the roadshow, and it's not a visual effect they really are. Next to it the cute little orange bug is the latest Prius C. Imagine how much a smaller compact Hybrid car can save?

It does work, I guess U should look into one of these too since it's good for everyday driving right? I think the girls answered me already.

Do-Re-Mi goes
Whaaaatt?!?! I wanna be the first to sit..
Yeaaaaahhh I just wanna do this all the way in the car...
It would be so cool my face will be blown off its cover.

Sunday Post - It's going to be relaxing

noreply@blogger.com (simonso) — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:51:00 +0000

Not very often I get to travel as work requires me to be there... all the time. I guess that's what you get yourself into when you decide to start your own. Some say I have work delegation problem, and I think I seriously do.

It is like your child, you wouldn't want to leave them unattended. Then again its just me with a small little design studio at VectorBros (www.v-b.my)

Well it's time I take some time off... soon.

Have you taken some time off lately?
