Toylogy


Hey wazzup~!!! Friends and blog-walkers, it feels good to be back after a very very long hiatus. I've been so inactive that I was having a lil' bit difficulty signing in to my blog lol.

I was busy with my social and working life and primarily I kinda lost interest in blogging along the way. There are too much to handle online and as you know it, blogging takes up time.

Anyway, one of the things that I spent a lot of time, energy and money (*sniff* *sniff*) to make something meaningful out of my life is starting a business. And that business is designer toys. Not familiar of it? Then go wiki it or something teehee.

I actually planned to keep this secret from most people but *argh* one way or another this is going to come out.

In my opinion, this is not an easy thing to venture into considering the market that we are at (Malaysia, but we can see the potentials). Damn luckily, we have the internet which provides us the way to reach out to the rest of the world. It takes interests, determination, willingness to learn, risk taking and most importantly, I always reminded myself to never give-up. I don't care what turns out in the end, worse comes to worst at least I know tried and that experience alone is priceless. If I succeed, then chances are I'll be in Mary Land or someplace nice.

Before the start, I was doing a lot of thinking, researching and procrastinating. One of the things I knew I lack of is a serious partner of the same interest, same thoughts, understanding and most importantly for me is patience. Thank God one day I found this one person and better still he turned out to be my cousin, Jin. I felt that this is a miracle. I would like to think that God answered my prayer. It is even more amazing that Jin was the very first one who influenced me into getting interested in art and design from a very young age. He is one of the bros I look up to all my life. Everything happens for a reason? There were many signs already I guess.

So then both of us started from scrap. Time and time again we met many challenges and obstacles. We failed and we succeed. Long time since then has gone by but it felt like a blink. We only traveled a short distance but the destination ahead looks promising. So we will keep fighting and going and going...

Yadi yadi yado. We founded Toylogy. Check us out at our Flickr group Malaysia Toy Makers and Facebook page, Toylogy.

Fried Noodle with Cockroaches

One early morning, I bought a pack of fried noodle for breakfast. When I opened the newspaper packaging for the fried noodle, to my horror and funny bone I discovered something very offensive to the hygiene of the food. Guess what? SIX freakin' cockroaches just outside the other layer of the plastic packaging of my noodle!!!

See that?
No? Okay, zoom closer.


Very appetizing aye?


Goodness sake! I almost lost my appetite from that shocking discovery. This is how packaging using newspaper can go wrong because of the contents. It could deliver contradicting messages to people who are observant enough, like me.

Anyway, to get rid of the gross image, I flipped the newspaper for the other page and...

TADAA!!! Pictures of HB (Hot Babes)! LOLX
Increased appetite and satisfaction.


They say the grass is always greener on the other side. Right.

TrolololololololololololololoLOL~

I was checking out some funny stuff on the web and then I found this Youtube link titled Meet Satan (the guy on the thumbnail kinda looked pretty creepy so I guessed that was why for the title).

I clicked the link, load the video and boy, you know ‘Satan’ was actually a really good singer and funny guy! HAHAHA. Just kidding. Anyway, check out this gem I found below (You must watch it):

So how was that? I don’t know if you’ve seen this before or not, but it is popular enough to be known as the new Rick Roll. The song now is widely known as the Trololo song. For me it is one of the most EPIC songs evah. Don’t you think so?

FYI, this song was inspired by the original song, ‘I Am Glad I'm Finally Going Home’. The original song was vocalized and a video of Eduard singing it was made in 1966.

Don’t worry, that is not the real life Satan. This is Eduard Khil aka Mr Trololo or Trololo Man and he is a baritone singer from Russia. In real life, he is actually a very nice and humble person according to netizens.

Eduard-Khil

However, he only started to became famous when people started to take notice of this catchy song uploaded by don’t-know-who to YouTube in 2009. In 2010, Khil reclaimed the spotlight after being in obscurity in many years since retiring in the 1990s. All these helped re-ignited interest in Khil's singing career aside from his vocalised performance. Man, it took 44 years for him to get some worldwide recognition! do.Ob

Aside from this video, I found many other interesting remixes and parody of this song like:

Trololo Trance Remix by Bratan. Dance~ Dance~ I was hyped up by this sick remix.

Der Humpink (The Humping) by Christoph Waltz (This is one of the funniest parodies I’ve ever seen, Christoph Waltz ftw!)

Seems like Trololo Man lip-synched to the song in the video, maybe this is the real deal rofl.

 

Lyrics of Trololo:

Super Bling Bling Playa’s Head

Marquis Daniels Bling

Guess what, Marquis Daniels’ head is fully coated with diamonds. Not the actual head but the amazingly realistic replica of his head! IMO this thing is like one of the coolest accessories I have ever seen. Like nothing I have seen before. It’s like the coolest identity stuff for the wearer haha. I must say the replica head kinda looks better than his actual head lol.

profile_posed_marquis_daniels

I do not know why but the diamond chain reminds me of his highness the Moonwalker Robot:

Michael-Jacksons-moonwalker

This was created by a 3-D laser imaging process, over 1300 grams of 14k gold, white and cognac diamonds and life-like porcelain eyes, similar to those used in the Madame Tussauds’ wax museum figures. Jason of Beverly Hills’ the one who created this super piece. They say JBH is the new Jacob the Jeweller.

Must have cost Marquis an arm and leg but it would be alright as long as he still has a career in the NBA. This will guarantee to provide him the ultimate swag!

SO dope!

Most Handsome Beggar


Believe it or not, he is a real life beggar. He was spotted and dubbed as the most handsome beggar in the street of China. Indeed I've never seen such a cool looking and fashionable beggar. He has that bad ass korean japanese look. People have been wondering how could such a person ended up on the street. This guy definitely has some tragic story behind that look. All he ever wanted is to find a girl to love him when asked by one concerned pedestrian. This guy is dope!

Lucky or Unlucky?

Last month there was an event for promoting the skincare and weight lost products which the brand name is called Nano Philosophy. The celebrity who endorsed the brand is non other than Jack Lim who is a popular MyFM deejay. Initially I do not know who is this celebrity but friends around me who have more awareness of the Malaysian and Singaporean entertainment scenes than me were pretty excited about him coming to town. In case you do not know who is this dude, you might recall him acting in Ah Long Pte Ltd and Love Matters.

In the Love Matters, he acted as a playboy while in Ah Long Pte Ltd, he acted as an ah beng, one popular scene is the foot 'durian' match in the movie. If you still don't know, then I recommend that you go watch these movies as they are very entertaining.


When he was on stage, I could feel some kind of presence from him, like 'wow, he's a celebrity' kind of thing because we don't often get celebrities coming down. He's a smooth talker and humorous as expected of a good radio deejay. Besides that, another thing that came into my mind was this...I thought, 'Wow, he's quite plump in person!'. LOL I must say I felt humbled by his presence as I am plump myself (sad face).


Anyway, as I was taking pictures of the event, Jack came to me, grabbed my arm and dragged me unto the stage for a game together with 4 other volunteers. It was a really simple game but in the end I got tied up with one of the volunteers. Both of us had the same answer so we were asked one question as a tiebreaker. The one who gives the closest answer would be the final winner. So we were shown one of the products of Nano Philosophy. It was a 50ml serum skincare. The goal was to guess the price of that product.

Damn it, I was not familiar with female's skincare products and I was up against a girl. So I thought the price must be around the same with a standard perfume so I guessed RM250. But Jack teased that I must have never been to any kind of fashion events in my life (wtf like I'm some kind of stay-home otaku) and usually stuff like that would costs over a thousand ringgit (WTF, surprised face). So next the other finalist answered RM450. I knew I lost. The actual price is RM408 (for that 50ml serum) fulamak.

Luckily each of the contestants got a gift. The winner got the RM408 product and I was given the second prize gift worth RM308 woohoo! But it's girls' stuff and in the end I gave it to mom.

This little bottle of serum (50ml) costs RM308 walao. Using this will help stretch and smoothen out your facial skin. Botox no more~!

Nice. Body size almost the same XD

Two days later, the company I worked with organized an annual dinner and I won something again from the lucky draws haha! But it was girls' stuff again.....

I won this! (>_<) No wonder the MC of the night showed me this weird expression on her face and asking me whether I have a girlfriend.

I thought I won something good by seeing the disappointment on the faces of the MC and other organizers of the event (muahahaha). But when I got home and teared off the wrapping, to my horror I discovered....'WTF IS THIS THING!?!?'. I can't use that and my mom is too old for it liao. wtfwtfwtfwtfwtf It's useless and I should have won something better. Why the hell do I need a breast lift-up bra? Maybe I should give to the ah guas and increase the sizes of their man boobs. If not that bra would definitely help them to be 'straight'. Get what I mean? Check out the bold words of 'Be Straight Once to Wear' on the box. If not then probably it means that you have to be 'straight once in order to wear the bra' therefore not applicable for bi, lesbians or gays (no discrimination intended, just following instructions of the product).

The instructions to wear it are as simple as 1 2 3.

It was a time like that when I wish I have a girlfriend lol. This bra can increase the boobs size from A to D. Ha! Imagine that! *Bad Chai! Bad!*

In Order to Change...

In the process to change myself to become a new someone, firstly I need to....

Go to the gym regularly for weight training. This is Uncle Chee's house which I always go to. This place is not for the weak. There are many hardcore players here.

First week of training. Can see the shape under the light. Work in progress XD

Finish reading all these books, remember the important points and practice them. Crap, I bought so many of them from last year but no time to study and read it.


If I were to speed up my diet plan process, I may have to implement the 'celebrity diet plan'. I can refer this to the extreme dieting methods from Christian Bale and Jared Leto. All you need is a hyper strong will power.

Jared Leto (actor and lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars)

Jared Leto gorged on melted Haagen Dazs ice cream laced with olive oil and soy sauce to bulk up to play John Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman in new movie Chapter 27. The actor ballooned on the diet and stunned castmates with his massive weight gain.

He says, "(I did it) eating everything you think you're not supposed to - pizza, pasta, ice cream, but my little trick was I would take pints of chocolate Haagen Dazs and put them in the microwave and drink them. The sick thing is I would actually pour olive oil and soy sauce into the mixture as well - to get me bloated even more."

Leto embarked on an equally bizarre seven-week diet to lose the weight he piled on. He explains, "I've been fasting ever since. I've been doing this very strange, like, lemon and cayenne pepper and water fast. I didn't eat any food for 10 days straight; I think I lost 20 pounds that first 10 days."


Christian Bale sets the Hollywood record for weight lost for a movie role in The Machinist. His mental's strength and determination are off the charts!

Christian Bale dropped 63 lbs. to play a man whose health deteriorates after not sleeping for a year. "I wouldn't have done that amount of weight loss if I hadn't thought the movie itself was worth seeing," he says. His diet? Coffee, cigarettes and an apple a day.

How?? How?? CNY is just around the corner XD

My Trip to Paong, Ulu Baram (Part 6)

27/12/2009

Before this, my colleague who was my roommate also had been telling me that he saw a firefly in the room during the night for the last two days. I really wanted to see it since the last time I saw it was a long long time ago when I was still a small kid. Tonight I stayed up later and then I finally saw it. It's beautiful. It shines even more bright when it starts flying around in the dark.

The firefly. See that?

Something really funny happened during the night. When I was about to doze off, suddenly I heard a horrible scream. Reminds me of the 'Witch' in the Left 4 Dead game. Initially I was scared and shocked by it. I woke up look around and asked my colleague whether he heard that scream.

Me: Holy shit! Did you hear that?!

Colleague: What? What's going on?

Me: I thought I heard somebody screamed just now. I think it was a girl's scream.

Colleague: Oh~ It's just me man. It was me. It was my scream.

Me: What?? What happened? That was some scary shit.

Colleague: Oh really? That firefly almost flew into my mouth!

Me: Huh? ...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously dude you screamed like a girl.

Because of that I had a hard time going to sleep because I just couldn't stop laughing when I thought about the scream.


28/12/2009

Today's the last day yippee-kye-yay.

Bye Bye office. You are a sad place to be in.

Time for some victory dunk!

......

They served us fresh wild boar soup on our last day. When I was about to eat it, I discovered something urgh disgusting. I found that the wild boar's hairs still left intact among the fat layers of skin. Holy crap! They were supposed to burn/torch the skin before cooking it but at this kind of place, what could I expect. Out of courtesy, I ate it but leaved the fatty skins aside. Bluek~ It was quite good without the skin and the hair though.

Happy to go home.

My Trip to Paong, Ulu Baram (Part 5)

23/12/2009

A helicopter came today!

Me and my colleague were thinking about riding on the helicopter and go home in time to celebrate Christmas lol.



24/12/2009

It's the day before Christmas and I realized that we were unable to go back home. Still left many things to do here. Not much mood too do work today so I went out to explore some more areas in the camp.

Another cool looking bug.

The cute cat at the canteen.

Pretty butterfly.

SIB Church.

RC Church.

I witnessed volleyball match between the pondans and the machos. This place is full of pondans.

The Mosque.

The river from the top.

Then I went down further the rivers flows here.

And then there.

25/12/2009

Today is just like any other day. Sometimes I lost my sense of time here as everyday is just the same work, work and work. It's Christmas but me and my colleagues were still working at office. Nobody else was at the office besides us. We were determined to do as fast as possible so that we can go back home asap.

What I did was just messaged my friends and wish them a Merry Christmas and playing with my DS at night time. It's just another day...

Oh yeah, during the night while I was watching TV, a lizard fell down from the roof and landed on my head. WTF indeed.


26/12/2009

I was totally serious today at the office. Just work and work and work. We have decided to go back before new year! No way we gonna miss that!

My Trip to Paong, Ulu Baram (Part 4)

21/12/2009

Work today was quite relaxing a bit. Not as tension as the day before.

The friendly housekeeper gave me these candies. They were from Indonesia. The housekeeper is a really nice lady who always makes me coffee whenever I go to the office for work.

On the other side of the candies there are some random/motivational words. Cool.

Another cool looking bug found.

I don't know what is this but it looks neat.

One of the technologies in the camp.

Night's coming.

Dogs mating out caught in the act. I was so kepo.

At night when we were about to sleep, we heard some noises coming from where we put our stuff including luggages on the floor. My colleague rose from the bed and went to check out one of his bags. It turned out that he left one of his bag unzipped. Most of the tidbits in the bag were destroyed by rats and cockroaches.

Most have to be thrown. There were still a lil' bit of leftovers which the packaging still looked okay but just imagine that those rats and cockroaches had been crawling around the stuff in his bag. Yuck~ no way it's edible. But he said, 'Maybe we can still give these to someone'. Yeah he did gave it away but I had no idea who got it lol.

He was devastated. Disappointed. Shocked. Pissed off. And sad.

I had one of the weirdest dreams in a long time during my sleep. All I could remember was that I dreamed about a headless short-tailed croc and a cat. It's about them taking care and protecting each other from harm. A story about one horribly disabled vicious animal and another cute and gentle kind of animal. Damn it was touching sniff sniff.


22/12/2009

Well not much happening today except for a lot of sight seeings during the day. At night, well while I laying on the bed getting ready to sleep with the no electricity after 10pm, I felt something moving around my head at the neck area. It's so familiar that I knew it was that same damn cockroach which has been harassing us for 3 nights! Surprised, I rose up, took my flashlight and aim at it. There it was glaring at me. My colleague handed me a slipper and I tried to whack it but failed. That bugger was fast dammit. After awhile I stopped looking for it and went back to sleep. I hoped that it won't come back anymore bugging but when I was about to go la-la land, I felt it again! This time around my calves! The same thing happened again. I flashed at it and then it's gone. Very fast that bugger. I shall kill it next time. For now, I applied some more insect repellent around by hands and legs.

I miss basketball.
