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.

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!
