What Makes It So special.

Last week i've posted some hobby called AQUASCAPING...

Actually its been here in Malaysia for a long time.From what i know, the first person who ever get involved is this was back in 1990's. That would be 20 years ago.

Do you know that this hobby actually are recognized worldwide? Even they had an International Aquascaping!!!
Back in the first year when i got involved, it was in 2008...i got so amazed by the fact that during the 2009International Aquascaping Competition which they called it INTERNATIONAL AQUA PLANT LANDSCAPING COMPETITION (IAPLC) , 2 of our own...yes Malaysia were in the TOP 20!!!!!
Just can't believe that this was why i got very hyped to get involved in this unique , full of challenges, i can call costly & really can give you the best feeling you had ever had watching your plants grow....

Ok..back to those contestants. Here are the recap ot the winners for 2009.
Malaysia actually had the 3rd largest numbers of entries in the WORLD!!!!

And the list goes on & on until #2k like that..hehehe..and along that TOP 100 got a few Malaysians made their name.

Well, as is it not an easy or not a 1 day job to make their tanks looked like that...it really paid off for these 2 guys.....Why???

Cuz Big Bro Sim & Taukeh got full paid trip to Japan for the prize giving ceremony with accommodation!!!!
And as the prize...Bro Sim received a whooping  100,000 yen!!!

Thats Sim with his cheque replica. #4 world ranking.

Thats Malaysian who won the #4 & #12 world ranking...very proud of them...congrats..

Well...thats it for 2009..a bit late but a good history to remember & for me to keep me going to work harder to achieve more in this hobby.

As for year 2010...Malaysia didn't perform very well, maybe because of the fact that everybody have quite the same theme & styles....so.. new ideas coming out in a year time.... was quite challenging...anyway...got good news for the year 2011...will update the result in another post soon.

Nice!!!

The Evolution Of Ipad & Why They're Created

First, during our childhood we need something to scribble on..and yet mobile..
So they created this...


 Then we need it to be smaller , more mobile & practical..for daily business use...
So, they created PDA...


But this guy demanded more!!!!A gadget that not only can be used as business use but also for entertainment...
This was how people get the idea to pack in business use & entertainment..because of this guy...


That's how they put in business functions & entertainment into one gadget which offers practicality & mobility...

Ipad....


Wish that i could get one....

Aquascaping

What is aquascaping? What i understand is you make landscaping inside water @ aquarium...
My simple definition...

Now..this was inspired from a Private clinic in Sungai Buloh ,Putra Medical Centre (PMC) that had a nice natural tank setup.

Now...from there i started to do 'research' on how to create aquascape.

Some of my aquascaping works.
From the start & they evolved ...

My first aquascape in a 2 1/2 footer tank with just a water pump & filter...cheapo & most basic filtering system.
The lighting even a cheap UV light...For a first timer i guess..



Then came this...in a 1 footer square tank...



 Remake of the old 2 1/2 footer..



Sad story happened to this tank...the co2 regulator got loosed...all my fished got choked my too much co2...sad day...

Next..another remake of the 2 1/2 footer tank.This one..only the process..the full picture i can't recall where i put the photos..well..just for sharing..





While i remake the 2 1/2 footer...im maintaining the 1 feet & 1 feet square tank below the bigger one..
Should have snap some photo of those two..

Now this was the remake of the 1 feet tank...

In a 1 footer tank...just a small setup with basic needs..







And this was my last tank before i scrap them all...
My last workmanship..the 2 footer...

Some close ups...


Overall view...

Now..this tank cost me RM1.7K for all the stuff....high maintenance...at last..scrap them all.

Well i guess that's all for the history of my aquascaping work..maybe can setup another tank next time...

My First Mod (PC Case)

This was my first PC Case mod. Inspired by this uncle from Penang, Taufik aka. Bombman (Lyn Forum).
He was my sifu & supplier of most of my materials & tools.
And a kid Sherren Lee (Lyn Forum) who was merely 14 years old when we met & he showed me his work...damm...
Not forgetting Lohwenli & Pmmonkey (Lyn Forum) ...little group with high dreams...

This was my dream case...
Damm nice...with all those acrylics..but can't imagine how much effort to cut them smoothly & bend those 3mm thick acrylics...so high hopes left behind since i can't afford to get the right tools to do it.

Anyhow, my target was still there...yeah..and this was the outcome..

My tool:

And the help of my dad...

I called it THE MEAN RED MACHINE..hahahaha














Maybe next time i'll come back again with a new theme...
For the time being..just stick to this...

I just can't imagine what happened to Friendster.com....all my saved pictures of the process are gone..not to say in my own storage..My hardisk kaputtt...sayang...
