In the early years of learning and playing guitar, I come across a guitar pick collection board displayed in my hometown (Ipoh) “Music Store” at Jusco. One of the pick inside which I found attractive was this type. The specialty could be having the 3 holes in its design. Unfortunately, the shop doesn’t sell it. But I thought, some day maybe I could get it by luck and opportunity.

Many years has gone since then, probably it has been nearly 5 years roughly. I saw this one today ! bought it at the One Utama, “Guitar Collection” shop. Hehe~ it’s the Jim Dunlop – “TECKPICK PAT.PEND” (carved on it). As can be found in their website: http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?page=products/pip&id=32&pmh=products/picks

This one is the picture of my pick~ probably can take it as “necklace” accessories? Well, I guess that’s probably why sometimes we have to travel abroad to look for it. We might saw something inspiring at hometown.(starting place), and yet travel far, to search and learn only we know that the world is bigger and found more~

this was the sketch enhanced today using Paint.net.. it was drawn some time ago for the Peer Helping Programme T-Shirt Design… anyway, just taking some old works to work with computer effect. Hehe.

It is the Kira-Lacus picture that based on its toy figure advertisement.

- Drawn with Pencil, and Artline Pen.
- Picture taken and transfer to computer using SE K618 phone
- Picture converted to B&W with Paint.net
- Slightly colour tweaked and sharpen.

I received these picture and quotes from friend in email…. However, from my search in internet… I found these relevant site… which is more informative at first sight.

BEFORE - plain maker pen drawings (divineforge +terran crest)

Previously I paint on my laptop  cover... wish to decorate something for this old laptop...

AFTER ( World of Warcraft - The Alliance Flag)

until the day, PC fair, 2 August 2008, well, eventually I decided to get my laptop a skin... here, it is..

first and foremost... an example of Rube Goldberg's Machine...

During my childhood, I saw many of this interesting stuff in cartoon... recently I was wondering wut can this be? It should have a name right? Coincidently, I found the answers, and some real design of rube goldberg's machine from www.metacafe.com. So, I took the description for Rube Goldberg's Machine from wikipedia...  :

A Rube Goldberg machine is an incredibly overengineered apparatus that performs a very simple task in very indirect and convoluted fashion (thus absurdly violating the principle of parsimony). The term first appeared in Webster's Third New International Dictionary with the definition, "accomplishing by extremely complex roundabout means what actually or seemingly could be done simply."

     Well... hmmm and then? Haha it does give a little attractiveness for me, anyway... probably it is just an eyecandy for the meanwhile... Doesn't have any further thought on it yet apart from the joy of founding the answer, the name of this kind of "mechanism" ... :)

  Strike Noir - Gundam Seed - "Stargazer" series, ~ Phantom Pain (Organisation) -

a shot of Kenny's Homemade Muffins, chocolate flavour... nicely baked.

I have not really tried the dishes of Kenny Rogers... until the day from Ipoh, back to KL, and have a "dinner" in Kenny Rogers Restaurant at Puduraya, as suggested by my dear... and it's a real good suggestion :)

http://www.krr.com.my/healthy_offerings.php [Kenny Roger's Roaster M'sia]

Having a Quarter Meal as main course, these muffins are part of it, and at the end of the course, we're served with a wonderful sweet indulgence: Muffin Submarine.... :)  Indeed the taste of this italian style food... is really special, every dishes has its unique taste, not too heavily, rather consider light meal, and scrumptious. Exactly as its description, less fat, less salt,  less calories.

- two chocolate muffins... sharing the same flavour, same taste... melt with country-style restaurant romantic music...

  Rainbow Mango Dessert.... Yummy..

Half-eaten mangos dessert... dunno since when... started to love shooting pictures... Perhaps it has been my dream long ago, long to have a compact digital camera something to take all precious moments... Thanks to my current 3G SE K618i phone, it helps me to make dreams come true. :)

Sweet dessert, mangos... it has been our favourite dessert, which brought us together to many many places, and savouring different designs of mangos pudding, and different taste of mangos dessert... this one is from the "Food and Tea - Hong Kong" restaurant ("欢喜地") ... in Time Square, KL... it is a special encounter today... previously my "dear dear" and I tasted the food in one of its outlet in Ipoh, Jaya Jusco, now hunt it down to KL.. lol! ~ and this is called "Exciting" !

   cheesy chicken chop spaghetti...

    hehe perhaps the "look" isn't that nice,
   but the taste is No. 1

Hmmmmm......... sometimes... when we want to try something... make sure we have a strong will for it... then.... usually it will come true... hmm don't u think so? Hehe Yeah! It is a yes always.

Today the whole day, not getting much from Time Square... whoa can't deny that it is a big big complex... but.. being there mostly just for hobby stuff? for example, BrickBoy - LEGO, Gundam Models? whoa... etc, summore; Clothes.... haha or maybe not the least , places to eat and savour special food :)

Just thought that it could be the end of the day, maybe going back with empty hands in disappointment, the trip to Mid Valley, has brighten up the day in the evening ride of rapidKL - U85 bus!

The beginning of Jusco - Sushi HUNT started& so as finally made the purchase of felton water bottle! hehe... the whole day.. is just about happiness and savouring food...... :)       for sure, the magic of love has brought further delight to the day....

Fender Squier Affinity Fat Strat ... I get an imitation version of Fender..

THE DESCRIPTION OF ORIGINAL FENDER SQUIER

"The Squier Affinity is an affordable 6-string electric guitar with both single coil and humbucker pickups."  The Humbucker pickup has more of a solid sound that is in line to what a Gibson Les Paul would sound like. The single coil pickups give the Fender Strat sound. Twangy and more loose sounding. Very bluesy sounds that also have a great ryhthm guitar sound. "

The Affinity Fat Strat features a Hardwood body and Fat Style maple neck. The neck has 22-frets and rosewood fretboard with die cast chrone tuners. To round things off it also has a standard fulcrum tremolo bridge so you can twang away. A guitar that can play it fat and sweet, or lean and mean. Combines two forward single coils, bridge humbucker, and five-way switching for incredible tonal range.

Features

• Humbucker Pickup in Bridge Position
• Two Single Coil Pickups
• Solid hardwood body,
• 22-fret rosewood fingerboard
• die-cast chrome tuners
• standard fulcrum tremolo bridge.
