Yello Weirdo

Next iteration of Euro Civic Type-R. love it or hate it. funky and futuristic to some, downright horrendous to many. grossly overstyled, its door handles look like those lifted from a fridge..brrrrr. to be built in UK amid the diesel-crazy european crowd, such a petrol-guzzling VTEC machine seems awkward and out of place. OMFG not unless honda plans to put in that clanky 2.2 diesel motor! nonetheless an emphatic attempt by honda to sway the gen-x rice boys back into its fold.

déjà vu Yamaha DX7

23 years ago one digital synthesizer changed and shaped the sound of pop music -- Yamaha DX7 (1983-87). in fact its influential sounds can still be heard in most contemporary albeit crappier songs of today. clean, glassy tinges, and expressive tones were sweet attributes of FM-synthesis sounds. nearly the entire range of sound timbrels of an orchestra can be mimicked by this wonder synth. DX7 quickly became the darling keyboard instrument of the 80s new wave bands -- a-ha, culture club, the cars, depeche mode, fleetwood mac, howard jones, kraftwerk, kitaro, nick kershaw, yazoo... just to name a few. so what makes the sounds of DX7 so special? hear, hear
E.Piano - most renown DX7 sound of the 80s!
What's Love Got To Do With It? - harmonica preset sound of DX7
DX7 Rhodes - signature tone of DX7
The Greatest Love Of All - one of the best produced FM-Rhodes tune

The Shining (1980)

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
...writes Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and loving father turns raging demon. not your straight up horror flick, Shining depicts how modern day pressure can drive one to the brink of freaking terror. with Jack Nicholson in his top form, this is undoubtedly one helluva wicked epic by the late maestro Stanley Kubrick. a must-see for any obscure family man.

Zoom-Zoom with oomph!

Mazda3 MPS is the 2nd model in the Mazda Performance Series (MPS), following the launched of Mazda6 MPS. this will be named as Mazdaspeed Axela in Japan, Mazdaspeed3 in USA and, Mazda3 MPS in other regions incl. EU, Asia-Pacific.
Mazda3 MPS is powered by 2.3L MZR DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) TURBO petrol engine. the same turbo-charged 4-banger can also be found in Mazda6 MPS(260ps @5,500rpm) and usdm CX7 (244ps @5,000rpm). but contrary to Mazda6 MPS' all-wheel drive (AWD) system, Mazda3 MPS gets front-wheel drive(FF).

nb. kudos to Mazda for being the brave soul in resisting those silly electric-hybrid motor for the masses - pls continue to give us your fabulous Turbo and Wankel/Rotary (Renesis in RX-8) engines!

狗来, 鸡 Bye

狗来, 鸡bye (pron. in chinese "gou lai, chee bye" -- meaning Dog arrives, bye Rooster) heheh

Today marks the 15th or finale day of CNY celebrating the year of Dog. a troop of Lion-dancers come prancing to usher in luck and prosperity.
draped in colourful costumes, the lion pair boogie skillfully to the ear-splitting beat of drums and cymbals. they peel pomelo and mandarin oranges, supposedly to bring fortune and wealth luck into the premise.

Schumi, Alfa 159 & alfadana

Schumi posing with the lusty bella Alfa 159 (think Fiat-Ferrari-Alfa connection).
back home in Bolehland, sadly we got only alfa wannabe ie. Potong Banana, err i mean.. Proton Perdana. built from the obsolete Mitsu Eterna of the early 90s, this dinosaur is now in its 3rd incarnation spanning over 10 years, last seen with an disfigured Alfa-nose job (worse than MJ's plastik nose imho) henceforth a.k.a. alfadana. sold as an executive car with no airbags, it was infamous for gearbox failures. that said, the Banana is still rolling out from local production line at the time of writing. Unbelievable? drive it, believe it. WTF

2007 Camry: what a toyol

<foreword> Unlike tons of other benign autoblogs out there, the motor related postings here are strictly confined to my personal boos and yeys. no fear, nor favour.

First up is the recently unveiled all-new Camry. bloated, pretentious, and still boring with a capital B. c'mon no amount of skirtings can make it sporty ok.
the high-cut bonnet line gives it a retarded face, reminiscent of the new jdm Belta (pic) - is this the new Toyol family look?

OMFG! how can anyone live with such a horrid face??

Carl Zeiss: ZF glass for Nikon F-mount

For the first time, Carl Zeiss announces the launch of ZF, a new range of interchangeable Zeiss lenses for Nikon F-mount cameras - both analog and digital SLR! first releases will be the fast PlanarT* 50mm f1.4 ZF ; to be followed by the PlanarT* 85mm f1.4 ZF supposedly a great portrait and story-teller lens. both lenses will become available by mid-2006.
as a present Nikon D70 user, i'm obviously keen on that Zeiss 50mm prime lens. but the b!g question is: how are these gonna compare with Nikon's acclaimed nikkor 50mm and/or nikkor 85mm glass?

my first encounter with Zeiss lens dates back to year 2000, when i had my 1st digicam - Sony DSC-S70, a rather novelty item back then. this 3.3MP compact boasts full movie/sound capability, and a razor-sharp Zeiss lens! S70 produced consistently brilliant images, let down only by its annoying shutter lag (typical problem with older gen digicam) otherwise an awesome little camera.

then came Sony DSC-S85 in 2002. slightly smaller than S70 in dimension, this 4.0MP black beauty felt equally robust. sporting the same 7-21mm (34-102mm equiv.) Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens, pic quality was as sharp and crisp albeit noisier (at ISO >200) owing to a million more pixels being crammed into its puny sized ccd. shutter lag time improved marginally, but S85 can still be frustrating to shoot with.
