Fun & Light-weight Games

Lately I had encounter one interesting website which offered several of interesting light-weight games, such as solitaire and mahjong. Apart of that, the games are rather cheap and affordable. Speaking of games, mac users won’t miss this chance as Midoritech does offer mac games as well.

I have tried out the demo version of global warning. It supports for both platforms, Windows and Macintosh. It is a fun game to play in your leisure time.

Besides that, there are some Kids games as well, such as YooDoo and Ladybugs.

Every games has a demo at there and free to try. It is safe to purchase games at there because it is powered by Plimus (a secure payment system).

Big Boy Toy

Not long ago, I just found out a new big boy toy. Previously, it is so-called “BB Gun” (Ball-Bearing Gun). I remember in the late 90s, a group of friends of mine bought those BB Gun and some of them shot lizards at home, or doggie near neighbourhood. Back to the topic, the new big boy toy is GREEN LASER. Laser light that can burn almost everything (seriously) and in long range.
Green Laser
GREEN LASER is a fun and quite harmful tool. It is not used for presentation (RED LASER, which was consider another big boy toy). This tool will burn your presentation slide instead. The main purpose is for showing off. HAHA.. That’s just one of the purposes. This can use as to popping balloons, especially in the party, or killing lizards?

Anyway, this toy is not so totally new but I just found out recently. In USA, a company highly design these GREEN LASER, WICKED LASERS. The price is one hell of it. From below USD100 until USD2k plus. The more powerful the laser is, the more pricey it is. This is a site about the review of wicked lasers. Seems like pretty fun and powerful to own one.I seriously don’t think anyone be able to own it, at least for us, Asian. But we sure do have alternative, which is MADE IN CHINA, with a similar technology from the USA. My friend is quite keen about it. He might buy one of those soon. The price is in the range from RM100 plus till RM250, based on this LYN(LowYat.Net) Online Sales. According to my friend, the lowest/cheapest model is useless. Only the RM200 above is the best for long range and producing powerful heat. I think those model should be china products.

Now I waiting for my friend to own one. Then, I can test and review it. I have been wondering, sooner or later, our government going ban this coolest GREEN LASER pointers. Be sure to grab now, before it is too late. HAHA.

Below here are video clips of WICKED LASERS (AKA BIG BOY TOY):

PS: Btw, anyone knows about this toys? Feel free to share and post comments about this.

Phua Chu Kang Special Appearance

From 25th to 27th April, 2008, tHe Spring (Kuching, Sarawak) has held a Uniquely Singapore Carnival. There is a special appearance of ‘Phua Chu Kang‘ in the carnival on 26th and 27th at 4pm.

Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd (Singapore sitcom) revolves around the Phua family, most notably Phua Chu Kang (Gurmit Singh), a contractor who boasts that he is the “Best in Singapore, JB, and some say Batam

The event is over-crowded (as usual). To be honest, this event is only watching him give out the freebies and merchandises. WTF?! Yea.. That’s the main event. And of course, he would also add on his own special ingredient (his funny accent) while giving the freebies/merchandises out. He still wearing his same old clothing trademarks which are his yellow pair of boots, curly hair, a giant mole, and long nails on his pinky fingers :D

This guy (forgotten his name), damn freaking … He managed to be picked by Phua and he was trying to be funny on the stage. One of the his line (I managed to remember) was “where’s my Rossie (who is Phua’s wife) ?”
Phua managed to make fun of the crowds. One of his jokes is a conversation with a little girl.

Phua: What is your name?
Girl: XXXX (forgotten her name as well)
Phua: I CAN’T HEAR YOU!! LOUDER!! SAY ONE! (Loudly and with his funny accent)
Girl: ONE!!
Phua: SAY FIVE!
Girl: FIVE!!
Phua: SAY WHAT IS YOUR NAME? (That’s the damn catch @_@)
Girl: WHAT IS YOUR NAME!!!
*Everyone was laughing, damn him. The little girl just five years old and she really quite smart and brave for NOT cry*

In this event, he mostly mentions about Rossie into his jokes. As far as I know, he does not use his famous cliché/catchphrase, “Don’t play play” (pronounce as “pray pray” according to his articulation). In an odd way, he is singing in this event. And walla!? His voice really BAGUS!!! He is singing “Mandy” which is original sang by Barry Manilow.

Before he left the stage, MC asked him to sign on the banner. This event only last for around 25minutes. He will be on there again at same time and same place on today (27th April).

Beat Doggy? Pak Kao

While surfing the net, I just found new Chinese New Year song. Totally brand new for 2008, title of the song is ….. PAK KAO or ‘beat dog’ sang by our Malaysia favor artist, Wee Meng Chee or namewee. By the way, this song is not 100% true. In Sarawak, everyone play firecrackers till nutz. And I don’t see any police  :roll:

Enjoy it and Happy Chinese New Year, Mousy Year of 2008.
