Candy
5 years ago I was so keened on what color should I used to re-paint my car. My biggest influence that time was the color samples came from House Of Kolors. You know their color schemes are amazing especially those cars in Australia. My pick was Candy Red or Candy Apple Red. The only problem here in Brunei was that there weren't any experts to paint this kind of color at that time. If to apply it incorrectly, the final finishing won't be that satisfying and you'll just wasting your money for the color you chose that turned out harsh in the end.
Eventually, I'd witnessed a candy red car from our own country with a very good finishing somewhere in Belait District a few weeks ago. Well, it was only from a pic though. But enough for me to satisfy that this paint can be done nowadays :D
The only question is that I'm not quite sure whether this type of car paint would survive our equatorial climate or not. Have to put extra care when having expensive color paint like this though. Below are some samples of cars with this color scheme:

Thunder Tears
Taiwan is synonym with groupbands like F4, Fahrenheit (our own local Wu Chun is the only non Tiawanese in this band), Y2J, Mayday, Lollipop..just to name a few. What people don't really know that there is another potential band there but with a totally different genre of music, namely Chthonic. Worry not, I am not about to compare these groups because there is no point of bragging who's the best in their music anyway. Chthonic is a band that plays Black Metal that sometimes they remind me of English's Cradle Of Filth. Anyway, to my interest, their bassist (also backing vocal), Doris Yeh aka Thunder Tears had been featured as a cover girl for FHM magazine Taiwan, Nov 2008. You know, how weird it is for a person that is so evil in attitude and showmanship turns erotic and "normal" in FHM. Ironic? An underground metal girl having photoshots for a commercial mag? I don't know, I just sometimes like changes too :D
Aslan (I totally love her voice, 'nuff sed!!)
That is one hot pose for a girl that does Black Metal musick :D
With her grotesque looking make up - musicwise
Doris performing on stage, I like!!!

Racing Kings
While people put their thumbs up for Need For Speed: Shift and started to judging it with Gran Turismo, GT5 stands alone and I prefer to call it: superior. Gran Turismo since its first release is a very fun game to play. Despite all the licenses you have to achieve, the beauty of it starts when you play the game more deeply and winning more money and free hungry-for-horsepower cars for you to modify and put them for a test or two. GT climbs the ladder step by step with improvements I couldn't think of. With Gran Turismo 5 waiting to be launched soon, I can assure you this game will be as grand as GT used to be. I'm hoping for aftermarket parts, accessories and custom made aerokits to be popped inside the game though to make it more fun.
Talking about Need For Speed: Shift, I couldn't agree more this time EA makes a very lovely looking NFS with its powerful graphics. For computer gaming system, the minimum requirement is as low as ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB or Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT 256MB graphic card. I love to try the game yet my lappy has OEM graphic card only..pppfffTTT!!! With more than 70 real cars, I bet it will be awesome to have all those cars pimped with unique paints, staggered wheels and extreme aerodynamics. You should check it out and have it in HD quality LCD for the true simulating experience :D For Wii users, EA simply call it Need For Speed: Nitro. It should be out by this November 2009. Why they call it Nitro instead of Shift, I don't really know. What I possibly know is that the graphic won't be as stunning as Shift though but I do hope it'd be more better than the previous NFS: Undercover.
Forget about NFS, I beg you to check out Gran Turismo's official GT5 video clip below. It is sooooo attempting to have a PS3 soon *winxxxx*Aslan (wink2!!!)

Black Beauty
Introducing a lovely looking netbook from Asus, Eee PC 1008HA. Not much I can tell about this 10" netbook actually. It is just one super slim with just 1.1kg seashell design with beautiful looking color scheme and the processor is of course Intel Atom with up to 6 hours of battery supply. There is the obvious webcam, LED backlight, 160gb hd (and an extra 10gb online Eee storage), 2 USBs, SD card slot and fully gripped joypad, which I like the most. The speakers sound cool too, you can still listen to songs with it without caring much of distortions here and there. I think of all netbooks from Dell to Acer, HP to Sony; guess Eee PC 1008HA manages to clarify its standard with this revolutionary outcome. One thing for sure, the battery is built in inside its body. It's a bit risky (for those who think it is unwise to have battery built in inside the laptop) but come to think of it again, Asus have their own reason why it is made to be inside the body itself. Don't worry about overcharged, it won't. That's the specialty of it :D The pictures above aren't that satisfying I think, so you guys can check it out on the web for the proper looks.

Modestly Wicked
After months of the demise of my laptop, here comes the new one. You know how the price tags are dropping fast for computers and gadgets nowadays; so like, this Inspiron 13 is like half time more cheaper to compare with my old laptop but with the advantages of a higher processor, more expandable hard disk space and of course, everything is updated than the previous one I had :) I used to aim for a netbook though. However, due to Intel Atom processor's uninspired me that much, I've to go for the basic Core 2 Duo. At first, I was kinda fascinated with IBM brand, lastly I'd to agree that Dell really suits me the most. money wise and also specifications wise.
What fascinates me the most is the speakers. Even though the speakers are integrated one without the support of such hi-tech surround or dolby thingies, it never disappoints me. Like when I turn the volume to the max, it doesn't distort or at least the distortion is so minimal that you can't hardly hear it. That's far more better than the sounds from a Vaio!! IAnyway, it doesn't matter though if you're not that satisfied with the speakers, coz many USB-based additional speakers are there for you to grab with the reasonable price.
All in all, Dell Inspiron 13 is one down to earth laptop. With its 1.8kg weight, it is a laptop that you can easily deal with. And from the first day I use it, it does inspire me a lot to be more productive when using it...hehehe.
Aslan (I need to change the graphic card someday though. Not that it sucks, I just need an upgrade sooner or later)
