† Interesting Coffee Cups †


Its been my habit to start my day with a cup of coffee. Here's some interesting coffee cups that may help to lighten up you each day.


"On Off Coffee Cup" - The mug offers a black “OFF” display, but once your hot coffee or tea is poured inside, it gradually transforms to read “ON”. The heat sensitive pigment changes the color of the mug from black to white.



"Smile Cup" - A great way to start your day is with a smile?



"MyCuppa Tea" - This cup helps you mix your favourite tea or coffee to just-how-you-like-it by matching the colour guide on the inside.


"Drink Selector Mug" - Tired of telling people how you like your tea or coffee? Twist rings to reveal your choice of drink and your milk and sugar preferences!


"Stacked! Coffee Cup" - Its actually one cup that looks like three being stacked together.

† Ten Most Memorable CG Characters †

So here we have the ten most memorable CG (computer graphic) characters from various kind of movies. Note that this rating is based on my perception and is not official. Everyone's taste differs from each other aye?


10. Fish Out Of Water from "Chicken Little". It may be been out of his environment and unable to speak, but it just goes to show how a little attitude and personality can overcome a loss of words.


9. Penguins from "Madagascar". There's no doubt these four penguins are the center-point of the movie.


8. Roz from "Monster Inc". She reminds me of Edna Mole from "The Incredibles". LOL.


7. Bruce from "Finding Nemo". A friendly great white shark who wants to make friend with other fishes.


6. Scrat from "Ice Age". It has nothing to do with the story line but its presence brings laugh to the whole show.


5. Slim from "Bug's Life". What can I say about him? He's just funny.


4. Edna Mole from "The Incredibles". So many characters in the movie are great, but it’s Edna Mole, the weird little lady with funny personality that stole the show.


3. Puss In Boots from "Shrek 2 & 3". I’ll admit that I have no love for "Shrek 3", but Antonio Banderas voicing the cat was one of the best things about this movie.


2. Master Shifu from "Kung Fu Panda". Annoying at the beginning but he became a great teacher towards the end of the movie.


1. Wall.E from "Wall.E". It expressed itself via all kinds of adorable actions. This is why I rated it number one among all CG characters.

♫ NightWish - Amaranth ♫

This is a cool song performed by Nightwish, with the title "Amaranth" which means 'imaginary flower that never fades'. The song started off with a soft soothing piano intro before the drums and metal guitars bang in.

In the music video of Amaranth, two boys found a fallen angel lying by the river-side and both of them brought her back to the village. (Of course you would if you see an angel aren't you?)





The ending of the music video is kinda confusing and I wasn't sure what is happening: The two boys placed the angel in their house but other villagers were totally against upon their arrival. In the end, the villagers dragged the two boys out of the house and burnt the angel to death. So sad...


"Wounded Angel by Hugo Simberg"

From my further research, I found the whole idea of Amaranth music video came from Hugo Simberg's painting 'Wounded Angel'.

My thought: I think the angel symbolizes eternity in the song. Perhaps the song is talking about how some people welcome the idea of eternity and some seek to destroy it when it doesn't conform to their expectations.

† Four Seasons †


There are four seasons in my mind right now which definitely can't be found in Malaysia. Its been a couple of years since I left Scotland. Kinda miss the weather over there especially the four seasons: summer, autumn, winter and spring. I wish I could turn back the time and spend more of my time experiencing the four seasons once again especially autumn. Why autumn? I've got no special reason for it... Maybe because I love the colour and mood. So these are my favourite pictures from each season...


“All we need is the truth in our hand. Someone to call a friend. Never fear the darkness. All we need is just the sun in the sky. And the hope of a summer to come with the meaning of love.” ~Truth Quotes


“I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.” ~Robert Browning Quotes


“Friendship that flows from the heart cannot be frozen by adversity, as the water that flows from the spring cannot congeal in winter.” ~Friendship Quotes


Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.” ~Doug Larson Quotes

† Alternative Clothes Cleaner †



Here's something cool to know about: Alternative Clothes Cleaner, where you can sit down (on the clothes cleaner itself) while waiting for the clothes.

If this design works, I think gonna be utterly genius. Perhaps it works better in the bathroom rather than living hall? Anyway, its gonna be all up to the users.





















All you need to do is just relax yourself while waiting for the clothes to be done. Brilliant idea it is.

† Luxurious Room For Cats †

I didn't expect someone actually built such nice room for cats to stay. AsahiKasei.com actually explains how a room that suits a cat should be built: its design, layout and materials.

NOTE: The website AsahiKasei.com is in Japanese so just in case you can't read Japanese, just click on the JPEG files to see the pictures will do.









These cats are just too lucky to have such nice room to stay aren't they?

† Carga Bag †

Girls love to talk about bags. Everything is about bag bag bag and bags.

We can't blame the girls for being such a bagholic because guys too, love bags as well. Sometimes a guy's taste can be a bit weird, but girls, do bear with us. We have our own taste :p



Right here I would like to introduce Carga, a bag designed specially for men. According to Carga's official website, its collection is rather construction based.











Here's another design of Carga which is black in color. I would say this design is more matured than the previous one.







The only draw back about these bags is the price. Each of these bags won't be cheaper than $200 USD T.T
