sQuba - Lotus Elise

Do you remember watching James Bond in one of his movies entitled The Spy Who Loved Me?

I am not sure but according to what I read, the car he used in that movie can actually run in water. It might seem like impossible but lately Lotus did it. Swiss custom car designer Frank M. Rinderknetch turn a Lotus Elise which looks like this one below ( a typical Lotus Elise)



to THIS!!



I got to know about this car while reading the Discovery Channel Magazine.

What the magazine says about this car?

" the Lotus Elise makeover does come equipped with goggles and oxygen masks. But you'll definitely get soaked if you take the plunge. Rinderknecht, CEO of Rinspeed Inc, said he designed the sQuba without a top so the car wouldn't be overly buoyant and, oh yeah, also so occupants could get out quickly in an emergency. The interior , of course, is water resistant.

The US$1.5 million prototype looks sleek, but top land speed is only 113 kph and once the two-seater hits water it slows down considerably. On top of the waves, it goes up to 5 kph and underwater only 3 kph, to a depth of 10 metres. It has three electric motors - one for the propellers - plus two jet drives in the front.

Rinderknecht does not see a big market for the car. It's a toy, he says, for rich people.

Rich people who likes to get wet.*"

* A big LOL to that.!!

Anyway, below are the links to more information on sQuba if you are interested. Enjoy scrolling through them and search more on the net and be sure to let me know when you found a good site on this car. Thanks.

Malaysian Night '08 - Identity

Malaysian Night is an event which King Edward VII Hall (the hall which I am staying) held it annually. It aims to gather Malaysians here in the hall to accomplish something together besides preparing us for the upcoming co-curricular activities which we are to take part in our hall.

In this event, I volunteered to be the Programme Coordinator. My job scale is to plan the programs for Malaysian Night and make sure all the programs would be presentable for the night of the event.

A lot of time were spent on planning besides

King Edward VII Hallplay

King Edward VII Hallplay 08/09 Steering Committee

Sorry for not blogging for the past few days. I was busy with a play by the hall (hostel) which I am currently staying which is King Edward VII Hall.

I signed up to be a part of this major event in King Edward VII Hall. To try something different, instead of signing up as cast (because I have experience in doing dramas), I decided to sign up for stage crew. To my surprise, I was appointed as the Assistant Stage Manager. My role as an Assistant Stage Manager is to call cues, assign stage crews to their respective props and the props movement, besides having meetings with the main committees of this play.

Last week was an intensive practice for Hallplay. We had dry runs and trainings everyday. It was fun but I can feel the pressure and stress emerging in me as well. Anyway, everything works fine.

The title of this year's Hallplay is Pygmalion. The play is about a poor flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, who sells flowers by the street, speaks rudely and do not know how to carry herself appropriately. But then one day a professor by the name of Higgins spotted her and made a bet with an Englishman name Pickering that he (Higgins) is able to transform Eliza to a Duchess in 6 months.

This play is interesting and funny. The stage props are well done and looks great. I am going to upload the pictures next time. Anyway, below is the picture of the stage crew.

A Follow Up On Wei Yi Toilet Version ( Lee Hom ) Video

Today I was shocked to see this in the statistics and data column in the Wei Yi Toilet Version youtube page...


Please click on the picture for a larger view

Many things was going on in my mind when I see this. This website actually links to LeeHom's fan website.

Firstly, I am very grateful if what I did was recognized by LeeHom fans. At least what I did was worth it after all. But later I realized that this is quite unlikely to happen. I feel more likely LeeHom fans are criticizing me for disgracing LeeHom's song. LOL...

But that is not all I want to show you guys today. There is a blog which recognized my creativity too! ^^

Please click on the picture for a larger view

Quote :" Wow, How creative yet artistically masterful"

I hope those who have seen this video really enjoy it!

Ciaoz.

WoW! They all sounded so interesting. Really looking forward to Semester 2 of my 1st year here in NUS!!!

My Blog is 1 Week Old!!!

I would like to wish all of my friends a Merry Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true and may blessings continue to flow into your life from heaven above.

I guess many have experienced a fantastic countdown to year 2009 with your family and friends. Some might just be sitting comfortably on their couch and watch countdown on television. Regardless of whichever way we celebrate this new year, the spirit of the new year dwells in each and every one of us.

I have read through many friend's blogs with their New Year Resolution, which is good. I can see the eagerness to excel and to prosper in their lives in various ways : studies, health, and etc.

I have some advice which I want to give to all my friends as a New Year blessing on how to get a clearer picture of your needs and wants for the New Year. Just follow the acronym S.M.A.R.T. Which also means that we have to plan smart.

S - Your goals have to be SPECIFIC. You might want to list them down.

M - How would you MEASURE your success? : You would not know your goals being attained until you give your goals a target. For example, lets say your goal is to be fitter, so how fit is fitter to you? Some might say until I get 6 packs only my goal is fulfilled. Some might mean losing some weight and having a slimmer body.

A - Describe your ACTION PLANS : So having listed down your goals, what are you going to do about it? What is your step to step to-do plans? Example, for the same goal of getting fitter, maybe you can say I will exercise 3 times a week and eat healthier.

R - Are your goals REALISTIC? : Is it doable? Yes or No? Make your goals realistic, maybe your CAP was 2.5, do not aim to get 5.0. There is nothing wrong with aiming that high. But is this doable. You might say it is possible if you study harder, but how hard is harder? Are you going to the extend where you strive so much in your studies and you neglected socializing, exercising, building up relationships, relaxation? Why not aim for a CAP 4.0 instead which is more doable and you do not have to sacrifice other equally important aspects of your life.

T - What is your TIME frame for these goals? : When do you expect to achieve those goals? Maybe you want to give yourself 6 months to lose 10 pounds. For studies maybe give yourself one semester to judge your progress.

This is not the end. To plan SMART is not enough. You have to plan SMARTER!

E - EXPECTATION MANAGEMENT. Under what circumstances will you consider adjustments? : Maybe for the person with CAP 2.5 aiming 4.0 in the following semester, but turns out to be that he or she gets 3.5 only. So we need to be mentally prepared that our goals might not be fulfilled 100%. At least in this case that person improved. Maybe for him or her, this result is still not good enough. So what adjustments would you take if you did not achieve your ultimate goal? Maybe in this same case, he or she have to study smarter instead of harder? Maybe study groups might be more effective rather than studying alone?

R - REVELATION. Write a promise or verse from the Bible that supports these goals : For example, Deuteronomy 28:13 ~ "and the Lord will make you the Head and NOT the Tail, you shall be above only and not beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today and are careful to observe them" &
Joshua 1:8 ~"This book of Law shall not depart from your mouth but you shall meditate it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success."
1 Peter 2:24 ~"Jesus, who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree (cross), that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness - by whose stripes you were healed."

The Bible is there to support your goals. So that it is not you who wants to do well but God, your heavenly Father, who loves each and everyone of us wants us to be successful and healthy and joyful. Enjoying our lives on earth with abundant blessings which flows like a river.
So besides working hard for yourselves, you will be assured that God (who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us ~Ephesians 3:20) is more than willing to fight together with you.

I hope you guys learn something by reading this. Let us work hard together on the path to excellence! Lets do it with all our might (mental and physical strength) and do it right!
