Wind Portal
I was in Popular at Thomson 2 days ago, reading the Stuff Magazine on gadgets where I came across this awesome looking product! The interesting design made me want to read about it.
And guess what? It's a fan! Wooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeee!
It's a product from Dyson. A company that I first heard of it from Chris. Their first main product was a vacuum cleaner which did not rely on filter bags. Instead, it generates a mini cyclone inside the machine to suck up dirt. Because of that, the vacuum does not lose suction caused by dirty filter bags.
And this is their newest gadget! It's called the Dyson Air Multiplier. Probably inspired by jet engines. The vents at the base sucks in air, it then accelerates the air inside and forces it out! Resembles a Portal where things go through it get sucked into lightspeed! I showed it to Mum and she said cleaning would be easy!
I believe the price will be considerably more as well. If I remembered correctly, the small, handheld vacuum costs about $150+, which was about the same as the typical household sized vacuum.
The design is nice! The idea is fresh! Inspiring! :D

Should I be Mr Pringles?
Hmmmffff!! :)
If I how does the Pringles logo look like, I believe many will say it's the face with the mustache! Well, I thought of growing a mustache after I saw an advertisement by Louis Vuitton which is shown below. (It took me a long time to find this on the net!)
Look at him. So calm and collected. It gives me the "Shakespeare, classy, arty, high end" vibe. Hehe. Hope B is fine with it! :D Looking forward to no shaving for an indefinite period! Wee! Soon there will be 2 people in the family with mustaches.
My dear readers! What do you think of this?

An Apple a day keeps my work away!
Ever since I got my iPhone 2 weeks ago, I have been using it regularly at work! Not to play constantly but to achieve work-play balance. "Yaaa right..". :P So far, it has not disappointed me. I used to be very negative towards Apple products solely for the reason that I think people buy Apple for the cool factor. If you compare just technical specifications alone, a laptop of any other brand would beat it! So the extra money probably goes into design, interface, branding, the Mac OS, aluminium body and etc?
But I think it was really childish of me not to buy Apple for the above mentioned reason. Anyway, I would like to write a short review about this product.
Noticed how handphone sizes changed over time? From the big, heavy, "use it as a weapon" size to the very slim and compact, when Samsung came up with very nice looking phones for the business market, and now into the era of smart phones where the size is getting back to big. Sounds like fashion. Hah!
Size
I am not complaining about the size. Fits my hand well. After all, I would feel uncomfortable carrying a small phone where the feeling is like carrying 2 coins in a clenched fist.
Interface
The interface is awesome. It does not lag when you slide from page to page as you view the apps. A satisfying feeling that I get everytime. Similar to when things transit smoothly during concerts, performances and etc. Getting around the default apps is easy.
Apps
This is another power-to-the-ma feature. HTC and BB have apps but not as many as the iPhone's. And because many are free, you just want to grab them all! If for instance, an app is just released and it's available free just for that day and you downloaded it, it sticks into your account forever. So even if the app cost goes all the way to $99.99, you won't have to pay it! So got to go app shopping frequently to get good deals. Hehe!
To me, I think the iPhone is a good buy. Keeps you updated, people will constantly create apps because many many people are using it.
With a data plan now, everything is so much more convenient and accessible. I read my mail more frequently now! Hahaha!
If any of you wish to ask for more feedback regarding it, feel free to ask me. I will not give a biased view. Honest! :)

A Loaf of Meat!
It can also mean the musician. (He looks pretty round doesn't he? Might be all the loaves he ate and gave him inspiration to sing! :D)
I think this dish is very common in the United States. It was there that I tried it for the very first time at Mel's Diner. I have seen in comics, and hear about them mentioned in movies. Like when the kid comes home and the mom shouts, "Son? There's meatloaf in the fridge." or the mom says, "We're gonna have meatloaf tonight!" and the children reply, "Not agaaaainn?".
Aunt May left Peter Parker a note in the kitchen that wrote, "There's meatloaf in the oven." when he came back in the night.
Meatloaf is really easy to make. The ingredients used are easily found in the kitchen. This recipe had good reviews so I decided to make it for dinner at Kat's place after cell group. The baking time is an hour so you have plenty of time to prepare other things or for my case, wash the dishes.
The two ladies who helped in the making.
as you can see the uncooked meatloaf above. We placed it in the oven and...
It came out like this!
The crust-like layer is actually the sauce that I poured over. Made of only tomato sauce, mustard and brown sugar. I like the combination a lot! And it comes out thick and viscous like caramel. Sweeeet... :D
We cut it into 9 slices and but it was actually meant for 6. The portion would feed 6 nicely. I made it again (except I forgot about putting in the onions) the next day at Alicia's place. Same size but to feed 4. It was a huge portion! Mark was happy because he was starving after the soccer match. I think the amount of food taken in should be just nice. So people won't get the "very nii!" feeling from it. For example, KFC.
I'm very satisfied with this recipe. Will go and try out other variations in time to come. Just need to tell mum that I want to cook dinner and the opportunity opens up. Heh. Go try it! :)
