I received my Christmas gift early this year. It’s quite funny how we’re not Christian but we still adopt the practice of giving gifts. There was no gift last year as we bought the PS3 and the year before Dav bought me a DS Lite.
So, I came home late on Thursday night and found a nicely wrapped box on the bed, waiting for me. The box was shipped from Amazon, USA. There can only be one item in there… indeed it was the Kindle! If you have never heard about this gadget, it’s an electronic book reader. I’ve always wanted one.
It is a black and white e-book reader, about the size of A5 (half of A4). The look and feel is very sleek and smooth.
Look how slim the e-reader is.
So besides Dav giving me a present, I’ve also decided to give myself a present to reward myself. I finally bought myself a DSLR. I got the Canon 7D. Now I can proudly say I’m a owner of a DSLR!
Last weekend, I read an article in BBC website about how James May (one of Top Gear presenter) is going to build a Lego House in Dorking, Surrey and is asking for volunteers. Straight away I sent an email to the email address posted on the website, offering my help!
The building was meant to start today (Sat). However I was quite disappointed when I received a reply from the company organising the event early this week. It say that due to ‘huge level of interest’ they are turning this into a ticketed event, free of charge. But basically they are handing out tickets on a first come first serve basis. As this is not exactly near to London, there’s no way I’m gonna make a trip to Dorking, early Saturday morning on my own!
Plus I’ve already bought ticket to attend the ‘Simply Red Picnic Concert’.
Anyway I thought that this was quite a unique initiative and wanted to be part of the experience. James May is quite an eccentric person. Back in April 09, he actually created a garden using plasticine at the Chealsea Flower Show AND won a special award for it! It was the first of its kind!
So now he’s gonna attempt to build a life size house using only Lego with a fully working toilet and stay in it for a few days…
Apparently people actually started queuing at 0430! If I have a car… I might just re-consider….
My current fav iPhone application is Polarize. The application allows you to add a funky retro look to your pictures.
Check out these photos Dav and I have taken. The application also allows the user to add a short description to your pictures. Just like when you write a short description to your polaroid picture!
This pic was taken by Dav when we were on the train heading home. I was busy playing Sudoku.
Salmon sashimi in Kulu Kulu Sushi. Went there for dinner with AA today. Very fresh! Definitely will go back with Dav in the future.
Do not mistaken this with Transformer. Gundam is a metaseries of Japanese anime, featuring giant robots, or “mecha”, created by Sunrise studios back in 1979!!
