Need for Speed: SHIFT - Track Guide: London Circuit

At the time this post went online, I'm no longer living in London. However, during the time while I worked on NFS, I was there.

When you live in London, work in London and while working, playing NFS on the London circuit. Well you pretty much have a superbly cool thing going on for yourself. What more to say when the office is almost just on the next street where the "circuit" is. You will feel like you are right there overtaking the 188 bus.

Music In Malaysia

I'm a really music buff. Not one of pure heart, I'm bias for certain genre but I'll accept anything with really good meaningful lyrics. I'm glad that the music taste in Malaysia is stepping up a lot and evolving into something that is modern and upbeat (yes we used to have really 60s styled songs written in the 90s). Now local artists are more open to sing about life, love and troubles of modern life and not only about nature! A nice piece by OAG:

And one from Estrella. She is such a sweet thing!

a Ferrari F2008


nah~ I mean a LEGO Ferrari F2008


Yeah, who wouldn't want one of this? I won't even mind hanging around to demolish it piece by piece later on too ;)

During the annual ‘Lego World’ event in Holland, Amsterdam, 12k-20k invested and 80,000 LEGO pieces were put together to create the biggest and most lifelike LEGO F1 car. This Ferrari F1, based on the F2008, is 1:1 scale, which is fully apparently drivable model.
