Come! Take A Look At My Stunt Kite
Recently, I’m busy with my new hobby; it is called “Stunt Kite”. Anyone of you ever heard about it? Well, Stunt kites also known as sport or acrobatic kites, offer the pilot ability to steer the kite and perform tricks. Two lines (at a fixed length ~ 100m) control the kite, similar to steering a bicycle. The two flying lines are connected to handles or straps on one end and connected to the bridle of the kite on the opposite end of the line. You can control the kite by pulling in one line to make it turn in the direction you want, if you pull the right hand line the kite will turn to the right and vice versa. These kites are easy to learn but need a lot of practice in order to master the tricks performances.
There are a lot of companies that selling the stunt kite abroad. And they came with many, many types of design and pattern. About 6 years back, I did purchase one unit with about 5.5ft height of kite via EBay but that unit’s quality is not really good and it needs a very, very strong wind to fly it. End up I hardly can play it at Penang. I need a strong wind; says about 25mph only can fly the kite up.
Here I wanted to show you my newly bought 8.5ft height (95 inches tall) stunt kite.
I bought it from one of the retailer here in Penang, Mr. Azemi. He is the master of stunt kite and have been representing Malaysia for the stunt kite competition many, many times already. I’m so lucky that able to teach and coach by Mr. Azemi and Mr. Azahar (who is the Malaysia Kite president).
This kite is no jokes, folk! It can pull me forward when I fly it and so I have to fight with the strong wind until my body is about 45 or 30 degree backwards (slantingly). And the kite makes a very fantastic noisy sound (like a jet plane) when it blows by the wind. That noisy sound is the one that really attracts people. It is so fun! Those with skinny body are not advice to play this kite.
I bought the above stunt kite with RM 600 and it is considered a very good deal already. Some with the very professional kites are selling with price about RM 1000++. But, there are many ranges of kites and quality that available which will cost from RM 250 to RM2000. It is very much depending on individual budget and needs…
Here I wanted to show you the movie that capture by my wife while I’m playing tricks with my friends at Padang Kota Lama (Esplanade). We clip on some tiny lights so that the kite looks more elegance in the dark sky and you can hear the noise makes by the kite too. Enjoy it!
Message for you Borneo Falcon, I think my wife (amycheah) did comment on your blog related the Padang Kota Lama saying that many people are playing kites at night at there. Anyhow, stunt kite cannot play throughout the year in Padang Kota Lama. It usually can only be played during December and January due to the strong wind strike. But other type of kites; yes can be play throughout the year there.

Two M’sians jailed in Vietnam for using fake credit cards
HANOI: A Hanoi court sentenced two Malaysians Tan Wei Hong, 26, and Cham Tack Choi, 23, to seven years in prison on charges of using fake credit cards.
The two Malaysians were arrested on December 21, 2007 when they went on a shopping spree at the Louis Vuitton fashion shop in Ngo Quyen street, Hoan Kiem district in Hanoi, buying expensive suitcases and bags costing almost US6,000 dollars.
While Choi was paying the cashier with three international credit cards bearing his name, a staff member recognised him as he had previously used contraband credit cards to pay for goods in the same shop and reported him to the police.
Hong later admitted to the police that he had visited Vietnam on three occasions and had used fake credit cards to pay for VND293mi (US17,000 dollars) worth of goods.
Meanwhile Choi had made two visits to Vietnam for the same purpose and had used fake cards to rack up more than VND 275mil (US16,200 dollars) in goods. - Bernama

My New High Tech PC#3
I’d like to continue my previous post here. I talked about I’m using Kingston HyperX memory, Cooler Master Heatsink and 2 SATA Hardisk. Here you go...
Why I choose to use HyperX memory instead of using normal DDR 2? That's because HyperX DDR2 modules are specifically engineered and designed to meet the rigorous requirements of PC enthusiasts. Meaning HyperX memory is designed based on the latest memory specifications to deliver ultra performance for PC gaming. HyperX DDR2 offers faster speeds, lower latencies, higher data bandwidths and lower power consumption than DDR. The best of Kingston's company is they offer all their memory products with life time warranty.
Below are the details:
KHX6400D2K2/4G = 4GB kit DDR2 800MHz Non-ECC CL5(kit of 2 - 2GB)
Timing = 5-5-5-15
Voltage = 1.8V
For microprocessor heat sink, I'm using Cooler Master Brand. Anyway, some user they prefer using Liquid coolant technology. Coolant technology is good but it is troublesome as need to maintain the coolant that's why I'm not using it.
For Hard disk, I prefer using WD brand because of their stabilities and quality. I have 2 units of hard disks in one casing, there are:
1 HD = 500G (I used for WinXP)
1 HD = 750G (I used for Win Vista)
Well, you might want to know what about my graphic card then? I'm using 7600GT. I still haven’t thinking of changing it for the time being as with my QX9650 processor and 4G memory is enough for me to play RA3 without any lagging issue.
I would like to show you the overview of my PC.
