home entertainment..

my current home entertainment..
Astro (satellite tv), htpc (windows media center 2005), 2.1 speakers, 32" samsung lcd tv, PStwo, an IKEA table lamp and a lava lamp.. heh..
it should do enough for me now.. thank you all..
pic taken using Nikon D40X.. the flare from the flash (SB-600) was visible at the top of lcd tv.. even i tried to bounce it off the ceiling.. what a mistake..

new toys..

hmm.. got myself a few toys for me to play with.. well, those toys has been in my wishlist for a long time.. didnt have the urge to buy it before due to tight budget n such, but now, i'm proud to have 'em..
first, i bought a Nikon D40x DSLR.. not a new one actually.. a second hand from a friend that has just been using it for 3 months.. his reason of selling..?? he wants to upgrade to the Nikon D300.. a few of my friend says that i should have wait for the D300, but i dont know wether i can fork out Rm6k for it.. so, better i f i buy the RM2k+ for the D40X for my first DSLR.. the features is nearly the same as D80, and some says it's better that it's predecessors such as D50.. 10.2MP DSLR for is more than i need for now.. been capturing Oyen's pix for a while using my D40X, and i'm quite satisfied with it..
next was my new 6 channel heli.. heh.. couldnt get the 7 channel heli for below than RM500 in malaysia.. dont know wether u guys have found it somewhere, but 6 channel for rm300+, who can resist..?? heh.. the first hour was a wrecked.. lol.. been trying out the transmitter.. trying to get to know all the buttons' functions.. there's the one button that i shouldnt play with.. the button to change from the normal function to reverse function.. what a big mistake.. the heli suddenly flew at maximum speed and hit one of the pc in my office.. lol.. i was petrified of what to do as i've already turned off the transmitter but the heli just kept going.. the tail blade had flew the opposite direction as it hits a cpu.. and i found out that the tail blade has already broken as it cant rotate anymore.. *sigh* but with a few DIY, i manage to make it work but not as good a before..
the next day, i tried to fly it at the play ground at my house.. the tail blade just didnt work.. and it was a big mistake to flew it at all.. in the end it crashed to the playground.. the heli was flying smoothly, but it suddenly tilted and somehow it just went to the ground.. at high speed.. *sigh*.. the main blade were broken into two.. the plastic rotor head were broken into pieces.. hmm.. maybe a trip to a toy shop would cost me around RM200 to fix 'em..
*sigh*
