EA Active Sport 2

I hope it's still not too late to wish to you all a happy new year. Hope everyone had a good Christmas holiday and wish 2011 would bring us happiness, good health.. and most importantly peace to the world crisis. Today I would like to share review about a great exercise game developed by EA. This game is an improvement from its previous version. It comes with a heart rate monitor, two motion sensors and a resistant band. The game has gone through a series of thorough research by exercise experts and even backed by the England new sport ambassador, David Beckham. The price is around £60 but currently Game store make an offer purchase for £10 off. I've already tried four workout sessions in the last week and I found the exercises in the game reasonably extensive and well-planned. There is a virtual personal trainer to guide me along the series of exercises according to my choice, they take roughly 20 minutes to 40 minutes depending on the sessions I opt for. I did a literally short 20-minutes session workout but it did make me sweat and felt knackered afterwards. Overall, I think this game is a superb buy, would definitely recommend it to people who don't have time or money to go to gym cause you could still keep fit at your own home with your own time schedule. Here I posted the unboxing video for the game, hope you enjoy it and perhaps next time I could probably post some clips of me doing the workout itself!

Buying new Tele, Here a buying Guide from Cnet US..

Just found this useful article from Cnet US about Dan Ackerman sharing his experience bought new Samsung 3D tele. As far as I know there is a lot of debate about 3D tele at the moment...it is worth the money?. I'm not sure but I can tell you next week because I just bought myself a 42" Panny Plasma 3D tele. This purchase have make a big hole in  my bank account. I hope it worth a lot!!!! :)

Its started last weekend when I saw an advertisement from  BEST BUY about vat refund from SONY for 3D tele. I decided to have a look as their offer a lot of stuff like 2 pair 3D glass, 3D blue ray player and 3D movie. Hence, I went to John Lewis in Saint Davis 2 but I felt disappointed with  it performance even the tele is LED balacklight which is great features for today tele. Next to the SONY is Panasonic (Panny) VT25 and I decide to compare this tele to the sony .... Oh my GOD, unbelievable image quality (3D) produced by the Panny but the price is more expensive and not offer any bundle. 

After that, I decided to drop by at Curry  then an epic drama begin when the sale person told me that they have an offer for Panny GT20 which is an entry level of 3D tele and they throw a lot of accesories with the tele such as 2 pair 3D glass, 3D blue ray player, 3D movie, wall mount, 1.4 HDMI cable, screen cleaner and 5 years warranty. Straight away it turn me crazy...lol unable to control my self and decided to make a purchase after 2 hours bargain battle with the sale guy. I considered I got a good deal even my missus not happy about it. The only thing that up sad me is I need to wait a week for a delivery. Add to the frustration I just sold my old Samsung 32" tele on Ebay and now no tele in my house. My wife going to miss her X-factor this weekend...:-/. 

I will post a review on this tele soon and hope I get what I paid for because there is a mix review about 3D tele and plasma. However, I believe it down to the person it self, how much money you willing to pay for this premium. For me this is the best time to buy new tele because is festive sale season. Consider, Uk gov will increase VAT next year and I going home to Malaysia for good, ok guys do check out cnet link and happy weekend.

Wireless Mouse GIGABYTE GM-M7700

Hi all,

Tonight is the coldest night ever, ;( I tried to push my self to do some of my PhD work, sadly I in no mood to read any journal or reference paper. Hence, I decided to do a short review about my recent purchased.  I have bought a wireless mouse to replace my 6 years old Toshiba wired mouse. The main reason I got this mouse is to reduce my work station cluttered with wired such as power supply cable, printer cable and etc. 

I did research about wireless mouse and stumble this little one, GIGABYTE GM-M7700. Most people prefer Logictec but the price is twice much compared to this one which only cost me £16 from play.com. The mouse pack with a lot of features such as 2.4G wireless up to 10m range, 6++ months of battery life, DPI adjustable, Tile wheel and importantly is laser mean work on any surface. 

However, the only downside is the I reckon this mouse is suitable for small hand person like me :)  but I don't think this is a major issue. Here, I attached a short review video and few photos. Hope you all enjoyed and good night.

How the Bible Led Me to Islam: The Story of a Former Christian Youth Min...

Hi and Salam to all,

A wonderful video that I would like to share with everyone especially the non-muslim. The truth is here as you can see a person that tried really hard to find the truth and finally found it. However, for me born as a Muslim but forget about this and what has been tought by my mum and my religion teacher. Thanks to Allah by giving me another chance to correct my self and hope I will stay in the right path...Ameen

Folding Bike

It's been ages I have not update this blog. Lately I've been busy with my PhD work, I spent most of my time in High Voltage Laboratory. Anyhoo, I got really excited stuff to share with you all, I just bought a second hand Brompton Folding Bike a month ago from Ebay at a bargain price. Generally, the bike price is around £700 brand new but will cost more when customise and can cost up to £1500.  However I managed to get it around £500 considered the original price is around £900.

I did asked my dear friend Firdaus to collect the bike for me then two weeks later me and my beloved wife went to London. It is not bad though, carried the bike from London back to Cardiff due to it brilliant engineering design I managed to carried it from Elephant and Castle tube station to Victoria Coach station with out much problem. The bike weight is around 10Kg hence can be considered quite light.   

Here, the bike specifications:

Model: M6L

Gear Speed: 6

Color: White

Other: Carrier, rear and front lamp with dynamo.

I'm really glad bought this bike and my wife loved it too. Now my journey to school is much  faster and on the weekend my wife ride it while I jog. Overall it can be said worth the money and great investment because I still can get my money back if I sell it on Ebay. I did not make any video review on the bike yet but here few photos and video sample from youtube...Enjoy...

Nicely folded

My wife as a Brompton Unpaid Model

Her first Cardiff Car Boot Sale

My wife always went to car boot sale when she was a student in Bristol, so she missed her old day of getting cheap stuff. That the main reason she nagging me all the time to show her Cardiff car boot sale location. In contrast, I hate car boot sale for the last 6 year or so, I only went less than 10 times to car boot sale. My opinion on car boot is people want to bin junk so what I will buy is a others people junk. However, I do agree sometimes you will get good stuff but it is require a regular visit to car boot which can cause an impulse spending. 

Last 2 week her wish is granted , a friend of mine offer us to tag along to car boot. My wife really excited and we went to Splott and Bessemer car boot sale. I prefer Bessemer compared to Splott car boot sale area because it is more bigger and have a lot of seller. Unfortunately, we only bought a set of utensils...:) because every time she like something I just not agree with her, that switch off her mood a little bit..lol.

Then after car boot we went to Global warehouse store which sell food but in bulk quantity. Here, I splash my cash buying a lot of dry and packing food for a winter stock..lol just joking. The food price is cheap compare to normal shop like a bag of 5kg long grain rice is £1 cheaper compared to Masaala Bazar. After I thought we done for today, suddenly my mate told me that their going to Asda. So we just head there and bought some fish. Here, a picture of friendly fish monger with his fish collection in store..lol Overall, we have really great day  and I want to thanks to Fadzly and his wife for this half day out event. Cheers guys! By the way no more car boot for me...lol
