Mini Raleigh Cheong-per

Found this cheong Raleigh Chopper last month. It is a direct copy of the original but a smaller size. Front wheel measures 12" (original:16"); rear wheel measures 16" (original: 20"). Unlike the original it does not come with 3 speed gear. This miniature bike is so cute I had to buy all three colours: green, red & grape! Shop owner said it is at least 35 years old. Hard to believe "cheong-ing" has been around then.

Yashica EZ F521 Digital

Bearing a quality name from a long time ago, the new Yashica EZ F521 is a small, light, lots of plastic, retro-styled digital camera. Tis is not a state-of-the-art digital, but closer to an iphone camera or Holga toy cameras using medium format 120 film. For this reason, the F521 has been dubbed as the “Digital Holga”.



Featuring a 43mm equivalent prime lens. The pared-down Yashica EZ F521 has a 1/2.5” type 5-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 2.4” TFT LCD screen, a 43mm equivalent f/3 lens with two focus settings, 1.5m to infinity and a “macro” setting for subjects between 20-40cm from the sensor plane, all with a twist of the lens, but the results on macro are more of misses then hits.



The electronic shutter offers shutter speeds ranging from 1/2 second to 1/500 second, while the ISO range is unknown & not user controllable. The camera runs on 3 AAA type batteries and records images (as well as VGA-resolution videos) on SD and SDHC cards.



The price is 7980 yen in Japan, but only SGD$99 at Mustaffa (with 2GB Kingston SD card FREE).

When Form Meets Function

Introducing the Dyson Air Multiplier 01. Finally here & locally it is cheaper by 25% (vs when I first saw the actual item in Osaka)

Samsung Series6 6200

My 2 year old LCD tv had to break down in the mids of World Cup! After missing out on 1 week of matches, & it was still not fixed. So I went out & got the new LED TV just before the round of 16! Slimmer, lighter. cheaper & more HDMI ports! Should have gotten the 46" as LED comes with very little side frames, so now it looks very small on my wall.
Now that the World Cup is over, the LCD is still not back from the workshop yet...

Inspired by the Joker’s clothing, and sport a green and purple colorway. No word yet on a specific release date but it is rumored that they will be released sometime during Spring 09

Jul 2008
Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro - TMNT Donatello (Baroque Brown / Radiant Green)

This is one of my favourite pair of dunks & it features a brown suede upper with green leather inserts, as well as purple laces.

Dec 2007
Adidas x Star Wars - The Force Consortium Pack



They are called and the black pair reflects the darkside (Darth Vader) while the tan pair reflects Yoda and the Rebel Alliance.

Oct 2007
Nike Womens Sample Dunk High - The original Storm Trooper Dunk High (White/Black)

This particular color-way is a little reminiscent of the SW Stormtrooper, but it is a forgotten pair now a days. A few pairs manage to hit eBay.

May 2004
The Nike Dunk Low Pro SB - Jedi / Yoda (khaki / baroque brown / safari)

Given that nickname because the neon laces that the shoes come with resemble a lightsaber. To go along with the neon laces, the Nike Dunk SB Jedi feature a neon green heel tab and contrast stitching throughout. The rest of the upper consists of green leather with grey suede inserts. The brown midsole and Nike swoosh seem weird at first, but do mix well with the rest of the colorway.

Mar 2003
Nike Dunk High Pro SB - Hulk (camper green / black / deep forest)

This was Nike SB’s third all suede dunk high, this one featured a variety of green shades hence the Nike Dunk SB Hulk nickname. They were initially looked passed but now are highly sought by collectors and fanatics alike.
