This is so childish but it cracks me up

First off...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I've started mixing music again, since I've really missed doing that for the past 2 years while being posted in the UK. Been rather outta touch, but at the same time I've learnt some new tricks

So I've put a track together, completely of my own composition and production. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea since it's a pretty heavy guitar instrumental and you may find some elements a little cliched (haha) - but please, feel free to post some honest critiques.


You should be seeing a Flash plug-in above. If not, head on over to the music page. You can check out the rest of the music I've produced over there as well.

ps - If you're seeing this on Facebook Notes, chances are the Flash plug-in doesn't work. Please go directly to my website to listen to the track - http://www.yuejon.com.

pss - Yes, I call it "Panties up in a bunch". The phrase amuses me.

psss - I refuse to do anymore commentary on the state of our country at this point as it sickens me so.

Product website - It even comes on a nice checkered flag

Imagine starting up your modern, boringly silent car and the interior is filled with the thrilling sound of a powerful Super Sports Car engine... Shift in the first gear, hit the gas pedal and the driving experience will really excite you! In every phase of driving - accelerating, decelerating, shifting, cruising and idling - the sound is so convincing that it actually fools your senses to believe that you are driving the real thing, a Super Sports Car! How It Works SoundRacer has a developed a special technology to sense and calculate the car engine rpm and produce the sounds of a powerful Super Sports Car engine. The sound changes as you drive and SoundRacer even increases the speed of the engine sound so that you can drive at a normal speed and still get a very exciting engine sound. A built in FM transmitter transfers the sounds on a selectable frequency to the car stereo system. It also works as a standard Car FM-transmitter for MP3 players with a line in socket that provides an input for playing music on the car stereo.

"Wow, hey, I can't afford to put a turbo on my lil 800cc engine, but I'm gonna make my Kancil sound like a V10 inside. Virtual reality babeh!"

Ok, if you can't figure out what this thing is, it basically is an FM transmitter which you plug into your car's cigarette lighter and makes V8 or V10 (you've got options!) vroom-vroom sounds through your car radio. Hell, it even accelerates and decelerates as you drive...

I guess this contraption is for the closet ricer who's too embarassed to put the 6 foot spoiler and 12 inch muffler he's been lusting for on his lil Kancil, but still wants to hear and experience the V10 roar. Nope, he doesn't have to make "vroom vroom" sounds himself anymore as he goes 80km/h on the North South expressway.

You know what, those annoying lil Kancils with the loud 12 inch mufflers do annoy the hell out of me. I'd highly recommend this product. Keep your loud and unnecessary mods to yourselves.

So after gutting out my old case, wiping through 1cm thick of dust (in some corners of the case, I kid you not), throwing out a useless motherboard, and putting in some shiny new components, The Beast is alive again and running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit!!!

I primarily set this machine up for music production, so that the band and I can start recording again. I also intend to use it for photo processing (got to love the 24" screen). I didn't think I'd need an i7 since I don't do any serious gaming, so I settled with the i5. But that didn't stop me from getting the Radeon... in case I decide to squeeze in a game or two . So there's a bit of the old and new in the setup.

Took a bit of wrestling with some of the drivers to get things working properly on Windows 7, but I've got it all sorted out now. Coupla tips for those of you who may have a similar setup - Don't install the RAID drivers if you decide to get the P7P55D motherboard. It conflicts with a number of drivers (unless you intend to use RAID, which I can't help you with). Also, there's also a USB sleep mode by default under the power management section. If you happen to be using a USB soundcard, I recommend you TURN IT OFF as it bugged the hell out of me everytime it took about 5 seconds for my soundcard to respond to anything.

Despite that, I've got to say my Windows 7 experience is a good one and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get rid of Vista. The interface is bloody brilliant. Very responsive and user friendly, although it may not come intuitively to those of you who are coming from XP. Maybe give it a lil more time if you have some old hardware you want to use with it so that manufacturers can come up with Windows 7 compatible drivers.

So here's a breakdown of the specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
CPU: Intel Core i5 @ 2.66GHz (Overclocks easily to 3.66Ghz)
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR3
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD4870
HDD: Western Digital 1TB SATA + Seagate 300GB SATA
PSU: Gigabyte Superb 720 (610W RMS)
Display Monitor: 24" Samsung SyncMaster P2450
Keyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000
Webcam: LogiTech QuickCam E3500 Plus
Sound Card: Line 6 TonePort UX2
Studio Monitors: KRK Rokit 5

Guts of The Beast. All shiney and blue with a gigantic heatsink on the CPU


The final setup.

w00t!!! 24 inches baby!!! ... and that's just my monitor!!! ... and they all want me to "dominate"


The tech savvy guys can figure out the rest of the stuff

Now to go gut and clean the old ATX case. Ugh... P4... phhhbttt....

Singapore already ahead in 'food fight' with Malaysia

I actually find it hilarious that it's only now that Malaysia has decided to stake a claim into what is our food - fueled by the whole, tit-for-tat fight on the pendet dance no doubt (which clearly isn't ours, and rightly Balinese Indonesian). Yes, it wasn't the fault of the Malaysian tourism ministry for that particular advert but that of the Discovery Channel's, but it does imply how poorly marketed Malaysia's heritage and culture is when the Discovery Channel can't tell what's Indonesian and Malaysian. Blame it on Discovery's lack of research, but the tourism ministry's poor marketing has a hand in this too, in my opinion.

But back to the article; as it aptly points out, all our neighbors have been quite efficient about marketing their own stake on their food. I'm not going to add on more to what's already there, but the one thing that I find rather peculiar is the stake on Hainanese Chicken Rice being Malaysian or Singaporean.

Hang on... so it's called Hainanese Chicken Rice right? So... where's Hainan island again? Right. China. Well correct me if I'm wrong, but if the dish was truly Malaysian (or Singaporean), it would be called Malaysian Chicken Rice or Singaporean Chicken Rice. Nope. It's Hainanese. I don't see how it can be associated with Malaysia or Singapore if it's still going to be called Hainanese.

On a personal note, my Grandparents were from Hainan, which makes my mom Hainanese and myself half Hainanese. My Grandmother taught my Mom how to cook chicken rice, and Mom makes a mean Hainanese Chicken Rice. Mom's chicken rice is one of my all time favourite dishes. Being only half-Hainanese myself, my attempts at chicken rice are always only half as good haha. But as far as I'm concerned, within my family, the Hainanese Chicken recipe was brought over by my Grandmother who has passed it down the family line.

This "food fight" is already lost in my opinion.

Bwahahahahaha I found this hilarious . Brilliant satire on iPhone fanboys who think their iPhones can do everything



My Windows Mobile phone does everything

My tribute to Les Paul (Lester William Polfuss), creator of the greatest guitar in the world, who died at 94 years of age last month. The Gibson Les Paul guitar is by far my favourite style of guitar - for it's looks, versatility and tone. Les Paul is also credited to be the inventor of multi-track recording, which revolutionized music as we now it today.

Brilliant guitarist.
Revolutionary inventor.
RIP Les Paul.

P.s. - I know this is a little late for this post since he had passed on about a month ago, but better late than never.

... Stir Fry Five Spice Lamb. Not too shabby

Well, I'm going to try and pick up this blog again. Nothing much in mind, so I thought I'd post up some night shots I've taken in the past.
