Moving: Kite: Dino

Today is officially my last day at my parents' house. Tomorrow morning i'll be putting all my stuff in the boot of the car (my mum's car btw), turn on the ignition key and off to the end of the horizon, to where ever the wheels are taking me. ....Well, actually i will be heading to Bangi, to my new house, and a new job. I'm supposed to take my newly-purchased-used car, but sumthing went wrong with the radiator, so i am forced to borrow my mum's car till next week.

So much for starting a new life of independence. What can i say, changing cold turkey have never worked for me anyway; I always need to go through some sort of conditioning-transition phase...so that the overall changing process appears seamless. Not so adventurous ay?? I guess so...

A kite is not only meant for kids, and the colourful ones are definitely not only restricted to girls. Sometimes a dude has the right to chill at a park and fly a cute and colourful kite with the aid of the afternoon autumn breeze......... Ahh, blissful and peaceful. Only second to fishing.

A life size dinosour's skeleton is a must see for any London tourist. The London Natural History Museum holds hundreds (maybe thousands?) of authentic and replica fossils of long gone animals of the prehistoric age to modern day extinct organisms. Most of them are in the complete form.

Located within a walking distance to the famous Harrod's store and with no admission fee, one has no excuse to miss this tourist hot spot. Totally worth it. I spent half a day there, and yet only managed to cover half of the galleries. This place is huge.

Will It Blend? - A blender addict...

I browsed thru YouTube the other day and found this video of a guy blending golf balls with a blender. At first i thought that it was just an attempt to break his mother's blender by putting in sumthing stupid as some golf balls. So i just watched the video till the end, and to my astonishment, he really did manage to blend the golf balls. The balls were blended to the form of rubber dust!

Amazing!

I viewed the directors page, and saw some thirty over other similar videos of him trying to blend other things, i mean anything that he can ever think of. Things that you've never seen your mother put inside a blender. And the amazing thing is that more often than not, the blender he used managed to blend virtually everything that he shoved into it.

He blends everything: Football, coke cans, glass, metals, magnets, cassette, barbie dolls, and even an iPod!! But my favourite is the golf club. Yup, he actually made a nice blend of golf tees, golf balls and a Driver. Seriously.

In all his videos, he'll begin by saying "Will it blend?? that is the question...." and go about shoving all those ridiculous things into the blender before turning on the switch.

I later found out that the guy is actually trying to promote a blender from a company called "BlendTec". The videos are actually the company's promotional drive to introduce their rugged blender called "Total Blender" that can virtually blend anything, anything but itself. The blender is supposed to be very reliable and also indestructible.

Below is my fav video where he tries to blend a golf club.
