it's quite reasonable.. i think it's infra-red instead of the usual radio frequency types.. it's US$30
getting one for my friend (daughter's 1 this sunday) too...
the shipping is about US$15
check this out => Picoo Z in action
cool isn't it? -
Hmmm at US$30... yup quite a reasonable price... a bit noisy eh.Originally posted by the Bear:it's quite reasonable.. i think it's infra-red instead of the usual radio frequency types.. it's US$30

Why not you get one of those UFOs folks play at Clarke Quay? I think playing with a heli on my own, I'd get bored after a while... 
-
the UFO just goes up and down.. i've tried it.. this allows you to fly it in different directions..
you should see some of those which i saw at Fook Hai Building... they have variable pitch for the rotors.. which makes it very very nimble.. but out of my league.. and they start at around $800Originally posted by MooKu:Hmmm at US$30... yup quite a reasonable price... a bit noisy eh.

Once I watched this show on toys for the rich... They showed this huge remote-controlled aeroplane that was orange in color and about 1 meter in length -
oh.. if you want remote controlled planes, they're relatively cheap..
you can get them at toy shops...
then you have to look at the bigass ones.. they even have jet engined r/c planes!
i'll go confirm with my friend first.. actually, if anyone wants, can add on to the order... the shipping will be shared out coz it'll be cheaper to order more

watching Animal Planet now...
it's the Canine Conspiracy... where they turn everything on its head and say that dogs have been manipulating humankind as long as they have been around to look after them
dogs are EVIL -

yeah.. dogs get free food and lodging for being cute...
some working dogs just do what they usually do but the humans take all the risk -
Thats just so fucked up.Originally posted by kopiosatu:yah.
i was so surprise when they wanted to catch me this time.
just for taking photos of our aircraft.
i mean, bloody hell... i take photo of the aircraft, looks nice... images of people enjoying the detachment that everyone hates to go.
but NO. they pick on things like, one of the photos is lewd, drinking alcohol, we're in uniform.
what the fuck man. i'm so fed up with SAF and the fact that there are people who are PAID to surf and look at photos.
And yes, when I was in Mindef they really did have this guy who's job was to do nothing but surf the internet, especially the online forums, to dig up any negative things said about the SAF. He'd write regular reports on whatever he dug up.
Fucking bean counters -
And the gahmen wants to make Singapore into some Arts hub.Originally posted by kopiosatu:we got guys who are interested in photography. after looking at the photos they wanted to bring their cameras there to have practice shots.
now, they are thinking otherwise.
bloody SAF, education system and the bloody government. whenever i try to edge towards the arts i get rapped for doing that.
since school, i loved drawing... anything but studying about chemicals and physics. and i always get scolded for drawing all the time. now look at the illustrators in the world, they are earning big bucks doing what they love to do.
the least the stupid organisation can do is throw me to some unit where i can take photos, instead the first thing on their mind is to punish and still expect me to do my primary job well. must be kidding me.
Will NEVER happen while the PAP is in power. Just ask those in the local arts scene that kena all sorts of censorship shit by the fucking MDA. -
i call it paranoia..
those who cannot stand criticism will find conspiracies against them in anything...
note the MIW -
BTW, the Malaysian gahmen also damn good at censorship.
Did you know that when the Punisher movie was aired there, it was heavily censored, and they even inserted something extra into the movie to change the ending?
The something extra was some clumsily inserted text before the credits stating that Frank Castle was later arrested and sentenced to life in prison. The Malaysian authorities must have felt that the movie was encouraging violence, and so they needed to show the audience that you will be punished for commiting murder. No, I am not making this up -
well, look at zoolander
why is there bloody golf all the time on tv?
golf has got to be the most boring spectator sport around... whack.. walk walk walk walk.. whack.. walk walk walk walk... whack...
can't they show something else? anything?? -
Bear, have you watched Eight Below?
I cried watching that show.
Such brave and united dogs... -
nope.. i think i would have fallen asleep in that movie.. not my kinda movie actually...

uhh.. sea lion? those rare attack anything other than fish or squid..
sea leopards eat penguins and other seals
elephant seals can't move fast enough to chase dogs
i think hollywood hashed it
in other news, watching the friday night fights on tv, dude just got KO'ed in the first roundOriginally posted by MooKu:But they have a lion seal attacking the dogs you know. Very Discovery-ish! -

actually, now that you say it, i wonder where i got the term 'lion seal' from. -
a slip of the tongue is no fault of the brain.. here it's fingers
i just ate an orange and i still feel a little hungry... maybe i'll eat another.. they're pretty small...
right now, every pore in my body is crying out for a good greasy cheeseburger
maybe after i'm well, i'll go to Carl's Jr to have a big oneOriginally posted by MooKu:oh um hmmm.
