PS4 Experience while playing it.













To become a PS4 player is not easy as I think. Besides the challenging of the games, I also have to find a suitable time to play. With having two kids already, it's quite difficult to find some spaces and times to focus and concentrate on the completion of the games. However, I have accomplished several games already even I just bought my PS4 in 3 months in the past. The first game that I have played was Assassin's Creed Black Flag which I believe one of the best third view person games all time.

After struggling for almost a month which I think very challenging, I have done all of the main story mission. From my opinion, the game was not too hard to be played. The very challenging experience was to find a suitable time. My youngest kid at the particular time was 2 months old and with my intention to finish playing it in short period of time, I have had a war with my baby and my wife as well.

After some times, I started to learn that I need to do think different strategy how in enjoying my hobby. Right now, I can play my PS4 everyday by starting reducing my sleep hour. Normally, I am quite sleepy person even the clock just showed at nine. Now, normally I will sleep at around 11.30 to  12 am.

Now, I am playing my third game which is Dragon Age Inquisition. I have a big problem because I have only one TV only and need to share with my wife. My wife really like to watch TV. When Astro launched Astro Beyond with PVR, I was thinking that she is the most happy person in Earth. She was starting to record series in watch it back all times. All of type of series including, of course, Korean Series, US, Latin, cooking programme, etc... After some times living in that way, I start watching Korean Series as well in ONE channel.

You know what, Korea people really expert in making series. If you realize, everyone in the series is connected to each other. That is the way how they can safe budget. In addition, the series can go up to more than 100 episodes which I think they exaggerated it too much on it. That is why I was saying to my wife, just inform me when it is at 90th episode. The current series that we are watching is love.... i forgot the title. I was informed it has 120 episodes. Because I have been watching it since episode 90, it is quite difficult to stop myself from ignoring it because the plots in the series makes you feel curious about what is going to be in the next episode. As the result, I have to defer my progress in the dragon age. Oh god..

Looking for foods in KL

In KL, one of the best thing you can find is  foods. As everybody know that Malaysia is a multiracial country which has a diversity of races and cultures. So its foods. I have read in news paper indicating that the biggest factor why expatriates stay in KL is because of a wide range of foods. As Malaysian, I am very proud and taking this advantage to look and taste variation of foods.

When my wife and I was still students in Bangi, our interest was same which was to find good eating places. And now, we have two children and we are still looking for a new place which has delicious and different taste of foods.

1. Chicken Chop
 

This is very famous food world widely. One of the best chicken chop we had eaten was at Palm Garden Restaurant in Bangi. I think the restaurant was belong to the Palm Garden Hotel. Back in 2007, I think the price was about RM17.00++, which was considered very expansive for a plate of chicken. The taste was amazing. Unforfunely, it was closed probably because its price tag.


2. Chinese Cuisine

We have tried four Chinese Muslim restaurants around Klang Valley area. After tasting and doing some analysis to the dishes between HJ Sharin Low, Adam Lai, Mee Tarik Warisan Asli and Mohd Chan Abdullah restaurant, we have decided to choose a winner among the competitors. Without hesitate we have chosen Adam Lai Restaurant as one of the best Chinese Restaurant in Klang Valley. Our favorite foods here are butter prawn, adam lai chicken and kung po chicken. Although there are quite expansive, but we feel they are really worth every single penny. This restaurant is belong to a very famous comedian  Abby Yus and his closed friend Chef Adam Lai. If I am not mistaken, currently they have more than 2 branches in KL.












Adam Lai Chicken



Butter Prawn


Chicken Kung Po

Now, I am really feel hungry again.

3. Seafood fast food.

My wife really like to eat and cook nontraditional foods especially abroad foods. She really like searching those recipes and restaurants in Internet by reading people reviews  from heavy internet users who have shared everything in their life. There are two seafood fast food restaurant in Malaysia that I knew, Fish & Co and Manhattan Fish Market. We tried it both and came out with opinion that Manhattan Fish Market is better. Actually, we have gone to the restaurants for about 10 times and we took the same dish every time we went there.



This is the dish that I mentioned just now. This is called flaming platter which consist of shrimp, dowry fish, oyster, squid, fries, rice and lemon. This menu will cost you more than 50 ringgit and can be shared for 2 persons. This is a really heavy dish and you would not handle it by yourself (unless you are starving to death). What makes this dish really special the waiter will burn the shrimp at your table. Making you feel eagerly to taste the mayo shrimp. My personal opinion is this is the most delicious shrimps I have ever tasted.




So. that's all from me this time. Adios.

FPV Budget Quadcopter in Malaysia

When I was a kid, I was always dream about to have a remote control car which I could play even from my bed. The one which I could view via its attached camera even from a far distance. The car might have the same speed with my dad's car which I could play while traveling. But right now, I believe that my dream was too sophisticated to be achieved even it was already 20 years, the current technology still couldn't make it. That feature is currently called first person view (FPV) which you can view the live video from your RC camera in given screen or even your mobile phone. There are a lot of choices out there but I am going to introduce some which is available in Malaysia and are designed for beginner.

3. Cheerson CX-30.
RC Iphone Android Wifi FPV Quadcopter + Camera - 4CH 2.4G CX-30 DJI

This is cheerson CX-30. A small quadcopter which consist in my dream feature. Bear in mind that this is the cheapest FPV quad in market. So, it is not completed to full fill all of people desires. By reading its spec, it is understood that it can be flown in a range of 30m but the live time video is only in a range of 20m. I believe that the stated 20m range is the number without any interference such wall or any barrier. One of the biggest drawbacks of this drone is its flying time. 5-6 min is really not enough playing this rc. You might need extra batteries rather than waiting more that 1 hour to fully charge it. Well, the price would not be more that RM300.00 and I think this is the most budget quad if you still want an FPV feature's drone.

2. Hubsan H107D


Be the smallest FPV quad, this RC is the very suitable drone for the beginner. Its spec it better than CX-30, so its price tag. Selling for around RM500 ++, make it the most expensive micro size drone.  Although it has a small size, but the flying radius and live video distance is up to 100m. However, by flying 100m away will make it seems very small and you might need an extra glasses to track back your drone. One more thing, its transmitter is already equipped with LCD screen so no need for you to use your mobile phone as the monitor.

1. WLtoys V666


WLtoys V666 is the best budget FPV quad I think in Malaysia. It has RM650.00 ++ price tag and has 200m  flying and live video radius. However, the price is excluded the lcd screen. It is big drone, so it is not suitable for indoor.


 I really love the drone because it is also practical as aerial photographer and videographer training intruments. WLtoys is really becoming a good name in building quadcopter. They provide so many spare parts to fix or even upgrade your drone. Anti shocked camera together with shocked absorber is really very good innovation. Of course that it cannot compete with GoPro with gimbal, but at least they give some hope and chance for beginner  to train and practice before getting the professional drone. Besides, you can also upgrade and convert you WLtoys quad to become FPV quad. You can find the information here:

This is the parts that you can get to upgrade your quad. But not many people have done it before. There are probably some technical issue you might face in upgrading your device since it will consume more power and give more weight to your quad.

Well, that's the list that I think probably the most practical quadcopter to get with medium price tag. You can find a lot of other drones with have an FPV feature by surfing to international shopping website. Make your own comparison and share it.That's all for now. Thanks.
