No more Halogen GU10

Most of my friends know that I have tons of pot lights in my house and pot lights (Halogen GU10) uses a lot of energy (at least 35W each).  I was always shocked every time when I looked at my energy bill, so my parents and I usually don’t turn any of them on because of that.  But some time ago, I was introduced to some new LED GU10 that uses as low as 5W power and it’s even brighter than halogen.  Although I have tried a few different brands LEDs, none of them is as bright as the ones I finally got (500 lumens), it’s about time to step into the new technology :p.

I thought about posting a picture of the final result but you can’t really tell the big difference unless you see it in person, so instead I am posting an aftermath picture, the leftover halogen GU10 bulbs :p  This is a picture of what happened after over 100+ bulbs were switched into LED bulbs 😀

So if anyone wants some halogen GU10s, feel free to let me know 😀  Oh, and you might also want to ask, how much I spent on my LEDs, the answer is “don’t ask” :p  But if you are interested to change all your halogen lights to LEDs, let me know and I will give you a price 😀

This is what I have replaced, uses 5w of power and 500 lumens, only about $10 each 😀

Ironman mark IV – Secret Project 1:6 by Hot Toys

My first ever Hot toys action figure, Ironman mark IV – Secret Project 1:6.  I bought this sometime ago, never hard a chance to open it up since I was running out of display cabinet space but after a few days cleaning out some of the old display toys, I finally got it on display.  The figure is 12″ tall, fully movable including fingers, LEDs on most possible areas, and it is a limited edition 😀  Thanks to my friend Eric Sam introduced this to me, this might be my next big hobby in the future and it ain’t a cheap one :p

I am already looking forward to buy another one soon, trust me, the quality of Hot Toys is extremely good.  If you have the space to display it, you should get them :p

LEGO Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano 1:10

The day has come, my LEGO Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano 1:10 is finally here!!!  A little story about this LEGO, it was released back in 2007, a limited edition and there is no way you can find it in stores now.  When it first came out, I really really wanted to get it, but too much thinking made it all gone everywhere and left me only regrets…  The price on eBay was going up every day so I thought, I would never get a chance to own this…  BUT, many many thanks to Cheryl for hooking me up with this deal, the whole process took a few months because this package was actually from Hong Kong by ship :p  Enough with the talk, time to open this set and enjoy it over the weekend!!!  Woot!!!

Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual

Most of my friends know that I am a super shopper/collector on all kinds of goodies when I see something I like, I usually get :p  This time, a watch!!  I had been looking for another watch for some time and I finally decided to get this Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual, mainly because I had never owned a kinetic watch plus I found a very good deal at Times Circle (時間坊)@ First Markham Place.  If anyone is wanting to get a Seiko watch, they are doing a promotion on Seiko right now, so don’t miss out the chance 😀

And of course, with this beauty on my hand, how could I resist to take a pretty picture with my NEX-5 :p

Action Figures

I was told by Sunny that an old friend Eric has been collecting action figures for years so I had to to see how crazy a toys collector can get with my own eyes.  Not a lot of people would use the space and display cabinets to show off their collections as neat as Eric really.  There were 3 cabinets for any robots action figures and more than 10 for 1:6 scale action figures, when I saw the whole setup of the displays, my jaw almost dropped to the floor because everything looked extremely nice.  Anyways, after a full tour of the room and a long chat with him, part of me was already thinking…  ummm, maybe I should start collecting some of those as a hobby as well…  Seriously, I never knew those human action figures could look that nice.  Anyways, I didn’t take a lot of pictures but you get the idea when you look at these 🙂
