My LEGO!

*UPDATED LINK

LEGO! It is one of the toys that I never had during my happy childhood days. A few days ago, I accompanied my mum to make a trip to my Auntie's house. As the two sisters were chatting happily and my 3rd sister was playing with my niece, I was left alone watching the stupid TV programme.

After taking a nap I was totally attracted by the LEGO, which my niece was playing with. Since she doesn't really pro in playing LEGO, I started to play with her. At first, I just simply made a shape similar to Pyramid, or just stack them up until very tall. This kind of LEGO is so boring, so typical, so EASY to make. In order to make a break through, I poured out all the LEGO and started to sort them out by shape and colours.

The wheels, policeman, prisoner, gates and lamps gave me an immediate image of a police car with the prisoner behind. I started to make according to my idea. The first police car I made was smaller than the final one. During the progress, I tried to make it more realistic. Hence, I added in the gates, steering wheel, cover, the siren of the police car and so on. My ears were totally shut down. I couldn't even hear what the rest were talking about. I paid full concentration in making my first ever LEGO police car. I even asked my niece to stop playing LEGO so that I could take whatever material I need. Hence, she was sitting besides me, patiently and quietly witnessed the completion of the police car.

It took me about 30 minutes to complete this police car. The duration was too long? Nope! I don't think so. It may be looked like a simple car but to me, it is not. This may due to I made a lot of changes along the way to beautify it. The 30 minutes was totally fulfilling to me! YES! I've made it!!! I was like a small kid showing the police car to my mum, 3rd sister, Auntie and niece. I felt so great.

Since this is my first ever LEGO police car, I took back to Malaysia and took the photoes. No matter how foolish or childish you think I am, I don't care! I want to tell the whole world, THIS IS MY WORK » LEGO, THE POLICE CAR!

NBA PLAYOFFS 2006 CHAMPION


NBA PLAYOFFS 2006
*picture taken from http://www.nba.com/playoffs2006*
Congratulations to the Eastern Conference Champion, Miami Heat and Western Conference Champion, Dallas Mavericks. It was their first Conference Champion as well as their first NBA Grand FINALS in team history.
Dallas is led by the Coach of the Year 2006, Avery Johnson, who was one of the great NBA players. Dallas is considered as a team of shooters. Starting line up will be Josh Howard, Jason Terry, DeSagana Diop, Devin Harris and 5 time NBA Allstar + Foot Locker Three-point Shootout 2006 winner, Dirk Nowitzki, in addition with Dallas's best sixth-man, Jerry Stackhouse.
Miami relies much on his two trump cards, 9 time NBA Allstar + 3 NBA Playoff MVP + 2 time- NBA All-Defensive + selected as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA History in 1996, Shaquille O'neal, and 2006 NBA playoff MVP + 2 time NBA All-Defensive + 2006 Playstation Skill Challenge Winner, Dwyane Wade. The rest of the starting line-up were Jason Williams, Udonis Haslem and Antoine Walker. In addition, great players like Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning were in Miami Heat's bench.
I watched every games they played. In the starting 2 games played @ Dallas, Miami Heat lost by double figures. On Game 3, the home team, Miami was under great pressure as they had to stop the losing streak or else, they would hand the champion to Dallas. It was a tough game for Miami, include players, coach and the fans. After ups and downs in the game, Miami managed to sneak with a narrow win through over time. Yes, it is a turning point of the Grand Finals between the Eastern Conference Champion and Western Conference Champion. Miami Heat regain their confidence, played better and better for the coming games. They cruised through 4 winning streak and won the championship!

Below are the results:
Game 1: DAL 90, MIA 80 (Dallas Home)
Game 2: DAL 99, MIA 85 (Dallas Home)
Game 3: MIA 98, DAL 96 (Miami Home)
Game 4: MIA 98, DAL 74 (Miami Home)
Game 5: MIA 101, DAL 100 (Miami Home) (OT)
Game 6: MIA 95, DAL 92 (Dallas Home)
Miami Heat: 2005-06 NBA Champions
