WOOH O_O

okay, so friday's blocks.... eh, was hoping to beat my high score for essay during the block test itself, but one glance at the questions told me otherwise. so i took a totally different approach for the test. did question 2 about some pandora box. instead of the usual 3+2+2 i decided to show how it is similiar to a pandora's box. lol, and well.... i dunno wad i was writing. seriously. all i did was hold onto the pen and enjoy the write. been a long time since i felt that sensation, much less in an exam setting. ah, the good old fanfic days.... long gone man, long gone....oh well, hope this experiment will pay off. lol. *btw, turns out mr heng set qn 2. lol, no wonder it seemed so... familiar* anyway, paper 2 is a killer. 15min of staring at the passage and still catch no ball. oh well, just hamtam and use my luck @_@

sat didn't do much, got dragged by my sis to teh local arcade, aka timezone. yes, looking at the games u feel like ur trapped in the past. no new games AT ALL. where's my spirits of zeon or Gundam vs Gundam!? at least they have pinball. and so, was dragged there to basically pay for her games >_< oh well, did manage to take my RX7 for a spin around wangan. and my skillz, wooh.... all down the drain.

today, SMC meeting! woo, our 3mth plan is very very detailed and laid-out. tml we'll be heading down to kampong glum CC to present our goals, ideas, etc etc to the CC committee and see how. lots of pretty classified info, so can't really share it here. ^ ^

then after that went to taka to check out the compy pieces. felt very very sad, cuz i couldn't enter at teh last minute. a small mistake resulted in a lot of plastic melting, so yea... my kti is screwed. oh well, all the best to those taking part.

and the gunpla discount, everything dirt cheap, to the point that there's nothing left, save the $100+ ones. >_< why, oh why...... i have a lot of stuff i wanted u know....

yippie, tv is back up again (after a lot of hard knocks), so can PS2 again.

2008-05-17T19:21:00.000+08:00

T_T wasted effort

so yep, I failed to get my kit into the competition. sure, I can switch 8 colours in 1 hour, but I can't do anything about the kit itself. at the last minute, got a lot of unlucky stuff happening, such as plaplate melting due to the cement, parts of puty that cannot be sanded off w/o damaging the sides, and etc. all in all, it was pretty much a disaster. oh well, better luck next time. at least now can start work on toshy's freedom >_<

anyway, during the cheonging, met someone known as "nick". lol, wonder where Lockie found such a perfect clone of me. He's exactly like me, way of thinking, sense of humour, heck he even has a gunpla collection much much bigger than mine!

me: I got a METEOR.
nick: I have 1 too. and I have 3 GN arms
me: wtf
nick: and 3 of each throne, and 12 murasames, and 3 exias, 5 strike noirs, etc etc
me: T_T and I only have 10 strike daggers. and they're NGs. say, how big is ur collection?
nick: gunpla only around 200? i also have around 4k+ worth of zoids.
me: !!!!! and I have a spino with the full weapon load
nick: I have 5 berserk furhers.
me:..... can I kill u? please....
nick: and I have a dog. its a german shepherd, around 5 yrs old already.
me: I also used to have a dog for 1 year. a rough collie, u know lassie? btw u play WMMT3?
nick: yeah. I have 5 cars, all fully tuned, around A3.
me: .....I have a rx7 at B7. and I wurve my car.... T_T

so yeah, dun be surprised if you guys find a clone running around outside. be surprised if they are much more you than you though. lol

moving on, fell sick cuz of all the gunpla cheonging. so mum made me go see a doctor after I caught some coughing from my big sis. it also doesn't exactly help that I just bought a box of 100 surgeon masks, so yes... made to wear one. either way, its pretty contagious, whole family tio liao. if ur kena also, can come ask masks from me. still ahve around 80+ left.

for some reason, CCA still active. *i tot all J2 dun have CCA liao?* what nice timing. oh well, at least can spend more time kacheowing the J1s.

hmm, time to save up $$$ and expand my gunpla collection. got a lot of new stuff I want.

2008-04-29T23:30:00.000+08:00

WOOT!

filled with a lot of sense of accomplishment!

1stly, like some of you may have already known *thanks to my shameless advertising lol* I'm selected as a commitee member for Scale Modelling Organisation of Singapore (SMOS for short). we are going to be legit in a few more weeks, around end May. anyway, my job is to update members on the latest gundam happenings and also in charge of the entries for this year's gundam 00 competition.

speaking of 00 competition, sheng tai toys decided to shift the deadline one week earlier. >_< really have to cheong my kit liao lor.... the upper leg is done, and the wings also, so now left with the rest of the kit to modify. hope can finish in 2 weeks, leaving 1 last week to paint and do diorama and etc.

new deadline: 17 May. thanks man, sheng tai, you suck

academic wise, finally dug through "mount never-rest", a huge stack of paper in my room where i dump my notes. lol, could even find sec 3 stuff in it, omfg... teacher doesn't seem too happy with the file, but hey, you try digging through mount never-rest and you tell me.

just a while ago, knocked some sense into my tv, and switch on the PS2 for some ace combat. managed to successfully complete some stunts which I've failed miserably in the past, and also managed to complete gauntlet mode with the F14. tomcat all the way!

my favourite plane, the F-14 tomcat. too bad its gone now, retired mid-2007. good night, sweet prince.

lol, so now really looking forward to

a) band. think the pieces I can play pretty decently, so better some support m'kay?

b) MY KIT! oi, SMOS tua kee leh, how can dun enter competition? lol. must do swee swee, so got some oomph, like show I worthy of my rank. still, 17 May, hmm rush rush...

2008-04-20T20:43:00.000+08:00

>_<

hmm this week, pretty interesting stuff going on....

thursday, went for my sis's sch concert at Singapore Conference Hall. SYF people will know it as "the battlefield" lol. anyway, see beh idea lor. Band, C.Orchestra, Dance, Chior and Drama one shot perform together O_o back to back sia. once the CO or Band stop playing, Drama take over. then after that, back to their turn, when the music starts, Dance and Chior come out of nowhere and perform. then the finale, all together, with band and co TOGETHER OMFG, that's like what I've always thought of. overall, very very nicely done, though the individual groups arent really that powderful, the coordination is more than perfect.

anyway, today, went down to the clubhouse (FINALLY!!! ONE WHOLE F-ING MONTH NEVER GO YOU KNOW!? [censored] SCHOOLWORK AND ETC!!!). talks are in place for turning it into a "society". yes, plastic modelling society. if aero modelling can, why not plastic modelling? lol. of course, there's a bad news. the clubhouse will be gone soon. haiz, pretty lots of memories. oh well, its like we're finally leaving the nest so as to speak, from a shop to a clubhouse to in future, a full-fledged workshop of sorts.

k, so I brought my gundam mkII back home (now its sleeping in a corner of my cupboard, looks tired lol) and started work on the Flag/Enact (or Flagnact rofl). just a quick straightbuild to see where to mod and etc. nothing much done yet, except for a ton of planning. then after that, play lunchmoney with the regulars (why am I always 1st to KO in that game!?). also settled some very important planning about the society thing, like location, what we are going to do, etc. actually, this planning is the reason why I had to go down today (else I'd rather use the day to help the GIS people. sorry Tinnesh and XinYi, had to freeload again. sincere apologies)

then what about Saturday? woke up late, go Band do some stuff for our upcoming concert (cannot give spoiler, sorry), then back home, cheong hmwk, slp. did I eat dinner?

23 May, deadline for the gundam 00 competition. Flagnact, I'm counting on you!

and don't forget the mini exia. speaking of which, i need to buy an exia so i can accurately scratchbuild a smaller version >_< my poor financial consultant, Mr W. Allet is probably going to be mad at me...

2008-04-16T04:49:00.000+08:00

anyway, its 4.49am now. wow, just managed to finish some homework (and i failed to keep my promise of clearing all the maths homework by this week). since there's no point sleeping, going to have to just tahan bah. damn, wednesday is going to be a looooooong day.... and im already too tired (to even build gunpla. yes, i can seem to make any sense of the instruction sheet O_o)

k, so i guess its internetz surfing all the way until school time.

2008-04-13T00:30:00.000+08:00

ARGH!

okay, the school management and etc needs to be improved in some areas. me and zy came for our "detention" and basically, it didn't exist. >_< *waves fist at school*

okay, so nevermind. pretty uneventful week. PW results out, did much better than I expected. BUT felt quite sad lah, like some people should've gotten much better results lor. and lucky zy didn't have to murder anyone lol.

got accidentally chosen for a solo part for a piece (oh great). just because i was the only one at "ready" position, lol. okay, not too bad, but means i have to practice more >_< oh, do support our concert, 3rd may, saturday, at our rotting campus. tickets at $10.

k, so saturday, after detention, went to find eunuch kai, passed him his BD2 HGUC and taught him some more gunpla building stuff. not bad, lots of progress there. BUT MY KIT T_T NO PROGRESS!!! either way, can kiss gb to the gundam 00 competition in late may i guess. wanted to do an enact but argh, $$$ and time. if i now do, got no $$$. if do later, got no time but got $$$. help? and can't really enter normal stuff, i see my fellow modellers, damn garang sia. "I'm going to scratchbuild the Stratospheric Orbital Sniper Rifle". OMFG!!! *pray*

THE BIG [censored] GUN

so if I really want to take part, its now or never. *eyeing at my flag to butcher* hmm, anyone willing to lend $20? lol, need to get a new flag.

want to turn the blue one on the left into the green-blue one on the right

woo. okay, so yeah..... O_o why do i always do insane stuff with my gunpla?

back to everyday life. O_o big eye opener to see another couple lol, why do social news always reach me last? and hmm, I must make a mental note to get back my gunpla from those people i lent. like my gundam mkII in sty workshop and SD warriors at "my friend".

Physics SPA skill A coming right up! now's the time to cheong, esp when i dun have much confidence in it. oh, and must remember to clear all my math hmwk...

2008-04-06T01:07:00.000+08:00

YES!

today's gunpla hunt was pretty great, been quite long since I went like "wooh" over gundamy stuff. of course, have to thank KL for cancelling the planned hmwk outing at the last minute, else I won't be able to go gunpla-hunting >_< good lah, safety 1st, gunpla 2nd

and tadah! got this:

Astray Green Frame

I tell u, sooner or later we can form a *Super Sentai Astra-rangers!* team. Bandai already has the Red frame, Blue frame and Gold frame. all they need now is a pink frame or black frame or something.

anyway, like a astray that's its supposed to be, it comes with its own unique weapon (in pic). Red was a katana, Blue was a bazooka, Gold was... wait, there's no gold frame for the 1/144 HG. Its unique weapon is a beam rifle that has 2 beam bayonettes and a bladed behind in case people decide to sneak up from behind. HUAPOW! oh, and the story behind this is very very lame. so in the 1st episode, ZAFT attacked helopolis and store the original 5 GUNDAMs. story of RBG frames is that ZAFT didn't know about these 3, lying in a factory NEXT TO the original 5. okay.... Green frame's story? its sleeping NEXT TO the factory with RBG frames inside, which is NEXT TO the original 5 GUNDAMS. and ZAFT didn't know about it. lame....

its still not avaliable in S'pore yet (its 1 week early). got in from a hobby shop in orchard road for $21. not bad for a 1200 yen kit.

oh, speaking of which, the shopkeepers very very cock. quite enough to ruin my mood.

staff: okay, let me check up the yen price *clicks on comp*
me: uh, the yen price is here *rotate box and points at yen price*
staff: that's the serial number
me: no, the serial number's over here *rotates box to the other side and point*
staff: no, thats something else. anyway, that's not the yen price.... *checks comp* the yen price is 1200
me: (thinking in my head) yeah, like I told u?
me: okay, mind if I check the parts?
staff: ......
me: *take my own sweet time to open box and check. 1st time i actually really go thru the parts 1 by 1, refering to instruction sheet. took bloody long to piss off that guy. lol, i'm so cruel*
me: k, good.

so never delay me from getting my gunpla. will get irritated lol. bleedy staff took bleedy ages to check something which is already printed on the box, and acts all "I'm correct" with attitude tone. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT, ESPECIALLY IF HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT GUNDAM THAN YOU WILL EVER DO! seesh, I'm not a gundam psycho for nothing. ^ ^

oh, spotted this fella in the shop too. $98. hmm, taka selling it for $120. oh well, I think I can tahan another trip to that shop >_<

Gundam Exia (Trans-Am) + GN Arms

oh, and taka had some gundam sales. really considering the Black Tri Stars set at $35, but a quick check of my bank account says *no more gunpla for this month*. left with $100 for the rest of the month, argh. here's hoping that there's nothing I have to pay for, cuz I'm already in the "eating grass" danger zone >_<

"Black Tri Stars" triple Dom set. JETSTREAM ATTACK!!!

On second thoughts, tomorrow will go down to grab this kit. its way too cheap. Bandai, my wallet is yours T_T TAKE MY $35, TAKE IT NOW, TAKE IT NOW!!!

2008-04-02T21:47:00.001+08:00

BLEARGH.... *cough cough*

today work up with a coughing fit. and its dry cough, so its pretty itchy down the throat. anyway, its so loud I woke my mum up, and she pretty much forced me to go see a doctor. so okay, put down bag, changed back to normal clothes, and hit the sack for the time being. oh, and also took panadol to curb the slight fever

k, so up and awake (again) at around 9.30. feeling a little bad about pon-ing school but nvm. slowly make my way down to the polyclinic, registered at 10.30. lol, really slowly. decided to walk there actually, cutting thru yishun park. its good lah, get a bit of fresh air and etc.

and once at the polyclinic, wait. wait. wait. more waiting. wait. wait. wait. wait.

wait.

wait

W
A
I
T

and my cough began to slowly dissappear by itself. check the time, wooh 12 noon. and its still bleedy 22xx on the counter. my # is 2357. wah.

wait wait wait

one nurse come out of the room with a pile of files, diverting patients to other doctors who are currently free. about time.

finally! time for the doctor.... eh, my cough is totally gone like 30min ago. lol, polyclinics, get healed while waiting.

yippie, so now time to collect medication. aka more waiting.

time in: 10.30
time out: 1.30

total time wasted in polyclinic: 3 whole hours.

ah, so rush back home, trying to clear overdue homework. clear halfway, no mood, so go over to the "unbuilt" pile of gunpla. but cannot carry on like that, must endure. so I took up toh xin's freedom, open box glance thru, get disgusted, close box put back. lol. sorry, but your kit is a major turndown. its like placing an ugly ghey with a budget gender-change operation at geylang. see beh disgusting.

so ended up zZz-ing away most of the afternoon. could've played the PS2, but other than a useless TV, there's also the "do not operate machinery when under effect of medication" warning, so yeah, no PS2 or messing with gunpla. both are considered machinery rofl.

ah lousy lousy day. but at least confirmed some business with Derek. woo, $95 for the Neue Ziel and Dendy set.

btw, doctor prescribed just a simple cough mixture, lots of water, and lots of rest & sleep. I'm like "huh, how?" at the last prescription.

btw, have fun

2008-03-31T21:52:00.000+08:00

lol, gunpla filled day

so yippie, finally start of a new month. = pocket money!!! missed the days when i was working >_< could just buy gunpla like nothing, everyday drag home a few boxes *by few, i dun mean 3 or 4. try 6 to 8, more accurate. assuming they're not those more ex ones*

nowadays, argh. need to take note where the $ go, else eat grass. lol, actually i dun really mind, hmm....jjk. eat plastic?

anyway, toh xin passed me his NG 1/144 freedom today. and wooh, i seriously underestimated it. open box, died on the spot.

seamlines down the whole arm, leg, torso and head. V fin one solid piece. head one solid piece, this one really test masking skills. male and female pegs are different from normal kits, so the "short-cut" method cannot be used effectively. and its "short-cut" as in cut something short, not "shortcut".

wooh, one look quickly close box. this kit is wah, i dare say its impossible. but we'll see how. plans for this kit:

-> panel line cutting (lol, haven't done this since my turbokat) to resemble MG.
-> plaplate details (freedom's design doesn't really allow this to be done much, so hmm)
-> erase wing design, lengthening of wings, re-etching designs to resemble MG
-> colour (duh) experiment with the following:

white (preshade magohany)
cobalt blue (postshade sky blue)
semi-gloss black (preshade purple)
italian red (shade red)
silver joints? or gunmetal? how bout steel? hmm, decisions decisions
purple foil sticker for sensors

hmm, at least i can agar agar picture the finished product in my head. oh well, back to studies 1st. this can wait until saturday.

and once that's completed, will try diorama building.

2008-03-29T18:59:00.003+08:00

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article3628860.ece

THE FUCK!? GUYS CAN GIVE BIRTH!? totally new concept sia

2008-03-29T17:46:00.001+08:00

hmm.....lots of thoughts....

okay, so this week.... nothing much to talk about bah. geog exam is basically screwed as we went thru the papers, cuz i totally clean forgot about a lot of major stuff which i SHOULD include. GG liao lor.

and wooo, CNA came and film us for the GiS thing. lol, machiam PW hardcore edition. yeah, according to the email, it will be used for some educational programme. @_@ if its about gundam i dun mind, but wtf... oh, and the email the teachers received it 2 days before the filming. wow. so end up just "fake" our project lol, take out one map anyhow doodle on it then talk crap. well, at least the cameraman very very patient and friendly.

then nothing much, just hmwk hmwk hmwk. esp. thrusday, wooh....

and i seem to be losing my gundamyness. one of the very very rare times when i have 1 hr to do nothing, so i open a box of gunpla, take out manual, flip flip, put back, close box, go online LMS and read stuff. k lah, the stuff pretty useful. those reading my blog, ur better open another window and go LMS read read as well.

hmm, nothing else i can remember, except for my phone dying every 10secs. must get new batt liao. sigh.... oh, and went to lockie's house to play with his wii wii after geog paper. damn funny, go shoot away the arms and head of the enemy MS, then chase them with beam sabers. lol. or u go corner a gundam, shoot away its hands, so it can only scratch u with the vulcans. then u take a beam saber, whack it but dun kill it. repeat until it die. bwahahaha, revenge....

oh, and we have a new classmate! no, not some mystrious transfer student who came from some ulu ulu school and has a funny dark aura and every night u cannot call him for some reason that kind (read too much manga liao lol).

and he's a gundam fan as well ^ ^ good, more people to poison bwahaha. its good lah, so i can use other pple's kits to practice lol. btw he knows about sunshine plaza and some modelling stuff like airbrush, so yeah. we click pretty well.

other than that, there's a gundam 00 gunpla competition coming up. woooo. got 3 ideas liao. 1 is to make "Gundam Deathsnipe" by bashing deathscythe with gundam dynames. 2nd idea is to make "gunpla advertistment", by just painting the runner and display it with a finished version. like those adv. 3rd idea is "enact", by modding a flag into an enact.

then again, i have no time. argh! see beh sian.... say 'f' to s'pore's education system.

2008-03-23T14:41:00.000+08:00

WAHAHAHA

woops, turns out the meet was on Saturday, not on Sunday. heng heng me and lockie knew it early *Friday night lol*, so we still had time to cheong our kits. and yes, the meet starts at 2, we have to leave at 1pm. when we started it was 11pm. so yes, 14hr to cheong out a kit.

for me it was not much problem, just had to repaint some parts into a certain colour *you'll know why later*, and do some decaling.

for Lockie, his kit is still in a sealed box O_o

so yeah, off to work. while Lockie is still preparing the parts, I've already finished most of the painting. all that's left is to do decaling when Lockie moves on to spraying.

and yes, waiting is tough. especially at 4am. played with his Wii Wii and NDS while he's still preparing the parts. nice job man, choosing a MG ver2 char zaku to cheong. tons of parts and funny funny stuff.

then afterwards, had a lot of difficulty decaling the kit. not that i have actual problems with the decals, but more of I've never decaled before, so I dunno which decals should go where. like all the caution/warning/danger decals.

and poor lockie, 5 attacks by the floor monster just that night. lucky no parts were eaten.

so yeah, really made it on time. as in, 12.50pm Lockie was still fixing his kit.

and woo, off to sty's workshop!

This is my kit

and this are the other kits present

meet lots of modellers. by lots, i mean really lots. all katoots members, and most of whom I have never met before IRL.

oh, and their skills, wooo. nice nice. just need a few more kits before I can reach that level lol.

and Tritone shared some good points about decals and where to place them. lol, i tot is just stick them wherever you like, and not so "stragedy" one. oh, and of course, lots of "lectures" and exchanges between modellers, like experiences with fuck-ups, seamlines, cement problems, and general Bandai cursing.

fun meet, would be better if I actually slept lol. was like -_- the whole time. lol, and 1st time Reeve actually praised my kit. "your shading skills improve a lot. and I like your purple-black shading." of course, constructive critisms are allowed. "your white need to mist-spray more, cuz now look more blue than white, and your brown-black shading, less black would be good" *I noticed both lol, too lazy to care actually*

2008-03-20T23:06:00.000+08:00

Zhen Yu: lol maths fail liao lah, got 5 question leave blank... confirm get last in class...
ME: oh yeah? I only study complex number, vectors i got study but just now forget all, cant even change form. DE and int i since start already dunno how to do. end up whole paper only attempted 3 out of 12, then the rest just put number and "z = ..... as given in question"

Zhen Yu: wah, congrats.

okay, so the tests are finally over! except geog, bleh. physics and gp is O_o so as to say, nahbeh 1st time didn't manage to complete essay, omfg.... and i was having fun writing it summore.

today, after maths paper, jalan jalan with classmates, THEN CHEONG BACK HOME!!! set up spray booth, ITS TIME TO SPRAY!!!

open my gundam mkII box, found a nest of beetles (uh, beetle-ings? they're really really tiny, like 1mm long) inside. normally is "squish squish, where's the bygone?", but hey, beetles. my fav insects. so gently scooped them out and set them free at the nearest tree.

okay, back to sparying. continued with my long-time nvr touch gundam mkII project, and wah.... okay, still got all my skills, but need to warm up a bit >_<

and spray and spray and spray.... WAH 8PM LIAO ARGH!!!

now, this is wad i call time well spent ^ ^

pics not yet released, cuz i need this gundam mkII to be highly confidential until sunday. need it for the katoots meet.

2008-03-15T20:34:00.001+08:00

ARGH!!!!

this whole week is cursed. CURSED I SAY, CURSED!!!

rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain

like nobody's business. borrowed air compressor from Lockie, end up cannot use cuz raining. if i spray, the risk of frosting is super high. and bleedy rain is going to continue for another week at least. so confirm cannot make it for katoots meet, unless I take the risk. decisions decisions....

then everyday go school, wah, reach home KO-ed. Wednesday developed a fever that dissappeared as quickly as it came. TV fucked up, cannot play PS2. good in a way, but FUCK NO, LIKE THAT HOW I REVISE MY PHYSICS!? WARGH!!!

anyway, it did free up some time for other stuff. like revision. maths, stare at it for so long, still blur blur. die liao lah. oh well, did get around tidying up my room, some filing, and made an airbrush holder from an old hanger.

and went to build the HGUC GP02A to vent my frustration. ended up causing more frustration. Bandai's new technology and cock ideas made the joints super tight, which is good cuz its a very heavy kit. BUT the knee, omfg. super tight + a new experimental joint style where its basically like this:

l=l

so yeah, heng heng the right leg managed to be alright, but dun dare touch. left knee, wooo. plastic piece twisted and snapped off, became stuck in teh knee. see beh f-ed up. try a lot of method to fix it, cannot work. ended up halving the knee, make the solid piece hollow, put a polycap, cement it shut, made a new plastic joint, putty to the leg, kiap everything together, dump one side leave overnight dun touch. then tested a bit and volia, fixed. new leg is now more loose, so i can use one leg for balancing and another for kicking. not bad not bad. no external damage or etc to suggest that it's broken before.

and bad news always come in pairs. the left hand broke. without me doing anything. the shield its holding is way too heavy, + the added weight of the stored bazooka. the hand is 2 piece connected by a peg like this:

-

actual size. not kidding.

the hand couldn't tahan the weight, so after 5 hours just snapped. at this point in time, its 2am, so can't be bothered liao. just cement up the whole hand, and multilate the shield handle so i can just slot it into the hand.

grrrr, this week, bad for gunpla. bad for me.

anyway, its like wad the online tarot card reading say lah. this week, career is bleh, which explains all the gunpla mishaps *nahbeh, stabbed myself with hobby knife twice*

but relationships seem to b better. go band everyone like very friendly, go gunpla hunting with gunpla buddies end up happy happy around sunshine plaza and plaza s'pura. threw a huge folder of manga at a teacher, i let ur guess who ^ ^ so yeah... not a 100% cock up week.

anyway, I seem to be developing a minor attraction towards a sec sch friend. nvr blushed before when she smile at me. hmm, must be thinking too much. Vicky Vick ah, u still super cock up about ur mindset and wadever shit, so nono to BGR for now. at most can have the other BGR (Boy-Gunpla-Relationship). this yr Air lvl + next 2 yr NS + u are so totally not psychologically ready for a zar bor yet cuz u not mature enuff. so yesh, go back to your gunpla-la-land and run crying to ur plastic friends.

lol. and getting into a relationship = cashflow, time and attention divert = less gunpla = less gundamy Vick = less Vick. so yeah, getting into a relationship is suicidal, lol.

2008-03-08T21:43:00.000+08:00

WAHAHAHAHA!!!

Friday

pretty average day IMHO. k, so just got back chinese Air lvl results.... I have to say, Giant God Ideon sure grants prayers accurately. was praying to Ideon for a pass, and i received a pass. nothing more nothing less. heck, it might be exactly at the border for all i know.

so ya, one part was like "why not a D!?" while the other was "woopie, i passed! lets grab a brand new gunpla today"

hmm, band was pretty great, but >_< I FORGOT ALL THE PARTS, ARGH!!! come in wrong part, play wrong stuff, aiyoh. die liao die liao.

and i keep getting a pretty bad vibe from some teachers, hmm.....

Today

woo, was supposed to go on a secret mission to NAFA to support Lockie, but early in the morning at 5.30am, i was like "fuck it, wanna zZz" and so yeah....

k, so super change of plans. ended up prawn fishing at the khatib thing. nothing much ah, just that the prawns are.... are they supposed to look like that? with those super long pincers?

lol, and the guy next to me caught a fish. yes, a fish from the prawn pool. rofl.

so nothing much, just that well, its like a bit cruel leh. not about the killing the prawn part, but about the taking back the hook from its mouth part. its like, wahlau, i bite ur lure, end up going to be dinner, then u still take away the bait from my mouth, wtf prawn! lol, so yeah..... at least give those prawn the bait.

later, dinner at the restaurant. and look who's serving..... 八月十日, August Ten. LOL, the irony. oh btw, Augustine is like the super guai-lan boss from my carlton days, no in fact only the 1st 3 weeks of my carlton days. damn guai-lan and kpkb kind, those unreasonable slacker kind. so decide to tekan him a bit. heng he dun recognise me lol

"oi, how come the dish come before the rice!? u go and take the rice NOW. N-O-W."

"oi, how come the rice come before the drink? where's the drink!?"

"oi, ur fish too bony ah. I dun like. i want to order one more dish, one chicken."

LOL. come on, Ideon has given u the perfect chance to take ur revenge, must enjoy lol. okay, i not that evil lah, just tekan him a bit for "personal enjoyment"

"oi, come come. how come ur green chilli no soy sauce one?"

woot.

anyway, Lockie's NAFA exam is pretty much gone case. hopeless. ho seh liao. is like, u draw stickman, u turn around see pple drawings, one anime style, one mona lisa, one pablo picasso. die liao lar. >_< right now thinking about how to help him, if his case is even helpable.

oh anyway, forgot about the pics of the Hyakushiki i gave Kiat Lee. Credits go to Reeve, for taking the photos.

and being not so cruel about the comments. just a "aye Vick, it sucks." Thanks man. T_T oh well, better than the Johnny and Gabrel tag-team.

2008-03-05T20:21:00.000+08:00

woo, haven't been around for quite some time, so let's backtrack a little....

saturday

wah, whole day outing! was supposed to meet lockie at amk hut around 11am. turns out he's having a flight delay from the land of zZz, so off to his house for a rude awakening!

actually wanted to get work on my Gundam mkII model. the 22nd march meet isn't too far away actually >_< ended up just slacking away the time, playing my PS2 and watching animu. oh, 2.30 pm comes quickly.....

tapao my PS2 to bring back, its about time bwahahaha. then off to DBG for lockie to meet the Virtual-On cosplay team O_o no, i'm not taking part, just tagging along. with 2 other innocent people, elvent (or elf) and kai jian (or kai gong gong / eunuch kai) just talk-cock-sing-song all the way mostly..... wasted the whole day, which can be put to better use, like spraying my gundam mkII model >_<

oh well.... btw, watched the virtual-on guys play virtual-on, WOOH!!! all the hidden moves and funny funny stuff, + full hp complete game and etc, nahbeh..... one day must learn!

and also, grabbed a Flag on the way back.

Sunday

dragged Eunuch Kai down to the workshop, by right sty, the owner, is having some "free basic course, 3hr rush job", but turns out he sent me a PM on the forum asking me to not bring down eunuch kai, cuz the response was too overwhelming. WOOPS, didn't notice the PM. Sorry Sty!

uh, so what's done cannot be undone, ended up me, this budding noob Scale Modeller, had to teach eunuch kai on how to fix his gunpla is a "professional" manner. lol, and i had to do some impt stuff, like cut out the face from the head so can modify it for easier painting and etc. oh well, not too bad.....

but it does bring up one super impt qn: its super unfair for Sty's other $ paying students, and eunuch kai is definitely going to continue doing gunpla there, so not i dunno lah..... must ask sty see wad he want.... hmm, problems problems....

and nahbeh, cannot spray again >_< and fuck the weather, every sunday rain, nahbeh, cannot spray else will tio frosting, which sucks and is pretty much uncurable. like skin cancer for gunpla. ergh....

Monday

nothing much, just clearing hmwk and trying to stay alive. oh, also lol phy test. anyway good news from mdm selvi, saying my geog essay damn bleedy great. bwahahaha! score 1 for vick

Tuesday

moving along..... also explosive vomiting.

Today

got back lol phy test. top class, tie with zhenyu. wah, competition sia >_< i'm losing my phy throne, grades r slipping.... bad bad bad..... hey, at least now i just knocked zy off his geog throne, so i guess that's fair?

J1 in band! nice nice, big intake sia. and welcoming celebration today is very beneficial for me, cuz i tapao 2 empty pizza boxes! now, got spray booth, dun need to buy ^ ^

poor modeller is poor.

oh, went to dig around for some sec 4 books on maths, ended up i found this guy

Victory Gundam

hey, didn't know I had this guy, this is like wad, my 3rd gunpla in my life? at that time, im still a super gundam noob, so i couldn't identify him. probably lost it during the SEED INVASION, which resulted in my huge collection of plastic friends. oh well, its good to have him around. and back to digging for sec 4 stuff....

TADAH:

V2 Gundam

the "big brother" unit to Victory Gundam. basically a much improved version, with new technologies and blah blah, k enuff chim chim gundam stuff. anyway, this one did take a lot of beating, can see all the broken parts and stuff. sad. oh well, better start digging for my sec 4 stuff

dig dig dig..... dig dug......

TADAH

found my collection of tomica cars, but what's most important, THE WHOLE BOX OF GUNPLA SPARE PARTS, INCLUDING THE FULL RANGE OF SPARE PARTS FOR V2 GUNDAM!!!

THANK IDEON!!! wow, just wow.... so i did plan to repair that sucker in the distant past, and basically bought a second hand imcomplete V2 from somewhere to try to repair it. its, just wow.... i have replacement for each and every single part, from V-fin to arms, legs, wings, skirt armour.....

k so after some repairs and part swaps, V2 Gundam is back to its original state. and gave Victory Gundam a swap in its polycaps (the joints basically) so it is more tight. wow.....

okay, so there's 2 new plastic friends to add into the number..... speaking of which, i lost count.... need to do a "stock check" soon, maybe during the march holidays!

2008-02-24T19:10:00.001+08:00

WAH!!! $$$ CRISIS!!!

okay..... summary: mother owe me $150, kl owe me $15, I owe Lockie $25, owe chua $30...

>_< sry kl, but i no $$$, so cannot do the casing.... anyway, no casing, i can already guess what will happen....

"aye, ur present, i accidentally make spoil. can help fix?"

"can. which part spoil?"

"uh, a bit difficult to explain ah. i think u come and see better lah..."

lol. standard reply after 10 min of receiving modelkits as presents.

EDIT: managed to find a pic of captain nagase..... lol, need to cut down on gaming

looks very very familiar eh?

2008-02-24T01:04:00.003+08:00

WAH, THE SINGAPORE AIRSHOW DAMN SHIOK, GOT SEE THE PLANE FLY SO NICE, SO EXCITING !!!!1!!one!

is what I would like to say.... alas, didn't make it.....

woke up late. rushed, followed instructions from a friend to np. ALAMAK, WHY ARRIVE AT TP!? gostan, cheong to np, ONLY TO SEE A BUS WITH YJC PPLE LEAVING!!! nahbeh. ah well, might as well make the most out of it. gave Lockie a call, went over to his place to fly my very own s'pore airshow on my PS2 ^_^

borrowed his compressor, and he lent me his "secret formula" to kim kim paint: gaia colour STARBRIGHT GOLD. woooooo, listen to the name u already have funny ideas in your head.

ah, rushed home with the stupid compressor and barang barang. looked thru my "emergency gunpla" *yes, I have emergency gunpla, in case i suddenly want to build smthg or celebrate some event but nvr buy new gunpla*

and I found this guy: Hyaku Shiki (or Hyakushiki, depends on which spelling u prefer)

fits the emergency (kl's b-day) perfectly. kim kim one, akatsuki is a copy or this, and I dun really need him cuz I already own another him (and a more kim version summore).

swee lah, open box, alamak, why bazooka and beam sabers gone? looked at my mee rebus (or me-toot-toot. cute little fella, that Methuss) and Dijeh, and realized I gave it to them a long time ago. okay, so at least the whole MS is still intact, with a beam rifle, so its not too bad......

yeah, not that bad.....

so open box, get down to business. woops, a bit short on time, cuz now 5pm liao. quickly sharpened the antenna, then fix some problem areas. dun even bother to clear seamlines, much less moldlines and un-aligned parts. of course, have to clear flash. its a pretty old kit, 2004, so the engineering not that great.

k, all prep for painting finished, time to paint! started with silver on the frame parts, then use heavily diluted gunmetal to mist-spary. didn't want to go with pure gunmetal as the contrast will be super huge, and look very very weird. effect came out better than I expected, but think could have used a bit more gunmetal. oh well, next colour *wash airbrush.....*

GOLD! and not just any gold, but STARBRIGHT GOLD! wooooooooo

didn't really understand wad lockie said about "must thin like fuck then can use!", so went ahead with normal procedures. 1:3 paint to thinner ratio. and WAH LAN EH, FUCKING AIRBRUSH COUGH ON MY PARTS, RUIN THE PERFECT PAINT JOB!!! ARGH SPLATTER!!! jia lat, quickly try Lockie's suggestion. final ratio when the paint is "perfect" is 1:11 paint to thinner. omfg O_o. tried to repair the splattered parts, but some still a bit obvious to the trained eye. ayah, no time liao, just fuck care.

blue and red. hmm, since my gold and gunmetal is just one tone, might as well practice my 1337 shading skillz bwahahaz and also provide some contrast to the kit, else it will look boring. effect of blue is not that obvious cuz of the colour itself, but the red WOO HOO HOO, ima 1337 modeller bwahahaz!!! so much better than I expected.

then finished up with the wiring and etc. TIME FOR 3D JIGSAW! of course, while refering to the instruction manual. realized that alamak, forgot to paint the beam rifle piping. ah nvm, look better with 1 colour anyway, suddenly pop out one yellow a bit weird and draws attention. stickers for the head is >_<, but the "hundred" emblem on the shoulder is easy, thank's to bandai's dry-transfer decals (thank you bandai!). tested out the green foil stickers for the main and rear sensors. had a very difficult time with it, and ended up giving it a lot of scratches. continued to scratch the foil stickers so it looks like it has round cameras and stuff beneath, wooo.

hmm, didn't turn out so bad. seamlines not very obvious, except at the foot. contrast of gold and blue/red is very very good, especially with the shading. must keep this in mind, lol. kept the thrusters silver, and changed the antenna colour from gold to black to give more colour to the face. now the back view is very colourful, which is a bit different from how i usually see this guy ^ ^ overall, I was aiming for the anime feel, and the colours came out pretty nicely, minus the huge blister at the wing binder cause the airbrush coughed on it >_<

k, all that's left is to build a clear box and the diorama (just a computer print-out. again, no time). >_< sry kl, but seriously no time lah......

EDIT: I just realized this is the very 1st kit which I've completed in a "profesional" style, aka not just open box, follow instruction sheet, fix and done. this one got paint ah, edit a bit ah (oi, sharpen the bleedy antenna got count okay!) this and that ah, lalala.

no wonder its not standing at my desk looking at me in a "hi dad" kinda way. and the plastic friend behind it doesn't look that pleased. lol

2008-02-21T22:29:00.002+08:00

hmm..... full of thoughts......

woo, NSM/NMS (wad's the correct acronym anyway?) visit! Remember to fill in the reflection and survey before March! not less that 500 words! WOO!!! (faking happiness)

saw a lot of gundam. Minerva, Palace Athene, Gaia, O_o also, [censored]. u know, ancient pple lah, all nudists.

Then after that, SUNSHINE PLAZA!!! cheong gunpla..... no cash.... argh..... anyway, managed to drag home 2 kits, so not that bad. a *!!!GrAhAm SpEcIaL!!!* and Gundam Deathsnipe. lol

*!!!GrAhAm SpEcIaL!!!* Flag

Gundam Deathsnipe, lol. jjk, its Gundam Dynamis, the green sniper one.

Then after that, sent zy, kl, pwr and chua to heaven with roti john. oh, and melon soda at Dasio. total bill for one makan? $5. and it is capable of sending u to heaven. dun believe, ask kl and zy. immediately hooked on melon soda lol.

the next day, went back to DBG area again, cuz of the GIS training. yeah, learn how to use satellite maps to bomb singapore and mark out the radius.... if scarly kena m'sia then later they complain, dun sell us water. jjk, but more or less like that lor, use satellite maps to carry out "surveys" and find the area most _____ to _____. After that went to HAG, check the sales of gunpla. argh, need $$$ need $$$.....

then its back to cheonging hmwk, one after another. and the surprise appearance of Captain Nagase from Ace Combat 5! wooh, exact same hairstyle and back. Brrrr, too much time on PS2 I guess. oh well, phy SPA tml, all the best for it, may I be blessed with the power of Ide. and rem to stay off the PS2

anyway, about the class problem, eh..... I guess I just leave it as it is bah. wed did try to get the 3 of then to gel with the class, but meh.... all sorts of funny excuses that ultimately point down to the same reason: people dun like each other's attitude, cannot click together. bleh..... shld b more sporting mah, even I dun really gel with with everyone, but at least try to like socialize a bit mah.... >_< root of the problem is both *lack of communication* and/which leads to *dun feel like communicating, but I accept bribes...*

ah, just leave it as it is bah. if touch anymore, might turn ugly. worse still, I tio banned from server. already spent whole of pri sch life like that, dun feel like doing the same >_< since now is a 0083 EFSF situation with the 13th autonomous crops running around doing their own business, and not really the EFSF-Titans situation.

ah, and dun get me wrong. the very 1st reason why I use gundam analogies is cuz the concept of gundam as a anime is this: open to personal intepretation. its just simply "here's my views on this, any thoughts or comments tell me, maybe we discuss a bit". nothing offensive intended.

and anything plz tag T_T my tagbox is hungry cuz no one feed it....

EDIT: been reading around the blogs....

@ Le Lin: 1stly Spongy roses. nope, not refering to Ms Koh's one, another classmate was busy distributing it as well. anyway, about the friendship day thing, I'm very blame-able cuz well, I didn't do anything, to be honest. for personal reasons which I'm uncomfortable to say, mainly due to sec sch bad experiences.

moving on, birthdays. yes, I do remember how we all celebrated birthdays as a whole class, but towards the end of the year, the trend is disappearing, where celebrations do not involve the whole class anymore, and its not so much about the exams. case in point, liz's. Aznor's celebration is great, exactly what I had in mind. I wanted to bring attention to it, because I wasn't expecting it to happen to anyone else actually. example: kl, zy to name a couple. of course, you can follow up with another celebration outside school among yourselves, but at least include the whole class for a mini-celebration 1st. I'm glad that this has been addressed to a point beyond my expectation, as in the case of QQ's. made me guilty that I could not offer much help >_<

would be good if the trend is continued. Dinie and Ms Koh have been working very very hard to bond us, as can be seen in the CVD day thing. but perhaps more could be done? eg. class photos and etc? like say the CVD day, just take a quick glance thru the photos, compare to the class list. of course, some of us are pretty uncooperative, but I'm trying my best to get them to take part already. I just need a bit of assistance from everyone else, and for us to be more open-minded at times. you know, people always go by 1st impression, and is hard to forgive and forget certain stuffs, disliking not-existent points about others, stuff like that.

and about reciprocation, could you explain that point a little? sorry about that, didn't really catch.

@Captain Nagase. uh Jeannie. "discrimination" was a bad choice of vocabulary on my part, but it kinda fits the seriousness of the issue at hand. anyway, this month alone with have 3 birthdays. aznor, QQ, kl. because aznor's is the 1st, its a good opportunity to voice out my views. of course, its very impatient of me to make a conclusion there and then, but see the effect? you gals quickly addressed this issue and provided me with your points of view. sorry for this pretty underhanded tactic, but i need to get the whole picture to make informed decisions.

as for these "class programmes", maybe involve the whole class? like use the CT periods to plan for it, like how we did last year. it can help improve relations. like perhaps when planning, just randomly call out someone and ask for his/her suggestion, to get those "sidelined" classmates more involved.

and the final issue, well yes it takes 2 hands to clap. I've tried to get the few of us to take part more in these things, but well, seems like they don't really have a good impression on certain people. It's very very difficult to coax them to say, join your for informal stuff like jalan jalan after the NSM/NMS visit, or returning home at the mrt. ur probably knew they disappeared very quickly in the other direction.

I'm trying pretty hard, encouraging them to just even tag along, but its hard as it is. It's no one's fault, due to the many factors involved. like lack of time together as a class, lack of communication, different viewpoints, etc etc. no use jabbing fingers at anyone or anything.

anyway, regarding this class issue, there's not much to do about it I guess. pretty pessimistic about this, seeing their reactions to certain suggestions offered. I would like to hear more of your comments and views though. thank you for your time. really appreciate it.

EDIT EDIT: how come my name is in all caps? lol

2008-02-17T22:22:00.000+08:00

I applaud the random annonymous spineless neanderthal invertebrate for totally changing my ideas and the meanings expressed in my previous post into something totally negative and full of hatred in just 31 words on Dinie's tagbox. congrats, just a bit more training and you could become a politician.

anyway, the weekends were pretty >_< sat supposed to go out studying with kl and zy, but..... BOTH OF THEM CANNOT MAKE IT!!! ARGH!!! end up become jalan jalan with Lockie around AMK hut and Tampines. grabbed a HGUC GP02A from the hobby point there before going to yishun library to finish up the phy hmwk. then headed home.

HGUC GP02A. has an atomic warhead. yes, ZhenYu you have good taste, as good as mine lol.

haven't built him yet, but completed Hyaku Shiki's step-step gun. its AWESOME! so awesome I.... I think I'm in lurve with it.... the most fuck-win BFG in Zeta Gundam.

then did a bit of filing on Sunday morning, before diving into Mr hkaile's GP project. bleh, huge waste of time due to irrelevant google links. found out Mr hkaile's magic trick and its suddenly so much easier. that's y we must support Yahoo! lol.

now still cheonging the project. and bleh, kl cant return enuff $$$ in time. argh, my gunpla..... so near yet so far.... die die must grab at least the graham flag, else can go die!

2008-02-16T18:40:00.000+08:00

sigh, its pretty sad. seeing the class, well... how do I put it, its like there's this HUGE DIVIDE, kinda like EFSF and Titans. both are essentially the same force, on the same side, but well they operate independently, and heck, the only thing they share is the stupid Jaburo base. Their MS are different, their paint schemes are different, basically everything is different.

218 is no different. just very recently, I saw the class doing things for 2 pretty major events: a classmate's birthday and V-day. how do I put it, for V-day its more or less just one group doing things for others in their group. homemade cards and all. I dunno about that one classmate from the other group who is giving out sponge roses to the class. maybe she only gave it to one group, maybe she gave it to the whole class, that I dunno. but either way, the divide is very obvious.

next up, a certain classmate's birthday. Of course, he's a great guy and all, and a good friend to not only me, but also others in the school. however, to have the class celebrate his special day, and not those of other classmates, its a bit... biased? I mean, we are all the same class, why discriminate against "classmates only" and "jalan-jalan after sch classmates" if you are doing such things as a class? in fact, its shocking to think that the organisers actually want the whole class to do something, when not everyone in the class gets the same treatment due to the group system. its exactly a copy of Zeta Gundam, where the Titans borrow the entire EFSF fleet and MS for their own purposes, then leave the EFSF to fend for itself against AEUG and KARABA.

ah well, not like complaining will change anything. just shut up-ed and wrote some
meaningful stuff wishing that classmate a happy birthday. I did voice it out once, but well there's no changes, so yeah....

its natural to have groups, and its also natural to not have extremely good relations and connections with everyone in the class. there's nothing wrong with that. but at the very least, do acknowledge that there's other classmates in the class as well. the whole EFF doesn't just consist of the Titans alone. there's still the EFSF. do things as a class, as a whole, don't leave out others. it's very sad to see 218 become a EFSF + Titans thing. why can't we have a EFSF + Londo Bell situation, where even though there's a clear divide between the 2 groups, both groups are still very interconnected, going about ensuring peace in the Earth Sphere together? why can't we go about doing things together, celebrating everyone's classmate irregardless of "groups"? you can have another celebration after school within your groups, that's fine, but in school, please don't leave out those not in your clique.

well, at the very least, it hasn't deteoriated to the EFSF + League Militaire situation....

2008-02-11T18:19:00.000+08:00

wooh, I'm seeing gundam and SRW mechs in my maths....

dun believe? see for yourself:

Re(z) = ReGZ

Argaund = R-gun

ZZ (that double Z thing with the plus on top) = ZZ Gundam

or Z Gundam

∀ = Turn A Gundam

O_o learning maths just gotten a little bit weird....

2008-02-03T00:57:00.000+08:00

been busy lately...

woo, CVD! or as I like to call it, syphillis day! dun mind my annoying habit selective hearing, makes this world a better place ^ ^

preparations were the toughest part I guess, with Hafiz, Ravin and I arguing about how to hang a stupid oversized banana leaf. so many logical stuff and etc thrown in, but ended up we just taped the [censored] leaf and hung it up. ah well, anything that works....

CVD itself, woo hectic. almost reminds me of my work, except I wasn't scopping rice. hot hot hot hot hot. got so burnt, reach home cannot play PS2 properly, fingers no feeling >_< band performance was simply put, beyond expectations. amazingly loud dynamics and perfect everything, to put it simply. YJCB sure have grown throughout the months I'm in it, bwahahaha. *thicked face* anyway, we received the most help from Sherman tank for CVD, blatantly shameless free advertising for our stall. well, hope he gets thanked properly by that 1 girl in our class ^ ^ else end up like me during my sec sch days, a bit sad lar....

ah, and the rest of the week. tuesday stepped on that puffy in-grown mushroom thingy or whatever you call it, those synthetic anthills found on our school track. almost landed face-first, if I hadn't turned to the side. fell down hard on my left elbow and slided a small distance. hmm, shld have turned even more, then can drift for say.... 5cm?

Wednesday! yeah, best day of the week. straight away cheong for bugis after CCA, cuz THE HUNT IT ON!!! Many many many thanks to Lockie, for finding, reserving, thriple-checking its the correct target, and also Jacintha, for the "backup", just in case its sold out, then still got some hope ^ ^

so yeah, managed to get the Exia conversion kit. $24.80 is pretty cheap, was expecting upwards of $30. now I just need to grab the kit to convert. damn.... oh well, CNY coming up, the 20% storewide discount should help....

rest of the week was just hanging on to dear life. hmwk is like WOOH, but somehow managed to finish it. like Zhenyu said, "nb 1/2hr can finish chem and geog, u too f-ing pro liao". yeah, thanks... -_-

and a couple of unexpected surprises. like 30/50 for the GP block test essay. it was like the worst essay I think I've written actually, where I was like using old points and faking it as a new point to hit the 3-1 ratio. somehow it turned out very very good O_o dunno lah, paper 2 was a complete disaster, which is well, not what I had expected.... geog, somehow the half-assed proposal managed to score full marks O_o again, unexpected.

ah today, went to workshop to spray. learned how to do shading, and Im a pretty fast learner I think. 1st piece is totally F-ed, but by the 5th piece, the effect is exactly the same as Ming Fa's demo piece. not bad not bad. which reminds me, I need to grab my own airbrush. high priority!

ANGH!!! *bite bite*

pretty bite-y nowadays, due to lack of gunpla. rarely will i get this moody, except when i cant get the gunpla that i want.

correction: get 3+6 gunpla which i really really want, and another 4 more on the way which i seriously want. heck, its my fav gundam, dun get, siao argh?

so yeah, went to count how much it would cost me. $333 max, and that's w/o my modelling stuff.

and the school just took away my $34 T_T. +$10 for the airshow thing, but I'm not complaining about that one. its a steal, and i got free transport there summore. hope got $$$ to buy F-16 kits and the special black knights (which are actually red)decal sets.

today O lvl results out, woo lock, nice, you own3d urself. good luck getting into poly.

went to DBG to hunt for gunpla. wow, those HG00 kits selling at around $20 or much less, which is good. can reduce the overall price by a lot.

and found a super old 1981 Ideon kit. $28, hmm.... see how, really want to get. it's the divine being I'm praying to every now and then anyway, must respect. *pray*

very sad, need $$$$. as much as possible. and what's worse is classmates going "*insert suggestion*, and just buy it. very cheap, *insert cost*"

yeah, very very cheap, that's 2 HG00 exias right there, or i could get a HGUC Jagd Doga by adding a bit more $. its a bit sad, how sometimes people can be selfish insensitive bastards/bitches, just like me. at least try to keep others in mind mah, not everyone is as rich. saying some stuffs will totally change other's view of you.

anyway, here's a handy guide of how expensive is expensive.

$2 oxx[===> sanding block (x2)
$3 oxx[===> sandpaper set (tamiya high quality stuff)
$5 oxx[===> paint, 2 bottles
$10 oxx[===> plaplate, one large chunk. or rare gunpla, like 1990s
$20 oxx[===> normal HG gunpla
$30 oxx[===> more advanced HG gunpla
$40 oxx[===> most advanced HG gunpla, or MG gunpla at sale
$50 oxx[===> airbrush
$100 oxx[===> large MG gunpla, those you see on the top of departmental stores for years, or a HG psycho gundam (the gundam you see above)
$150 oxx[===> METEOR unit!
$300 oxx[===> PG gunpla
$480 oxx[===> Dendy! every gunpla otaku's dream is to own one. its like the ferrari of gunpla, its a milestone in your gundam-y life. in fact, w/o it, life is meaningless. so work towards it. owning a dendy will bring you bliss and pure gundam-y happiness for the rest of your life. or at least 5 years.

[I_am_Legend style][tears flowing] I made this plane with all my effort, and decided I'd show it to you. please say smthg. please say smthg. please say smthg....[/tears flowing][/I_am_Legend style]

ever felt like this? good, cuz right now its pretty much what I'm feeling. thrown an entire 3 months of effort, thinking, TLC, $$$, sweat and blood (yes, i accidentally broke my skin while filing that model), commitment (nvr touched another kit during that time).....

and the result? no one say anything about it. and nothing as in those kinda "no big deal" responses.

cruel cruel world, >_<. being an artist, it sucks when your best masterpiece isn't praised. and what's even worse, posted my plane on a swat kats forum, and some other bugger's gotten much more praise than mine.

actual plane

my plane

other specimens out there

well, they probably spent the same effort and etc, but why is their's getting so much praise whereas mine isn't?

2007-12-28T01:48:00.000+08:00

hmm, was messing around www.msn.com when i came to this article. thought it might be a pretty interesting read, so I'd just dump the whole thing here. any comments do throw into my tagbox, its there for a reason (and haven't been fed)

http://men.msn.com/articlebl.aspx?cp-documentid=5873934>1=10715

Like every husband who suddenly turns into an ex, Martin Paul, a pleasant, unassuming 51-year-old, knows exactly where he was when it happened. He was sitting on the back porch of his pricey hilltop house in the Boston suburbs one sunny Saturday morning, relaxing over coffee.

Paul is a professional collector, primarily of coins, but of other rare objects as well: Sonny Liston's ring belt; a submarine that appeared in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. It wasn't easy to build up his collecting business, but he had finally got it humming, and he was pulling down close to seven figures a year. Plus, the oldest of his three sons had suffered a frightening brain injury, but after two years of treatment, he had finally recovered enough to go to college. For the first time in a very long while, life was good.

And so, that Saturday, he wanted to tell his wife he was thinking about finally easing off a little. They'd started going on expensive vacations in Europe and Hawaii, and he figured she'd be pleased at the prospect of taking more trips together, or at least at the prospect of seeing him around the house a little more, and not buried in his basement office. He had met her in graduate school over a quarter century ago, and they'd had their ups and downs, but he was still crazy about her. And he thought that, with a little more time together, she'd be crazy about him again too.

But no. She scarcely listened to any talk of retirement, or of vacations, or of anything he had to say. She had plans of her own.

"I want a divorce," she said.

Paul was so stunned that he thought he must have misheard her. But her face told him otherwise. "She looked like the enemy," he says. He started to think about everything he'd built: the thriving business, the wonderful family, the nice life in the suburbs. And he thought of her, and how much he still loved her. And then, right in front of her, he started to cry.

That night, he found a bottle of whiskey, and he didn't stop drinking it until he nearly passed out.

Things turned sh---- very fast. His wife took out a temporary restraining order, accusing him of attempting to kidnap their youngest son. The claim was never proved in court. Then, with the aid of some high-priced lawyers, she extracted from him a whopping $50,000 a month — a full 75 percent of his monthly income. Barred from the house, he was not allowed regular access to the office he used to generate that income. (On the few times he was permitted inside, his wife did not let him use the bathroom. She insisted that he go outside in the woods.) "My lawyer kept telling her lawyers, 'You're killing the Golden Goose,'" recalls Paul. "But they didn't care."

Crushed by the payments, and unable to work, he soon faced such a severe cash-flow crisis that he had to declare bankruptcy. His wife still did not relent. She charged that Paul had been abusive toward one of their sons. Paul says the charge is absurd, but it did its work, limiting his visitation rights.

Paul was sleepless and nerve wracked; his spirits plunged. He still missed his old life with his family. He missed the sound of it — the bustle of all the activity, the life. "I can't stand the silence," he says. "I miss hearing my wife breathe as she lay in bed beside me." In his desperation, he twice overdosed on prescription medication, but managed to call 911 each time before the drugs took full effect, and medics rushed him to the hospital in time. "I don't want to die," he says wearily. "I want to live. But I can't live with this torture." He did manage to keep a few mementos of his former life. Pictures, mostly. But also the kids' baby shoes. "I was always the emotional one," he says. "But that's all I have — the shoes, a few pictures. That's all. I used to be jovial, happy. But not now. I'm a broken man."

Sudden Divorce Syndrome. You won't find it in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, that bible of psychiatric illnesses, but you will find it in life. In a 2004 poll by the AARP, one in four men who were divorces in the previous year said they "never saw it coming." (Only 14 percent of divorced women said they experienced the same unexpected broadside.) And few events in a man's life can be as devastating to his physical, mental, and financial health.
"I meet men all the time who are going through breakups, and it's very common for them to say it caught them by surprise," says Los Angeles-based sex therapist Lori Buckley, PsyD, host of "On the Minds of Men," a weekly relationship podcast on iTunes.

The warning signs are usually there, claims Buckley, but the male mind is simply not very adept at recognizing them. "When women make up their mind that the relationship is over, they stop talking about the relationship," she says. "Men interpret a woman"s lack of complaining as satisfaction. But more often, it's because she's simply given up."

To understand how common this scenario is, consider figures provided by John Guidubaldi, a former member of the U.S. Commission on Child and Family Welfare. Nationwide, Guidubaldi reports, wives are the ones to file for divorce 66 percent of the time, and, in some years, that figure has soared to nearly 75 percent. "It is easier to end a marriage than it is to fire an employee," says Guidubaldi. If she wants out, it's over. "You can get a dissolution of marriage on the basis of nothing."

Oftentimes, men have a divorce sprung on them in midlife, when their kids are more self-sufficient and they've finally started to think they were over the hump. Like Martin Paul, they could start to relax. But that's exactly the time of life when the instance of divorce begins to swell (another occurs shortly after marriage). Joe Cordell, of the law firm Cordell and Cordell, which specializes in representing men in domestic cases, attributes this to wives deciding as they approach age 40 that it's now or never for getting back into the marriage market. It's the same phenomenon as rich guys trading in their long-time partners for trophy wives. Only it's the women who are shedding men

It didn't used to be this way. While divorce has been legal for nearly two centuries, it was long a topic of such mortification that it was considered a last, desperate resort. The 1960s changed all that. The free-love decade both increased the inclination to divorce and dropped the social resistance to it. The rising financial independence of women began to free them from a need to stay in a stultifying or abusive marriage. As a result, divorce soared, doubling by most measures. But the stereotypical divorce story — man marries, starts a family, meets a younger woman, and leaves his wife — just isn't as common as we are led to believe.

"Marriage changes men more pervasively and more profoundly than it changes women," explains sociologist Steven Nock, author of Marriage in Men's Lives. "The best way to put it is, marriage is for men what motherhood is for women." Marriage makes men grow up. Nock observes that many men before marriage are indifferent workers, and, after hours, are likely to be found in bars or zoned out in front of a TV. After marriage, they are solid wage earners, frequent churchgoers, maybe members of a neighborhood protection association. But divorce takes that underpinning away, leaving men strangely infantilized and unsure of their place in the world. They feel like interlopers in the stands at their children's soccer games or in the auditorium for their school plays.

Compounding this pain, men find the deck is stacked against them. The divorce system tends to award wives custody of the children, substantial child support, the marital home, half the couple's assets, and, often, heavy alimony payments.

This may come as startling news to a public that has been led to believe that women are the ones who suffer financially postdivorce, not men. But the data show otherwise, according to an exhaustive study of the subject by Sanford L. Braver, a professor of psychology at Arizona State University and author of Divorced Dads: Shattering the Myths. "The man is in a lot poorer condition than the popular media portray," he says. "This idea of the swinging, happy-go-lucky, no-worries single guy in a bar... that's just not it at all." The misconception was fueled by Harvard professor Lenore Weitzman's widely cited book, The Divorce Revolution: The Unexpected Social and Economic Consequences for Women and Children in America.

Weitzman's 1985 tome claimed that postdivorce women and children suffer on average a 73 percent drop in their standard of living, while the divorced men's standard of living increased by 42 percent. Years later, Weitzman acknowledged a math error; the actual difference was 27 percent and 10 percent, respectively. But Braver says even that figure is based on severely flawed calculations. Weitzman and other social scientists ignored men's expenses — the tab for replacing everything from the bed to the TV to the house — as well as the routine costs of helping to raise the children, beyond child support. Even the tax code favors women: Not only is child support not tax deductible for fathers, but a custodial mother can take a $1,000 per child tax credit; the father cannot, even if he's paying. As "head of the household," the mother gets a lower tax rate and can claim the children as exemptions. If the ex-wife remarries, she is still entitled to child support, even if she marries a billionaire. Indeed, every year men are actually thrown in jail for failing to meet their child-support obligations. In the state of Michigan alone, nearly 3,000 men were locked up for that offense in 2005.

But for many men, the real pain isn't financial, it's emotional: "Men depend on women for their social support and connections," says Buckley. "When marriages end, men can find themselves far more alone than they ever expected." In a large-scale Canadian survey, 19 percent of men reported a significant drop in social support postdivorce. Women are customarily the keepers of the social calendars, and all that is implied by that, providing for what University of Texas sociologist Norval D. Glenn calls the "intangibles" that can create much of a man's sense of place in the world. More often than not, wives send out the Christmas cards; they stitched that cute Halloween costume their daughter wore in second grade; they recall the names of the neighbors who used to live two houses down. The men who bear all these unexpected burdens do so alone, in a strange place, while their ex-wives and children live in the houses that used to be theirs. For an ex-husband to enter that house can feel like trespassing, even though it was paid for with his own money, or sometimes, built with his own hands.

Long before his wife came along, a frame-store owner named Jordan Appel, 55, had built a fine house for himself atop West Newton Hill in one of the fancier Boston suburbs. He loved bringing in a wife and then adding two children. "It felt so wonderful to say 'my wife' and 'my children' and feel part of a community." He volunteered for the preschool's yard sale; his wife took up with a lover. Sometimes she slept with him in Appel's own house; in time, she decided to divorce Appel. As these things go, he was obliged to leave the house, and, as it happened, the community too. Money was so tight that he ended up sleeping in a storage room above his frame shop two towns away. His ex-wife works part-time on the strength of Appel's child custody and alimony payments, and spends time with her boyfriend in Appel's former house. She lives rather well, and he has to make $100,000 a year to support her and the children, which amounts to 70-hour workweeks. One day, he went back to his house and discovered many of his belongings out on the sidewalk with the trash. "My body feels like it's dissolving in anger," he says. "I'm in an absolute rage every single day."

"What are five of the biggest stressors a human being can face?" asks Ned Holstein, MD, executive director of Fathers and Families, a Massachusetts-based reform group for divorced dads. "One: the death of a child. Two: the loss of a spouse. Three: the loss of a home. Four: a serious financial reversal. And five: losing a relationship with a child. All of these except the first are combined in a father's experience of divorce. People always think the man is a lone wolf and he can take care of himself. Well, he's also a human being, and people don't think through what that means for men."

As hard as such deprivations are on the psyche, they can be devastating to a man's health. Recently divorced men are nearly nine times more likely to commit suicide than their female counterparts, according to a study by sociologist Augustine Kposowa. "It's not so much the loss of money," he says, "but the loss of children that propels men to suicide." Or it could be a combination. Infuriated by his obligation to pay child support for three children he rarely saw, Perry Manley snuck a hand grenade inside a federal courthouse in Seattle last year and was shot to death by security personnel after they spotted it. The death was termed "suicide by cop." Kposowa has also detected an increased incidence of motor-vehicle accidents among divorced men, either due to a lack of concentration, sleeplessness, or, more darkly, suicide "cloaked as an accident," he says.

Compared with married or single men, divorced men are nine times as likely to be admitted to the hospital, to report difficulties at work, or to suffer significant depression. According to a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry, they suffer the effects of divorce with the intensity that their wives experience the death of a close friend. And they suffer physical maladies. "Their blood pressure goes up, and so does their cholesterol, and that drives up hypertension, heart disease, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease," says psychiatrist Arnold Robbins, associate editor of the Journal of Men's Health & Gender. Researchers at the Texas Heart Institute have noted that emotional stress can lead to a dangerous ballooning of the left ventricle, which they term "broken heart syndrome." Says Dr. Robbins: "A lot of metabolic syndromes kick in too, like borderline and type 2 diabetes. There's cirrhosis of the liver from too much drinking. Even prostate problems. It's not a pretty picture."

Scientists have recently come to some possible conclusions as to why this might be so. It may be as simple as a loss of being touched. James Coan, PhD, a psychologist in the departments of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Virginia, found that, for a husband, just holding his wife's hand is enough to reduce the stress associated with the anticipation of pain. Regular sex helps insulate a man from chronic stress, and that can pay off in increased longevity: In a study of 1,000 middle-aged men by researchers at Queen's University in Belfast, men who had sex at least three times a week had half the risk of heart attack or stroke of men who had sex less frequently.

Distressed by such facts, men's groups are springing up around the country. "Think of it," says Stephen Baskerville, president of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children, in Washington, D.C. "A father could be sitting in his own home, not agreeing to a divorce, not unfaithful to his marriage vows, and not abusive, and the next thing he knows, the court has taken his house, his children, and a lot of his money, and then forced him to pay his wife's legal fees and even her psychologist's fees. And he can be threatened with jail time if he resists."

So, how to avoid Sudden Divorce Syndrome? One way, of course, is to avoid marriage. Another way is by working on your marriage when it can still be salvaged. Statistically, end-stage marriage counseling is rarely effective, despite what the counselors might say. Instead, husbands might be wise to pay attention to the essential ratio that — according to John Gottman, PhD, a world-renowned researcher of marriage stability — governs marital success or failure: five to one. That means husbands (and wives) should direct at least five positive remarks or actions to their spouses for every negative one. Any less and the marriage is in trouble. Or, following the much-admired work of Howard Markman, PhD, who holds couples workshops (loveyourrelationship.com), husbands should attune themselves to their wives' "bids" — for attention, for affection, for all the things that sustain a relationship — and do their best to provide for them. In truth, husbands are not built for the demands that wives often place on them; they are less inclined to talk things out or to display emotion. But then, marriage isn't easy for either party. When a wife wants out, it is usually not out of selfishness or senseless cruelty. Sometimes the love simply runs out. Husbands should do what they can to keep that love alive. That way, they might hang on to the many delights that marriage affords and spare themselves the countless horrors that divorce can bring.

But such advice comes too late for the many men like Martin Paul and Jordan Appel, who have already fallen victim to the syndrome. For them, the best, and perhaps only, cure will be time — time to forge a new relationship that can undo the ravages of the previous one. After all, most divorced men, like most divorced women, do remarry. A second marriage is a triumph of hope over experience, yes, but it's the best chance to restore the health and security that so cruelly has been taken away. Even without remarriage, the overwhelming sense of upheaval will gradually fade if the men can only persevere. And, in time, the experience will evolve into a memory that, however bitter, yields a gift of wisdom.

hmm, no motivation to do gunpla. which is pretty amazing. oh well, mainly its because of all the sanding >_< me hate sanding.

hmm, must be losing my Gundam-y-ness. argh, need to get out there and do more gundamy stuff....

anyway, Lockie is back! lugged his Wii and my PS2 down to his place. had a little fun with the jack sparrow edition games he brought back.

and WOOOO, Lockie smashed a bottle of 2002 Chaeteu onto my PS2. although its not a ship, and isn't exactly its maiden voyage, well, t'was pretty unexpected.

and darn, my PS2 survived >_< else i could upgrade to PS3 liao. bwahaha, i'm so evil. "come, my ps2 busted, u pay $250 m kay?" *then i top up the remaining $350, PS3 GET!*

both of use were just O_o at that new G gen spirits game. attack systems are a homage to the FIF series, which kinda sucked. no more stacking and blah blah of weapons >_< now unit size is taken into consideration, CHECK OUT THE SIZE OF THAT WARSHIP!!! and now, due to the warship's blind spots, its much more stragedy based that just "lol i take my lvl99 gundam and cheong, win liao"

other games include trauma centre new blood. when we found out it was in Nippon-Go, we just wtf, took the disc out, smash! NEXT

NFS prostreet. aka, Gran Turismo on steroids. wtf, why is this even a Need For Speed series!? no free roam, no mata, no street racing, and the style is more of simulation than game, which IMHO sucked. if i wanted a simulation, I would've drove a real car. a game is meant to be a game. go look at WMMT3 for reference, with unrealistic game physics. disc almost deserved to be broke into pieces, but decide to keep for the cool cars.

then last but not least, cooking mama! if we could load it anyway >_< game refuses to load. oh well

so 4 game, only 1 is playable. too bad trauma centre is in jap, else it would be the best game out of the lot.

other than games, wehn to check out his models. argh, nvr tapao anything back >_< and the GM space command i wanted, he took it. bleh.

then another rofl thing. he took his elmeth, asked me for opinion. obviously he sanded it pretty jialat. being the good soul that i am....

"here got hole, here also, here, here, here, and here. here chipped, here not aligned, here never sharpen, here never sand properly. and here one more hole."

see, I'm so good to him. ^ ^ modelling is a very unforgiving hobby. you never do what you need to do, it will show in your completed work.

2007-12-18T00:11:00.000+08:00

bwahh, life sucks! >_<

lets see... Lockie is in thai, now in bangkok, drowning in GM gunpla. GM command, quel, custom, blah blah, you name it he seen it. oh, and he no enuff $$$ to drag any more back >_< argh.... and pity Ming Fa not going bangkok. bleh

then there's my classmate and band conductor who have been/are going to Japan. Hokkaido and Osaka respectively. Hokkaido nvm, but could tapao a bit of authentic Ramune Soda back? anyway, Osaka, wah.... sure, its not THE GUNDAM CAPITAL, Akibahara, but heck, it's near enuff on the map. argh, the guy who shld be going to Japan didn't go.... mayb next time, which is like..... nvm T_T

k, so I'm stuck at home, sanding my gundam mkII and messing around with trauma centre. helped lockie up his ranking for a few stages, then had fun killing patients for the rest. damn, i'm evil and sick. killed one patient who needed minor surgery for a fractured arm, lol. beats sanding anyway, sanded for the whole day, and only managed to complete the right arm and leg. gargh! someone help me sand please T_T tedious shit is tedious, and modern gunpla got like 54 parts for one leg alone O_o each part got 3 studs that need sanding, you go do the math.

fought with sis for the 8pm timeslot for TV. and it was pretty lol.

"Let go of the remote!" use 2 hand to pull it. my hand was on the remote, between her hands.

"I already did. you just need to push it forward and down, then can liao. i just resting my hand on it."

REMOTE GETTO DASE!! channel 8 switch on! eh, y not working?

"oh, the receiver got masking tape."

remote flies to the wall, and shatters onto the floor.

I win! k, now to fix the remote..... at least it isn't the Wiimote, else lockie will strangle me with the wriststrap >_<

tamiya masking tape. solves all problems, esp modelling ones

EDIT: Mr Television Remote (2003-2007)

you were a great home appliance gadget, perhaps the best. always there when you were needed the most, forever working hard, switching the channels and screwing up the volume. you were the best remote a tv could ever have. you will be missed.

2007-12-16T23:37:00.000+08:00

Congrats to all, and great job for the wonderful performance at the Esplanade!

esp. Fennell Band! ^ ^

well, the 1 person I really want to thank would be Mr Tan Aik Kee Ken Steven (O_o long name is looooooooooooong). guiding us through the 3 pieces with great fun. and for teaching me smthg about self confidence. couldn't have played that well under another conductor. and sides, he didn't exactly conduct. he just started the tempo going, and stood back as he watched Fennell just auto-pilot through the whole thing. then cue in some important parts, that's about it. he style, i guess.

"listen to one another, then your music will be together. you won't even need me to conduct."

oh, and also "dun need them lah, tell them dun come lol, you yourself can liao."

nb, only tubist. wtf wtf wtf.

woo, quite a lot of stuff...

Saturday + Sunday

okay, went down to the clubhouse on saturday. as expected, promethuss and chino were there. heck, they're the only ones that come down on saturday. prommy was cheonging his 2 kits, and chino was helping him.

anyway, i was also doing my stuff. heavily modding my guntank and sanding my gundam mkII (and i haven't finish sanding it yet, argh!!!)

so we were just doing that until..... WOOH, 10pm liao. siao liao, prommy kit haven't finish. since the meet is coming really fast, he can't find time to complete it. then comes the decision.....

STAY OVERNIGHT AT THE WORKSHOP! woo, so all 3 of us decided to do that. but 1st, SMS mother the address, so just in case know where to collect my corspe lol. choy!

anyway, great fun. lots of stupid jokes, and funny things. see prommy go "GRRRRR" over decals. "relac, relac, decals only!"

and also some creepy stuff. at 4am, we decided to close the shutter so we can well, sleep. down it goes. and just a while later, lots of footsteps and children giggling loudly outside. and mind you, it's the 7yr range that kind. wah lan, damn freaky. and we were like "wanna open teh shutter see how?" "fuck care, too lazy to do it" "k"

macham fatal frame.

k so all the way until sunday, 10am. Reeve came in, and go "wooh, I'm not the earliest? what time your come?"

"11am, 1.30pm and 3pm."

"huh?"

"we stay overnight"

"O_o"

so yeah, sunday. more sanding and stuff. oh, and we found the coffeeshop, got one crab running around the floor, not tied up or anything. wooo.... security guard?

and Locki called back. shiok sia he, now stuck in thailand female-only orphanage.

loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli loli

just dun get caught by the mata over there. i know got a lot of real life Kokonoe Rin over there.

Monday

outing with Darren, Kiat Lee, and old sec sch friends. dota time! basically just played lan for 5hr. then makan and stuff. sian, Darren battlefield 2 pro seh. found good spot to snipe, end up kena snipe by him. oh, and also bazooka madness.

Tuesday

went down to DBG again, grabbed some paints and plaplate. wanted to finish sanding my gundam mkII, but no motivation. instead played trauma centre until shiok.

2007-12-06T23:13:00.000+08:00

muahahaha, I survived the band camp!

monday to wednesday. how hard could it be? well.... it is, since I just gotten my gundam mkII ver2.0 and I barely touched it. boderline depression, when the vick and his gunpla are seperated. thanks darren, for letting me go home and bring it along. ah, suddenly the camp seems much better.

will not say much about the camp, so ur have to join band to find out ^ ^ but yeah, nice planning, pretty smooth, and you guys handled it well despite the unexpected outcome.

either way, back home. KO-ed for the whole of wednesday.

today!

shiok!!! defeated that stupid savato in trauma centre : second opinion. also played a bit of those X missions. so far so good, completed all. reactions getting faster, which is good. all these in preparation for the new 2 player trauma centre : new blood. Lockie come back!

sanded a bit of the gundam mkII. grrr, huge seamlines throughout the kit, and lots of em too. going to have a tough time with this big fella.

and argh!!! my $100, suddenly gone just like that. omfg. let me backtrack. $20 for that meal at some jap restaurant. $10 for sis books, $10 for present $10 for guntank. that's $50. treat sis lunch, $10. band camp 1st day makan $10. top up ezlink + makan $10. that's $80 total. I LOST $20 OMFG!!!

2007-12-02T00:09:00.000+08:00

Finally! after.... 3 to 4 fucking long months. IT IS DONE!!! yes yes yes! The Turbokat is done!!!

of course, met a lot of fuck ups along the way. so many, its like one year worth of fuck ups thrown into one little plastic model the size of your palm. since there're so much fuck ups, might was well have a "fuck up award" for them.

Scariest Fuck Up -> forgot I'm using a spraycan. held part at airbrush range. to near the spraycan, the paint turned into droplets. messed up the whole thing, spent a lot of effort to clean up. and still fucked up, the colour tone. oh, also strawberry jam under the masking tape. brrrr

Newbs can only fuck this up Fuck Up -> wtf do you mean paint makes it thicker? (after finding that the 3rd engine is jammed)

stupid Fuck Up -> didn't do a good masking job, parts which I left out now show up in all sorts of funny colours. damn, need to clean it up...

easiest to clean up Fuck Up -> forgot to paint the metal bars for the cockpit. solved with a bit of masking and spraying.

Not a Fuck Up Fuck Up -> hey, not my fault the metallic red parts dun align! I was just following the sketches! oh well, solvable with a bit of masking and spraying, I guess...

Fuck Care this Fuck Up -> needle broke again. 15th time. decided to just fuck care, sides the needle will break again in future. no point forcing.

Fuck Up not on model -> ARGH!!! I SUPERGLUED MY PANTS!!! KENA MY POCKET, NOW CANNOT OPEN IT! ARGH MY WALLET INSIDE!!!

~~~~~~~~~~

those are some of the more extreme Fuck Ups encountered during the production of this kit. anyway, there're great moments as well.

Most Orgasm-tic Moment -> peeling off the masking tape for the reverse tiger stripes at the head. the feeling is so OOOOhh... and there are 6 stripes. shiok. the feeling is beyond description, you just have to do it to believe it.

easiest moment -> spraycan flat black. Fuck Up? no way, its the base for goodness sake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

anyway, I need to clear up some visible fuck ups, so no pics avaliable yet. however, I will post some once it is up.

2007-11-29T18:48:00.000+08:00

hmm....

ytd, supposed to go for the class outing, but oh well, I had to detour to taka for a short while, important stuff. needed to grab an Acguy for Reeve, double-confirm the BAKUC 2007 results, and snatch a gundam mkII ver 2 MG for myself. kiat lee decided to tag along, and he managed to find some great bargains. but did not purchase anything.

either way, we then made our way down to plaza s'pura. shawn told us to go to cathay, so we did. then once we got there, it rained. okay, fine, we WERE ALREADY AT PLAZA SINGAPURA DAMNIT, WHY TELL US TO MEET SOMEWHERE ELSE WHEN YOU GUYS ARE IN THE FUCKING SAME BUILDING!? never mind, you called to tell us ou guys couldn't get out of plaza sing, so told us to WAIT FOR YOU. k, so me and kiat lee just stoned around.

1 whole freaking hour later, I called shawn. guess what? "we took a taxi and are already there"

THE FUCK!? almost wanted to just explode in his fucking ear. i stress the word almost. now have to plan already, is it really worth giving face to a fucker (aka shawn) when he doesn't give any face to us. your move, at least tell the both of us what, so instead of stoning there, we could've done something like taking a taxi as well or what.

good. you dumped us at the cathay and CONVEINENTLY FORGOTTEN US. thanks, now I know what kind of a fucker you are. not only do you have an attitude problem, but also you love to treat people like shit. thanks a lot.

ah well, better make us of the time. cs-ed for 2hrs with KL. lots of rofl moment, including a bot which had top frag for the 1st 10 rounds O_o then the opposing team was like shouting "kill the bot, kill the bot"

afterwards, off to X-zone. played silent hill the arcade, wooo scary game. oh, and also got top score (again) for SoZ.

not bad, pretty fun day. in fact, I feel it might be more fun than going for the class outing. perhaps its better that way also, considering that its always those econs people going whenever "class outing" is concerned.

*so glad I do not have to face your fucking attitude next year. better fucking return Kiat Lee's disc asap. yes, Shawn, I'm talking to you.*

2007-11-25T23:50:00.000+08:00

TODAY AIRCRAFT MEET POSTPONED TO NEXT SUNDAY

WAH NAHBEH HENG ARGH!!!

lol, and I was "huff huff, only this part left, ONLY THIS PART LEFT, MUST COMPLETE!!!"

oh well, at least the whole plane is up, just need to sand a bit and can spray colour already. lol, i can work under constrained deadlines!

either way, nothing much happened, just more borrowing of $$$ from people >_< sian, y never give me my allowance? oh, and also Kiat Lee is back from fairyland, and right away order me to take back the disc from Shawn, just a day immediately after I gave it to him. sorry, disc owner's orders.

anyway, today clubhouse quite sian, a number of pple didn't come. jhonny sis kena hospitalized, hope she recovers quickly! chino and promethus just got their job assignments changed such that their sundays no longer free, work hard and dun forget us! and lockie overseas doing shit stuff, lol good luck have fun, gong hei lei. at least ur CIP hr anni zhui.

did some stupid stuff, like...

"aye, why u take calculator?"
"calculate stuff lor, triangle, measurements, etc."
"just fuck care, use agar-ration, problem solved."
"*press press press* ayah, fuck care lah, I guesstimate lor..."

later

"heng I guesstimate, that stupid prev idea very wrong, will fuck up."

so yeah, agar-ration is the best concept in the universe.

2007-11-21T21:30:00.000+08:00

wooh, looked at some of the entries for the BAKUC. and wooh, really hope someday I could get my skillz at that level.

esp. the main piece, the only expert category. to enter that category, you have to win for 3 BAKUC competitions 1st. and damn, the providence gundam, got this "I wanna skin you alive, then carve out 1mm strips of flesh, and just do funny stuff to your dead body" feel to it. heck, it's alive, you can see the killer aura and the "me chop you now!" in its eyes. damn nice.

after that, grabbed a Si Ma Yi and a Cao Cao. sian, so the free plastic dragon is only give one random dragon, and 1 only, not all 3. ah fuck, so cheapo. i paid $20 for a lousy piece of painted transparency. nvm, at least it's nice and can use for other future models ^ ^

too bad, cant see all the entries, cuz had to leave early, for some jalan jalan with the clubhouse pple around bugis/orchard/DBG.

anyway, sry guys, tml can go for the class outing, cuz had some personal commitments. aka: I left my HGUC Qubeley at the clubhouse, and have to rescue it tml else Ming Fa will cope and use for his Qubeley model >_<

oh, and Turbokat stuff seems to be proceeding pretty quickly, this Sunday is the aircraft meet, must finish it by then! at least the plane itself, the weapons can fuck care 1st.

anyway, got plenty of new projects in my mind right now. a tankgelion, a gundam mkII OOB (out of box) and perhaps a NOOB (Not OOB) too. ah well, have to see my financial consultant. i barely have enuff to buy paints, let alone an airbrush and a kit.

2007-11-20T20:51:00.000+08:00

hmm, why are there so many self-centered idiots in this world? (myself included)

as usual, I'll try not to name this bugger here, but well... i shared with some of you guys already, so ya.... if u already know who that bugger is, shaddap. ^ ^

okay, it started off as my fault, forgot to do [important event]. well, not exactly forget, more of like "collasped and fainted once i touched the bed". its my fault actually.

and being a responsible bugger, that bugger sent me an SMS reminder. great, except that i already left the house. anyway, since i haven't done [important event] yet, i asked for a 1 day extention, before i return the [important item].

and cock, if i could do [important event] i wouldn't need you to tell me, and flood my inbox with 18 of your SMSes. 18. and i already told that bugger i WILL return it that very day, just that i can't give a time too meet up, cuz i dun even know when my NUS thing end, not to mention i need to meet up with my fellow modellers to borrow some modelling stuff.

(yes, self above nation! told ya i was a self-centered bastard)

then mr bugger shot me, and double sent it summore. good, i want to return [important item] to you, you don't want, summore say until like i not going to return, fine! I grant you your wish, I WON'T RETURN [important item]! I GIVE BACK TO THE ACTUAL OWNER WHEN HE RETURN FROM FAIRYLAND!

FUCK, PRESSURE ME UNTIL LIKE THAT. I LET YOU WIN LOR, GRANT YOU YOUR WISH.

and that, is the reason why i "knife" bugger's phone calls and SMS ever since that final SMS from him that day.

do not pressure me, if I say yes, I will make sure it's done. simple as that. if I say no, it means I cannot do it. if I say dunno, it means I dunno, will tell you later. you guys should already know my character.

oh, and never use "because I need it" as a reason. never. just remember, in this world, unless its because of some kinship, close friendship or some obligations, NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU! face it, this is how the world works. I had to learn it the hard way, at work. now I'm telling you guys who are reading this.

oh and also, no Gundam no interest. returning the bugger [important item] has no Gundam in it. borrowing modelling stuff has. guess which one is more important?

anyway, I'm just ranting. just cleared this mess up with said bugger

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ah now that's off my chest, back to norm stuff ^ ^

fixed up the wing of the Turbokat, painted and all, wooh... nice nice, I like. but need to touch up a bit, paint bleed here and there. ah well, pretty good for my 1st time using airbrush.

and got new modeller! ^ ^ good, I can see the Gundam spirit and Newtype in you. work hard, don't fail us, next year BAKUC together ^ ^ and also, model meets

woops, dunno your name yet.

anyway, tml BAKUC selected entries will be at takashimaya lvl 3. go have a look. I promised to go help my fellow modellers who got selected. sorry band, tml can't go. Gunpla comes 1st. (and yes, I didn't take part, so stop asking. I wanna save my "1st time BAKUC" title for next year)

2007-11-18T00:44:00.000+08:00

well, pretty eventful couple o days, i guess

NUS engineering quest, way more than what I expected. pretty fun and insightful actually, and the best part, THE CHAIRS! inside the auditorium, simply the best, can twist and turn, very comfy, perfect height for writing and sleeping and everything, leg room is just nice.... "my only complain is that there's nothing to kao peh about" (quoted from Lockie, his response for Ming Fa's gunpla)

speaking of Lockie, he kena dragged by his mum to thailand to do volunteer work until dec 20. wahahaha, miss aircraft meet, SD competition, Sty clubhouse year end BBQ. all at one go. ah well, gong hei lei, and no plamo for a whole month, yes i know how that feels. we kinda have some plamo withdrawal symptoms, get bitchy and all. bwahaha, your Wii is mine!!! until u come back. ^ ^

progress on the Turbokat is slow at best, somehow I can forget about it totally. must b all the times i got dragged to mum's office. sadly, the Office Spider has relocated to a new location, else can have fun feeding it. >_<

tml, i predict a long day ahead. must get my stupid Turbokat done up asap, next sunday is the aircraft meet already.

oh, and now i can play trauma centre at home ^ ^

2007-11-13T23:48:00.000+08:00

nice, today's trip to the clubhouse, and I remembered what drawn me to professional plastic modelling in the 1st place.

every sunday, it's like we all just throw aside our daily lives, and come together, as equals, chit-chat about totally random stuff (and usually obscene, now ur know y i become so cock, lol)

and about the model itself. it's like getting back your childhood, but in a more mature state of mind. huh? okay: if you can see a near-50 year old guy build a plane model, very realistic, with nice bullet holes and battle-damage, very nice and all; upon completion, take the plane and go "phew.....taa taa taa taa...."

yeap. O_o

next is well, only musicians can appreciate music, and only modellers can appreciate models. I show ur my plane, ur go "okay...". i show them, they just jaw drop, stun, "siao! nahbeh how u do one!? veri nice, i like". doing models with ur is bleh.... unmotivating at best.

and and and, we kind of share our works around, appreciate, blah blah... to normal pple, perhaps its just a nice chunk of plastic, but to us, each and every single work is a masterpiece, irregardless of fuck ups. (and y did i use so much "and"? strange...)

last but not least, perhaps its simply put, the joy of creation. and the frustration of fuck ups

2007-11-12T23:54:00.000+08:00

damn, life sucks. just met up with my dad, and well, some of ur may know that my parents have divorced when i was in pri 5.

either way, he's having more family problems in his new family, and prob going to divorce again. O_o wow....and the way he talked about it, it sounded like smthg that happens all the time, like eating or not winning 4D. O_o not that I'm blaming anyone, but well, for a person to treat smthg so serious as a common occurance, he must've gone thru a lot of it.

looking at his face, it's obvious that he's having a lot of worries, but yet he is hiding it behind a superficial reassuring smile, though a little unsuccessfully. no wonder he kept repeating the same thing to me: don't make the same mistakes I did.

sad. is having a family, or rather, THE family insignificant in today's context?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

serious thinking stuff aside, managed to PERFECT THE ENGINE INTAKES OF THE TURBOKAT (insert sprinkles, trumpet fanfare, whatever you name it)

and damn, the nose broke on me again, for the 8th time. Oh god of plamo, high up in the skies and heavens, why must you torture me like that T_T and u better not let me see u, else i will break ur V fin, damnit.

okay, now only left the middle body, and the tail. shiokness.

2007-11-10T23:46:00.000+08:00

spent the whole day working on the turbokat. result? not a single advancement yet.

1stly, no black n decker. ya, that tua tua electric drill. so cannot work on the stupid engine intake.

2ndly, ran out of plaplates. so constructing works are like halted, until i get a new pack tml.

3rdly, the nosetip refuse to work with me. removed it and re-cemented it to the nose for the 6th time, still sangneh. wtf. piss me off a bit more, i will get a metal needle, j-j-jam it in, and spray.

and the cockpit. ah nice, just figured out its in the wrong shape. ah fuck care, just use it and make my personal modifications.

either way, yeah. there's a reason why certain things do not exist. learnt it the hard way that the Turbokat only exist on 2D, 3D the dimensions are so off, there's absolutely no way it could have the same shape as the one on paper.

2007-11-10T13:57:00.000+08:00

suppose u were given a chance to go back in time to change certain things. what would it be?

serious: well, in sec sch there's this girl i like, so ya, i'd prob go back and give the past myself one big tight slap across the face, telling him to wake up his idea. or whack him unconscious, throw him into a longkang and take over his place. oh, and also steal his gunpla, so i dun need to spend so much $$$ buying them, lol

for the lulz: go waaaaaaaay back to the start of 1979, so i can catch Mobile Suit Gundam on japan tv.

2007-11-09T00:46:00.000+08:00

i look at the state of the class, i look at my Turbokat plamo.

both are in pieces, scattered in my toolbox. the main body in one ziplock bag, the other parts in another. alone, they are nothing more than random chunks of plastic.

some have left, like the few mistakes and floor-monster victims of my plamo. some are working hard to stay together, like the WIP engine intakes.

irregardless, they're still a part of a modelkit. just that well, someone needs to put them together.

1 more week to the end of sch. i still remembered very clearly that i promised to show the finished Turbokat to the class. probably just a few pple, but still....

engine intakes, tails, that small wing at the kachng, the changable middle section. 7 more days at most. will i make it? no, I MUST MAKE IT!!!

childish to think that the class will be more cohesive with just 1 model kit. but oh well, i'm optimistic, aren't i?

2007-11-07T01:28:00.000+08:00

wah.... another nite spent at mum's office.

so today, just accompany her until 11.30pm. ya, OT lah, then watch too much channel 8 on saturday 11pm, ur know lah. all those ghost stuff about office blocks. >_<

no interaction time with the photocopier machine. damn. u know, me and that photocopy machine, we kinda have a mutual relationship. i feed paper and press button, he go "eeeee" and spit out copies. good friends, together watch the time waste away. see, i can bond with machines ^ ^

bleh... so today just bodyguard only lah, no photocopy stuff. hang around the water cooler, then watch the office spider lor. got one empty box below the table, inside got one spider, no business.

and guess what? the ant spawning season is here! yes, tons of those winged ants flying around. so i tossed a few in for the lulz. and see him go! remind me of dota sia.... toss a few more in ^ ^

and office spider smart okay! 1st 3 he bite, then later 4 he just wrap up and save for future use, no biting so still fresh. then he grab the fattest ant and drag to his personal corner in the web and suck. okay, and listening to gundam classical music, very wrong, lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

haiz, no $$$. damnit, no $$$. out there, still got so much gunpla, plamo and supplies for me to buy! nvm, can tahan.

and in today's news: KL was raped. no surprise, didn't someone sms him saying "screw him" or what? then he also sms back same stuff. lol. (no offense at both parties)

2007-11-05T22:28:00.000+08:00

promo results back. and let me do some shameless self-motivational apprasials 1st.

WOOT!!! 1st for Phy PE, 2nd for Phy overall (in class)!!! 2nd GP overall (in class)!!!1st for Chem H1 PE (in class)!!!

and...... Singapore top scorer for the gundam-y arcade game Spirits of Zeon!!!

bwahahaha..... now let's ignore my boderline 35 maths for a moment....

2007-11-04T23:53:00.000+08:00

hmm, clubhouse decided that in order to keep it opened, members have to pay a small sum of $$$ for building models. not like I mind though. if that bit of $$$ can keep it open indefinitely, all the better. already lost one gundam paradise, dun wanna lose another one.

anyway, Turbokat project is not at all okay. just found out a big mistake with the measurements, now I dunno.... was this close to throwing the whole fucking thing away and fuck care, but meh. it's a little piece of thing that I'm slowly bringing it to life. to abort it just like that is just wrong. heck, what I'm typing now also sounds wrong. anyway, just grit my teeth and bear with another 10hr of non-stop filing.

and wooh, file so fast until the whole diamond file heat up and burnt me O_o heng plastic no visible problem or melting.

and yeah. if i find another stupid mistake, mayb the joke that i use a plabrick file into plamo might become true. O_o

anyway, another day at the DBG arcade. damn, player 1 has so much more point scoring opportunities than player 2. ah well, doesn't really matter i guess. hmm, now have 6.2 mil, next aim for 6.5 mil.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

personal stuff aside, damn this fucked up world.

so many negative stuff happening, one after another. class falling apart like a plastic kit which needs cement not cemented together. its damn sad, to see classmates actually forgetting that the class doesn't comprise of just a few pple. sure, no one actually meant it, but well.... such stuff, shouldn't it be natural instead of forced? as in, you just happen to think about it, not because someone reminded you.

and if I tot i could escape from all these fuck ups during Sundays, oh boy.... modelling students slacking around, making Reeve so angry, then missing malt coats unaccounted for, and also fuckers who dunno how to maintain airbrushes.

on the way back, this bangla kept eyeing my phone, like want to steal like that.

fucked up world. at least my S'pore's top for SoZ is still intact.

2007-11-03T00:39:00.000+08:00

YES!!! GOT BACK MY SINGAPORE NUMBER 1 FOR SPIRITS OF ZEON!!!

3 consecutive attempts, rest, then 2 more tries. got it on the last final try, 6.2million score!!! woot. all other attempts managed to secure at least a 5.2 million. see, brute force works. if it doesn't, you're not using enough.

never knew i could tahan so long, damn fight those gundams one after another w/o rest, just fueled by determination to reclaim my status, wooh.... and was screaming all the way fighting for the last and second last attempts. like "wargh!!!" *machinegun, slash chop*

anyway, OP also ended. satisfied with my own performance, and that's enough for me.

either way, read thru some classmates blogs. hmm, seems like our class is split apart into 2 distinct groups already. gone were the days when we used to celebrate stuff together as a class, now it's just group A and group B. its pretty sad actually, especially with some negative feelings between both groups. as well as classmates. i too, also find myself gradually changing my opinion on stuff, but, silly as it may seem, its still better to try to be on good terms with everyone. after all, why listen to others, go and do your own judgement yourself.

in the end, you are going to be alone anyway. trust and be yourself, fuck care the rest of the world.

2007-10-30T22:21:00.000+08:00

wah nahbeh, tio virus.

I believe that the virus mode of attack is like this: it randomly grabs a msn contact and gives a 3 line "chat", urging you to dl something labelled image24. once you open it, a trojan horse implants into your com while your com freezes up.

so ya, given that wen ren wasn't even online at that time, so its definitely not his fault.

either way.... trojan horse.... THE WHITE DEVIL!!! >_< nahbeh, geddit it out, geddit out!!! (in the original gundam, the warship which carries the Gundam, White Base, is called Trojan Horse by the enemies. woo, got a Gundam running around in my com)

heng heng pull plug in time, cuz i dun see any strange stuff happening.

2007-10-29T23:14:00.000+08:00

OH SHI- Lockie just got 6 million score for SoZ, meaning I'm no longer S'pore's #1!!!! NO!!!!!

anyway, Lockie, good job. now I'm more motivated to win ur score ^ ^ dun forget it is I who taught u how to kill GP01fb.

anyway, scrapped the plan of playing SoZ today, for dota-ing with 119 pple. not bad, at least a portion of my skills are still around after 6 mths.

phew, still able to live up to my promise. in sec sch, cuz I was using Nerubian Weaver so much until my classmates say "if u want to use weaver again, u better kill something by lvl 3."

so far, I'm able to live up to it ^ ^ damn, it's tough though.

anyway,

the Agriculture Ministry is not in charge of Gundam. The Defense Ministry is!

2007-10-28T02:13:00.000+08:00

hmm, ABO blood group questions.... so far, all of my sources point our AB+ as being able to receive from all blood groups, and O- being able to be given to all blood groups. and sources are not limited to interwebz stuff, but also the blood donations handouts, my biology textbook and notes. However, my classmate says otherwise (as in AB+ being ONLY ABLE to receive from AB+ types, no other). confusing O_o.... ah well, correct until proven wrong, since he didn't exactly provide me with a definite source.

why get so fired up over such a trival matter? dunno, I've been like that since.... since I could remember. perhaps its to really challenge facts which I know, but either way it has helped in my pursuit for gundamy knowledge. O_o now, if only I could do the same for sch work...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ah, woke up too late, at 3pm. vaguely remembered gnawing at some makan, but otherwise just the memory of having missiles slamming into your plane from head-on. yum. damn, no playing of PS2 when I just wake up, reflexes and thinking suck.

ah, Lockie saved my day from being a boring waste of life. rushed down to DBG, SPIRIT OF ZEON!!! 4 rounds total. not bad, he managed to get a 4.9 million with 46 emblems. currently we both draw with the highest number of emblems, but I'm still S'pore's top scorer ^ ^ 5 million, beat that Lockie.

and wooh, he polished off a ton of gunpla-related stuff. the moe-tan set, one HGUC hyaku shiki bling-bling, Liu Bei Guan Yu Zhang Fei gundams, and one keroro gunsou plushie. wah, richie rich eh? tml no $$$, become bitchy bitch.

I got a nice steal, 1500 cotton buds for $3. sweet. dumping it at the clubhouse tml, "public service". to the members, all the best for the BAKUC competitions. now must wish your using some random gundamy quotes. good luck and godspeed, may victory shine upon you, gunpla we can do it, uh.... Sieg Zeon?

damn.... this class is cruel T_T slaughtered and maimed, like how in counterstrike u kena HE grenade, then a shotgun blast at close range, then the entire team comes over and spraypaint your dead body with one retard doing the knife slashing, then someone go plant C4 over ur body, and terrorist win....

ayoh.... not interested means not interested lah, y like that always force >_< I guess the worst thing when it comes to such fake BGR teasing would be that it's all false. sry Jacintha, dragged you into the boys teasing.

ah, apart from the sudden increase in intensity of the BGR teasing, damn the OP. still have severe stage fright problems. thought I got rid of it in sec sch, now its back. brrrrr *shivers*

hmm, suddenly Chua, Kiat Lee, Zhen Yu and Chan want to buy gunpla O_o wow, gunpla is contagious and addictive. and wtf, their taste all so high, limited editions and the other WTF (wah that's fierce) price tags. ah well, also good, so I not so lonely bwahaha

went to popular bookshop, check out teh military modelling magazines. nahbeh, hentai perverts sia, those modellers. 1:48 scale plane can use copper wire make the interior wiring, summore when it's supposed to be straight it's straight. and another one, plaplate the interiors for a 1:144 F16. inhuman, eeeeeeeee. somehow, I wanna try try, though I know my 1337 skillz, cannot.

now PS2-ing away the time, afk brb

2007-10-21T21:47:00.000+08:00

one of the best Sunday Clubhouse trips ever!

1stly, welcome home Gabriel! despite the lan jiao lang that you are, it's good to have you back (abiet until tuesday)

flew to Australia for 2 weeks, then immediately to France for 4 weeks while doing domestic shuttle flights to the airbus factory. yep, he's a SIA pilot.

according to him, the A380 is HUGE. and not just big, but HUGE. he was landing this coporate jet, and as he was taxi-ing down the runway, he looked to his side at the A380. he noticed that the wheel was much larger than him. anyway, according to him, it's 2x the size of the 747. at least.

ah, and despite the lan jiao lang that he is, at least he knows how to respect stuff ^ ^. looked at my Turbokat, went "WOOH NAHBEH, you really go and scratchbuild out ah!? not bad not bad, veri nice"

next, after the clubhouse members decide to call it a day, went to SoZ. unlocked the GP01fb, defeated it, and went on to finish the game with 5 million in score, 42 emblems. yep, currently best SoZ player in Singapore ^ ^

2007-10-20T01:18:00.000+08:00

YESH!!! FINALLY!!!

finally managed to defeat that stupid lambo murcielago in need for speed carbon on Lockie's Wii. damn, that was a tough battle, restart and retry for 1 whole hr before finally got it. yesh....

woot, praise teh internetz, KEKEKEKEKE. just watched 300 over at Lockie's place shortly before the NFSC cheonging. very very nice movie, for THIS IS SPARTA!!! hmm, on a side note there was something called the Spartan GM. "Our zaku machineguns will block out the sun bwahahaz"

damn gundam. ruins my vision. can't stop seeing GMs vs Goufs and Zakus. not that I'm complaining though..... except all the new ideas for my next model kit project. ah budget budget.

speaking of budget, phew managed to pull back from near $0 in my wallet. Lockie returned the $$$, and managed to sell off some stuff. hopefully have enuff left for that aircraft carrier sitting at the hobby point shop in Tampines.

ah, next up on the sch calendar: Physics Olympiad, Oral P, Chinese Air Levels. wow, looks like a busy week

modelling projects: Turbokat (WIP), GM striker (SoZ colours?), Aircraft Carrier?

2007-10-17T10:03:00.000+08:00

This is not childish boy, not childish!

2007-10-17T00:44:00.000+08:00

New Phone!!!

okay, not exactly new, since it's a hand-me-down from my sis. but hey, Gundam mkII is a hand-me-down, Gundam X is a hand-me-down, Strike is a hand-me-down, Impulse is a hand-me-down, Zeta Gundam is a hand-me-down, Re-GZ is a hand-me-down, V Gundam is a hand-me-down. so hand-me-downs =/= suck.

and yep. damn bleedy shiok ah, sony ericsson phones can and really "sony ericsson" music, now happily blasting off MSG soundtracks. sadly can't find any other soundtracks for other gundam series >_<

oh well, at least i managed to get a full pack of sound effects for my SMS. beam saber slash, FTW!!!

ya, went over to lock house again, as usual he had trouble with need for speed carbon. oh well, hopefully the Ford GT i left him is better than the Porsche.

and after that, trauma centre marathon! storyline is solid, but not much replay value, and they should've shown more about Dr Stiles and Nurse Angie. great game, great storyline.

crap, Turbokat not even near finished. and that 25 nov dateline is coming soon. argh... and I also wanna make another plane as well. Turbokat must complete by October, or at least fixed up to the point where I only need to paint it.

2007-10-14T22:01:00.000+08:00

argh.... I so fail at BGR matters, i got rejected by an imaginary girlfriend O_o

so I went over to Lockie's place, try out his Wii, and help him with need for speed carbon.

I was helping him clear the boss stages, and he was well, playing "artificial girl 2" on his com. some kind of hentai game where you well... literally screw a girl.

so i'm done. his turn to play the Wii. some surgeon game, trauma centre. well, I wanted to use his com, check out some stuff for the need for speeed carbon.

after I'm done, he's still playing. being the horny bastard that guys are, decided to try try AG2.

1st round: not that bad, seems good. figuring out controls. anyway, the girl came, ran away, returned, ran away again, and never returned O_o

2nd round: figured out how to do some basic actions. so my character was sitting down with the girl, then suddenly she stood up, ran away and never came back.

me: eh, your AG2 how to play?
Lockie: when she come, press F.
me: to?
Lockie: F her lah

3rd round: she came, i pressed f, she gave a disgusted look, ran away and never came back.

me: wtf u bluff me
Lockie: no lah, i show u

O_o okay.....

me: I try.

4th round: she came, i pressed f, she gave a disgusted look, ran away and never came back.

lockie: rofl.
me: ah fuck it, help me load up need for speed carbon on teh Wii

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

considering that AG2 was created for people who can't get a GF, for it to reject me, meh.... I must be like, beyond cure liao lol

and loving it. that's y I prefer mechs I guess.

2007-10-12T06:22:00.000+08:00

woot, promos over! Hip, hip, HOORAY! Hip, hip, HOORAY, HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

2007-10-06T22:01:00.000+08:00

The Agriculture Ministry is not in charge of Gundam!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071005/ap_on_hi_te/japan_wikipedia_reprimands

TOKYO - Japan's Agriculture Ministry reprimanded six bureaucrats after an internal probe found they spent work hours contributing to Wikipedia on topics unrelated to farm issues — including 260 entries about cartoon robots.

The six civil servants together made 408 entries on the popular Web site encyclopedia from ministry computers since 2003, an official said Friday.

One of the six focused solely on Gundam — the popular, long-running animated series about giant robots — to which he contributed 260 times. The series has spun off intricate toy robots popular among schoolchildren as well as adults known as "otaku" nerds.

"The Agriculture Ministry is not in charge of Gundam," said ministry official Tsutomu Shimomura.

The other five bureaucrats scolded for shirking their duties focused their contributions on movies, typographical mistakes on billboard signs and local politics, Shimomura said.

The ministry's internal probe followed recent media allegations that a growing number of Japanese public servants were contributing to the Web encyclopedia, which anyone can edit, often to reflect their views.

The ministry verbally reprimanded each of the six officials, and slapped a ministry-wide order to prohibit access to Wikipedia at work, while disabling access to the site from the ministry, Shimomura said.

The ministry, however, did not object to their limited contributions on the World Trade Organization and free trade agreements.

An Imperial Household Agency official was reprimanded last month for using an agency computer to delete references on Wikipedia that criticized imperial tombs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

wait, so who is in charge of Gundam?

and isn't the cardboard box for gunpla from trees? and trees are under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Japan, so they are in charge of Gundam!

okay, pretty lame, but I nearly had a heart attack, hyperventillation, and broken spinal cord and neck after I fell laughing at this.

2007-10-04T16:37:00.000+08:00

ever had a time when you tried to do something "nice", but in the end you got well.... tons of hatred directed at you?

well, today's one such moment. I believe that he or she probably didn't meant it. after all, he or she is probably under a lot of stress, especially with the promos coming just what? next week. it's never good to be the bearer of bad news, but I thought at the very least that person has the right to know, especially such academic stuffs. and later on, I had to decline helping that person because simply put, I didn't have the time, patience and energy. not when I myself is already so jitterly over this exam shit. 2 subjects kena-ed the #1 on the diceroll. and there's no re-roll either....

Can't think of much to write now. it's just a short break I given myself anyway, in between studying. better not let this affect the mood, with the studying part already such a torture.....

and once promos are over, not time to smile yet. 25 nov, aircraft meet. and my Turbokat is far from completed. very, very far. heck, it's still in the "I think it should look smthg like this" stage.

damn, get both stuff over and done with already, I wanna work on other models.

2007-09-28T17:19:00.000+08:00

Yesterday

woot! SPIRITS OF ZEON, memories of soldiers, OUT IN ARCADES!!!

8+1 stages, more reasonable boss fights, new style of combat (which I dun really like at 1st), MORE GMs, and GMs are more hiong, heck they make the ground gundam team look like cannon fodders. new GM striker combat, etc etc. and NT1 alex!

freaking great game, but no "flow". so yeap, it's memories of the SoZ twin dual stars of carnage, cuz its just reworked stages. will miss that 1st SoZ.

and also, OG having great gunpla sales!

Today

hmm, a freaking lot of clarification is needed. esp since I can think better sitting in front of my com and my gunpla collection. ya, shld ask if can bring gunpla for promo paper....

back on topic, yeap. its about the latest class rumours, after the "I'M GAY!!!" rumour.

obscene jokes with Zhenyu, JJ, kiat lee aside, nope, never liked her, never will. but I do agree that she's pretty attractive and her personality seems nice, from my POV anyway. and no, that doesn't constitute to me liking her. but friend perhaps. it's almost she's a female version of Lockie, personality wise.

either way, I can't have a relationship. it's gunpla suicide. since I entered the world of professional modelling (not the catwalk kind. the plamo kind), my $$$ can't keep up, and can't have a part time job as well >_< also, I want my Sunday Clubhouse activities. it's what defines a Vick. no gunpla no Vick.

sigh. reminds me of my sec sch life. seriously liked this one girl. below average looks, but wooh! her personality is so.... dunno how to say. tried for 4 years, kena rejected every single time. rofl.

ah well, at least these prove that I AM STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIGHT!!!

not gay, and proud to be one!

2007-09-26T00:07:00.000+08:00

I AM STRAIGHT!!!1

okay, just so that's clear. damn, cannot apply what I learn from the clubhouse to class, rofl.

here's what happened anyway:

Ravin, Haresh, Hafiz, one other guy (i think Shawn) acting gay.
since they were seated directly in front of me, might as well have some fun eh?

ME: aye, you know hor, your continue like this..... scarly one of these days, beautiful morning, nice weather, birds are chirping, etc. your will just wake up and declare to the world I AM GHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!! (was about to add the following: then your parents come in, go WTF. how to return your parents a son?)

pity couldn't put in the follow up, cuz kena noticed by whole class. >_< next time cannot so obvious rofl

and for the last time, I AM STRAIGHT!!!

up next: "why am I a fucker?"

or maybe the differences between "fuckie" and "fucker"?

2007-09-23T22:11:00.000+08:00

DAMNIT!!! wasted one whole weekend away. ONE WHOLE WEEKEND!!!

Saturday

eunuch Kai came! wanted to take a look at his armored core, which I deleted to make space for MY armored cores. bwahahaha, I'm a selfish bastard. and I dun like how his AC can tear mine apart >_< jjk. sorry lah, how I know you need back?

anyway, played ZvA2+ and ace combat zero with him lor, since he already here. quite a fun time.

nighttime went online to some webbie which shows scary stuff. yep. midnight 2 am. woo, today's stories so high quality, really got creeped out by the 2nd, but kept reading until 3am.

SUNDAY

CLUBHOUSE DAY!!!

went early. bwahaha, poor lockie. read creepy stories with me at 2am, and even better. his WMP put a scary soundtrack and play automatically, and his scary manga cover was facing him. sigh, totally freaked out by 1/2way of 1st story. like that how to go NS? lol

oh ya, his father just had another 2 daughters in China. congrats to lockie, now he has like what? 5 half sisters? his father see beh solid, have so many families. joked around with him, say scarly in future all his zar bor turn out to be his half-sisters. even better, Ming Fa say scarly he [censored] her and made her pregnant liao..... wooh, lockie careful seh, rofl. dun get cheena zar bor.

shiok! finally one day with superb progress on the Turbokat.

after that played Talisman. some board RPG game. very fun, but long. 4hrs and it's a short game according to those who played before.

k. now must really cheong for promos liao, else will die.

2007-09-21T19:47:00.000+08:00

bleargh, hate studying, no motivation at all. ah well, die liao lor....

this sunday have to go clubhouse again even though i dun want >_< damn you lockie, lend 55 return 15 nia. at least better than other pple, lend 40 got 80 nvr return, summore go buy billabong bag. seriously, some people are screwed up

ah yes, before i forget, weiqiang/jiajian/zhengyu's request for a camo pic.

introducing the latest in camo designs: the MARPAT! digitally produced, allows for max camo anytime anywhere.

2007-09-18T18:49:00.000+08:00

hmm, according to PE teacher mr sara: its good if you take it (chocs) if your body craves it, else it will break down because you don't supply yout body with it"

okay steady, my body tells me to build more gunpla. GUNPLA!!!! (plamo zombie-mode switch ON!)

in other news, shiok.... discovered got one extra week cuz i count wrong lol. hmm, so got a bit more time, can do more stuff! dun need so rush

got hair cut. next time you cut hair, and the barber uses that special scissor-comb thing, run your hand through your hair. check it out, severe hair loss, rofl. fun for a quick scream just for the lulz.

hmm, shawn asked me a pretty.... weird question today. well, I dunno how to answer actually, but nvm, I too busy with my gundamy life, not really that interested anyway, and seriously don't feel I'm ready yet. dun wanna repeat a same tragedy. though it wouldn't hurt as well.... hmm..... SCREW THIS WORLD, ITS PS2 TIME!!!

after gunpla zombie-mode switch off. GUNPLAAAAA!!!!!

2007-09-16T21:41:00.000+08:00

die, need to hand in geog file, and all my tutorials.... gone? can't find them sia, inside my pile of dead forests.... argh mati...

anyway, went to clubhouse, today's has to be the most effective clubhouse day ever, cuz my Turbokat has the main body, + middle engine done up, after so many trips of doing nothing cuz I messed up my 1st few attempts. shldn't cut out engine then paste, haiz.... waste a good F14 for nothing

oh ya, got myself some army combat rations! took home a barley desert, heated it up, taste: bleargh.... why got ginger one!?

die, haven't reall go study for promos. nvm, cuz today is the last day for slacking, after today must cheong cheong CHEONG!!!

2007-09-07T22:21:00.000+08:00

argh, hmwk havent do..... nvm, tml have to cheong

anyway, today group outing with the regulars, need to come up with a name to refer to them sia....

back on topic, went around bugis area. if I thought I knew all the model shops, I am so wrong. was dragged to 2 more hobby shops, really hidden away. wonder how they find sia?

wanted to buy epoxy putty for sculpting (what else but my Turbokat?). damn thing's expensive, $20 for a jar about the size of a yeo's packet drink. no, even smaller. didn't buy, cuz someone else buying but using very little, the remaining he sell me cheap. not bad, just wait lor lol

as usual, shoot or be shoot. heck, even if ur not there, u also kena shoot. Lockie, poor thing rofl.

2007-09-06T20:26:00.000+08:00

been hanging around with my "darling" for the whole day today and ytd. we had a lot of fun, visiting snow-capped mountains, went diving in the seas, camped in lush green forests, wandered around hong kong, drove down the highway at breakneck speeds....

yes, my "darling", the PS2. told'ja I had lots of plastic friends right? heck, I'm beginning to develop some sort of romantic relationship with my PS2. bleargh, guess one can only be that despo right?

actually no, just that the lightbulb needed changing, and basically my whole family heck-cared it, so its the PS2 and me, candlelight dinner with steak(flavoured instant noodles, amazing what people can come up with nowadays). $$$ poor, esp. since I lent $55 to Lockie and spent the rest on supplies. apprently my wallet hates me like how my PS2 loves me. PS2 never dies/hang/lag on me at the most crucial moments

and curse the freaking Turbokat. just demolished my F14 a few mins b4 I realized that I could just use the kit itself as a whole, argh.....

and btw, 374kmh on my favourite RX7. new speed record I guess.

2007-09-04T22:35:00.000+08:00

wah, $$$ have problems, argh overspend like the tap spoil like that.

today wasn't that bad, managed to learn that there's smthg called a saw, so i dun have to use a knife to cut my huge plastic pieces. no gundam lecture though, argh waste my time preparing.

Turbokat still a long, long way to go. heck, with the upcoming promos, dunno whether can finish my plane in time for the meet >_<

oh, dragged home 2 kits: Master Gundam and God Gundam. too bad no good hands, and the master gundam totally not value for $$$, unless you include the fact that it's the freaking master gundam you are talking about. the most sinister and evil badass gundam ever, heck just by looking at it standing still you know its evil.

2007-09-03T21:36:00.000+08:00

!!!!!

Reeve: hey, since both of ur know so much about Gundam, tues rem to come down, then can go teach them a bit about the gundam universe
Lockie: actually I dunno so much, he know more, like gundam prof like that *siam*
Reeve: then u go teach lor. rem to lecture on Zeon's history also
ME: until F91?
Reeve: anything lah, but more extensive better
ME: uh, the students like how one huh?
Reeve: [paraphrase]SEED Lunatics[/paraphrase]

ARGH!!!!!!! *breathe* ARGH!!!!!!

okay, relac a bit. its just 7 pple, and im going to just simply recap the whole of the UC timeline. yes, MSG/Z/ZZ/CCA/F91/V/MS Igloo/0080warinpocket/08thMSteam/Crossbone/StardustMemory shiok, minus the fact that I'm converting SEED Lunatics. bleargh, those who think Destiny is nice please go and choke on ur gunpla and die. YOU HEAR ME? CHOKE ON GUNPLA AND DIE!!! GUNPLA!!! DIE!!! (mecha designs also, unless its the MS that Shinn pilot, the Impulse and Destiny very nice design) SEED is okay, cuz now got Destiny as substitute ^ ^ for worst gundam anime ever.

so ya, mission for me: convert all of em over to the UC side, bwahahaha! but aye, why Zeon....

ME: Zeon? I tot we Renpou..... *see monoeyed MS all around* uh nvm.... Sieg Zeon...?

2007-09-02T21:59:00.000+08:00

argh, no enuff time to do all 3, left with zhang fei havent do.... nvm

as usual, tons of fucked-up NS life jokes, laugh until really peng. DEATH BY FRUIT BAR, BISCUIT AS S'PORE'S ULTIMATE WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!

saw Derrick having a freaking lot of problem with his scratchbuilt 4-legged gundam-armored core crossover. I wonder if I will face the same problem as him, hmm.... hopefully not

spirits of zeon with Lockie. hmm, long time nvr team up I guess. our teamwork went down the drain, with lots of miscommunications and shouting at each other. need to play more with him i guess, get back our teamwork

tues clubhouse open, MUST GO DOWN, else cannot finish my Turbokat.

2007-09-01T23:48:00.000+08:00

today damn bleedy fun!

1st went to DBG area, wanted a GP02A HGUC but got the "romance of the 3 kingdoms" BB senshi instead. Liu Bei Gundam, Zhang Fei Gundam, Guan Yu Gundam

afterwards expensive dinner at swensens with 119 phy pple. had a nice round of "the numbers game"

tml off to toa payoh again! time to work on my Turbokat even more, so can complete it by 18 nov, last day of sch

2007-08-31T21:50:00.000+08:00

woot! allowance day, time to start paying off some debts

just got a 1/144 F16 and a F15 (since no F14, a F15 is fine too)

argh, no cauldron T_T sian, have to get the lego one i tink

lockie building a F117, too bad nothing special, just pure black. bleargh.... talk about originality

2007-08-30T19:44:00.000+08:00

as the saying goes, tomorrow's always a better day! sch wasn't that bad, no chemi hmwk yeah. geog results quite good, minus the stupid file. hate filing, hate it to the core >_< completed tuning on my RX7 (again). also went to tweak the tuning for other races too (drag, streetX, etc) why tune? simple. tuning is like a way of communicating between u and ur car. eg. ur car is a little weak on acceleration, so you compromise by tuning a bit more on its acceleration. similarly, ur cornering isn't that good, so your car changes the way it attacks corners to suit ur style. together, after tuning, both driver and car will become a team.

bleargh, last min moar funds >_< oh well, pay day tml. lets check out the shopping list:

1x F16 1/144 scale
1x F14 1/144 scale
one cauldron. one freaking cauldron which i cant find. so much for my "how hard can finding a stupid cauldron get?" VERY!!!
3 sch collar pins. yes, not joking. i need the chains
a good set of paintbrush

hmm not bad, didn't miss anything out. could prob squeeze in a HGUC asshimar if $$$ looks good.

2007-08-29T20:58:00.000+08:00

rant post go!

1) argh, freaking dragged my instrument back home. yes, that stupid large piece of metal. prob 5-8kg.

2) stuck with $0.80 for 2 more days. 2 MOAR DAIZ!!!! great, looks like a few days of "ah boii, want to eat bee hoon?"

3) zzzz, request thread in some mecha forum for SWAT Kats pics kena locked by moderators. bleargh, 24 episodes how to find time to look thru each and everyone of em? 30 diff weapons over 24 episodes broken up into 3 parts. 30/(24x3) = 0.4167= 41.67% chance of some weapon that i need appearing in a 15min cut of the episode.

4) shit, over-file/sand my tomcat engines, now cannot fit w/o a 1cm large lobang. wtf, and the clear canopies all break. BOTH OF THEM! nahbeh, when that day not good for plamo, its not good for plamo. now have to buy a F16, AND a F14.

5) just knew that the geog population/malth theory hmwk i failed. hopefully my miraculous geog asshole results of my tests can help coverup

6) falling sick. prob due to a lack of gunpla. kk fine, and sleep. dunno whether can make it to fri, for that inter-class thing. most likely will take MC, then can recover by sat.

7) oh, did i mention that my physicals suck? going to throw away face on fri i guess, haiz. watch, as the amazing vick runs slower than a stationary frisbee!

8) damn, forget to save the tuning for my RX7 for drifting races, have to redo. argh!!!!

9) speaking of PS2, went to change game, nahbeh new game also cannot play. [censored] this world!!!

10) gundam shield-bag growing more and more lobangs. argh, dunno how to fix, and cant get replacement. sniff sniff, and only 6 in S'pore summore.....

when life sucks, life sucks to the fullest.

late for clubhouse cuz had to find pics of Turbokat's missiles. today is the car build meet, sia lah the car models all very the realistic, like real cars just smaller

finally started work on the Turbokat. began disecting one of my F-14s, shaping the nose and wing parts for future use, still deciding how to save the engines and cockpit.

didn't play lunchmoney today, and cant borrow it. bleargh. better luck next time eh?

2007-08-26T00:32:00.000+08:00

just found out that the 4 hobby point branches specialise in different stuffs.
Century Square (aka tampines) oxx[===> gunpla
Tiong Bahru Plaza (aka THE HQ, dun play play) oxx[===> military stuffs
Jurong Entertainment Centre (aka nvr go b4) oxx[===> cars and bikes.
Millienia Walk (aka the knnbccb spend one whole week still cannot find) oxx[===> supplies and mini figs

interesting concept.

anyway, today went to the Japanese School of Singapore, for their version of pasar malam, with Lockie. not bad, makan very very good. yakatori was so good i am nvr going to eat from any stupid S'pore stalls ever again, unless its Tori-Q. and they had some soda called Rum. yes darren, RUM. and like rum, addictive. downed a total of 4 botts in 1 hr, had to stop cause it cost $2 a pop. dang, 200ml summore.... I tell u, there must b smthg behind it, mayb from the 2 nukes or wad, there must b. confirm have. gunpla like that, makan also like that >_<

oh, and for the more horny boys, yea. lots of jap chio bu. + yukata, their traditional dress.

afterwards went to pasir ris for a quick arcade pit-stop. FUCK, one of the worst arcades I've been to. Spirits of Zeon machine the card reader spur, tell auntie, she fuck care. 3rd time then reply "sry bo maintenance staff". argh..... came just for that 1 game, and cant play. its like..... a smoker have a lot of cigarettes but no lighter.

ok, u win. play house of dead 4. gun off-center slightly lower can understand, but nahbeh, grenade button spoil, wad kind of fuck place is this!? walk over to max tune 3 machine, almost want to play, but heng pple tell me GEAR and BRAKE SPOIL! likethat how to drive!?

never go to pasir ris arcade. ever.

2007-08-23T19:19:00.000+08:00

nothing much these few days.

argh, chemistry still a very lousy U grade, bleh. oh well, right now concentrating on physics, aiming to get full for all class tests and B for major tests. geog, just do my best. maths, bleh..... see my sec sch results, i tink this one is a bit tricky, mayb go back to old style of "final week cheong from wake up to slp for 7 days straight".

$$$ almost gone, confirm not enuff to buy gunpla within this couple of weeks. argh..... at least supplies all here.

oh, remind me to borrow the lunchmoney card game. wanna share with class ^ ^

back to racing around the highway, mazda zoom zoom!

2007-08-20T22:07:00.000+08:00

SUNDAY

wah, didn't went to the clubhouse, woke up too late. no one at home, WOOT! BRING OUT THE PS2!!!

yep, pure bonding time all the way until bedtime. one game only : need for speed underground 2. finally got the RX8, my 2nd favourite car. (fav car hint: mazda rotary engine)

so its time to zhng it to the max! but no exteriors plz, i love my cars as stockish as possible, unless it looks nicer with zhng. eg. carbon fibre spoilers.

just discovered a major flaw in the RX8. it handles perfectly, doesn't put up any resistance when given orders, follows exactly what you tell it to do. BUT once you hit a certain limit, eg. 280kmh or a drift that sends it more than 120 degrees, its gone. whole thing goes haywire.

oh, and learned smthg very impt, which i clarified with my american acquaintances. FR (rear wheel drive) cars can drift, but FF (front wheel drive) cars cannot drift. this I know. therefore, you have to learn this thing called trail braking. yes, wtf. you basically hold brake and accelerator while going through the whole curve. DO NOT BRING IT TO A DRIFT. therefore, FF cars cannot drift, FR cars cannot trail brake. 4WD can do both, but very difficult and not as good.

TODAY

wah, shyt cannot do chemistry at all, stress stress trying to finish it asap so can meet deadline. managed to hand it in b4 teacher collect.

darren came my place, check out my gunpla zoo. long time nvr hear pple go "that's insane man!", damn bleedy shiok.

hmm, mayb tml going DBG again, find more 1/144 planes, namely a F16, so can build my turbokat.

btw some suggestions i got were weird.

me: how to cut?
lockie: saw lor. use knife or wad, just saw and whack until break out lor
me: uh... thanks....

2007-08-18T18:42:00.000+08:00

FRIDAY

bleargh, for some reason i can't seem to make my brain work. couldn't think properly, in fact i cant even actually do the stupid physics hmwk w/o a lot of guidance from jj and chua. only 3 formulas exists, i need to just plug in one, i got my 1st and 2nd tries wrong. and i even deleted the ans for one whole qn cuz i tot i read wrongly, then jj tell me it was correct, i read wrongly twice. A big thank you to jj and chua, really appreciate the help.

took darren to sunshine plaza to find a good gunpla for him. lol, gunpla building is contagious. 1st kiat lee now darren, who's next?

reached, turned out the shop closed. bleh. change operating time how come i dunno? so end up went to teh arcade play spirit of zeon, too long nvr play, can only reach 3rd stage boss. at least managed to pass the 45sec escape part.

TODAY

SSSP sucks! for today anyway. brought along a gunpla, didn't even touched it. instead, it was some fun time with darren's psp!

armored core not bad, in fact has all the parts from my ps2 ac nexus without the unlocking part, and a bit more. controls were..... very very weird, totally different from my ps2 version. needless to say, pwn3d

next game, ZvA portable! managed to show off a bit, despite having a stressful time with the sword strike gundam. with that tool, SSSP passed very quickly.

reached home, bonding time with PS2! need for speed underground 2 the whole day, so addictive, cant really put down the controller.

tml going off to the clubhouse, wonder what to do there...

2007-08-16T21:02:00.000+08:00

argh, financial crisis! overspent on too much stuff >_< and i havent get that F-16 yet, argh.... oh ya, have to go dig out my wrecked MiG 29 from the depths of the storeroom, havent touched those dusty oxidized remants of my primary sch life since.... primary sch?

spent a lot of fun time bonding with my PS2. just me, my PS2, 8pm at night, romantic spot under the moonlight, mashing buttons and hitting analog sticks together. <3

well, mainly playing need for speed underground. not bad, finally got used to the game physics. totally different feel from the other NFS series i have to say, more emphasis on traffic dodging than anything else. which translates to..... FUN! esp. with 10 trucks in one single stupid 1 lane curve.

in other news, recently borrowed this book from YJC library, "the square root of 2". yep, whole book is just talking about the "square root of 2". no, i've not gone insane, just that its actually a very interesting book, must read just for the fun of it.

lately gotten sudden headaches from time to time. its just like me, doing normal stuff then..... ARGH!!!! then back to normal. just a second in duration, but really kills off good ideas when i happen to be thinking of something. it's like "hey, i got an.... ARGH!!!....damnit i forgot my idea"

2007-08-13T21:26:00.000+08:00

2007-08-13T21:09:00.000+08:00

wow, today sure is a weird day.

1st things 1st, today is the birthday of a certain girl i used to like and admire during my secondary sch days. damnit, 4 full years, and still counting. this is seriously one emotional luggage i would like to throw away >_< esp. since she isn't interested in me, and im not exactly shocked anyway, who would want a mecha idiot as her boyfriend.

ah well, almost went to get a present. i stress the word almost. luckily my "logical" part came in just when i started queueing, else my "impulsive" side would leave me $30 poorer and dissappointed as well, just like last year. sigh, youngsters nowadays acting on impulse neh mind, worse is nvr think thru. she dun like means dun like, irregardless of wadever shyt u do.

sigh, suck at relationships. wouldn't b surprised if i end up single for the rest of my life. hey, that's not really bad anyway, much more freedom and more space for future gunpla ^ ^

then sch. wah, some SAF Colonel came for a talk, argh..... last min then rem my qn, but end liao, zzz. else i can finally figure out why S'pore get the F15 to replace the F16.

ah, and mr garnish is his usual self.

sian, no physics, cant get back test paper. finally one YJC paper which i really have some confidence in getting perfect, very kan cheong liao, quick gimigimi!

went with kiat lee and wen ren to get some games. finally found NFS underground 2, hopefully it will be a good game.

2007-08-12T20:27:00.000+08:00

what a great day!

woke up, look at time. gosh, 10am, going to be late. went about crawling through the gundam forums, and finally decided to patch up that huge lobang in my shield. looks so much better now. As a precaution, also gave the other side some stitches just in case.

then off I go, to the clubhouse! not used to toa payoh area, end up walking around like a kuku for 30min. finally found my way there, by sheer luck. was so close to flagging a taxi.

reached, shyt didn't bring my incomplete NDP gundam >_< good also lah, later they see the melted head, macham mati, lagi worse. tried the chicken rice at the coffeeshop just outside the clubhouse, wah see beh shiok, too bad the chilli sucks so badly. It has some weird thinner and chemical smell in it, urgh.... then since no gunpla, went ahead with the hmwk i brought. pretty much finished and heck care-d thru most of it, then revised some physics. learned some things about the engineering world from the adults, DUN EVER TAKE ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, U WILL DIE!!! or at least be content with 1.5k monthly. then discussed our plans for the aircraft meet. ah well, since my 1st time, decide to do something less challenging, like i dunno, scratchbuild the Turbokat from the cartoon SWAT Kats.

http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/pepsikopi/?action=view&current=turbokat2.jpg

yeah I know. mati liao lor. I have 2 choices. 1: go and use parts from existing planes. this translates to:

F-117 stealth fighter bottom for basic body shape
F-14 tomcat for front fuselage
F-16 fighting falcon for middle engine
F/A-18 hornet for nose
F-15 eagle for 2 main engines
I dunno, F-1 racing cars for engine intake? or use gunpla ones, see how
F-111 aardvark for wings

yep, check out that shopping list. and if i make a mistake with any part, have to go and buy again.

thus, the 2nd option is the only one feasable enough: got and build the damn thing from plastic sheets, with a F-14 and F-16 for the engines. so much for not challenging.

ah well, rest of day was pretty fun, just messing around and chit-chatting, blah blah, went home at 7pm, pretty shiok day.

minus the headache from the Turbokat. NAHBEH WHERE TO FIND, HOW TO BUILD!?

2007-08-11T14:13:00.000+08:00

bleargh..... suffering from an overdose of holiday and modelkits....

N day itself, Lockie came at quite an early time. 12 noon exact. Actually we were supposed to build our "Limited Edition Celebration Colours Gundam" kit together, but that can wait. first, there's more important things to do....

A FEW ROUNDS OF ZvG!!! bring out the PS2, and grab ur controller. this is pretty much a must every meeting, else we won't know who's better ^ ^ kinda like some ancient chinese martial arts drama between rivals.

Lockie: bwahaha, my crouching zaku hidden hizack will destroy your pitiful mecha
Me: oh yeah? my barzam-reverse-saber stance is the coolest melee in the game.
*clang clang*
Lockie: ur good! but I'm better, my super gundam's long rifle's beam will block out the sun! or at least the ceiling light.
Me: your MS can go and suck my MS for all i care, I have 6 u have 3, check out my "snowing cannon" move!
*clang clang*

well, needless to say, we're evenly tied, except when playing random. today's luck not good....

then afterwards, makan! then watch NDP. laughed very very hard at the water thing, and the "sushi buffet" performance. This year's NDP is too entertaining, not like the previous ones. might be a change in idea i guess.

then back to business. hobby knife pwns all other tools, too bad I dun have the $$$ to get such a good one. then went to panel line the head, alamak! want to erase, tried all sorts of funny funny stuff since we dunno what the gundam marker ink is based on, water oil or enamel. tried soap + water, lighter fluid, no use. went to find thinner, but ended up using nail polish remover, also no use. worse still, my plastic melted O_o

argh.... use hobby knife slice away top layer, now my that head bo lines, look so botak >_< yuck... decided to put some lines of my own, not that bad but could be better... buaytahan, heck care, use mechnical pencil for lining, end up effect quite nice.

didn't manage to finish the kit, went to bed.

NEXT DAY

wake up, immediately went for some hot ZvA2+ action. played the infinite enemies stage. Like a true Singaporean, Lockie chose the "tried and tested, confirm can get bleedy good" strike noir. being me, I took one which I'm confortable with and can also tahan the stress I'm going to throw at it, the Destiny.

so off we go! 1st round not bad, reached 50. we tried some stragedies and etc for the 2nd round, cuz we kept hitting one another. effect: 30. sucks. 3rd round heck care, u do wad u want, I do wad i want, kena friendly fire just say sry and move on. effect: 80+. and our teamwork so much better, weird. best still, i'm down to 7hp and managed to survive 30 enemies. not bad....

then off to bugis to meet up with the Scallops regulars. heng nvr bring my kit, Lockie kena swan and shoot by the regulars.

then went around the area, makan chit-chat, find modelkits and supplies, blah blah.... all the way until 10pm. see beh shiok.

2007-08-08T21:57:00.000+08:00

hmm, boring unexciting stuff these 2 days. didn't go for class outing overseas (Sentosa) cuz.... well, guess my previous "law of Vick-y" still stands : No Gunpla, No Want. no wonder pple jio me go bugis or Dhoby Gault area i always 1st to say yes one >_<

so that's that..... went home and decide wad to do. argh, Lockie not free, no one else free, arcade? bleh saving $$$ for gunpla, left with nothing else but my sis com and my trusted ps2

fine, went to watch the remaining few episodes of swat kats which i havent watch yet, and a bit of mrbrown. ARGH! swat kats only until epi 24 then bo liao, sian...... oh well, can decide to go and do a Turbokat modelkit, go and mix F14 with F16.....

then that's done, back to com. surf surf the gundam forums a bit, not much new updates, and argh.... my Jegan 1/144 which i have been waiting for 7mths, now out of stock again >_< internetz shopping vs credit card avaliability.....sigh.... wait until i become adult, then i heck care, open my own gunpla shop, bwahahaha, nothing for sale, all mine

tried to cook instant noodle, forgot kitchen bo gas, end up try using hot water, become soggy mamme monster snacks....

so, its time for some man-n-machine bonding time with the PS2. tried a bit of Ace Combat 5, found out F14s dun get along well with skyscrapers >_<

then some Armored Core stuff, made a few for fun ACs and just got thrashed by the com. badly.

sick of it, went back to NFSCarbon, actually bo liao until go and hello kitty ALL MY CARS, including that 2 lamborghinis, yes. dunno heng or sian, forgot to save

argh, still 6pm only..... time to do childish stuff! bring out most of my gunpla, rummage my "old toys" from the storeroom which I dunno y nvr throw away, then toss a few lego trees and plastic soldiers here and there, volia! real-life C&C style game.

so ya, thats how sian today is. oh well, tml building the "National Day Celebration" Gundam with Lockie, and meeting up with a super long-time nvr see good friend. shld b much better than today

EDIT: nahbeh, y nvr thought about doing hmwk?, oh well, back to play..... *laser piu piu!*

of model kits and snatchthief

2007-08-05T23:54:00.000+08:00

pretty eventful weekend....

Saturday

went for SSSP (wah now got one more S seh.... Super Special Saturday Party! upgrade liao lor!)

this is the 1st SSSP i really felt like doing nothing hmwk related. brought a gunpla to fix after finishing some hmwk *as usual* Of all gunpla, i had to bring a Hizack, argh..... lousiest kit IMHO, but still, its a gunpla....

finish SSSP, went with Joseph for his church thing. Just realized that its the same church thing Lockie always pull me to in the distant past (Lockie=my cousin)

as expected, the "wanna be a christian" qn pops up at the end. sorry guys, but I'm a mecha otaku. no harm/swuaning/hatred/anything negative intended, but I only acknowledge Ideon as a being of higher existence and God Gundam as its messenger. actually, its really just i prefer to be a free thinker/science+logic person lah, cuz personally i cannot agree to any religion as i always find some parts i dun totally agree with lor....

after that, hit the arcades at DBG, defeated that gundam game with Lockie, meet some Scallops regulars, then rush to Tampines to buy my gunpla.

Sunday

went to Toa Payoh to the "clubhouse", where we Scallops regulars hang out. (Scallops = Caleb's, the gunpla shop which closed down. one of the regulars set up a shophouse where we can hang out, but only open on sunday. lol, can say its the church of gunpla and plamo)

forget clear bag, end up bring my half-assed disaster of a Hizack. "Not bad lah, but.... u nvr sand, here nvr cut properly, here seemlines, there got lobang dunno why, nvr panel line, nvr remove flash, sticker slightly sengneh, plastic got scratches, polycaps nvr put properly...."

yep, those guys are pros.... heck, they could just build and sell modelkits and make a living out of it, but no..... they had to all be some manager in some company.....

Johnny brought an interesting game. "LunchMoney", see beh fun game. i try to borrow, see if can play with 119 pple. up to many many players also can

fun game, until 2 foreign workers came, snatch handphone and ran. cuz we were playing outside the shop, and we used our handphones as paperweights and calculators, so can say is easy target. they took 2 (heng not mine), we chase, they drop 1

so ya lah, police case liao lor.... a few days later have to do photo identikit and all those stuff. scarly can see the case on crimewatch.

so ya, plz take good care of ur stuff, and dun bring ur worst work to meet professionals

hello kitty + street racing

2007-08-03T23:02:00.000+08:00

heh heh, decided to resurrect my long dead blog from my sec sch days, and edit a bit to make it newer. can say is kena influenced by classmates lah, but it offers a good place to share your life experiences

anyway, today supposed to go tampines get a box of rare gunpla which i have been eyeing for some time. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN926793 . tried to pontang the stupid rehearsal, but last min caught by teacher, so nvm lor, plan monday then go. today's rehearsal not bad, everything very smooth, not much cockups on the band's side.

and as you know Garnish loves to make people unhappy. "Monday we will have rehearsal again, same time as today *ie. until 7.30pm*"

great.... by the time i can go buy, kena bought by others liao lor. oh, and saw kiat lee kena catch by Garnish for "not sediah-ing when college song is played (7 times total) by the band". funny sia his face, like when a pet do smthg naughty and have that cute, innocent face. too bad never take picture.

back home, played a bit of need for speed carbon. made a pink hello kitty car just for fun (actually i hate that car, but i prefer not to admit). spent 1 full hr trying to get the circles into the correct shape and position, too bad no triangle ears, so look a bit like pasar-malam sticker that quality. anyway, very shiok to drive. its like, imagine you're the opponent. "I am driving around in my big, fierce, dragon-tatoo subaru and i got overtaken by a hello kitty car" rofl, now to try to get some friends, win them using hello kitty car....

then Armored Core time! load disc, go main menu, feel sian, change game, drive hello kitty car. oh noes, im becoming less mech-freak and more..... hello kitty fan!? yeck....

any suggestions for stupid car designs just throw into the Chatbox, tried to make a SMRT Subaru taxi, but too bad no alphabets.
