319# 1/100 GN 001 Gundam Exia - Part 1

319# 1/100 GN001 Gundam Exia - Part 1

Intro of info

Really, sometimes i should just stop reading reviews about the recent model kit.

From somewhere over the internet, i was linked to this page.

The blog is kind of cool where the modeller shows parts of the model kits to modify and comparisons with respect to something... etc.

I had no intention to buy the 1/100 exia at all since soon or later it's going to be released in MG format. But heck, from the review i learnt that this 1/100 scale model has so much of improvement and it's even approaching MG level!

In the end, after the lecture at 6.30pm...





I went to buy it...

Since it's just a 1/100 scale model instead of an MG, therefore the price is also lower, at 2,300 yen. Supposedly RM70. But of course we must bear the tax, transport fee from japan and the profit from the seller need to earn, i bought it for 2,682 yen, which is still reasonable.

Saw somewhere selling it at 3,206 yen. That's too high for me.





There's no stress at all building an ungraded model. Unlike the MG models, a lot of parts are made for its complexity.

But somehow, this 1/100 model is approaching the MG format models in the sense of its proportion, outlook and posibility.

Of course, i got to know all these only after reading the review. Realyl shouldn't have read them. Evil.





10 frames only in total.

Unlike the MG models where the frames are bigger, more parts, and could have up to 20 frames in total.

I guess i'm able to finish building it in one night. But only the straight build only though. Since i do panel lining and markering (if necessary) along the way of building, guess i can't finish it by tonight.

Because it's already 10.33pm right now...





I was wondering how could be light blue parts be in this model.

Surprisingly those parts are made by TPF rubber. Not bad though, only rubber i came across in the model kit are the polycaps, which made from PC rubber.

This TPF rubber is softer and lighter than the PC rubber by the way. Of course, it doesn't need the strenght unlike the PC rubber situated for the joints.





Manual and an extra piece of paper with the prototype of exia.

Dengki hobby magazine Febuary issue of 2008 is giving the parts for the HG 1/144 exia to convert it into this prototype model.

Sounds cool. A must buy issue for sure. Once i get it, only i will consider to get the HG or not. Because i already have the 1/100 right now. Plus most likely exia will be released in MG format.

In the end, i'd be having 3 different grades and 2 different scales of exia!



PS: Renal system is gone. Not studying.

318# Salt for your kidneys

318# Salt for your kidneys


Sorry to say, but i can't describe how much i dislike the current canteen in the uni.

Now we have only one canteen in the uni since the chinese and the malay ones left. No more option for the students to choose in between chinese food or malay food.

Anyway the current canteen have all kind of food provided, which is supposed to be a good news for everyone. But for me, i don't find it any better than the previous ones.



Kean seng's left hand insisted to be in the part of the picture.


Last friday i bought the chee cheong fun from the canteen.

Blardy hell, from Rm0.50 per piece the price goes 120% up into RM0.60 per piece.

I paid RM1.80 for 3 pieces and hoped to enjoy my tea break with the hot nescafe kao before the lecture starts.





But too bad it was too salty.

I'm not sure whether is the sauce or the chee cheong fun itself. But i just couldn't take it.

We are studying the renal system currently, which partly deal about how our kidney work to maintain and eliminate the salt in our body.

All the mechanisms appeared in my mind that moment, told me not to eat food which are too salty.





But hey, i have paid RM1.80 for it.

Even though Rm1.80 is just a small amount of money, but i shall not waste the food because there are millions to billions of them dying of starvation out there.

This super salty chee cheong can only be respected if it was born over there.





The chee cheong fun had my respect.

I had nothing to eat other than that, therefore i decided to reduce the salt content of the chee cheong fun by rinsing it. Even though thuan tzen asked me to leave it just like that. But no, i shall not let the chee cheong fun die without fulfilling its commitment.

The sky juice is free of charge in the canteen (which is the only good thing i found from the canteen) and it was fresh boiled hot at that time, which able to warm my chee cheong fun at the same time.





I could only eat it after i got rid of the salty sause by rinsing it.

I didn't finish the whole plate in the end. Only managed to eat 80% of the whole thing. Just feel that what i did was kind of stupid.

I know you feel it so.





From a glass of clear plain water it turned to be a glass of suet cha, which sendimentation.

This is what i would get if i forced myself to eat it with the sauce.

Imagine how much salt in there, how much of water i would need to drink in order to balance up the water content in my blood, and how freaking hard my kidneys are going to work in order to excrete them.





I nearly took the chee cheong salty cup to drink it instead of my nescafe. That was really close.

Bad public relationship, bad pricing, bad food, bad maths.

I can't say anything more than that.



PS: If one day you find the chee cheong fun ok, tell me. I give myself a second chance to try again.

This week could be the week where i attended the most times of birthdays in my life.

Went for Naomi's one on last saturday as the previous one mentioned, and there's another one on sunday.

But this one is a little bit different, don't have to travel too far away since it was just at a friend's house.





This cake from Beryl's look funky. The chocolate topping looks like noodles where i nearly get some to eat with my chopsticks.

I'm not sure whether the flowers and leaves are edible or not. Someone tried it and it was tasteless. Plastic?





Happy 21st Darren.

I called Chan to buy a cake there since we have no time to get anything for him. It's quite cool to have 2 cakes to cut with on your birthday.

I just remembered that i actually cut a cake last year, with my face slammed onto the cake.





I took a break on Monday, and tuesday there was another friend's birthday.

Kelf has just turned 21, too.

No fancy party or funky cake, we just went to OUG for a dinner.





Kelf, Harry, Toilet, Roney, Kien Wei, Tks, Chan, Tucky and me.

When 9 of us put together, the only word you can think with could possibly be "DoTA".

But hey, i have quited playing as well as Chan. We played only once during Reproduction system. Now we bertaubat already.





A break on Wednesday, and Thursday, which is today, Roney turned 21 too.

A few of us went Mid valley to celebrate his birthday.

A very hearty meal we had, and this time we have a very funky cake.





Precious moment. Kind of hard to capture a picture when someone is cutting a cake with a smile, for my phone...

Sweet.

Actually i knew that the trick of "going out to buy something" for sure was to get a cake in fact, but hey, how could you celebrate a birthday without a cake?

Oh yeah, i did this year.





Although the ice cream cake was small, but it was harder than you could ever imagine.

Actually we should have took it out from the box to thaw it for a while before cutting it.

Tucky was trying hard to cut the cake into pieces for us. But using the knife in the restaurant wasn't really a good idea...





Because it will break somehow.

No, not the body of the knife itself, but the handle of the knife.

This shows how well dry ices in the box can freeze the cake well.





During the way back, i was kind of rush and i missed the exit to seremban from the car park. I ended up heading to bangsar.

Had an adventure in the car looking for direction for about 1 hour, and we reached subang. Actually i could use the LDP way back to imu to drop roney and kien wei off, but i choosed the kesas way which is more secure. Had to pass 2 Kesas toll though.

Took me 2 hours to reach home. Tired.




I guess there's no more birthdays anymore right? Lol.

Happy birthday to all of you all.

316# Naomi 20

316# Naomi 20


Just got back from Sunway Hotel for Naomi's birthday. It's too late for a horror movie (haunted by Fobbiden Siren last night) therefore i decided to write this as a dedication to our comedy queen.

This is supposed to be a surprised party for her, organised by yum yao. But thanks to Noris who didn't aware of the situation, sms-ed her to apologize saying that he couldn't show up for her birthday party.

No more surprise, gone...



Mike customised ice cream type II - Vanilla chocolate chip + strawberry ice cream. Topped with chocolate chips, strawberrries, chocolate from the chocolate fountain and some berry syrup. Type I was given to tks.


I didn't know that the Sunway Tower Hotel and this hotel are two different building. I parked at the tower and realised that i was at the wrong building.

Luckily it wasn't too far away, just a walking distance to the hotel from the outside.





7.15pm i reached, some of them were already there waiting for the signal to hunt.

Quite a lot of us went, 31 people in total, too long to list.

We took 3 rolls of tables, nearly occupied the whole corner of the restaurant.





50% off for a buffet in Sunway Hotel was a good ideal. We paid less than Rm50 for the buffet which was quite not bad.

Standard buffet food expected, need not to mention.

But the variety is kind of little with respect to the amount of money people paying over there.





Anyway, there's only this much of food you can take in at one time, no point if you have unlimited types of food waiting for you. Example, Jogoya.

Seafood lasagna, teppanyaki, kebab roll... For me, these few stand out. Pretty delicious then the rest.





Yum Yao distributed these party hats to us to mess around.

You can wear it wherever, and however you want.

I wore 2 at a time on my chest, too bad i don't have the photo with me.





These three fellas really like to do funny poses. Can't expect the serious Han ying is in fact a person who likes to pose around.

The moment i took this picture, the image reminded me of something.

I took a picture of 3 of them together before.





Huh, May of this year we went to Mid valley and we had lunch in Dominos.

I actually took a picture of them where Han Ying's pose really pwned.

But actually she can do better than that.





Rabbit with horn.

Oh yeah.



They were playing a card game named "Bridge", which i could only barely get some idea. But never mind, will try to learn during our hospital posting at Kuala Kubu Bharu soon.





Chingli abusing the food.

See, some of us really wearing the hat even when we were eating.

I wore it out to take food as well on the back of my head.





A few of them came late, about 8 something or 9 because they were having a basketball match at semenyih.

Heard that got pwned by some international player who can slam dunk with both hands and swing on the ring.

They looked totally exhausted. The amount of food they took to recharge the aftermatch energy really freaked me out.





I didn't bring my camera there because i'm just plain lazy. I would like to be in photos instead of being a cameraman, too tired of it.

So sorry if i have sabotage you all in taking photos. I know i did. No offense but i just like to disturb for fun.

James threatened me not to post his photos on M106 blog with my ass-showing gay picture in his camera. Oh well, we all posed gay-ly so i think it doesn't matter.

Since i can't pose his picture on the M106 blog, but i can still do it here.





Here you go James, muahaha...

Regardless the poor quality of this picture, Naomi's big exophatalmus eyes are still very visible.

11.11pm (not exactly), cake cutting session.

Zher lin did a very good performance by singing a chinese song to Naomi. That was really sweet.

And the electricity got cut off once he finished singing the song...





2 big and 1 small candle, mistake. She claimed that she's 20, not 21.

I don't understand why everytime when i try to take pictures of people cutting cake, tks will sure be in the picture. I think this is more than just coincidental... lol.


Happy birthday Naomi. And... Get a boy friend soon. LOL.
