338# Nobody's listening


Sometimes it's a real headache of having destructive visitors.

You can't tell them in such a way that...


"Hey, your children are so powerful, would you mind having them in your house before you come to mine?"

or

"Hey thanks for not stepping into my room and thanks for not destroying my belongings which you are not going to pay me back.
"

No matter how much you hate those kids, or people, they will still go to you, every year.

And each of every year, something is meant to be broken.





When we found out that our "relatives" were about to visit us, we panicked.

My youngest sister locked the piano and the rooms. I ran to my room and stay in there to ensure no one walks in and touch my guitar and my models.

Just one hand is enough to push my glass cabinet down and kills thousand and thousands worth of models.





When they left, i went down to the living room to play pingpong with my other cousins.

I heard my sister crying.

And i found out that there was a freaking hole at the piano's cover.

She locked it. My dad warned them. He stopped them for 4 times from opening the cover.

The kids couldn't open it, when no one was guarding the piano, the 2 year old kid used his force and opened the locked cover.

The lid came out, leaving a freaking big scratch hole on there.



I was in my room what it all happened. If i were there, and if that happens in front of me, i wouldn't care much and i would farking scold and slap that kid in front of his parents with my full force. Would farking scold kao the parents as well because we had farking warned kao them.

I already have master grades worth more than half a thousand gone because of a friend, and i won't want these kind of shit to happen again.



A piece of shit...

337# 1/100 Gundam Dynames

337# 1/100 Gundam Dynames


I've fixed this long time ago but i didn't bother to write anything about it due to the tmnet streamyx problem (since when they don't have a problem?).

I think this model kit deserves a review therefore i'm writing one for it now.

Being a 2,300 yen kit, i have no idea why did i buy it with RM83. Could be cheaper than that i think.





Posterior view. Why are the thrusters on its buttock? Damn ugly. But whatever...

By the way, the beam sabers are mounted at the side of these thrusters.





The V-fin can be pulled down to reveal the "hidden camera" (oh yeah yeah) of higher sensitivity behind it. Used for precise sniping purpose.

Anyway, I didn't bother to use the stickers given but simply paint it with metallic grey instead.

Before i forget, i've to say that this kit requires quite a lot of painting. Grey is the most used color in painting it. Red color is needed in painting the square parts at the V fin too.





Similar with the 1/100 Gundam Exia, almost all weapons of Gundam Dynames are given in this kit.

GN full shield, GN sniper rifle, GN beam pistols and as well as the beam sabers which Lockon Stratos refused to used are included.

It may look cool with the GN full shield, but the price to pay is already under my prediction.

The weight of the shield may pull down the shoulder, and in the end that particular joint may be loosen. And that already happened...





Therefore sometimes the full shield should be taken off and let it rest for a while.

Although this may take away the visual coolness of Dynames, but it allows the vision to be focused on the mobile suit itself.





GN beam rifle could be one of the coolest rifle i have ever fixed. It's rather easy to fix with since it's just a 1/100 scale model, but the rifle's details are fully expressed in this kit.

Besides, it isn't too heavy therefore there is not much of problem in posing with it.





Sniper mode, the so called.

It's rather stiff i'd say. But it can really pose in such a way so it still worth a complement.





GN beam pistols. Having two pistols really reminds me of Strike Noir gundam. Pistols are stored at the lateral side of the calfs when not used.

However, i still think that Strike Noir looks cooler in pistols.





I think most of the people know how does the beam saber looks like, so i'm just going to skip it.

Conclusion, highly detailed, highly posable and highly recommended. Most of the people prefer Dynames than Exia though.

Still waiting to get the Kyrios. Virtue/Nahleeh is coming out this late March, and then my GN line of Celestial Being can be completed.





That's it.

Happy Chinese New Year.

336# KKb 2


Can't believe i still have to update this site to keep it runnning by using the half assed computer facility in the university.

Just came back from KKB (kuala kubu bharu aka kuku baru) hospital posting yesterday. Something different from last year, this time some of us drove there for the sake of the convenience (otherwise, actually).

It was easier for me to get to kkb from my place straight using NKVE, but anyway, i still have to go bukit jalil since we all need to follow the bus.






The drive was insane because we kept lost track of the bus due to the traffic lights. Plus the bus drove quite fast actually.

My underpowered 1.6L pathetic little rear wheel drive car could not catch up with the convoy. But thanks to the skills to compensate, i managed to stick to the cars without getting lost...





One of the three advantages of driving there (with 821 other disadvantages, somehow) is that i manage to bring whatever that i want, just stuff all of them into the car. Therefore i brought 2 pillows, 1 blanket and a bedsheet there.

I didn't sleep for all 3 nights over there last year. But this time i managed to sleep for 2 nights out of the three, there the first night i was too excited (?) and the tea that i drank kept me awake the whole night.





Going to the hospital is the "sien" part of kkb, my friend said.


The whole point of the kkb posting is the night, where everyone camp at the guy's hostel to play. Mahjong, cards, mafia...

I play none of them since i'd appreciate sleeping than playing.

Anyway, i managed to learn an acoustic guitar song from kin chern with his acoustic guitar that he brought.

I rarely play the acoustic guitar and i can't even pluck. It's not too bad to play acoustic songs actually. Maybe i'm just being tired of playing metal music with my electric guitar.





3 days of posting in the hospital. Didn't get much interesting cases.

I've got cases like mild stroke, acute glomerular nephritis and antenatal, postnatal cases. I found the renal disease was the most interesting case that i got among the rest. Maybe that was the first time i got that case.




I didn't go to the waterfall last year because we traveled without the cars. Now this time we have 5 cars and we convoyed to the waterfall near our place

The drive was cool as well as the scenaries along the way. It was the first time i drive at such kind of road with such speed. They were too fast and i found it hard to follow with 5 other people in my car.



Everyone was looking how aditya fell.

A bit regret that i didn't bring clothes and towel to the waterfall, because some of them did and they went into the water.

I have been to somewhere tougher than this and i think i could actually enjoy the water there. Too bad, should be bring some clothes to exchange to there.

Did they all pissed in the water? I hope no...




Another highlight of the posting was the bbq. The lamb chop was the greatest where i ate a lot after everyone was full and there were a lot of them there for us to finish.

First bbq i had ever where we started since 7.30pm until 1.30am.

Hope everyone was full.





Don't really bother to write about the posting, i think i wrote more on what we did outside the hospital.

To be honest, i'm not happy with this posting.

We had double of joy as compared to last year, but the farked up things happened in turn was thousand fold.


Most used words through of the 4 days:

5. Diu lo
4. fark, man
3. ke ling
2. Kin chern
1. cibai



Thank you!

Finally... i get to update here.

I was having a hard time logging into blogger using the library's computers. After days of trying, now i've found one computer which can login.

Or was it because of firefox's problem? IE seems to be ok.

Again, another gunpla related post. 2 weeks ago me and my friend went to IKEA to get two glass cabinets (and a coffee table) which i wanted long time ago.

I could only buy these after i shifted, because my previous room was too small to accommodate them.




Click for full res.


I didn't plan to buy two of them but one instead last time. But i guess i don't have a choice because my collection grows faster than i thought.

And now i feel that two glass cabinets are not enough, i feel like having four of them.



MG Strike Freedom Gundam - Full Burst Mode version (wing mechanism's spoilt by a friend)


Of course i can't buy four at one shot. Two is enough for the moment i guess.

Since the spaces available is limited, it can't seem to fit all my collection into it.

There are still some of them left in the box or in the book shelf.

1 1/100, 4 HG 1/144, 1/144, 9 SDs, 3 Revoltechs...

18 items are not displayed in the cabinet, only 19 items are displayed.



MG Destiny Gundam - Extreme Blast Mode version

Space of each compartment is kind of restricted too if a model has a big wing or backpack. I can't fit the Wings of Light of this Destiny Gundam and i have to kept them in the box and display it without it.

Once if i spread their wings open, each compartment can only able to fit one at a time...



MG Unicorn Gundam and MG Hi Nu Gundam


The Hi Nu's stand is broken, thanks to the same friend who broke my Strike Freedom. Therefore i had to buy another stand for it. This friend is smart where he broke both of my most expensive master grades and he never pay me back. He still owe me RM505.

Unicorn Gundam was quit disappointing because of its limited articulation. That isn't a big problem to me, but the biggest problem is the shoulder armor - i can't seem to fix them tightly. Still waiting for help from those who have bought one, if there's any.




MG Strike Noir Gundam and MG Strike Gundam + I.W.S.P. unit.


The GAT 105 frames share nearly the same frame but they are entire different with the armors and weapons. Noir is good in air poses but the I.W.S.P unit at Strike is a big pain in the ass.

The weight of it will pull Strike's waist down. It can't seem to stand by its own and a stand is required for it. it comes with normal stand but it would break its back armor, so i had to buy another stand for it.



MG Freedom


I didn't plan to buy this master grade until another friend of mine bought it, and i bought it too together with him.

It looks better than its previous release in the format of HG and 1/100. The wings are so massive until i have to put it sideways so that it could be fitted into the compartment.



1/100 Gundam Exia and 1/100 Gundam Dynames


Still waiting for the Gundam Kyrios and Gundam Virtue, then my 1/100 line up for Celestial Being mobile suits will be complete (ignoring the thrones).

They are very well done being a 1/100 scale model. Their details and articulations are even better than early master grade models. The only downside is their joint stability, they are not tight enough and may lose after a period of time like those other 1/100 scale models.



1/100 Legend Gundam and 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame.


I didn't display the Blue Frame Second L because its joints are so loosen until it can't make a good pose. I'll only repair it when i free and if i'm capable too.

Red Frame's left hand and its rifle are broken, said case.

The Legend Gundam is pretty much cool being a 1/100 scale model because of its details. But too bad it can't be placed on higher compartments with the Destiny Gundam or Strike Freedom Gundam due to limited space.



Revoltechs.

Mass Production eva, the limited version was well kept in the box as well as the newest eva 03 that i bought on October of last year. Didn't bother to take them out to display and just let them be in it, would be better in such a way.

The rest are displayed after being kept in the boxes for months. But 3 more boxes are in the book shelf and not displayed though.


So this is basically what i have collected so far (as well as those other 18 items which are not displayed) since August of 2006 until now. I didn't expect to go until this far and i guess it's very hard to stop once you started.

If i don't write about Gunpla, i wouldn't know that there are than a few of them who collect too in my batch...

Hey, let's collect more gunpla. Stop clubbing then you'll have the money.
