Walking down the path alone...

Today is the 2nd day I took the public transport to work after I got myself a car somewhere 2 1/2 years ago. Luckily I’m still a so-so walker myself, and the walking distance from my Condominium to the nearest LRT station is still bearable for me.

Due to many reasons (which I don’t feel like sharing,sorry…) I decided to abandon my car during the weekdays and take the public transport instead. Each step I take, reminds me of something which I will never be able to forget.

The scenery to the LRT station doesn’t really look that nice. It’s a long walk though. 15 mins walk for a person with an average walking speed and another 45 mins (by LRT) to the destination station where I’m working at.

I think I’m contributing something back to mother earth right? That is one less car emission I’m talking about. It may be nothing much, but hopefully it will be able to make a difference.

Guess I’ll be walking down the path all alone with all the obstacles coming at me…

MSM-04 ACGUY

Another completed kit of mine. This little guy is damn cute and I’ve been posing this guy on and off ever since its been fixed up. You can really come out with all sort of funny posing. Enjoy!!!!

Perfect Grade Strike Gundam

Perfect Grade (PG) Strike Rouge Gundam, this was the model kit that I managed to purchase from Hong Kong during my business trip 3 years ago.

I couldn’t find Strike Gundam together with  “Skygrasper + Aile Striker” so I decided to get Strike Rouge instead (because it comes bundled together). Everything is the same except for the color of the plastic kit, booklet, manuals and the dry transfer decals which I don’t mind anyway.

Since the box of this kit was super duper big, I had no choice by to check it in under “fragile” with no special packing during my trip back to KL.

I was worried sick that I won’t be finding my model kit when I was going to collect my luggage .In the end, it arrived safely right??

Anyways, I wont be doing any review on this kit as I think you guys can find a good review of this kit from [dalong.net]. Fixing this huge PG took me quite a while...since for a PG grade, every bit of the mecha is so detailed with so many individuals parts that is required to be fixed up.

Had fun fixing it and ABing it…if not mistaken, this was my 3-4 kit that I’ve decided to AB. So you can imagine the lousy finishing…I was lazy that time, therefore I only sprayed the armor parts to match the original Strike Gundam color scheme. The internal frame was left as it is.

If you notice, I broke something, the V-fin, I didn’t even notice when I broke it. So it was not possible for me to find the broken piece..not sure when I will fix it back, or even be fixing it. hahaha…

Beside that, I broke quite a few parts as well. I was actually trying to pose it with “armor hatch open” mode, but end up breaking other parts as well. Damn!!!!

Also, with the constant changing of pose, paint scratches can be found almost everywhere. Guess, I’ll have to re-paint this poor little guy..eh???

“You want a piece of me?”

Completed Works

At last, after the long wait, i managed to open up another new section [Completed works]. Hopefully everyone is able to enjoy it..

More will come. I promise…

RGM-111 HARDYGUN Mobile Suit

Kit: GRM–111 HARDYGUN Mobile Suit

Grade: 1/100 NG

Series: Silhouette Formula 91

Originally Released: January 1994

HLJ.com Stock Status: Discontinued

This is my first Gundam Model Kit and i’'m glad it’s still around. While all my childhood toys are never to be found again, ever…

It’s more than 10 years old now. I bought it with my hard earn money (around RM60.00++). After my year 3 secondary school, i was working in the toy department of a small time supermarket. So i was waiting for the sales(20% off) to come and grab this kit home.

Since i was working there, any item that we buy need to be screen by the management office. And this is where the story begins….

At that time, my supervisor just gave birth, so resources was really low. Only 1 staff guarding the whole toy department (plus Cashier) during weekdays and 2-3 staff during weekends.

So you can imagine, that I was doing all the work there from being a cashier boy to managing the stock when new toys arrived, etc… So came the sales, and i was so damn happy waiting to be the customer myself of the toy department.

Maybe it was a stupid move myself. i open the receipt, took my money out from my wallet, paid to myself and deposited into the cashier. Later, I brought my kit to the management office for inspection before I can collect it back at the end of the day.

I was so happy the whole day, waiting eagerly to collect my kit. Never did i knew, i opened the receipt wrongly!!!!. it was suppose to be a 20% discount item, but i wrote it wrongly as “10%”, while the discounted price was correct. I think i’ve opened to many receipt that day with “10%”, hence the carelessness.

I don’t blame the STUPID manager for being suspicious of me. With all the explanation I gave to him, he was reluctant to releases it back to me and wanted to wait for my Supervisor to come back after her maternity leave (like after 3 months time???). I was like “WHAT THE F@*(!!!!” (opps, i think i still haven’t learn the F word yet that time…who cares!!!)

Then he dare me, ask me to find the evidence for the model i bought is really a 20% discount item and only he will release it to me. So i embarked on a journey to find the truth…took out the stock list item and scan through each and every item till i found the [HARDYGUN] kit. At that time i was able to view the cost price vs retail price…

FOUND IT!!! Records says that 2 kits was in stock. i got the last one which means that the first one has been sold already. I was praying that the kit was also purchased during sales time which would have shown the “20% discount” on the receipt.

The next phase was to scan thru all pass receipt, it was like 2-3 super big bags of receipt books, hundreds of them with 100 pages for each receipt book. Kind of like “finding a needle in the haystack”???

i wouldn’t want to emphasis on how many receipt book i hard to look for before i got it!!!!!!! i could see a grin on my face, when i saw the matching code with the writing of [20% discounted]!!!!!

Jump my ass right into the management office to look for that IDOIT again!!!! See what he has to say about it now!!!!! bwahahahaha……instead I came out from the office a sad boy again.

The JERK OFF said that there was no signature on the receipt and its consider void. Come on man!!!, of all the receipts i’ve scanned and opened, we DO NOT SIGN the receipts. Even our Supervisor don’t do that!!! Some more gave excuses as, "you yourself agreed to wait for your supervisor to come back first”…damn!!! i found evidence of my innocents man!! why do i need to wait again????

I continued working alone during the weekdays, having like only 5 mins break instead of an hour because no one will be attending to the cashier if i’m not around. when new stock arrives, i would need to unpack them as well…guess it was not a simple job right??? So one day, i got an outstation call from my supervisor’s boss. I think he knew i was working all alone and he will be coming over to see how he can add some resources. before ending the call, he ask how am i doing and is there anything he could do…

Revenge time!!!! i told him all about the stupid IDOIT JERK OFF and BOSS told me no problem. Since he will be dropping by a few days later, he will settle it for me once and for all…

i got my kit back, din i??? thanks BOSS!!!!!!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Model kit was built by my old friend 10 years ago. He helped me to paint this kit and made it so nice for me. Although you might notice some poor workmanship, but remember, he was just a kid when he ventured into gunpla. Its a waste that he stopped totally. i bet he would have become a greet sifu.

• seam line covered with super glue ( cracking already)
• lots of visible red stickers (he was out of red paint at that time, i can’t blame him, he did this without charging me a single $$$$…
• kit is AB, weathered, panel lined, etc…

RX-178 Gundam Mk-II v2.0 [Head Part] WIP 0.1

Basically these are the stuffs that I’ve done for the MKII’s Head.  I’ve added some pla-plates/strips and Kotobukiya parts. I’m trying not to over mod this guy.

Seem familiar? the front part actually is quite similar with [Rayloke’s]. I think certain moding/detailing are becoming standard work. Don’t you agree???

 

Basically , I got the idea from my PG Strike Gundam. And the three strips idea came from G-system 1/35 MKII head. 

Sharpen the V-fins and added some pla-strips..

Its all ready for priming already, but I’m using bottle primer, so need to setup my AB, thinning of primer, etc ...

Argh!!!! Suddenly, I feel so lazy…..

A Heavy downpour…

I’ll be starting to post my previous model kit in a new section [completed works] which I’ve done way back 2-3 years ago where I just started to learn how to Air Brush my kit.

Basically my old kits are displayed on my table, book shelf, above my wardrobe, etc.. which could collect a huge amount of dusts. So now and then, i will need to bring them for a washing session…

After the washing session, I'll try to snap some pictures before sending them to their funerals (pack them up into boxes for the time being and wait till i get a glass shelf for them so i can resurrect them again…hehehe)

time to get wet…waiting for the downpour from my shower in the bathroom.

 

basking under the hot sun…

btw, this is just half of my old collection, more washing to come…

Me, myself and I, together with my hair

Took me quite a while to start blogging again…everyday when I reach home wanting to do some blogging, I just cant do it…don’t seem to be able to do anything lately.

My Life? All I can say is life will never be the same again…

Work? No choice I need my Vitamins M, so I need to work …

Friends? Funny thing about it is…I seldom keep in touch with my friends. Its kind of like when you never keep in touch already, really don’t know what to talk about…so I’ll just crash at home only. how anti-social of me…

Sports? Never really go for any sports activities ever since I when college. But recently I hit the gym to sweat out a little bit. Not any fancy gym, its one of available facilities at my condominium only.

Gunpla? Its seems like I’ve abandon quite a few project already.. When your are down, you don’t seem to have any mood to do anything. But I’ll try to start again..i’ve actually got 1 project which I need to complete. Its for Zero G Forum MKII Group Built.

My hair? Me, myself and I together with my hair!!!

i’m not sure with you guys out there, but how often do you hit the hair saloon…when I in secondary school, I had no choice but to constantly keep my hair short. Cause my forehead is very small only, school prefects will start catching/fining students with hair over the ears, forehead, etc…

the fatter side of me (took this pic back in Dec 2007)

Then in the later years of my secondary life, I’m a prefect myself, so I need to be the role model rite???

the handsomer side of me?? (took this back in Nov 2008)

I always wish I could keep my hair long where I could tie a pony tail..but till date, I’ve never able to keep my hair that long enough…

My trend is like, go for a short hair style…then let I grow long for at least 6 months max..then short all over again…

more "cam whore-ing"??? (took this back in Nov 2008)

Everything I visit the saloon, they will ask, do you really want cut it short?? I will say, “what the heck..just do it already…”

Also when I’m all bored with the short hair style, I will do something extreme…BOTAK!!!!

Operation Botak Head

I first botak-ed my head way back during college life, 2 years ago and recently!!! Yup!! I’m all botak again!!!!

the current me... (took this pic Jan 2009)
