Update for the week..

Ah, been a bit since i've updated this. Found out on Tuesday night that my granddad has a fall at home and was admitted to hospital. Apparently he had a mild stroke and fell against the fridge in the kitchen.

He had some haemorraging in the brain so he's under observation. He's not out of the woods yet even though he looked pretty ok just now, he couldn't talk, but could grip our hands, and opened his eyes to see us. I guess it feels better now that i have seen him, it sucks not knowing how he is. :p

We'll all praying that he recovers, and with rehabilitation, gets better.

Happy Mother's Day!

First of All, i'd like to thank my mum for being there for me all these years and for all the love she has given to me! :)

Had dinner at my sis's place for Mum's day earlier on, yummy zhichar! :g

Well, it's been a restful weekend.. was out in town wif wifey yesterday, suprisingly was not very crowded. Back again to work tomolo! :p

Latest Haul and a visit to the rc doc...

I know i'm supposed to cut down on things like this... but these were pre-ordered months ago, so i had to collect them right? ;) On the left is the 1/100 VF-25S from Macross Frontier, it's a 'partsfomer', as in not a perfect transformation like the 1/60 series from Yamato.

I don't think i'll collect the rest (although i do still have one on preorder); too expensive and spindly to be worth the money. On the right is the Bandai 1/60 VF-25 "Messiah" with super pack.. the bot i got a while ago, but the armor was what i got. It's a web exclusive from Bandai... bastiches... thinking of all ways to make money!

VF-11B and VF-1A Max also out... ouch. :p

On another note, learned a few things today :

1) 6ch CCPM helis are REALLY loud.
2) At full throttle, you can lose your limbs if you're not careful
3) 6ch CCPM helis crash REALLY HARD.

WTF, i had training gear on and i still kinda smashed it... but i wasn't prepared for the power it put out.. it's a monster! Well, it's out of action until the replacement parts come in! Oh, one other thing... ball link pliers are a MUST! :)

Home again!

Ahh... good to be back after a week of NS training. :) It really wasn't so long cos of the labor day holidays in the middle, but being in camp, time goes by soooo sloowwwwllyyyy..... :p

This is the 8th ICT, next will be a 3 day low key sometime in June 2010, wow. Is it me, or is cookhouse food progressively getting worse? It was ok for the first 3 days or so ( briyani, etc ), then they started having crappier and crappier food for the last 3 days. Urgh, they should just stick to all food being fried, and all will be ok!

Well, back to work tomorrow, a different battlefield! :P

Post for the weekend...

Went AGAIN to rotor at kitchener, the people there must recognise me by now! :p Anyway, went and got myself a E-sky King 3 RC copter. :p I only did that cos i told myself that i would get it if the shop had it.. and didn't expect them to!

Quite sweet this baby, it has a very solid feel to it, and access to the inner parts is easier.. uh.. the manual is so-so, typical china english... :p

Another reason why i got this is cost, for a 400-450 copter, this is cheap... the total cost is not even enough to buy a good JR or Futaba controller! :p I figured i'd get used to bashing this 6-channel first before i move to bashing a $800+ chopper!

Weeelll... no time to fly it anyway! Battery is still charging!!! : And i'm booking in for the remainder of my ICT tomorrow... so prob only next week then will i have a chance to test fly.. :)

IRON MAN MK II

Ooooo! Toy poison, Hot Toys from HK has been churning out really good stuff lately, like the Appleseed Deunan/Briareos 12" figs, The Joker deluxe fig, and recently the RE5 figures. Just out is the Iron Man MK II armor (which tony stark used for testing before building the MKIII armor) and it's too cool. :)

This is all pretty impressive as i think their headscuplts beat most other 12" manufacturers out there, even medicom i feel. Another one to check out is Enterbay whose Bruce Lee, Godfather and 24 Jack Bauer figures rock.

Check out the review of the MK II here.

Finally... new mammary rendering technology!

Hehe, it's about time! Aren't we all sick of the oversized jiggly bits? ;)
