Good camera and lightings really help a lot to produce excellent pics. There are many painting errors made for both kits as usual but I think they are not obvious here.
The next kit will take a very long time to complete due to work, haiz...

MG Wing Zero Custom & MG Freedom
It's been quite some time since I posted any model kit pics. Finally found some time and effort to take some pics.

To Rayd and PY
Attended Rayd and PY's ROM ceremony yesterday. Can't think of anything to say until now:
"To the both of you, I deeply and sincerely wish you happiness in the many many years to come. I am really really happy for you both. It seems like a very simple task of just exchanging vows and maybe some pple wanna burst out laughing 'cos of your awkwardness looking at each other and saying those 'yes' 'i will'. To me, I was all smiles, dunno why. I was really happy! It's like watching a drama which ended happily but then it's like watching the beginning of a sequel to this drama which I know will be a very long and joyous one.
Maybe some pple might say 'rayd, that's the end of you', 'rayd, you are so dead', ' rayd, god bless you'. To me, I will say, 'rayd and py, hand in hand, walk this path bravely and happily. The path will not always be a smooth one, but i know and believe that you two will carry on strongly just like the way you love each other'. I will not warn you of 'what to look out for', 'you better be careful', 'this is not the way to do things' 'cos there is no value in saying things that I do not experience personally.
To me, Rayd and PY, your marriage is one made by heaven to show the rest of us what love is and this is how you got married.
My blessings to you~"

Shut the **** Up!!!
There are times when I really wish the govt can just shut the **** up.
Give SG citizens money to offset GST increase give some incentives, then tell pple don't take it for granted. Give money don't wanna give lump sum. Money give so little still wanna give pple in the form of installment, so that "pple won't spend them all in one shot".
Govt.. if you wanna show some goodwill by giving back some of the $$$ you've made from GST 'investment/milking', just give them graciously. If you wanna give $$$, then whine so much after that, don't give... I rather not have it.
Mas Selamat missing for 6 weeks. Instead of putting in more effort to search for the stupid person, govt decided to remind SG pple of the previous hard work put in by the security agencies. Uncle.. so meaning to say, a school kid flunked his graduating exams but we should not forget that he has excelled throughout his study years. A murderer should be forgiven because he has been a good boy all his life before he starts murdering pple.
So govt is just trying to tell us, "Dudes, we all make mistakes. Just remember all the good things we have done in the past. Overlook our few minor misjudgements... okay? And by the way, those are not our faults, it's those stupid buggers who left him in the toilet unattended. It's them okaaay? I wasn't even there at that time!"
No wonder pm says so few local talents to fill in minister level positions.
Time for foreign talents to fill in the gaps.... AGAIN!!

Chinese New Year (Ang Baos no enough)
Happy Chinese New Year to All !!!!
So how's your ang bao collection everyone? Got hundreds or thousands of dollars??? From what I've read in the newspapers, the traditional S$4 ang bao money is no longer enough!!! As quoted by one auntie in the papers, 'because cost of living is getting higher, S$4 no enough....'
I wonder who the hell these reporters are interviewing. They interviewing those living in Holland V and Bukit Timah issit? I simply cannot find the rationale behind 'increasing ang bao money because of rising cost of living'. I get S$4 ang baos. I don't care about whatever ang bao rates nowadays. I'm pretty sure my relatives and friends' parents do not factor in cost of living when they give ang baos. Who cares about those nonsensical sh**???
Giving/ receiving hong baos is a tradition that we choose to carry out during CNY. It's not 'paying more' just because of GST increase or 'rrrrissssing cost of living'
Wake up pple... No one will care how much you want to give. No one will care how much you receive.... and please don't think you have 'profited' from this CNY... your parents are 'paying' others too......

Back to Posting!
It has been quite while since I posted. Been searching for jobs after serving my remaining NS days. The feeling of being jobless for close to 4 months is damn sad. No additional income to spend on stuff I like.. no monetary contribution to the family makes me feel damn useless.. listening to my friends talking about their jobs and stuff sucks.. feeling so shitty all these past weeks..
Anyway those were the sucky days, just found a job and have been working for 3 weeks. Can't say for now whether it's the kind of job I really like or will come to like/ dislike, but at least I am not leading an empty life now!
Should be posting abit more frequently now, if I have the effort... haahaaa!!

Christmas Island
Christmas Island - A beautiful island once under the jurisdiction of then British Singapore. The island location can be found here.
The island was a few times bigger than Sentosa and had a wide diversity of wildlife and fauna.
In 1957, sovereignty of the island was transferred to Australia for £2.9 million, an estimated value of the phosphate foregone by Singapore. (The island had phosphate resources). I don't really know the reason for this "sale". According to info from NLB, SG's impending independence caused the British to transfer ownership. (Don't understand why they so selfish....) According to my parents, the $$$ acquired from this sale is used to fund the building of Nicoll Highway... If this was true.... I can only say "....."
A small discussion with MJ, KKJ, YT and maybe YQ (don't think he was listening, he was dozing off -_-) earlier today at Mac with regards to the sale of Christmas Island suggest that the island should be sold for the $$$. Other reasons include proximity (KKJ) of island from SG, waste of resources to protect the island (YT) as well as opportunity costs (MJ who left as soon as he said this... wth).
My argument to not sell the island is only one: It belongs to SG, it is part of SG and therefore should never be sold. You don't sell your flesh just because it is useless or you can't maintain it (wateva there is to maintain, i don't know).
Christmas island is approximately the same distance away from SG and Australia.
Had the island not been sold, it could have been used as a base for military purposes. eg: Aircrafts. That way, there would have been less need for SG to use other countries air bases which is a more wasteful use of resources.
The island would have served as a better tourism attraction (better than Sentosa, which is 90% man made).
It is a mistake, in my opinion, to link everything in life to the economy. Know that the sale of an island never happened in Indonesia (despite it having so many undeveloped small islands). Why? That's because it is part of Indonesia's sovereignty. You don't sell/ throw away an island just because it is too far away/ difficult to maintain, manage.
There are many things in life that shouldn't be linked to $$$.

Tremors felt @ 1915hrs
1915hrs. I was sitting on the floor in my living room watching the History Channel documentary on Pol Pot when I felt my butt shaking. Ya man, I wasn't lifting my ass up to fart....
The tremor lasted around 10 secs.
My parents and I looked out of the window to see many curious faces looking out too. We quickly switched off all electrical appliances and went out of our home. Our neighbour was just outside and my mum began talking to her about the tremor. After that, we decided "wth, let's just go back in......."
Latest news is Indonesia was experiencing an earthquake of 7.9 at that time (Channelnewsasia)
