1/100 MG Gundam Wing Zero

This is my very first Master Grade Gundam Model and it is currently still a work in progress...
I always wanted to get this kit once it was released several years back but Gundam models are really costly back then...

I managed to get my hands on one of them now...haha. Thou i much wanted to get the Perfect Grade version but it will put me back some RM600. I'll just settle for a Master Grade Gundam Wing Zero for now...


Box art.


The runners for parts, 16 in total.


Work done so far, the upper body, without the shoulders


Dude, where are my legs?


Gonna take my time building this kit...:)

Not that quite over you..

Following my previous post, its quite clear that i am not quite over my recent heartbreak.

After that particular incident, i thought that i could just let it go and move on. I try to keep my mind of that matter by occupying my time with other things, hopefully to help me get over it.

Even at work, the lost of motivation to work is quite obvious, thou I may not make it too obvious, some colleagues seem to notice it. Its not that i started doing a more crappy job, but its more on my expression of being less cheerful compared to the previous weeks.

I have not been communicating that often on messenger anymore as it kinda reminded me of certain things. Yes, i do communicate quite often on messenger prior to this. I only keep communicating via it to work colleagues and to close friends. Some have even ask me why i am quiet on messenger of late. My answer will be "..." I have nothing to say....feeling stoned.

I really thought that i am fine and will not let this heartbreak get the better of me. Whenever asked about it, i will say that i got over it and it will not affect me one bit. I can even laugh about it and not let this matter get in the way of me taking my time and have some fun... more futsal and more Left4Dead, more time for my Gundam models...

So i thought.....all it needed is one sleepless night and with nothing to do but lie on the bed, my mind starts to wander...and as it wanders, it recalls all those memory of being together with her, all the little things that attracted me in the first place. Soon, as i stay up late, alone, in front of my laptop, these thoughts of what-if, or had-it-be; starts flooding my mind and makes me feel crappy; as though somethings is missing. I still not quite over it, but i tried and i tripped right in front of the finish line. I know it should get over it, but i was too naive thinking it will just go away in a snap.

I am sick and tired of this feeling I am having right now. I just hoped some light can be shed and lead me out of my misery here.

That left me all alone
But I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
Somebody turn the lights on
Somebody tell me what's wrong
I'd be lying if I told you
Losing you was something I could handle

Trust you - Yuna Ito

The current ending theme for the Gundam 00 anime. What can i say, sweet voice coupled with nice soothing music. It was the a great combination for a song. When i first heard it, i fell in love with that song..




This is of course the TV version of the song. Yes, the full version of the song has been released along with her latest album on the 4th of March.

plus the singer, Yuna Ito, looks quite hot too. :p

Life's a roller coaster

Its been a long while since i last updated with a much decent write up....everything else has been so random and somewhat meaningless.

Life's a roller coaster. Don't you agree?

We do come across certain ups and downs as we walk down the route of our lives. Sometimes live can be so good, you think that you are at the top of the world, and sometimes you just feel as though your live would just end.

I somewhat broke down on valentines with some unexpected outcome. As the days pass, i got over it and thought that it should not mean the end my world. It hurts at first but by taking my mind of it by doing other things, i somewhat felt better and not dwell in the matter any longer.

I started to frequent to the cyber cafes once again. I have been to cyber cafes at least once a week since that dreaded day; no thanks to Left4Dead. Although the game seem meaningless ( running around and kicking zombie's ass) and short, it was kinda addictive and its great to play some computer games with a couple of friends. Good for relieving stress. :)

I too start to go back to some of my childhood dreams of owning and building Gundam models. Yes, i have child within me to satisfy. Its was very costly back then plus not getting any income albeit some allowance from parents. Now the price has dropped and with a somewhat steady income, i can indulge my inner child to these models.


I was stunned on Monday afternoon after hearing news of the passing of my grandmother. I was devastated as it came quite sudden. I totally lost my mood to work. Fortunately there was nothing much to do, so the effects were that bad, work wise. I spent yesterday and this morning at the funeral paying my finals respects to someone dear whom i will not meet again. May she rest in peace. No, i am not feeling any better now about it and i kinda regretted not spending more time with my grandmother when she is around. These matter is a hard pill to swallow but we all know for fragile life is.

Went back to work today just before lunch time after the funeral service. As i sat down and turn my computer on, my boss invited a bunch of us for a treat at Secret Recipe. Its not a offer that we can turn down easily :D
Great lunch, went back, read some emails and i came across one that said:

"Daniel, your contract has ended."

WTFOMG!!

I did mention to my boss earlier and i immediately got him to start a discussion. After a somewhat long talk, making known what i want to achieve in HP and him letting me know his expectations, good news came. He has planned to extend my contract but just needed time to discuss certain details with me. So i got a contract extension and further chance to advance in my knowledge and career.

Just came back from futsal. Bad game, I did not score any goals.... Was damn tired and almost do not have any motivation to play after what happened the last few days. Nonetheless, it was good exercise and i am damn tired now. My legs hurt. Gonna hit the sack now.

In the end, to sum it all up. There is never really ups or downs in our lives. With exception to certain matters. It still boils down to how we look at things. Its never good to be too optimistic or overly pessimist. We need to look at the greener side of lives to really enjoy it to the fullest. So what if i have a crappy spell. Try being an optimistic pessimist. That being said, it basically means try to look a the brighter side of even the worse of situations, i prefer if that way. That way you won't be overly crushed over your failed high expectations but tend look at the brighter side of things. Life will be uninteresting, it everything goes your way. Its kinda like a coin. Whenever you're experiencing something bad, just a flip ( through some decisions and actions) you might see the brighter side of things :)

Gonna sleep now. Ciao

Solving the rubik's cube

I bet most of you have seen this, and some of you might even own one. And to those people, i bet most of you are able to solve it as well.



Once, i am unable to solve this classic puzzle, not to mention not being able to even get 1 side with the same color. I gave up on it. I started again after i saw it on market the other day, so i thought, why not? I just grab it for RM6, scrambled it up and got to it again

Now, its not a matter whether i can solve it or not, its the matter of how fast i can solve it. No matter how scrambled it is, i can get the colors on all 6 sides; depending of course the pieces were not taken out and scrambled.

I think its kinda like everything we go through everyday. Life can be simple; like an unscrambled cube. But with some twist and turn, everything can turn messy, mixed up and disoriented. However with some simple, measured moves, a few right turns ( or left) everything can be organized and neat again.

In short, no matter how messed up your life is, how down you are feeling at the very moment, things will turn out to be better, if the right decisions are made. Nothing is served on a silver platter or laid on roses for us ( unless you are freaking rich), we must make our own strides to make our lives less complicated.

25 Random things

A friend asked me to write this. I resisted at first but eventually gave in. Again to take my mind of somethings. So here goes..

1. I once touched a kerosene lamp and left my finger there before realizing its freaking hot and it hurts.

2. Some call me Daniel, while some call me YewGinn and even some once called me telur -_- (all because i ordered nasi lemak + telur rebus)

3. I enjoy all kinds of music, depending on my mood and whatever that comes up on my play list.

4. I would say i know how to play the Clarinet and the Saxophone, but its been at least 5 years since I last touched them.

5. I tried to learn how to play the guitar but lacked the discipline.

6. I have an aquarium which i have been maintaining since I was 16. Now with some income, i could do more with it.

7. I have an extra bone sticking out at my right shin. It does not hurt and i did not realize it until i did an x-ray of my right leg

8. Speaking of right legs, i once damaged some ligaments at my right ankle from a basketball game which led to me requiring the x-ray

9. I enjoy eating but never enjoyed onions, cheese and durians.

10. I like playing football/futsal , badminton and i enjoy swimming. But never really a good at them; thou I am not that worse off.

11. I like to draw and i regretted not pursuing a career in designing.

12. I used to drive a 1985 Nissan Sunny and planned to overhaul it, until it got stolen. I am now driving a Honda City.

13. I am a supporter of Arsenal FC, since the day I saw them beat MU 3-0. That was like 10 years ago. The other reason is because i enjoyed watching Dennis Bergkamp playing football.

14. I plan to visit the Emirates Stadium one day before i die.

15. I don't really enjoy reading. When reading the papers the 1st thing i'll read its the sports section, followed by the comics section then only i will look for something to read from the news section.

16. I can't tell left from right when i was younger. My guide will be the birth mark i got at my left finger.

20. I like to travel but often lack the funds or a travel companion.

21. I think winning in gambling is very contagious. The thrill keeps bringing you back and you won't even feel a thing when you lose...

22. I joined Fitness First in an attempt to lose some weight. And after awhile i think i look better than before but my weight does not seem to change. Wasted?

23. I climbed Bukit Tabur once after hearing so much about it. Now i want to try rock climbing, play paintball, white water raft and bungee jump.

24. I hate roller coaster rides and anything that goes slow, then fast ,then slow again and then fast...... But i like driving fast...

25. I felt as thou i have wasted some 30 minutes of my life writing this.

For what's its worth

I just spent a considerable amount of money on something that i may not see or get anything in return....

Crazy?
.
Perhaps....

I am just now waiting and see how it goes..

On? or Bye?

Arshavin joins Arsenal

At long last, the deal went through. Really hoped it proved to be a great signing and a boost to Arsenal's attacking options. With Fabregas, Eduardo, Walcott and Rosicky coming back from injury, options up front look good. Now, to just work on the defense.

Underworld 3: Rise Of The Lycans

Just watched this latest installment of the Underworld movies and it did not disappoint. Its been awhile since the release of the first 2 installments and i can really recall what happened then. Nevertheless this movie here did not disappoint with its fair share of bloodshed, drama, action, and of course a very interesting plot.

Potential Spoilers ahead....

The story basically revolves around the vampire race who ruled over the humans and the lycans ( werewolves ) due to their superiority in strength and their ability for immortal live.

That was until a lycan which took a human form (Lucian) was born and the leader of the Vampires, Victor chose not to kill him but to raise him as his son, but still holds the stature of the mere slave. Lucian then fell in love with Sonja; Victor's daughter; which lead to Lucian fleeing with a group of lycans who were held captive as well.

While outside, he gathered an army of lycans to bring down the Vampires and rescue Sonja; who was imprisoned as her treachary was revealed. It was to no avail as the Lucian was captured in the rescue mission and Sonja was killed for treason. The whole army of Lycans then attacked the Vampires obliterating them in the process, albeit 2 survivors, Tanis who the rescued Victor who was supposedly killed of the Lucian.


Here are some points i picked up..

The child of Sonja and Lucian is supposed to bring the clans together but it is considered as treachary.

Human slaves are captured and are bitten by lycans, turning them into lycans.

Lycans held behind the castle wall seem to have a human mind and serve the vampires as slaves, while the lycans outside a wild mindless beast.

When the vampire bites, he/she can view the memories of their victims.

Vampires are relatively weak as all the poccess is super strenght and the memory stealing bite. They burn when exposed to sunshine.

Lycans can transform from human to wolf, have super strenght, regenerative powers, and a killing animal's instinct. So they can fight as warriors or as a beast, at will.

The ending of the movie depicts the victory of the lycans and brings us back to the future with Kate Beckinsale as the slayer. Long story short, for those who may not have realised it, the Rise of The Lycans is the prequel to the first 2 underworld series.


For this movie, its definitely a 9/10 for me. Great movie!!

For(N)Ever

Yes....its Hoobastank's latest album release...
Went throught some of it songs and its quite decent.

I particular like this song, So Close ,So Far.

I wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar.
Been gone so many days, I’m losing count.
When I think of home, I see your face.
I know I have to wait…

(Chorus)
So close, yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I miss hearing your laughter
And all the little things
Forgotten what it’s like to hold you
Cause where I am right now so unforgiving
It’s numbing everything

So close, yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

So promise
No matter how long it takes for me to get back to you
You’ll wait for me.

I Promise
No matter how far away I go I’ll come back for you
Just wait and see

I miss being at home
I miss your face
Don’t think I can wait...

We’re So close, yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be there with you
So close yet so far
It’s tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you


I promise,
It’s tearing me apart
No matter how far away I go I’ll come back for you
I promise
Its tearing me apart
What I would do-
What I would do-
What I would do to be there with you

The lyrics are pretty good, citing something being so close, but yet so far. Exactly how i am feeling now..

damn...

Scaling Mount Bukit Tabur - 24/1

24th January 2009 would a first for me. I woke up before 7 for the very first time after a long long while, to climb a hill.....i don't even wake up that early for work ok?

We, myself, KahHean, Mei Ai, Mei Sheen, Lydia, William, Kevin and Andrew , planned to meet at Kevin's place at 7am before we start our climb but yours truly woke up at 6:55am. So, after a quick wash and fast drive, i arrived there at 7:20am.

This would be my first time climbing that hill after hearing so much about it, even new a bout where people get seriously injured and even died(?) during their expedition. Shit...
The thought, " why am i here when i should be sleeping at home" keep running through my head as we walked from Kevin's place to the starting point of the climb.

Bukit Tabur is actually located near the Klang Gates or in Taman Melawati, nearby Wangsa Maju. One can see the hill from Wangsa Maju; just look towards the hill area and you will spot a quartz hill. Thats it. From the top one, can enjoy the view of the lake behind and the view of the city in the other direction. Its up to you to judge which has the better view, the misty lake view or the hazy smoky city view.



We stumble upon this huge ass spider hanging over its web at a power cable. It was the biggest spider i have ever seen in my life so far apart from a Tarantula.



Everyone is energetic before the decent, despite some very sleepy expressions.



Some of the flora stumbled along the way. Don't know the name exactly, just for photo taking sake. After a short tiring uphill climb, we reached our first pit stop to take a short breather and got a glimpse of the lake over the hill.



A short break and a quick drink we continued further up where we got a better view of the lake which is by the way, man made due the the construction of a dam nearby.



The sun is up but the mist around the area plus the occasional cool blowing breeze was so refreshing it motivates and gives us strength to continue the climb. Soon, the sun began to peek over a higher mountain. The rays are now shining down on use and the only cover we had was the shades of the lush greenery there which will be quite lacking as we proceed higher...



Some decided to go ahead faster....




Further up, finally managed to see that dam which created the above scenery



Then, 2 fellas chose to pop up while i was taking the picture of something else.



As we went on, a came across huge rocks where we need to scale upwards, sideways and absail downwards. Pretty much like rock climbing but without the ropes and harness but i think it is much simpler compared to rock climbing.

Thats where we need to scale downwards alongside a rock with a rope; which was there anyway; to get on our way.



Kevin and myself made it pass first and we had to wait for the rest as the make their way across. William was always at the back as we made our way pass the obstacles and he was the one who always felt abandoned....haha



Met some French who were also making their way along the trail but in the opposite direction. So while we wait, we managed to rest and capture some of the surroundings.


And Genting Highlands



Stumbled across no wild animals apart from 2 dogs which i think have been there all the while, some insects, swifts and numerous floras and...



A lost schoolboy..

lol
