One week left of school

There is just one week left! come to think of it, i cant decide whether to be happy or to be sad. On one side, i am pretty much sick of this studying. zzz...i feel like slacking! (even though i cant possible do that and if i do so, it would be the worst decision of my life) on the other hand, i really want to attend school so that i cant see all of my friends! :D soon, we will walk different paths and it would be seldom that we cross paths, let alone walk the same path. (unless we fail altogether and sign up as cleaners)

definitely, i would be keen to come back to Pionner JC. It has been such a memorable journey all this while! all those lesson times..all those games that we had, going through thick and thin and snagging up those medals :) and of course i wont forget those r

M4 to HK416 modelling

wellll no-so-recently, i ended my prelims! it was pretty hellish...but im glad its over :) now there is A levels T.T but anyway! i decided to take one day off, to really just slack! no work, no studies, no touching of notes, just a nice long break. I needed a recharge. Eating batteries didnt work~neither did sleep, nor coffee. Gaming got me more stressed up instead as a began to 'QQ' over laggers in the game. so, i decided to do some plastic modelling!
there were 3 choices:
1. Do a gundam model
2. Macross model
3. A replica gun

Options 1 and 2 Takes FOREVER to complete! i went ahead with option 3 in the end as both 1 and 2 were just not feasible for now. for a few reasons. lack of cash, lack of time. Both of the first two options required LOTS of time as they required really good precision. this isnt something that i have to spare. plus all the different paints that will cost me a bomb. each paint, excluding the thinner that is needed to mix with it, is about $7-8 for a small bottle. a replica gun just needs spray paint. a huge spray paint for acrylics barely costs $6. and a replica gun has way less colour variants to buy! and it dries a lot faster! i dont use airbrush for models, rather, i prefer brushes. the bristle way~ so cost wise, i went ahead with option 3. both gundam and macross models will eat up close to one week of my time, if i want to do a really perfected model with all details as i tend to melt different parts together, creating a unique model. so...due to time constraints, i did a gun replica.

lemme show ya the steps that i did to make a HK416! actually, i wanted to just do a simple m4. however, the hk416 remains as my favourite gun! so...i decided to give it some minor tweaks. i shall go step by step and bring you through what i did. :)

First up was removing those toy-ish red panels :) i bought a toy m4 alright! you know like those really kiddy ones that have vibrations and lights and sounds~ the one that i bought is very accurate, from black tactical. its at Funan IT Mall btw.



The next thing that i did was to cut off all those sickening wires! i wanted to have just 1 lightbulb for the gun, keep the vibrations, throw out the sounds. ended up, i think i cut the wrong wire somewhere..haha! epic fail! now there is no light, no vibration, no sound. so i threw out everything and put it in this recycling bin. might be of some use to me in the future.
Photobucket

which wire to cut! the red one! no the blue one! no the white one!

Photobucket

Here is the cutting. What pissed me off was that i lost my saw! like whatthehell! of all things the saw has to go missing?! so i resorted to using a plastic cutter to cut off those m4 'iron sights' at the front. Its the usual triangle thing in front of the gun. cant miss it. i chopped it off, and modelled it after a HK416 barrel.

Photobucket
used the plastic cutter first..

Photobucket
then the marking knife~

Photobucket
it is WAYYY better to use this than a penknife. even my best penknife is blunt compared to this marking knife. nothing beats the sharpness of this. but still, be extra careful :) i stabbed all the way into my finger before with this. no kidding, not fun!

In order to make the gun look more realistic, i placed a 'barrel' inside. i used PETG tubing to do it, it wasnt that cheap but the barrel size is about there :) pretty accurate. Accuracy to the actual gun cannot be foregone in such a project.Whats a replica without accuracy aye?

Photobucket
speaking of which, its time for me to introduce to you the wall putty! its a semi-liquid, plasticine like substance to fill up gaps in walls, (i just used it to repair my kitchen wall lolol) Its heavy! and easy to apply and clean off, so i use it as weights :)

toy guns are very light! reason being they are for kids, and made of plastic, hollow in the insides. Thats where the putty goes :)
Photobucket
thats how its like when i fill it up with putty! this is the most sickening process. not only is it messy, i have to keep ensuring that i shove in as much as possible. Its thick, paste-like, so air trapped inside slabs of this is a pain in the ass. oops thats my foot.

i estimated the weight of the original toy gun to be about 0.5kg. extremely light. weight to hit, 2.950kg. long way to go!
Photobucket
as such, even those picatinny rails are not left out, everything is filled with wall putty. It also helps to strengthen the barrel area, because there is no wall putty put there, the weight of the gun can cause really bad strains on the plastic there~causing it to break more easily. so since some of the rails go around the front grip, it helps to provide some sturdiness to the weakest part of the gun. (even the butt is filled with putty) every part of the gun is filled until it sounds solid!

Photobucket
all thanks to my stupidity and lack of time, i had to use this method to keep the 'barrel' inside from rolling about xD notice all the putty eh? thats what happens when you squeeze the frames together and screw em back. the putty is filled into the screw holes too, causing the screws to be glued down when the putty is dry.

Photobucket
ah here is a clearer shot. now, is the messiest part :) getting rid of those excess putty. By now, the putty would have dried, since they are all small bits sticking out. so, i use a screwdriver and scratch off everything! its really fast and easy, big mess :)

Photobucket
oh yeah thats the screw holes thing. my fingers from here on became blackish as i have already started painting on some parts! wanted to save as much time as possible. :)

Photobucket
had to do the same thing for the rails...zzz...

Photobucket
some random pic :)

Photobucket
voila! now its done! oh yeah i guess i didnt add in one part..its the one where i used the brush to brush away all the fragments of the putty, because when you scratch it all off, its like powder? sticks a lil to the replica, so i had to brush em all off. i brushed the entire gun so that later the paint will stick on better. you wont want parts of the paint falling off later on. when you paint over the powder, what happens is in future when the powder falls off, you get some weird polka dot rubbish. moreover, paint is more easily scratched off and the body of the gun becomes uneven. that aint good. now, its all ready to be painted!

Photobucket
before jumping straight into it, masking tape the parts that are going to be of a different colour. brown/metallic black/matt black.

After a whole big load of spraying several coats...this is what you get!
Photobucket

okay here is a clearer pic..Photobucket
i painted the metallic black and brown parts. Metallic black for all metalic part of the gun. eg: barrel, mag... brown is for front grip and the usual trigger grip as well as butt.

peel the masking tape off and do the opposite! cover the painted areas, then spray the matt black :)
Photobucket
i use masking tape because it is big and it provides just enough adhesion to the painted areas. problem with lousy tapes or transparent scotch tapes is that they leave a sticky mark on the painted areas. once, i used such strong tape that it ripped off the paint! so my advice, stick to masking tape. or if you have the budget, use painter's tape. its a blue in colour tape btw. overkill much.

Photobucket
tadaaaa!! thats how its like after all the coats have been done, including the lacquer coating to protect the paint :) i chose and was adviced to use matt lacquer instead as the colour comes out wayyyy better! dont buy glossy lacquer! and DONT touch the paint job until the lacquer is dry, if not you will smudge the paint too! end up you have to repaint. thats what happened to my previous replica. itchy hand much~

now on to the weathering effect! i did this through the dry brushing technique, all the stuff that are used are shown in the photo below. thats all you need.
Photobucket
dont know how to do it, youtube weathering, modelling. without the modelling keyword, youtube gives you the literal geographical weathering instead :)

i tried out 2 paints. left one is a blue-based paint for pottery, bought from Arts Friend. Right side is the one from Mr hobby, for gundam models, black-based. mix both thoroughly SEPARATELY, let the silver spread out. i think both were oil based..i think.
Photobucket
let me show you the different effect that both has.

Photobucket
this is the porcelain one, pretty bad. especially because of the tinch of blue that it gives. which gun on earth has blue on it?!

Photobucket
this is the Mr hobby paint. WAYYY better eh! now this looks more like it.

my verdict? go with the right.
Photobucket

Photobucket
Finished product! i did more touch ups with the dry brushing. :)

Photobucket
sorta fully functional! of course it doesnt shoot real bullets. not even pellets. although i might try creating a system or adopting one for my future projects. :) up the difficulty of such replicas! wohoo!

Photobucket
this is a close up of the laser mounted on the underneath of the barrel, i covered 3 of the front railings with the armadillo rail panel, they came in desert colour. also bought from black tactical. they have the best stuffs there for this! :D


finished product!!
Photobucket
Photobucket

oh yeah. there are 2 versions of the m4, one is the SIR while the other is the RIS. the SIR version is for CQB style, usually used in Iraq and Afghanistan. it has a shorter barrel, larger grip around the barrel. which is totally not like the HK416. I bought the RIS instead, because it has a thinner barrel grip area. oh God what the hell do you call that component! the RIS looks pretty much the same as the HK416, the shape is almost the same, all i had to do was to tweak the front sights a lil to model it after the front of a HK. it was pretty easy. :)

this replica was very easy to model, the tougher part is the...i dont know. zzz. the whole process was just about 5 hours long? pretty familiar with these already, so its fast. It was fun! i really loved the end product, very happy with the weight of the gun, although i didnt hit 2.950. i think i hit about 2kg+++ liked the weathering, mum just said wow! how did you do that! might do another 2 when i have the time after the As! it was tiring on my legs though, all the running around and kneeling around to paint all the stuffs. i did have enough time to complete it! it is a joy to finally see my imagination come to reality, never thought of making a HK lookalike. (although i still think it kinda fails) quite some bit of planning went into this before hand due to the tight budget that i had! those assesories costs a bomb alright. thing is everything looks pretty affordable for a start. when you price all of them together, you see the big bomb. now i have lots of spare paint/materials and tools to use for the rest of my models! hehehe.

Warhammer Friday!

WohoooOoo! its been so long since i last blogged! reason being i was just wayyyyy too lazy to upload photos. i seriously do not like the idea of having to upload photos through blogger..it takes forever..usually i do it with photobucket! but this time, photobucket has more or less kicked the bucket. something is wrong with the uploader..oh well! lets get on with it! have some pretty interesting stuffs this time! 
  

Prelims is OVER!!! like finally the toughest paper ever in my life is DONE! however...the most COMPETITIVE paper of my life isnt over yet! oh great..just 45 more days to go man! or is it 46.. bah! its all around there~

On last friday, after i ended my exam, i went shopping around city area! man it was soooo crowded, all thanks to the F1 race. The night practice session was gonna start at 7pm?? and people were queuing up at 11am?! Man! maybe they were vying for the walkabout spots. well 3 minutes later, i found myself shopping in Funan IT Mall. Now that they have like the 5th floor dedicated to LOADS of hobby shops, man its getting so interesting! Its no longer just those IT gadgets, but rather its filled with a maid cafe, anime figurine shops, plastic modelling shops, um military equipment shop..etc etc. its really interesting now! (goes to show how backward i am) i blame it on school and exams. :)

But its not a bad thing! i got myself some fun stuffs to kill time on monday, my rest day! really really tired. Need a break. Kit Kat wouldnt do the job~ so i got myself some plastics to start off :) will upload the stuffs if i feel like it.

here is what i found! last week, whilst taking a break from boring studies, i found this Warhammer 40k thingy...i was like what is this game...? o.o their armours look so coool! this is the video that i watched..

then i was huh! nice! oh wait but i am already busy with Alliance of Valiant Arms..so i will give it a miss. *scrolls through a few videos*
there are models for the game?! and there is a non-console game?! whats this?? after tht i kinda stopped there cuz i got lost. -.- had no idea what the people were doing with the models..it was like red alert 2 or smth.

Then coming back to my trip to Funan IT Mall, i found this new shop just right next to Black Tactical! oh btw, black tactical is where i get all my accessories/replica guns to start off. Its like my base model shop for guns. For gundams, i have another store. For tools, i usually get em from the gundam model store since it has really good stocks! IF not, just go Art Friend. Easiest choice! xD paints are just about the same price! i do brush painting btw. -.- no airbrush for me!

this is the shop, this is the shop! :D Its called...BATTLE BUNKER. then when i walked closer to the display panels outside the shop, guess what i saw!
I was like NO WAY. what a coincidence! that looks just like warhammer 40k! so i decided to jump into the shop and have a look. :)

One guy named Daniel approached me, asking if i was interested in it! hahaha of course i am! i just so love those majestic armours that the soldiers have man. totally my style~ Then he introduced me around this cool shop, where i saw these 2 HUGE tables that were done like a battlefield. now i get the idea of the whole "red alert" thing man! Its just like the game, but its in real life, and it uses dices and plays by the inches..hmmm interesting!
After walking around quite some bit, i spotted this mini table that had these figurines put on display! Having those itchy fingers of mine, i couldnt resist but pick em up and see the detailing of the artworks!

The original model is a grey base, then you can paint it whatever way you want to. The rest of the models are the original colours btw :) they have like 6+ different factions to choose from? then you can buy your own figurines, paint em and use em in battle! how cool is that?!  Best part, you can always invest in your army and buy bigger and badder stuffs! special points and status goes to units using buildings for covers too :) everything plays by the inches, players take turns.



Apparently they have a 'master' who teaches them how to do different sorts of painting. Like washing, weathering.. frankly speaking, i only know the basic painting, marking out, washing, dry brush style weathering.. and i have no idea how to do layering.. Example of layering? look at the model's white cloth in the middle. The effects of darker shades and distinct lines with different shades of grey/white, thats layering. Really nice! :) i have lots to learn eh! yup the master painted this out of a simple grey figurine. The parts can be interchanged too! like arms, legs, heads. 


Cool stuffs indeed! man i am so tempted to try this out once my a levels are done. Until then, all temptations have to wait! except for temptations for ICE CREAM!! =D

What a dream!

Man did i have a weird dream! okay i am not talking about my life..life is more like a nightmare than a dream to me! well for now..and this nightmare is probably gonna last for say say say...3 months?! Oh God. Yes i am still in the midst of my prelims :) this week is like round 2! last week was round one. i just cleared chemistry paper 2 and economics paper 1 today :) Both papers had my fingers sprinting around the pages! Ah but im glad they are over. Now i am only left with Chemistry and Physics Paper 1, and Math Paper 2. Pffft. Math paper 2 is another 3 hour long paper D: paper 1 is also 3 hours long. tsk! Ah great. Today is monday! and..Mr Chu, our econs HOD has to tell us to come back to school at 1.45 on next tuesday for a mock econs exam! T.T of all days, it has to be marking day! WTH WTH WTH. There goes my much awaited break.

oops! i kinda veered off topic (again). Okay last night was pure...tiring -.- of all things i had to dream of, i had to dream of me being in an action movie flick. well thats what happens when you keep watching war videos, browsing combat stuffs online..well i have been checking out military stuffs nowadays. Its like certain periods of my life, i would be checking out different stuffs. Last week was a mix between guns and cars -.- typical guy eh? Still browsing LEGO though! :D looking for more inspirations for my year-end-project. Probably rob a bank to have some nice capital to start with xP. kiddinggggg. oh speaking of war videos, i watched LOADS of homecoming videos. :) man its so touching to see all the US soldiers return home to their families, especially when they spring a surprise on em! :D lemme share some~

This is one um...a dog and a soldier xD but its still very touching!!


This one is like a mix of everything!


wohoo! this one is cool!


absolutely touching eh! Damn now you know what i do during study breaks :P ah over the course of studying for the a levels in the school library, i have learnt that watching hilarious videos isnt so much of a good idea :)

OH YEAH speaking of that dream...well its like i was running around like mad, punching, kicking, ducking. Jumping from place to place, i even dreamnt i was running up and down an airplane fighting off terrorists. sheeesh how retarded. OMG just sooo much stuffs! and guess what! when i woke up in the middle of the night, i wasnt on my bed -.- SO MUCH FOR SLEEPWALKING EH. oh and my pillows, they were...kinda messed up. pffft and guess what! i ended up so tired this morning, i was like a zombie! took a power nap in between chemistry and econs exams and i was all good to go again. :) well now im dead tired...hopefully tomorrow would be a lot better :)

darn the prelims.

OKAY. Prelims is officially getting really boring! not the exam itself..neverrrr..its the process of revising for it D: the prelims are always so tough! definietly wish i have a lot more time to study for it..and here i am blogging! so ironic. but anywayyy im using the school's computer to blog! pffft just typing up to here is already a pain. the keyboard keys are so stiff! ouch to my fingers!

They should like grant me citizenship for the library man. i have been camping here for days and nights..and it is beginning to get a bit boring...well i dont really have the chance to talk to anyone since i confine myself in the cubicle..(NOT the toilet cubicle) there is like no one to talk to! unlike when there is still class ongoing :) luckily, arriving early in school at about 7.30am allows me to have free time to go running and slack around! its like i suffer from "monday blues" every morning -.- tsk!

actually, i feel like discussing some controversial issues now! :D feeling pretty GP-ish. But yet, i do not have the chance to start blabbering about such issues due to time contraint :( gotta go prepare for my Physics and economics exams tomorrow! T.T pray hard i can answer all those questions in the exams tomorrow man...hehe im reading some naruto manga at the same time :P its like i so deprived of such stuffs man..all thanks to the A levels.

Good news is...i have about 55 more days to the A levels!
Bad news is...i have about 55 more days to the A levels!

im really afraid i wont be able to do well, despite of my current efforts! really putting in my maximum, hope i reap the same too! :) hopefully life is fair this time round! xD and if life isnt fair, i hope that it gives me more than what i deserve wohooo!! 

ahh i really wanna get a new xperia! hehehe now im using the x10 and its so-so. performance definitely is a far cry from the xperia arc and xperia ray..never gonna get an iphone because of its camera..i really want a good camera phone! :)



the new blogger layout thing when you post entries is just so different. weird...gotta get used to it! i wanna play lego, i wanna do plastic modelling..i wanna play piano..ah i miss my hobbies.

BIG N TASTY


Today, i tried the new Macdonalds burger and its goood!! =D it is by far one of my favourite burgers! along with the Filet-o-fish and McSpicy! or is it McChicken..ah! its all the same. pffft. just as fattening. But because i was really sick of school food, i forced my friends to eat at mac with me instead! xD I am so not buying the claim that Macdonalds has zero cholesterol vegetable oil :P yeah yeah its that piece of paper on the tray. frankly speaking, im not a big fan of mac because of their fattening meals, but when they have something new that is not barbecued, count me in man! im sure to try it! okay lets get down to business!

Big 'n' Tasty burger meal is priced at SG$7.95...like seriously, dear macdonalds, please get rid of the 5 cents please! just charge us $7.90. For God's sake we have enough 5 cents already! moreover we cant possibly buy anything with it. even water costs $0.80.

first thing i did to this burger, was compare it to the quarter pounder! this is ALOT better than both the quarter pounder and the double quarter! i personally find the quarter pounder too oily. its like SOAKED in oil! i bet this patty was too..but at least you have vegetables (lots of it) and some slices of tomatoes to go with it :) so at least it doesnt feel so sinful! the sauce that they used was good too! tell ya more later :P  Presenting to you...the Big N Tasty burger!!!


Just look at the amount of veggie on it! i think i can guess how the preparation line is like. ..just before the top loaf is put, loads of lettuce is dumped on it and the sauce used to stick em onto the burger!











There ya go! that huge burger! Frankly speaking it isnt as "value for money" as the quarter pounder. Reason being the price difference is about 50 cents? and you get more veggie and some tomato. ACTUALLY, i thought the burger was HUGE, i cant remember what the burger was called..what double big mac? something like that. it was a mammoth burger! but this isnt. its just the same size as a quarter pounder. Even though it isnt that worth, i will still buy this burger over the quarter pounder because it doesnt feel as sinful or queasy after eating all those oil-filled patties.



I like the idea of having some veggies and tomatoes slotted in the burger! i HATE pickles though. wonder who eats em...totally spoils the taste of the burger. Ah yeah there is cheese too! usual stuff. and the special sauce that they flood it with on the lettuce!









NOW FOR THE SAUCE. i have seriously NO idea what is the sauce, looks like thousand island sauce and tastes abit like it though! Dont know if you can see the sauce in between...but oh well! thats all i have! i didnt take anymore photos :) only took some snapshots of it! Its really delicious!


The sauce goes very well with the burger as a whole, everything is pretty nicely proportioned. you dont get a very bad balance like the quarter pounder where its just meat and cheese. Its a burger worth trying but its not so worth on the price side! oh yeah, i didnt upsize my meal because they would have given me too many fries. Nice new burger, im lovin' it!

oh wait....there goes my 2.4km morning run D: NOOOOOOO!!!! 
looks like i have some "catching up" to do. tsk!

Fattening Holidays

ahhh lets see, its day 2 of the holidays and man im like suffering from withdrawal systoms due to the lack of exercise! kinda retarded -.- like just keep falling sick! hmmm dad just changed laptop, so im using his new one! :) bouncy keyyyys!

prelims is just 5 days away! so dead, so dead. and guess what! i actually took an hour to solve this darn math question that was worth like 10 marks. 10 FREAKIN marks! and i took so long T.T damn vectors man...i hate doing those stupid prelim papers..not stupid but rather, so darn clever. zzzz it super irritates me when i know that i know how to solve the question, but i just cant! zzz. if i seriously have totally no idea where to start, then yes i wont be that pissed off. but if its something that i already know, then DAMN.

but hey! little to my surprise that mocpages is back up! :D yes im a LEGO fan and mocpages is awesomeeee! well...these few months, loads of people began streaming into LEGO and it seems to me as though it it not just catching the attention of teens and adults in the USA, but also in my country Singapore, LOADS of people are catching on to this (expensive) hobby. frankly speaking, its WAYYYY overpriced in SG. :( but hey! when i popped by the LEGO store near my house, most of the customers were working adults! on their lunch breaks :P haha if you are a lego fan and you have no idea what is mocpages, you gotta check it out~! click here for Mocpages! really really cool lego creations there :) i get my inspiration from there too!

okayyyy im still preparing for my A levels..darn! and prelims is coming up, gonna be a killer 2 weeks for me! T.T all those tough and demoralising papers.... :/ i really do hope my efforts pay off for the A levels, which is the most important exam of my life..yes its more important than my driving test!

ah but still, i cant help but think of LEGO! xD alreayd have a plan after my a levels...hehehe. Here is my plan! =D pretty ambitious..
1. build a new lego model and probably install lights in it! definitely gonna be my own creation..sort of. usually i start off with a base set. like my previous creation, (the one below) i used emperor palpatine's shuttle as a base kit.
Photobucket
AAAND, my new creation is gonna be based off this set!
Photobucket
it's like 300 bucks.. D: lots of saving to do! plus $50 budget for lightings etc etc. and another $50 for spare parts + maybe paint? if the parts come in werid colors. plus my new bricks are running low..

ooooo! today in my garden, there was a pleasant surprise! =D

Photobucket
hahahaha my orchids bloomed :) saw another batch gonna bloom too~~

Space Painting! :D so gonna try it~

wohoo! today i found something really interestingggggg~! its called space painting! well...its basically painting space using spray paint :) sounds simple but man! its really tough! plus i think its gonna be damn expensiveeee. oh great x.x i wish spray painting is alot cheaper :/

ah a picture paints a thousand words, a video paints a million words! :D lemme show ya a video on what its like..frankly speaking, i think its gonna be pretty tough trying to get the materials in Singapore..probably can try art friend :/


ITS JUST SO COOL!!but...the start up costs sure arent cheap! plus definitely i need lots of practice..

here is another one!!

after peeking through google, i found out you actually need gloss paper x.x where in the world am i supposed to find one?! or shall i make it? :P

hmmm....spray paint isnt a problem, all those extra bits aint a prob too..just the paper. and the COST. TSK! welllll probably i should just stick to plastic modelling and lego eh? probably im venturing too far out~overly ambitious..grah!

ahhhh i so thought today was going to be a boring day but i was wrong ^^ okay i have killed enough time, time to head to bed~!
nights world! *shoots down the sun*

Night study and more LEGO!!

wohoo! so now this is about MY life! hehehe its pretty cool when my name's initials are M and Y :P Ming Yang. how cool is that>?! Mid Year Sales = MY sales woot! ah well talking about shopping, its been so long ever since i stepped out of the compounds of school and house :P its just always this area. life just functions around these 2 places! freakishly, i spend more time in school than at home! thats a Singaporean student life :) but one thing that is for sure, i ENJOY my junior college life! no matter how stressful it is, in terms of workloads and all those tests and exams, we always have friends around who are all in the same boat :) oh but only a meagre 1/4 makes it into the local universities after the A levels..which means the other 3/4 probably got swept off the boat by some tidal wave or got seduced by some mermaid and drown or just got eaten up by some sea serpent.

The reason why i spend more time at school that at home, is partly because of night study. which means... i reach school at about 7:30am, i have lessons/study till 9pm :) i so do not want this life to end..seriously! i really do enjoy all the accompany i have in school, knowing that everyone is in the same situation and striving hard. camaraderie people! camaraderie! usually i stay in the library throughout, and i have a break for a cup of free milo! :D here's a photo of how its like during night study..well..when im breaking :P

Photobucket
oh that's my friend's phone...and guess what! she used my phone to take a photo of me, which is why i have this photo..then she hacked my facebook account -_-''' ah but i did just the exact same thing! im actually holding her phone instead, updating her status :P teehee!

when i got home last friday, i saw a big plastic bag on my table! turned out to be LEGO!! mum bought more lego! rather, he colleague helped her to buy more!

Photobucket
these are old sets, but they went on a 30% discount. in SG, LEGO is expensive~! with such discounts, its a total rip off! if only the prices could drop T.T why is the sing dollar strengthening against the greenback but yet the prices arent dropping?! what happened to the economics theories?!

okay okay back to topic, so after a nice and refreshing bath, i was all ready to fix my new lego!!

Photobucket
these are the 2 sets up close! cant really see them in the previous position..

Photobucket
hehehe all these parts...it makes me feel like going on another big LEGO project! :D oh wait but come to think of it, i seriously need a base expansion! D: not enough parking slots for everything! ships/scooters, every space is utilised to the maximum already! problem is i probably have to expand upwards.. terrible! as in i will need LOTS of bricks and parts to ensure the whole structure is steady x.x and tall enough for huge ships to park..

Photobucket
*fast forwards* thats the first set done! :D what for show the building process eh? -.- pretty normal stuff..

Photobucket
haha! the good old scooter part being used for the snow speeder! innovative indeed! :D *lightbulb!* maybe its time to convert all those scooters of mine into snow speeders! xD and make a huge transport ship that drops em off!

Photobucket
currently broke, no $$ so im relying on kind-hearted contributions into my lego collection! hopefully one day, ONE DAY! it becomes an empire..that would be so coool...

i will probably post a photo of the current lego collection i have some other time.. tsk now i just expanded into this new table :P as usual hogging up all the tables and chairs in the house xD so far i converted the place into this runway kinda thing..even though i intend to make SUPER SHORT runways! :D whats the point when most of the "ships" vertically take off right? long runways that are meant for planes are just gonna waste space~something i dont really have now. so probably have to start thinking how to expand up! but before that, i must strengthen the base colummns.. dont what them toppling! plus now, the HUGE ship that i have completed, can store 2 scooters! =D not to mention it has a HUGE bombing bay. really proud of that creation~! will upload more photos of it on the "runway".. its currently packed with loads of lego minifigs =.= have yet to create another "holding place" for em. built a shoddy bridge connecting the 2 tables! and it folds up! to let peeps walk by~ its only 2 studs long..which means if there are 2 lego minifigs walking in opposite directions, one has to push the other off the cliff.

my proud lego creation!
Photobucket
its WAYYY too heavy and big to park anywhere in the base.

long way down my friend! will post photos ^^

JC2's farewell gift

at first i wanted to combine everything into one post! but i just found it too messy, so i decided to split it up :)

first up is the farewell gift from the JC2s to the JC1s! well... since this is the final year in the school and we would not be wearing the school tie anymore, most of us decided to troll the J1s by choosing this new tie design that was really bright and striking! its a thick-striped tie, really really thinck strips, probably an inch thick. and the tie donned the colours of the school emblem, red black and white! it was either that tie, or another that was just a simple black tie, that matches with the school pants/skirt with the school emblem at the corner of the tie. both ties are slim ties, unlike the ones that we are having now..the super fat ones =.=

to simply (and nicely) put it, its one professional looking tie against one light-hearted tie :P there were 2 other designs that didnt really appeal to the cohort..so its just down to these ties! couldnt find any pictures of those ties... hopefully when its out i shall get a copy of em :P

the now what happens is that the fugly tie, the brightly coloured one got chosen because most of the JC2s trolled the J1s by voting for the ugly tie and now the J1s are unhappy about it! lol! ah without the pictures, it really is tough to explain. but hey! this is one more interesting story from my junior college life! =D
