I am a university student who loves chocolate! Coffee is my best buddy when it comes to taking on my finals. I have a tendency to want to try and do so many different things at once and as a result, I've found my hobbies to be as such!
Nerfing is one of them, but aside from that, I also love arts and craft. I have my own startup, Thumbforlego at: where I sell my works! 
I love to do all sorts of crafting, so you will see me uploading posts of my leathercrafts, thumbdrives, replica guns, nerf gun modifications and gundam models! I'm fortunate enough to be blessed by really supportive parents and given the chance to explore many, many parts of the world and try out a plethora of activities. This is also how I discovered my love for film photography, videography and piano. 
The film photo above is unedited! My family loves cold countries xD. We managed to catch the northern lights twice! 
I've also gotten the chance to experience many of nature's wonders 
And my most freezing experience to date: riding a husky ski sled into the sunset (It was -38 to -40 degrees celsius and the huskies were pretty fast.)

Why 36000feetabove? This is the altitude that commercial planes cruise at and I have always loved the view up in the sky, being amongst the sea of clouds. :) Personally, my favourite favourite food has got to be airplane buns! Does anyone else feel the same way?! With a slice of butter and looking out of the window, I have yet to find an experience that can beat that. 
After tomorrow, before today

Ah GREAT. Photobucket still isnt working for me! D: so looks like i have to stick to the sluggish blogger uploader for photos.. now i am trying out picasa..aint any faster man! i have like 33 photos to upload...looks like i have to postpone blogging to tml or some other time~! darn photos.. i had a pretty enjoyable time today! indulged in making a gun replica. From a m4 no a HK416 :) Monday, September 26, 2011
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!
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

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 :) Thursday, September 15, 2011
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.

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! 
oh wait....there goes my 2.4km morning run D: NOOOOOOO!!!!

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.  AAAND, my new creation is gonna be based off this set!  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  hahahaha my orchids bloomed :) saw another batch gonna bloom too~~ Labels: Holiday 2011, lego |
