Proud to be a child of God, a faithful son (I hope lol) a trying to be hardworking student, a part-time worker, a nerf/milsim enthusiast, a crafting and music lover and an awesome friend. to you :) Hope you have an enjoyable time reading about my life, as much as I have fun living it! |

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

Recently, Gundam has released a new series which is Gundam Build Fighters!!
Previously, they had Gundam Age, which was kinda weird... and kinda too futuristic to my liking. Obviously mecha shows are futuristic, but sometimes the plot and stuff just seem too weird. The entire series of Gundam Age actually played through 3 generations of main characters which is...an overkill, though its a nice idea. The concept of Gundam Build Fighters is that people build Gunpla models, like meeee! :D and they put it on this battle system which creates a battle playing field. Kinda like a mash-up with Warhammer40k for those who are familiar with that game. For a clearer picture, or idea, you can watch the first episode HERE!! Best part is that now, the anime are in HD quality, so they are crystal clear! LOL how HD can anime get anyway, but i just love the crispness of the whole video :) Anime fans will know that when you watch various animes online, like the HUGELY popular Attack on Titans, you tend to watch it in i think 760p? Click the link to watch the first episode or, you can read on about my blabbering about gunpla, a lil on warhammer40k and model kits! Other than the gunpla factor that Gundam Build Fighters have surprised me with, i found the anime pretty light-hearted, not all those kinda lean mean killing machine or advanced humans, but just a simple school student who is really immersed into Gunpla building and his family owns a shop! Not just about being relate-able, i also did have quite nice laughs here and there especially during episode two. It's a whole new approach of Gundam, veering away from the traditional top-secret high performance mobile suits and whatnot. Even though i was initally pretty sceptical, i thought why not, no harm, just watch the first episode and see how it goes, and instantly fell in love with it! One thing that is really ouch ouch, is that in the battle, when the gundam arm breaks off, IT LITERALLY DOES for the model kit. OWWWWW.....that's the worst thing that can ever happen to a gunpla modeller alright! :(
For a game of warhammer40k, they have players on a battlefield, something like the photo below that i grabbed off google. I should like totally take photo of the battlefield that they have at Funan IT mall. There is this shop called Battle Bunker.
This is the battlefield,
and the players fill up the battlefield with props like mountains or damaged buildings, etc etc and they have a point/bonus system in place. Then they add in their forces/troops. of which i have no idea how! :D all i do with Warhammer40k is to use their expensive but nice and easy-to-use paint. :)
What particularly made me a fan of gundam is the various moral/ethics issues that may arise in the future due to war and conflicts, etc etc. as well as the proliferation of war and the seeking of eternal peace, etc. The later series after SEED, like 00 talks about humans trying to achieve a unified world with zero violence, which is pretty interesting! Gundam Age on the other hand is kinda weird. But i really love the new series, Build fighters, which talks about something very close to the hearts of gundam fans, which is gunpla modelling! Just so happen, i went shopping last weekend and looked at some gundam models, as well as snapped a pic or two, so lemme show you what's it like!
Erm this is how a Gundam Box looks like? provided it is some special version. As in it is not just the usual coloured kinda model kits for this kind. Or they could have clear plastic throughout, etc etc! i mean like why would i take a photo of an ordinary Gundam model kit box aye?
Ahhh i somehow loved how this model was done, so i took a photo of it! size comparison, it is like the size of your palm..?
Currently, i have 2 model kits in camp that are...still inside the box. Haven't found the time to fix them at all because of audit period. I managed to complete one model, the Eternal EX-model kit before this whole audit preparation started. It's still in camp so i cant take photo of it yet, wait for the day i bring it back then yeah! :P Oh and one more is still a Work In Progress. WIP. and yes i am doing these on top of the nerf blaster projects (previous post has some updates on those) that i am currently working on. :D The various photos below are the photos of the last model kit that i did when i was still in BMT, every time i booked out, i would go back home to do up this model kit! i took a total of about 5 month's worth of book out to complete this! :) Ahhhh that's what my table looks like in the past, kinda messy eh? did i tell you that THAT'S my studying table? hahaha that's why i choose to study in school instead. The backdrop....consists of some of the various tools/materials that i use for plastic modelling, i dont always just depend on whatever that is inside the kit. |
