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

hey hey this weekend was pretty interesting! last week was just LOADS of last minute rushing out of work, suddenly people began dropping bombs on one another. sigh luckily, i survived World War 3DA, and now i find myself pretty much slacking everyday! (the whole week is audit period) Seriously not used to slacking that much, as in literally having no work to do. Too bad it's a lot harder to "sneakily" do up my model kits because we are supposed to be following the training programme pretty rigidly for the whole of this week. Phew, luckily it's just this week, if not we are all gonna dieeeee. lunch break is literally lunch and back to whatever you need to do. which really sucks. :( but on the other brighter side, we get to be attached to signal platoon which is a lot more slack than Alpha battery! (yay for no extra work!) plus this whole week, we're gonna see ourselves appearing in the gym soon after lunch break and yeah gym for 3 hours. errrrr....but hey! what's there to complain about when you have the freedom to exercise instead of doing work or having to always be in the office!seriously there are 5 signallers, one of us is a total slacker, and incek (warrant officer) doesn't make him guard the office. Instead, he insists that we do so and we get arrowed more work to do. so much for being diligent in doing work! #nomotivation*AFA=Anime Festival Asia* AFA is an event that you CANNOT miss!!!! This week was AFA weekend!! :D If you havent been to an AFA event, then that would be so wasted! It's really really fun to see so many people dressing up as whichever anime characters or whatsoever here and there. I've been so busy lately in camp that it totally brushed my mind. I only got to hear snippets of it happening 'soon'. Little did i know that it was THIS soon! luckily, and coincidentally, the AFA was held in Suntec convention centre! just a floor below my church LOL so i found out about AFA when i went earlier to book seats xD hahaha judging from the sheer number of model kits that i am always building, oh oh in fact, its getting kinda ridiculous because i have 2 kits that have yet to be fixed, one is still in the process, extremely slow process, and i just bought another xD the kit was an AFA special, the Valvrave1, metallic coat ver! it was seriously too tempting to not get it. :P and there goes HALF of my personal budget that i can use after setting aside $$ for Arise and Build. So far... ANYWAY, it's so awesome to be able to see so many cosplayers dressed up in their awesome costumes!! i saw some really epic ones, like a tetris block, as well as a guy dressed up as hentai-kamen! i think THAT is the only time you can wear so skimply and not get caught by the security, although one cosplayer girl who dressed up as Ryuko in Kill La Kill had the police called on her. zzz seriously the actions and reaction of the auntie (or woman for the western country readers) is uncalled for. And it is a cosplay event afterall. What's the point of going to the event knowing that there is a probability of such stuff that ticks you off, happening? The original thread from Hardware Zone, as well as the cosplayer. I really applaud the cosplayer to being really able to portray the character really well and being daring enough to pull off something like this! other than that crazy hentai-kamen guy.. i feel like trying cosplaying! :D but it's so expensive... moreover, it's so troublesome to make the costume let alone the whole outfit... but it seems so fun! talk about learning how to do all the poses and stuff... i took some photos with the cosplayers using my xperia Z though! :D a pity i didnt have my camera with me during that time :/ This year, Valvrave the Liberator and Attack on Titans are the really 'in season' animes. Especially for Attack on Titan, i can say close to a good 10-15% of the cosplayers actually cosplayed as the recon troopers along with the 3D manoeuvre gear. i seriously had no idea that so many people would be crazy enough to do up that prop! SORRY GUYS I JUST REALISED MY POSE FOR MOST OF THE PHOTOS ARE THE SAME. NO IDEA WHYYYYY  That's Yuuno from Mirai Nikki!! I was head over heels when i saw a girl cosplay her, because not many people know about the anime! it's a pretty disturbing anime, for those who are keen on watching it. very disturbing. Parents were beginning to doubt my sanity. 
And then, there is Asuno from Sword Art Online! I also only saw 1 cosplayer dressing up as her... no idea why eh O.o though i saw like 3 Kiritos.
Ahhhhhhh see that green bandage around my right arm? i went to donate blood after mixing with the AFA crowd! Church had a blood donation drive, a pity they didnt really talk much about it during the announcements. Ended up very few people actually donated blood :( ended up having a really fast processing when i wanted to donate blood lmao. went to volunteer for bone marrow too! Apparently i was feeling pretty weak before church service started, but still went ahead to donate blood after service since there are very few opportunities for me to donate. rather, the blood donation centre is at the other end of the island, hence i will never go there! Woah the feeling wasn't good alright! felt really weak after draining out a bag of blood. seriously not a good idea to donate blood when you're already feeling weak. Luckily, i didnt feel dizzy at all, and that is how my 5th blood donation went! :D Even though i was complaining 3 months ago for the absurdly long queue for blood donation, now, i would rather have that insane long queue in front of me, knowing that lots more people are donating blood. i mean like how would you feel if one day our blood banks actually ran dry and we aren't prepared for an emergency or whatsoever!
Going back to AFA, i got a chance to see some new model kits that would be probably released soon? i dont know. IMO, they look more like fan-made artworks, though i saw the grey-ed, uncompleted version online before the AFA.
  Nahhh the model kits don't interest me. plus i dont really have much budget for this period! Shuks almost everything inside had to be paid in cash, and it was so agonising that i went on the last day, as almost everything was sold out, obviously the nicer items were cleared off the shelves and having little cash with me, all i could do was to buy an Attack on Titan shirt which was RED in colour :'( not even that traditional GREEN D;
Look at that!! that's the singer Elisa! :D
I really really wanted to buy merchandise on guilty crown, especially posters since for music, i can simply grab em off the internet, whereas for posters, having them shipped over doesn't sound so much of a good idea judging by how fragile posters can get. JUST LOOK AT THAT GUILTY CROWN POSTER OF INORI. D: NOOOOOOOOOO *draws out void from self*
 Just LOOK at the crowd!! last year, the event was held at Singapore Expo, and what happens is that the cosplayers posing for cameramen and public pretty much had to share the convention space, making it extremely squeezy! however this time round, because it's held at suntec, there is this open space available at level 3, and it's air conditioned! this is the area where my cell group usually chills after service :) Then the exhibition hall is on level 4! not bad eh? so actually because of this kind of even which sees lots of people cosplaying, i really find this place a lot more suitable than expo as then the cosplayer crowd wouldn't be squeezing with the shoppers in the exhibition hall! Kudos to the planning commitee! (y) though i dont know if they thought of this/intended it to be this way. WOHOO ENJOY THE PHOTOS. okay maybe i shall add a caption for each photograph... now this is where those anime fan boys can start to identify the anime characters! Seriously somehow i find it weird to ask cosplayers if i can have a photo with em O.o even though they are constantly posing for photographers.  That's....Hatsune Miku! WOOT WOOT GUESS WHO I MET!!!! my secondary school friend, Ying Ying!! :D :D I kinda saw her talking about it on facebook during my really busy week and voila~! here, you see the archery instructor from Maplestory!! (forgot name) hahahah ahhhhh i didnt know Maplestory is still alive, thought its filled with Ah bengs and Ah lians.. erm Singaporean slang for....overly egoistic people? *shrugs shoulders* for the western readers' understanding..    Ahhhhhh.....(insert name) from Fairy Tale! dont know why i cant recall, oh well. NEXT!  And finally, we have someone who cosplayed i dont know who from Black Rock Shooter! :D Seriously i know the anime is like 3 episodes of 15minutes each, dont know if it's longer, but that's all there was when i watched in and since when did this character appear?? O.o If you haven't watched Black Rock Shooter, go watch it!!! It's an anime series that only lasts for a shocking 45minutes if i didnt remember wrongly... or was it 3x30mins. Something along those lines. Really short, but so far, its my favourite anime! :D you know why i cancelled the portion about the building progress of the model kit? BECAUSE I AM DONEEEE WITH THE MODEL KITTTTT HAHAHAH :D :D will do a post on it soon! (y) first time building a valvrave, read what i have to say about it soon! |
