It's been a pretty crazy weekend, with lots of events going on, it sure was hectic and i am still reeling in from the crazy timetable of mine! its pretty unforgiving but whatever. Saturday morning was spent having brunch with my family, LIKE FINALLY. minus my brother as he got charged with SOL in BMT. Soon after i rushed down to catch the autograph session with Kunio Okawara. Yeah i was one of the 100 early birds to purchase the SG50 RX78 model and managed to get his autograph!!! So glad that i am able to hold such a valuable piece now :) soon after, i had a birthday dinner with Elyana and company before rushing home, sleeping for an hour and rushing for Xplorer War! i shall cover everything else in my next post, this post will purely be on Gundam Docks! I guess you can call this part 2?


There are really a crazy lot of people streaming through the Gundam Docks fair, with many onlookers at the upper floor too! This is at the basement of Ngee Ann City just in case you dont know. The event will also be running for an extended period, with massive slashing of prices there! so if you have been craving for that PG gundam, my advice is get it here!!! a 20% discount is a massive killer off the price of a PG that is well over $300 aye?

but beyond that, i wasnt so keen on the models as i have grabbed whatever i would have wanted on the previous day that i came. Instead, i was here to see the mechanic designer of gundam, Mr Kunio Okawara!!! You can pretty much call him the father of Gundam, inventing the very first gundam, the RX78 which is also used as the SG50 model kit! here, i managed to get a close shot of the man himself all thanks to my 35x zoom camera! hmm also, i took 2 videos of him describing the design of the SG50 variant. The side that wasn't published. Many of us would already know the inspiration and train of thought when he designed the SG50 model but he shared more in-dept in this interview session!


There were also metal build gundam kits up on display, which looked really sweet, and would definitely be a great addition to your collection! especially if you do not have the time or expertise to painstakingly assemble and paint up a model kit of your own. :) this is probably the most detailed you can get it to be out of the box!


Once again, i post this picture of the porter merchandizes!! i absolutely loved them when i first saw them on day one and have been eyeing them ever since. Well now, thanks to my parents, i am able to eye them at home!! i bought the red zeon wallet for myself, replacing the old Braun Buffel passport holder as my wallet for so many months. Legitly speaking, they make really REALLY good wallets for men especially if you hold little cards and want quick access to your cash. Say hello to Porter Label oh yeah!! I am so happy that my parents bought the red laptop bag for me wohoo!!!! which then goes perfectly with my wallet now, i couldnt have wished for anything better than this man :) absolutely absolutely in LOVE with it! the colour is so lush and nice, and it can become a backpack too! tried and tested yesterday :) Really really lucky and blessed to have such parents man


Among the other things up for sale were also display artworks done by Kunio Okawara, sme of them brought back old memories of gundam in me! I found the gallery particularly interesting, although people were mainly crowded at the merchandises. Few people were spotted at the gallery observing and appreciating his part artworks! its pretty amazing how he can hand draw all of these!!?!


Here, you can see a portrait of the SG50 gundam that he designed.




How to tell that the earth federation forces will always be loved more than the zeon gundam mobile suits....

the EFSF Rx78 that many gundam fans will be clearly aware of!

As compared to the poor Zeon Zaku that seems to be missing out on all the camera flashes :( I dont know but ever since young, i have always preferred the earth federation forces. However it was only in recent years that i really fell in love with the zaku mobile suits :) they actually do look a whole lot awesome too yknow!


There is a whole story behind the Earth Federation and Sig Zeon Forces. Of which you really have to read up and watch the animes to find out more. There's at least over a hundred Gundam Anime episodes for you to watch, each one spanning different eras. But what is most interesting is the ideologies that they deal with in the anime. It's pretty much covering more on the worries of the future, when the earth begins to run out of natural resources, etc etc. Weaponry in the future, ideals, all of these stuff are discussed and depicted in the anime! So if you have the time and passion to watch anime, i strongly strongly recommend watching all of gundam anime episodes, starting off with Gundam Seed!

Here are the little snippets of the interview with the man, and i only uploaded the portion when he talked about his inspiration of the SG50 model kit! the rest....i have the rest of the interview in my computer xD




Ironically, there's a mercedes car up on display on ground floor as Kunio Okawara shares on his inspiration of the SG50 model.


and of course, the model kit that was signed by him OH YEAH
