MS-05B Zaku I Black Trinity

Started modelling around a year ago and I guess it will be great if I were to post something related to my hobby. This is MS-05B Zaku I Black Trinity from the original Gundam series. This is my first kit for year 2007. Hope to build more if time permits. =D

Game for life

Not everybody will realize this but I am actually a gamer. I love gaming as if it is a second nature to me.



Yes… you got me right… I am guilty… It is something that I have realized myself just recently. If there is a game and there are challenges, I will always take up the fight. I have been playing online games, PS2 games, PC games, card games, board games and etc but I never realized the truth not until my friends cum colleagues told me about it.



It all happens during the Valentine Day. I went out for a “date” with 2 of my lovely colleagues on a errrr… single steamboat party. It is safe to say that it is actually a party for losers. =P Hopefully no one reads about this. We have a great time with the steamboat and later on we went to Yacht Club to play a board game call MAD. As the game implies it, this is supposed to be a funky game. It was nostalgic. I remember playing this game once in primary school. Some well-off kids brought it during a midterm break and they actually let a not so popular kid such as me to join them. We have a lot of fun and those were the days…



Flashing back to Valentine Day. It was fun in the beginning since everyone was not used to the rule of the game but I have the advantage of playing this game before. It was so long ago that I thought I will most probably forget about it. To my surprise, the game was rather familiar. I was paired with Farrah who does not know anything about that game. Guess that is the only handicap that I get but I should actually go a little easy on the game. =P To know more about this MAD board game, you should google it out. I bet this game still exist till today.



Well you see, when I start to play a game, I will switch to my gaming mode. At that moment, I will play the game based on a single rule that I always followed throughout all my other games, I “play to win”. Well, I guess that is my fault. =P I was being told that I am taking the game too seriously. Most of the people around the table said that I was too focused with the game which takes out the surprise and fun factor out of the game. I guess they are actually right on that. =P.



Forward to Lunar Year, I went out along with some of my friends to “raid” houses for red packets. We were all gathered in of our house and started to play some card games. All of us are considered as goodie-two-shoes so we did not gamble (or too poor to actually gamble). To add some thrill into the game, we impose a punishment to the loser. The loser has to eat a piece of those fried crackers. =D It was rather fun looking at all those different reaction. =P



Even though I did not have that much fun playing MAD, I actually enjoy the company. =D Guess I should go out more “dates” =D.

Thailand Trip Part 1

Dear Blog,



I started the day off early today. It is a big day for me since I will have to travel to Bangkok, Thailand for the first day of the “Second International Agarwood Conference”. I have been looking forward to this trip dating back as early as the first day of the Lunar Year. I was reluctant to leave at first because there are so many things that I have to catch up on. I need to complete my Zaku Black Trinity, play some of those Planar Chaos league game, and finish SRW Alpha 3 as soon as possible and a lot more.



I have to travel for almost 1 day but it was worth it. I have always enjoyed traveling alone. This is how I think everyone should enjoy their life. Now I know why those European/American like to travel so much.



I touched down in Bangkok International airport around 1630. There is quite a lot of procedure to go through. Cannot imagine what will happen if I actually lost my passport somewhere. =P I was eager to go out of to see the Bangkok. To my surprise, Bangkok is more or less the same with Malaysia. The people look the same, even the smell of the atmosphere is the same. The only thing that might give out the similarity is all those billboard and signboard, which is in Thai.



I got a ride to Chaophya Park Hotel, which is a nice hotel. During the welcome party at night, I was able to meet quite a lot of people. I got to enjoy a nice hot bath, which is so relaxing. It is going to be a big day tomorrow…



To be continued…
