This is a new one for me. Apparently, Kristine's class practices their Chinese writing on this piece of flexible white board. However, after some time, the flexible white board became, um... to flexible and is increasingly creasing. This not only made the whole board dirty but just the notion of using it is very unwelcoming.And so, we, as parents were given the task to find a replacement board. "

When I was younger, without fail, I would go to Pasar Malam as often as I can. This was because at that time, there were no big shopping complexes such as 1-Utama, The Curve, Mid-Valley, etc. All we had was Sungei Wang, Kimisawa (yes, you're guessing my age now) and they're all too far away for me. Heck, at that time, taking the bus was not even an option.And so, my only salvation was the weekly

I went down to Amcorp Mall to have a look at how the Hotz Toy shop is getting along. They were set up by SFTPMS member Silver and his friend, Loke. Hotz Toy deals not only the current toys but also, if you're lucky, toys from the past or, toys which you have 'missed' when they came to Malaysia.OK, so that sounds more like second hand toys to you, right? But trust me, second hand or no, when then

As usual, while Kristine is attending her Martial Arts class, the three of us were left with to our own devices. Unfortunately, the devices at that time were nothing else than your normal everyday writing utensils and sheets of pulped and bleached fibre. Wife on the other hand, had a Toshiba Notebook instead.Sometimes, it is a wonderful experience to look ata child's drawing as their minds are

Nothing much to do today, except to bring the girls to a bookshop as they needed some new stationeries. And so, the best place to go was Popular Bookstore. Since its a Sunday, we decided to try the one at The Curve...One of the things I liked was these new range ofDiaries. The size is quite nice, almost like thoseof Moleskin's.But what really made the book worth it was the covermaterial. Its so

This little girl came back one day with a lot of kittens. How she managed to wrangle this from the owner, was classic. Needless to say, the owner did not have a choice but to relent unless she wants to be seen as the bad person.Yes, although she is happy, but for us parents,this is not a very good thing as we have a lot ofexplaining to do...

I am so used to typing on keyboards that when I need to write something on paper, there is always the problem of its readability. I am a little bit concerned when it affects other people because this means I cannot get my message across. But lately, I am even more alarmed when I myself could not even read my own handwriting. That's how bad the situation has become.I am so used to just typing

I was on the way to visiting a customer when I passed by the Kenanga International Building. What caught my eye was this display of the new Land Rover Evoque. Its a very imaginative way of displaying a new model without having to show the whole thing.The outline of the model would create a sense of curiosity for those who really wants to see the model when it really comes out. Either that or they

What's a few sens, you ask? To some, its just spare change from recent purchases. To others, its just coins. But to a select few, especially MAKNA, it could mean a difference. True or not, with so much news about charities, its up to you to decide. I was given this by one of my customers. Its a paper coin box which you fold it yourself.

Finally, I have some breathing space! So, the cogs in my mind was running loose and came up with a lighting idea. This was because I had bought one of those Mechanical Bases from Infinite Creation Workshop sometime ago, during its 1st year Anniversary Sale. The thing is, lighting for a small scale diorama is not that difficult. It is only so when you start to think that all the lights must be

Just for the sake of being there, I dropped by Amcorp Mall today. This is one of the places which comes alive during the Weekends due to the bazaar. On normal days, the only excitement would be that of the 9-5 species.Anyway, after returning to this mall for so many years, its really starting to take off. The lighting and deco has improved a lot and not only that, you do not have that abandoned

Today is a very special day for those who can remember what it was. But if you're the one with the shotgun marriage, then I feel sorry for you. And Tamagotchi owners do not count too. Not only that, this is one of the few times in the year I feel appreciated, something which I am starting to enjoy...This is what the girls made for meAnd I am so happy..... wee.....!

On a boring night such as tonight, the girls had nothing to do and so, after some much tinkering, I decided to give them something new... No, its not this Christmas ornament... Nor the homemade Father's day cards... Nor another round of mangoes... Oh, OK. Another round of mangoes, then But once the mangoes are gone, the night was still young and so, I brought out a toy for Kaelynn. Actually, it

"This is going to be a very nice kit", I keep telling myself. Well, it HAS to be a very nice kit. Why?Let me tell you this. When I buy plastic kits, I try to make sure they do not break the RM100.00 border. Which is not a problem with Chinese or Korean kits such as HobbyBoss, Academy and even Trumpeter. And as such when I saw this model, the M977 HEMTT (Heavy expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) by

This is the model ship that came from Australia. And its free. Yep, you hear me, its free. This was because a Forum member from did not want it and was willing to give it to anyone who wants it rather then going into a bin.To cut a long story short, I wanted it, and because he lives in Australia, I got the girls's fav Aunt to bring it with me when she comes over.

Today is ICW's (Infinite Creation Workshop and not Idiots Comedy Week) very own first Anniversary. All of you would be asking; "Was it that long?". But to tell you the truth, if Raymond says its that long, then its that long. And because its the first Anniversary, there would be a generous discounts on the goods that you purchase. But there is a catch. Any purchases made between 6pm to 930pm will

Yes, the Sale is on. But then, this time, it was sort of a ho-hum affair for me. I had missed out the last one and so, its not a big deal anymore. Still, today, I decided to have a go...Panoramic shot of Litt Tak warehouse from the Nokia n8As usual, the main attraction was theGundam model kits. I was so excitedabout them, I almost forgot that evenwith the sales prices, ICW's was waymuch cheaper.

While we were on the Penang trip, I happened to come across these little die-cast cars. What is so interesting is that these designs were based on the Ben10 cartoon characters.

And so, I took a Holiday. Yep, you heard me. I took a Holiday. Under the extreme advice of the Home Ministry, of course. I was not so keen on taking one because there was so much work to do and this year, its a very difficult year for me, mentally and... well, let's just stop at the mental part.

Its been years since I've been to XL-Shop's HQ in Ampang. In fact, its close to almost ten years. The very first time I was there, it was like suddenly, as if I was in Santa's place. But in reality, I know this wasn't true because unlike Santa's place, this one has price tags. Everything and anything was there and wel.. heck... its just there.Personally, it was more of a time machine for me too.

This is one of the fastest delivery I have ever got. It arrive in less than a week. But then again, this is from Singapore. But if it was up to me, I can get it in less than a day.

The problem with relatives is that when the girls 'asks' for stuff, they actually gave them. Not because they are cousins or what but well, kids being kids are very direct.

Today is the day we all go shopping for fish in a fishing village. Not much is known about this place (Bagan Pasir) but I was made to realise that most of my Sister in Laws get them from there. For years.Anyway, the plan is simple. we must be at the meeting area within a certain time where everyone will then move off in a single car. But before that, we need to have lunch first but unfortunately,

This is the problem with me. I was passing through an anime shop and they were showing this on the screen. It looked very exciting and nice. So, without checking further about it, I grabbed the case and paid for it,Its a story about two soldiers (Packy and Botasky) who were tasked to rescue some hostages in Iran and due to some unforseen circumstances, one had to stay behind to buy more time.

I found these at Shiok Toys's bargain bin, and I could not resist since I do not have a Western set.

I have started to look high and low for a lot of 1/20 and 1/24 scale figures because of the Ma.K fever. And so, finally, I found out that Tamiya has a set of very nice 1/24 Rally Driver figures (89610-Discontinued), which was originally meant for a Peugeot 206 Rally car (24236). And thanks to eBay, this was the only way I could get them.And so, after a few day's I got this package.

I got this at XL-Shop while being at The Empire (instead of the Border Break models). And man, I wanted this straight away even though I still have to pay for it first. What is so interesting is that Koto (short for Kotobukiya, my term) has come up with a lot of accessories for those robot models. especially Gundams.

You know what happened next after coming away from the Shah Alam Panasonic stadium? That's right. We did not go home. Instead, we went for lunch at the Empire. Initially, the plan was to go home and snore until midnight but because everyone was hungry, I 'accidentally' took a detour and ended up at The Empire (that did not strike back *ahem*)[I don't even understand that joke either]So, guess

Today is Kaelynn's Sports Day and we're quite excited to get there. However, our enthusiasm sort of faded when it was revealed that its going to be the same Panasonic Stadium in Shah Alam. The first time we were there, it was very hot. And not only that, it was hot. Plus, did I mention that it was hot?

Hokay, by now, most of you would be asking whether I am right in the head or not. Don't worry. I am slowly being organically lobotomised. And so, to fill that void of not watching TV, listening to the radio, surfing too much Internet, etc. I decided to go back to my old hobby, which is scale modeling.And if you're asking, getting midgets to pose is still not scale modeling.To start off, I have

When it comes to eating Bak Kut Teh at home, there is a very simple process which we must follow. That is, to randomly choose a ingredient pack. A lot of BKT fans would religiously go to a particular stall or place to have them because, they know, its the best. But for us, we would just go to any place that happens to be nearby.

In most shopping malls, pirated goods are never welcome. Buying such items not only affirms the supports of theft of intelectual property but also, affects the livelihood of those who are working directly or indirectly to the items concerned.

After lunch, I decided to walk around the area for awhile and I stumbled onto this very nice torch. And I thought to myself, "Perhaps its time to get another torch." since its already time to get another torch. The weird thing is, I actually agreed to it since it was based on two factors:1.

OK, so after leaving it in the freezer for a day, it was time to see the results. The theory is to let the water seep into the model's cracks and gaps so that when the water freezes, it would expand.

I was at ICW today but instead of the quite atmosphere of people working on their models, the place was occupied by members from another Forum, conducting a modeling competition...Yep. Gundams. My interest is reflectedin the number of words typed here...One of the lucky winners...ICW even has a photo booth for youto well, take photos, of course. Thatreminds me, I need to rebuild mine.Got this

First time I was at The Empire, Subang. What struck me was the three storey human chute.Wow. This is going to make taking out the garbage, fun again. No more walking barefoot on sharp pebbles in the dark and tripping over the cat/car/snake/ants....

I am sure you have this experience sometime in your life. If you're lucky, you can count it with your hand. Otherwise, every morning is Hell for you and Heaven for NTPM* and the likes.It was just like any other morning for me. And just a few steps out of Vee-Chai, the warning signs came on thick and fast. I was both happy and cursing at the same time. Happy because I have not had this experience

Bruce wanted a set of 1/150 scale models and the only place I could think of, was, Tziplee. I have searched other places such as in Kepong and The Gardens but this was the only place left. And so, I got it for him.RM10.00 for this lot, plus a few decapitatedone as well. Yes, they are very fragile. Justlook at their size.Then, I spotted these magnets which, well,looked like potential kit-bash

While I was out, someone pointed me to this shop which sells wonderful cakes. New York Marble Cheese Cake, to be exact. I am not familiar with this place but after some searching, I came to an almost Deja-vu like state because it was the shop I always passed by when I was there. But then again, at that time, I was busy working my ass off. Then again, I am always working my ass off anyway.Anyway,

Kaelynn knows I am upset because she cut her hair. She knows its wrong to do it but for her, I think, was a great idea at that time. I mean, she had a problem of her bangs being to long which irritates her eyes and this was her solution. Well, it was a great solution but everyone wished she had consulted some adults first.I was tired and laid on the floor.She came in and tried to cheerme up by

As I came home today, I noticed a clump of hair.And through experience, this means bad news.Yep, the culprit was Kaelynn whotook it to herself to cut her ownbangs. Her excuse was that they were toolong and it bothered her eyes....

In light of the recent events in Pakistant, words such as Osama, bombs, etc. became very sensitive. And alas, it was also the same time that I 'won' a set of used model kits which, by coincidence, were bombs. And they costs me only RM0.01. I was not worried about it until I realised that they were due to arrive this week...So, when the Receptionists asked what it was,I just replied, "samples".
