新加坡部落格大奖颁奖典礼

9月5日，出席了OMY举办的新加坡部落格大奖颁奖典礼。哈哈， 什么都没赢啦。其实
这已在预料之内。 再什么说日本动漫这主题在本地并不是很主流。普通大众可能不
比同样和我有相同兴趣的人懂得我所blog东西。啊呀， 有入围就很开心了。当初报
名也只是为了好玩，都没想到会进此项目的十强哈哈。

现在回想起来还真漫长， 从5月报名到颁奖已经四个月了。如果能缩短到二至三个
月是最好不过了。最后，在此要感谢OMG看上小弟的部落格。明年有机会再来！

哦对了，我搬家了。有空来我的新家坐坐。 ^^;

9/5, attended the sgblog awards ceremony organized by OMY. Didn't win anything, haha. This is kinda expected as otaku/anime blogs aren't really that mainstream in Singapore. General public might not understand what I'm blogging about as compared to people with similar interests. Nevertheless, I'm happy to be nominated. Afterall i signed up for fun and never expected to make it into the top 10 of my category.

Thinking back now, 4 months has passed since the registration in May to the prize presentation in September. I felt that it will be better if it were to be reduced to 2 to 3 months. Lastly, i'll like to thank OMY for taking interest in my blog. Will try again next year if there's an opportunity.

btw, I have moved. Do drop by my new blog. ^^;

National Day Parade Preview 2008

My n00b attempt at taking fireworks pictures at the National Day Parade Preview 2008.


Pardon me for the bad quality. It’s my virgin shot of fireworks taken with my digital camera and without a tripod. Image turned out noisy due to high ISO used. There’s lots of smoke in the air as well.

I was lucky to has won 2 tickets for this year’s National Day Parade. This one I went to was only a preview. The actual show will be next Saturday. The construction in the background is a Integrated Resort (IR), an euphemism the government gave for Casino.


Smoke in the sky in a form of a heart by F16 fighter jets.


End of the parade. All the performers gathered on the stage while the audiences make a mad rush for the exit.


Took a picture of the Central Business District on my right before leaving.

Neglect

I feel like I am neglecting my loves ones. Take for example this white PSP Slim I bought last October. She has not been receiving much of my attention lately. In fact I don’t remember when the last time I held her.


I bought her out of peers’ influence since majority of people around me are getting one. The price is reasonable and the design is very appealing with its lean design and light weight. After acquiring her, I imagined myself playing with her during long journeys on the bus or the train. But I found that I will rather use the time to catch some shut-eye after a tiring day at work.

Anyway I don’t see myself picking her up and playing it anytime soon, the Internet is so much more fun. Is there anything/one you neglected lately?

Btw back then when the PSP Fat (I like to call it that) was released in 2005, owning one makes you the coolest kid in town. But nowadays it seems like everyone owns a PSP. I often see many indulging in their own world with their handhelds on public transports.

Yuki’s New Ride

After seeing Haruhi’s cool ride, Yuki decided to get a new ride of her own as well.




For the uninitiated, Yuki is riding on the GN Arms Type E from Gundam 00. It comes with a 1/144 Gundam Exia but I haven’t build it yet.

I didn’t take a lot of pics since there aren’t much poses I could do. Most of the pics didn’t turn out well to my liking. I wanted a totally blurred background so I zoomed out all the way using my digital camera. This affected the clarity and quality of the shots as one needs very steady hands to get a good shot. It’s so hard to get a decent blurred background with a digital camera. :-(

SG Blog Awards Interview and Danny Choo

As some of you might already know. This humble blog is one of the finalists in the Singapore Blog Awards. The uninitiated may click here to read about it. Recently they did a short e-mail interview with me. More after the jump.


You may click on the above picture to read the full interview. One of the questions they asked was ”Name some of the bloggers whom you look up to and why”.

My answer was undoubtedly danny, the culprit person who influenced me to start my own blog. Reading Danny’s blog has always been a pleasure and I enjoyed interacting with the community of people with similar interests from around the world.

Danny thank you for featuring some of my posts on your blog. It really helped in getting more people to find out about this modest blog. And not forgetting the regular readers as well. Thank you for sticking with me. ^^;

Classic Mecha from My Childhood

Few weeks back, I stumbled upon a video on Len-Vesper’s blog where I saw something very nostalgic and familiar. I am referring to Golden Warrior Gold Lightan (黄金戦士ゴールド・ライタン), one of my favourite animes when I was a little boy in the early 90s.


Gold Lightan is a golden mecha shaped in the form of a lighter. It can transform itself into a giant mecha when combating enemy mecha. Gold Lightan and his mecha buddies are sentient and do not require pilots.

Most memorable is Gold Lightan’s trademark move in which he stab into the enemy mecha’s body pulling out and smashing the enemy’s critical mechanism.

The one I watched as a lad was dubbed in Chinese. The OP was in Chinese as well. I only managed to find the Japanese OP which you may watch here.

Special thanks to Len-Vesper for telling me the English name since I only remember the Chinese name. How many of you watch this anime before as well? ^^;

No Time for Gundam

I have been busy lately so that means lesser time to build my gunpla (damn you Diablo 2 for addicting me). There are still a few backlog kits lying around waiting for me to complete. The MG Force Impulse above Saber is holding is almost done. Speaking of Saber, I don’t even have time to recharge her mana as well. >.<

Btw I disabled the comment captcha so no more keying in of lousy and difficult to see alphabets when making a comment. Please let me know if this is better?
