Gundam modeling

Haha, this is my first attempt in modelling gundams and i must say it is quite a fun activity.Lol, i really love the satisfaction when you see your finished work after laboring for hours trying to piece those itsey wensy bits and pieces together. And gundam models are great for posing too. Haha, looks like i have found a new hobby already...Gundam Modeling! Thanks to Hui Xian and Jia Ling for the present. Anyway, for any gundam fans out there, this model is a Graham's Custom Flag Union!

Haha, then the bottom one is some failed attempt in trying to perform genetic engineering on a flower! Lol, the middle pic shows some flowers made by CY and PM.

The Chronicles of Giving: The Star Fish, The Boy and The Old Man

Erm, pardon the spoof using Chronicles of Narnia, just want to share this story many of you may be familar with...

The Starfish Story --adapted from the writings of Loren Eiseley

As a young boy walked along a beach at dawn, he noticed an old man ahead of them picking up starfish and tossing them into the sea. Catching up with the man, the boy asked why he was doing this. The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun.
“But the beach goes on for miles and there are thousands of starfish,” exclaimed the boy. “How can you alone make any difference?” The old man looked at the starfish in his hand and then tossed it safely into the waves. He turned to the boy, smiled and said,

“I made a difference to that one. ”

This beautiful story has reminded me of the recent twin crisis in Myanmar and China, though i would like to focus on the Myanmar cyclone Nargis incident. Now, as we all know, the current ruling military Junta in Myanmar is not very receptive of foreign aid and though this has changed in the past week with the combined efforts of both ASEAN and UN initiatives, many are skeptical of the transparency with which aid funds from abroad are handled by the Junta. Some of my friends and family feel that no matter how much money we donate to help the victims in Myanmar, it would hardly make any difference to the people there. I would like to add my two cents worth to this issue. Myanmar is currently entering the rebuilding phase and rescue efforts have mostly concluded. Whatever the Junta has done... forsaking the victims in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, expulsing foreign aid workers, preventing genuine aid from geeting to the victims who most need them is done- and can't be changed. While we cannot make a difference anymore to those who have died in this tragedy, we can and should make a difference to those who are struggling to rebuild their lives in Myanmar. Even if only 10 percent of our aid goes to the victims, at least we made a difference to them. Even if it was just for a day, an hour, it is still a difference to someone's life... Even if the generals were to take our aid and repackage it to make it such that the aid came from the generals, so be it, at least the people received the aid. So, to end of, i would strongly urge everyone out there, regardless of what the Junta has done, to continue sending aid to the victims of the cyclone Nargis disaster. We may not be able to make a difference to everyone, but at least we can make a difference to someone.

Flower making+ BBQ= Super busy day

Right, after the "Face changing" experience at CGH, went over to Cheng You hse with Hui Xian, Jia Ling, Pui Munn to do up the pricing board for our CIP project with YMCA and to make some flowers and sort out the flea market items for our event. The flowers were meant for deco though, but i really learnt alot from them on the art of making flowers which i was hopeless at intially. Then as we made more and more flowers using just some coloured crepe paper and a wire to fasten it, it became easier and i actually sort of enjoyed the process. Haha, will try to pose the pics tat i took using my HP soon, they really are beautiful!

Then we had a BBQ at nite along with some of my sec 2 frens at my hse. Bought lots of food but they were all meat, only veg were potatoes which are more like shoots, a few pieces of corn and some King mushroom bought by CY. So basically we had a all meat dinner which was kind of heaty and for a person like me with severe acne, absolutely disastrous for my face, but then who reali cares, its just for 1 nite... Lol. Took me and CY like 30 mins to start the fire but i am proud to say it was the most successful fire i hv ever started using charcoal. The last time we tried to start a fire for another BBQ, we almost caused a haze to envelop Pasir Ris and our fire was more like a microwave oven rather than a fire for grilling... So with the fire up, we started cooking and soon we were tucking in heartily into the most scrumptious BBQ ever... Ok, maybe i lied, but the cook deserves the credit, rite? :) Haha, just kidding. Oh yes, and there was alcohol which i really enjoyed and which i had taken a liking to ever since i turned legal... Lol
Well, so throughout the BBQ, jokes were made, photos were taken, frens caught up with one another, tales were exchanged and childhoods were relished by the 8 of us teens hijaking the entire playground rite nxt to our BBQ pit, hope we, did not scare any kid away!
So all in all, it was a great nite for me and i reali enjoyed myself! Hope to see everyone soon and happy mugging for the june hols! :)

Trip to CGH...

All rite, here's wat happen yesterday. Woke up in the morning, went to CGH and had my blood testing to see if i can take a certain type of medicine called ISOTRETINOIN. Basically, it is a vitamin A derivative that is supposed to be the strongest weapon against acne in CGH's arsenal...
Sigh, i must have exhausted all means tat the poor doc could hv thought of to treat my acne. Hahaz! Then realized tat i am actually uncomfortable around needles, not scared, just uncomfortable, you know, tat weird gut wrenching feeling one has when one does something uncomfortable... what am i saying?
Anyway, doc says that i should not over expose myself under the sun, should apply sun screen every 3 hours when i am out in the sun, should not eat oily food, should not take XYZ... you get it...
The worse part is that from today onwards, i have to apply sun screen every morning! Urghs... that will take some time to get use to... Sianz... but on hind side, what the doc say about the protection sun screen provide to your face and skin is true though, haha, so for all you ppl out there, do apply sun screen to protect your face ok, esp given the unusually hot and sunny weather plaguing Singapore right now!

Suicide mission

Wait, its 4.30 am in the morning so what the heck am i doing posting on my blog, should not i be sleeping...zzz...
Well, haha my PA(personal assistance) has reminded me that i am behind my schedule, have a whole pile of remedial hw to do, and it is remedial for Bio and Econs, and i have not touched a single piece of hw except my econs essay tat i am writing rite now... so basically, no sleeping! Yada, yada, damn my PA! I want my sleep! ( Where's my Lighter? )
So here i am, complaining in my 'dreams' while back in reality, trying to chiong through my 2 bio tutorials, my econs essay, and study for my econs test and i onli gt 2.5 hrs left, so basically, this is a suicide mission...
But just like the armies of Rohan in the battle of Helm's deep, the crazy Spartans in the movie 300, the kamikazes pilots in WW2, when faced with insurmountable odds, what do we do? We face them head on, with a smile on our face! After all, since it is a suicide mission, you already sort of know the outcome already, so flash your mega watt smile while going down! You might just impress your enemies enough for them to pull out some magical time turner like in Harry Potter so you have more time to do your HW... AND TO SLEEP! Haha, just don't follow what i do... write a blog before one's 'Deathbed'!
Now, back to Reality... its time to kick some Orcs! ( Read: homework). For Rohan! For nation!

The Grand Plan

Well, after the tiring and exhausting p4 camp at Tao Nan Pri last weekend, i guess it is time to settle down and start mugging for JCT. But wait, there is still this appointment with the doctor for my acne problem tis morning and blood testing tml. And wait, there is remedial lessons tis fri, there's the Eclub camp nxt week, the CIP project with YMCA nxt weekend, the NS medical checkup...

Tis is driving me nuts!!! How the heck am i supposed to hit the books when there i have to go out like once every two days on average! And i dun wanna screw up my JCT like i did for my JCT and promos last year. So, i decided to come up with a grand plan... A few pages of plain paper, a black felted marker and some good old determination and viola!!! the grand plan is up.
Basically the grand plan is like my personal assistance, i gt to listen to it tell me when to study, when to write this blog, when to go out with frens, when to relax and when to sleep. The only difference, my PA unlike her human counterpart stares at me 24 hrs a day, rain or shine when i am at my study desk... and stares and stares and stares! I am sure no other PA is as efficient aS tat little piece of a4 paper hanging on my desk. Lol, so for those of you who like me, are very disorganized, go get a PA, a paper one to manage your time. Just dun tear it up when it annoys you... Burn it!

Woot! My First Post!

Wow... I am speechless... I can't believe i actually created my first ever blog and posted my first ever post!!! Must have been DREAMING... Hahaz! Dun really know how to use a blog, so any oh how stumble my way through my first ever blog.
Anyway, just wanted to see what was all the hooha about blogging and to kill time during the hols. Actually also wanted to find a place to pen down my thoughts so that maybe a few years down the road, i can have a place to reminisce about the past.
Yep yep, hope i can find time to spruce up my blog and make it better... Perhaps more pics and videos... Hope to update it frequently!
