awesomeness...1/60 VF-1S...

yamato brings us another stunner of a toy...a perfect transformation VF-1S Roy, now in 1/60 scale...

it's basically a scaled down 1/48 but with a major improvement on the head mold removing the unsightly center gap...

damage to the pocket should you choose to purchase this beauty...$140...painfully enticing...sigh...

mizuno wave run 2008

clocked 46.46 on my watch...a very much better running experience compared to last year's event...weather was great...the sky did threaten to rain before flag off initially but thankfully it didn't...

timing is still way off my personal best though...oh well...next up...ahm!

just so happen

just so happen i was at bukit batok library and just so happen the library carries lots of copies of this novel and just so happen the last copy was not on loan...woohoo!

mid year report card

it's already late july 2008...most stuff hasnt been progressing the way i wanted them to...the high hopes and optimism i had for 2008 (given the way i ended 2007 on a high note) isnt planning to materialise any time soon...

toys
only addition (so far) is a TF movie bumblebee camaro

training
currently in my worst running form ever since i picked up competitive racing 2 years ago...in addition my discipline to push myself is at a all time low...gone are the days where i could do 3x2.4km runs at a single session. made a decision this week to start resuming my 2-3 runs per week...completed 2 out of 3 runs this week...i want to keep this up as much as possible so i wont suffer too badly at the stan chart marathon...

muscle development
everything's hit a plateau...weight is stuck at 60kg...not as scrawny as i used to be but still the same old skinny frame...

travelling
gua temperung...bangkok...mount kk...P.Aur OWD...Batam cable ski...Kaleebso LOB...
all mini trips...

relationship
all i can say is the more i want it, the more it doesnt want to happen...

job
already 2 years at tos...and the downward trend of the company still continues...

amidst all the low morale, i find joy in re-discovering the things i used to indulge myself in and i'm glad they still lift my spirits when i'm down...be it assembling my gundam kits or listening to some good ol fashion rock music...

leaving you with "love is only a feeling" and "holding my own" by The Darkness

MG strike noir

finished up my MG strike noir kit yesterday evening...took me 2 hours to complete both the stick-on and dry transfers (applying the dry transfer decals on the kit itself was a real pain!!!!)...think next MG kit i'll just stick to the really essential decals...

"For you, a thousand times over"

my saturday night at the movies---"the kite runner"...

a very nicely done film...and just like the show---"into the wild", i hope to get my hands on their novels...should be a good read

其实女人要的幸福很简单

got this article from an email forwarded from Angie...about girls and the happiness they want and how simple it actually is...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

很多女人外表很坚强，内心却还是柔弱，需要男人呵护的。她不在乎你给了她多少钱，却会永远记得你调皮的从路边花坛偷回的那朵放到她手中的月季花。她在厨房忙 碌的时候，你从身后送来的一个吻会让她觉得幸福甜蜜。你们过马路时候，站在左边的你紧紧握住她的手，不论是什么年纪，都会让她觉得安全。　

世界上女人很多，美丽的，温柔的，聪明的，可爱的，笨的．……无论什么类型的女人，期待幸福的都是一样的。有个真关心自己的男人．所以她们等待着一个男人的出现，等着这个男人对她们好。

其实女人要的幸福是很简单的。
她只希望自己的男人不要因为忙碌而忘记她的生日。想听他在耳边轻声说句，快乐吧，我的宝贝.这时玫瑰也可以省略。她只希望做家务累的时候，他轻轻抚摩自己的额头说声，宝贝，喝了牛奶再睡吧。即使对于家务，男人一窍不通。她只希望害怕或者孤单的时候，男人在身边搂着她的肩膀坚定的对她说，别怕，有我。
　　
有的时候，爱是在不经意间流露的。可能男人你自己没感觉，可是女人却一字一句的记在了
心 底。她们会用更多的爱恋回报你。 尝试着在出门之前吻一下你的女人。常常温存的告诉她，你有多么的爱她。休息的时候抢过她手里要洗的衣物。天气好的时候带她到公园散步。睡觉前给她讲讲公司 里，回家路上看到的有趣的事情。偶尔耐心倾听女人讲的事情，即使你对事情一点不感兴趣．休息的时候陪你的女人逛逛街，有时候可以拉着女人的手或者揽着她的 肩膀，因为这样，她会觉得幸福。
　　
女人都希望在平凡中被呵护，被爱着。你温存的点点滴滴一定能让她闻到幸福的芳香。其实女人要的幸福很简单。只要你耐心的对你的女人好，要比你火山火热，海浪汹涌，细水长流就足够让她幸福一辈子。
　　
既然，你要了她就要对好，就要心疼她，要让她感觉到有安全感......　　

这个是女人要的幸福

i'm pretty sure most people who read it will find it sweet and most girls identify with it…

the scenario painted above does look to be a wee bit ideal...but it can be reality if the girl wants it to happen…provided she knows what she is doing (and really knows what she wants) and what signals she’s sending out to the guys...

girls always complain among themselves how clueless the guys are…how they are not doing the things girls expect them to do….but have u ever seen girls doing some self-reflection among themselves?

u put girls together and start the relationship topic--- it's either complain about their so-called sad love life (if they are not getting what they “think” they want) or compare what their bfs are doing or not doing…

i'm not saying all the guys are angels here, they also do their fair share of complaining

does the phrase "women are from venus, men are from mars" ring a bell?

that’s just a nice sounding phrase invented by humans…everyone (be it guy/girl) is born different, it's all about knowing what u want and learning to accept each other's good points and bad points…if one can't even go past that then its road block after road block…complaints after complaints…

instead of making it into a reality, the so-called "simple happiness" will just be another figment of our own imagination...
