Temjin 747 8A

I had bought one Virtual On model, Temjin 747 8A last year, in October.

Also known as White Rainbow Knight, it is one of the most beautiful Temjin models I had seen in Temjin family.

This is also the first time I get myself a non Bandai model. After doing a lot of Gundams, thought I want to try on something non Gundam and since I had wanted to get my hand on the Virtual On for so long, I decided to get one.

Here is the box:

I google up Temjin 747 8A to get some tips on how to build the model and found that Hasegawa Virtual On models use lots and lots of decals.

No kidding.

Here are the decals for Temjin 747 8A:

Two sheets of wonderful detailed decals. Some are very very tiny… It was quite a nerve wrecking sight especially for me. I had never touch decals yet so far in my plastic model building life and this will pose to be my greatest challenge yet...

New boxes!

Hurray! New boxes arrived last month! Amidst the business going to and fro, I managed to squeeze my time to pick this boxes that arrived from Japan. Now I have more Gundams to build…

Here they are!

Anyway, when I posted this, I had actually finished some of them… That will be for another post…

Gone...?

Wargh! Before I knew it, May just flew by just like that!

Our home did not have internet for like half of the month due to some faulty reasons. I was away from the office for nearly the whole May. So I did not get to blog in May! AT ALL!

My camera also ceases to work… It fell down hard on the lens and all the photos taken after that were blurry. Now I need a new camera… I felt bad because I just get to know how to use the camera properly and now I have to get a new one… This is going to burn my pocket…

Owh… Before I forget, this lady here gave an award for the April Challenge. Thanks! It was a great April!

Anyway, I will be going to update my blog soon. Thanks for the patience…

Zombie...

For my last entry, I want to share this favorite game of mine. I usually play this game with my brothers.

You need at least two people to play this game and you also need NERF blaster.

Now you have to decide, who will hold the NERF blaster and who will be the zombie.

The zombie starting position is lying down on the floor. It does not matter whether you lay down on your tummy or on your back. Whichever makes you happy.

The guy with NERF blaster can start anywhere he wants too. It is preferably within the shooting range (Come on now, obviously you have to shoot the zombie, so do not give the guy with NERF blaster a hard time).

When everyone is ready, the game starts...

1) The zombie guy, please, as zombiesh as possible, raise from the floor.

If you are not sure how to act like a zombie, here are some zombie movies for your reference.

The key to this game is to be as zombiesh as possible. Keeping to the good classic zombie style, try to move as painfully slow as possible. Drop your head to one side of your body like a real zombie too.

Owh, and do make the zombie moan as well. You can call out for brain if you want, like the zombies in Plant vs Zombie.

2) Now the guy with NERF blaster has an easier life.

SHOOT THE ZOMBIE!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

3) When the zombie get shot, please, act accordingly. Always have the knock back effect after each shot hit you.

When the guy with NERF blaster is out of bullets,

just try to bite him, claw at him or do anything that a zombie will do.

4) The guy with NERF blaster should try to reload while avoiding the zombie.

RELOAD! RELOAD! RELOAD!

Kick the zombie in the head if you must while reloading.

5) Once you are done with reload…

SHOOT THE ZOMBIE!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

And it will go on and on and on and on… Just keep repeating the step 1 until step 5. Remember, the zombie guy can fall and lie on the floor should he feel tired and rise again as mentioned in step 1. Zombie will rise again and again whenever he is shot down. A zombie will never give up!

I actually have not decided how to end the game… Because zombie can never die! So you will have to decide how to end the game.

But I do hope you will enjoy this game. Remember you can play with more than two people. Owh, and do remember this as well, two NERF blasters are better than one!

ENJOY!

Thank you very much for reading my A to Z Challenge entries. I had great fun writing them…

Till next year!

Yellow...

Yellow is the color of fear in the world of Green Lantern.

The Yellow Lantern Corps or rather the Sinestro Corps strikes fear into their enemy heart. Their members are capable to instill fear.

You,

yourself is someone you should fear, holding you back when you want to press forward to achieve glorious victory. You succumb to laziness when you should get out of comfort for greater change and greater good.

Yesterday mistakes and bad experiences, if you could not overcome them, will be your fear.

Yearning for something and afraid of failure in achieving it is also fear.

Yelling people also strikes fear to some.

Yapping dogs to some can be fearsome too.

Yolk of the egg was feared for high cholesterol and people are still debating whether it is true or false.

Young people have this fear of aging.

Years passing by and if you notice it, reminding you are not that young anymore and instill fear of facing death soon… If you are not prepared for death.

Xanthippe...

Here is the meaning of today word from webster online dictionary:

1. Biographies / Xanthippe F, Greek, MISC: wife of Socrates) the wife of Socrates, proverbial as a scolding and quarrelsome woman

2. Any nagging, peevish, or irritable woman

When I was in my teen age years, I did not really like my mother for she always nag at me at home. She was Xanthippe to me and she still is. Our favorite topics at that time would be why I could not study more, I should be playing games less, I should be sleeping earlier etc…

Then I stumble upon this quote:

If you have never been hated by your child you have never been a parent. ~Bette Davis

Then I guess, my mother is a parent. And I also found out that most mothers are a Xanthippe. In most of the teenagers’ point of view, I guess…

I was also told that nagging is a way to show their love.

Anyway, it will be Mother’s day soon…

Weather...

I met this one lady once upon a time. We were both from the same country. So by right, we had the same weather. Sunny rainy tropical weather.

I met her when I was doing my Bachelor Degree in a country where they have spring, summer, autumn and winter. The winter was not really that cold, the coldest I had felt was at 5ºC. Still not too bad but I was shivering like hell.

I met her when she was about to leave the country where I studied. She complaint that, when she return, her son would have difficulty adjusting to our country weather after so long staying in a four season country.

I was like, “Okaaaaayyyyy…”

I said that because:

1) Her son grew up in our country and only stays in the four season country just like for 2 or 3 years only.

2) Only in winter it was cold. In other season, it could be freaking hot, nearly up to 40ishºC. That is about the same temperature in our country.

Nothing much I can say except for "Welcome back!"
