The End of August

That was fast! No one really believes the time would simply just past like no tomorrow. At least to us all Otaku and toys collectors is good news because we can starts again shopping again. Well, I haven’t got mine yet. But for now, I already plan what to get next. Play-Asia.com recently just started the 20% off for Visa card owners and I already found what I want from there. Also, I recently discover another Hong Kong online store that selling Japanese robot toys, plastic models, resin kits and hobby magazines. I am not going to reveal the site yet until it is reconfirm safe online store. I have my own reason delaying because I discover there is a limited MG Gundam I want it so much and couldn’t share it to avoid getting stolen. That will be saving for announcing tomorrow. As for my next pre-order… Yes, MG Gundam Blue Frame 2 nd Revise will be my next pre-order. Bandai is going to bundle limited four types backpack units to allow MG Blue frame to use on all different Seed

Chinese National Courier Company Transports Service

I come across this video when I was browsing around today. Chinese in China are so popular copying products, bad manners and systems in the country. How about wondering their customers and handling services? According to the poster, this recorded footage is from one of the popular Chinese national courier company transport service throwing the parcels and boxes like pan-cake. Truly really disgust by such behavior and the worst are the people doesn’t even bother about it. Well, what can I say? it’s normal.

GSC Replacement Parts Arrived. But…

More than one month of waiting is over! After receiving post card two days ago from my mail box. I was so excited to get Drossel fix yesterday. Guess what? Things weren’t turns out that well for me instead it create another nightmare after getting it from the post office. Look at what Good Smile Company (GSC) sent to me? An envelope! I’m not really worried about the arm, but the helmet. There is no way this kind of hard envelope going to protect Drossel helmet ribbon area from being damage. It was squeeze so badly, in the end it break. Seriously, this GSC or probably the Max Factory guys never bother to think twice before packing it. What a waste! Luckily Drossel arm were unharmed. I’m not going to send and request another one. It’s pointless thing to do after seeing such unacceptable packing  behaviour. Replacement in progress…. Oh Yeah! Alright, in case any of Figma collectors received bad produce figures and your online merchants doesn’t want to replace it for you. You can contac

Looking for Limited Transformer and Upgrade Parts?

No plan yet for me to get Transformer this year. But I can introduce one website that you can easily have some chances to find and hard to buy your favorite Transformer toys from Hong Kong online merchant. I found it last few weeks ago when I was browsing around iGear TF blog. The online store is called RobotKingdom.com . Robotkingdom.com has been around for quite a while and also well mention in Transformer community news site. They are also the site sponsor in Seibertron.com . The reasons I recommend it because you can really find most of the Transformer stuffs there. Most importantly, for those who prefer US over Japan made Transformer version both are available for you to choose. Even the Fans Project and iGear TF custom made upgrades and accessories are available in the store. In case you had a hard time looking for it. Since the store is based in Hong Kong. We are expecting to pay in US dollar. However, don’t get a wrong impression with the dollar issue. Firstly, their pr

What’s Da Big Deal without Girlfriend?

It’s really irritating when relative’s members asking why you haven’t had a girlfriend. I pretty hate them asking silly question about me this kind of question and bug into my life they don’t even know. Totally annoying, whenever they starts this kind of topic in front of everyone gathering on that special day. I would leave the table or get home early. My mom never expects me too much from me because she knows what our situation is different. For those family members (from my side) who are rich, of course they won’t worry any single shit about that if their daughter and son get married early. For me who are just average income, what’s the point getting married and even having an unstable relationship? I am one of those people who are much more focusing on having better career and self enjoyment first. Having a relationship and marriage can be later. Of course, there are plenty of reasons I choose to be single at my current age. First, I am the person who doesn’t

Unlocking Full 4GB Support in Vista 32bit

Raymond.CC few days ago wrote an article about unlocking 4GB support in Vista and Window Seven under the 32 bits. I did try the patch. However, it doesn’t work on my Vista Home because it kept on saying about the file is being used. I can’t figure out why and I tried few unlocking programs to check if Vista is using the ntoskrnl.exe. No luck I have to say, even I used the other second boot up in XP also doesn’t allow me to patch directly. Luckily, I did browse through the comments for some better advice. Someone actually provide another unlocking patch program that is safer to used compare to the one Raymond.CC provided that doesn’t work for me. The ReadyFor4GB (not sure who made it), but the patching process is very easy and it helps to create another boot menu for you to select either the hack or the original ntoskrnl.exe version during boot up which is much safer if anything goes wrong. it might be annoying to you but I prefer reinstalling my Vista. I already tested t

PS3 Slim Ad

Link from Danny Choo Twitter . I don’t think advertisement really shows you a ‘wow’ impression. But I find it quite creative with different way to intro PS3 slim console. I haven’t plan if I might get PS3 next year. I will see because of the Gundam and figure is too much on my list! >_>;;;

Nothing much, but I just couldn’t sits there watching the HLJ Summer Sales 50% off pass through from me! Hehehe…two GNX-III! Woot! Only this one is extra order for HiQ Parts Aurora sticker. I can’t believe it was so small as I thought it was suppose to be larger size somehow. Luckily I brought one to see it myself. Hopefully there are others selling bigger size version.

Johnnie Walker Ad

Geezz…I have no idea what happen to me just now suddenly fall asleep in my chair after I got back from work. Half way done writing my new post. It was a at least three hours and now feeling dizzy now since I haven’t eat my dinner and bath. Anyway, going to bath first and cook a noodle later. For the time being check out the Johnnie Walker ad ‘Walk’. A six minute history advertisement made for Johnnie Walker. It was pretty damn creative and good. Check it out below.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

It’s a drama disaster animation with very good written story. I highly recommended for every Otaku fans out there looking for fresh and different drama series. It was release last month and currently air episode six in Japan. I haven’t watched the latest one, but the episode five was really touching and can’t wait to know what happen to the rest. Although I had ever experience earthquake in my whole life. Since this animation is only a Sci-fi based story, nonetheless it was based on real research and verification by the teams behind Tokyo magnitude 8.0 . Some few safety tips might even help you if you ever encounter it. Check out the trailer below and you can also visit the official website to find out more. The premise of the project is the 70% or higher possibility that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake will occur in Tokyo in the next 30 years. The anime will depict what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place. The story will center on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl w

Evidens Themes

After spending extra one day for code revising and check for any missing tracking code using Google Analytic . It was a disaster when Google Analytic didn’t track down any visitor records start from June. I have completely lost track at least two month on how many visitor drop by to my blog. It’s funny that Bloglog still able to continue to record down even the code is missing. O_O; It’s true that I don’t frequently log in and check the statistic every week. I only do it once a month or later because I have another Bloglog to keep track on the numbers. But that numbers it just record down the new and return visitors for only three days. Unless you willing to pay for the premium services. Nonetheless, Google Analytic provides more accurate statistic and a feature to let you know how long the visitors actually reading your blog. If you intend to start a business, this web tool is a must for you. Anyway, the improved version (especially the posting code) called Milano themes for rep

Optimus Prime Classic Gets Upgrade

It’s really rare seeing Optimus Prime classics toys getting upgrade from the maker called Fans Project . I didn’t really pay too much attention and chase Transformer news really often. But this time I decided to check it out as it looks interesting. The upgrade kits have already released many upgrade and conversion sets. I can only name a few because Fans Project also releases customs weapons and accessories around the world which you can check out here . Shadow Commander and Powered Convey are one of them. The third is coming known as City Commander Ultra Magnus and to be release soon. The picture below shows how it looks like.   Damn, isn’t it looking crazy good? Well, the price also god damn expensive just for the upgrade, at least for me. But for diehard fans, this is no excuse not getting it. man, it looks like I am going to collect Transformer sooner rather than just Gundam. ^^;; I might went broke the rest of my life loh! So far, the only online store I could find is Toy-

Sniffing Around World Webby

Quiet as usual for me lately and the only thing I can currently do in life is sniffing around the website looking for news and at the same time spending some moment looking at the guide on how to assemble Gundam kits. I just needed to shape up a bit on the idea how to assemble the aftermarket metal thrusters for Gundam. Luckily, manage to fund some site and modeler teaching beginner how to do that but you simply needed some require tools before you can do that. If you are looking for aftermarket metal thrusters, you can check out HLJ under the company name call HiQ Parts. It got a lot of great stuffs to improve and gives your Gundam more great looking. Thanks to that, I ended up getting some Gunpla (again) from Hobby Link Japan Summer (or Obon) Sales. It’s not really that expensive purchase this time. I just get those cheapest High Grade kits (2xGN-X III & 1xAEU Enact) that listed 50% discount that’s it. In the end the total shipping keeps me quite a low budget. Let’s hope

Otaku Burns Down Mother’s Home in Gundam Revenge

I caught this news at Sankaku Complex (don’t visit if you are under 12 years old) ^^;; and totally laugh hard when I read it. As a die hard Gundam fan myself, I do understand the losses all his stuffs. But things can be talk through with your parents and let them know not to touch anything or throw it away your treasures. A man has burnt down his home after his mother threw out his Gundam collection, lamenting “I’ve lost my precious Gundam, I may as well die.” The man, a 29-year-old factory worker and Gundam collector in Hyogo prefecture, who needless to say lived in his mother’s house, became so distraught at the loss of his collection at the hands of his mother that felt his only recourse was fire. He doused his room in kerosene and ignited it with a lighter, causing a conflagration which swiftly burnt the two storey wooden house to the ground. Apparently not quite ready to die along with his Gundam, he fled the house and escaped without injury. His mother (55),

Korean Naked News

If you are fans on the Korean celebrities, you probably heard about this hot news in Korea recently about this Naked News Korea was a scam and were already ceased operation few months ago. According to allkpop news, everyone who worked there were all victims. This dude, John Chau, was the mastermind behind all this fraud and got away. If you applied worked in other country, just be careful on the names start with John Chau. Hahaha! Don’t worry about the Youtube video I posted here. It was a censored version. If you want the uncensored one, go look for yourself.

Play-Asia.com Responds at Resellerrating.com

I’m sure most of you had heard about Play-Asia (my ad banner) by now. They are one of the popular online toys and games merchant at Hong Kong. I buy quite a lot of trading figures, plush dolls, solar gadgets and PC games from them in the past. And so I decided to leave my personal review on Resellerratings.com because they pays attentions and monitors the feedbacks every week from the customers. I, myself also experience some problems in the past and I really couldn’t forget getting a wrong figure. It was USD$65.00 that time and I was totally pissed off at them not responding my email for three days at least. It was really unforgettable hatred in my life. I encourage unhappy buyers to post your unhappy experience and complain over at the Resellerratings.com website. I just got mine yesterday so you can read here that responds to my previous review . Dear Chong, I just read your review and if you don't mind would like to respond to a few points on behalf of our comp

HW Japan – Last July Order 2009

Finally! I got my MG Gundam Exia Ignition Mode today. That was the last order for July from HW Japan which also includes three Kotobukiya new weapon sets. All of them are nicely made for my Gundam projects. Okay, I know I have been inactive lately about building Gundam. But I am totally broke right now and my own mistake overkill my spending like no tomorrow. I have rules for myself and dislike building directly except only for limited made plastic kits. No matter what, both paints and water decals must be present before I start my work. It just too bad none of them did. The only things I can do are continue preparing for each kit I collected so far. Check out the overkill photo I last brought on June and July. HW Japan MG 1/100 Gundam Exia Ignition Mode HG 1/100 Gundam OO Raiser Designer Ver.

Haze and Insurance Strike on August

It’s getting worst in KB every day and I just can’t believe those dumb people went on continue burning leafs and grass at home especially some of those living in Governments and Shell housing in Mumong area. No one knows if they are hurry thinking going to die and imagine those neighbors living beside them are dragging to suffer inhaling from it. I use to drop by in the park to jog and walk around. But with this kind of haze and open burning in those areas lately, I have to stop going until the sky goes back to blue again. When I was at work, damn the weather is really killing me when my car doesn’t have any air-conditioner (broken). Because of this, hiding in the office is the best option and hoping less calling out for services. >_>;; Well, haze is now a problem in our daily life so now I have to worry myself for next two months. This month was one of them actually and September going to be worst. For September and October, there won’t be any Gundam or toys order for me f

Kara No Kyoukai Movies

We might not be expecting new Naruto Shippuuden (Inheritors of the Will of Fire) third movie this year, which just recently air yesterday in all Japan cinema. But Kara No Kyoukai ( Garden of Sinner) will definitely keep you busy for a while. The anime is original based from a novel series, authored by Kinoko Nasu and currently there are six chapters already air and DVD released in Japan now. The upcoming new seventh chapter, 殺人考察 (後), Satsujin Kōsatsu (Go) , will be air coming next week. The seventh chapter is the continuation from the previous second chapter, 殺人考察 (前), Satsujin Kōsatsu (Zen) . If you haven’t watched it, you should watch the second before you moved on. But normally, I would recommend you all watching previous chapters first. I myself do admit had a hard time understanding the story because the events in the movie spilt into different timeline explaining what actually happens to the main character and also I was surprised this even involve about the magus r
