An Alien Life of Starboykb

This one is a bit quite a challenging kit to work on and first time merging with the old MG 1/100 Zaku parts. Lots of drilling works need to be done, also require different size of the poly parts ready if you plan to fits in with HG1/144. As you can see, it’s not really perfect hand works so I fill some putty to repair, at the same time make it look better. I’m not using 2 hour fast dry putty since I still got half of the Tamiya 10 hours putty around. Better off not wasting, it just the problem needed to wait longer to dry. The rest of the kit sanding is nearly 100% complete so next month I can start coloring. The photo here shows how it going to looks like in the final stage. Although I did have problem solving the energy pipes linking to the backpack and to the booster legs. Somehow I manage to find useless electrical wire to do the jobs. Not quite liking it much but it does solved my problem.

Pretty good video and songs. Check it out!

I got to say the Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol is really good. Recommend everyone to watch tomorrow holiday if you got the time. The only complain so far is the chair really uncomfortable at Empire Cinema. This is why I don’t like watching movies at Empire after the first that I remember is Punisher. The ticket they given to me somehow too close to the screen. What make me feel bad about it are many empty seats at the rear when I look back. I was like damn why they can’t even try to put us in the middle instead spreading us randomly? Someone is worse than me in the row. Hopefully next time Telbru could arrange better in the future. Anyway, I got back home at 12 and sleep straight away. Not quite a nice trip because of heavy rain but after a while hitting the dry road. I became the need of speed and hoping some creatures would appear in front of me. Oh that’s the free t-shirt Telbru given to each of us!

Although this currently just happen recently in Malaysia , I wonder if Brunei might follow one day. This indeed causes me worrying because I never had any certified IT background as mostly everything learned from self-study, job experiences and internet. The only time I did PC Technician course is at the local shop. Well, not even a local recognize paper. Hate to say I am not a bookworm and like reading. Seriously I really need to start playing safe and came up cash to take some courses next year at ilm Academy. Otherwise I might both lose my job and have my car pull away. Geezzz… Don’t laugh at me being bad educated person. You young folks need to worry as well. The past few days I did learned some information and changes about the educations in Brunei from the locals. Not sure how true is that, it was told that the UBD certification papers doesn’t recognize by other countries. Enlighten me that was not exactly true. However there are few confirm that somehow. Of course you do have tw...

Yes, Optimus Last Stand! Review coming Up Soon!

I didn’t expect to win the ticket and t-shirt from Telbru . Well, what can I say? It was suck at first knowing got to drive all the way to the HQ at old airport to collect the prize. That was definitely so inconvenience way asking KB man like me to go up. Not like I can’t take leave. But had to one week earlier so not possible. The only way is to ask if they can send it down. It was denied. I was WHAT? Luckily they gave me another option by going there on December 15 th and collect directly before screening. That was much better. Otherwise I might as well give up the prize. Not entirely good thing too as I do find it suck watching on this Thursday, not to mention starting at 8.30PM. Seriously that was late and one hour trip there even work on the next day. Anyway, still a few days away better off not thinking anything now.

Really love the Advance of Zeta Gunpla kit! I spent quite a lot of time mixing to build a balance high mobility version of Quel. It has additional weapon and shield booster defense against beam weapon which I first thought why this shield booster is so different. Well, I am not kit bashing type so I usually look up in Gundam Wikia for information on those weapons and equipment’s to understand before starting to build and fitting into the UC lines.

Another no posts for weeks, hate to say it always happen during third and fourth week of every month. Work does keep me company and tired after back from work. I wanted to go for a jog, the weather play it’s part on raining so much my body become more stressful and sleepy. For most part, monitoring online activities doesn’t put me away especially Black Friday sales hunting. So far only Hobby Link Japan has a good deal on EMS shipping and this is what I get from the store below. 1x 1/100 Justice Gundam 1x 1/144 HG 00 Gundam & O Raiser SP 2x 1/100 Nix Providence Gundam 1x 1/144 HGUC MS-06 Zaku F2 EFSF Ver 1x Large Missile Launcher 2x Hand Gun 2x Saber & Hummer 3x Duct Nozzle Some of you may wonder why I bother to get High Grade 1/100 Justice when Bandai (obviously) going to release the Master Grade version probably next year. Well, idea simply just pop up in my mind since I am quite a fan on Seed VS Astray design so Justice kit going to put in good use and mix...

I pick up this magazine from ishop2go.com after seeing them put up on the store. The Model Kit World is a Hong Kong toy magazine and been around for quite a while. Full color pages and this volume252 come with HGUC Sinanju bazooka. In case you wonder, the plastic quality is okay. If you ever owned the HGUC Unicorn twin Gatling gun, it is the same. You can’t really ask for more on this book that only cost less than B$10.00 so it’s a nice addition for collections. I recommended picking one of these magazines if you see selling at any bookstore. I’m not quite sure if you can find in Brunei today. I remember seeing them selling in Soon Lee KB book section but now no longer available there. Other places can be possible finding at Miri or in Malaysia.

Finally I received my Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 4 GB version memories ram from Kingston-Blog. It took me quite a while to decide which one to go. At first, I was thinking about getting 4GB for my ACER notebook. But after few thoughts and since it still under warranty. Maybe it’s best to get the desktop version instead because I am building FreeNAS soon once I got my stuffs. Luckily I in no hurry stocking up the HDD at the moment. Lots of happening to the world and HDD price recently just shoot up because of the flood affecting in Thailand. Disaster really hurt the economy pretty bad. Hopefully the price might go down after Chinese New Year.

Damn the Yen keep falling. HLJ just listed another crazy Gunpla sale until Nov 30 and I am still considering stocking it. There are many Gunpla I wanted to collect, when the foreign exchange rate falls like that I am much more willing to spend on US dollar rather Japanese Yen. I think best to hold my spending until Black Friday Sales. You won’t know might getting even lower rate.

Yup, Trouble! I got myself into problem expressing my frustration issue and exposing the work place in my blog. Nothing secret, it just that I am invading the privacy and shouldn’t take any photos posting online or blog. So I have to delete it. I do think the problem is expressing my issue at the work causing a stir, badly. It’s easily to track down who am I because I never put anonymous of myself. I even uploaded my own photo and beforehand improved the search engine of my blog post links when messing around, so nothing is secret and hiding. Right now just waiting for something to happen since i went a bit overboard and kena poke LOL! XD I need to renew my documents as well.

When I run a review on PE-01 Shadow Warrior last year, I impressed with the target master design and good articulation. The only downside is too expensive for such small toy which every collector had to reconsidering their spending budget. If you haven’t follow up their latest product this year, the Perfect Effect had already released PE-03 to PE-10 with slightly cheaper and improvement over the PE-01. They are great, but I choose to get PE-11 SFX Scouting Force X Camera instead. I don’t feel disappointed my choice because this one is different, comes with cool weaponry and design.

Damn, I can’t wait to watch this movie. Even though I know the story since I own the DVD anime series in the past. I hope this time there will be ending to this and better.

There are a lot of speculating and brought up again from the past about headhunting news. Since the day I was born until parent divorce. I have been wandering around the KB town with my bike for 10 years at night and when started working until mid-night never get chase once. So what’s the deal with the rumors? Take it as bullshit or whatever you wanted to call it but me going to be straight to the point. There is NO headhunting in Brunei. It was never ever happen and any photo surface showing single proofs a head in the bridge or currently in the construction. Many of my cousins and relatives are living in area far from the police stations since they were born and the easiest target. I never heard single news of their death, getting chase or words worrying their head cut off at home surround by forest. Government covers up? No such thing that this is small country can hide many things from us people. Even if there are head hunters in Brunei, they are going to be end up dead. Why? Cars ...

I was supposed to let you guys know if this pest repeller gadget work last month. But I forget to write after going through my posts and busy watching World War II history channel. It’s a good thing to see the long term results instead 9-14 days as mention. Anyway, does it really work? For my room, yes, it works. I haven’t seen any lizards in my room making noise anymore and now stay outside. The ultrasound really does the trick, even not seeing any insects in my surrounding. Only ants does crawl into my room sometimes, not a big problem. It just I always forgot to bring the drinks and foods out of my room. So lucky that I didn’t waste my $59.90 spending on something I’m not familiar. Although this things claim no effect on pets, but my dogs never stay or even sleep nearby my room outside. I kind of suspect probably they are somehow disturbed by this ultrasound. Nevertheless, I am happy able to sleep peacefully without getting disturb by the lizards.

Human is something we still don’t fully understand until today. If you remember reading news about two teenage boys raped and killed 18 years old girl before mutilating and burning her under the bridge last year. The writer at Vanity Fair (credit to Kotaku) went deeper discovering more horrible crimes those two boys past. The article is four pages so it going to takes time reading the whole. I’m not quite sure what does this got to do with the online WoW games. Parents in the west should start whack their kids to understand what is right or wrong if they do terrible things in the young age. Continue to Murder by Text .

In this photo, I brought two rare Alien Conquest (30141) and Creator (30024) from eBay. This is just a small collection and planning to get the ADU forces some upgrade next week. As for this, well, these are the Transformers Micromaster weapon parts. It’s going to get expensive soon due to the economy so better grab it first before he price jumps higher. I decided to spend some time updating my blogger pages. It will be much easier to find my latest toys review and Gunpla work listing. I thought long about having images to do the job. Somehow things weren’t going too good for me recently so better off doing it simple. Anyway, I had done some major update to the reviews, reorganizing and updated the E-Shop database which going to include Lego 3 rd party makers too soon.

Man, just when I stop playing PSP and sold it off. I can’t believe so many new games continue to develop on the system. I am going to grab the PSP Vita no matter what this time.

The final Fansproject Causality 2011 series, Backfiery has finally joined up with his brothers. First question that mostly going to bother the buyers and collectors. Is there any problem with the toy? Well, it’s not worse than the previous Stormbomb. But this time comes with no back screw! LOL!

What a busy week after the lightning strike last few days ago. I have been working late dealing lots of problem with the computer hardware in my company even rushing my monthly maintenance services. So I got no time to write review for the Fansproject Backfiery which I got last week. I’m not sure tomorrow planning working on a new Gunpla. Kinda feeling lazy and wanted to take some nap before writing new posts. But I do have to say the current hobby event displaying new Gunpla doesn’t seem to attract me much especially the Gundam Endless Walt and Age lines up. It doesn’t mean I won’t buy them because I really in need of display shelves in my room which I previously unsuccessful getting one after pissed off by the sales lady at Court furniture KB. I probably am going to start looking for one soon and best to wait for more new upcoming HGUC release which I really hope see more HGUC Unicorn line up. Well, I do ask you not to overlook on the 3 rd party toy these days. During the Victoria’s...

FINALLY DONE!!! Phew~! Quite a challenging upgrades kit to mess with. Without my sample backup, I won’t be able to learn and experiment better way to build it. Wagtail is really a gorgeous upgrade kit and many ways to mix into crazy GM variations type. You guys already have seen many EFSF demonstration work in the internet and hobby magazine. I decided to go a bit different. The description does say AE next generation plan were rejected. This hit my mind turning into more prototype alike since I unsuccessful pulling off the shoulder beam sword modification. My Wagtail doesn’t really look changes not by much. But thanks to Kotobukiya making a great support option parts, helps changing into shoulder thruster styling. The shield retain original with working detachable beam sword. For the lower part, I use back the type C. The overall looks pretty awesome and giving me more idea for the next work.

You do not need to understand what the guy saying in the video just watch the fucking irresponsible scumbags do to the little girls even the people passing by. This is why I never plan going to China.

There is so much to say and we all know for sure present is different from the past. With the increasing populations around the world, we might encounter lack of food access in the future. Climate change and nature disasters can cause destructive to the habitats and locals food producers. Even dangerous chemicals were used today to grow fruits and vegetables that can affect serious health problem. Although I never experience hunger and poverty or conflicts over foods living in Brunei, but focusing healthy lifestyle is priority and choosing right green foods are recommended. So in this year theme, I will write recommendation some important about green foods that have healing power. Until today, I am struggle adjusting my daily foods menu and pushing myself eating green foods. I am too much in love on fast foods and fried meats every year like any teenagers nowadays. Well, human are good at eating anything and many don’t for certain type of foods. For instance, vegetable is never my ...

The sanding and panel lining were done yesterday. Only few more parts left to go before spraying prime this week. I am right to have a straight built GM Wagtail sample (photo above) for backup. It really does help me a lot on learning during the work progress and assembling. Yeah, I busted few parts again for experiment because the beam swords storage is the most challenging to work on.

The article really posed a funny question and yet interesting talk about better investment plan from the folks at Primeland Estate can offer. I am haunted without home and even impossible to invest a house 9 years now. So how the fresh graduate capable of doing that? Not unless they are from rich family or had huge saving and middle working class with 3-4k salary per month. The article didn’t really describe much how this plan going to work. Maybe attending the exhibition could help you more understanding their plans. I didn’t, but instead went to HSBC bank to look for the home loan specialists on Thursday for advice on investing a home by taking a day off. It was worth it and able to learned better including avoiding future risks. He says, don’t be fool by the bank brochure that thinking getting home loan are easy like cars. First he asked me how much deposit money I can manage to work out together with my family. Is my saving in the bank are enough to cover. This is very important...

Never thought I would go and buy this kind of stuffs. It does making me no choice to try it when the pests always come to my room. Especially the lizards are most annoying among them making noises and shit around my window. Not to mention hey they smell bad when it die. The lizards spray only works well for at least two to three days. After that they came back into my window again. They don’t die easily from the normal sprays and continue lay shit into my new car. I hated them so much without knowing how to deal with them anymore. With technology continuing improving everything everyday, probably something or someone might work on some thingy could kill the pests. I discover the Pest–Shop product showcase at Soon Lee in Mumong. It was supply by Olee from Singapore so I did some research which is best for my room and inquiry how to warranty (in case any problem or faulty) issue before purchasing one. I choose the Ultimate AT Pest Repeller (Pest-Shop 3000AT) device which cost B...

Ha! My first Advance of Zeta Gunpla! The result of mix and match Hazel II Sniper Custom unit does make him so heavy type. It just too bad I don’t own any Dengeki Hrududu parts. Otherwise it going to look good compare to the current. I did find a site selling the parts in resin version. The price wasn’t pretty bright and best to forget it.

This is extra photo shoot for Thundershred additional weapon posing. The new shuriken was received from Stormbomb order.

Stormbomb was the fourth released of the Causality series by Fansproject. The fifth (or last) Backfiery is now pending for release in October worldwide. I haven’t placed my order yet, not until settling the credit card debt first. In case you asked, yes, same price and stocks still available at RK for purchase while I am writing this review.

As always, the reporter tried making him more popular. If you don’t know what happen, you can read this post at Utusan news site for more information. Click here for Malay to English translation. (video to be removed tonight! Download now!)

This is the Hazel Sniper Custom I am working on this month. There won’t be any modifications since most of the Advance of Zeta Gunpla lines are mix and match. I am expecting to finish this Sunday and jump start working on Federation Wagtail demonstration unit.

Too busy lately and stress cleaning up my mom mess for preparing papers and letter for reapplying the lost land. Never ever believe any dumbass says you are automatically transferred to new land or the Government letter you didn’t receive should be ignore. You should always inquiries the status of your land application monthly and make sure the letter reach you. My mom Sg Teraban land was already terminated by the BSP without knowing anything for three years. The letter didn’t arrive and stuck in the file. Three years late is totally a big blow to us and now no one knows if PR still able to get any land to build houses anymore. We can’t apply for national housing or even finding semi-detach housing that are affordable. I don’t know what to do anymore so decide to drop by the land department and inquire for any possible way to apply for housing. As long you are not holding yellow IC, there are no solutions. Unless you are rich then those are definitely not going to be hard life. The ch...

I have been looking for this songs put in the Body of Proof TV US drama for a long time. Now I finally found out who the artist is. If you guys have watched the drama, you should check out it and as well the song below.

Pick up today. Same as usual pre-order at RK and another free Transformers Movie trading card collection pack. As many who still don’t know, the Casualty CA-04 Stormbomb comes with Thrudershred full shuriken replacement which is great addition. Review going to up soon once I done the photo shooting. Interestingly also, the Stormbomb dairy card mention something about a traitor Stardust. Could it be another upcoming Fansproject next project planning for next year?

Many great joy and cheers finally seeing Toys “R” Us open in Brunei. Last Sunday I (with sis and cousin) went over there after sending my mom and nephew to the airport. The location isn’t really friendly finding for KB folks. I did remember how to get there in the past (5-6 years) but needed to drive around to recall the way. The place occupied almost half the blocks and sees tons of toys there. Damn, what a wonderland for me. But what are cost of the toys there? Seriously I don’t know if it would be correct comparing to Miri branch? My cousin can answer since he brought many toys over there. According to him, yes, most of the toys here are cheaper around 5-7+. It may not be much because you can’t compare the current high exchange rate for ringgit. So did I get anything there? Well, I choose Lego City 4 in 1 Super Pack currently sold for BND$39.90. I was thinking about going for Nerf Stampede which price at $79.90 with extra free bullet pack. Thanks to my carelessness overly order ...

There are a lot of (pointless) opinions and complains lately on Brunei Times newspaper regarding the photos published on 7 th September news about the Muslim family girls in car accident at school. The readers are unhappy because the photos are either disrespectful or whatever they can think of and even call it cultural sensitivity problem at Twitter . Honestly, neither I see anything wrong in the photo nor do I find anyway that insults the Muslim family. That just my personal opinions and rest of the locals are mixed to this issue. Most important question of all, did the family agree the photos can be published by the BT newspaper on that day? According to them, yes, the family gave permission to the photographers to go ahead. End of story. Since I involved in the discussion, I decided to ask around Malay colleagues today and let those sees the BT news photos. I did point out is it the photo shows the body of the girl that make them feel too sensitive’s and disrespectful to the fami...

Sometimes owing an iPad 2 3G are convenient for browsing the internet and download application directly. However, bad thing do happen if you are not very careful. Never mind about the Foursquare app (or others) in your phones or tablets which many of you already know telling others where you at. But the worst part is paying high price on your 3G phone bills which is the shittiest financial blow to your life. My mom and nephew flew back here not long ago. Apparently they bring along the iPad 2 3G version with them because my nephew is so stubborn wanted to play games. What they didn’t realize is the Singtel services are continue charging the roaming fee mad after they arrived in Brunei. Totally a big nightmare to my brother after realizing the Sim card didn’t pull out from the device. The charging kept jumping to S$2000+. Some of you may suggest turning on the flight mode or switching off the sim mode are going to stop the roaming. Let me tell you IT DOESN”T WORK . I have no idea what ...

Side Burn is this year Transformers Collectors’ Club member incentive exclusive toy. As many of you know, Side Burn is none other a redeco version of Rodimus. It just sad that doesn’t come with any art box. At the same time, the wing tail was bent 90 degree during the arrival. It’s not serious, luckily. But I am really disappointed how the staff’s at TFCC pack my toy without any single foam or bubble plastic inside the box before shipping out from the US. It is so hard to find left over or recycle foam stuff over there are somehow puzzling me. No one can imagine how the folks going to replace if the toy comes in damage. Anyway, the redeco Side Burn doesn’t come with disappointment on the paint application. Although I did discover some area did not done properly on the painting. He still turns out really details and looks different with Rodimus, only thing is just too bad not getting any new head treatment. Hopefully Fansproject might release new TFX Protector for Side Burn in the f...

Again, I messed up with the lining. It seems like I really have to stop applying too much lining into the all Gunpla kits. Even though it doesn’t stand out too much from the distance but I still find it disappointed. This is the mistake I always made not researching other modeler painting works loh. Anyway, I didn’t include the bazooka because it would be nice having it on destroy mode. So instead I give a pair of DX Hobby Gatling gun. I think having another one holding on the hand to make it triple. Things weren’t always going according to the plan when the weapon holder is too small to hold. Well there goes for the China cheap quality products.

Thundershred is the third released Causality 2011 series from FansProject. As you may know, the CA-01 Warcry and CA-02 Flameblast are just a redeco from the previous Crossfire series with different face and weapon parts. Basically the same mold so I decided to skip the first two released due to the unacceptable price I felt and better focus my attention on the CA-03 to CA-05.

This is a Tokyo Toy Show 2011 Transformers United Darkside Prime and Megatron exclusive toy. If you are Transformers collectors, you really shouldn’t miss this one. Why? It only cost US$59.90 (for now) which is the exactly the two United price. This is US$20 cheaper compared to the last exclusive Dreadwing and Smokescreen. The paintings for both are so good especially Megatron is the best. I really love these two and really wanted to take them out of the box. But after seeing my room filling up with toys and junks, I think better off living them in there. I don’t think I need to do review because they were basically the same toy and mold. This one simply just evil redeco version with good high quality paint job. Don’t miss out this one if you haven’t get one while the price still remain the same.

Fucking HLJ, they shipped out my stuff too early for this month! Damn, now I am totally broke. If they shipped out on September I may able to hold out until October. Arggg…wrong calculation on the timing, dammit! I did however this time went overboard purchasing so many Gunpla. Some of them actually wasn’t in my wish lists but needed some parts from every each of them. Most of them are from the promotions and some don’t, especially the two Advance of Zeta kits. I wanted to get them a long time ago so decided to add together in the orders.

To be honest, I have no idea how many Atheists are in Brunei nowadays. But I decided to speak out to all my family and friends. This is going to be ugly, hate, attacks and causing criticisms around me because all peoples I know are religious and believers except my big brother. No matter what happens, truth doesn’t hurt. I already start promoting in my Facebook profile and see what kind of results I might get from the feedback. Of course I already am receiving unhappy comments from some of my Christian friends. Well, let see how it goes. Don’t feel ashamed. It’s up to you what you believe and disagreeing my view or the rest of the world. Visit the official We Are Atheism website for more information's and check out the videos below.

In case you guys missed collecting exclusive upgrade FG 1/144 Full Saber IV, XN update (for O Raiser) and GN Sefer previously on the hobby magazine. No worry, it is now currently available at online Samuel Decals and HM Shops . Do note that this is limited quantities available and comes with no magazines. The price is okay and quite affordable comparing to the eBay sellers. I’m not sure myself might getting some since until now I haven’t builds them yet. The most interesting news from HM Shops FB is that the seller will be bringing 1/100 Full Saber VI version into the store. No details yet if this is made of quality plastic or resin. For sure I am eyeing on it. Man I wish they would remake or produced back the Advance of Zeta Hazel upgrade. It really suck I missed those two.

Straight build with led lighting. Took me at least three days building and spray painting. The runners are not that many so much easier and faster to build. But hate to say it require to folk out extra B$8.00 batteries just only two led parts. Imagine working on MG Gundam OO with five led parts. You are going to spend at least $18.00 for the batteries on the led parts which is quite waste of money. Well, depending on the builders. But I won’t spend again the led parts in the future unless I plan on working diorama.
