EACON 2012 – The Lost Light of Cosplay

First of all, let me apologize if I say something wrong that might offend the local organizers and cosplayers in this post. Understand that this is just my personal opinions on the two days experience and find the cosplay group’s performances were somewhat lacking of something.   To be honest, I don't pay just to enter the Gunpla competition. But to see something fresh from cosplays competition at EA CON and maybe more exciting activities this year. For some reason, the gaming simply just took over the spotlight in the event almost the whole day. Everything feels like I am attending to a gaming event instead.   Let me be frank, I am not the only person in the event felt this arrangement are heading wrong direction. There are previous attendees told me the same thing not feeling enjoyable from what I encounter above. Of course not 100% everyone agree or perhaps the organizers are doing this to respect the MIB code.   I never dress as a cosplayer so I’m never k...

Dishonest Trade In Program Continues

I already cover the issue back in 2009 about dishonest local advertising page. Today I'm going to remind the readers to be extra careful and must get more information before trading in any working computers to the local company’s. It appear the company trade in program continue to mislead the customers into thinking either we are actually getting some cash back or lower purchase price for any selected products. The truth, is not and basically we are giving away our working hardware for free in return for nothing. Yes, nothing! This is even more surprising when the employee themselves dared to admit the above I wrote are all truth. I continue to wonder how can such company get away with that lies? It is because they are popular in the capital that allow them to misleading the customers? Make no mistake that the Brunei Governments already announced the law against the such act this year. If you have been cheated or any kind of misleading promotions that you purchased from. Send to t...

EA CON 2012 – The Opening Day One

Phew~! Finally I can take every few minutes to sit down writing my experience report for EA CON day one and two while continue rushing work OT in the office and spending some time back home at night. Yup, I am still very busy lately rushing work to settle things before new year. Fucking hate it when these things come unexpectedly. Now, did I enjoying my time in EA CON? Well, it’s good to see we have lots of Cosplayers turning up in the event and seeing more roomy space for booth to set up as well bigger gaming area compared to last year. But not quite feeling much enjoying at all and felt moody surrounding. I will explain later in the next post why. Now... Kiulap Plaza Hotel First of all, I am sucked at location. I know where Kiulap is but not the hotel (lol). This is my first time going to Kiulap Plaza Hotel so I didn't know where the exact best location to parked. After realizing heading toward the building, then I saw Hua Ho was just next to it. Yeah, I was an idiot parking ne...

I'm Back in Photography

YES! I finally decided to purchase and replace my aging PowerShot A710 IS with Canon EOS M! Although the original plan is getting DSLR version, in the end I went for compact and believe not necessary investing on professional camera. I know there are many mixed response on Canon new release mirror less technology. Still, I continue to jump in for it and feeling lesser worry about being too heavy carrying around. In case you wonder how much I brought, the current selling special promotion price is B$1319.00 at Interhouse Company event in Kuala Belait. I choose the third package version that comes two different lens and mountable flash which I find the best to go for. Yes, it comes with free stuffs. Not exactly very attractive compare to Hari Raya promotion. But free 8GB SD memory card, cleaning kits, camera bag and two years warranty sure quite good. I already take my camera for a spin and the photo results turn out pretty good for inexperience like me. Even bad photos nowadays can be ...

WTF with December?

Geezzz.. December really suck! For most people, usually this month are quiet and less work while people away for holiday or heading back home for upcoming Christmas. But from last week until now, everything was all about work and rushing. I have been working non-stop OT lately and feeling tired without enough sleep. I don't know if the management are going to pay or not for ours overtime. If he say we can claim it, I wouldn't mind working for extra hours. However, new task kept coming and changes last minute sometimes, sure starting to pissed me off. There are someone's else pisses me more is that son of the bitches, yeah the new guy, still can't work independently with simple task and fucking not remembering what he had learned after more than eight months. Oh man, I wish I can fire him off even he was sent from the Government Labors department. This guy is so fuck that he should just applied for office boy. Well, thanks to my manager for not listening my opinion exte...

Room Done But Not Air Con

When you worked so hard fixing and painting your own room. The worst thing ever happen is learning the air conditioner died after servicing. That was big fucking shit the technicians had done to it and not even checking properly even I requested it. All I remember they say its okay and zoom off leaving hurry like someone tries to kill them. The impression they gave me are so bad not even bother to wait for 10 minutes checking the whole thing running before handling out the receipt. They have to come back three times telling me different shits about the faulty hardware and charge me again for it. Damn these motherfuckers! It's really hard to find good air con technicians nowadays in Kuala Belait that can be trusted with their words. Only if my cousin decide to run his own business I would definitely call him because he was trained and graduate from technical college. He can instantly tells which hardware faulty when looking and hear from it. Everything too late now and I have to wa...

Room Cleaning & Painting Operation Begin

Yesterday was supposed to work on my Gunpla as the time nearer. But rather working on that, I decided to start moving all my stuffs and furniture’s out before I start working on cleaning and painting this Thursday. It was a right decision choice starting early after realizing scraping and cleaning the wall before painting require taking so much time. I got to say the wallpapers are the main problem in the room. If I ever got a new house, I will never applied wallpapers every wall unless it was a kids or baby rooms. Geeezz, removing just the wallpapers taking so much hassle with only a door size already wasted two hours to make sure every area properly scrap clean. This is why contractors charge so much for cleaning and painting. Well, a good experience learning this sort of thing. Even though my original plan renovating my room coming this public holiday. By minimizing the time frame, I will slowly moving all my stuffs out of the room and doing the wall cleaning before preparing full p...

Sorry, but if this Mitt got elected. Good bye to America~! No one want to know how faithful you are, your people just want to know how can you fix the economics and having better living life.

Netcom 17th Anniversary Sales

Well, after getting my bonus cheque last weeks. Its time to do some shopping and grab something this month. I don't want to simply spend just on toys only, also since the black Friday coming so you got to spend wisely and try saving as much as you can. The Netcom anniversary sales comes unexpected on time this week and have been thinking getting some stuffs for my lappy. I do have to admit there is a lot of great deals offer but so far ended getting only Targus DFD backpack and A4Tech wireless mouse for B$17 each. I was hoping to replacing the aging Linksys wireless G router with Prolink product. Again, after learning Interhouse too throwing promotion on their AIO PIXMA printer, it just got me interested. I have been using paperless many years at home so it is time to get a printer to make both myself and my sister convenience in case we need to print out something last minute. For your information, this is PIXMA MG3170 model comes with built in WIFI and free promotion gifts ( PI...

TFsource Online Shop Review

While I slowly continue hunting new Transformers toys these days, there are times that I missed early pre-orders in RK due to monthly budget issue. This resulting ending up losing collecting my favorite toy from time to time or even wanted to get limited exclusive 3rd party including restock toys that only available in the west. Because of this issue, I spent sometimes survey some of the online stores from US that will meet my shopping requirements. One of the search results was TF Source , quite well known online toy store in the Transformer community as well sponsors for Transformers news site like Seibertron and TFW2005.

Former Swimmer Becomes Singer

I was really wondering what happen to the girl back then after she wasn't able to participate in the Olympic 2008 and not seeing her in London this year. Although not many people really cares, but it just brought into my mind remembering of her. But good to know she is doing well today after the previous mess scatter the dream of becoming Olympic athlete. Interestingly hearing her development, she is now a singer and recently released a new single two days ago called Hello World under the name, Eia, which you can purchase in iTunes store. She got her Facebook page setup also so you can check it out. I got to say the song and voice are pretty good.

WD My Passport External 1TB 2.5” HDD (Red Version)

Woo! Finally got my Western Digital 1TB external drive from KL! It sure took me a while buying one after the old one finally die out and not even one local shops able to sell the price for $125.00 so far. Well, now I don't have to worry without a HDD at work. Although I don't really like this type of external drive due to unable to open up in case of failure or faulty. I usually buy those internal type and get separately for the HDD chassis because it's much more reliable and easily able to test either one of them for problem without worrying voiding the warranty of the HDD. So far, I had a bad experience with Seagate when I first got it in the PC fair. But my sister using the WD version also from the PC fair still last until today and counting. Well, better off getting WD which is my trusted brand!

First Timer Blood Donation

Yesterday was the donation day organize by my company department, my friends told me about it so we went there together. As a first timer, I am glad to be fit and pass the medical test. The only bad thing happen is my blood aren't filling the bag coming from my right hand. The reason because I am sitting rather laying down in a bed like. So they asked me if I wanted to tried the left hand, I agree to go on and better choose the bed like sitting. Luckily all goes well seeing my blood flowing through filling the bag so fast. I always wanted to donate my blood, not just only giving out as a gift. From the medical research finding, your body are making fresh new bloods as well keeping yourself healthy. Of course there are people afraid of needles regardless how much they want to give out. For me, I am excited seeing it hitting through my vein. LOL!

Kid with Continuous Mistake Behavior

Everyone always learn from mistake no matter how bad we messed up. But it just that I have reach the tolerances guiding the freshman (again) how to work efficiently even not necessary to teach him how to use common sense every single time. He just continuously making different weird mistake everyday that officially pissed me off. He had been with us for seven months, SEVEN MONTHS!, with each days at work I have to scold more than twice either forgetful, stupid surprise or even bother trying something new. Worst, he is like a robot asking the same question and require us for the next steps that was the same repeated problems over and over again. This is seriously pissing me off and most headache of my life handling freshman who learned nothing and giving non-stop mistake without realizing until today. How can that be possible? People gives three chances or forgiveness. I give ten times of that with return results of disappointment. Fuck, I really wish to fired him on the spots no matter...

EA CON 2012 Gunpla Work Begin

At first I was so unsure if I might join or not while doing lots of planning looking for new jobs that probably might affect the EA CON participation in December. It’s hard to know for sure if I might even end up again with another one working on Saturday. Hopefully until then everything were fine and able to get my Gunpla submission. But for now, I just go ahead first working on ideas and think later. To avoid spending unnecessary money on new Gunpla, I am going to build either one (or two) that previous purchase backlog stay in my collections for years. It’s quite challenging clearing up the old stocks and now has to get new ideas without going to spend extra money on new parts. Well, both of them are already half way built so let’s see if I could discover more using the left over scarp Gunpla.

GNX-704T/SG Ahead Shogun

Nothing much idea and effort puts into the Ahead Shogun. I decided to work on the rough idea how will Ahead Sakigake might end up looking like after the engineers went through their trouble working next new idea upgrade to meet Mr Bushido expectation and performed same level against Gundam.

Not So Good Month

LOL, I just can’t believe I went straight broke yesterday after paying credit card debts and now waiting for auto transfer payment for my car loan. Everything that I spend last month hits me really bad over $1k and barely has enough to spend now. Even though my bonus is coming out soon which I believe won’t be much as expected due to my performance has been bad since involving less messy work I hated recently. The reason probably because I slowly pass down half of my work to the new guy and continue seeing his learning including performance. Sure, it did reducing the work load of mine so that I can focus more on other areas. But at the same time affecting my surrounding and motivations nowadays. I grow really tired working as standby and have to rush to site after working hours even during sometimes public holiday which really making me very unhappy from time to time. I guess this is the sign for telling myself it's time for a fresh start for me and start looking something new. It ...

RX-79BDR-01 Blue Destiny Unit 1 Kai

I have been thinking a while turning Blue Destiny Unit 1 into upgrade version. So I decided to get some ideas from various GM designs which ended up removing the twin chest weapons and replaced with intake duct nozzle. The other twin chest missiles now becomes sensor range. Most of the parts you see are belongs to GM type C and some broken Powered GM. I gives a lot of thought having version KA like. Somehow ended up looks weird, probably because of my fail coloring issue was the cause of it. Yeah, I tested out the Tamiya white prime 1000. The result were so bad or whatever I might mixed the wrong colors, but no. you can see the white colors are unbalance as few areas looks light and dark. I never expect this would happen and eventually trying using the whole can before starting applying the final painting. It just simply doesn't work no matter how much I spray on it. This shows white prime never was good choice for me and best to go for gray if I could find in local store tomorro...

No! No! No Toys!

Yes, no toys order for this month! Ha! I really manage to hold off and able to control my madness buying toys nowadays. Can't say that it's 100% never spend on anything but did pre-order four Chinese Hobby Japan Age wear Razor exclusive magazines from Hong Kong. Okay, it actually saves at least 10-15% compared buying direct from Japan nowadays. September really bad for me, almost everything falls at this month. Car insurance and servicing, air con water leaking, back pain and many exclusive toys pre-order just happen recently. Well, luckily some of the exclusive stuffs did fall on next year so I am pretty safe at the moment.

RGM-79QR GM Quel Refined

Okay, it sure took me quite long maybe five or six months back to get the photos up. Thanks to myself packing the room so much toys and useless stuffs around near the photo booth. Once I got the plastic container, I clear it up and starts taking the photo of my Gunpla works again. But somehow my Gunpla caught up with lots of dust! Anyway, nothing much to say about this build. Everything done on the mixing and well, looks good. LOL!

Next EACON on 12 2012

Yep, the next EACON upcoming event going to held in December this year. As far I more interested is the Gunpla competitions which currently the rules not yet known to the modelers yet. However, because the increase collectors and slowly expose over the year in Brunei. This is grantee going to be challenging which is of course depending how the organizers arrange the categories and rules. I'm not really sure about the numbers of entries this year as I didn't join the BPG 1st Anniversary last week but there are without doubt many great modelers participate on the contest showing their great works in the FB. There are chances seeing more participants hitting EACON Gunpla contest. However, I do need to be very careful which categories I about to submit. Last year was quite disaster choice and ended up seeing my Gunpla against the Star War and Diaroma car. So to avoid that mistake, I have to submit to the right categories instead. Still, finger cross.

Support Planetary Annihilation!

! Yes support them by visiting kickstarter ! Woot! This Planet Annihilation project really greatly impress a lot of us and hitting over US$1,161,560 today (and counting)! Now everyone and Uber Entertainment Inc are keep their eyes on the US$1,300,000 goal which I decided to jump aboard supporting this project by giving pledge US$100.00 and hopefully seeing more great features coming to this new RTS game! If you are previous owner of Total Annihilation and you love the damn games, you must support this project because we are going to have fun throwing asteroids and blowing up planets next year!

Play-Asia.com Officially a Ripper

For my own opinions, PA really going too far over their pricing for the collector editions stuffs. I have no idea what the fuck happen to their great pre-order services, it was total big let down ever that I can't imagine missing both pre-order on the Diablo 3 and with sudden ridiculous double pricing for Guild Wars 2 collector editions in a trusted store this year. It never was like this being a long time customer able to get so many great collector stuffs without single price problem hitting the order buttons. But now, either the pre-orders button never shows up even after the date line or bother giving any answers if they can officially getting those products. PA decided to went into ripping off mode on the customers money by playing eBay style doubling the price. Yeah, Guild Wars 2 CE is now priced at US$299.00 instead of official US$149.99. This is the biggest shit I ever expect this outcome from such a popular trusted site. I am now officially black listing and decided to del...

YesAsia.com Manga - August 2012

Finally got my latest order for the manga books last month during Yesasia.com summer sales. Not a lot of course, but I just couldn't hold myself picking up Attack on Titan volume one to five after getting some price slash love. If you never heard of it, I do recommend check it out. Attack on Titan is actually quite popular and won an award as well. What surprise me is the live action movie going to open next year. As usual, I also grab two Gundam series. For one was Gundam Unicorn Bande Dessinee volume 2 and I am so happy getting MSV The Return of Johnny Ridden volume one too. I have been waited for two years after the manga start on June 2010. there's no way I am going to missed the pre-order! As for the addition, the new Biohazard: Marhawa Desire volume one manga released last month. I didn't check the details of the story but the drawing looks really good and started this year. Well, I got to wait until I sit in the toilet than I will starts reading.

GNX III Reboot

Hehe...well, I just finished up Ahead Shogun and proceed with the next kit. I did originally planning to work on Gundam OO, somehow everything ended up working GNX III kit after finding way to fix the broken parts. If you ever sees my EA CON GNX Gladius build. I did ended up destroying 10% of the parts taken from the brand new GNX III box. The left over 90% going to be a long waste if I don't do something. Yeah, I did spend quite a lot of time sitting there thinking and play around left over parts in the box while letting Ahead Shogun sun bathing. Happily, I hit the right part and everything turns out good. This is just an early build because the theme is about creating variant ESF special GNX-III MS. I decided continuing messed around more finding out more possible way adding into the ideas.

Room Remake: The Planning

Surveying is of course the best move before starting. Even I have to make sure setting a right budget since I am going for DIY. My room isn't that big and also not my own house too. So I'm not planning to spend any unnecessary things except the furniture’s. But I do plans on getting rid the air conditioner and install ceiling fan instead. Problem Facing The current lasted almost more than 10 years and now water dripping problem. Not sure if its water blocks. Next month I will need to call up the technician to check and washed. If it's going to break down sooner, I see no point continuing repairing. This is what the ceiling fan comes to play which hopefully able to make my room cool. With the electricity fee increasing, probably a good move going for it. Paints After watching the World Greenest Homes and learned about low VOC paint that have low risk effect on human health. I decide went to one of the local hardware shops looking for one. It's good to know they actuall...

Lego 4430 Fire Transporter TRU Exclusive 2012

You just can't let this TRU Hari Raya BND$69.90 promotion eyes off when the original price is BND$99.90. So its $30.00 off for City 2012 TRU exclusive set! It sure took me long consideration back there. Heck, I never thought about getting this when I original aim are the creator beach house or new release Helicopter Rescue since I have collected some minifigures to make it more fun. Also a $10 off voucher I got two months ago. Well next time and hopefully TRU slash off the new City set again! Now, the Fire Transporter comes with three minifigures, two vehicles and mobile command base trailer. When hook up together, the whole length measure 49cm long. Assembling didn't take long which I believe only less than 30 min. Playability as well not much I have to admit and the box do misleading showing the minifigure can sit on the mobile command base bench with its fire helmet on inside. But it just seem to not happening because it hit the top unless I swap it into cap. LOL!

Heading Greenest Technology?

The World's Greenest Homes show by discovery channel really making me so tempting to build solar stuffs and remake my whole room. Damn the people behind this architecture are really amazing! The ideas of using recycles are also inspires me a lot thinking twice spending unnecessary money buying furniture in the futures too. It just too bad no markets in Brunei really have many options offering solar technologies or producing recycles stuffs that can helps this country reducing unnecessary wastes. Even we are not sure if any architects are any expertise offering advice possible building green housing. I am sure the Governments are supporting and encourages us using reuse materials. it just that sometimes we do have to make sure those aren't belong to someone even to the Governments property so it's quite tricky if you can simply use it. Anyhow, I do plan to make over and repair my room as a start. Everything are going to be DIY including some idea challenge reusing the old fu...

In Da Dota 2 World

My blog might seem to be dead without any update. It just that the Dota 2 game really keep me company every 2 hours a day and five to six during weekend. I got to say getting addicted doesn't look good for me. Not really that over my head shutting self playing game only. I do went to execise every three to four times a week after work and not to mention adjusting drinking lemon water almost every day. As for the Gunpla, yes I am still continue to working on. The latest one currently readying for painting this week which should be completed during Hari Raya holiday. There are two previous already completed as well but it just that I'm too lazy to snap photos and clean up the photo booth table. I'm working on it, just the matter of when only.

Fucking dammit! Why the fuck did they only announced in Twitter!

Terrible Decision In The End

I am really having a tough time lately. Suddenly the shits just landed in your office for no warning which I later know what's going on. But people don't give shits about your priority situations and turning blind on the instructions just complaining non-stop can't do this and that. Well, I don't give a shit either. Now, the terrible decision I am fucking pissed and unhappy about is keeping the fail freshman as permanent. My previous complains post way back in May this year was planning to extend his probation three more months because of unsatisfied performance. However, during his training I discover he lies about work experience and learns nothing from previous company. This is surely big problem for us as well to the company. I reported and made wise suggestions to the management extending the training to ensure his is ready. But all was in vain, turning deaf and decided to give him permanent. I feel very outrages about this issue while seeing him continues perform ...

WHY NO PS VITA VERSION!!!!

Irresponsible Always Survive

Fuck these people, really to hell with these suckers. Once you see it with you own eyes, probably thinking the best course is give a big hard punch into the face. I can't believe people just nowadays can be so ignorance not listening your opinions and worst not giving solutions rather doing 'Tai Chi' in front of you. How can you expect people find solutions them self when you are supposed to be the one giving advise and provide solutions? I don't know whether I am working with jokers expecting us perform miracles. If we really could do that, anyone can start their own Facebook company and success. All I know no matter what, irresponsible always survive and responsible person gets into trouble. That's the common law in real life and disgusting. Shitty people behaviors can change once reaching the high position not to understand what people trying to suggest. They are always right and good talking rubbish theory. I'm no longer in the mood wasting time talking thro...

Never Again Give Out Anything

Sometimes being too good is bad for yourself. People are becoming greedy and slowly asking so much should get slap in the face. After giving out my PC to my cousins because thinking they hardly can afford one for their children so that the family can learn and use it for their school project or work. I was wrong, instead getting complains the PC are too slow not using Window Vista/7 and complains using outdated software’s (MS Office 2010). I don't give a shit their children mumbling over the stuffs. But the mother, she pissed me off so bad and telling shit that got nothing to do with the educations. When the son whispering over that the school need this and that, she hopes I would provide and upgrade everything for free. I thought our relatives in China are shitty greedy, seems like there isn't any different in Brunei. Whatever what the school says, I don't buy a single shit requesting the parents spending unnecessary money on the computers. My generosity already provide a...

More Lego Alien Conquest and City

Seriously, I can’t get enough on Alien Conquest. Last month, I went ahead grabbing the Alien Mothership for $129.90 (including 5% off) at KB toy shop. Despite getting low rating product and review, honest it’s not that bad. Overall its quite fun to build and the Alien commander is nice leading his armies. I also grab four mini figures Alien Conquest Battle Pack from eBay together with two Lego road plate sets. Man, it is hard to find these road plates in Brunei in Nanyang KB, Hua Ho and TRU for many months now. So far only the green and gray plates randomly available and sold out quickly. The current sets I got made are 2005 version so I do kinda wonder why Lego road plates never updated or re-release for City series until now. While I continue very slowly building City family, I got this year Car and Caravan at TRU store. Since they were running school holiday promotion, freeing BND$10.00 coupon for purchasing over $50.00 was not a bad deal when you can use until next month. The...

Crimson Rain

Nah, I'm not really good listening rock music. But today I am sharing Crimson Rain because my former classmate (known as Pras K) who love singing achieves his dream forming rock band and now performing in Malaysia. His group also released a brand new single, “ Catastrophe ” which you can visit their FB page listen for free (or Youtube above). Good news if you are living in Malaysia, they have been invited by Aloud Asia performing in Rockafellas Petaling Jaya. So if you live there, check them out! Crimson Rain is an Alternative Rock bands from Auckland, New Zealand. Initially starting of with pieces of riffs, ideas and determination, Crimson Rain has set most listeners alight with their ferocious/ambient sound, magnetic head-banging riffs, catchy rhythmic beats , and elegant beautiful solos. Their recent singles, The Mask Within and Why are proof of their sound and direction. Having started in May 2010, Pras K and long time friend Avi Pranish decided to collaborate and embark...

Go For PS Vita?

After the PS Vita launched this year, I was so tempting to get one. However the local price does drive me off and not much interesting games giving any attention. New games still continue heading to PSP especially my favorite SD Gundam G Generation Overworld titles is launching in September. Sadly, there isn't any news or mention by the developer on Vita version release. My plan on getting the device still not yet decided. Most probably after looking at my bonus pay out than I will decide which is the best course either going for PS Vita or DSLR. Until there are more great games are available especially the title I mention above and most importantly not require always download from online. Let’s see how it goes.

A New Start Plans

It's annoying having to think what kind of life should really expect next at 30. I didn't have much answers for myself not until attending my school reunion dinner last week then finally a few answers pops up in my mind. First off, dieting. I have been gaining weight over 6-7 years now and seeing many of my friends maintains so well at dinner making me so uncomfortable. So it's time to push myself off more on exercise and healthy dieting harder since I love junk foods so much. Yes, I can eat anything without problem. Secondly, time for saving and start traveling. I really been non-stop buying toys and other silly things online too much. Truth to myself, I haven't been able to save any single cents in my bank account. That was fucked up things in life without saving in case of emergency. It's time to spent less and toys. Thirdly, a make over. I'm talking about looks and clothing. I totally suck at fashion thingy so probably might as well do some changes over my d...

Who Killed Rosie Larsen?

The Killing season two finale end with great surprised uncover the person who killed Rosie Larsen, very sad ending. I got to admit this is the most enjoying TV drama ever watched under crime category and true to the best telling each of the characters own secrets throughout the episodes in season one & two. Even though the police works and investigations are slowly just to finding out the true killer. The story just can go anywhere with plenty of hints and guessing unless you remember every suspects stories during their questioning. If you got the chance to see it on Astro or full DVD releases in the future. Recommend you prepare your snacks and watch it! But do note there are F-words and porn scenes. Hey you still gotta watch it! About: The Killing ties together three distinct stories around a single murder including the detectives assigned to the case, the victim's grieving family, and the suspects. Set in Seattle, the story also explores local politics as it follows poli...

Age 30, What's Next?

Hmmm...I guess age 30 is officially becoming fucking old now. Never imagine time flow so fast that I even realized not until last week. So, what's next? I don't know, really. Everything about tomorrow. The primary things in life, getting relationship. This is the only shit gives me a lot of scary thought, for one I earned low income and doesn't own a house. That's the thing I am facing right now. I know, people always told me to think that shit later. But for girls and especially the family nowadays, not much to expect these days would accept it. Maybe I just gone too far saying about it, however this sadly simply just happen to be reality. Of course not 100% applies to all the girls including the parents. All parents do have the right to make sure their daughter married to good wealth man, well treated and doesn't wish them to suffer. Chinese culture are the most fearsome and I happen to witness my younger uncle getting poke by the wife family comparing the siste...

IT Technician Doesn't SOLVED EVERYTHING!

I can't really think of any better title fitting for my post. But it just recently having a lot of thought at my work place, beside having shitty time teaching freshman how to work and being forgetful. I am beginning to get pissed off easily seeing how dumb people are becoming and so lazy to learned from it when just very simple thing. How simple is that I am talking about? For one, inserting speaker jack into the PC. I am talking both young and adult doesn't know how to insert a fucking sound jack into the PC. Imagine how many years that really mentally stressful I had to deal this kind of fucking retarded request every day. Not to mention sometimes I have to rush over for nothing just to fix this kind of problem during the critical. Being a IT Technician which normally people always think of repairing and troubleshooting hardware stuffs. Yes that is correct. It just the rule doesn't apply at all in my place and slowly becoming some kind of help desk solving users problem ...

Gov’t Web Down!

Again, nothing big surprise. I'm sure many of us expecting that silly hacking stunt coming. Either the website security never update or check or even scan for suspected virus and malware in the server by the IT. Although I have no right making such baseless claim in this post, but I do believe the Governments' employee's PCs or servers may largely infected. I know because I encounter (few) Governments employees pen drive contains virus when transferring presentation data into our office PC. Even the burn CDR data I discover were all fake with infected files after the people complains to me why it can't open and the AV annoy message keep popping up blocking it. You may say probably our office PCs were infected, sorry that ain't going to happen under my watch. My practices always disabling the autorun, installed good USB Guardian and AV program including latest Window updates keeping the system virus free as long as possible. Yes, it takes longer time to do and get c...

Rebuild Window 2012

I was busy finalizing my programs install this past few weeks after reformatting my Window into 64bit and restoring data. I don't really quite like reformatting Windows nowadays when they easily becoming unstable for long use and can't be easily repairs. No matter how new the Window version going to be, there always repeating same problem in the end. For now, the headache are gone and decided almost everything running freeware programs including some are giveaway licenses too. Many of the programs I installed are already enough for daily use without require spending single cents. I do have to admit moving away from Microsoft Office does feel uncomfortable but the current LibreOffice does do the job very well with grammar checking feature. It just the CV I am working does mess up LOL!

Too Rich for New Generation of PRC

Even if you are not aware how rich China has become nowadays, the new generation of People of Republic China (PRC) majority have becoming so cocky over their family wealth. I'm not quite too sure if this show pulling this stunt intentionally to increase their viewers rating and popularity. But this teenager does fuck up their country image, as always do. No surprising and thanks to one child policy. This video will explain everything but speak Chinese language, sorry. I'm not good at translating but apparently this kid say he doesn't want to smash the watermelon using his head and somewhat because he is from wealthy family that could mess up his image. He then throws money into the table asking the host to do instead. LOL

What's Next for piracy in Brunei?

We maybe continue looking towards downloading TV and movies at online. But for me, local companies are actually more at risk compare to home users pirating in the internet. Every local business owners can be easily a target by piracy watch or someone wants to pokes them which already happen on year 2008. If you don't remember, read this article here . No one can estimate how many are still using pirated office or drawing programs running their business in Brunei today. My guess are around 90% using illegal programs and 10% probably just Window license. I know because I am an IT Technician. Leave out the operating system since almost new OEM system comes with license. However buying Microsoft office already cost half of the new desktop PC price and it does hurt the companies capital budgets no matter how large the organizations were. Of course we have to consider which versions we are talking about. Even so, the office “Professional” version could price you around $450.00 BND for on...

Lego Exo Force Sentai Fortress 7706

Amazingly, this set is still available when I go up to the capital last week shopping at Hua Ho. I last saw was last year (forget when) and didn't imagine continue to find it there. Although the box does wear off badly and open. I run a check and inspect with the permission from the sales lady. The content and stuff inside does feel missing. Well, I may be wrong as well because I have been so long not playing Lego so its hard to remember how to check the contents inside properly. But I went on swiping my card and drive back home. Build it straight away and regret later if really missing. So, anything missing? No, I am so happy not a single bricks missing after completing the build. This set truly an epic despite it’s 2006 released. I planning to pursuit another one and hopefully able to get one more from other Hua Ho branch if still available today.

Goodbye Masterpiece Grimlock!

Okay I have been busy doing some clean up on my toys. Last two weeks, it was Takara Transformers Masterpieces Grimlock . Too bad I have to sold for 70% of the value to the collectors. Still not bad and also lesson not to open expensive toy boxes for photographing. Otherwise I can still selling off more than 120% value today market. The Masterpieces product doesn't seem to be worth buying and the designs does look cheap for some reason the more I continue to observe. The answer just hit my mind telling me better spend on Transformers Voyager series. They have better quality and design which even have more fun accompany by 3rd party upgrades. Even though my Grimlock doesn't have any issue or broken. But it just if something happen to the toys out from the new box, either broken and bad manufacturing parts then this will definitely hurt your selling value to the collectors market. To play safe with my spending, no more Masterpieces series in the future.

Blue Screen of death No More!

Took me a while deciding to buy new Kingston ValueRAM 2x2GB memory ram to replace my current Cosair 2x2GB brand. I don't remember when I last warranty it but their brand sure suck causing my PC auto restarting itself or crash during booting. I think about for years now. Back then the memory ram price jet up a lot so I tried keeping my spending low until my system die. I guess it's not possible as I believe my current gaming still can last for another two years or more before replacing whole new hardware. There isn't any point of spending bunch of money on the PC upgrade when I can't even last ten minute playing many first person shooting games nowadays. My friend told me to tried out ginger tea before hitting the games. That only works extra thirty minutes or so and I’m entirely done motion sicking. Probably hitting old age so my body are too weak handling this kind of games. Sad hate to say. I also purchase Cooler Master U2 Notebook cooling pad for my laptop at Ne...

Finally Mindwipe Join Up with Skystalker!

Phew! I am lucky enough to secure ROTF Mindwipe at eBay this month. The price is still good despite being so long. It sure does take me a while looking for the best price as possible when Headrobots announced Darksol upgrade for it. The price suddenly jet up so best to grab fast while the price just $10 more expensive. Even though the work is still in the early stage but that excited me and can't wait to grab it. It just looks fantastic. Now Skystalker can dock with Mindwipe without being alone.

Training Freshman

Never thought I would reach at the age of teaching freshman at works. Although it just started last month. I'm not too quite happy about and have that kind of patience on teaching. Its not like too stingy passing my skill, but not so sure if IT Technician require to teach when plenty of the guides and tips can be found on the internet nowadays. Also depending how you adjust and make good use on the field. Now, how does the freshman doing? Headache is the only word I could describe at the moment. Yes, anger does go up these past few weeks. My colleagues are much more angrier and ignore him in the end. For me, I can't and it's my responsible to guide and teach him at work. It just unbelievable challenging to teach when he is twice forgetful than me and disrespectful towards seniors. Still the biggest problem I never face is such young person being forgetful and unwilling to learn properly, even think logically when assigning simple tasks to complete when few minutes work beco...

Lego Agent 2.0 Aerial Defense Unit–GET!

HA! I went to brought the Lego Agent 2.0 Aerial Defense Unit (8971) set yesterday when after seeing at the KB local toy shop offering damn great deal on Saturday. I can't turn down this B$115.90 price and not to mention cover with plastic seal. Nowadays this set already cost twice and triple if you plan to get online. Well, of course at eBay. Quite lucky I am no one yet grab this set while I done some survey and calculating for the original market price. It was a dangerous move delaying purchase this 2009 release Lego. So I guess best to prepare a list of the pricing and keep into my phone to making better choice. LOL! I also grab another two more mini-fig and a brick removal tool. I have been looking for that so long and happily grab one without holding back.

End of April 2012

Considering this is a late last minute shopping in the local store. I decided to grab some paints but instead just two Lego Mini Figure series 6 and a Tamiya primer. My stuffs are currently on the way so I need this primer to do some work for me. I didn’t buy much since today the last day of April. I best save a bit and begin my shop fest tomorrow. Yesterday I also done some old Gunpla stock that I left over. Well, it’s Mr Bushido actually. Since I got Smultron cheap at HLJ last order, I plan to rebuilt and do some mixing into Shogun. It is still in progress so I decided did some blurry image until final mixing phase. BTW, the Kotobukiya claw sword does suit well with Shogun. Anyway, before I head off. The two series 6 I got from inside are Alien san and mechanic.

Another Fuck Up from HSBC Seria

I simply just can’t believe it yesterday went to get my card at Seria branch. That bitch from last week told me the current card I holding is cancel. After getting the card from another counter, she told me this one is actually cancel. I was filling with crazy rage and like what, again? She runs a double check and verification. SPAM! It was indeed an old card that was actually report lost and delivers back to their main HQ. This mean the one I am holding actually a real card instead of cancel and lost one. Wow, that just wow and unbelievable I was fool again for another week. How could they even possible make such huge mistake when there is computer assisting her with real time update on customers account information? The funny thing the girl that serves me telling me it could be late system update. Completely bullshit, that is the worst excuse cannot agree on and fucking won’t work on me. If that is only one or two days, maybe I will buy it on the delay updating. But for one week the ...

HSBC Brunei – The Best Customers Fuck Up Bank

Indeed it was. I can’t believe this local HSBC staffs who process my new replacement credit card are bunch of cunts. No communications with their own staffs and even read English at all. These people totally make my days like deep shit past few weeks and now making big fake promise telling me to pick up the card today that was reported missing and already cancel. Although the primary plan was supposed to deliver to the Seria branch so I can pick up during the first week. It just I don’t know which smart ass fucker working in HSBC makes decision changing to deliver by courier services. Not only the stupid and dumb courier services fail to deliver, they even fail to call me if even ever sending over as well. This useless courier just delivers back to Jerudong HSBC branch like nothing happen. If I know who they are, I will definitely call and fucked them even post the name of the dumb company here. Fucking useless people! This is not only the reason I am crazy mad about this, the HSBC ev...

Next Gunpla Project: Blue Destiny Unit 1 Repair and Gundam O HWS Reboot

It is still unconfirmed project at the moment. I only manage to work out the sample build at the moment and found out later needing another GM parts to complete my imagine repair design. I thinking about doing some mod on the torso, so far the first idea was fix figuration version. But after looking for better option, the GM Sniper Custom does looks better. I’m not sure how good my hand works on this. I will give it a try once I get more tweak on this build. As for Gundam O HWS, it is a reboot project from last year. I was supposed to work on this and put it on the first EA Con Gunpla competition. Due to me unable to meet the date and time figuring out how to design into heavy weapon system, I later abandon this idea. Right now, I am unsure the direction I plan on going. The first thing is buy the Gunpla Love! book and hopefully able to find out more ideas.
