Gundam OO Movie PV Trailer

Man, can’t wait for it on September!

Ami-Ami February 2010 Online Order

Got a pretty good price from Ami-Ami sales and also half price for EMS shipping really helps to saved half of my online spending this month. Actually this is only just too making up for Ami-Ami because the previous pre-order I did not pay them last month. Well, I do that on purpose for testing and see how it going to end up.

What I got here are all HG versions Seed VS Astray: Regen for 46% off, Mr. Bushido’s customize Ahead for 60% off and OO Gundam Seven Sword for 25% off.

HLJ.com also doing crazy sales on Gunpla this month and wish to collect the best offers appear in my wish lists. Yet and again, I am going to see and carefully plan for next month because I just found that the exchange rate for SG to Yen has fall again slightly. Last December 2009 was 1 SGD = 62.5YEN and now this February is 1 SGD = 61.6 YEN. This is not really looking good for us.

Buying things from Japan require some deep monitoring on the exchange rates this time, just because they are doing promotion it doesn’t mean we are paying lesser.

Gong Xi Fa Chai! ROAR!!!

Avoid Using Sensitive Words

I never like to be a racist person in life. Although I am an Atheist, also very straightforward person who can talks many different subjects that are very sensitivity issues. I always try to keep the rude words away and very careful what I am talking when other races were just beside you. Of course, unless they don’t really mind so that’s different stories. But to me, it won’t happen, because every 98% races are going to be very curious what subjects are you really into that make them think you are racists.

Probably most of you already know that when it comes to racisms, Malaysia is the most in trouble because of the political issues. I am not too worried about Brunei. We all know that it won’t be happening because even if there are, it just going to be estimate 1-3% only. It’s a small numbers and won’t affect our relationship between Chinese and Malay.

Today, we just happen chatting about the situation in Malaysia between the Chinese and Malay. The only people who can give us the slight ideas and answers are those come from there. No, please be reminding that there is NO racist subject involved. It just that the words Malaysian-Chinese’s uses are way very sensitive and too open in their discussion causing misunderstanding. I was totally freak out sitting with them when the local Malays were just beside us and start glance at us. Yes, they were unhappy and quite pissed off.

I am so damn worried about their misunderstanding because one of my friends kept using ‘Halal’ and ‘Melayu’ words in the subject too often in our mandarin conversations. Luckily I was able to put it to stop continuing using those words but they simply think it’s normal. I don’t know how Malaysian-Chinese discusses these topics in Malaysia. To me, it just too risky for them so straight forward in Brunei and it’s bad if anything goes wrong.

Again, nothing racisms subject involved, we are simply just asking what happen when Chinese going to Malay shops and restaurants in Malaysia and how they would feel. Well, only two states I can gather so far. According to them, Malay in Sarawak is one of the friendliest with other races. But not in Sabah from what I heard, because they dislike Chinese very much and don’t serve them. I don’t know if that are true, since I never been to these two states before in my life so can’t gave exact answers to this subjects.

But anyhow, I do not have the power to stop people being racists or too open minded in their discussions. When you chat about any sensitivity subjects in coffee shops or restaurant, my advise always avoid using those words that others understand it sitting beside you even you are trying to be racists. It may not be good ideas but it’s better than getting involved into fights for misunderstanding forever.

Hasbro Toy Fair 2010 in NY

After waking up in the early morning during the first day of Chinese New Year, I would first check out twitter news. Yes, one of them is Transformers news and totally obsessed with it today. This is indeed good news to all TF fans because Hasbro finally decided to release Drift (once known as Deadlock in Decepticon faction) in Universe 3.0! OMG so happy! I couldn’t wait to get my hand on him sooner. I have been waiting for him to be release for quite a while. His appearance in the vehicle mode makes him looks great. It seems like my restart for this year is lucky one.

There are also some new products announced in the toy fair, the two of them are Powercore Combiners and War for Cybertron. All I can say it’s going to be a good buy after Hasbro reveal the price. Less talking and check out the TF site for the coverage and the images taken on live!

Happy Chinese New Year Eve!

Well, to me. It’s a crap CNY new year because I heard one of the Chinese guy get into car accident has passed away this AM. I don’t know about him personally but my company fellow sent us an email if anyone of us would donate blood to the victim yesterday in Ripas Hospital.

Anyway, I always feel CNY going to be boring in Brunei so nothing special to celebrate unless you travel to Taiwan as over there are much more lively in the festival. Tomorrow will be the day of work washing my clothes before going to my grandma house.

It’s time to get myself bath and continue watching my bidding in eBay status. ^^ Here’s one of the Gundam Unicorn seven minute preview clip on Youtube! Yes, I can’t wait to watch it

Internet Surfing Crawling

Something is terribly wrong with eSpeed this week and normal surfing the internet including downloading is crawling like shit! Thanks to that I lose my two bids from eBay because it won’t load the website properly during the critical time closing. Well, good for saving my spending but bad for losing exclusive deals.

I already done my eSpeed test last night and it appear to be correct speed on download and upload. I check my phone line, everything works perfectly. Luckily I have few friends using Twitter so I am able to keep track on their update and manage to found out that they are experiencing the problem too. Its funny why the network engineers unable to spot this issue in the first place and waited for the customers to start complains before taking action. I made the call and the operator has confirmed with me there is a problem.

You can’t possibly get too much information from an operators so you should refrain firing them for the problems. The only people should be blame and get fuck is those network engineers taking so long to fix the problem or maybe not doing anything at all. This is why our country business performs so badly because of the incompetent internet services causes so much trouble and temporary down from time to time. All they know is blaming on the exchange system or because your locations are too far and your phone line has problem. What’s more?

Nowadays every business is depending on the internet to work 24 hours and yet we continue experience such issue from Telbru (and Brunet) without trying to solve it. We pay so much for fucking internet charges and hoping for better change in the internet performance and yet we got no improvement at all. I don’t know what to say any longer to Telbru and believe this is what they want the customers to be growing tired complaining. Not for me, as long I am in need the internet working. I will continue to made my complains and find out what the hell is wrong with it. I worked as IT technician have to do multitask in work to keep track on every issue too. All else I am also get fuck by my bosses even it wasn’t my job in the first place.

Okay, there are guesses on this problem. I suspect it got to do with the US connection link between Asia got cut off or maybe there are problems. Since, there are no news about any under water optic fibers been damage so finger cross. However, I did notice those sending email to certain countries address are experiencing bounce back issue. Just my thought.

Room Tidy Up for CNY

Been busy lately tidying up my room yesterday and its now clean. Not much things to move around except putting out most of my MG Gundam on top of the shelf as I have no idea when I might even start building them. I was actually expecting to start assemble this month. But it stills another month for spending and had to shell out cash for my mom for CNY too. Thanks to the new TAP law started fucking up my income!

Anyway, nothing much activity at the moment for me as I am also preparing work my ass out coming CNY. I hate doing maintenance at such hurry time before coming March. Yes, it’s going to be fast and quite a few public holidays too.

Here’s a new video from namewee to boost up the CNY mood. Sorry it speak in Mandarin but its funny if you understand it.
