Hasbro is finally making some sense by re-releasing the movie-accurate figures. I mean that's wat we saw in the movies and loved rite? :D Of coz, it would be helpful if they released them in a larger quantity. This Bumblebee was insanely hard to obtain, and can be seen selling on eBay at ~RM100 easily (cost price is RM49.90). Better yet, why not ship a whole case of Bumblebee and solve this world-wide shortage... I'm sure many kids wud love tat! Me included of coz.. ;)

"Many things..."

Part 1: Spider-Man 3 again!
Things to do after watching Spidey 3 again... Hahaa...

Part 2: Awakening the Buddha Within
Check out the new book I bought few weeks ago. Actually been eyeing it for awhile (few months!) but kept saying, ok, I'll buy it, but lets wait till there's a discount blablabla excuses blablabla cheapo blahblahblah.....

... up till one point I said, Hey man... you can spend RM500 a month on Star Wars & Transformers without hardly blinking, but you need to think so much for a RM69.90 book?? Come on!

0767901576.01.LZZZZZZZ

I'd probably be the last person you'd expect to be reading this kinda book... but at some point in time, we will all experience the emptiness of the soul... So lets clear the illusions/delusions from our minds and begin our search for the ultimate wisdom of the universe!

Part 3: Missing Control Panel!
Yesterday night was attacked by a trojan/virus/spware shit while surfing. Damn thing keep popping up a warning telling me to download a spyware remover (Ironic eh... a spyware telling me to download a spyware remover?!) Then, after restart PC, my control panel disappeared! And I couldn't access any system icons.. Holee...

something

Searched the net for advice, downloaded a host of spyware removers (real ones of coz). Still cannot clean completely. This morning, open a search for all the files created at the time-of-crime. Got it! autorun.exe ok.... DELETE -> restart -> Problem solved! :D

Yeah, beat that creep! ;)

"ROBOTECH"

When I was a kid, there was one TV cartoon that I really liked. It's called ROBOTECH.

... in a nutshell:

ROBOTECH is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their homeworld against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millenium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture."


Dunno you all remember or not... I liked it so much that I even wanted to be a pilot when I grew up! Now, thanks to the wonders of modern tech we can watch it again!

All that was in a 85-episode saga back in the 80's. Now they have just released a continuation to resolve the cliffhanger ending at episode #85:

"Someone's wedding..."

Remember last weekend when it was raining non-stop? Most likely we'd stay home, but I got invited to a little event: Someone's wedding! Someone? Who? Err... good question... she's my gf's cousin's daughter... my gf's cousin is 30 years older than her... and she barely know them.... man, that makes me the most irrelevant person there! What the heck, jz go there n eat... And maybe take some pics along the way ;)

No one really bothered with me there. It was kinda miserable. Tried to fit in the crowd, but it was so hopeless I gave up after awhile. Just kept quiet and whack the Skol beer :P

Well, lets see what pics we have here:

Nice special effect...

The usual stuff... If you've been to a Chinese wedding, you've been them all...
DSC00170
The bride and groom, with their family. I could almost swear I've seen that gal before... and the groom looks so young. I almost hesitated to shake his hands coz I kinda doubt whether he was the groom! Hahahaa :P

Ok, by now I was terribly bored. No one really layan me at all...

Balik la....

DSC00177
Posing back at home... :P check out the special watercolor effects!

OMG, that was more fun than the entire dinner.............. :-S

CZ-4, Umpass-Stay, Concept Darth Vader

One nice figure is the new Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker! He comes with a soft outer tunic which can be removed .... and we can finally recreate the most memorable scene in the entire Star Wars saga (for me la):

the Final Jedi Duel on the 2nd Death Star!

"You already have, Luke. You already have. Tell your sister, you were right about me..."

DSC00156
Anakin becomes One with the Force...

Another cool figure is Elis Helrot. Elis who?? Hehe, I dunno also. Only those hardcore fans who know every alien's name would appreciate this figure. But he come with a cool Cantina table which can be combined with the previous parts to recreate another very fun scene...



The Mos Eisley Cantina!
