Easier Said Than Done

I'm back ^^....

Finally..

A bunch of things happened to me this week.

Firstly, I'd like to welcome back my laptop from "almost dead" state. -_-"

Yeah..2 days ago, it was sunday, my laptop just "died" suddenly just when I was in the middle of watching Naruto...and it was on its good part of the story too...damn... not really died but more like, crashed.. bunch of green colored stripes all over my monitor. When I restarted my laptop, the screen shows some mysteriously decipherable image which I simply just could not comprehend....I see... symbols... what could it be?








I was just kidding.. the backlight still functions but the monitor displays nothing.. just black screen.. I tried restarting it a couple of times but with the same result. I can hear all the sounds of Vista logging in and I blindly typed my password to successfully log in my laptop. Then, I would press the Windows key, and tapped right direction a few times, hoping that it would highlight the Shutdown command, which I successfully had done a few times until I'm quite sure there was something unrecoverable about the display thingy in my laptop.

So, I decided to go out that day. Can't call for services because it was Sunday. So I went to Mid Valley, bought 3 comic books(Prequels for the Transformers 2 movie and its adaptation), bought 1 transformers which I'll tell about in other post and tried to make a duplicate of my house key(cyberjaya house).

The house key has another story of its own...which i might tell later on.

Basically I go to other few places after that, then that evening have some practice with Freeloaders INC for some event on Wednesday.

The next day(Monday), about 9am, I woke up and called Dell to ask them to repair my laptop. They sent someone on the next day(Tuesday) and changed the whole motherboard & hard disk. Apparently the problem lies in my display adapter and my hard disk... T_T

So, now my laptop has a brand spanking new brain & HDD. ^^ I just hope I can make backups for all those precious data on my old HDD.

Now about the house key, to summarize, I practically already made 3 duplicates of the house key & none of them seem to work. What the hell??! Have to go again to the shop tomorrow to ask them make the key properly.

So that's it for the troublesome stuff that happened.

Something 'good' happened to me about last week if I'm not mistaken... I finally (presumed) that I ended my single life and get into a proper relationship with someone. I was happy. Yeah.. who doesn't? Cinta berputik semua mau jiwang2.. XD
I was content. I feel blessed. I feel all those good things in such a short amount of time.

Learned something shocking(at least it is shocking for me) tonight. Apparently, the girl, IS CURRENTLY in a relationship with another guy. It looks like I was just there as a substitute because at the time her boyfriend doesn't seem to give her enough attention(don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing. This is just my understanding of her situation with her bf)

Maybe this is not a big deal to anyone, but it is, at least shocked me like "What the F?" but I said "it's OK. I'm okay. I can handle it. No big deal. Things like these are normal. We can't force how we feel to one another. Bla bla bla." All those positive stuff.

IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

I can't blame the girl though. I'm at fault as well. What the hell am I doing falling for the girl so fast.

Hey, I'm no saint. Just an ordinary guy with ordinary mental capabilities. So, naturally I was upset. Damn. I guess I don't have the luck for getting into this relationship stuff. Better just concentrate on other things.

My first post in July is this pointless ranting. Bear with me(for anyone who's reading this post) ^^

p/s: find any errors in my grammar.. just for fun. I wanna learn English too damnit!!

Holiday holiday~

I'm now in Kuching..

As usual, I will seldom go online when I'm in Kuching, so, there will be little(if any) posts for my blog while I'm still on holiday..

Alright! I'm off to sleep.

Kyrios 1/100 Review Pt.1

Finally finals over...

Okay, it's time I try reviewing one of my Gundam.

This is Kyrios of scale 1/100. Kyrios is the third Gundam from Gundam 00 Season 1 I bought. The first being 1/100 Dynames, followed by 1/100 Exia.
Firstly I like the color of the gundam of course...somewhat in the yellow family..
I pretty much like the designs of all 1/100 scale gunplas from this series. They are all very detailed and the articulations are not bad.



Being a 1/100 scale model, there are quite a lot of paintings to do for this kit. I've learned using a clear paint in the process of assembling this kit. I mixed clear blue & yellow to achieve a desirable clear green effect for the green panels on the chest, arms & the side of its head. You can't really see the effect from the photo above, the green panel looks like black because of the lighting.


In the photo above, I've marked the parts that are painted. Mostly with grey paint which I paint using grey gundam marker. There are also some dark grey part that are painted on the gun. Yeah.. so basically you have to do all the paintings to achieve the amount of details which for me is quite good enough.


Okay, now here you can see the green effect achieved from the clear green paint.(The original color of the green circular panel is just clear transparent. I've been wondering how to achieve that effect for some time. Finally I'm glad to know that there's no need for fancy2 techniques.


I also did my usual sanding technique using tamiya abrasives to achieve the matt look. Combined with the Real Touch Marker for the panel lining, it makes the kit looks a bit weathered(with some shadow effect & all).


This is the view from the back. Looks quite bulky. Kyrios is a transformable mobile suit. So, the articulation is not as flexible as either Dynames or Exia and this gundam is the type that looks better posed with a stand. Its design is for aerial combat after all.

Size comparison with a HG 1/144.

This is it for the 1st part, next part would be the transformation & some action poses.

Oh my God....~

I cried...

I Swear Saya Cinta Kamu

Sumpah I Love You.

Another song by an Indonesian group with cute girls
The group is called MahaDewi.

Shortly after Dewi Dewi disbanded, 2 of the former members of Dewi Dewi, Shinta Dewi & Purie Andriani formed a new group named MahaDewi.

Although consists of the same members(minus one of course), MahaDewi starts of sounded different from DewiDewi.

Have a listen..(or watch)
