ZOIDS!

Wow, where was I in the '80's when these babies came out? Obviously collecting ZOIDS! I remember when I was in Standard 5, I have been interested in Zoids at that time but never bought one because they were too expensive, not that I can afford it. So I pester my parents to get me one, they didn't. I remembered calling my grandmother all the way from Johore to buy it for me in KL. And you know what? The first ever Zoids I got was from my grandmother. The rest was "you see… grandma got me my first Zoids" and the rest came naturally from my parents, hehehe..

Behold Tomy is reissuing many of the Zoids and even creating some new ones! Look for them at your local hobby store and they are currently sold in Toys 'R' Us & departmental stores. I don't think there is ever any hardcore collector nowadays. Thankfully the wonders of the Internet also allow us to mail order these straight from Japan. Since smitten by the Zoid bug, I've never bought one Zoids for myself until last week and only after 20 years! Really brought back memories. Toys 'R' Us only had a handful of boxes left of Zoids, yet I have to remove the dust from the boxes. I guess it has been left there for ages and no one buys them. I even suspect they aren't distributing this in Malaysia anymore. (hope not)

I also tried to locate some vintage 80's Zoids. If anyone wants to sell them at a decent price. I will gladly buy them.

By the way for those that doesn't know what Zoids are. Out of the box it comes in parts which you need to assemble just like any Gundam figurine. You can paint them if you want. They are all animated collectibles, some are battery powered and some have windup motors. The linkage of moving parts is really amazing engineering, they are marvelous to watch.

Watta Weekend

This was the weekend we spent to ourselves as married couples amidst the barrage of people last weekend who wanted to pinch our cheeks, shakes our hands, sign autographs and relentless paparazzi who wanted our photos. (nah....) It's hard to fathom what a soul mate really is, especially when it's elusive to many. But ironically, on Online Dictionary the phrase "soul mate" yielded "friend", "pal", "playmate", "companion", "partner" and "chum". Thus, I shall continue to leave it to divine providence and maybe a little bit of creative romancing. Anyway, for the record, I did have a good time. And it got very hot and sweaty in the process last night!.......

You would be too if you ate steamboat for fathers day and that's what we did at dinner.

I still wake up everyday with hearts fluttering at the thought of beloved. I had to think HarD about the future before it's too late to add some 'zing' in the relationship. I guess to preserving love, is to simply make it fresh everyday. Simply put it as how I would hose water from my pipe to my ever beautiful Bald Virginia Desert Cactus. (some cactus are Bushy with ferns like hair) This is how all man should keep his cactus fresh.

Anyway here's what we did on our weekends:

• Friday - Dragon-i for dinner, Cafe Flam for holes (i meant wateringholes)
• Saturday - Kim Gary for lunch, The Sanctuary for boobz (hiccups, i meant booze as in beer)
• Sunday - Subang Parade for shopping, Dome cafe for nicotine, Steamboat for dinner,
  Movie Marathon at TGV (watched Fantastic 4 right after Shrek 3)

Into Every Life

Since I just got married, I'm trying to do things that keep me feeling young, of course, I am young; but there's something about being married that makes you feel just a little bit older. Oh well. Into every life...no I guess I don't have anything philosophical to say.

Everything went on very well for us from the day of retrieving the bride to the wedding dinner. I have received a lot of compliments on the presentation on the entire nights occasion. The video presentation was good, the DJ cum MC was good, the food, the music, the lightings, the settings, the services and lots more. From my standpoint of view it may not look as outstanding as I want it to be since I am the one planning everything since day 1 but I guess from my guests perspective it was pretty good! I'm just glad it was over, I can't go through another day thinking about what is it that I have not done and that 'butterfly in-the-stomach' feeling. So for the past 2 days I had lots of sleep and numb legs.

And Oh, I did not get drunk, phew. The thought of walking to 52 tables and yum sing was dreadful. I guess some were not easily fooled by the ice-cubes Chinese Tea that I was holding the entire night. Some inescapable tables meant one full glass of unsaturated whiskeys for me. I had to put on a drunken stage act if I were to stay alive. So the night ended with lots of smile, handshakes and compliments. I knew from then on it was a success. I owed thanks to many people and you know who you are.

I'm still waiting for the DVD and pictures taken on the night of our wedding. I will post an update on that.

Exceptional Day!

Well this time i strike lottery today, been waiting for this to happen to me. Last month I forgot to buy and it came out 2nd price, i posted it on Aaaarrrggh post. Better than nothing RM600 on 5186. Well newly weds are definitely Ong. Gonna buy bigger this time.

It has been an exceptionally different day today, lucky, i guess. First thing in the morning I went to the bank to do a loan for my company and the bank approved it. Later that afternoon Melon a friend asked me out for lunch and even gave me a business opportunity but the surprising thing was i couldn't even remember when was the last time we had lunch!

I drove back to office and within an hour or so another friend Dyrenforx calls me up for tea time, this dude has never call me up for drinks! Thanks for being my camera man on my marriage. Gosh I was taken by surprised at what went on today.

Thanks guys!

Vrrrroooom!

Hmm... which Ferrari should I take to drive to work today? Wooo hooo!, Woot Woot!, Here we go now..Here we go now! Put your hands up in the air! I collected all 6 Ferraris from Shell. Pump petrol gila babi, have to search whole of Selangor to do that cause not all Shells have all 6 cars, the toughest was the F1 car and my lovely wife found it for me, she's the MAN!!.

I'm such a FREAK!

A Story

Recently I have found out about things which I don't realized from this marriage of mine. Some things are happy and some are quite disappointing. I'm mainly talking about friendship here, friends whom I thought of least came true for me but friends who I had high hopes, disappoints me. As all of you know, 'Hing Tai' which in turn meant, good buddies, friends which I've known for years are the supporting arm for my marriage and I expect great deal from them. I was turned down by a friend which I consider the most understanding and supportive person. I expect him to be with me all the way and go down the history book together. In the end not only he will not be my 'Hing Tai', he won't even attend my wedding. Not because he couldn't make it but a reason that shocked the life out of me based on a miss guided understanding. There are things, not meant to be mentioned here but lets put it this way, here's how the story goes:-

I'm a sheep who lived with other sheeps for many years up and through a rocky mountain. And one day I had decided it's enough of climbing this tough rocky mountain and I told the other sheeps that I will be leaving for a better life. Hence I jump off this rocky moutain and after months of searching I finally found green pasture. But just when I was about to ask all of my sheeps on the rocky mountain to celebrate with me, I found out I was already been labeled a Black Sheep for eating in the green pasture even before I jumped off from the rocky mountain months ago. I do not know what gave the other sheep that idea but I was upset on the conclusion. So all the sheeps on the rocky mountain is framing me for eating the green pasture way before i told them I was to jump off. Like I've said the rocky mountain is a tough climb. So in short the sheeps that will not celebrate with me is the ones on the rocky mountain. All the other sheeps on the green pasture knew very well I'm a new comer.

It doesn't matter if you understand what i am posting here, i just felt that i need to get it of my chest.

The bond by blood is stronger than the bond by years of friendship.
