Completed!

So I was talking about reviving an old hobby in my previous post...and that I will assemble the model car after my finals...Well I did...although not exactly the best around but I feel good by just completing it =D...

I started working on it on the day my finals ended...just like I said I would...So I took out the whole box of stuff and sat down in front of me computer after dinner...Just for the music though =P...and started assembling the car...what has surprised me though...is that I sat there for 5 hours assembling it and didn't even move...Obviously I freaking love assembling it...just like I used to...

So after 5 hours of squinting my eyes for the smallest possible parts needed for assembling I finally completed it...Started from 8:30 pm and went all the way till 1:30 am...Aside from my aching back from sitting on the floor for 5 hours straight...I felt a great sense of accomplishment...a kind that I haven't felt in a very long time...

And so here it is...the completed car

And finally, the rear



This is indeed my dream car the FC3S RX-7...It looks like a piece of old junk but to me it looks like subtle styling...and has the word "skill" written all over the car...Cuz the people who knows how to drive this car properly has done wonders in it...Fine example is legendary Japanese race cars driver Keiichi Tsuchiya...

Well now that this one is done...I probably should start saving for the next one...My next model would probably be a fighter jet since I actually found one...I don't really have an exact choice yet but chances are it'll be one of these 3 4th generation fighter jets...the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon...

That's all folks

Reviving an old hobby

Not a lot of people know that I used to have this hobby...I like to fix things...as in putting things together...heck even when I'm still wee young I love to take my toys apart only to put them back again...which in some cases resulted in a broken toy lol...

Well going into my teens...that interest of putting things together has got me into fixing plastic models of jet fighters...those days would be probably the times where I actually have something better to do other than sitting around in my place and doing nothing in particular...I've collected like RM300-400 worth of resin model kits...although not a number to brag about but in those days I only had RM25 per week for allowance...and every one of those fighter jest that I love so much were assembled on my own without help...and I'm pretty happy about it...until my mom decided it's all trash that does nothing but collects dust and threw it all in a bag regardless of how fragile those models are...thus resulting most of my models heavily damaged...some beyond repair...some that are repaired just doesn't look as good anymore...and after a few weeks of trying to restore every one of them I gave up...and subsequently I went on without a hobby in my teens...

Since then my interest of putting things together mainly went to clearing the clogs in my parent's toilet basin...pathetic no? Now thanks to ZH, I've realized my interest is still there...hungry to put something together and make it look nice...ZH was planning to start what I did as a hobby...so he asked me for advice...and I told him everything I knew about resin models...although there's not a whole lot that I know...I can feel the excitement inside me...then I thought to myself...what the hell...I'm perfectly capable of paying for those models now...and mom certainly won't lay a finger on my things before asking me...so why not start from square one?

You people have no idea how much I liked the sound of that idea...and so with the help of Max...me & ZH went looking for resin model kits...unfortunately...those things that were so popular and easily found in the 90's and early 00's were now considered outdated...the Tamiya shop in KLCC that used to sell al sorts of fighter jet models that I love has now been reduced to a shelf in Isetan...and other shops all over town has resort to selling gundams and whatever else it is...couldn't say I blame them though...

So I went to my last resort...although there's still one place we haven't looked yet...which is the last shop that sells model kits known to us...chances are it's not selling any...but anyhow...i resorted to buying a car model kit...not exactly what I have in mind but it'll do...but no I'm not disappointed that I bought that boxload of plastic that is worth RM 130 after discount...after all that model is of my dream car...the Infini RX-7 GT-X (FC3S)...it's the second generation RX-7 in short...and what's better? It's modeled after a character's car from Initial D...and coincidentally...it is that character's car that got me interested in the FC in the 1st place...so all in all I think i got myself a good enough bargain...But I will not start assembling it just yet...

Why?

I'll save the fun till Friday night...when I have finished my finals...=D

That's all folks

April's Fool

So...It's April's Fool...Billions around the world would be pranked and most probably laugh their head off without receiving any damages to their pride or whatever...That includes me! In fact...I got the best April's Fool joke EVER!

Here it is...

nothing happened

._.

I think my situation already speaks for itself...It's either my friends don't really give a damn about April's Fool or they just forgot about me lol...though I do prefer to think it's the former XD
