Wow... Colgate simply white... simply works.... its my 2nd application and the result is amazing.... well maybe to me, it is... coz my teeth are pretty yellow to begin with.

Apply and wait for 15mins b4 rising it off... cant sallow, cant move my lips.... its just there to dehydrate and my mouth to go numb holding that position... Ar.... WOrth It
I read my blog from head to toe today... never will I miss the chance to mention abt someone... but I shall not continue... I should not...
WAhh... had a stupid dream... it started off with me looking into the mirror.... relecting.... then kinda lose concentration, and started to notice that i have lots of white hair than in real life... i started plucking & plucking... seems endless.... mum called me for dinner... i turn back to ans, and when i face the mirror again!! OMG..... my hairs all white, but not bad looking... Whahaha.... damn cool... and i woke up soon after.... HEhee... Must be that stupid epsiode of POT "the cursed racket" that made me dreamt of this.... eiji's hair was 'painted' white due to a falling bucket of white paint which was believed to be the work of the cursed racket... WAHahaa.... I cAN't Help Laughing At that instance... no wonder it made an apperance in my dream.... Retribution that happened in my dreams? Hehee...
After i woke up... wash up... had breakfast... I hit the sacks again... body still aching from bball, stairs climding and a 2.4 jog with sisters.... what's different abt the 2.4 jog and run is that my lungs gave up on me and not my legs.... and usually... for the run... my legs will give up first.... Wahh.. cannot loh... 26mins to jog 2.4k.. i'll be dead shit if i go NS liddat now... I woke up again 9+am... and ..zzZZ again.... cannot lah.. my arms, no my shoulder hurts... But... the aches wont go away if i sleep any longer, instead i think my back will go numb.. so i woke up... at last...

Frustrated
confused
silly
cool it
This Tag-board is crazy... Keep on hanging my blog while it loads... Been doing a lot of readings from http://www.howstuffworks.com/ about air compressor... Guess what?? I made myself a manual aircompressor for my airbrush... $300 of an electrical one? That's CRaZy!! I made mine with the a little more then $10... But of cause I need to move to get it to work... Interested in learning how to build one? HEhehee.. Ok.... I'll be doing some sketch soon... HEHee... http://www.howstuffworks.com/ is really a great site to visit if you wanna learn how things works. I even read on evolution and some robotic there...
Today 22nd, I did some major room cleaning... Well, I wanna leave the room as it is cause I'm just so damn lazy to pack. But my pump needle was missing and I just couldn't stand look for it in this messy room!!! OK~ so I took out all the rubbish... Lay all items from the table and on to the floor, that includes the TV & monitor... I shifted the table to a corner where I can stack all the stuff that we will be touching less. Holy CRap! *sneeze* there's so much dust behind that table... Dusted it off the wall... Swept it away and wiped the floor... And I set up a new Lay out for this Com and TV... Alright I'm still typing on the floor.. But now I've the bed as my aching... NO MORE back ACHES!!! Yeah... And all the cables are neater. Pack pack pack.. Stack stack stack... (^_^)V Ohya.. i've found my pump needle and complete constructing my manual compressor... Double YEah!!!
Now there's so much space to lay around, and it all thankx to me... But doing all the packing means... My sista's are going to come to me every time they can't find their stuff... sigh~
Slacked all morning online playing games… so I made my way down to P.S. to meet up with Samuel to show him some gundam modeling shops… He mentions he has lots of gundam models, but all were put together in a hurry… Hehee… I had those days before, wanting to see the completed product a.s.a.p. And usually, the end product looks “toy-like”. So the purpose of that trip was to load him with some tools… ranging from cutting tools to cover up items… anyone sharing the same interest? Ok.. I’ll name out all the tools & supplies he brought.
A crafting knife for $12+
A side-cutter $? (Tamiya’s side-cutter cost a crazy $44)
Sanding paper/film 400, 600, 3000 (fine to super fine [Forgot to get 1000]) $5
A tube of Tamiya basic putty (filler) (there a lot of different putty, but test with the basic first) $4
Seriously, I think getting the crafting knife & side-cutter from Bras Basah complex Art Friend would be much cheaper… I have a membership card… Hahaha… like anyone cares. Yupz… other then those, the supplies can only be found in hobby shops… those were just the stuff he needs to get his gundam together… Painting stuff? Go figure… I’m still researching, but I know I need a primer spray, clear coat spray (I like semi-glossy for finishing, for the end product would not look too fake) any of cause the acrylic paints & thinner. How to paint? You’ll need an airbrush together with an air compressor for that… and really they cost a fortune to own. Saw this basic kit air brush that uses a propellant can. Well it’s cheap, but the can needs to be replaced when the air pressure is low… I’m not too sure about the fineness of the airbrush’s tip. Should be aright for a not so frequent user to own right? Will ask the shop keeper the next time I visit. That’s about it… Anyway, I was forced to ask all the questions when I was only suppose to show him the place… oh well, I get to learn a thing or two. M-workshop at Sunshine plaza, though not a gundam modeling shop… the atmosphere there is much more cozy and OPEN then the tiny gundam shop at Peace Centre, a must visit!! HAha.. M-workshop hold air brushing & modeling lessons there even if you’re not doing war time models… tiny gundam shop has lots of ah bengs inside, but that’s not the point. You can get kits from there much much cheaper… but they sold out fast… so I can conclude, wanna buy kits go tiny gundam shop, wanna get tools & rent equipment, visit M-workshop.. HEhehee….
Met up with Yee Wen afterwards and sat in BK for a little chat. She’s in contacts!!! HEhee… don’t remember her le… she brought her sister along so I just made my demo on properly cutting, sanding down and finishing the gundam piece to Sam quickly… Wonder why Sam organize this small meeting in the first place… I feel like gooseberry… alright, chit chats over and I left them and head for home… what a relieve... LOlx…

8am sharp, Tara's sms woke me up... ahahaa... I haven been waking up at 8 for this whole week, but she did... it was a sms from her in a long while and it somehow shocked me to wake up... her msg: “your new door gate seems to be kinda narrow." I hopped out of bed, thinking she's outside my door... HAhahaa... silly me... still half awake I guess... she doesn’t have my address, further more, why would she show up at my place and that gate can been seen everywhere on this flat... it was surely an sms that got me all excited... adrenaline rush and I couldn't go back to sleep... I might as well start the day early by sorting out my files and folder in both coms... btw, she was helping her mum with groceries. So guai right? Such a girl, where to find?
Finally some time to spend with my MG FREEDOM... I carried on with the adding of LED into the head... its not in part of the kit, but I reckon it will look damn good after it has been completed... its my first time to use putty i bought from the tiny gundam shop... but my crash course was soon over... got used to using it pretty soon... and the sanding was an easy job... ok, there's a lot more pieces to cut and snapped together, further more I've to plan ahead on with part to not snap on first as I only paint certain part before they are not in reach... it's my 1st time putting together a MG kit... the internal frame look so nice... i scratch the piece here & there, but it nothing a little putty and sanding can't cover up... ohya.. I painted the 1/100 Kira Yamato figure that sits inside the cockpit of the completed MG FREEDOM with a fine paint brush & poster paint with no added water... I did it!! but I screened my eyes too much just to paint that tiny him.... altogether, enjoyable to see it come together day by day... but I steel need an air brush to really put it together, in not the putty would be so out standing... if not some spray painting would help too...
Did a few pieces of cast, then Tara’s sms came in asking if I could mms her neo prints to her, for sure I replied yes… anything for Tara tara tara tara tara.. okok… just kidding… I know its getting on your nerves repeating your name so much… Other then that… I spend the full day casting and waiting for the plaster to dry.
Yawnz… was suppose to meet up with Shawn 8 at Dover MRT station, but later we found out we were on the extreme ends of the same train and thus we met in the center cart. Wow... 2 red packets met… He did his design journal on the seat at Outram Part station, and moved on to working on the train ride to school as time is not on our side. Hooray! All handed in... When for briefing and it was back for Auto CAD class… Mr Yen walked towards me asking me to give him my mould, so I did. Next he told me to cast a few more and pass it to him on the first day of school. That can mean both good & bad. Good for I did a good design, bad because I need to get messy again… CAD class was so damn boring that I almost fell asleep, but was later awaken by Tara’s sms… ok… we’re even… I woke her up this morning, and now she woke me up in class… HEhee….
We(Bro5) took some silly shots before heading for lunch. I don’t believe what I saw in the gent… an old guy, probably a lecturer shaving… with shaving cream and all! Talk about utilizing school’s property. Ok… then it was a train ride to Marina Square to celebrate CHer’s Birthday… but too bad… the pool shop has been closed down… so Cineleisure we went… for pool and for movie… THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD… MY friends… please don’t watch this crap show… it’s not worth even $6.50 to watch such a lousy movie… not to mention that I paid $7.50 to watch it (someone paid of my $1, Hehhehee) well sure the “dead” were scary.. like maybe a few neon-seconds… You will get damn bored watch the same ugly guys in crap makeup walking around through out the whole move… storyline: thumbs down… Even Resident Evil is much much better… Dinner at Seoul garden was a mess… HAhahaa… try frying rice there… Shawn & Dan came up with a few new dishes there… and there were lots of smell of burnt eggs… anyway, I was being served like a king by Shawn & Dan when the main character of the day should be Cher. Wonder why? I’ve no idea… Arhhh… home sweet home after dinner…. When to look through Tara’s phone’s specs so that I can crop out the best you nai to send to her… hopes she’s happy with it… Here are the Crap Photos…………………
Mr Universe THE Cher Hao.. okok... Mr Teh..
cyclops, Nono.. Robot cop?? SUper MAN?? HAHahaa... wHo cares~

I can't resist the temptation of creating another nicer more slick looking cast with the materials i had left, thus I spent the whole morning making a new mould. Having leant a lesson not to use Styrofoam for the mould, this one is going to be 100% acrylic. Man, it was hard to make without a scroll saw, I had to use pen knife to cut everything. Lucky for me, I had experience cutting plywood with just a pen knife. Insane? Not really… I could have sworn I did it… ask Bro5 man. With the skills I acquired from lots of gundam modeling, the piece of acrylic came out nicely… Haha.. got to stop praising myself. By the end of all the cutting, I’m left with a really short blade. Did one cast with the remaining plaster of Paris I had but it failed, as it was too thin. What luck, I had Lao Da to help me get more plaster of Paris as I head on down to borrow Shawn’s camera. TIAN1 BU4 ZHOU4 MEI3! It started raining cats & dogs ½ way along my bus ride. Ok… so I alighted hoping to see a covered overhead bridge, to my disappointment, the bridge was ½ railed but not covered!!! WTH!! Lighting flashed & Thunders clashed as I speed across the bridge as fast as my slippery slippers can carry me. How can I be not afraid when I’m like way up there with nothing taller then me around??
So far so good… Met up with Shawn to collect his camera (in a paper bag!!!) Shawn, its RAinIng!!! Plastic bag please… HAhaha… Kidding… Should Thank you. The return trip was bad, really Bad. Part of my umbrella’s frame flipped over, and I had to dash to a small shelter to fix it. To make matters worse, the cap thingy at the top on the umbrella came lose or something, rain water water keep running down the stem that I’m holding onto… DARN! Can’t use same hand to hold the umbrella and the paper bag. I’m all drenched, yet I’ve to be holding the paper bag in an awkward manner to keep it dry… made it to the bus stop, boarded a bus… passed by Serangoon MRT station and an Idea came to my mind. I can make my way back home with out getting wet by just alighting at Potong Paseh MRT station and ride the MRT to home… HEhee… I’m covered all the way from the station to my block. Lucky~
I present to you, my brand new mould. Smooth and shiny ain't it? So white and so pure.
you win some, you lost some... I didn't strengthen the cast with enough wire meshing, and this was how it came out from the mould.
The second cast came out great!
~Test fitting~
IIIiiiiiiirreeeeka!!!
I've big plans for this baby... use this joints in a single loadbearing wall used for cantilevering staircase?? how does that sound??? This might be a new addition into the precasting industry!! It's MY IDEA!!! WAHhahaaa.... ok, can anyone tell me what to do if i want to copyright this design?
Yawn... 11+pm: just started documenting on this picece of plaster. Had a little time to sent out an mms of You Nai that Tara drew to her, just to cheer her up a little for her As and also the condition of our friend... and accidentally I woke her up, sorry.. didnt meant to wake you up 4+ in the morning...
SHawn!! why do you have so many photos for me to print?? You know how 'fast' my printer works right? haizz... time to sleep... need to wake up early to pass shawn his photos.
9:30am.. back at north point… waiting 4 a bus to Lester’s grandma’s place… aaahhh.. Singapore, love the traffic here. Here we are, back where we left off. HEhe.. time to cast our plaster of paris. Here’s the photos that says everything… For those who don’t know what we’re doing… we are designing a piece of pre-cast or pre-made concrete wall at a smaller scale. I went one step further in taking the joint design into consideration.
What really happens on site, I was there... Should I remind you I'm at the 14-16 storey with no walls around.
What we have standing here is a shear/load-bearing wall... The name spells it all... it bears load/weight, think of it as a column. Not the prettiest piece of concret, but as long as it serves it's purpose... the residents moving in would be happy. =p
Here is the mould for casting a real lifesize wall. Pretty NeaT huh?
See the resemblance??
PERFECTO~! ok, its not what I expected... looks kind of rough on the edge. But it came out alright.
What's left... HAhaha... love that square piece that has "BRO5" engraved on it.
First of all the coach ride... I knew it was going to be a full day’s ride so I kept myself busy the whole early morning making a mould for one of my course module. So I board the bus and before I could fit into the seat comfortably, the man taking the seat in front of me lean back on his seat. A 17 seat bus, but still my legs were too long and were fitted 'nicely' in between the seat gaps. In fact it was perfectly fitted; I have no space to move. At least I was too tired to bother, waking up at each roadside toilet stop. Not much of a good nights rest, but at least I manage to sleep up to 4-5 hours. And about the starry skies??? The road lamps killed it, however in the first place, there were just too much clouds in the sky to see anything. At the last toilet stop before crossing Penang Bridge, a banged up Coach tow next to us. The front of that coach was totally destroyed... wonder what happened to the drivers, not a good sight to see when you're in a coach yourself..
Across the bridge and there I was, 1st day on Penang soil 7:07am. From breakfast till dinner, I had MEe (noodles) all the way, starting off with wan ton mee, followed by clay pot mee for lunch and Lor mee for dinner. I didn’t do much shopping. Instead my Sisters were the ones looking around buying stuff as they were leaving the following evening. After shopping, it was off to viewing a penthouse that my uncles might be moving into, not a bad apartment, but I question the cross ventilation, there were a patch of yellow stains on the ceilings too, could it be a roof leak that can't be fixed??? Arrrhhhh.... dun care...
After the house viewing... we set off for the feet of Penang Hill in my cousin's car More on her driving skills later. Got our tickets for a ride in a railway cable car thingy up the 'Hill'. We tried to board the cart but it was packed like sardines, thus we waited for the next ride. Lao asked how long will we have to wait for the next ride, the crew there answered 7. So my sister replied 7mins to double check, but what the guy meant was 7pm, which is like 30mins from when she asked. 7mins, maybe for MRT bah, but for that 45 degree slop going cart, that will be some kind of rollercoaster ride, won't it? Hehee. The hill was high enough to make my ears go pop (need to check on the altitude again) and it was absolutely foggy, cold and dark up there. The city lights looks damn cool from up there, we took a few shot and hopefully it will turn out ok.... photos will be up as soon as I receive it from my cousin. Walked around the hill and we headed back down to the foot of the hill and..zzZZ back to cousin's place...zzZZZZZ...
DAY 2.... Went to my little uncle's place and had breakfast at the KopiTiam just downstairs across a few not traffic light what so ever roads. It was dangerous, 4lane 2 way road with no traffic light that has parallel parking along the road??!?! WTH!!!! How to cross when you can't see passing traffic from behind those parked cars??? I order chicken rice for breakfast...
Breakfast done, we set off to 'ji le shi' a Buddhist temple up on the hills... we spent around 15-30mins climbing up the stairs... there was this turtle pond, MAN was it filled with turtles!!! Hundreds if I’m not mistaken, ranging from tiny ones to tremendously large ones. Lao Da bought some “gan gonk” for us to feed the turtles.. Cool~ going up and up we came to the temple’s hall. Words will not do justice to how HUGE it was. Alright, we looked around and headed back down for lunch. Cousin took us to this Char Sew rice store that was in the middle of a living estate.. okok, not surprising… you get that every over in Malaysia… and more shopping, I got my self a long sleeve red shit… I love it I love it I lOVE!! RED!!! NICE… HAhaha… Soon, it time to day Tata to my sisters… OH NO… I’m All ALonE~ HAhahha Crap…. Back to uncle’s place and took a nap till dinner time coz I was so damn bored. Horror awaits me as I woke up, my cousine’s kids… Yes kidS, two… two times the horror!!!! Nothing much happened during dinner time, but as soon as they got back to my uncle’s place and their parents are just ignoring them… u_u …. They got to know me a little and started hopping and hugging me… my legs if I was stand up.. Pounce onto me if I was sited down.. no kidding…. WILD KIDS!!! HELP!!! HAhahhaa…. Couldn’t stand them any long… I tried to entertain them… some simple magic tricks to do with coins... HAhhaa…. Their expression so damn Cute! They were astonished, amazed and entertained.
…zzzZZZ
DAY 3….. Couldn’t remember what I had for breakfast, but I recall I had it in the city area. Had lunch out too, and some shopping, and its back to more eating…. Boy, am I going to weight like 70+ kg after this trip… arriving and the door step on my uncles place… the terror sounded… they’re here for me again… Worse!! Show me their panties & underwear (one girl and one boy)… FREAK! I grab hold and shut their legs up tight… what is it about kids? The more you don’t want them to do a certain thing, the more they will attempt it… Dinner at Kopi shop downstairs…. Brup.. What more can I sad???
…zzzZZZ
DAY 4… Ohya, I can see the sea from the room I’m sleeping in… can see sunrise some more…. Nice Nice… doubly nice… THE KIDS are BACK!!! Why?? Why? Why did my sister left me with them? Why…. They tackle me till I was on the floor… then they used my legs as slide… Hmm… Hairy slide.. Wonder why they liked it that much… but it was painful for me!!!! This isn’t the kind of hair removal solution I had in mind… HAhaa… okok… my mum wanna go down to the pet shop to get 2 birds to set free.. Must be some thing to do with a save trip back to Singapore. I’m not really sure… anyway… I went along… Yes, I go, “they” went… what? They want me to hold their hands?? Why? wHat the!! whY not Mummy??? Okok… part time baby sitter in action!! Held their hands as we crossed the roads & streets… really need to hold their hands tight man, they were merely walking… I had to look out for traffic and pull them back if they were walk way in front of me. Kids & pets = I’m free!! HHAhaaa.. I was sausage puppies!! KaWAiI ! Hahhaa…. And mIni pooch… so KE AI leh…. Put your hand on the cage and their lick.. ticklish!! HAhhaa…. I want them!!! okok… next time, I will own a rear a doggy.. they were much cuter then lester’s summer.. HAhaha… alright wash hands… and back to uncle’s place with hands locked. Their mum bought them ice cream on the way back… they were messy eaters with one hand… right, coz I was holding their other hand… Yawnz~ nap abit more before lunch… OMG.. why haven they leave?? Have to bring them down stairs like daddy again… I went back up right after lunch and slept, partly to escape from them and also because I was so damn bored… ok… work up just in time for a shower and set off of the airport. Mum was separated from me and dad coz there no way to squeeze in a car with all our luggage. So mum was driven by my uncle, Dad and I in cousin’s car…. Wow, traffic jam sia… what the hell? They did road works in the day??? Adding on to that was a stupid truck that broke down in the center of the road… took us 40+ mins to get out of it…. Hmmm….. upon reaching the airport.. Cousin got a phone call from uncle… WAHahhaa… car battery went dead!!... Mum’s stuck there with our pastport!! HEhee… funny thing was… soon after the call was made… mum arrived… my Uncle stopped a car and persuade the driver to dive mum here to us.. Wahahhaa…. Mum was like in shock…. Can’t really blame her for looking like that. Getting on to a unknown car and racing against time to reach us before our flight leaves.
Evening flight… but all I see were dark rain clouds… siahz…
TIME TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON AND GO~~!!!!
STAY TUNE
