Year of the Tiger

Its the Year of the Tiger. Happy Prosperous New Year to everyone out there. May your career and love life roar as loud as the tiger!!!

Ok.. This Chinese New Year will really be a time for me to relax abit as I took leave for the next three days after the 2nd day of CNY. So basically I am on leave all the way for one whole week.

Friday went down to St James Power Station to chill with some of my colleagues. First time I am there... Quite a nice place to chill actually. The ambiance was quite cosy and I like the place where we chose to sit... The swing area.. haha.. Basically I was swinging and rocking all the way from the start till the end... spilling a cup of Tiger beer onto the floor and making my colleague complain about dizziness... haha... But its fun. Really nice place to chill and talk cock about work and poking fun at others.. so damn funny... Well, tat day at St James.. managed to catch sight of a white Lamborghini LP560-4 driving past me as we waited to cross over at the traffic junction to St James...It was speeding its way into Sentosa... Nice sia... Looks like that driver is a resident in Sentosa Cove..

Come Saturday...Its was CNY's eve... Time to have reunion dinner with family... We had steam boat.... but although there was a spread on the table... i did not really enjoyed the dinner... only ate abit here and there.. Well.. I was not very happy with my father as I just had war with him a couple of days earlier... Me and him.. we will never click... He is always finding fault with me and I am always not respecting him... yup.. no point.. Even my mother knows this... Its quite hard to stay with someone that always wanna find fault with you.. So basically.. WE DUN TALK TO EACH OTHER... Thats why I did not enjoy this year's reunion dinner... Until the day he knows how to define peace and tame his bloody mouth that is always ranting words to hurt ppl's feelings..... I see no way of patching up.. The cold war will just go on for all I care..

Well, for my new year.. really nth much.. just another long weekend holidays for me... I had started the construction of the Russian Carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov".. I am quite disappointed with the quality of the mold actually... had a very very hard time trying to assemble the 700 plus pieces together... Buy the time I am writing this blog.. i am only about half done with the assembly.. Initially I almost wanted to give up on this model... Most parts dun fit snugly leaving so many gaps here and there...There was so much difficulty in attaching the flight deck to the hull and the entire process was simply atrociously time consuming... I had to basically use masking tape to tap to parts together just to hold them in place for the glue to set... The construction of the bridge was terrible also.. so many small parts... I must say this is the hardest model i ever assemble to date...

Well at least my ytd nite.. I managed to got the flight deck and the hull fully up... Now I am already doing up the bridge... This part will be very time consuming.. But I must say.. Trumpeter molding details for the model very precise... thats why so many small parts even though some of the parts to fit in nicely.. sigh..
Anyway.. I also just learnt that building ships are the most difficult compared to building planes and tanks or what have you... The parts will easily come in hundreds of pieces... Admiral Kuznetsov itself is already 700 pieces altogether... wow...anyway its enjoyable... Imagine from those few hundred pieces into one big ship...Thats the satisfaction i get when i see all the small parts become one big model....

Here are some of the pics..






And this is the bridge... still alot alot of small parts not up yet.. At this stage as you can see in the picture... its only about 30% completed.. the small pieces are the killer..



Ok.. tats that for today... need to continue with the bridge construction...

Tonight 1130pm got the movie... 100 pound beauty.. korean movie.. very funny.. i will be watching it... Maria... ave Maria!!!

Ciao..
