Gundam



Hi people.


I'm a great fan of lego and gundams, but here, I will be referring to the latter (especially the bb three kingdoms ones).

Here're some pics:






----> My favourite (Guan Yu - I treat the gundam like a deity)























Here's one set I would like to add to my current collection - Ma Chao, the great warrior


Lu Bu, the evil general This is one interesting set which includes many mini-figures





















My current collection includes - Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Kong Ming, Zhao Yun, Cao Cao, Si Ma Yi, Sun Quan, Lu Meng, Gan Ning and finally the evil Lu Bu.


Each set comes with the pieces, a few pages of comics attached to the instruction kit. It is very easy to assemble. It takes about 15 minutes (provided the environment is condusive).


Unfortunately, one has to buy his own paint if he wants the gundam to be fully coloured. The pieces given, when put together, is not fully coloured.


The box looks something like that:



I am trying to insert a video on the Bandai sangokuden storyline. I'm really seriously infatuated with gundams. Happy collecting, people!

NAPFA test

Hi people,

I believe that all of u have completed ur NAPFA test? (except Zi Ying. Poor lad. Lost his voice)

Here are my results.

Sit-ups - A 43 (Mr. Toh said that we should stop at A)
Sit & Reach - C 35cm (Most fortunately. I'm normally very poor at this)
Shuttle Run - B 10.7s(OK. Don't comment. I know that's very slow. I JUST DON"T KNOW HOW 2 STOP, BEND DOWN AND PICK UP THE "BATON" IN TIME! I'M ALWAYS SLIPPING OR HESITATING! SOMEONE PLEASE TEACH ME HOW!!!)
Chin-ups - A 26 (I was spamming pull-ups, but Mr. Toh didn't count quite a no. of them. I stopped at A.)
Standing Broad Jump - A 215cm (Something I am very very very very very very very very very proud of)

Fortunately, I don't have a C, and all that adds up to 22 points so far. Quite well done. Now for the 2.4km run. I really frankly lack confidence in this. I've never run 2.4 in my life. I was ill and on emcee for the trial run years ago (exaggerated). I would be extremely contented and blessed with a C. I would be immersed in fleeting bliss, etc. etc. description.

Sorry for all those who didn't do well in the Sit & Reach or at any other station. It's fine, as there's always a retest.The Sit & Reach is actually quite difficult. Your body gets stiffer as you grow older. This is especially the case for males. Tip: Do more yoga.

I'm really quite proud of my standing broad jump. I practised frequently in the classroom, starting with 5, 6 then finally 7 squares.There's a definite way to jump well for every person, and u have 2 learn it, either by watching others or experimenting.

Finally, best of luck for the 2.4. (though my right foot is injured. Cut right 2 the flesh/muscles)

Cheers,

Busy guy

Hi guys.

Thanks a lot for your perpetual (I'm not sure whether u're sincere) reminders to post for the ACE. Ha Ha. Zi Ying, that was exaggerated.

Anyway, I haven't visited my blog since the Ice Age. I even had trouble trying to post. Really busy these days.

I'm currently coping with third lang., council, AEP, NPCC(tests), academic studies, Grade 8 music examinations, chairman stuff, etc. It's really difficult. Grade 8 is really, really difficult. My Mozart piece is getting on quite well, but my other pieces are ...................................
My AEP teacher, Mr. Lee Sze Chin, is currently most fervently spamming us with AEP graphic design work. 4-5 pieces at any one lesson. Shocking.

As for council, we haven't really had anything just yet. We will start with a lot of ushering work, which I believe will be fun. There are ushering opportunities during the Student Leaders' Convention, Hwa Chong Open House, etc. We have to interact with all the visitors to ensure that they are kept occupied. Interestingly, Mr. Krison mentioned to the iCIT applicants that when people talk about the most well-groomed ushers, Hwa Chong seldom appears on the radar. (The successful schools are ACS i together with the letter before S and the letter before J)

German is ok to cope with. I am in empathy with the students learning Japanese. I understand the unrelenting spamming of tests and quizzes for the lang. That's not the case 4 German. We have 2 tests, which are sometimes replaced with projects, per term.

As for NPCC, it does not contribute to my stress. I especially look forward to Wednesdays, when we have recreation - basketball, soccer, etc. I was recently owned by another team in a friendly basketball match. (The other team had several players above 1.7m) What could we do? They were too tall!

That's for the schedule and workload (of course that's not all). I hope this effectively explains for my "non-blogging spree". This in a way also partially relieves the stress I am currently dealing with.
