Chinese New Year!!!

This year is quite not my time of Chinese New Year, which I wonder how will it happened again if I'm going to face this kind of problem again next year...

Both Tommy and I were not able to check-in to our scheduled flight due to the problem with the long queue. We were there at the airport 1 hour before departure (normally domestic fligh stated that we should be 45 minutes before departure should be there, so we actually have quite some time to check-in), but when it's our turn they don't allow us to check in because it has already closed. I got so frustrated that I slammed on the table, which I really blaming them for not doing their work. Without any other thought, I kept on claiming how they should do their work!!! And I know that it's worthless to talk to them for they will not listen anyway... Well, they are just working, and it's my fault as well for getting so frustrated and allow my anger to release... How I don't like this airline company is because that they don't have really good contact with their customer, compare to the other one where if they knew there's going to be a long queue, they will actually have people to come out to arrange for another special counter in order to faster the check-in process.

Anyway, my fiancee is there to help me to settle the ticket issue with the airline company. We were able to upgrade to business class, which we have to stay overnight at Kota Kinabalu. We were able to reach back home around 9.00 am the next day just in time for the visiting during Chinese New Year. My relatives keep on making fun out of us, for missing the flight :((...

But I felt bad this time for releasing my anger at people... I don't feel really good about it, which I... Have no any excuses for it. Also, I sensed that there is no peace in this house, which I wonder why... And I'm not able to get through my itchie itchie mind again, which added to another of not peace... It's the fault of myself, not anybody else.

Well, give thanks during bad time and good time. Just give thanks.

Target lock... Hopefully...

In this year, I just hope to see that things that I wished can come to pass... I just hope to overcome my itchy mind and itchy eyes, able to save money to get a house this year, able to play a guitar so that I could help out with cell group's worship session, and also to speak and understand the foreign language that I'm learning.

Things have become tougher, for life is not as easy and it's never being easy. There shall be unknown factor that will raise up all of a sudden to interrupt the things that we are doing, or to destroy someone life just in a flash of the eye. But what is important now, is to overcome such situation with a heart that stand strong against the storm.

We are just human being on earth that could do right and wrong since the day that the forbidden fruit has been eaten. We are here until now is not by who we are, but it's by the grace of the mighty one. We can do wrong things, but the mighty one is giving us time to correct our way before He come to conclude everything. Though many do not believe in Him, but for those who believed, we must set as an example to other in living out His glory.

I read the book that authorized by Him, and it's very profound that we should not deal with situation around us with our own understanding, brute force, or the way of the world; instead, we should deal with wisdom. The reason I mentioned this, is because some of us who believed in the mighty one, confronted the world without any understanding and doing it in such a way that normal people do, like demonstration. That's not wisdom, that's not how the characters in that book deal with the world. It doesn't help to solve problem but to help create an image that we are self-proclaimed self-righteous hypocrite.

I myself is not exception that I'm a human that could do wrong things. No one could say that he is righteous, because we are all fall short in His glory. I have my own weaknesses, that I know it's wrong, which I'm struggling and overcoming it until now. Sometime I'll fail in the struggle and give way to my wrong doing, and will feel guilty. And I'm grateful for each day, that I've another day to live to correct my wrong doing. It will haunt me forever and I'll have to struggle with it forever, but I'm grateful and thankful that He is there, because He is victorious, and His grace is sufficient for me over the struggle.

Amen

Strike Freedom (1/100)

Here's another Gundam from the Seed universe. The Strike Freedom and Destiny that I have are both limited first round edition, which come with a stand and a changeble bottom part for some posing. Same with Destiny, I've painted my Strike Freedom with a different colour scheme with the colour that I have.

Double Beam Saber


Strike Freedom's beam saber is not able to combine together, but its beam rifles are able to combine together, which is very distinguished and unique. It shows that Strike Freedom is more on fire power, therefore the double beam rifle is to represent its strength in that area; whereas Infinite Justice double beam saber is able to combine together, which represent that Infinite Justice is more powerful in terms of close combat.

Destiny (1/100)

I've finally have time to take some pictures of my Destiny 1/100. The colour scheme has changed a bit compare to the original colour scheme. The paint that I'm using are mostly metallic colour. Due to budget constraint, I'm painting this gunpla with the colour that I have.

Fix Figuration - Deep Striker Ken Zan!!!

This is a deep striker Super Gundam, a variation of S Gundam. I took this picture when I was at my friend's house, helping him to fix this figuration up. It is a 1/144 scale model kit.

PG GAT-X105 Strike Gundam Picture

I've finally have a chance to upload pictures of my PG Strike Gundam. These pictures are taken with Panasonic Lumix DMC-F8. The effect of the pictures are good, even though it may not look as clear as the digital SLR, but I'm satisified with it. I'm not the type that will spend like the whole day taking photo of every corner of this model kit, so I'll not spend too much time in detail of the photography.

Now, 1/100, 1/144 and 1/60 are actually scaling for the model kit. It shows the size or how tall the model kit is compare to the real things/real measurement (there won't be real Gundam unless they did make it behind their backyard). The scale is always measured with the height of the Gundam, which can be found on the manual or box. i.e. if the height of a Gundam is 18.00 Meter height, then the model kit height shall be 12.5 cm in 1/144 scale, 18.00 cm in 1/100 scale, and 30.00 cm in 1/60 scale.

The PG Strike below is in 1/60 scale.
