Cinema - Tawau

Wow, I can't believe that a cinema is finally open in Tawau, Sabah! My home town. After the last cinema closed down in 2000 when I came over to Kuala Lumpur to study, Tawau has been without a cinema for 5 years. The reason for the cinema to close down is because of the threat from pirated VCD plus the cost to sustain the purchase of film (I guess), which cannot be sustained even though there's business everyday. Last time Tawau used to have like 5 cinemas, and none of it survives until now; it is either turned into a church building or a supermarket.

This new Cinema (called Cineplex) has 2 screens, which only one is opened (the other one is in renovation). It is not a very comfort cinema because the seats are put on a flat ground, unlike conventional cinema that the seats are arranged on step. It makes very hard for short people to watch movie when the person sitting in front is tall.

Ticket is sold at RM 8.00, and only one movie will be screened for all timeslot everyday. It might have changed next year when I go back to Tawau for Chinese New Year celebration :) I don't have any photo of the cinema yet, will try to get one next year (so long!!!)

Fender Stratacoustic - My First Acoustic Guitar!

I made up my mind to get a guitar so that I could help out with the worship in cell group as well as for future preparation. Fender Stratacoustic - a semi acoustic guitar according to Tommy, is a nice guitar not only because of its design, but also the sound that it produced. Indeed, it may not be as good as some acoustic guitar such as Taylor, but I do appreciate it overall, and most of all - it suites me! Right now I'm trying to make time constantly to practice with it, for I never play guitar before and never take up any guitar lessons as well (financial reason). Tommy used to play guitar (can be considered as pro as he can play guitar very well) so I asked him to teach me some skill. Can't wait to play it for my cell group worship within sometime this year!

My Gunpla collection !!!

Here's a few photoes of my Gunpla collection, which I took it recently. I have never have a chance to put up all my Gunpla together, therefore I would like to take this opportunity to take the photoes before I don't have the access to the digital camera.



MG Wing Zero Custom 1/100

This is my MG Wing Zero Custom, which I have purchased sometime ago. Compare to my previous HG Wing Zero, the detailing and structure of the model is very nice. Plus, in comparison with PG Wing Zero, I personally prefered the Wing of the MG version to the PG version because of the skeleton at the wing portion of the PG version, which I don't really like. If they are able to come out with another PG Wing Zero Custom that is similar to the MG version, that would be nice. Here's some photo that I took.
