big boys toys part3 : voltron

voltron : defender of the universe

5 lions that join to become 1 super robot.

need i say more?'

the new nicktoons version of the lions look so much better as well

much more edgier and ferocious looking

voltron looks more well built and "lean" rather than 'clunky' in the old version

this is yet to be released though.

if it costs too much i'll just admire from a far..

:-)

big boys toys part2 : robotech cyclone

#2 is actually from another old cartoon, robotech.

from the 3rd in the series, mospeada.

a motorbike that joins with the rider to form a "mech battle armor suit"

its in my list solely because the bike and rider looks so cool.

there is also a veritech fighter jet that transforms into a robot, but that's like transformers.

i hv never seen this before in the country.

by the way, the top of the line ones are pretty pricey... seriously....  jeez....

USD400......

i guess thats why its called "masterpiece"

big boys toys part1 : rodimus

ever since i saw "transformers the animated movie" in the1980s, i've always wanted this.

transformers G1 hotrod/rodimus.

a hot rod that transforms into a robot.

how cool is that?

anyway, luckily i waited , this model looks much better looking than the original ones made in the 80s or 90s.

much sleeker and true to the movie.

the boys hv already seen it but have not really asked for this yet but i've demo the transformation to them once already.

sooner or later it'll end up with them..

later then...

reclaiming my childhood or just big boys toys?

ever since i was a child there were a few things that i wanted to hv.

toys were expensive those days and also you really couldnt get things in toys stores..

also, i dont think my dad would hv spent $100 on a toy when expenses were tight.

i played with a passed down set legos a lot.

there's whole bunch of stuff on my list but i've narrowed it down to 3 that i think are pretty cool.

all are based on "cool factor"

some i only found on ebay as i've never seen them in toy stores here before.

but firstly, let me re-reiterate that i'm a simple man... i don't buy stuff that cost more than $100 of my local currency.

would you buy a USD250 piece of plastic that would just collect dust or let your kid manhandle and eventually break?

i think not..!!!

i buy the USD25 one that is on sale :-) and safeguard it in my study room.

the angry bird plushie lasted less than 48 hours before the sound box got damaged.

also, i already bought lots of legos, transformers and dragons for the kids so their childhood shud be safe. 

if they complain, i'll show them the pictures...

anyway, the next 3 post will reveal my top3 them.

4d

after nearly 6days isolated in hospital and at home and with no wheels..

we already predicted da would want to go here and try this luck.

true enough, pitstop here before lunch.

destiny before food... ??!!??

Sama-sama

After the patience testing hospital and police station... we went to search for our lunch.

Lunch with dad is easy .
He eats exactly the same thing as me.
Wan tan mee.

He belanja me somemore.. 

Social animal

My dad and mum hv the same traits..
They are not islands.

They have a need to talk to people.
Dad is talking to everyone near him and I already found out one old uncle 2 beds away " kena sembelih "

Me? I just shut down and retreat into my shell.

If I'm in pain and in a strange place, please don't bug me.
:-p

Magnets

We need to expand our magnet wall really soon .
Getting a bit crowded.

Early for me too

Cool punisher tee..

Early x

Xmas comes early this year courtesy of the boys godma. Dragons and birds...

Ride of terror

I have not ridden a motorbike in many many years.

Today I had to ride dads bike to the repair shop after his accident.

2 words: freaking scary.

While riding, 3 words: I'm gonna die..
And it was a less than 1km journey,   but it was thru a jammed packed area at lunch time.

I'm not built for riding bikes anymore.

Truly bloody day...

I'm not made to deal with blood.
Too much blood today, especially in the Er.
Getting light headed.
Headache.
Not good.

Waiting game

The general hospital treats fast but now we hv to wait our turn for a operation slot.
Dad was in around 1pm. The operation "could" be around midnight tonight.
I hope.
Sigh...
Wait.

Force is a bitch

" f =ma " is a bitch when you're on the receiving end of an accident.

Dad's bike got knocked in the back and he fell off his bike he landed on his left hand.
Left ring and middle finger broken.
Nothing hit his hand.. just the force of the impact of his fingers on the tar road.

It looked real gross when he was wriggling it around for us.
I had to excuse myself . I don't do so well with blood.
