Hunting mode on!

I don't know whether people know this or not, but I am an avid reader of the Star Wars novels. Though I have been reading for a heck of a long time , I still have yet to memorise the different eras. Especially before the series started (Since I have yet to get a hold onto the comics)

What did get me into the series (and the movies!) was the trilogy: Jedi Academy Trilogy written by Kevin J. Anderson. The way he wrote allowed me, a newbie in the series, understand and visualize the Star Wars world of being just huge spaceships fighting each other. It made me know the characters to a greater depth.

Not so recently, I picked up a new saga of Mr. Anderson's titled "The Saga of Seven Suns". Started when I picked up the book in the library and ever since the first book, I kept reading and reading about the adventures of the different personas in the books and the fundamental wars of the elementals.

Just 2 hours before, I finished the 6th book "Metal Swarm" and I want "The Ashes of Worlds" now dangit! Dx

Sad though, my favourite character died. Why does my characters always die!?! Dx

Tomorrow I'll be going back to the plant to start the 4th week of my internship here in Fujairah. 4 weeks! Bloody Hell! So fast 3 weeks have passed!

In other news, Me and my father went to Deira City center yesterday in Dubai. We had a mini-movie marathon. Okay it was only 2 movies back to back but still it was damn worth it. First lemme just mention that the movie ticket costs 30dhs each, which is about S$15! @_@

First we watched Valkyrie, starring Tom Cruise. Since I was with my father, we watched a military movie first. It was about WW2 and an attempt by some German soldiers to assassinate Hitler to achieve "Their Germany" using Operation Valkyrie. German history isn't my strong point but I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and the direction of the movie.

Then we headed to another movie theater with the same ticket (not that they mind... much). We watched Revolutionary Road. This one had DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Its a very disturbing and depressing show to watch. Kinda like a shot to my heart a bit. All I can say about it is that Frank should have stayed home and not go to work that day. Sigh...

So far, my internship is teaching me that adulthood doesn't mean that maturity of thought comes along with it. =_=

On this depressing note, See you guys some time or another!

Caution! Chemist in the Kitchen!

I've got myself a facebook! No thanks to Chin bugging me! Dx But its fun! XD Those of you who know me can add me! Provided I know you first! =p

Now I'm eating my dinner! Something I just thought of on the fly. Microwave the potato, mash it, add a bit of butter, salt and black pepper (somehow my father doesn't have white pepper!) and 3 cream cheese of the smiling cow! Not bad. When I added in the Duck Delice and rolled it into a ball, it tasted delicious! Okay okay.. needed more salt. But the cheese compensated for it.

Looks good!


And 3 days of rain so far in Fujairah. Desert rains come most unexpectantly! I took some pics from my block of ust before the rains.

A very belated...

Happy New year! Its 2009 now and already into the 2nd week. Things come, things go. *Add in sentimental crap here*

Been busy the past few days. Now I'm in Fujairah having my internship training. And I'll be here till June.

So far, the work style here is so slack. I'll miss it when I get back! I've made friends with my colleagues, Fatima, Badreeya, Maha and some others. The locals are not so bad, I have to get past the cultural barrier which can be difficult at times. Not to mention I have to learn Arabic! Dx

My first week has passed. I start on Sundays and my week ends on Thursdays. So don't come calling on Sundays!

That reminds me, I've got a report to do. Tml meeting with my supervisor!

Tony Roma's...

...was delicious! Except for the Buffalo Wings. The vinegar and garlic taste was too sharp making it just not nice. Really. That's what I love about being in the UAE. I get to eat things which are not halal in most of the other parts of the world. 8D

So, in a few hours I'll be flying off back to Singapore. Flight's gonna be at 10am, so gotta be at the airport by 7am, meaning i gotta wake up in 3 hours time. =_= Will reach Sg at 2125. So if anybody is thinking of fetching us, you can just come by! XD

Hopefully I've packed correctly.

Gah! I forgot to buy the sweets! Dx

EOY EOY EOY

Rawr for EOY! Things I've learnt while making the Cao Ren costume:
1) Using craft foam as platemail is just asking for it as its not heavy enough just to weigh it down.
2) Wire mesh works wonders and you can go bbq later! 8D
3) Ugh... I need a better medium to work with... T_T

Things to do: REDO COSTUME to make it more EPIC!

I NEED TO DO MY WEAPON!!!

Saturday, 6 December 2008

Its 3:06 am...

Experts and teachers say that when working with metal, you should wear safety glasses, have proper equipment, practice proper safety.

Hell. I'm glad I wear glasses... and that resourcefulness and sheer grit can get you anywhere.

Might post up pics later.

Of White sticky liquids...

Talking about white glue that is! ^^ Currently doing my DW6 Cao Ren costume. Honestly, I don't really know HOW to make the armour parts. I just make it up as I go along. Plans never really did work for me. ^^U

I just bought the chicken wire (Everyone avoided me as I walked through the market). A nice woman helped me pick out the scissors/shears to cut it. Now then... How can I not make it poke me too much.. Hrmz...

I hate the hardworking a-hole I am right now...

Heh Heh... This morning I just finished my first and only paper for the semester, Civil Engineering Management. Not bad. Most of the questions are from the tutorials and the past year papers, so it wasn't that bad. But still, I hope to get at least an A (aiming high here) XD

So, I treated myself to a beef bento at the Quad. It was delish! Then me being me, needed to do my AFA job. =_=;;; I bought the envelopes (A4 and A3) sigh... Just now I exhausted my yellow ink with the printing for the lil rabbit. Not bad la. Cutting... Getting like 9 pieces per page. I cut them individually an now I'm sticking on the pieces onto the envelopes.

I hate myself sometimes, but I love this aspect of me who just needs things to be done quickly.

Argh... and tml I'll be doing my Yoshimoto baldpatch. @_@ Another trip to Artfriends for the liquid latex. oh my wallet...
