Well, I got this as a birthday gift from Sean and Cherie last Tuesday, and it was a new model from a new series, Gundam 00. Seems like Ban Dai has improved the details of its 1/100 scale models,adding new features and materials to the models. This sure was one of the toughest models I have come across.

Details:

Model Details:
1/100 Scale Model

New Chapters

Well,this post is for Tuesday,25 March.

Sean,Cherie,Thaddd,Vera,Fiona,Lim,Priscilla,Wei Wen and I met up at City Hall Mrt Station, before walking over to Marina Square for dinner.Before that, Thadd,Sean and Cherie gave Priscilla and I a nice surprise.Gifts for our birthdays(least expected that)! Thanks you guys!Well, it was quite a long walk, but soon we settled for dinner at Swensen's.Ordered lots of dishes, and Lim gave us yet another good surprise.How could a double birthday celebration do without a cake?

Then on the way back home at around 9pm,we discovered 4 new chapters in the lives of 4 friends who were ahead of us.Well, seems like a great start for them ya?So, that should mark 6 new chapters in the month of March, with many more new challenges ahead waiting to be overcomed.

Well then, since there's nothing much to say,I'll just compose another poem:

The tide was coming in,
But the moon never showed its light.
Where was the moonlight,
The light that has always guided our ship?

The Desert heat was closing in,
But the Sun kept showing its fury.
Where was the calmness in its glory,
The warmth that has always reassured us of our destination?

The darkness was setting in,
But the lamp's flame showed its determination.
Where was our trust in its resolution,
The perserverence that always seen us through time?

Back to MI, and off to another outing

Two days ago, I was all dressed up just to head back to a former school to pay some outstanding school fees. Well, the journey there was the same, just that on the way back I met three friends.The security guard was still the same, and so was the school environment.The payment process was pretty fast.It was 4pm when i arrived, and it was just 4.30pm when i left It was surprising to meet Afian at the stadium, though it was not a CCA day. And on the way out, I met Pei Xuan, who was surprised at seeing me in the school(I dint expect to meet her there at all).
So, I decided to see who else I would meet if I walked back to the bus interchange. And I sure met someone again! Kuan Wei was almost reaching home when we ran into each other, and he was back in IJC after his JAE posting.

Later that night, Pei Xuan and i gave each other a pleasant surprise. She was surprised to see me in MI just so that I could pay my school fees. If there was not a need to, I would not have went there already,plus, I never expected to meet her there either. After that,I was appalled to hear from her that a friend who was from MI during the PAE period was actually still in there, though I previously believed that all my friends had left MI for their JCs and polytechnics.

Well, now on to yesterday...

It was a pleasant outing.Weiwen,Joycelyn,Fiona,Lim,Sean,Thadd and I met at Somerset Mrt station at 1.30pm and left for Orchard Cineleisure for lunch at Subway. We had a nice lunch, but were unable to decide on a movie to watch, so we just went to an arcade at Plaza Singapura to pass the time.After that, at around 4.30pm, After Lim and Weiwen went off,the rest of us went on to Star Bucks Coffee at Wisma Atria,while I went to the Gmask kiosk there, and found out that the was no avaliable stocks for my laptop wrap that was free.So, empty-handedly, went back to meet the rest at Star Bucks, before leaving for Bukit Batok shortly after that, so that I could meet up with my parents and head on to a friend's place for dinner.

Their place sure was great, and it gave a peaceful sort of feeling.And, I finally had a possible job offer,though it came a little too late.So at around 11pm,we left for home.Well, i'm still not sure if I am still willing to work, but I will think it over for now...

I'm starting to wonder if the good things in life are the things that really come later than one can expect...

To The First Step Of A Journey Of Fantasy

Looking at the remnants thou left behind,
Retraced the footsteps of thou.
Crack and shattered was thyself,
Embracing those short moments.

Aye,those were the days.
The days we enjoyed and lived,
Left settled in memories,
Awaiting the day to be relooked upon.
Souls and spirits shall enlighten our path,
Together,into the depths of the unkown we shall go.

Dedicated to a close friend, of MI, PAE-08S6.

A Short Reunion

Had a small and short reunion with 4 other members of 08S6,which was quite light as always. Met up with Thadd,Sean,Weiwen and Joyce before heading to Sunshine Plaza for lunch at 3pm. Well, I'm not sure,but I did not see that place on a map yesterday.After that, took a bus to Wisma for a light snack at The Coffee Bean. Planned and came up with some of the details for the next gathering, though not all 25 or so classmates would be expected to turn up for this one.We headed on to the next destination, Taka, for some of us wanted to get some stationery for school.Well, din't turn out so well, when Joyce gave us the wrong information, leaving us running around the 1st,2nd,3rd levels as well as the basement.

At around 5.30pm, the guys and the girls parted ways, and it was left with the three of us.We took the train to City Hall, where we took a short break at City Link. It was close to 6.30pm when we decided where to go next. Thadd was going home, while Sean would be waiting for his family to have dinner at Raffles City, and as for me, have a little look around the IT Show at Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

It did not turn out to be very great as the papers said it would be, but the 4m wide walkway sure helped me move with more speed than during similar shows and fairs back in those days.As such, I managed to gather up some information about some of the products and assesories within 30minutes after I entered the first exhibition hall on the 6th floor. Anyway, I still did manage to pick out some of the booths that I should be visiting tomorrow, so that I can get some things done before I go around the whole complex again, this time paying more attention to the other products being sold there.

With time the footprints fade,
With memory they will be remembered.
With each day we forget,
With each thought we trace.
With every second,
With every mind,
There will never be anything that would be deemed impossible.
