Harold and Kumar 2

Watched this movie yesterday. It is very funny with lots of Sex Jokes. And a lot of weed smoking. Very vulgar, bad taste, but entertaining.

Lots of F words and nudity (even frontal), so in Malaysia 100% not going to show in cinema.

Make sure the friends you bring along have an open mind, or else they might have a very different opinion of you after this movie.

That's one advantage watching Movies in Singapore.

Real News of Malaysia (Malaysia Today)

This website is very informative about Malaysian Politics and real news. I have been reading this quite often. Check it out guys.

P/S: Stayed in house again for whole weekend. Paint up another model. Hehehe... I will save a lot of $$ if I keep on doing this.

How I spent on my last 2 weekends

Last 2 weekends (4days), I spent on painting my Confrontation game figurines. These figurines are used in playing a table-top tactical fantasy miniature war game. I loved this game very much, and over committed it 2 years back. I think I spent more than RM5k for these figurines. They are really expensive. I have about 180 big and small figurines and only painted 23 of them. The Wolfen models below are considered large ones.

It's been a long while since I last painted them. Basically I prepared them as below, by assembling and glue the lead metal models together, then spray a coating of white or black base coat like below pic:
then I painted them up to these:







I painted total of 7 models for 4 days, although the paint job is not tip-top quality, but fair enough for game play and display at home.

Below is the size comparison with a 3" inch Dunny. My 3" inch Dunny is a giant compared to these figures huh.

Meat Production is wasting precious resources

(Information from George Jacobs' letter to the paper, I got similar information from the book "Skinny Bitch" also)

Human Population : 6.6billion

Animal Population eaten by people yearly : 50billion !!

Food used to feed the 50billion animals yearly, is enough to feed the entire human population for more than a year. Just imagine that we human will have so much surplus of food if we cut meat.

Roughly more than 10kg of plant food is required to produce 1kg of meat.

Hence the world will be a better place if human consume more plants than meat.

Books Read in March 2008

Finished 2 books in March08:

1. Brida by Paulo Coelho
Very easy and quick read. The story is mainly about Love and Finding of our soul mate. And sometimes Love need not to be possessed or owned, just sharing a loving moment in a particular time or situation is enough for a life time remembrance.

The main character is Brida, a witch apprentice, who is trying hard to succeed. She had help from her master a witch, a wizard and his boy friend.

Paulo's books are quite entertaining, always there is a twist and surprise in the end. Well, the book is based on Wizards and Witches characters of modern days, maybe might contradict to some people's religious belief, need an open mind to read this book.

2. Micromotives and Macrobehaviour by Thomas C. Schelling
This author is one of the 2005 Nobel prize recipient for economics, he wrote "Strategy of Conflict". I am getting this book from the Library soon. Could not get it in normal bookstores at the moment.

In this book, Schelling illustrate how decisions made by individual will slowly effect the larger crowd eventually. Well, great economist like Schelling really like to make lots of Hypothesis, and look into it one by one, segregating the unlikely, likely . And then chart it out and plot into Graphs for better explanation.

(quote from Editorial Review)
""Schelling here offers an early analysis of 'tipping' in social situations involving a large number of individuals."—official citation for the 2005 Nobel Prize

Micromotives and Macrobehavior was originally published over twenty-five years ago, yet the stories it tells feel just as fresh today. And the subject of these stories—how small and seemingly meaningless decisions and actions by individuals often lead to significant unintended consequences for a large group—is more important than ever. In one famous example, Thomas C. Schelling shows that a slight-but-not-malicious preference to have neighbors of the same race eventually leads to completely segregated populations.."

Allergy Attack !!

I had an allergic attack last night.

I was using a cream (Eurax) to sooth itchiness from my allergy after bath. This time I used a bit more since I accidentally squeezed out a big portion.

After 3 minutes, suddenly I feel feverish with blood rushing towards my head. My eye balls were swollen red, neck, waist, arms and thigh and legs, itchy rashes starts popping out. Even my palms are swollen red.

I quickly gone to the shower to bath in cold water, cleaning all the cream and cool down my body. Then while resting, the itch and rash still not subside. I made my self a "三七花" Tea to slow down my blood pressure, and then took some Propolis (Bee Hive Extract) as they are believed to counter allergens.

The attack did subside a bit, and I went to bed straight after. This morning, all the rashes are gone and I feel normal again. I think maybe my body is healthy or the Propolis did work its wonder?

Really ironic, as the cream I use to sooth my allergy rashes is the one that causes it all along.
Anyway going to the doctors for an opinion.

Neptoon Project figures by Sam Hout

(Click on the image to enlarge it)

I did it again. Bought another set of Vinyl Figures. This set of 6 pcs cost less than half of the retail price in the USA. The main reason for this discount is the Producer and Distributor is in Singapore.


This set was out in 2006, old collection actually, but the cuteness is eternal. They are very cute and I personally think it looks great on the display shelf.

I need to concentrate on the theme of my collection or else it will be very awkward and mismatched when display on the shelves.

Semi Pro !

Got a free ticket for this movie through buying a magazine which was SD4.50. (The movie Ticket is SD7.50).

Very funny and entertaining movie. Had a good laugh. Will Ferrel is always funny. This movie is quite"meaningful", especially to basketball fans. Well, I like Will Ferrel's flicks... He is funny even just standing there doing nothing.
