More comics

I haven't blog for a few days. That is because i was rushing to watch One Piece, i can't stop continuing to watch an episode after another and then again and again. The anime is great, should be the best i think.

Another reason is i am still thinking about the buying of the model which i mentioned earlier. I finally decided to buy it cos originally i felt like buying it and after more people suggesting me to buy it too, i will buy it!!! People who i do not expect to ask me buy actually asked me buy, so i felt more encouraged LOL.

Nvm about that for now, the "judgement day" will be at 10 night tomorrow. Whether i win the bid or not will now depend on luck. As for now, i am also lazy to post anything so i will just post more of those stupid comics. It's not easy to find this comic which i think is quite funny, i have to read over thousands of those comics and choose some which i think worth posting to be shown here. So here it is, hope you enjoy reading...

Some of these comics need a bit of thinking before you get it.

To be or not to be? Or is it.......

"To buy or not to buy? That's the question."

The above question is meant for myself. I am pretty confused on what to do now. It's like this, I have always been looking for this particular spawn figure online but my search always ends up fruitless.


This is the figure i had been searching for a long time- model i.043(also stated in my most wanted model wishlist)

After all this time, it never appear anywhere. But today, when i was browsing through E-bay cos i was bored, i NOTICED it was just put up for bidding. I was happy yet sad. That is because it came up at a wrong time... Why? Because i have just started to save money this month for the upcoming trip to Kuching. Cos i estimated that two months allowance of B$600 will be enough for the spending during the trip, not including the air fees.

Now there is where the problem occur. There is a model which i have been looking for a long time and love it, probably the one i most look forward to own now. The current starting bid is at around B$77, which i think will rise to about $150 excluding postage in a few days cos of it's rare. I know that i will regret forever if i let this opportunity slip away. Then on the other hand, i had been eating economy meal everyday with my friend during lunchtime to save money for my first-time experience to ever board a plane after 21 years. I wanted it to be memorable although it is not somewhere far or special. Afterall it is a first time experience.



So what should i do?
Buy it and keep worrying? OR Don't buy it and end up regretting?
I still have 6 days to make my decision before the bid ends. I asked my friend and he said buy it. I asked my mom and she said buy it and not go the trip or she will buy it for me if she kena 4D 2nite, LOL.

HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~~~~~~
What's your say? Any suggestion?


In case this post is very boring, here are some stupid dirty "Cyanide & Happiness" comic strips for you to read:





Finally i am glad that i have reached 1000 visitors in less than a month. Thanks to all those who read my blog, and specially to those who visit regularly. I hope you all keep visiting and i will make better post in the future.

Spawn V Urizen

Yesterday there was a blackout for about 3 hours so that is why there is no update. And also this post is supposed to be posted earlier, before the Nippon Maru Part 2 but....... Whatever, here it is today:

Today i am showing yet another spawn collection of mine, in fact it is the latest spawn addition to my collection. I bought it the same day i complained about the One Piece toy, cos of the reason stated in my previous post few days ago, i changed my target to this, a boxed-set Spawn V Urizen:



The landscape, and also the battleground of two monsters.



The giant double-bladed scythe used by Urizen.



This is also the smallest spawn ever created standing at only 2 inches tall.


Despite all those great features and also the nice green necroplasma shot and also the green blood of Urizen spilling out, this boxed deluxe figure is not a famous or well-liked figure. The reason for that is, according to the vast internet comment, a lot of people dislike spawn being unmasked, which the spawn in this set is. That is why it is not one of the highest seek figure, instead it become one of the least favorite deluxe boxed edition of spawn.

However, i like this figure, doesn't matter spawn is unmasked or masked, i still like it very much as long as it is a production of McFarlane named Spawn.

My figure at display:


If you want to know the outcome of the battle as in the comic, here it is:

TOTAL OWNAGE

If this picture above is being converted into a figure, then it will be real cool. It will also then be the second dead spawn in all the spawn toy collection series. I will love to own one.

The Nippon Maru Part II

Actually today i am not going to post anything, but something unexpected happened so i can't help but log on and post. Remember about yesterday post regarding the ship? The one that i said i wished to board. I finally got the chance to go into the Nippon Maru. YAHOOOOOOOOOO~~~ And i did!!!

I was so excited when i was informed that i was able to board the ship, when i was asked by my colleague who wants to go up the ship, i raised my hand and shouted,"ME! ME! ME!" So i immediately rushed to meet my friend. It's a great experience, me and my friend are so sakai, LOL... We took photos on and off board. I don't really like taking photos but this time is exception, cos like i said it's a lifetime opportunity.

So this is the first time i posted my own picture on my blog:


Excited looks before going on board

When entering the ship, we were all given stickers to stick on our clother to indicate ourselves as visitors. And when leaving, the stickers have to be return back in order to prevent others of re-using it to enter the ship. However i am lucky enough to bring out one cos i was given an extra when we entered so i kept one in my pocket. I get to keep it as a prove that i enter the ship before, hahahaha. The sticker looks like this:



First shot taken in the ship

That first shot above is nothing special, but it is a memorable one to show our sakainess, hahahahahahhha.



The picture above is the information about the ship, as you can see, the ship consist of 7 floors. That's the reason why we can't help being excited.

We toured from second to the seventh floors, but not the first floor. I don't know why though. There are a lot of facilities in the ship such as; assembly hall, dining hall, swimming pool, lots of rooms, posters and decorations area, also area where you can lie outside to get sun tan, and etc...

Here are some of those mentioned:





Officer and colleagues with me and my friend



Huge blower of the ship(Is that what you call it?):


More of me taking pictures with interesting features:
Nice sea view

Doraemon and weird-looking Doralin

relaxing couch

That is not all, the following picture below will be the one i like the most,

It is the one i like most even though my face looks big, LOL. At first i asked my friend to ask this lady who bring us to tour around, to take picture with us, but he said he malu. So i requested her to take a picture with me and she agreed easily. Actually i feel even more malu one but no choice, if he don't do it and i also don't then nobody will do it, and we will leave the ship just like that and never have the chance again. So i have to overcome the shyness to ask cos bopian, i like Japanese girls that is why i insist of taking picture with her to keep as a memento. Afterall, it is my first time taking picture with a real-life Japanese. Luckily Japanese people are very good-mannered and friendly, that is why i dare ask.

So that is almost the end of my story. We are indeed two of the luckiest attachment students, just like my friend said. We can board such special cruise ship. So before i end it, i wanted to thank those who ask for permission for us, attachment students to go on board. And also thank Zeing for the photos he took for me using his camera.

Finally, the last shot before i left the ship:

Sayonara...

The Nippon Maru

This is the second part for the post today...

I saw a damn big ship, a cruise ship- The Nippon Maru, on November 6th, yesterday at Muara Port. The first thing came to mind is- "OMG, Titanic!" It's real HUMONGOUS. My friend, Zinc told me if we can go up and into the ship, then we are the luckiest attachment student of the year. So we both looked for a chance, asking our superior whether we can go or not. The answers we got are totally different. His boss said cannot but mine say can. Confusing right?

I really do hope i can get a glimpse of the inside of the ship. It is a lifetime opportunity man... You know, inside it's just a paradise, there is even a hotel inside as i was told, just like what you saw in television- the Titanic and the Poseidon. My superior even told me that it is not open to anyone. Only some Port Members and those who take in the passengers as family for 3 days during their stay in Brunei, can enter the gigantic ship. I took a couple of pictures of the ship but i cant take the whole ship cos of its length, so i break it up into parts.

The closeup shots of the ship



Do you see how small the car is, when placed beside the ship?

The ship really interest me, so i look it up in the internet and found these:
Nippon Maru was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kobe, in 1990. She is 21903 gross tons. 166.6 metres long, and carries 607 passengers and 326 crew. Her speed is 18 knots. Nippon Maru runs both short and long cruises for the Japanese market.

I don't know how big the possibility is for me to board the ship, it will be leaving on the coming Monday so i really hope tomorrow i can get board it. I will try to ask for permission tomorrow. Hope i am lucky enough then. If i get in, i will take a lot of pictures to be posted in my blog, that is if i am allowed to take photos.

Portrait Of Pirates

Instead of making a long post as i mentioned yesterday, i figured out that it is better for me to write in two different posts because the things i wanted to talk about is two different things. So this is the first part of today's post.

Originally, i wanted to post this only after i have bought the two other toy models i planned to buy earlier to accompany the other one i already had. But sadly enough, it was sold out already. So with just one, i don't have any reason to delay the post anymore.


These are the two models that i said i wanted to buy earlier but it was sold out

What i meant above is the One Piece- Portraits Of Pirates toy models, just like the one i show in my model wishlist.


These are not mine, it's from the net

Actually, i saw another P.O.P model of Zorro which i wanted to buy.

This:


However i did not, just because i am not satisfied with the Chinese salesgirl at Chong Hock Kiulap. The colour of the box of the toy is a little fade off because of exposure under the sun, and the box was opened before. I wanted to have a little check before buying just in case the colour of the toy is also off, so i ask whether can i open the box, which was as i said opened before, to check for damages. The girl refuses no matter how i explained to her. It pisses me off eh. That's bullshit. If it's new and never open, then i understand but it is not, OKAY!!! Well... since those toys are not fated to be mine, then just let it be.



However, even though i did not buy the One Piece models, i got something else instead. It will be mentioned in the next post.

*D*R*E*A*M*

Tomorrow is Friday, so i will make a longer post cos usually i post more on Friday due to more free time. That is why today's post is going to be short. Here goes...

Have you ever had a dream which you hope that it is real? Well, i have, many times. I had one too yesterday night, it's about i finally got S.H.E to give me a signature on behind my shirt, pretty pathetic... but yet, too bad it's not real, or else it will be a great addition to my collection.

Pleasant dream really does make you love it as well as hate it. You can get whatever you want in a good dream, something that can hardly or even impossible for it to happen in the real world, that is why you should love it. However, you hate it for the fact that when you woke up, everything just vanish and what you get or see is not real, it's just an imagination.



I quoted this line from wiki:
"Dreams allow the repressed parts of the mind to be satisfied through fantasy while keeping the conscious mind from thoughts that would suddenly cause one to awaken from shock"

Today's post is nothing special, just that i feel like sharing my thoughts. It's pretty interesting and complicated how dreams are. Whether is it scary, fun, good or bad, i still like it. Afterall, it's another kind of adventure.

Full Course Meal

I am back with more of my cookings today. First of all, i wanted to clarify that i like buying cookbooks, but those are usually for a little guidance only, i do not usually follow exactly what it says. Moreover, the reasons i buy cookbooks are:

1)only if it is not really expensive
2)the pictures look really tempting
3)the ingredients are not too rare to find
4)buying just for the sake of buying it

This is the cookbook that i like the most, i bought it in Miri with a reasonable price i think for the quality inside.



Like i said earlier, i do not follow every ingredients and steps as the book teaches. That is because i believe there are some ingredients used that is not being stated. Not everyone want to fully share their recipe even if they publish cookbooks. Therefore instead, i prefer going to restaurant and taste their food then try to guess what they use for ingredients and then try it out on my own judgement, even i am wrong, i can still make some adjustment to make it taste good. On the other hand, i also enjoy watching cooking competition shows which the competitors go all out to be the winner. This way, they will give their best without keeping any secret ingredients, unlike some cooksbooks. Meanwhile, their skills and recipes are also being recorded for the shows, hence allowing the audiences to view all. Therefore it is a good way to learn cooking too.

料理の鉄人

The cooking show which i mentioned and also the one i watched many times is The Iron Chef(^Pic above^). It is definitely one of the most famous and best cooking show. I have downloaded almost all the episodes available- over 100+ episodes. The show goes like this, challengers get to choose who they wanted to battle with, out of the three chefs(Chinese, French and Japanese) defending the cooking arena(that's what they call it), then a theme will be set for each match, for example:- asparagus, then both sides must use asparagus as the main ingredients to produce as much dishes as they can and it will be then judge by 4 to 5 judges.

Picture of all the Iron Chefs (Ex & Current)


Enough of the cooking show, if you know me and want to ask for the shows from me, you can tell me. As for now, i will post a few more of my cookings from before.

Chicken Stew with Kailan


Wrapped Crab Sticks


Egg Flower Soup


Lemon & Orange Chicken Fillet



Sweet & Sour Prawn


This whole table of foods were made by me alone in one day. My first time making a full course. That day wasn't any special day. I just felt like cooking a full meal, so i just told my mom i was going to cook for the night and she just agreed. So i did. Well, they always complain, not about the food but that i never wash my utensils after i cook everytime. I just defend by saying i cook for you all, you help me wash la~ Right?


I will post some more of my own cooking in the future. Hope you enjoy reading today's post.
