OMG so crowded...

The TOYCON 2010 was disgusting. It was so crowded. I actually had to wait in line to buy a ticket. I was told that prior to the opening the line up was all the way down in the 2nd floor of Megamall.

Yeesh!

There were so many cos players and browsers. I wish I had more time to browse but it was just too crowded, it felt like I was in a can of sardines. Luckily, I was able to picked up a few things...

But here's some pics of the event...

TOYCON 2010

Been really lazy posting my hauls but I think it is fitting I put this up -

kakuranger (power rangers alien rangers) set from Toy Con 2010 (though the yellow is missing a sword, the white ranger is more of a yellow-white; due to age, and minor doodles here and there)

Here's all of it put together ( Minus the Kakure DaiShogun; in storage and the black battle borg; still don't have)


[L-R, T-B:Tsubasamaru, Chogokin Ninja Red, Muteki Shogun, Doron Changer, Battle Kark, Battle Saruder, Battle Kumard, Battle Logan, Ninja Black, Ninja White, Ninja Red, Ninja Yellow, Ninja Blue, Shinobi no Maki]

Contentment..what more...

OK I find that this is a fine line. I live my life in contentment; meaning that I am happy and thankful for all that I have.

However, is my contentment due to the fact that I grow tired of fighting for something better? am I just complying to the lifestyle I have grown accustomed to?

What more could I want or ask for? I always figured: a place to stay, family and friends is all I ever needed. Though when I look around..it seems like that is no loner enough. I feel like I'm in a society that constantly beckons people to have more...more money, more cars, more power....

I am reminded of the same question I asked earlier in the week "to what end?" What is it that we hope to accomplish when all is said and done? What is the point of building empires? It can be seen in history that empires never last forever. Is it our hope that we leave our footprint on this earth, with hopes that people will not forget us?

In time everything will forgotten. Everything that ever was or ever will be...forgotten....

Gym rat ? ....who me...?

It baffles me...its been 2 years since I started going to the gym religiously. 3 years running daily. Yet I don't see a diffence...I wonder why I still keep on going to the gym?

Only then did I realize that it's not just about working out anymore.

In all the chaos that goes on around, when I'm either running or lifting weights, I actually feel that I'm in control of somthing in my life. I may not see the results but during the one hour out of my whole day it's just about me....

The last few days has been really rough...I think I'm going to lay off the nyquil for a while. I find myself falling asleep relatively easy but waking up in the morning has been quite a challenge...

To what end?

Everyday I always think that i'm walking a straight path to the next destination...though a year down the road i look back only to realize i have been walking in circles...

To what end do we live our lives for? What is your purpose..to some its seeing life as adventure...to others it's family.

I admire people who live for a cause...but to what end...
I admire people want to make the world a better place...but to what end...

Whats your purpose in the world?

Pics of my new stuff:

Okay just so pics of my toys didn't get mixed in with my recap of November:

Hmm..can't seem to find the pics and their not in my camera anymore...grr...
AHA! My mac decided to steal all my pics and delete them from my camera...

KYORETSU-OH

Another Birthday Gift (assuming my dad is ok with giving me a toy for the occasion)This here is Kyoretsuoh..so he's like the "ancestral mecha" of the Go-onger. He is composed of a big Mamoth, a triceratops and a tyrannosaurus.I know it looks like a giant block but wait till you put all the the mechas from the series together..

ENGINE-OH G12!!!

This toy is a combination of My Brother's family's gift for my birthday (Last two years), a couple mecha that I picked up in Hong Kong, a mecha my cousin Claron picked up in Japan (it's authentic- my only mecha that wasn't imported), and my dad's Birthday gift to me (?)... all together you get : G12!!! This guys a Freaking giant brick (he doesn't event move)...and He's massive!!!!

...funny I thought I had more pics of toys for November...I guess that's it...till Christmas (or the first week of December)...

Nov.30 2009

Wow November went by in a blink of an eye. So today was apparently a Holiday..one which I spent most of the time working...though got to say better now than later.
Its officially December in 5 hours and I haven't even had a chance to post up all the pics I had taken during November. But to recap the month:

• Nov. 8- went to the wedding of my dad's 2nd cousins son (?) in the Mandarin ( of which I was not prepared to go to..therefore I have no pictures)
• Nov. 15- another 2nd cousin had a wedding that I did not attend.
  

Our Green Belt 5 Lvl3 Gallery Event went on from Nov 13-19. That was such a great event. Must say the modules looked amazing....couldn't have asked for a better set up. Good job Johanna!

It was great fun and the craziness continued Nov. 16 was my Birthday (of which I had posted pictures already.)

Our guest from Malaysia was in town from the 16th to the 20th, unfortunately we didn't get to take any pics....maybe next time.
The 21st till the 29 we had our Green Belt 5 level 1 event...

.....while that was happening we had guests from Australlia in town from the 25th -28th. Went out to eat lots during these three days... also brought them to Amber lounge in the Fort Strip.
