Melaka Camp 2007

Saturday, November 24, 2007

Late post! About camp! Last holiday!


Still loved last IF t-shirt the best

Last holiday I attended the my seconded Melaka camp. Another sun, beach and sea camp, my fav.


For this camp, no dorms, no air-cond, no canteen, no hall even. We slept in tents and had meetings under a canopy. Ah~The great outdoors.


Having arrived at campsite in the afternoon, we spent the rest of the day lazying and lepaking.

Youth!


The guys dug a 4-feet hole...for fun...we thought of dunking someone in but there wasn't time

For the next 2 days, we had sessions and meditated on the Bible and what verses meant.

the morning jog where everyone walked


Lounging at the "hall" after lunch. This was where my mouth worked faster than my brain and...let's not talk about it...


lazy evenings

We had night hunts

treasure hunt at night


Debbie does yoga every morning


clues searching


The committee did a great job but most of us were spent and ended up just sitting somewhere....

guys pillow talking..in a tent...sweaty...mm hmm

Glad I signed up for the camp...learned a couple of stuff, got closer to a couple of people. All good. This camp was one of the most lepak I've been to. Had lot's of spare time..This is my kinda camp haha. Best way to start the holidays.

P.S

I'm Modeling

Saturday, November 17, 2007

I've been a fan of robots or mecha anime since I was young. I think I was influenced by Macross or Robotech when I was young and so Macross(not Robotech) remains my favorite. I always wanted my own model and about two weeks ago I was given my own at last. A 1/144 HG Chaos Gundam from Gundam Seed series.
Eddy, my classmate is an avid collector and possesses the tools to make a good model. To keep it simple I'll just show you some pics.


Eddy placed his collection in front of me to inspire me....
The little bits on the ground are the stuff I'm working on.


Chaos wears a Spartan helm!!

Basically the parts come in pieces like..

...this
We need to pry them out, cement them together, put in the joints, sand-paper and then...

...spray


Parts with the first undercoat, another layer of the actual colour needs to be sprayed


Even the paints have a special brand


Vijay busy snipping the parts and reading the manual

Despite of all that, I'm only 70% done with it, most probably be completing it the next two weeks. Here's a showcase of...

Eddy's 1/100 NG Astray Red Frame..note the huge ass katana


And his 1/100 NG Gold Frame Amatu Custom that he completed yesterday...shiny

Gundam 00, this year's Gundam series is currently airing. Also modeling means modeling Gundam models, I'm in no way strutting any catwalk :D For more into the intricate world of Gundam modeling, see this Danny Choo post.

Vertigo

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Taken from Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary

ver·ti·go
Pronunciation: 'v&rt-i-"gO
Function: noun
Inflected Form: plural -goes or -gos
1 : a disordered state which is associated with various disorders (as of the inner ear) and in which the individual or the individual's surroundings seem to whirl dizzily —see OBJECTIVE VERTIGO, SUBJECTIVE VERTIGO; —compare DIZZINESS
2 : disordered vertiginous movement as a symptom of disease in lower animals; also : a disease (as gid) causing this

For the first time in my life I was affected by vertigo. This is a feeling I hope I never suffer from the rest of my life. With 6 hours of sleep, I went to the gym and then the pool. When I was out of the pool the world tilted its axis and I was spinning around and puking all over the place. Fun huh?
Symptoms include

  • Sweating
  • Erratic eye movement
  • Blur visions
  • Nausea and vomitting
Uh-huh all check. Whatever I ate from thereon ended up on the sidewalks. That's 2 days ago. Now I still feel slight dizziness. Mild vertigo the doctor tells me. Gotta imagine what severe cases are like...ughh.

Thanks for the HG Chaos guys. I'm now 30% into completion and when I do I'll post it here. For those of you who don't know what that is...here's a pic


Why only 30%? It's not as easy to make as you think if you wanna do it the right and professional way. I'll do a post about it next time.

A Christmas Thingy

Saturday, November 10, 2007

A Christmas Thingy (AcT) will be this year's CF musical and it replaces NoC if any of you still remember. I've been given 2 roles this time around; Assistant Props Director or something like that and I'll be acting as a bartender. A dancing bartender D: But no dialog. Should work out fine I guess. Being the bartender means I'll be involved in a STOMP scene as well. I got offered a SINGING role but I declined. I can't sing for nuts. Much more comfortable being in the background. The stage need filler characters, no?


Bottles filled with rice means Cha Cha rythm


Vijay and Stef, grand overlords of the STOMP scene


doing some choreography work

I know a lot people actually look forward to our yearly musical plays. These things take a lot of effort and practice. And I've got carpentry work for the props as well.
It's slated tentatively for the 19th of December. So come see it. Hopefully we'll be as good as the years before. For more posts on AcT go to Andrew's because he's the guitarist for the play.
