Yeah, it’s been about 6 years. Forgot about this blog. Was pleasantly surprised to see that somehow people still stumble on some of the old posts hahaha. Thinking of reviving it. Facebook posts just don’t seem very… detailed.
Right. Will resume blogging soon. Out.

Wow. I haven’t updated in a looooooong time. Haven’t in fact touched miniatures and paint for the same amount of time! Been distracted by the new toy I bought some time back:
Been playing some old tunes that I used to know… and some new ones as well.
Anyway, I should be getting back to miniatures and wargaming soon. A ton of uncompleted projects!

Enjoying myself at a seaside resort with pristine beaches!
Got to witness an endangered species, the sea turtle, laying over a hundred eggs and burying them in warm sand, under cover of night.
Had a good long swim for the first time in ages, too.
There’s a platoon of US marines (I’m probably exagerating) staying at my beach resort… saw them ‘training’ in their fatigues on the beach? What the hell’s happenning?
Who CARES!
Had a fantastic dinner at a place called ‘Alor Akar Seafood Restorant’. Except I didn’t eat any seafood! Just fine herbal whole chicken, stir fired lettuce (with garlic) and tofu with minced meat… strangely a great gastronomic experience!
Elaborate 40k posts will have to be postponed, I’m having too much fun!

Still looking through the new codex Grey Knights… will be writing a post on them soon…
Also started work on drilling and pinning for the other parts of the set piece for a painting competition that has Brother Raphael in it. Once it’s dry, I’ll be doing some green stuff sculpting… something I’m not very experienced with. Ah well, I’ll learn something here, I hope.
I’ll be going on a short trip in a few days to a beach resort… Cherating, and the ‘beautiful’ Pacific / South China Sea. Post pictures if I remember to take any!

Wow, I haven’t updated my blog in AGES. Well, it’s the holiday season, and I’ve been doing some overseas travelling.
Watched Harry Potter 7 at Siam Paragon, Bangkok. Horrid movie! Bangkok with the significant other was pretty fun though.
Also saw Tron Legacy on Imax 3D. Not too bad, but there weren’t many great 3D shots. Jeff Bridges as both young man and old man. The wonders of technology.
Tried out the Universal Studios Singapore Theme park… meh. But I wasn’t expecting much anyway…
All miniature painting currently on hold, but I hope to get back to it soon.
Anyway… Merry Christmas! I’ll be holding a mini party at my place, with some friends.

Yeah, it’s been yonks since I’ve posted something. But, really, I’m still alive.
Been busy with work. Also, I’ll be doing some travelling in November. So, there’s some ‘preparations’ for the scheduled vacation, where work is concerned.
Anyway, I think I’ll be able to resume more regular posting in a few days. Hopefully. That isn’t a meaningless scribble like this one…

Isn’t that like 10 candles too many? Talk about overdoing the wax…
Ah well. Time to play my favourite song from an 80s german group…
(Forever Young…)

It’s that time of the year again. You know, acknowledging that you’re one year older. Once upon a time, birthdays were great. Your parents organised a party and family and friends all wished you happiness, and you get cool presents…
Nowadays, you put up with looming mid-life crisis and all sorts of people give you a hard time, birthday notwithstanding…
To all those who did wish me happiness, thanks. You know who you are.

Following renewed interest (among gaming groups in my region) in the Battle Fleet Gothic game that first got me started with GW games years ago, I’ve scrummaged through my old stuff in search of my ‘all-conquering’ Chaos Fleet… and it’s nowhere to be found!!!
I still have my unpainted Space Marine fleet and a couple of old unassembled Chaos ships (plus the broken Planet Killer, which I’ve only used once before), but of the venerable Chaos Fleet that has won me countless games (and technically never lost one, EVER), there is not a sign!!! Oh no! I know I can re-assemble the ‘same’ Fleet with the unopened ships that I did find, but it just wouldn’t be the same!
Demmit, the guys have done up The-Best-BFG-Table-In-The World (TM) (pics to come) and I don’t have my old Fleet to try it out!
I’m going to search a bit more before calling it in, but I fear that the Fleet has somehow been thrown away when I last moved house…

An old schoolmate (Karwei) is in the country, after the completion of a 2 -year project in Georgia (East Europe) he’s been working on for his company. He’ll be returning to the States next week. So an invite was sent out through the Facebook grapevine and 7 dudes (who happen to be in the country) showed up for a reunion of sorts. Incidentally, another old schoolmate (Chuck) was around, having been in London for 4 years working in the Theatre scene. There was a lot of catching up to do, over tea and later, Snow Beer.
Snow Beer is apparently something served at the restaurant we met at. It’s actually super chilled beer with tiny icicles in the liquid. Another schoolmate owned the place. Thanks, Mervin, for the free snacks and beer!
Georgian wine, courtesy of Karwei, was later brought out and consumed (not bad) and another old schoolmate (Aaron) got his wife to deliver some fine Australian wine for our sampling (she’s in the wine business, apparently).
Really feel nostalgic about the old school after meeting up with them. I should return there one day. Funny, how everything turns fuzzy and the only recollection of your old school that stands out becomes cherished and good, despite all the bad things that also happened there…
Except for Ming, I’m not really close to the other 5 dudes who showed up. And incredibly, by pure coincidence, another old schoolmate (Lee) came with his friends for supper at the restaurant. Him, I know. I was quite ‘buddy’ with him in primary school, but we drifted apart in secondary school, somehow.
Everyone there had not changed too much, physically. I know from seeing photos in Facebook that this is not so for many of my other old schoolmates. Some are completely unrecognisable (fat, balding, leathery, greying hair etc).
I’m glad that most are doing OK financially, despite the economic downturn.
There is going to be another ‘reunion’ before Chuck goes off to London again. I’m looking forward to it.
