Lego minifigs collection

Ah.. Lego, the block most of us chew when we're kids... well, not many of my friends played with it. I for one.. was seriously in love with the thing when I was a kid. I use to bug my mum to get me a few small boxes whenever we go out for shopping. I was particular interested in the sci-fi themed version... ^^

Fast forward many years today, I no longer actively collect, well i still pay attention every now and then.. but not that frequent anymore. Tried to get a few small boxes.. i couldn't get pass the initial models that they give you. Last time, i could play with 1 small boxes for ages... it truly is a

new toy everyday..

So I went out just now and saw this.... minifigures.. the yellow characters for toys aged around 8 - 12 yrs old. they came in all sorts of varieties. last time they used to have the same facial expression, but nowadays they comes in all sorts of emotion. some even have beard. hahaha... and hair for helmet...

I couldn't resist, so I bought 5 packs for now. It has a total of 16 different figures to collect. Due to the packaging nature, it's random. I'm still lucky i got each different ones.. but as i progress further, I reckon i'll eventually collect a few duplicates.. =_=!

Open up the pack reveals the minifig in seperate pieces, it took less than 8 secs to put him up actually, 5 if you're quicker. haha...

It's not bad... RM9.90 per pack. :) seen any you liked? i particularly like the kid with the skateboard, because of his hair.. haha...

Bodhi heart sanctuary @ 29th May 2010

Last week we had Friday as public holiday so someone suggested that we go out somewhere to shoot. So hence, Bodhi Heart. The place is situated somewhere around Tanjung Bungah.

click this link to go to the official site.

Not too deserted, but not too easy to find. We did ask an uncle for pointers. haha... not good to get lost along the road in the cemetery area.. yep, the road leading to this place is along the road where the Chinese cemetery is.. :p

Arrived at the place and shot around, sorry I didn't snap the area around the main gate. should have to give you guys a glimpse. the place is mainly for meditation, a lot of greens.. a few Buddha statues... and more greens and flowers, meditation center up around a small staircase leading up a small hill.. it's very tranquil. :) good place to visit for you to clear your mind and perhaps participate in the meditation session to further calm your mind.

caught this spider as Calvin saw it. It's camouflaged inside the flower petal, waiting for small bees to come in i think. It's also a pretty convincing camouflage if you ask me. Most of us wouldn't even realized him... thanks to sharp-eyed Calvin.. ^^

water lily...

a small frog resting in one of the concrete decoration in a pond... way way inside the covers of leaves.. heheheh...

Splashes of water 'caught' and 'frozen' by spider webs on top of grass field

a future pro! Iverson teaching Nic boi how to snap...

credit goes to Iverson again for teaching Nic boy to use the small pebbles around a field to form his name... hahahahahhaa... a kid teaching another kid these things.. :p

Genting Trip @ 15th May 2010

I have not been to Genting for quite some time already, let's see... 7 years? since college. Been wanting to go with different groups of people, but nobody really wanna go there. They much prefer Cameron. Finally, this year... our gang decided to pay a visit and 10 of us formed a group and headed out.

We took a bus and reached there quite early in the morning, we can't check in yet as the time had not arrived so we hang out in Starbucks. The rest went to wandered around while I ordered hot choc with Calvin and started painting away...

Soon after leaving our baggage at the counter, we went for breakfast at First World Plaza, in Marry Borwn restaurant. Had a hot bowl of porrige and waited around...

We went to purchase the outdoor theme park tickets for unlimited 1 day pass of RM44 per adult. We shared the amount with friends as we can get a free ticket with every purchase of 1 more courtesy of Digi! always the smarter choice ;)

Skies was bright throughout, not hazy at all.. moderately cool.. was warmer compared to 7 years ago... global warming perhaps? managed to snap rainbow... :)

I skipped this cos the queue was too long, instead, I snapped them... tried out a panning shot.. was too dark so I PS-ed it to look brighter.

I challenged myself to ride this towering "Space Shot" ride. Rode with YS and ah pang. the thing is there's 4 rows of 3 seats strapped to each side of the tower. it will slowly lift u up... upon reaching the top... it will push you down very very fast. I thought I'd be fine.. but when i'm on top of the seat high up there... my heart raced... like mad.. and i can't control but let out scream.. hahahaha... YS screamed beside me as well... (blush..) but it was scary for my "old" heart.. :p but better than the rest who opt not to ride it.. ehheheheheh.. ..:p

Had our lunch at this Shanghai 10 restaurant... I'm not objecting but im not looking forward to it.. hehehee..something tells me it looked fancy but lacks substance..

weird tasteless cold dish...jelly fish thingy?

fried rice... hmmm. so so ....

Xiao Long bao.... i've tasted better ones...

weird salty cakes...

crunchy outside... yam stuffed inside....

Went to Ripley's believe it or not museum too.. featuring wacky collection and items from the man himself.. RM27 if not mistaken... looked exactly the same as before except a few small sections were closed off.. and the magic gate got broken... sigh...

Sunrise... managed to take a glimpse of perhaps the nicest sunrise i've ever seen so far... beside a mountain.. looked out in the horizon... endless horizon.. featuring golden color saturation from the setting sun... nice.... nothing blocking the view... just us and the scene... and cold breeze.. can you imagine that? :)

Well, what do I think of this trip? it's not bad going out for a trip with a bunch of nice people... but the trip itself was not what I have imagined it to be.. it looked.. too familiar. I thought given a 7 years gap there'd be a substantial change.. but i was wrong..will i ever visit this place again? you betcha... in the near future? no... LOL... :)

P/S: Special thanks to Iverson for solely organizing the whole trip to us! Kam Siah you very very muchy!
