Today is the anniversary of me and Irin's official going steady. Been six years now. Ups and downs no doubt, but everything has worked towards a better understanding and stronger bond.

13th Dec 2010
Weekend flew by with the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention (STGCC). meet some old friends. had some new financial insights.
how come financial insight? well, this round's STGCC happened to be er... lacking in the area of attendees which result in a over-loading of stock. on the third day of the event, some prices are slashed down by at least 25% to 50% as exhibitors wish not to move the items back to the shop or not making enough to cover the fair.
due to various reasons, i was there on the third day but didnt buy anything. let me use Nendoriod Saber as an example.
i went on the 2nd day of the fair and bought this piece at 60. the lowest price i can find was 70 before this fair. so i bought a piece.
on the 3rd day, the price plunged to 45. if it was me in the past, i would have bought a second set to sell off at 60 so that my purchase price will be 45. i came very close to buying.
then i asked myself 2 questions.
1. how long will it take to sell off?
2. do i have better use of the money?
1. not sure, as this is a new product and market supply is still high. will take ard 1-2 years to hold and sell.
2. well, putting the money into Lego, i can get back the money within a month at 3 times the cost.
hence, 45 for saber and getting back 60 = 15 profit.
45 for Lego and getting back 135 = 90 profit, which is 6 times more profit.
well, that sort of put everything into perspective. so what i'll have to do is to suck it up that i made a reasonable price purchase rather than a "WHOOPPIE! I killed the shopkeeper!" price purchase.
Figma and Nendoroids are my collecting passion. regardless of its pricing highly dependent on market supply, i'll still collect it at the price i deem reasonable. there isnt any point spending time to run all over the place hunting for the best price when the time can be spent on better things like improving myself. a few dollars in saving vs improving your mind to make millions, which would you choose?
Today Yan is at home, rituals of the wedding is being carried out as i type. at 11am, Xiong will be coming over to deliver the betrothal gifts.

Standing in for William while he is on leave. Guess thats the main purpose of my exsistance in the company as a roaming engineer, to stand in for ppl when they are on leave or MC.
Last friday, had a long talk with irin. i long painful talk and a wake up call or is it? was on the topic of whether should continue on with my current job. irin wanted me to change job as i dont seems to be fitting into the company, but i sort of see potential in trying to change the system.
then when she ask me what is my main focus now, my career or forex? i replied forex.
well... irin blow up and started to shoot off alot of things that was pretty hurtful, but true. i had some line that i can slap back with too, but chose to hold back. there is no point in having a fight. in listening, i gained more than fighting back. i know now how she feels, i know now how different we think.
one thing i would like to have said was, if you already known how old my parents are, whats the harm in living with them after marriage? shouldn't we be treasuring the time we have with them?
anyway, i never did say that, however, the next day, she told me that if i wanna live with my parents, we can take the BTO 3 generation flat. dont really know what that is. whether we live with my parents or not, will be a major deciding factor whether or not i get married. period.
over the weekend, i thrown out the old server, moved the stuff under Ranna's table back into my room. (Rinna cracked her toe nail on a dumbbell i left near the door) somehow after all that done, i find myself troubled and unmotivated. maybe what irin had said on friday have affected me deeply, maybe i should give up reaching for the sky and grab whatever i can nearby. maybe i should settle down and grazing like cows instead of trying to soar like an eagle. maybe maybe maybe....

3rd Dec 2010
Today covering Sng as he is clearing his leave. yesterday skipped RT due to heavy rain, 2 out of 3 skips used, one more left for backup. spend the night sorting out some lego and gachapons, assembled some starwars vehicles for sale. looks like i got alot of updating to do on my blogshop.
at the same time, some of the lego shops in brick link is putting up stuff that i want. haiz... managing the items to be below 400 to avoid GST's a bitch. maybe i should just pay the gst and up the shipping volume to even out everything. but then it will put a horrible strain on my wallet and i hope to be clearing as much debts asap. will hold and see.
As i just sent in the termination to Singnet and has recieved the confirmation that it will terminate on the 10th Dec, i was wondering if i was to be signing up for another home broadband (after i settled my storage issue), when will i be able to sign up for the optic fibre network which is advertised to be SUPER fast? second quarter of 2012 it seems... you can check on when you'll be able to subscribe for optic network with the link below.

Sent in the termination for singnet this morning. They tried to counter offer me the 10meg broadband at 23.90 and 5 dollars off local line per month. When that failed, another offer of 1 meg line at 4 dollars a month.
Since my main objective is to cut cost, I just told the guy, both offers are not attractive enough.
Watched 3 idiots yesterday, excellent show!!! Aal izz vell is the first phrase the lead said Which is actually all is well. The human heart frightens easily, you'll have to keep telling it all is well to calm it down. True, it does not solves your prob, but it gives you the courage to face it.
The evil trio to stop anyone from succeeding, fear, doubt and indecisive.
In the show, a lot is said about education and parenting. I think it's a very good show. Must watch.

Sajer came over in the morning to pass me his HDD to dl stuff from my PC before i delete them.
Havent been blogging these few days as alot of on my mind. money matters, toy matters, PC matters.
Money matters - Returned Seagull half his money. another half next month. after some calculations, if the toys i took in sell off smoothly, i'll clear all by debts. if not, by the time i stop work next year in march, i would still be able to clear half. that is if nothing much comes up. so what i'll try to do more often now is to focus on studies and camping at home to save needless spendatures.
PC - torrent server 1's HDD decided to conk out. hmmmm... due to its age, not worth the cost to get a 80 gig HDD to revive it. woah, looking at the prob written out really clears up alot of things. if this scenario is correct, the other 4 servers will also have to bwang le. this will free up alot of space in my room.
Yan was asking me if there is any good laptops at the fair. i replied her, does she really have a need for a laptop NOW? cos electronic stuff, the later you buy, the better the specs will be. at the same time, her wedding is coming up, its more ideal she holds on to the money as backup rather than spend it now. she can always get it at a later date.
back to my issue, i was spending the day deleting and watching stuff on my pc, trying to free up space. didnt manage to get the 2T HDD as planned cos the shop had gone to sitex. just as well, looking at it, i'll be terminating my BB on the 5th dec, might not have the need for high capacity also.
Space - Yan asked me what i going to do about the stuff under Ranna's desk. well, looks like if i throw all the GX1 servers away, i'll solve alot of space concern.
Toys - Next year's lego looks like a killer to me.
For army-building and churning. though i'm not a starwars fan, building armies of starwars forces are fun and profitable.
Pharaoh's quest, which will sort of be my one of my main focus next year.
Army-building as much as possible. of course, will need to wait for best price and discount.
Ninjago. might have to take a better look at the product before deciding anything.
Spinning game for Ninjago. have to look at the price and stuff. but looks like a good source for Ninja arsenal.
Might be the very last Harry Potter set. excellent in design, lots of exclusive characters. and might be a money churner.
http://brickpop.com/2010/11/17/series-3-collectible-minifigures-the-unboxing-with-pictures-and-analysis/
16 minifigs series 3 and 4.
Lastly, there's news of a Pirates of the Carribean series. waiting for more news.

Ideas are fleeting things. I have already forgotten what I wanted to blog about yesterday.
Came home early on half day leave yesterday. While deboxing my kingdoms LEGO, chatted with dad.
Ran into a old bmt mate during rt yesterday. Haven't seen him for more than 10 years since our bmt.
Just started on a new Facebook game. It's the first attempt by Square Enix to enter the social network. Square Enix is the company which SquareSoft , producer of Final Fantasy, and Enix, producer of Dragon Quest, had merged to become. Today's the third day I'm playing, and I'm hitting level 20 and over taking Eugene who recommend this game to me soon. I'm quite good at all these number games. Heehee.
Often I wondered, how come I never go into accounting since number always excites me. Well, it's as well, having a more hands-on job let me have more time for thoughts. Will need to be starting to learn to invest in forex.
Will allocate some time for these activities, exercise, study forex, God and bible reading. Irin was asking why am I blogging again all of a sudden. Well, I found the app for andoroid to blog and using the time between travelling, I can blog as and when. A better use of my travelling time.

Woke up at 7 this morning well rested. Think it's due to the exercises and chin-up i was trying to do last night. Having your physical body or energy expended, allows your mind to rest better.
Was thinking this morning, should I keep the LEGOs I want in boxes? Answer is? No. Why?
1. It's taking up a lot of space.
2. Since they are not for re-selling or selling as a set. There isn't a need for them to remain in boxes.
Recently I bought some old battles packs from a forum member. Damn, no wonder Mond and Alex were advising me against army build with battle packs. You can't believe what kind of low quality LEGO they make in China. Thank God I still got the box at PS to offload what I don't want.
Tearing up a set to sell works better for me than selling in sets. Need to sort out plans and look out for alternate builds for the really loose bits.
Hmmmm... looking at my past sales at toy outpost, seems like what Mond told me before, "that tearing up a set to sell while keeping the parts you want won't work", isn't correct. Well, what can I say but I have the grace of God. Things get sold for unbelievable prices. Guess in the end, shoppers are only about impulse and wants.
Was trying to update my blogshop yesterday in the office, it's not working very well. Hmmmm... I have to go into individual posts to edit the prices. There isn't a consolidated page of all the items. Looks like by wanting to keep the sold out sets on the blog will serve no purpose but to clog up the blog itself. So I don't think I'll be keeping those for record.
Need to spend more time to think and sort out the stuff.

Waited til 12 am for standby to be over before turning off my phone to get a good night's rest. turned off all the electronic device in my room also. then after going to sleep at 12am, i woke at 4.30 am, fully enegerized.
thinking that if i try to go back to sleep again, i'll probably oversleep for RT. so i started tidying up my table and some stuff. feeling quite satisfied at the end result and having to have put extra time to good use.
While packing up the stuff, i start to have some good ideas about how to pack and store certain stuff. guess the study proves to be correct, the mind seems to unable to generate ideas while using electronic product. only when your hand is moving and your mind is allowed to wander, then it can fetch good ideas back for you.
Time to put another good idea to use.
writing down 6 item that's to be done:
-Pack gachapons
-Pack Lego
-update lego inventory spreadsheet
-prepare Outpost spreadsheet for closing
-update blogshop
-ebay listing
Arrange the sequence of the things to be done:
1. Pack Gachapons - Need to clear these asap as i want to be selling these off first.
2. Update Blogshop - If its not listed, there's no exposure to sell.
3. Ebay listing - link it back to the blogshop for exposure as i only have 10 slots for ebay listing.
4. Pack Lego
5. Update Lego inventory spreadsheet
6. Prepare outpost spreadsheet for closing
later will be going over to TPY. might be doing the spreadsheet there instead.
Latest picture of outpost box. thanks to Seagull, the nendoroid nanoha can be displayed for sale on time. will return him the money by 25th dec.

Finished gathering the stuff that a seller wanted late last night. Hmmm... need to sort out and repost gachapons on my blog shop.
With the grace of God, my sales at toy outpost cleared the amount needed for rental yesterday. Unbelievable, second day of the month only. I thank you, God. You provide and in abundance.
During my reservist, Guan Meng commented that i have a good life. with passion in toy collecting, joy in having food and rest. well, isnt that whats life about?
Strangest secret:We must control our thinking. The same rule that can lead people to lives of success, wealth, happiness, and all the things they ever dreamed of — that very same law can lead them into the gutter. It's all in how they use it ... for good or for bad. That is The Strangest Secret! This is The Strangest Secret! Now, why do I say it's strange, and why do I call it a secret? Actually, it isn't a secret at all. It was first promulgated by some of the earliest wise men, and it appears again and again throughout the Bible. But very few people have learned it or understand it. That's why it's strange, and why for some equally strange reason it virtually remains a secret.
Our mind can do any kind of job we assign to it, but generally speaking, we use it for little jobs instead of big ones. So decide now. What is it you want? Plant your goal in your mind. It's the most important decision you'll ever make in your entire life.

Today went to tarafuku with irin for lunch. after that, we went looking at handphones for irin. at SCAPE, i bought some LEGO starwars clone troopers battlepack to put into my box at PS along with other stuff i prepared. Irin helped me in assembling the walkers to be sold.
shouldnt be spending money getting the Clone troopers while i'm so tight on cash, but, my recent stock of clone troopers sold out and i'll sort of need to keep the goods going on so that the ppl who have been coming to my box to get starwars will continue to come back.
Spend some time packing some stuff and sorting lego. sort of redirected the funds for Nendoroid Petite Nanoha to some orders of lego. hope that it wont be coming in soon. anyway it has delayed from aug to oct, now i really dont know if its coming in or not. hope i wouldnt have to borrow the 1400 from gull when it finally comes in.
Tomorrow morning i'll be going for RT. will be a good time in between to do some thinking also. according to research, thinking happens when you doing anything other than using electronic products. here's a link to that youtube. Future Minds also it was mentioned that use of electronic product have seriously affected communication and interaction between ppl. how many times have you meet your other half and spend the time doing something else on your mobile? food for thought.

First day of work after reservist. The users don't want to over-stress me and asked me to shadow my co-worker instead.
It's been a nice 2 weeks. Learning how to operate some new equipment. Catching up with friends and lots of free time to reflect on stuff.
Irin wasn't too happy about it though as I didn't meet her for 2 weeks. Not even phone calls as I had to sleep early to be able to wake up on time to travel.
Through the two weeks, a lot of things came to mind. how everyone is progressing, getting married, having kids. somehow, after my resolution to pick up my life, things start to sink back into it's stagnant state. I'm not studying forex or app programming as much as I should. LEGO was selling well, but currently I'm low on big sets to sell. my shipment of Nendoriod Puchi have yet to come in as planned, but I don't know to be happy about it or sad. happy as I'm low on funds to collect goods, sad that i have nothing to sell.
Seagull once ask that when I wrote in my blog what I mean by different financial views, I couldn't remember what it was about then. it's about when ppl will say when they have no money. in my case, I say no money when my wallet is really empty. what I have IS what I have.in Alf's case, he say no money, when he has no spare cash, but daily necessaries are still covered. in seagull's case, he'll cover daily necessaries and investments. I should learn to be more like seagull. I felt bad when Raymond tried to ask for his money back to invest in the maple tree IPO.
Had a big fight with Irin over the past few days. Over money, over time.
From time to time, she'll hint that i wont be able to afford the lifestyle that she wants. Once, she say she wanted a ring from tiffany & co. i say i buy for her, she laugh and said "you?". ever heard the phrase "cuts like a knife"? when i challenged her and ask her to set a target amount she will need for daily expenses in future, she puts me down and say i wont be able to afford it without even giving a actual sum.
Time-wise, she keeps wanting me to take leave, but i want to keep the leave as bargaining tokens or to cover my absence when i go for other interviews.
My current focus will be
1. Forex, mobile apps
2. Toy sales
3. Employment.

bought a set of kingdoms advent calendar today. lots of parts in there I wish to keep. swords, spears, unique bricks. need to spend some time to think what to sell off to even out the cost.
after reaching home, took a short nap. it was raining, why miss out the chance.
woke up refreshed. spend ard two hours to tear up and pack the Imperial Flagship which I got at the LEGO sale and build with Irin over 4 hours. why disassemble? no choice, mom going to buy new air con soon. have to pack everything.

Been a long long time since i blogged. too many distractions happening at the same time.
many many things happened. and some not suitable to be blogged about.
yes, i have learnt that certain things are best left unspoken.
learn the same lesson again that different ppl have different financial views. i cant blame others for have a different view from mine. and if i do get upset over it, it's my own pasa.
Major event - Overnight camping for the lego clearance sale, irin's birthday buffet.
Phone - alot of my distractions are from this. at the same time, my application to be a app developer just got approved yesterday. though i havent started to do anything about it yet, i'm quite excited about it.
Work - hmmm... haiz... some parts good, some parts bad. maybe have to move on when the contract ends.
Financial - Debts still there uncleared, increased abit even. Lego sales set me back abit, but once i finish sorting out the parts i can sell to cover the parts i want to keep, it should more or less be fine. still waiting for Nanoha Nendoriod Petite to be released, my biggest investment of the year. though i sort of used the funds for something else, thank god the release date was pushed back. hopefully i'll have enough funds by the time its released.
Toy Collecting - Gachapons in moderation, due to the increased price. Lego-wise, very aggressively, but its time to step on the brakes. still buying in lego for selling in my box though. By the grace of God, i have managed to hit 1k sales in my TOP box this month. and at the same time, decided on a number that i should keep my army to. 30. why? when i prayed for sales and a number to stick to limit my lego army to, my sales was 1030. 2 prayers in a single answer. Amen!
Forex - learning bit by bit, but i shall not trade until all my debts are cleared.
Irin - All things good. :)
Some times i think too much, some times i think too little. think i shall spend abit more time cleaning my room as my parents are going to do some things about the house: replace air-con, dvd-player.

Something struck me from House today.
there was a doctor who quit her job to become a chef. when ppl questioned her saying she should be curing ppl, she replied "so often, we are so busy doing the things that we should be doing, that we forgot to do the things we want to do. things that makes us happy."
Today i was attached to another colleague. we talked about many things, even about his family, life style, then i talked to him about insurance. i was surprised myself. i think its not that i dont wan to do insurance, just that the situation does not allow it.
If kok wah had spend more time with me to understand my situation, or even lend me some money, things would have been very different.
I ported my line over to starhub today. got my Motorola Milestone for $48 after all the rebate and anni priviledge. will start playing with it soon. wonder if M1 will start to show any pattern bo.

almost woke up late. last night reach home close to 1am. had a nice time at alex's place. it was such a WOW! Lego! house. there is even a train set running ard the dinning hall's ceiling.
Weiye left after dinner and later ard 10pm leroy left also. i was still building Alex's Fire Brigade. later me, alex and mond talked about various schemes to get more lego, or more out of lego. how to buy and sell lego, where to buy and sell and so on.
Talking to them made me realise one thing. Mond is a collector who focus on only Castle series; Alex is a collector who collects almost every theme there is in Lego. as for me, i'm sort of tinkering here and there. Alex ask me if i really like modulars, why dont i get them now? well, i do like, but at the same time i'm low on cash. i think alex might think that i'm cash rich from my bricksy orders. so far, all 3 orders i joined in, is at least 200 on each order. the second one even went up to 500 making me the top buyer of that order.
hmmm... how i see it is different, though i buy in alot from bricksy, half of what i buy, is to be going sold. it sorts of generates money to feel itself. but if i were to buy the modulars now, it will be close to 1k going out of my wallet, with confirmation that i'll be keeping those and not selling at all.
Did abit more things and interacted more with the users today. even prepared report and stuff. hmmmm... i dont know, everything feels kinda of funny. its like passing time for money. its not something i like to do but have to do. haiz... cant really put my finger on this feeling.

5am in the morning and i'm WIDE awake. when i went to bed at 2am, i sort of woke up feeling completely rested. since i cant get back to sleep, might as well do something.
Installed the GPRS monitor which came with my phone onto my phone. set in all the values for excess usage and alarms.
Meanwhile ripping out the hokkien kids singing into small clips to put on my dad's phone.
Will do other things on my blog as well:
a time line of my life
a target achievement chart
more of my wishlist; lego, sic and other stuff
Irin was complaining that i shouldnt be starving myself so that i can save, but i wan to be settling all my debts and stuff asap. why wanna settle asap? the sooner i can get things over with, the sooner i can do whatever i wan with my money. i dont wan to be saving to clear debt slowly while more stuff i wan becomes available and unavailable. it will always put me in a dilema whether to paying debt or getting the stuff i wan.

Blogging in the morning seems to be becoming a thing for me. nothing much to do in the office also. senior say he'll teach me on the ports later and next week on images.
Hmmm... my boss mentioned that there will be OT tomorrow and if i'm interested, i wanted to just reply "give me the time and place" but tomorrow's suppose to be a tiger day... so i ask what time til what time? he's also not sure on the details, say he'll find out and get back to me.
called up M1 to change my mobile plan, without contract. from sun savers to iphone value. a different of $11 for 12 gig of data download. when i called to see if there is any additional voucher for handset so i can get a iphone, the reply was my $200 voucher expired, what they can offer me now is $60. i replied, a cut over from M1 to singtel will get me a rebate of $100. they insist that there is nothing they can do. guess i'll be using it on my HTC tytn2 then. meanwhile looking and thinking if there is a good phone to hop over to for singtel or starhub. i'm total done and dis-satisfied with M1.
Settled munch with a $1.40 hot dog from 1901. hmmm... have to look for more cheap food.

Woke up, went to take 56 to work. end up 45 mins earlier than my reporting time. chill awhile at the benches ard. completed my playmobil pirates. was stuck with the knights version.
more or less spend the day doing nothing, other than meeting users, reading manuals.
went for meeting in the evening. seems like my big boss just joined the company in march, just weeks earlier than me. hmmm... good also la, better to be in the midst of change than to be sitting there and be hit by it.
Hmmm... from how things looks, i think more of the time will be just standing by, waiting for things to happen. like what i used to do in GMS. maybe good also, can let me have more time to do up my ebay and blogshop.
I start to wonder, if things are similar to GMS, why did i leave GMS in the first place? what was i looking for? have i found it? or did i just go 1 round to come back to the same place?

Today's my second day of work. Though i was told to follow my senior ard and try to pick up as much as possible, he insist that i sit in the cubicle doing nothing as he is in a rush to complete his migration. hmmm.... shrug. maybe for now, i should just listen to him and chill, doing nothing.
the good part is, he let me have a PC to surf net, bad news is some sites as well as Facebook are restricted. good also, i can use this time to complete some left over issues provided that i can remember what are those.
Apparently blogging site isnt restricted nor any of the lego sites and forums.
After sort of running out of sites to surf, a tot came into my head, its been a long time since i went into the gachapon forum, so i did.
When i see a post to sell Sega toys and orphaned posts by alf, something sort of snapped and i swiped the forum clean. lets face it, a person cant run the forum alone and the sad part is, unlikely lego, gachapon interest fades away after a while, well, at least for most ppl. maybe one day, i'll revamp the forum. maybe one day, i can get enough ppl who are interested to do something together.
Having too much free time have certain advantages. first you start to think things you like to think. like what shall i buy for my next lego? what's next to turn for gachapons? how should i spend my next pay? well...
what shall i buy for my next lego? : Green Grocer, Cafe Corner, Fire Brigade, havent got these yet due to the lack of fundings and by end of these year, prices of these sets are going to go crazy. 2010 sets can sort of wait ba.
what's next to turn for gachapons? Anizo 22, One Piece strong islands mascot 1 and 2, Yujin Pictorial Library Crabs reissue.
how should i spend my next pay? er... if i get all those above, i think this HALF month's pay will already be knocked out, not to mention that my orders from bricksy, an ebay lego seller, havent been accounted for yet.
Oh yah, i might wanna start on
S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii (Ultimate Soul): A smaller & more affordable version of existing S.I.C. figures. SIC are simply too big to be stored. not to mention the price. currently i already have the Hibiki series of this (Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Zanki and Kamen Rider Todoroki), only short of Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Knight, Kamen Rider Faiz, Kamen Rider Faiz (Axel Form)Kamen Rider Faiz (Blaster Form), Kamen Rider Faiz Auto Vajin
After thinking all the good tots, you start to look at the bad one also. hmmmm...
My bills, insurance payments, debts, think i'll need to look on only the bare neccessity to get and have all the bad stuff cleared first. legos will have to wait, gachapons will need to get first. SIC... hmmm... if i can get it below 20 for each, i might, but then again, i might not. actual SIC are double the size (triple the price) and have so much more accessories and posability. Hmmm... the only SICs i have are the Hibiki series. only 3 anyway.

what's next to turn for gachapons? Anizo 22, One Piece strong islands mascot 1 and 2, Yujin Pictorial Library Crabs reissue.
how should i spend my next pay? er... if i get all those above, i think this HALF month's pay will already be knocked out, not to mention that my orders from bricksy, an ebay lego seller, havent been accounted for yet.
Oh yah, i might wanna start on
S.I.C. Kiwami Tamashii (Ultimate Soul): A smaller & more affordable version of existing S.I.C. figures. SIC are simply too big to be stored. not to mention the price. currently i already have the Hibiki series of this (Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Zanki and Kamen Rider Todoroki), only short of Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Knight, Kamen Rider Faiz, Kamen Rider Faiz (Axel Form)Kamen Rider Faiz (Blaster Form), Kamen Rider Faiz Auto Vajin
After thinking all the good tots, you start to look at the bad one also. hmmmm...
My bills, insurance payments, debts, think i'll need to look on only the bare neccessity to get and have all the bad stuff cleared first. legos will have to wait, gachapons will need to get first. SIC... hmmm... if i can get it below 20 for each, i might, but then again, i might not. actual SIC are double the size (triple the price) and have so much more accessories and posability. Hmmm... the only SICs i have are the Hibiki series. only 3 anyway.

Bought Don's house warming gift and went over to cantoment. sat in the police station to chill while waiting for the time to go over as well as the rest to arrive.
The food was good. the view from the sky garden was fantastic.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 2 Episode 9 - The Measure of a Man
Recently been watching alot of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
This particular episode intrigue me.
In this episode, a Star Fleet officer request to disassemble Data, Lt. Commander Data, an android. Flatly, Data refused as he find that the officer's knowledge is somehow lacking and will be risky if he were to be disassembled.
Capt Picard defended Data but the officer had papers prepare so he can transfer Data to be under him. The last resort will be for Data to resign from Star Fleet.
A few issues start to come up.
Is Data a personnel or property of Star Fleet?
Does Data have a right to choose his own fate?
What will happen if Data is mass-produced?

First post of the year, but not on the first day of the year. hahaha lets go through things one at the time, shall we?
Career:
Insurance wise - i'll need to reconsider.
Basically, Kokwah cant make me payback anything i own him since he had told Raymond before that such are so-called recuitment risks. shrug. some thing that i'm not happy over but i just dont feel like talking about it.
Own Seagull $10 from the money he placed with me for gachapons, but since Guns 13 is already out, he'll be the one owning me 2 bucks. >p
IFA1 bascially just hope to enlist an experinced agent at no cost. free wowo to hunt for you.
IFA2 offered me another "EP" as well as more training.
I think before i go into insurance again, i wish to get my financial back into shape which is why i'm looking for work and doing up my resume.
Career/Hobby:
After compilating all the cost and profit, i have made a profit of 300. HU HU HU~! considering that the first 6 month is more on monitoring buying patterns, i think in a sense, more profit will be seen, provided that they dont decide to increase the rental. At the same time, Mond has placed some Lego for me to sell in my box. Hopefully this will draw Lego fan to my box so that i can use the box to offload my Lego extras. why? Lego decided to release their own form of tikam.
Hobbies:
Collecting gachapons still. downloaded a whole new bunch of documentaries. recently is more involved in Lego-collecting and building. alot of new Lego friends with many things to learn from. they study history to see how medival knight/castles are created and try to recreate them.
Love:
Still with Irin. >p 5 years and still counting.
Present:
Doing spring cleaning and consolidating my toys. hopefully will be able to work out a format to list them all on ebay smoothly.
After doing some rearranging with farmville, i decided to do the same with my room. Took out the un-usable(just need a new cartridge to solve the issue, but dont wanna spend) printer out and store it under Ranna's used desk. will be relocating the power extention to my middle desk. will clean up the plywood thingy further. might be putting wheels on my square table.
Still thinking on various issues like how my career should go, why does Kokwah say that 100% profit margin is hard to achieve? been following Raymond to classes on investment and looking at various stratergy and stuff. even there, they say that its hard to achieve 100% profit. is investing in stock market less profitable that doing your own business? hmmm...
