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.

At home. in the morning. cant go out and meet friends due to being on standby.

Clean up my facebook apps.

Spend time rearranging lego again. trying to fit everything into my room.

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.
