The New Little One

While Alex Ferguson is barking like a mad dog, I've got a new dog. Lets take another dig at Alex Ferguson shall we? He's someone which I have zero respect for. If lose then lose la! Bising bising. Old ugly and stupid. Alright. Back to our dog here. This is Gary



Its a Shih Tzu. Given to us by my neighbour and also friend's father. Zi Le's dad gave him to us. Lol. Its a very cute little thing. Well, all dogs are except of Alex Ferguson of course. Nevertheless, this pup brings luck! He is born on the Independence Day and since arriving at my place yesterday, luck had been on top. Most notably a Chelsea whipping spectacular!

Terry-fying the Devils

John Terry scores and send us top of the league, well, as if we are not on top already. Well, as usual Man U sends a group of divers to play instead of a group of footballers, which is why they can't win. After so many injuries they just don't learn the simple rule - Diving on land hurts you

The match is one sided in 2 ways. One, Chelsea is controlling the game. Two, the referee seems to be a Man U fan. I really can't imagine why the second half flying kick from Jonny Evans to Drogba goes unanswered. There's no booking and ther is no card! Well, there is one for Drogba! I switch on my WTF look immediately

But one good thing is, the referee learns. When the injury time is 5 minutes, the whistle is blew exactly after 5 minutes instead of 8 million minutes after

In short, Chelsea is nothing less than impressive while all I can say is Man U Suck

SD RX-79 [G] Gundam Ez8

As the One Year War continued to drag on, the Earth Federation Forces began to put the vast majority of their resources towards creating and maintaining the mass-produced GM line of mobile suits. This left many of the Federation's older units without the adequate supplies needed to undergo repairs and regular maintenance. This put more trouble to the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type since they were constructed primarily of spare parts left over from the RX-78 development project anyway. Due to such supply shortages, when 08th Mobile Suit Team pilot Ensign Shiro Amada's RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type was all but destroyed during an ambush on the Zeon's prototype Apsalus II mobile armor, it had to be rebuilt from the ground up.
The resulting amalgama of spare parts was given the new model number RX-79[G]Ez8, code named the Gundam Ez8 (Ez8 standing for "Extra zero-8".

The Gundam Ez8, despite being constructed largely of spare parts, was actually capable of slightly higher performance then the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type. By removing the fixed weapons in the left side of the chest the Kojima Battalion engineers were able utilize the extra space to improve upon the engines and reactor, which gave the Gundam Ez8 higher generator output, better propulsion, greater thrust, and superior general performance. The Gundam Ez8's armor placement was also revised, giving it added protection around the cockpit block and chest, and around the ankles
To compensate for the removal of the chest-based vulcan and the multi-launcher, the Gundam Ez8 had a 12.7mm anti-personnel machine gun placed in the mecha's abdominal region, as well as twin 35mm machine guns mounted in the head. The Ez8 still retained the two beam sabers stored in the compartments in the sides of the legs, and was still capable of using all of the armaments its predecessor could, although Shiro heavily favored the 100mm machine gun. The traditional Gundam "V-fin" communications array that was mounted on the forehead was also done away with, opting instead to replace it with a more durable rabbit-ear communications antenna on the right side of its head. The Gundam Ez8's backpack design was unchanged, which still allowed it to mount mission packs and field equipment options
Shiro Amada's Gundam Ez8 would continue to see service in the South-eastern Asian theatre during the One Year War, until it was destroyed during the battle to overtake Zeon's mountain facility where the completed Apsalus III was about to emerge.

Cute as it is, again it is an old suit. This is even more simple than the Kampfer earlier where it takes only 4 steps to assemble. Simple and easy to fix, it also does not need much colouring. Just some top coat, or maybe a little weathering will make it perfect

SD MS 18E Kampfer

The MS-18 Kämpfer was a prototype mobile suit created by the Principality of Zeon in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, designed by Yutaka Izubuchi. For the figure Zeonography, it is redesigned by Katoki Hajime.

In the few remaining days and weeks before the end of the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon churned out several new prototype mobile suits. One of these new units was known only as the YMS-18 Prototype Kämpfer, which Zeon engineers quickly began producing different variations and redesigns to create custom units meant to excel in specific mission roles. One of the variations created was the MS-18E Kämpfer ("Kämpfer" being the German word for "fighter")

The "E" in the MS-18E Kämpfer's model number was an abbreviation for the German word "einhauen," which translates to "one strike." "One strike" summed up the Kämpfers role in combat as a fast assault unit. It was meant to strike quickly, cause massive damage with its varied weapons loadout, and make a fast escape. The Kämpfer was a very focused design, never intended to work outside of its created role. Within this role it was an exceptional unit, rivaling the Federation RX series in firepower and speed. The unit was covered with thrusters and verniers to give it high maneuverability. Conversely, the large number of thrusters resulted in a high fuel consumption rate, limiting it to only being operable for short periods of time.

Its designers chose only minimal armor plating, even removing the hip mounted skirt armor found on most mobile suits entirely from the design. The choice of conventional explosives and weapon systems in favour of beam weapons was made to reduce the drain on its powerplant and resultant drop in speed. Weapons racks were designed to be ejected from the unit as they were expended, minimizing dead weight. The unit was intended to be operated by special forces, built to be easily disassembled and reassembled in blocks. This was to aid in its insertion and activation behind enemy lines.


This is a very old SD. It was introduced first in 1999 which is way long before I start Gunpla modelling. But I do remember having one which I must shar with my sisyer when I was like.... Standard 4? So it really bring back some nostalgic memories. The old one was long gone though. This one, I just bought it recently! Its not easy to find. They reproduce some but its limited

Of course the old suit is easy to assemble even comparing to the SD Sangokuden. This for example only requires like 6 steps. Lots of colouring work is necessary of course. It also comes with the Armor set. But I don't like the armors every much. The armor meka it look like EMS 10 Zudah.

Its a nice SD really. I must show it to my sis. Old childhood toy. And I've always been a huge fan of Kampfer!

Blues Riding Wave That Threatens To Blow Atletico Madrid Aside

Two weeks ago, many wondered if Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea side were fatally flawed. Now, some are wondering if they have any flaws at all.Defeat to Aston Villa, with both goals coming from set pieces, unleashed the hounds. But the subsequent four games have seen four wins, with not a goal conceded and money put away at the other end.

Victory at Bolton on Saturday, with a 4-0 scoreline that included a team goal of sumptuous quality that was slotted home by Didier Drogba, dispelled the notion many had (or hoped) that the Blues were poor travellers.From the brink of catastrophe then, Chelsea are now riding the crest of a wave - with a momentum that looks difficult to stop. Just the Champions League challenge of Atletico Madrid stands in the way of the Blues preparing for their match against Manchester United in the best possible form.

Their fortunes are in stark contrast to those of title rivals Liverpool. Ancelotti is not a mean man, and will take little pleasure in observing Rafa Benitez's current troubles. But the Italian will note the Reds' recent travails and be thankful that he has inherited a squad of far stronger depth, and in far greater health.After all, when it is going for you, it really is going for you.

Four wins, 17 goals scored and none conceded in the last week - few could ask for much more
