Didier Drogba Double Destroys Arsenal

The Gunners were torn apart...

Chelsea proved exactly why they are considered the favourites for the title this season as they maintained their impressive recent record against Arsenal to claim a 2-0 win in the Premier League this evening.

Carlo Ancelotti's Blues poured on the misery for an Arsenal side that have only managed two wins from the last 15 encounters between the two London rivals as a Didier Drogba strike and an own goal from Thomas Vermaelen settled the match at the Emirates Stadium.
In a meeting between the Premier League's strongest attack and meanest defence, Arsenal had been on the front foot during the opening exchanges and had been taking the game to their west London counterparts.

It was Chelsea, however, who were presented with the first chance of the match after 18 minutes as Frank Lampard, passed fit to play despite concerns over a thigh injury, put Nicolas Anelka into the clear but Bacary Sagna tracked back to get in the vital challenge just as his international compatriot was about to pick his spot. There were suspicions that Sagna had hauled Anelka to the ground in the process of making the crucial tackle although none of the Chelsea players appeared to appeal for the penalty as Lampard fired wide from the follow-up. It would take 24 minutes before Arsenal created their first real opening as Samir Nasri drove forward before hitting a low shot from just outside the box. It was a decent effort from the 22-year-old but a lack of real power ensured Petr Cech made a comfortable save.

Despite a distinct lack of genuine efforts on goal, Chelsea grabbed the initiative when Drogba scored the opening goal of the game to continue his imperious record against Arsene Wenger’s side. A smart finish into the net via crossbar and post made it nine in his last nine outings against the Gunners following good work down the left from Ashley Cole.Just two minutes later and the Blues had opened up a two goal lead as the unfortunate Vermaelen put through his own net. Ex-Gunner Cole was again the provider as his accurate cross was delivered into a really dangerous area and the Belgian international, undoubtedly worried by Drogba’s presence in the box, diverted the ball past Manuel Alumnia for 2-0 Chelsea.

Wenger made the decision to bring on Theo Walcott at half-time in an attempt to inject a bit of pace into his side and Arsenal were a little unlucky not to have reduced the arrears almost immediately after the break when Andrei Arshavin had a goal chalked off after an alleged foul by Eduardo on Cech.The Czech Republic goalkeeper had initially saved well at the feet of Eduardo although as Cesc Fabregas played the ball back into the area, the Croatian forward was adjudged by referee Andre Marriner to have kicked the ball from Cech’s grasp before Arshavin slammed the ball into the net past a ruckus of Chelsea players on the line.

Chelsea nearly increased their lead with what would have proved a somewhat fortuitous goal on 64 minutes. Drogba got the ball onto his right foot before shooting from just outside the box although the former Marseille star’s effort was deflected first off William Gallas and then off Lampard’s chest to force Almunia into a smart save low down to his right.
Arsenal continued to press and probe for a way back into the match although Chelsea effectively put the game to bed with a terrific free-kick from Drogba.

The 31-year-old claimed his second of the match on 86 minutes as he dispatched a stunning strike into the corner of the net from around 25-yards out to increase Chelsea's lead at the top of the Premier League to five points ahead of Manchester United in second place.

I'm Driving a Vintage Car



I'm currently driving a maybe 60 years old Volvo. Its bulky and sturdy which I'm sure will remain alright even if I were to drive it into an elephant. Its my first time driving such an old car because as a person who thinks life is sacred, I'm prone to avoid life threatening situations such as this

However, I'm simply without a choice because my uncle wants me to help him to start his precious antique now and then since he and my aunt are off to the US for my cousin's newborm baby. Bless her. Her baby was safely delivered

This left me with the task of starting the car. And since I'm lazy as well, so I might as well just drive it to work istead of starting the car and wait for it to get 'heated up' for ten minutes. Surprisingly the car is better than expected seriously. It is nice to drive an antique once in a while. Especially my dress code of white with black tie and that car is also white fits properly. I should have driven it to the Bar Council dinner the other time (:

MSM 04 Acguy


Following Zimmand Company's MSM-03 Gogg, the Zeonic Company produced their own amphibious mobile suit for the Principality of Zeon, the MSM-04 Acguy. Acguys used many of the same parts and components as the MS-06F Zaku II, including twin Zaku II F-Type Minovsky ultracompact fusion reactors. However, even with the twin reactors, the Acguy left only a trace heat signature, making it effective for stealth operations

The Acguy's weapons consisted of four 105 mm machine guns mounted in the head. In its right forearm was a mounted mega particle gun. The right forearm also had extendable claws (along with an extendable arm to increase striking distance) for striking the Earth Federation's mobile suits and property. In the left forearm was a mounted six-tube rocket launcher. Some models also had rockets in the right forearm, replacing the mega particle cannon and claws, and other models had machine guns in the forearms


The Acguy was a decent amphibious mobile suit, mostly due to its ability to sneak into bases undetected by enemy forces. Several MSM-04 Acguys sneaked into the Federation's Jaburo General Headquarters on November 30, U.C. 0079 on a covert mission to destroy the Federation's mobile-suit production facilities, which were being used to produce their RGM-79 GM mass-produced mobile suit



I've always love Acguy. It is this super cute mobile suit. It is easy to weather and customise. Most notably are those teddy bear or Doraemon like customisation. Me on the other hand like it as it is so all I did was mixing some colour and spray it

Nice as it is, it is not as flexible as I thought. The joints for one. When you move the the legs especially, it will rub against other parts of the body and it will be scratched. Therefore it is wise to weather those area to mask the damage. The it is also not so bendable. Like if you want to make it sit down as some do, there is a part in the back of the legs which must be remove first. Very troublesome if you think about it. The arms are stretchable but it will fall of easily

The Day Just Got From Bad To Worse

Lady Luck is not smiling to me today. Not at all. The day had been really disastrous

1. I forgot to bring out my Touch and Go Card

2. I forgot to take out my Shearn Delamore's Security access card

3. I forgot to bring my external hard disk with me which contained all my work and research

4. I forgot my coat when I'm suppose to be attending a conference in Bar Council later in the afternoon

5. My mum just called that my dog is badly injured by its cage. Very badly injured

Can the day get any better? These are all signs that it will not. I don't give a shit

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
