Background Information: Well, I went to Japan with my school on a school trip from 13th to 20th November 2007. (Duh, obviously you go with the school on a school trip...) Yeah, so we visited certain places that are rather interesting, and at times thought provoking. As usual, I have my handy-dandy camera with me. (No, not a handy-dandy notebook.)

Well, Day 1. We visited the Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island, which is located in Hatsukaichi, in the Hiroshima Prefecture. It's a place filled with deers, and the deers are cute =D Although they seem to think that everything is edible, one even tried to eat the plastic bag I was holding. (Haha.) Indeed, Japan views their culture and tradition as a very important part of their lives. In spite of their speedy recovery from WWII, culture and tradition was never left out. In fact, there were many Japanese touring the shrine, and praying there (in fact most of the tourists in Japan are Japanese).


First Impressions, and Daybreak =D

Yea, it's my favourite Gundam. I mean, I haven't actually been interested in any of the Gundams since Zeta Gundam, so yeah, this is kinda worth posting =P

It's worth the money for a 1/144 High Grade. I mean, it's very good for posing, with those poses printed at the sides of the box all possible.


Back and Front view, and the GN Sword.


Close up of the head, it's nice eh?

YES, I haven't black-lined or painted it. I HAVE EXAMS!! But the colouration is 80% correct already, which makes it even easier to paint. I mean they even tried to establish the "GN particles glow" at the legs, hands and sides of the face. Not very fantastic, but a great improvement from the SEED and SEED Destiny era. Seriously, I think black-lining is good enough. Maybe after I return from Japan =D

*I'm not very experienced in modeling kits, on a side note.

Ya, I simply love kids. They bring much joy to me since they are so cute and cuddly, like a teddy bear! >.<


Hadassah eating a cupcake. She was told by her mother to stand at the side to eat so as not to mess up the area, but she still went around anyways. Hehe =D

Joash! The baby with large eyes! He just loves to take photos! I mean when I have my camera, he'll crawl around hoping to be in the shot!


O.O A camera? Take my photo!


What's this camera doing in front of me? Can it be eaten? =D


Hmm, how do I open this flask? And what's this round, circular thingy?

Last, but by no means the least, Megan. Mdm Tang's (that's my form teacher) daughter. That day, on Graduation Day, Mdm Tang brought her child along with the class to East Coast Park. Megan's really adorable, and looks a lot like Mdm Tang. (Click on the "Graduation" label for the Graduation Day photos!)


This photo was "photoshop-ed" by Kevin, my classmate. It's really good and nicely done. *I wish I had photoshop skills and the program itself =(


Now, see the difference between the size of my hand and Megan's? (Yes, that's my hand. >.<)


An artist at work! First, you think of what you want to draw. Then, you get a drawing board. Then, you start drawing!

OK, the second picture, Megan was staring at my friends playing soccer. Look under the Graduation label, I'm too lazy to link it >.<
The third picture, the teddy bear in the picture, was drawn by Mdm Tang, not Megan. But I'm sure Megan will inherit her mother's genes in drawing (and physics =D)!
