The U-boats
Filed under Hauls |During my trip to KL I managed a number of hauls, the detail of which can be found in this post. On my last day there, my friend Big Mo took me to Section 14, Petaling Jaya to raid a hobby shop located above Sushi King. So off we go while I have ten hours to my flight home.
Of course, bringing the previous hauls was no easy task. After much cramming and distributing the stuff inside all the bags, we were barely able to properly package them. So, if I’m going to buy something on the last day, it will have to arrive in Kuching by post. So that was what I did, with hours left to spare I had to ask Big Mo to get my stuff for me, package and send them at some other time.
And on last Saturday, the parcel arrived!
It was big. As in, biiiiig. Shipping cost RM 50. ;_;. The good news is that I got them at a discounted price. Talk about walking into a goldmine!
Academy 1:150 Type IXB. This model has a built-in motor and can be made as a functional submarine or as a display model. I’ll be likely to construct the display version of this since the thought of having to risk losing a model submarine so painstakingly constructed does not sit well with me.
Otto Kretschmer’s boat, the U-99. Revell, 1:125. *fap fap fap*
Unfortunately, the shipping has left one of the bridge railings torn from the spruce. Which means I have to make a replacement part myself. Bugger! Bugger!
Huge thanks to the Big Mo for showing me around the hobby shops in KL and PJ!

Firefox 3 is here
Filed under Life |
“Damn, it’s not out yet.”
A new version has been released! Introducing the AnnoyingAwesomeBar, better memory usage (wohoo! 30 tabs!) and breaking your incompatible add-ons. Thanks to the American-centric developers, the attempt to break the world download record is screwed up.
Reason?
Firefox 3 was to be released on the 17th. What they didn’t say is that the time is 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, which means 3 a.m. for Malaysian pledgers :(
As for the software itself, so far so good!
