Wedding Day

AY & PY became husband and wife today. Pictorial chronology of events went like this...well, almost chronological that is...

Post Stag Night

First off, as the story goes, rushed from the office to town.

Went to pick up some "supplies" first before meeting up with the crew. My usual vice.

Then it all began:



And so the story went, AY survived it. AT helped him get onto Orchard Road, but by jove, this chap really managed to hold it all together after downing some 250% Al' down his innards...nobody dared put a tea light near him in case he cut the cheese...the whole pub would've been on fire...

Now we gear up for his big day this weekend. If this evening is any sort of indication of what is to come, we'd really like to see how this whole ceremony will turn out. Time to hit the sack.

Of Kites And Lights

Finally managed to clock some decent flight time with the kites. It used to be that the Jackrabbit and myself crashed the kites before the batteries ran out. Nowadays, we can at least manage a decent landing, strong winds notwithstanding (just no rain please). These nifty things can really take a beating and still continue to fly - a testament to the efficacy of their robust design...drop by here to have a look at what I'm babbling about. Pro3 is the model we've been getting our grubby mitts' on, steering it with an Airtronics RD6000. Came back after clocking the necessary flight hours and hosed me 1/100 Scale Jünchoon ODK down with some kitchen grade Mama Lemon for a weekend build...at least after A & P's wedding this weekend. His Stag Night's due this evening. Can't wait.

Period Movies

Got a sudden call from Dr. Ti for the loose Eastern interpretation of Hamlet...turned out to be a visual stunner. Costumes, arms & armour, sets, cinematography - top notch. Zhang Ziyi did a fab job...kudos.

Sabbath

Highlight of the day had to be this:

Owner of M.Blog drops this surprise on me. Thanks bro!

The other surprise came from this WAVE 1/100 kit. Nightmare of a kit to be honest. Having been pampered by Bandai's latest injection plastic wonders, this 90s vintage looked like it was put together by a laser profiler-reverse engineered injection mold!!!
Gripes aside, weekend wrapped up really well. CG was fab. Post-CG meet up was fab too. Time for bed.

Old Faithful

Went to the trailers site for the recent Tokyo Game Show 2006. Good ol' Harry (and Nobuko T. of course) has teamed up with Hideo Kojima once more on the latest installment of the PS Smash Hit series Metal Gear Solid. As far as initial impressions are concerned, the soundtrack is reminiscent of Gregson-Williams' earlier Man On Fire OST, with hints of MGS3 Snake Eater thrown in. Visually, it looks set to be a stunner. But all in all, Gregson-Williams on the score is a definite PLUS. I'm happy. Go here to see some of the latest TGS 2006 trailers. Expect Hideo's usual bag of twists at the trailer's end.

S.C.D.F

Sure Can Do Fun. These chaps appeared to be doing a fire drill. They watered the greens around them too. Brilliant idea. This is really a photo binge.

Swiss-Cheese Nation

Weekend's here. Photoshoot with AY and P. Dinner thereafter. Milled about in the city for a while. Solo. Another tunnel was soon to be opened. We're turning into Swiss-Cheese nation at the rate we're digging up this island - tunnels, optical fibre networks, more tunnels and underground city malls...

The "Bulldog" Speaketh

"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

- Sir Winston Churchill
(1874-1965)

Sunday Tropicana

The temperatures finally dipped with an afternoon shower. Day was spent pretty much at the centre of the Island (it doesn't really quite make sense to demarcate the lsland into it's various zones when it's only 23 km long by 43 km wide and weather patterns generally....oh well, it's summer here all year round save for the Monsoon season...) messing about with bits of plastic and watching the Ten Commandments (yeah...that classic).






That being said...it's turned out to be a pretty good weekend. Finally feel recharged for a change. Bracin' for the new week ahead! Hoo-ah!

Photo Prolific

Finger on the shutter trigger, day may be over but pictures linger.

Thankful

Every now and then, the Elf pops up with one of these from her trips around continental Europe. She just keeps getting better. Way to go Elf. Keep shooting.
