With the sudden influx of new year and Christmas loot posts, I was kinda feeling left out... Not any more!!! Back from the Land of the Rising Sun and back in Sweltering Singapore, I have spent about a half hour organizing and arranging my loot. This...

Hey everyone... I was just making some Onigiri and thought I would share them with all of you and take the opportunity to ask about what your favorite Japanese "fast food" is? When in Japan, I pick up at least one Onigiri per day, as I can eat it eve...

Year 2009 was non productive. I did not fix much gundam plastic models because I told myself I shall spend more time for studies. But instead, I bought a lot more of those which are fixed, completed models.

Was out and about today, in areas around Japan while it was an absolutely gorgeous day in Tokyo (and elsewhere). Crystal clear skies with a lot of freezing wind, but it still made for some good photos of my traveling. These shots were taken on the S...
