Updates (21)

 A complete circle

 

Before starting this post, I would like to apologise for not updating this blog regularly. I have completed the Decool Bat-Tank but did not have the time to complete the WIP post. There are a lot of things which are happening. First off I will be finally taking the diving course which I have paid for since last year. This will be happening at the end of April. To top it off, there will be the audit which I have to pass which will be happening in May.

 

In the meantime, here are a few things which has happened in the long absence from the blog. First on the list are the Egg Attack posable figures from KidsLogic/Beast Kingdom. Originally I wanted the Darth Vader but since the shop has a buy-one-and-get-the-2nd-at-50%-off deal, I got the Stormtrooper with it.

 

Decool 3354 Motorcycle - WIP 2 (Final)

Where's the stand? Find the stand !!

 

In the previous post, the engine block or the heart of the motorcycle has been completed so the only way to start this post is with the heart implant.

 

 

 

Decool 3354 Motorcycle - WIP 1

Another Decool set

 

I have been assembling a lot of Lego sets recently. Truth is Lego takes up less time to assemble and these past few months, I don't have enough time to complete even one small section of plamo. So I will be bringing out my Lego sets from storage and assembling them until I find time to get back to plamo.

 

Another brick set to be assembled and this time it is the Decool 3354 Motorcycle. This is the Decool version of the Lego Technic 8051. What is interesting is that the original Lego set has a 2-in-1 build function and this is the alternate build. Hmm...I wonder if I can build the original version.

Learning to Ride (again)

It's good to be back

Mentioned in the Welcome post, one of my hobby is riding a bike. I remember before I got my bike license I told myself that I would take the bike through the small lanes around the island. I'm very curious on where they will lead me to as most of them are either too small to fit a car or it can fit a car but the lane will become narrower.

 

I started getting on the bike since I was a young kid. I cannot really remember all of it but the only thing I remember when I was a kid was I would always tag along if my mum/dad rides a bike. I love the feeling of the air on my head. I grew up on a bike. My mum would take us anywhere on a bike. It is more convenient and a faster but more dangerous way to travel.

 

I did get my bike license in 2001 if memory serves me correctly. I was still in college and needed a transport to go to and fro from college. Since I did not have a car license yet, my mum reluctantly agreed to let me ride to class. I still remember the night before. I was in bed visualizing the route to college. These were the things playing in my mind: What route I will take, how I would turn on a slope, where to park, how to store the helmet.
