Before I forget. I forgot her the last time I posted, so here's two head-shots of Stella, which was used to test-run different skin shading [I've since settled with the spectrum in the Pocky shot, which I really like, and that Djinn inexplicably really likes too! That fills me with joy.]
( Oh Stella )__________________________
I've been meaning to post for a while, but was largely motivated by my forage out into the Wild World today [ie. to Chinatown Square Center and back to Kovan to do much grocery-shopping] to do so because of a sight I have to record.
My dad was handily in the same area photocopying stuff, so he picked me up after grocery shopping [very conveniently, since I had a big grocery bag and three other bags of stuff that couldn't be fit
into the grocery bag – I would've trudged home by MRT and foot]. As he drove out of the winding carpark, my eye caught…
A car that was modeled
exactly like
Binaltech Smokescreen.
And then I looked up and saw the little 'Taxi' sign, and realized that some geeky taxi driver decided to dress his atrocious blue taxi up as Smokescreen.
I was slightly bemused at first because Smokescreen's BT design has 'SUBARU' emblazoned across the front, and I didn't think that taxi was a Subaru; until I saw another taxi of the same model and realized that
it was a Subaru. So evereh bodeh geeky in Singapore, man, watch out for that Smokescreen taxi and try to get a photo because I didn't manage to! TAT

So after recording that anecdote, I know it's somewhat late of me, but I'm not into hoo-haing anything about school, so here it goes.

Happy note : Transformers! Our Masterpiece Megatron was
tragically impotent when we de-MISBed him, and the guys at U-Toys were all too nice to be willing to replace him. I went to collect TakaraTomy repaints of Classics Starscream and Megatron too, of which are painted lovely. I think they're finally getting used to the fact that we're actually collecting Transformers for ourselves.
Also, I still can't believe Botcon themselves basically created Screamer and Skyfire's kid.
Duuuude. Man, everytime I see it my brain busts, and I
like these guys!
That reminds me also that we actually have a lot more Transformers than we appear to have, and our dad has been nice enough to approve our collection of Giant Robots and has suggested -
while looking at them on his own accord - that we should get a glass cabinet for them. Frankly, I think we get our collectors' genes from him, the man who has a ton of pretty-women-playing-chinese-orchestra-i
nstruments figures, and other figures he finds beautiful, of which there are horses and oddly, sheep. Toy collection? HIS FAULT. XD
