Over the weekend, I took some time to take some photos of my Gundam Deathscythe Scale Models.

I wanted to bring out the darkness of Gundam Wing Mobile Suit. So I have to work mostly in darkness and used LED touches as my main sources of light.

Sometime back, I did some operations to insert a LED in each of my Gundam Deathscythe Scale Models, to light up the green eyes. I think the green eyes bring out the mysteries and darkness of this Gundam scale model series.

It was a fun experience taking photos of Gundam Deathscythe and Gundam Deathscythe Hell.

I had been wanting to setup a powerline Ethernet using Homeplug adapters in my home.

Recently, due to installing some new equipment, my Internet Access point (Modem) was shifted to another room. I decided to use powerline Ethernet to connect my existing equipment to the Internet Access Point (Modem).

I used TP-Link 200Mbps Homeplug adapters to do connection.

Bukit Merah Central McDonald’s Re-open in December 2010?

I am still recovering from the fact that Bukit Merah Central McDonald’s is now closed. But I just received some good news.

According to the supermarket aunties, Bukit Merah Central McDonald’s is now going through renovation. It is expected to re-open in December 2010. And it would not be as big as it was used to. It would be smaller.

I hope that, this is true. And I am definitely looking forward to the re-opening of Bukit Merah Central McDonald’s.

During my trip to Macau last year, we saw this drink Salty Plum 7-Up (咸梅七). Is it a different version of Salty Lemon 7-Up (咸柠七)?

We found this bottle of Salted Plum (or Salty Plum?) in the Supermarket and we bought this bottle back to Singapore.

Now we can easily enjoy the Salty Plum 7-Up and Salty Lemon 7-Up at the comfort of our home in Singapore.

This evening, when I was at Bukit Merah Cental for dinner, I was shocked to find that the McDonald’s there was closed for good. This was sad news for me. Before that, I had heard that that McDonald’s outlet would be closed soon. Despite knowing the news, I could not help but feeling something was missing.

I remembered, the last time, I visited the restaurant was on 31st March 2010. I went there to a S$2.50 breakfast before heading to work. Little I noticed the notice that it would close at 10pm on the same day.

Today, we observed Earth Hour 2010. I can help but to wondering, how does switching off non-essential light for 60 min will save the Earth when the same organization waste electricity on these light for 8759 hours per year and setting the air con temperature at icy cold temperature when it is so hot outdoor.

Just around 8.20pm, about 10 minutes before the Earth Hour observation, I was at Raffles Place.

I just saw the news that Earth Hour will be observed on the coming 27 Mar 2010, 8.30 to 9.30pm. I can’t help but to wonder if the purpose of Earth Hour will be achieved.

Spent a morning at Hort Park. Hort Park is a wonderful place macro photography. There are many flowers and interesting plants. These plants attract many insects like bees and butterflies. These provide much opportunities for us to practice macro photography.

In our everyday conversation, we have a tendency to be careless in our English Language. Sometimes, our carelessness could result in unintended message.

During a Toastmasters Meeting, I was guiding a first time evaluator to evaluate a Project 2 Speech on Organize Your Speech. The speaker was young beautiful lady.

The Chinese New Year is coming. And soon it will be the year of the Tiger.

I recalled that, I had taken some Tiger photos sometime in 2007 when I was on a working trip to South Africa. These Tigers were not from South Africa, but from India.

Let this year of Tiger be a year of Achievements and Advancements.
