Workshop: |1|

Yes yes, I know there is really no gender for robots but somehow, as soon as I finished my creation, it just popped into my mind that this is a 'female' robot.

This is a February 2013 creation.

Anyway, here's sharing of my creativity to LEGO fans all around the world. ^_^

And of course, the more the merrier! =)

Teaser for next in the series: step by step workshop for building a speed boat

谢谢你们陪我唱歌

是不是心境的关系，今天的“动次 动次 动次 动次！”好像没以往那么有劲的？

除了那阴魂不散的「煎熬」，我今天还是唱得蛮尽兴的。

唱歌要唱得开心快乐，就是要有一班一样神经，一样不要脸、不怕羞的死党的，呵呵！

要谢谢，

归来的工作狂虾仙，因为你，所以我们；

突然好想和我们唱歌的荭荭，久违了你的个人风格；

自认生出来就是模特儿的冰冰，果然很冷；

给我们很多首很有感觉的合唱歌曲的婷婷，赞；

认不出自己的声音的丝丝，都唱了这么多次了喔… 囧；

人妖音超凡的苏打饼，今天声音特别性感，病了都那么强；

和，原来要点英文歌给他才对的大鸟，下次知道了。这次你唱最少所以你请客，谢谢。

今天，我找到了第三张专辑的主打歌。

「遗憾」，要像今天我那样轻唱的，柔柔的。

那是，如果我会有第三张专辑的话啦…

独冥

老婆仔和两个瓜周末去了外家，我大约两周后才去载他们回来。

那天我回到家做的第一件事，是把客厅和饭厅整理了一番。

其实我自己也对这举动有点意外，嘿。 =P

把桌上，架上，地上，沙发上两个瓜随手乱放的玩具，书本，和杂七杂八的东西整理后看起来整齐多了。

自我感觉良好。真的是自己做自己爽，呵呵！ =P

希望这状况可以在两个瓜回来后保持二十四小时啦！

（没有抱太大的希望…）

因为懒得出去（宅男就是这样的喽），这几天晚餐都是自己煮。

我的厨艺实在是… 烂。 -_-"

反正是给自己吃的，还好啦，我不是那么挑剔的。

况且一个人在外吃好像很凄惨可怜的感觉… -_-

两个吵闹的小怪物不在，家里实在很清静。

我想，来着的周末我终于可以睡到太阳晒屁股了呱？

好期待。 ^_^

也很想邀约朋友来家里玩图版或卡片游戏的，但有兴趣的朋友不多。

有兴趣又有闲情和时间的朋友更少。

唉… =(

是不是应该去认识交结些年轻单身或还没有孩子的朋友呢？

“来，叔叔教你玩很有趣好玩的东西。”

好像怪叔叔那样。 囧

随兴随想 |系列|

Re-cultured

Hearing a colleague addressed another using 'dear' today, and feeling a bit odd about it, made me realised I have readjusted to my home culture.

Everyone used to be called a 'dear' when I was in England. Friends, lecturers, even friendly looking strangers. Hi dear! Dear Steve. Yes dear?

And being hugged by a lady friend was not at all strange, in fact it's nice and actually quite a warm and endearing gesture. Almost always it's the lady friend who initiated the hug though, guess I am just shy.

I remember the very first time being hugged by a lady friend, one of wifey's British friends. I was surprised, a bit embarrassed, but like it nevertheless.

Oh, I remember hugging a Malaysian friend who was also studying overseas when we chance to bump into each other in the airport, it's just so natural and we did that without even thinking. That's after we have been in England for a few years.

The hugging culture is pretty alive in my family, but I wouldn't think of hugging any lady friend here in Malaysia now. It doesn't feel... right. And I don't want to be slapped or be sued for sexual harassment! =P

And my e-mails start with 'Hello [name]' or 'Hi [name]' instead of 'Dear [name]' now. Feel as if I have become less warm and less friendly, meh!

A friend said my elder son speaks with a British accent, though that's when she last talked to him, which has been a while. I remember that too, as when we just got back, wifey had a strong British accent after all those years she worked in the hospital, and the elder son picked up that accent.

But his English has been 'Malaysianised' over the years as well. Guess we have all been re-cultured, oh well.

Running Man

Running Man is a weekly Korean variety show that started airing in July 2011. It's a game show with fixed cast members and usually with famous Korean celebrities as guests doing missions, races and games with large spoonful of hilarity and laughter.

It has been my daily dose of stress relief and unfailing entertainment since two months ago, never fail to crack me up.

Before then, Running Man was just a name a friend kept on mentioning, which piqued my interest since I like game shows (Fear Factor, Wipeout, et cetera), but not enough for me to actively look for it since it's in Korean.

I ain't too interest in things in language I don't understand. Hence K-pop is not my thing.

hilarious games aplenty

But who would have known, that a chance pen drive test, which needed large files to fill up the drive to test for defect, would make a Running Man fan out of me?

I watched the Running Man episodes copied into the pen drive out of curiosity...

... and the rest is history.

Darn poison! =P

raw egg on the forehead, totally self-inflicted, absolutely hilarious

Unlike the other game shows I have watched, Running Man has fixed cast members participating in the games every week. While it has plenty of games and races introduced throughout the years, often funny or outright ridiculous, it's the casts interaction and banter that's the real jewel of the show.

purposely answers wrongly so teammates get punished is not uncommon, hehehe!

Kudos to the producers for coming up with new games every so often. Toe wrestling, gym karaoke, wearing pants without using the hands, just to name a few. It can even make classic like 'rock, paper, scissors' an adrenaline pumping, heart rate racing game! And I think it has made it's famous hide and seek name tag ripping game a classic.

love it when all Running Man casts work together as a team

I haven't a clue about the guests, they are supposed to be famous celebrities in Korea but I am pretty ignorant in that regard. On the other hand, since Running Man fixed casts are in every episode, I get to know and love them. =)

even (sporting) guest got dragged through the mud along with the regular casts

* this is G-Dragon, I recognised the name because of a colleague nicknamed G-Snake, who is supposedly some long lost sister to G-Dragon. But that's another story...

Of the seven cast members, I like Gary and Ji-Hyo the most. Okay, Ji-Hyo more than Gary since I am a guy. =P

I like Gary for his caring and honest character, and Ji-Hyo for her fearlessness, for giving her best, and her sweet sweet smile. ^_^

sweet <3

But of course it's really when the two of them are being the lovey-dovey Monday Couple that I love most. Doesn't matter that it's just for the show, the Monday Couple chemistry is good and it gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling that makes me smile silly.

If I am a fan of Running Man, then I am totally a fanboy of the Monday Couple! =P

like!

Not knowing the Korean language, I am at the mercy of the translator. Not sure how much was lost in translation but thus far I got my laughing fix in every episode.

Fearless Ji-Hyo enjoyed the bungee jump while the male casts were too scared to do it. She really deserves her 'Ace' moniker

For two months, starting from episode 1, I religiously watched at least an episode of Running Man every night, and went into weekend warrior mode of marathon watching as many episodes as I could in the weekends.

And I have finally caught up with the current latest episode (174) at the time of writing this. It's good to have no social life. =P

more Monday Couple moment

There are good episodes and there are lousy ones, but without fail all of them made me laugh. It's my stress relief, it's my laugh of the day, it's my fix for craptastic day, temporary though it may be.

Today is the first day since I started that I no longer have a Running Man episode to watch. What am I to do now that I can only get my fix once per week?

I think I am suffering withdrawal syndrome... *twitch twitch*

baseball code really! At least that's what Gary said
