Shopping for Aeroplanes

Went to the Airshow to buy aeroplanes.

 

Saw the F35 JSF. Placed an order for this. It's awesome coz they are developing the VTOL type which can take off vertically from my lawn. Don't need a runway to lift off. And it's stealth so it's gonna be good when I wanna kill Donkey. 

This is how the engine of the F35 looks like from side view.

The Apache Longbow. Also placed an order for this.

Saw the F16, but wasn't so keen coz it is normal take off. My house doesn't have the space for a runway.

The F16's asshole.

The F111 is really old and bulky... And the F35 is enough to kill Donkey. Don't needa overkill with the F111.

Ah, this is the USAF C-130. I asked the crew whether I can buy this and outfit it to be an AC-130 and he said yes. Will probably consider buying this in time to come so I can strategically eliminate many many Donkeys.

Inside some transport plane. Nah, I'd rather just use my own private jet. This doesn't look comfortable.

A refuelling jet. Probably need it when I kill Donkeys overseas with my F15 (bought 2).

Found this helicopter. It's small. But look at its armament. Nasty. Probably buy this for my kids to play with. 

And here, behold! The legendary F15!!! This is what I came for.

Since good things come in pairs, I decided to buy two F15s - one for myself and one for my future wife. So we can bomb Donkey together.

Bought a private jet for my parents.

The Predator Drone is actually much larger than I ever thought! Will fit it with Hellfire missiles to kill Donkey.

Later on, I saw a bunch of VIPs checking out the simulator for my jet. I neh give them permission to use, but nehmind lah share and care hor...

Hey there Delilah!

Saw the Russian Sukhoi, but they weren't selling any planes there. I wanted to get a Su-30 but too bad... Nehmind, my F35 and 2 X F15s are already more than enough. 

Here's a model of a Su-30 that I wanna get.

Dunno what Sukhoi fighter is this.

This kid was trying to do weights. Probably in a few years' time I can hire him to be my crewman.

Saw the poster of the Malaysian aerospace magazine 'Perajurit'. A Su-30 flying over a Malaysian town.

Apparently Starhub also is investing in the aerospace industry.

The Borg and crew of the Starship Enterterprise came to buy some jets too. I was wondering why would they wanna buy primitive aircraft when they are so freaking advanced!!!

Then came the air display. The RSAF put on an impressive show with the F16. You cans ee the F16 coming in from the right. ***Cue music Ride of the Valkyries***

They showcased some awesome sharp turns.

Then a bird thought it can challenge the F16 so it decided to face the F16 head on.

So the F16 decided to show force. Pwned the bird.

Next, the RSAF displayed its Apache. The Apache and F16 flew side by side, within metres of each other.

This guy had a Stinger missile. NAIS.

The Apache showcasing its vertical maneuver.

The F16 spiralling up into the sky. This scene was freaking awesome.

Next, the USAF's A-10 "Warthog". I was really looking forward to see this jet and was satisfied that I got to saw it. Heard so much about this jet. I really want one so I can effectively kill Donkey.

Next, the Koreans showcased their T-50 Golden Eagle. The contrails were awesome!

Try spotting the Golden Eagle in the clouds!

Next, we went to the ST Engineering exhibition. Got to hold a SAR 21A Holographic with front grip. I would really much like to see SAR21s and/or its variants in Modern Warfare 3. In MW2, they have TAR21, not SAR21. 

Holding the SAR21.

Holding some gun I can't remember the name.

Then I saw this grenade launcher. Its munitions explode in the air. Awesome technology.

Since it can detect range, I was thinking that next time, I shall buy this for my son(s) instead of a telescope or binoculars. 2-in-1: binoculars, and can kill Donkey.

What I want for Chinese New Year

After my Mighty Mouse fell into coma, I had long quarrels and heated discussions with non-Mac Believers on how I should move on.

It was really painful to see my Mighty Mouse fall and break into three pieces. Like a clumsy parent, I didn't hold my baby in my arms securely, carelessly let the small fragile baby fall down, concussing it's head and falling into coma.

[wow I spent five seconds recalling the sequence of events and a whiff of emotion swept onto me]

Yeah yeah with $80 I can buy 8 X $10 optical mice...

...but no amount of optical mouse can replace The Mighty Mouse.

If your child dies, will you settle for 8 other adopted children?

I sure hope my mum doesn't adopt some other kid just to replace me should anything happen (btw, I miss home).

So, in moving on, I was considering getting the Magic Mouse and the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Want the wireless keyboard coz the Logitech one I'm using now is very noisy and not very responsive.

Here's how the Magic Mouse look like.

The Apple Wireless Keyboard.

How they look so awesome as siblings.

...but nothing can ever replace my Mighty Mouse.

In fact, when my white Macbook had a stroke (read: crashed), I borrowed my friend's silver Macbook which is undoubtedly more advanced. But it never felt the same. I missed its relative bulkiness, feel of the touch pad and keyboard, weight, and everything else.

Maybe I'm an overly sentimental guy who treats my IT gadgets with high regard and respect, such that I fell into shock when my Mighty Mouse fell (yeah, I was stunned for like 5 seconds and didn't know what to say or do).

I borrowed a DSLR from my friend recently and she said 'Take care of my baby!' so I guess I'm not the only one who feels strongly for their electronics.

Regardless whether you're a guy or girl, do not treat your IT and electronics lightly. Hell yeah you can always buy a cheaper gadget to replace one that you lost, but how can you just do that so easily? Don't you have any respect for that which you just lost?

Haha.

It makes things more painful for me to know that the Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard costs $98 EACH, which will make it a total of $196. I could use my ang pow money to pay for it just as I bought my iPod Nano, LCD monitor, two crumplers, and other stuff in the past...

...but my friends do have a point.

Pay so much for something so advanced, but drop from table break so easily.

Can drop the cui $10 optical mouse and it wouldn't even break (but that's because it is such a simple technology)

Pain... Don't twist the knife any more. But they really do have a point.

It's very painful to see my comatose Mighty Mouse lying there on my study table.

Pain + Locked In

Eyeball damn painful. Maybe it's about time my eyesight starts to fail. But well, I can still see perfectly well, just damn painful.

Momma always say "You play so much videogames, you eyesight will turn bad very soon!". Well, I've been playing computer games and videogames since like 5 years old but HELL YEAH, MY EYESIGHT IS STILL PERFECT.

Painful ≠ bad

I can so hear Momma saying "So, justified lah!"

Yup. Justified.

=====
I have awesome apartment mates. When my room doorknob broke leaving me locked in my room, they helped me pry it open to get me out, while I nicely played Gears of War 2 in my room.

Gears of War 2 is about:

Courtesy.

Chainsawing your enemy.

Epic scenery and awesome graphics.

Intense battles. 

Teamwork.

Futile moments where you scream "OH F*CK ME!"

...and most importantly,

...getting to chainsaw your fellow man.

Gore of War

...and this is why we have xbox 360. God bless America.

Gosh I miss this game.

Need. My. Dog. To. Play. Horde. Again.

The Wizard of Oz Got Served

Watch this video with your speaker volume turned up. Good stuff!!!



Amazing.

And so are the state of affairs.

Don't trust you

You trust someone a lot. Then you realise that you've been the biggest fool all this while.

Suck thumb.

Wan2 suck thumb also cannot coz sore thumb.

I also want

Though I never played a single game from the Final Fantasy franchise, after watching this trailer, HELL YEAH I wanna play.



Anyway,

Need. To. Play. Modern Warfare 2. AGAIN.

It is not a videogame. It is a 5 hour interactive action movie in HD.

Think deep deep become angsty

There are a lot of times when we make decisions that felt so damned good and right; we can't imagine ourselves not doing something. Feel like it's a calling, that we want it so badly.

Then soon enough we realise that this isn't really what we want. That we can spend our time better and more productively towards something else.

And we wish that we could turn back time and undo that decision. But heck no.

Then today I am presented with the opportunity of opting out of something. Faced with the dilemma that this is something I've wanted to do for so long, but also have the inherent fear that I could be spending my efforts better.

Before I am presented with the same questions, I want to find the answer to it. Whether or not I make the same decision, at least I made an informed choice; knowing that the same problems will occur and that I willingly chose this path...

...so that when hard times come, I will know how to deal with it. 

In addition to that, there is one issue that has been bugging me for months now. Don't really know what to do about it.

Besides that, there's another issue that has been haunting me recently. This one I know what I needa do... It's damn disappointing.

======
Aiyah think deep deep then more stress then more angst then never study. Then go and blog and start thinking deep deep somemore. Then lead to more and more thoughts.

Just suck thumb. 

Anger Management

Poor anger management is the cause for many health complications, such as:

1. Premature balding
   
2. High blood pressure
3. Sterility
4. Pimples

...and many more.

There are many ways of countering excessive and unnecessary angst. One of the many is:

JUST DON'T ANGST. SUCK IT UP AND SHUT UP!!!

...oh shucks, that was angsty.

Angsty at being angsty. Clearly, this is a cause for concern.

Anyway, here's one of the best stories from Barney.

Cripled for life

Mighty Mouse is crippled for life now... After a few days, it succumbed to the injuries of the fall.
Don't really know what to do with the mouse. No heart to throw it away - too sad to see it go. But keep for what - just waste space. But it's freaking $80 and is damn useful while it lasted.

Dammit.
