The Birthday Present.

No flowers, no diamonds, no expensive gift this year for my girlfriend on her birthday. Cuz she already have all those before. So I need to do something extra special to give her the surprise. Also becuz I am broke. =P This is the 3rd month in the anniversary-christmas-birthday-valentine-combo. I planned to make this clay model of a character from one of her favourite anime. So last month I bought a packet of DAS modeling clay from Art Friend. But only started making the model last week. =p Afterall, it wasn't that difficult to model a lump of clay. Wahahaha.

Update: Added this picture of the clay used, cuz a friend of mine (you-know-who-you-are) wants to make some lovely clay ornaments for his girlfriend as V-Day gifts)!


Anyway, below is a pictures of the model. The front before painting,


The back, notice the tail? ;Op


After painting the model,


The painted model with the screenshot from the character in anime. I used it as a reference for modeling.


And finally, my dear with the finished product!


Eh, so hopefully by now, you know what is the character I made for her? Or are you thinking, "What this that lump of black black thing?" -faints-

If you do watch anime or read manga, you should seen it before bah. Heh heh. Its Mokona Modoki from xxxHOLiC.

From the manga,


and anime,


Now that you know what it is, you must probably also be thinking, "Why do you actually waste your time to do it, when you can easily buy the figurines or plush Mokona, which look and feel much nicer?". By the way, there is also the white Mokona from the Tsubasa Chronicles.


Well, the reason is I made it with my heart and hands. Sincere enough or not? Heh heh.

We had celebration together with some friends at Ramen Ramen. I had recommended it in a post last year. They have a new outlet at the Atrium beside Plaza Singapura. The ramen was still delicious, but the side orders were only so-so.

My cutie pie with the Ramen Ramen menu,


Happy Birthday dear! Hope Mokona will keep you happy and bring you good luck this year! Time to crack my brain on the gift for the final month of the combo. 哎呦哎呦喔喔!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
