Mobile Suit Gundam UNICORN

Waiting patiently for the novel to come out in english(a long wait i guess). The designs of Unicorn Gundam as well as the NZ-666 Kshatriya really rocks.

List of Character

Turn A Gundam Impressions

Image from Gundam Base.Side 1. Cant say i dislike the design, but hey, buying something different is not bad. Cant wait to for it next month. If you are interested in designs, maybe you should try visiting Syd Mead website. I have put the link in "My Links". As we all should know that he is the designer for this unique gundam, which have created a stir among gundam fans. Some really like the design, some really hate it down to the core. When it was mention that Turn A Gundam will be th 100th MG, it was like, (what my home town used to say when something big was happening) the sky was going to fall. As i said earlier, i don dislike the gundam, it's just unique. it's a Syd Mead.
You guys should watch the anime. I cant wait to get my hand on the cow miniature figure. lol. ^_^

Gundam MK.V

Don't really know much about this mobile suit. As far as i know, it is featured in Gundam Sentinel. This kit comes from Core-Works of Korea. Hope that some day, Bandai will produce this kit, like they did for Hi-Nu Gundam.

As you can see, the details are superb. Clearly the guys in Core-Works of Korea did a great job on making it.

Nu Gundam

This is my Nu Gundam. More picture will be uploaded. Just bought it this year. Really love the design especially the fin funnels. I'm not sure why i didn't bought this earlier. The Nu gundam is bigger in size then the Hi Nu Gundam. Well, it should be coz its counterpart is the Sazabi which is even more bigger.

Crossbone X1 Fullcloth

This is one my favourite mobile suit in the UC era. As a matter of fact, i got two of those. I haven't finished reading the whole manga, which is difficult to find here in Malaysia.

Turn A Gundam: A Brief Overview

While waiting for the Turn A Gundam to makes its debut in August, i tried to remember back the anime...

The story as follows

"It is the far future, in the year 2345 of a new calendar - well over two thousand years, that is, after the dawn of the space age. After centuries of peace, the people of Earth have lost the technology they once possessed and forgotten that they once traveled in space. But a lost tribe of lunar settlers, the Moonrace, have retained the scientific arts... and now they regard their mother planet with envious eyes.

Hoping to return to their ancestral home, the Moonrace contact Earth's feudal lords and attempt to negotiate the transfer of a chunk of the planet's territory. But soon, unable to make a deal with Earth's rulers, the Moonrace decide to seize the land they desire by force. Anticipating an extraterrestrial invasion, Earth's feudal lords organize militias armed with cars and biplanes to do battle with the Moonrace's army of giant two-legged war machines.

Caught in the middle of this war of the worlds is a youth named Loran Cehack, who finds a mysterious artifact - a relic of Earth's forgotten space age - entombed in stone. Will this ancient mobile suit enable Loran to avert the conflict and make peace between Earth and moon?"

For those who have not watch it, i recommend that you watch it. I will not rank it. ^^

Yassai Mossai

This is got to be my favorite Japanese folk's dance. I first knew about it in a Japanese drama, Kisarazu Cat's Eyes. Its about 5 guys, living their lives in a Town called Kisarazu. It's a comedy drama, and people who loves comedy should watch it. Anyway, in one of the episodes, the Yassai Mossai was shown. i really like it very much

Gisele Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen is my favourite supermodel. She is really a beauty. Gisele Caroline Nonnenmacher Bündchen was born on July 20, 1980. Nicknamed "Gise", "The Body", or "The Midas Queen". She is a German-Brazilian supermodel who has been acclaimed as the most famous and the highest-paid model in the world. Since her introduction onto the fashion scene in the '90s she has appeared in countless billboards and magazine covers, as well as numerous TV and print ads. Bündchen is currently the face of more than 20 brands from different countries such as United States, Russia, Brazil, Italy, France, Mexico, Spain, Turkey, South Korea, Germany and Switzerland. According to Forbes, she made $33 million on 2006, adding to her estimated $150 million fortune. She currently holds Guinness World Records as the "world's richest supermodel".

MG Destiny

Gunota says that MG Destiny will be the 101th gundam. That be a great news for Seed Destiny fans. I was hoping for Bandai to produce Destiny into the MG line. My MG Strike Freedom feels very lonely at the moment. Time to budget my finance. I'm also waiting for the Turn A Gundam to hit the shelves next month.

iPhone problems

Security flaws - While the iPhone is actual more secure than most cell phones; with the ability to download security patches through iTunes, Errata Security still found some critical chinks in the armor. There’s a “heap overflow” bug in the Safari browser that translates into a malicious website can hack into your system even if you just visit it for a second.

Also at issue is a “data seepage” bug that makes info transfered over client applications through Wi-Fi potentially public and a Bluetooth “denial of service” bug.

Installing Windows isn’t going to happen - The iPhone doesn’t support the 64 bit versions of Windows XP or Vista; facts Apple neglected to point out in their system requirements.
