Haha LOL We've just sold an item ob eBay for $70 not what the Kiamsiap Boss wanted. So what should we do? Let it go for $70 or forget about it? Will have to check with the Kiamsiap Boss tomorrow, I'm home now so will have to wait till tomorrow.
Speaking of which there's lots of items listed on eBay that are ending tomorrow so it would be interesting to see who's interested. At the moment not very many bidders though but when the time draws nearer it might be a different story. Let's wait and see.

BDU pants
For law enforcers, militants or just plain outdoor enthusiasts then you should know about BDU pants. BDU pants have been part of the US military for years and are also adopted worldwide.
They’re not only durable and comfortable but right now you can buy them at very good prices at LAPoliceGear.com where you can find all your favorite BDUs.
Grrr...
Why is it that every time we put an item up for sale on eBay the buyers have to come from interstate? We were hoping we don't have to organize transportation and just have the buyers pick up the items from us saving us time and hassle.
But it was not to be, so far the only inquiries we're getting are from interstate; one from Queensland and the other from NSW I think. It would help if they told us their suburbs cause the courier company would want to know that before giving a quote. Grrr..

Mr. Fixit
Came into work this morning and found the email not working. What's going on? Rang up Mrs Kiamsiap Boss and found out she stuffed it up! Stewpig mutherfarker! Leave our email account alone wiil ya?
Apparently she wanted to find out if we had any work coming thru the email like normal but she did it at home. She didn't know the password so she rang up the service provider who gave her a temporary password to log in and to change to a new password. Well did she do it? Nope, everything has to be left for me to clean up. I'm Mr Fixit!

Funny t-shirts
My favorite clothing is actually my jeans and t-shirts so suffice to say I buy lots of t-shirts whenever there’s a sale on.
I particularly like those funny t-shirts; you know the ones that have funny drawings with great phrases like ‘Shit Happens’ and stuff like that? Well now I’ve found a website that sells all these funny t-shirts and I’m like a kid in a candy store!
Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 10, Part 2: The skirting
I'm starting work on the skirting of the ship. This part is actually quite tricky needing to get worn off peeled off paint look. I don't know if I can do it...
But first I needed a base for it using Tamiya's AS-16 gray on top as well as bottom since parts of the bottom will be exposed as well.
Then I had to mask the open areas so that when I spray the next color of hull red on it will not get into the bottom part of the skirting.
This is the skirting after I had sprayed with Mr. Hobby's 29 hull red color. I have removed the masking tapes, the middle part will be hidden later so it doesn't matter if it has bits of gray and red on it.
To make the worn peeled paint effect I scratched the surface with sand paper but I think I got carried away a bit and went overboard. There's a lot of deep ugly scratches on it. I think I'll have to redo this...

Start savings from small
The best lesson parents can teach their children is to know the value of money and how to save and not waste it. At a very young tender age you should open some kind of savings accounts for your children and make it a habit for them to put a bit of their allowances into the accounts to watch their savings grow. Before you know it they’ll have their own little nest eggs tucked away for rainy days.
Tricycle
Aww..isn't that the cutest? Little cutie's tricycle is chained to the bicycle stand together with the parent's bike. This way no thief's going to steal your little tricycle now isn't it?
Sorry for the bad quality picture but this photo was taken with Motorola V3 camera phone so the quality is never going to be perfect. I wouldn't mind the 5 mega-pixel camera phone they selling though!

PC and video games
One of the nephews is having his birthday next weekend. He’s fifteen and I can’t decide what to give him.

I need some help in this department and Buy.com is just the life saver I need, they have all the latest games available in all platforms. Go check them out today.

Roach
This is the cockroach I captured last night in the bathroom. The weather's been exceptionally warm this year which triggers a boom in cockroach population. We see cockroaches on a daily basis in and outside the house.
So what do I do when I catch one? I leave it in the container until it dies of starvation! Muahahahahahahaha..that's for scaring my wife in the bathroom.

Finding Baby Clothes
The other day while shopping for some Baby Clothes at the department store I couldn’t help but noticing they don’t have very much in term of range.
And the ones that are available all pretty much look similar when you compare one to the other. There has to be a better way of looking for nice kids’ clothing and SandboxCouture.com is the place for good quality children’s wears.
Another item for sale
Here's another item my Kiamsiap Boss made me sell on eBay; showroom garment display rack. It's listed online now and so far only 1 inquiry all the way from Queensland!
He only wants $100 for it, more if he could but I doubt if it gets there. Good price though, it can extend to 25 meters long. You just secure the whole structure to the wall and floor. You want it?

Alcohol Rehab
We all enjoy the occasion drinks every now and then during social events or when we’re relaxing at home. In fact a little bit of alcohol can be good for all of us as long as we drink in moderation.
Sadly there are people in the community who can get abused by alcohol and drink to excess causing violence in their homes. There are help out there; if you or a loved one has a drinking problem then alcohol rehab can help.

*Evil Laugh*
I was on my way to work the other day when I saw this trailer in front of me. All the way down the freeway and off again with the rubbish dropping along the way.
It is a requirement by law to secure your load when carrying loads of any kind, especially rubbish. Should I send this photo to the police so he can get a summon? *evil laugh*

Buying baby gifts
When it comes to Baby Gifts I am totally clueless. A few friends are expecting these coming months and I have to start buying some gifts for them.
Lucky for me SandBoxCouture.com helps me big time with their endless supply of kids wears ranging from infant to toddler. So now I’m all set for whatever baby showers they’re going to invite me to!

Gridmesh for sale
My Kiamsiap Boss at work is trying to get rid of some of the fictures and fittings he has from his old shop and it includes 4 grid meshes that you can hang on the wall.
There are 4 of them made of steel covered with plastic. Just screw 4 screws onto the wall to hang them and then you can display your garments on them. Who wants to buy?

Grow Lights
Being a gardening enthusiast I’m thinking of venturing into hydroponics now. This way I can grow my favorite plants without the need for soil like tomatoes.
I do need to set up the whole system; a garage is ideal, then all the structures needed and most importantly grow lights to grow the plants. You can find all the growing lights needs at AccessDiscounts.us and get your hydroponics growing.

Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 10, Part 1: More work on the undercarriage.
Moving along to Step 10 sees me continuing with the undercarriage of the ship. There's so much to do here; painting gluing, more painting and gluing...
Looks like this section is going to take as much time as the main hull but I managed to get through a lot over the weekend. That's what I like about FineMolds, they pay much attention to details.
I had to paint these 2 semi circle wheels that go on the sides of the undercarriage. Don't know what they're called but an overall color of Tamiya's XF-53 Neutral Gray followed by a mixture of Tamiya's XF-64 and XF-49 to finish off the pieces.
The wheels are then glued to the sides of the undercarriage which also had Tamiya's XF-65 Gield Gray painted to some parts of it. That's just half the job done, more to come...

New baby on the way
Looks like there's going to be an addition to the clan soon, just heard from mum that big sister is expecting another baby this coming spring. Hopefully it will be a girl this time, she's already had three boys!
That reminded me that I better start looking for baby clothes to give as presents. SandboxCouture.com is the place to go for all the clothes you need for the little people. I've been buying from them for ages, they're great!

Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 9: Starting on the undercarriage.
Finally I have finish the main hull so can move on to Step 9 where I can start working on building the undercarriage of the ship. If you think the main hull was too much work then you haven't seen the undercarriage yet!
There are more detailed parts involved with the undercarriage. Most of them have to be painted with different colors and then meticulously glued together. To start off I gave the whole piece a once over Tamiya's AS-16 Gray then I painted certain areas with Tamiya's XF-63 German Gray.
This makes the parts stand out as part of the engine. It looks easy but it's actually very time consuming and you need a steady eyes and hand to carefully paint only the areas you want, some areas are deep inside amongst all the other pieces...

Baby Gifts
I just heard news that one of the cousins has given birth to a healthy baby girl again. Looks like its time to go shopping for more baby gifts like the usual baby clothes, toys and blankets.
Babies grow out of their clothes so quick that you have to keep buying them new clothes because they out wear their tiny clothes faster than you can say gaga!
Hydro Dog
Yesterday outside ALDI we saw the cutest trailer we've ever saw. It's ingenious what some people can come up with for their business, kudos to them!
Check out the Hydro Dog! It's a portable dog bath which can be driven from one client to another giving all the doggies a refreshing bubble bath saving the owners the time and effort of bathing their own dogs.
This kind of business is very common here but I just like the way they make the trailer into a big blue dog! So needless to say its eye catching and so will the business.

Personalized Greeting Cards
Sending greeting cards to friends and family is a common thing in our daily lives however I’m sure we all like to have our own special customized greeting cards instead of using the same old common greeting cards that everybody buys in the shops. That’s when Custom Photo Cards come in; these are special greeting cards that you can customize yourself to make it more personal. You can use your own photos and design the layout and wordings on the cards as well.

Custom Photo Cards are not just limited to the holidays; you can also use them when sending out invitations to a wedding, party, baby shower and anniversary. Businesses can also use them as part of their personal stationeries to send out to their clients with the company’s logo on the cards. There are lots of ways to use these very flexible greeting cards, all you need is imagination.

Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 8: The finishing touch to the main hull.
Step 8 is basically a finishing step for the main hull which I've been working for the longest time but I'm happy to know that I've come a milestone in this project.
There's not much needed to be done in this step; basically putting the under covers of the main hull and attaching hte glass canopy of the cockpit which will finish off the main hull.
Much care is needed for gluing the clear plastic on because the fume from the glue can fog it like what happened with my Jango Fett's Slave 1. This time I used glue sparingly; just a bit on the top and bottom.
Under the main hull there are 3 panels to be installed. The smallest piece is painted gray like the color of the main hull but the bottom 2 panels are painted gray green like the contrasting camouflage of the main hull. They're pretty straight forward job. Next the skirting...

Bathroom makeover
Our bathroom is kind of old so it’s time for a complete makeover. We’re thinking of replacing everything including the bathroom vanities with brand new stylish modern ones we saw at DecorPlanet.com. DecorPlanet.com has some of the best looking bathroom vanities around. Of course we’ll be looking for some new bathtub and shower to go with it too, maybe even a spa!
Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 7: The Main Hull Part 4: Completing the hull.
Its been a long time coming but I've finally finished working on the main hull. All that was left for me to do to complete the hull was to attach the guns and the cockpit to the hull.
The guns had to be painted gray and black before I attach them, there's an axle inside so the 2 guns can swivel up and down. The cockpit which was completed earlier is fixed into the main hull and held with glue. Next up step 8: Under the main hull.

Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 7: The Main Hull Part 3: Set Back
I had a set back with my model; the colors I chose for the main hull turned out to be not as I expected and I wasn't all happy with the result I got after painting it.
The apple green paint I got from the hardware store was too green and rough on the hull, I didn't mind the camouflage contrast on it but the dark green on the side fenders run when I spray it!
So I decided to start again meaning I had to get rid of the paint first. I used Easy Off Oven Cleaner which works like a charm. Just spray on, leave overnight in zip-lock bag and washes off.
I then lightly sand the model down, re-glue the 2 halves and filled up the seam with Tamiya model putty before giving it another sanding just to get rid of excess putty and to smooth the seam over.
This time I used Tamiya AS-16 gray spray for the main hull and I got to say it looks so much better than that horrible green I used previously. What was I thinking?!
When the paint dries I masked the model with masking tapes and liquid mask. I've learned from previous attempt to apply more liquid mask rather than less because it doesn't peel off if it's applied too thinly.
I used the Tamiya AS-29 gray green spray for the contrasting camouflage. The 2 colors just go well with each other don't you think? After that I proceed to color in the other colors.
This is the end result; it's so much better than the previous attempt. I used the 1.5 mm micron masking tape I bought from Japan to mask the cockpit to paint in the flat black and the result is spectacular. The micron mask works a charm, they should sell them here.

Baby presents
This year has been a busy year for my brothers and sisters-in-laws. There have been a few babies born in the spate of a few months meaning we’re busy buying baby presents for their showers and birthdays. So what do you buy for babies? Just to make it easier we always buy them baby clothes which will always come in handy. Moreover they can hand them down to the next babies when they grow out of them.
Floaty
Remember a few days ago when one of my fish jumped out of the fish tank? Well I managed to get to it on time and put it back into the water and it swam away happily.
Then this morning I saw a dead fish floating in the tank. I can't be sure if it was the same fish that jumped out the other day, if it was then it means it suffered internal injuries and died a few days later. I did find bruises on its body though so it does appeared so.

Insuring my future
When I was young and foolish I thought I was invincible. I never wanted to plan for the future or about getting a life insurance.
Now that I’m a bit older and wiser my way of thinking has matured and I realize that life is full of uncertainties. We never know what is going to happen to us so it always pays to get a life insurance while we can still afford to and have a peace of mind.
Building Boba Fett's Slave 1 Step 7: The Main Hull Part 2
After the base paint of apple green I chose for the main hull I had to mask all the areas of the hull so that I can continue to color in the different parts with other colors.
Masking tapes are always useful but I can't do without liquid mask; simply apply where you don't want to get paint on and it will dry to a rubbery substance that you can peel of later. Now it's ready for other colors...

Insure your health before you travel
I love traveling; I’ll be overjoyed with anticipation about the places I’ll be visiting. It never fails to amaze me when I travel.
As a seasoned traveler I know too well the importance of organization before the trip like accommodation, airline tickets and travel health insurance which is of the utmost importance because you don’t want to be stuck in a strange country sick or God forbids run into an accident. So next times you travel make sure you get your travel health insurance in order.
Stupid fish
My fish tank has coverings on top so the fish can't jump out and also to keep dust and other stuff from getting into the tank. However the four corners of the tank has triangular openings and I feed them at one of these openings.
So every morning before I feed them they would get very excited when they see me in the room. They would all fight for the best spot at the opening anticipating the food I will give them. You can hear splashing of water and the floor would get wet from the water they spit out!
The other day when I came into the room they were at it again. When I finally went to feed them I saw one of them on the floor! One of them had been so excited it leaped out of the tank and onto the floor. At first I thought it was dead but then I saw it moved so I picked it up and threw it back into the tank and it just swam away, no injury could be seen and it seems okay. I guess I got there just in time, any longer and it would have died! Stupid fish.
