For a complete beginner, It didn't took me long...10 mins? lol, i can't stand the heat so it was fast and i only captured a few shots. Perhaps next time...when i don't really feel lazy! ^^;

Otaku Burns Down Mother's House In Gundam Revenge!



A man has burnt down his home after his mother threw out his Gundam collection, lamenting “I’ve lost my precious Gundam, I may as well die.”

The man, a 29-year-old factory worker and Gundam collector in Hyogo prefecture, who needless to say lived in his mother’s house, became so distraught at the loss of his collection at the hands of his mother that felt his only recourse was fire.He doused his room in kerosene and ignited it with a lighter, causing a conflagration which swiftly burnt the two storey wooden house to the ground.

Apparently not quite ready to die along with his Gundam, he fled the house and escaped without injury.His mother (55), who was in the building as her son burnt it down, also escaped.He explained what happened thus: “My precious Gundam plamo were all thrown out by my mother; I thought I’d die too.” He has been arrested on charges of arson.

Mothers thoughtlessly, or spitefully, throwing out their children’s treasured possessions are the stuff of legend the world over; some even feel driven to murder in the face of such loss…

Magnitude 6.9 / 7.1 Earthquake Strikes Japan!

(CNN) -- A strong earthquake struck off the south coast of Japan on Sunday night local time, "jolting Tokyo and wide areas of eastern Japan," the country's Kyodo news agency reported.

The 7.1 earthquake hit 200 miles (320 kilometers) south-southwest of Tokyo at 7:55 p.m. (6:55 a.m. ET), the United States Geological Survey reported.

Its epicenter was 188 miles (303 kilometers) deep, the USGS said.

The Japan Meteorological Agency reported its magnitude as 6.9, Kyodo said.

There were no immediate reports of damage, and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning. [Source: CNN]

Alan Says: My Updates~*

Nothing much happened lately except for the haze caused by fire in the nearby forest. I've seen store keeper, staff and people on the street walking around with gas mask on. Looks kinna cool, as if we have S.W.A.T guarding the town. Loads of activities have been canceled due to the recent air pollution.

I'm craving for new figures now! So many cool figures to be released from this month onwards! But sadly i have to save up for AFA09, that means no more buying figures in bulk until AFA09 is over. Am expecting to get myself a dollfie in AFA09 / S'Pore if i can find one with a good price, if not, then will just do bulk loot from the expo! Can't wait for Nov to come as AFA09 is the very very 1st anime expo I'll be going to! *Excited!*

Danny Choo announced the winner of his twitter giveaway contest! Congratz to the winner! Danny took a photo and asked us to guess what time was the photo taken. This is my 1st time entering Danny's contest and my answer is [20:15 / 8.15PM] DC said if no one gets it correctly then the person with closest answer will win (Actual answer is 20:14) But because there are a few of us who guessed 20:15 (Which is the closest) and danny did not entertain any 1st come 1st win basis, so we're asked to re-guessed, but my luck did not come either during 2nd try. Was sooo dissapointed at myself for not reading danny's given additional clue which is (Quote DC: The additional clue is "one person was 1 minute off"), but at the same time was very happy because it was really fun! Awaiting for more from DC! ^^
