most projects when i looked back - i asked myself if i willing to go thru it again? the answer is an absolute NO. few MOC's ( stands for My Own Creation ) where you build original design using Lego bricks - dismantled to give way for new space. Put it simply, it doesnt stand thru my constant re-examination and how it stands along with the current collection.  By far, the Ghostbusters Proton Pack took a huge portion of my time ( sleepless night and day ) and effort to realize it. Mind you, alot of bricks are destroyed, mangled too - in the name of trial and error. Numerous set pieces build and taken apart again, drawings produced and what not - mind you all these pieces are super-glued.   The fucking Delorean took me three times to get the FORM right. Getting the form right is a sneaky subliminal process, one day it look good, when you keep it away and re-look it again next week, it looks off - so there will be a process of chipping away those bricks to get the curve, angles and deg

 

“Dan janganlah engkau melupakan bahagianmu (keperluan dan bekalanmu) dari dunia; dan berbuat baiklah (kepada hamba-hamba ALLAH) sebagaimana ALLAH berbuat baik kepadamu (dengan pemberian nikmat-NYA yang melimpah-limpah ); dan janganlah engkau melakukan kerosakan di muka bumi; sesungguhnya ALLAH tidak suka kepada orang-orang yang berbuat kerosakan.”                                                                                                                                    (Surah Al-Qasas 28:77)

bloody hell, while the media filling themselves with numerous dumb fucking antics, ridiculous flip flopping regulations and such - we have real people determined to go all out to get themselves Covid vaccines.  Certainly not an easy journey as it was raining and have to go through multiple river rapids to reach the vaccination centre, they traveled via boat to the Belaga Health Clinic to get their first jab - Lian Jubin, 86, and 87-year-old Apong Salleh's determined to get themselves inoculated. These two octogenarian ( a person who is between 80 and 89 years old ) deserves my respect.  for once, the media have eyes to report something that is real. its about time, health officials got to do something to ensure all Malaysians get their Covid jab.

Meet Mohammad Gulab. For days, Gulab and the other villagers protected an injured Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell from the notorious Taliban militants—even in the face death threats. They considered it their duty under Pashtunwali , a 2000 year old tribal honor code requiring a tribe to undertake the responsibility of safeguarding an individual against his enemies and protecting him at all costs. Saving Luttrell was an extraordinary act of courage, and it destroyed Gulab's life.  The Taliban put him on a kill list, so he couldn't return to his village.
