Coming from Singapore, New York is both the most west and the most east Ive travelled, by virtue of having travelled both directions before.

Surprised at the naming symmetry in my North and South bounds

Farthest north I’ve been: Inverness, Scotland
Farthest south: Invercargill, New Zealand
Farthest east: New York
Farthest west: New York

New York is the direct opposite timezone from me, and Ive been there both travelling west and east (once on a literal around the world in 5 days business trip)

Red Green and Blue. 58 years of Lupin the Third. One of my top 3 favourite anime franchises. Every installment like catching up with old friends, and what a delightful gang of misfits to follow over the decades.

Between the bombastic display of military hardware, a singalong musical concert with all your nostalgic favourites, and an optimistic theme, it is hard not to get emotional and swept up in patriotic fervour. Good parade this year! Happy 60th birthday to Singapore, to many more years ahead

Dying under the boiling sun, waiting for the SG60 Singapore National Day Parade to start

20 years ago to this date, Transformers Cybertron was still airing when I made this AMV music edit in Windows Movie Maker and uploaded it to animemusicvideos dot org.

Still proud of "Burning Cybertron Overdrive" after all these years.

Soundwave: Robot in Disguise

#Transformers

It is definitely an experience, I've never handled a Transformer that had quite that much premium feel to it, while not compromising on an interesting transformation. Hope you enjoy it as well!

It's the year of Soundwave apparently

It's a really interesting build!

Assemble, Assemble!

Starring: Lego Soundwave

Very fun and surprising build which left me guessing where it was going until the parts started to coalesce. The transformation impresses too, the collapsing shin mechanism simultaneously a work of work and engineering marvel.

Bag 2 of Lego Soundwave gives us Ravage. Definitely a divergence from his G1 Toy. Transformation is very Siege like, but it helps give him alot more volume than his flat G1 panther mode.

Starring my build of Lego Soundwave. I'm only at Bag 1, and already Im gobsmacked by how good G1 Laserbeak is recreated in Lego

They don't want you to know that getting to the moon is so easy that any ol' British garage inventor can just pop over on a fine weekend for some biscuits and cheese

The best thing (and debatably the only good thing) to come out of Kiss Players

Recent movie release made me think of Fantastic Four pastiches. It's very common to find evil variants of the four (Planetary, Hank Henshaw in DC). But my favourite was this short parody in the old Star Wars Tales Dark Horse anthology, with a deliciously ironic fate for our hero analogues.

These are just modern Toynami figures, Toynami loves recreating the classic packaging for their range. I had their 1/100 Super Valk from more than a decade ago, and I was not enamoured with the build to say the least.

Choose chaos and violence, pronounce it like some Japanese romanization. Ho-Mah-Geh.
