Some more random pictures




















My nephew and niece gave a demonstration on how much they love teletubbies...maybe not too fond of twinkie winkie















I have yet to post pictures of the trip but this is the scoobie doo minivan we were using..




















That's hoover dam from the air I took..whenever I fly from Denver to OC on united. It's nice to see the same place on the ground and from the air. That's panaromic shot of hoover dam too..Megratron is hiding underneath the dam.
















Strange men caressing mamba2...:(

















Some UCI chick rear ended my car but managed to repaint the scuffs

















Mamba2 has another companion in the office...

Disappointment

Usually the movies that I highly anticipate fail to deliver and the ones I walked into the theater without even knowing whats the story is about are the ones that pleasantly surprise me...Lesson in life; always lower your expectations .

Anyhow, Transformers was a waste of time I think. There was too much of idle human chats and little robot action. Whatever happened to the complex, mind-boggling and twisted Transformer storylines of robots killing each other, showing greed and manipulation for leadership, etc..

My secret love for Transformers

I've yet to post some pictures of my family vacation. I will do so when I get some time.

However, Transformers the movie is out and as much as I want to pretend to be a matured adult, I can't wait to watch it. As a kid, Transformer was appealing to me as it was the only one cartoon where the good guys did lose once in a while. For some warped reasons, I always supported the underdogs and bad guys..hehe. In Transformers, the good guys occasionally died..as much as it was touching, I felt fulfilled.

I couldn't afford the cool transformer toy as a kid and after scrounging up all my money, I got two (1 crane and 1 excavator) out of the 5 of the green constructicons. I bought them months apart..one of the them made up the head and the other the right shoulder of the big robot once they all merge. I spent numerous hours playing with the head and shoulders imagining how tall and big my combined transformers will look one day if I got the rest of the three body parts. Besides those two, one of my wealthier friends gave me a broken star scream and that was the jewel of my collection. Eventually I sold the excavator to a friend to alleviate my dire financial situation (probably used the money to buy chemicals to make a rocket) and I think I still have the crane somewhere at home in Singapore. Transformers are awesome...its more than meets the eye for sure.
