Forewarned: Two stories of sugar overload. :p

For some of you who have started reading my blog since its inception may remember my first profile avatar was actually an image of Gundam RX-78. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that I'm a fan of Gundam.

In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Gundam, Bandai has built a life-size 18 metres tall RX-78-2 at Odaiba, Tokyo! That is like a dream come true! I've also watched the youtube video where the life-size statue actually moved! When I saw the the head of Gundam turned, I was so moved that I can feel my eyes were wet. I probably will be overcome by emotion when I'm there and see it moved right before my eyes. No, I'm not going to wet my pants!

I had planned to visit my Gundam Mecca next year then I learnt from a fellow fan that the statue will only be there for 2 months - until end of August only! After that, it'll no longer be there! How can?! As my son's school has started and my chauffeur duty has resumed, it was difficult for me to just pack up and fly to Tokyo. A friend of mine pointed out that 6 July (Monday) will be a school holiday as Youth Day is on a Sunday this year. I actually can take a flight on Friday night and come back Singapore on Monday. After getting approval from my dear wife, the trip was planned and I was going to Tokyo.

Then my wife caught a cold and fell sick on Tuesday.

18 metre Gundam against my 1.6 metre wife... Gundam never stood a chance. I've decided to stay and look after my wife. :)

I've been doing something to irritate my wife recently. So by her royal decree, if I were to repeat it and for each time I irritate her, I was suppose to grant her a wish.

A few days later, when I totally stop irritating her, she complained, "Why you so stingy one, don't even want to give me one wish..."

I looked at her and said, "You don't need to get a wish from me this way... Whatever you wish, I'll give it to you..."

*The audience goes awwwwwww.......*

Yeap, Cobalt Paladin is made of sugar and spice and all things nice...

Toothache yet? :p
