shitfest

i kinda hate wedding reception, i found it to be a measuring dick arena.

wedding is a place where you meet that person you have no bussiness with for the last few years, and it usually turns into some petty competition.

are you single? "when will you get a girl/boyfriend?"

oh somehow you do have a significant other, "when will you get married?"

oh, you're married? no child? they'll ask you about the first, already have a child? how about second? already have three children? where do they go to school? state or private? good or bad? cheap or expensive?

i'm sick of it really, it always ends up as a competition.

and honestly i don't see the point of inviting hundreds of people, let alone thousands.

come on, most of those marriage end up in a dumpster, yes they still married, but shitfest happened, cheating here and there.

and of course, i'm a dude.

in an equal society, and i mean, truly equal society, the ladies - assuming we're all mainstream, you know, heterosexual - would have no problem having a dude who earn less - lots of people do see annual earning as some measurements - as long as they're happy.

in an utopian society in my dream, a great women would have no problem having a normal dude, and a dude would not feel insecure being stay at home dad.

but in reality, those are not happening, not in my lifetime here in Indonesia.

i mean, rather than spending my already small earning to a person in exchange of love, i'd rather spend it to finance my lifesize armored batman.

but then again, i'm single, jaded, cynical, and not in love.

Leader Class Optimus Prime Project

sebenarnya saya ini suka ngapa2in, cuma kan ngapa2in itu butuh uang dan waktu, dan dulu saya punya waktu, tapi ndak ada uang. nah, kali ini ada lah sedikit waktu dan sedikit uang, maka dari itu saya mau bikin proyek asik yang melibatkan sebuah beautiful piece of (toy) engineering: Leader Class Optimus Prime dari Revenge of The Fallen.

saya mengakui kalo ROTF itu tai ayam, kalau disuruh harus mengurutkan film transformers, urutannya adalah 3-1-4-2. tapi kadang tai ayam memberikan anugrah tertentu, ya mainan ini.

sebagai referensi saja, optimus prime itu aslinya truk kotak

trus mainannya dulu tuh gini

Gini2 sekarang barang mahal nih.

trus kalau ndak salah 2005 diumumin live action Transformers, dan sekitar tahun 2006 - inget banget, lagi liburan di Malaysia, pertama tahu gimana bentuk optimus itu dari Animonster-nya Malaysia, Gempak - baru di reveal design Optimus buat film.

Still the best Optimus the world ever seen, Age of Extinction mah apaan.

it was mind bogling how intricate the design was - and still is - part mobil mana ke mana? bikin mainannya gimana? ga mungkin ah bisa dibikin mainannya.

ya bener, Leader Class Optimus Prime dari tahun 2007 is shit

it was a shitfest.

what the fuck was that? but i bought it anyway, because optimus prime, and i never thought they would be able to replicate the movie's aesthetics without compromising the transformations.

but good god how wrong i was, i don't know what hasbro/takara's engineers are smoking there, but holy fucking shit they did it.

Beautiful.

not only they nailed the robot mode, they probably went through hell to make sure not only the robot mode is accurate, but the car mode as well. i mean, that robot, could transform to this!

*jizzed*

don't believe me? here's a video a dude transforming it

this figure is still the most prized item in my collection, the only problem is the paintjob is not that accurate. takara did release better painted version of this mold, but the cheapest one now worth Rp 4 million, that shit's crazy, my phone is cheaper than that.

but me being me, this is the project, i will try to custom this.

to this

i just needs three gundam marker, red, blue, silver, and some masking tape.

i already have some reference pictures

all in all i only have to spend 150k rupiah for those equipments, compared to 5million i need to spent to buy APS 01U Optimus Prime, it's a steal.

but still, after reading all transformers forum, i kinda need a lot of things. gonna list it here.

- Articulated hand

- Battle Axe and Shield Set

- Sword Set

- Hook Set

- Jetwing Add On FWI-04.

- and The Trailer.

i need the jet the most. cmon, it's a fucking Optimus Prime with a Jetpack

i mean, i could replicat this scene

all in all, wait for me, hopefully i ndak males.
