*Figurine Status Update*
Collected "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS 1/7 Scale Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Signum" from Toyntoys yesterday, on the 23rd Janaury. Another job well done from Alter. There isn't much optional parts to Signum as compared to Hayate or Vita. Just have to attach Laevatein to her right hand.
This was sculpted by Tanaka Touji. The same sculptor for Vita aswell. There's a similarity in both the striking poses; showing their awesomeness aswell as their sparkling white barrier jackets.

Either way, my plans for a custome-made display cabinets are proceeding as planned. I just met up with the contractor and discuss with him about the dimensions, materials used, lighting options, etc.
My ideal cabinet is of 1800mm in height, 800mm in width, and depth of 400mm. The only major problem is the depth, he said that at most it can go up to 350mm. So he went off with the dimensions that I gave him, and he would come back another day after he has drawn it out.

Other options that I want to include is a mirror at the back of the cabinet. Adjustable shelves. Lightings. All these are possible, but I'm still considering what kind of LED lighting do I need and want. Factors to consider are the colour, position of the bulb, should I get a strip type, or a bulb type, the angle of position, etc.. And to add on.. those really nice LED tubes costs liks $130 SGD for 30cm.

After he left, by maximizing the constraints that he gave, I decided to test it out myself.

Conclusion..
I need a minimum depth of 380mm and a preferable width of 900mm or 3 feet.

Where's all my resolution? 4 weeks more to go, for my finals. Procrastination is my no.1 enemy and attitude that I have to get rid off. Sigh.. Resolutions are so easy to make, yet so hard to stick with.

Will have to some how gather my will power and start gathering up my thoughts from all over. After all I just have to persevere for another 2 months. When March strikes, I'm free from these binding chains. Yeah, let's look forward to that.. =d

For starters, let's finish what I've started..

The study spree for mid-semester has ended, causing me to lose quite a lot of weight. My mom noticed it when I was getting new pants for the FYP exhibition. And I confirmed it using the force displacement plate in the bio-mechanics lab, measuring up to about 660 N, which is about 67kg. It was measured at 65kg at home, may be different due to the fact that I'm living on the 11th storey.

Anyway, only 4 of us attended the closing ceremony. Li Xin and Edmund had church activities and couldn't make it. None the less, better than the previous year; we achieved a bronze award for CHRIS LEE!! BE $#@!ING GRATEFUL!! =x
( Are there any SP-spies out here? )

Things to be done..
Bio-Mechanics Case Study
Bio-Materials Report
Clean Room Retest

STRESS... STRESS.!! STRESS~!!!!!!!
