    Would you consider yourself an introvert? An introvert is not just someone who doesn’t talk… I think it goes deeper than that. I am most definitely one . I think by the nature of our hobby most of us shld be. We introverts prefer to have lotsa “me” time, we hate crowds, we are quiet with strangers but give us a topic we are passionate abt and…[Read more]

    • Me me me 🙂

    • Count me in in mate! Im exactly all those things you’ve said hehe I’m an introvert and embracing every bit of it! Once i discovered that word at the beginning of this year, my life just got better.

    • haha sounds totally like myself xD 🙂

    • Sounds… a bit too accurate for my liking 😛

    • LOL! @philliptan I think I am in some ways. I prefer staying at home during weekends. Spend extra time strolling in the mall all by myself on a Friday night scouting for new hobby stores, gunpla, paints, tools and other stuff related to our hobby.

      I agree with you Bro, I don’t know if how many of us gonna be as talkative here than in person.…[Read more]

    • Yeah big time introvert here. It’s not that I don’t like people. Honest. I just prefer to do my own thing quietly. I can go do all the “normal” things that the extroverts do but I just need my quiet time to relax and get right with myself. I especially enjoy hobbies that let me completely clear my mind. Gunpla used to be my method then I…[Read more]

    • This is definately me as well! Where do we sign up lol.

    Hi I’m from Malaysia and I work as an architect and my hobbies are riding a motorbike(but already retired for a while coz got married and have kid), taking photography and now building models(not only gunpla).

    • Bro @scid I find architectural models so fascinating… like mini toy houses. Always wanted to learn how to do that…

      • Models is hard to make..some use polycarbonate..some use wood and some use hard paper..when I’m studying last time I only make a few and to be honest I’m not good at it because of time 🙂 Now we usually use professional modelling and they charge us from 10k to 200K depend on the scale of the model 🙂

      • @bloodnut38 Do you remember collecting the Marvel comics in the 90’s with all those foil covers (hard to believe 20 years ago now….)? Thankfully they started those comic collection books about 10-12 years ago with the 20 to 30 issues in 1 big book, that’s the only reason my “collection” is as big as it is, lol!

        • LOL, yeah, i still have most of them, hard to forget the really tacky 90’s costumes.

          • @Phillip : yeah, mining is an interesting industry. It’s an open cut mining though, not underground. I’ve travelled around Australia for work before but now settle to work for one company look after 5 sites.

    • So my first name is Jetlee, and the one in the picture is my two year old (turning three this Dec).

      • Oh and shout out to @Phillip, he was one of the first of the few that I met in the community. And first to welcome me here too! ^_^

        • Bro @jecht-kian Jetlee… thks for the interesting story abt your life… I used to run a restaurant and I know how fun it can be! Quick qtn.. were you named after Jet Li?

          • @Phillip kind of. My mom was fascinated with jets as I recalled and my dad’s name is Harly. The idea was to take the jet and my dad’s name together. Could have been jetly but they found out there was the martial artist jet li by the time I was born on 1989.
            Oh and this was at the Philippines so yeah. They just named me that way.

    yoo~!.anyone here playing EXVS (gundam extreme vs) ?

    • Never heard of it sorry, what kind of game is it? My gaming knowledge is pretty much limited to Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, Monster Hunter, Pokemon and Final Fantasy :P.

    • I wish we would get more Gundam games here in the US. As much as I love the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games, there are plenty more out there that look like fun, especially some of those SD ones.
