Build 3.2 Gundam Aegis SD

TWO not one disasters in one day. I reckon that's like is the National maximum daily limit a man can tolerate. Firstly I strained the tendons of my left triceps at the gym,and here's the ironic bit, working my biceps. This means I have to lay off involving my arms for the next 1-2 weeks, so it will be strictly back and legs.

Second natural disaster is the claw bit of the Aegis broke. Devasted like this guy here.

I had to sticky tape the broken bits or it might go missing, which will further compound my devastation.

My only superglue has dried up and its harder than both mine and Mr.P's biceps combined. So unable to glue that bit tonight.

Anyways, second paint job completed. No more pink visible bits compared to my first build update.

Same for the back. Now its time to dismantle Aegis and paint him silver.

That's it for today. Need to ice my arm.

Comments : Good workout especially dumbbell press. Elbow directly below hands. Not locking out. Only had 30minute to workout so didnt include calf raises. such a shame. my weights have dropped after doing dumbbell press. looks like my technique and form is improving because it was so much harder to do it. nice.

Review 0.5 Zentel tablets

Worm infestation. You think you may not have it but in fact you probably don't. I, on the other hand, have snake infestation. Who cares if you have worms or snakes, as long as you keep it in your pants and dont tell anyone about it... that's alright with me. When I saw the packaging of these tablets, it was so cute that I just had to get it. Yea... I dont think you can buy this medicine in Australia, I got it from one of those asian countries... think it was called Disneyland?

Look at that happy family... if that picture was printed on a T-shirt , I'd wear it in a heartbeat.

Anyways, not important where I got it from. The important thing is that before I proceed here is the disclaimer. 'All medications can be fatal unless taken as directed by your local registered medical practitioner'. So not wanting to die before I finished building my Gundam Astray Blue Frame MG, I sought professional medical advice from my doctor, Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil has been my family doctor ever since I was a little boy. Thuggish looking kinda doctor... I didn't think health professionals were into bodybuilding. Anyways let me repeat this again, I am not in a position to give people an individual diagnosis or medical advice. Your doctor or pharmacist is the best person to give you the individual advice you need before ingesting strange and exotic medicines.

So here went my doctor's appointment.

Jaystin : 'Good day, Dr. Phil'

Dr. Phil : 'Oh, Jaystin! What brings you to my clinic this fine Friday morning?'

Jaystin : 'I think I got snake infestation'

Dr. Phil : 'You mean worm infestation?'

Jaystin : 'and I just took this tablets that I bought from Mickey mouse, am I going to die?'

Dr. Phil takes a look at my empty box of Zentel and basically told me that I will be fine. He did make another appointment to see him in a couple weeks time to check if the medicine had worked.

So I waited patiently

Day 4

Went to my favourite pub in Melbourne, the keeper's arms to watch my favourite football team, Liverpool FC.

Day 7

Was a hot day, so I wore my poncho & sombrero to work.

Day 9

Went with Mr.P to the local 'Wear-your-tightest-shirt' competition. I beat Mr.P and wasn't even wearing my tightest shirt hahaha.

Day 11

Was a rainy day, so wore garbage bin bags to work.

Day 14

Feeling very metrosexual, wore my Paco Rabanne suit to work.

So after 14 days, I went for second doctor's appointment.

Jaystin : 'Good day, Dr. Phil'

Dr. Phil : 'Oh, Jaystin! So any snakes come out from your bum?'

Jaystin : 'No snakes came out of my bum. Wasted AUDXX.XX inc gst on those worm tablets'

Dr. Phil : 'As your disclaimer said, "seek a health professional before ingesting any medicines"'

Jaystin : 'guess this means that this review was pretty pointless'

Dr.Phil : 'That's what she said'

Jaystin : 'Indeed'

The moral of this story is that I'll never review medicines ever again... unless it has nice pictures on it.

Foodview 03a. Paldo instant noodles

Note : This review is broken into TWO parts because I managed to 'kill' my instant noodles. That's right I failed at cooking instant noodles. Sad but true.

The second part will be reviewing the taste of the noodles when I do eventually cook it right. So today I will review the contents and my failed attempt of cooking korean instant noodles called Paldo. That's right, I've never heard of this brand either because of all us have grown up on and only ever eaten one particular brand of instant noodles. Just ask any random person on the streets of Melbourne (try and go for the asian ones), and ask... actually don't even ask just say to them "Instant noodles". You will find that 9 out of 10 people will reply, "Indomie". Strange but true.

Years of eating Indomie have made my antibodies weak against its MSG content and therefore I no longer eat this legendary food. I believe that last time I cooked and ate an Indomie packet was in 1989. However, finding its replacement is not easy. There are hundreds of Instant noodles brand flooding aisles in most asian grocery stores and even in Safeway. Overwhelmed with choices? I recommend simply closing your eyes and run up and down the entire aisle whilst your hand is moving up and down and simply grab the first pack you touch. That is how Paldo came to be in my bowl. Cool but not true.

Very well presented. If I didnt close my eyes and just grabbed the first thing, I'd would have just bought this based on its packaging alone.

I believe somewhere on the back of the packet, it says "DO NOT OVERCOOK NOODLES"

This packet contains either tasteless dehydrated spring onions or green rings of death like you see on XBOXes.

This packet contains the sauce that brings it all together.

Oh yea nearly forgot about the noodles, yes without these buggers, that sauce cant bring anything together. These noodles look pretty ordinary but they are of better quality than Indomie.

So I overcooked it and even messed up poaching the egg. Looks like my sock with an orange ball in it.

The noodles was plain nasty. The presentation was zero. So here ends the review. I will return when I get a new pack and learnt to properly poached an egg like this guy here. I must aim to have the noodles to look like the packaging at the very least. Note to self : make soup more watery and noodles less transparent.
