Making Lego Star Wars

I remember those days when we went out to shopping malls, we would always visit the toys section of the department stores. Because he's so in love with Lego, the Star Wars series especially. 

In Australia, Lego always has a at least a few shelves in the toys section. You can either go to K-Mart, Target, Myers, David Jones, Toys R us, etc. 

I always felt like the guys in straight relationships, following their girlfriends to try out new clothes. He would always ask me, 'which one do you think is better?', 'Do you think I should get it now since it's on promotion?', 'get one for me la', 'you see this one so special, got this and that'. 

To me, honestly, they were all Legos. They looked...well, nice, but I wouldn't buy them coz I was not interested in playing Lego. 

The toys section was a must go section if we go out. I was generally fine with it. He knew I wasn't interested so he wouldn't forced me to be around him when he browsed through the collection. I could wander off to other sections. 

I bought him Legos for his birthday last year. It took me a few hours literally, to choose which ones to buy him. 

I regretted for not paying attention while he talked about and showed me his purchases. I just couldn't be sure which ones he had already. So I sent some 'hints' to him while I was deciding which ones to buy. 

He likes mini figures more than the space ships. And every set comes with different mini figures. I sent him some pictures of mini figures and asked if those were new. 

Finally, I made my decision based partly on the (c) copyright years printed on the boxes! I would only choose those with (c) 2012 (since it was last year). 

Anyway, I got him the wrong presents!

I bought him something that he already had. I failed so badly right!! 

Yesterday, after the blood test, I was near a shopping mall. So I went in, went to Toys R Us and bought a box of Lego Star Wars. 



I wanted to buy him something. I think he hates me. I thought if I buy him something he likes, he may hate me less?

I know nothing is sufficient for him to love me again or to come back to me. I actually don't have a lot of spare cash on hand at the moment, but i just wanted to buy him something he likes. 

Last night, I thought, why not just assemble the thing instead of giving him the raw set. 

On one hand, I want to 'impress him' a bit. Coz in the past, even with a mini figure, I couldn't get it right, he would need to show me how, yes, even for a mini figure! On the other hand, I wan to try to experience things he does, to feel him. 





It's actually quite intimidating. With all the tiny pieces. I was so afraid of losing even one piece. 


The instructions booklet was very helpful. It was thick!




Mission accomplished! It took me 2 hours to make this. 


It's moveable. Look at the 'belt', it was made up of 60 little plastic pieces. I had to join them to form the belt. 

It was fun. And there's this sense of achievement. But I got to say that it's a bit tiring. haha. 

I dun know what to do next. Should I send this off to him? 

What do you think he will do? Get pissed? and dump it straight away?

    Keep it to yourself so that someday you will think of those sweet memories and moments spent with him. :)

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
