Mastering the Master Grade

This is the first time a Gundam model kit is able to sit in my room for 2 weeks and yet to be fully assembled. So far, I have only assembled the upper body, i.e. the torso, arms and head, and some of its weaponry. Its partly due to a lack of time due to other commitments as well the level of difficulty and parts for this one since its a Master Grade this time. Nevertheless I am sure it will be completed before Christmas.

Anyway I am quite surprised to find the price of model kits these days to be rather affordable, much so compared to when I first started back in Secondary school days. A Master Grade now is comparable to a High Grade (lower grade than Master Grade) back in those days. But I wonder when will the day come that I would be willing to buy a Perfect Grade (costs at least $200).

Moving forward | Stepping back

It surprises me how people tend to forget about their goals in the face of obstacles. Some give up without giving a try while others are ready to settle for mediocre solutions even though they know it will not be enough to fulfill what they set out to do.

Few people sought to re-tackle the problem at hand in search of better solutions which we ought to do in order to accomplish our goals.

Why are people settling for mediocrity?

Maybe its human nature to be lazy and choose the easy way out.

Its really not because I want to compare but it is really much much more convenient to have an MRT station right beside campus. In Munich, I have a station outside where I live which could conveniently bring me to either campuses I studied in. Having such a long heritage, I would say that having a MRT station to NUS or even NTU is long overdue.

The NUH station on the Circle Line would probably be the best we got.
