Yes, Yes!!!!

Bwahahahahahaha!!! Look, look!! My new Gundam, completely assembled but almost completely painted. But some of the parts are really small so they are really hard to paint. Anyway, the picture is below, one with a dull background and another with the box as its background which look so cool. Oh, and these pictures are without weapons because I haven't even started painting them yet. So, these pictures show just Blitz Gundam, without its Trikeros system, and its Gleipner. No beam rifles, no beam sabres and no lance darts, just to be clear. Feast your eyes on this:


(Above) There it is, as you can see, it has no weapons. The parts that haven't been coloured are not really visisble but you can clearly see it near the waist. Oh, and no lining, I haven't started yet because I don't really want to finish it that fast. This Gundam might have been the one I've been working on the longest.



(Above) A very nice background, which is the box by the way, I don't plan on throwing because I didn't throw the others anyway. This Gundam is clearly symmetrical without its weapons but after I put them on there are no axis of symmetries. And lastly, of course this Gundam is a Bandai product. Hehehehehe. I bet you don't know which part I coloured. I'll just keep that a secret. Well, that's all. I hope this post will bring you into liking Gundam. Bwahahahaha!!!

Something's Wrong

Well, let's say this post might not make any sense. Well, mostly none of mine do but think about it properly you might understand, in a school way by the way. Hey, it rhymes. Anyway on with the post.

I was playing warcraft 3. The map I made, Fortified Forts (yes, I haven't made a new one yet), I was playing it with a bunch of friends. I was on the North East Side and the other was on the South West side. It was 3 on 3. Well, the game went on quite well of course, I was keeping up with the tech and making sure I had enough troops. When I was just about to make and expansion, my friend asked me to check out one side of the map to make sure the enemy's team had not controlled that area yet, but well I couldn't really go because I had a smaller amount of troops even though I had enough to defend my base. So I didn't check it out because there was also something fighting keeping my troops buisy. And as you would have thought, the enemy did control that area and was the production base for their troops. It was a little late when I found that out. Their army rushed in on our team and we lost. My friend was angry, he said I should have went, I should have checked it out. But I didn't, so I was sorry. Very sorry. Sorry again. I should have, I should have. Sorry Ziq.

My New Gundam


My new gundam. See. I Bought it somewhere where I live. Hehehehe.

This is the new gundam I recently bought with my raya money. Its name is GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam whose pilot is Nicol Amarfi, who is a girl don't be mistaken I thought she was a guy. That still scares me. Anyway this is the only gundam from Seed or Gundam Seed that caught my eye. Yeah, I don't really like the other gundams. Well I like this one maybe because it has something like a grapling hook. The Blitz that I bought is clearly the No Grade (NG) 1/100 version which does not have clear armour (clear armour does not look nice to me).

Actually Blitz Gundam was one of the 5 to be produced by the Earth Alliance. But the suit was stolen by Nicol Amarfi. She died by being killed by Kira Yamato the main character. The phase shift armour is used to protect the suit from ranged attacks such as beam fire and artillery. However, Blitz cannot use its Mirage colloid (which turns it invisible) and Phase Shift armour at the same time making it visible when using Phase shift armour and vulnerable when using Mirage Colloid. Nothing's perfect.

Its equiment are Sensors, phase shift armour and Mirage Colloid.

Armaments are Gleipnir Anchor, Trikeros offensive and defensive system, 50mm high-energy beam rifle, beam saber and lance darts. The beam rifle, beam saber and lance darts are all in the Trikeros System.

Now, I have started making the gundam but have yet to finish it so I'll just show some pictures. Here they are:


The Box and the Construction Manual.


The parts that have to be assembled.

You must have the following to make a nice gundam. Not really all but at least some. The cutter is the most important of all of course.


The tools needed. Well not all actually. You should have a cutter with one side completely flat so that it cuts nicely. A file is essential as well so be sure to have these if you plan on making gundam models. The outline marker, tweezers and pen knife are not really needed but your gundam should look better with their help.



Oh, and of course, have a nice big area to build you gundams. Well lighted and comfortable because you might be making the gundam for hours and just sit there letting you buttocks get hurt. It took me about 3 hours just building the arms, head and body excluding waist and below.

There I have shown you my latest addition to my gundam collection. Now, to BED!!!

The Irrelevant Case of Akiki (Final Chapter)

The final chapter is the chapter that you are reading now if you are reading it. I know it's very late but exams was up so I couldn't even touch the computer let alone use it. But now I can continue the final chapter and get it over with. So her it is, the FINAL CHAPTER!!!

Chapter 5 : The Irrelevance

It was a school day again. I went on taking a shower, putting my clothes on and went down for breakfast. After breakfast, the usual, I packed up and went to school in the same car like any other day. I thought about how tiring this case was. Thinking of all the possible ways for Akiki to disappear just like that. But today was different. Very different.

As I came out of the car I saw something that might not be true to me myself. I was Akiki. I thought he disappeared. He wore the same face he usually had when he came to school. I thought to myself. "Were the previous searches and clues some kind of dream?". Maybe it was but I was sure enough it is impossible to dream about dreaming. So the previous acts must have been real. But how could he appear here. This really, really, really puzzled me, so much I almost forgot to continue walking.

I made my way to class and tried forgetting about what I saw and just continue listening to the teacher teaching. But it was too much for me to just forget, so I decided. I would ask him during recess and that was what I did. It was recess time and because I made up my mind, I went straight to his class, to ask him about how he disappeared. When I entered the class, I saw Ziq there as usual and I walked up to him and asked "Hey Akiki, how come you just disappeared for those few days? Where were you?"

He then answered " I had fever, I thought Ziq was going to tell you. Ziq did you tell him or not?"
I looked at Ziq thinking about the dream I had. Ziq then answered " Okay, okay, I made him a puzzle or something and he took such a long time to solve it." Everything finally made some sense to me. The dream showed Ziq as the killer because he was the one who made the puzzle. After knowing this, recess was almost over and I went back to class.

Soon, school had ended that day. I thought back about everything I did just to find out about something so simple. How I didn't even think of calling his mother and asking her about Akiki. How I searched the school at night. All the trouble I went through just to find out he didn't go to school because of a fever. After thinking of all that, I thought to myself that this case was nothing else but Irrelevant.

There the end of the Irrelevant Case of Akiki. Thanks for reading. Bye.

The Irrelevant case of Akiki (Chapter 4)

Yeah, you have reached the 4th and next-to last or penultimate chapter of the Irrelevant case of Akiki. Good news!! I will post this chapter and the 5th chapter will be the longest chapter of all. So I hope you have not given up on reading about this story. So, thanks for reading the case of Akiki's disappearance or so it seems. Start!!! Fourth chapter!!!

Chapter 4 : The Solution

I sat up straight after waking up for bed that night. The dream shook me up a bit, I was still terrified. Who was that person in my dream, was it someone I knew, or someone who is a complete stranger to me. And the worst of all what was his name, I couldn't really guess who it was. Was it my friend Ziq, or some other guy whose name is familiar. And what has he got to do with Akiki's disappearance. This thought bothered me throughout the day.

As I went into the shower I thought about the note or puzzle that Akiki left me or he should have. I thought carefully thinking of the possible ways of getting the hidden message left within it. Then something came to my mind, Math!! It was one of the things that Akiki was best at and maybe just maybe there was a way of getting the message by solving all the questions. I answered each one carefully making sure that the message is clear.

For the first question I had answered the answer was, O=G, I thought about how this could become a note. Then, a thought struck me, I remembered my teacher saying something about where there can be the number 1. I started adding the number 1 to all the answers not on the first letter but on the ones after the equal signs.

I cleared it out, and the new answer was, O=1G. I received more answer when answering the following questions, K=1B, I=1A and so on. I finally found it, the way of solving the puzzle, the first letter represents the letter and the following ones represent the coordinates not on a Cartesian plane but on the coordinates like when playing Battle Ship as I saw in my dream.

The answer from the puzzle was horrible but I tried to hold my self together. I sat back on my bed thinking of all the ways I could overcome and solve this case. The message the letter held was something I had never expected and I tried not to think about this case, this impossible case that cannot be solved by any mere human being and what more me a school kid. That thought filled my head as I read a book about the White Wolf.

Well that's all I'm quite sleepy so this is a short chapter and still the penultimate chapter of this 5 chapter story. Bye.

The Irrelevant Case of Akiki (Chapter 3)

The third chapter in the story that you have followed, the Irrelevant Case of Akiki, might be the weirdest of them all. Why you ask? Well, it is because this case is something of an alternate chapter of the story, a chapter where the story is completely different than the others but will match at the end. The story is still about me searching for answers and clues to the case. So please enjoy this chapter like you have enjoyed the previous ones. If you have not enjoyed the previous ones than just try to enjoy this. Sheesh.

Chapter 3 : The Synchorization

I was running. Running through an endless glade, a field where only grass grew. It made no sense to me at all, what was I doing, why was I doing it. I saw a shine in the horizon, and I went after it. It was different than before the shining light was both horizontal and vertical meeting at a straight 90 degree angle. A flash suddenly appeared and everything in sight turned a slight reddish colour. It was an explosion I ran towards it trying to see what was going on.

As I reached the area I could see that it was burnt, and smoke was still coming out of the ground. I was all strange. I ran back following my tracks leading me back to a place I have known so well as home. My house was empty no one in it. I searched my own house not knowing why, and then suddenly, I stepped on a piece of paper. Somehow it looked fimiliar, like I have seen it before. The instant I picked it up I knew what it was, the paper I found addressed to me from Akiki. A thought came to my mind. I ran to the nearest bus station and took a bus back to my school. The place I had gone to at night to search for clues.

As the bus approached to the stop, I was still thinking about the puzzle. Almost forgetting, I managed to get out of the bus and ran towards my school. I passed the same place seeing the same things from the previous time and everyday as I enter my school. As I walked in I did not have to hide, no one was in the guard post. Although it was strange, I took the chance and ran in, to the same block. But before I reached it, I saw a person staring straight at the sky, I recognized him eventually and it was my friend Ziq. I called out to him but somehow he did not bother to look at me.

I ignored him and ran towards Akiki's class. It was completely different, only the tables were there but there were no chairs. I went to look for Akiki's desk but I could not find it. Then, something caught my attention. The table was out in the same glade I was running through. I walked slowly towards it and examined it for any other clues until I felt pain strike through my back. My back was bleeding and someone was there, holding a knife. He knelt down to me and said "Have you solved the puzzle? It's quite easy actually, Numbers are placed in a vertical order and alphabets are in a horizontal order just like the game Battleship". He lifted up his arm, the one holding the knife and said again" It's me, don't you recognize me?It's Z..." Then, everything faded out. I was sweating in my bed when I woke up." It was just a dream." I said to myself.

That would be the ending of the thrid chapter. I hope you'll read the next one. That will be the one where I answer the puzzle. Bye.

The Irrelevant Case of Akiki (Chapter 2)

Hey, welcome to the second chapter which is sure to be quite interesting I hope. Now at the end of this post I will put a picture showing a puzzle, the puzzle which I have found. How did I find it? That you have to read yourself but just to tell it took me quite a long time to break it. So I hope that any of you can solve it before reading the next chapter and enjoy reading this chapter. Let the story begin, I mean continue...

Chapter 2: The Investigation

His answer really puzzled me. I thought about it the following night, thinking of all the possible reasons to why and how Akiki just dissapeared from maybe existence and why such a disappearance would happen. I thought about all the ways that it could possibly be done, all the ways it could be solved but they all made no sense in anyway. Finally, after putting much of my thought to it I decided to investigate about this case. I named it the Impossible Case of Akiki because it was almost impossible to commit.

The plan to the investigation was simple yet quite difficult to perform and it would take quite a long time but I have decided. I took a bus to the first stop in the city and from there I went straight on to my school and in order to not allow my parents to know about it I used the night I was supposed to go to tuition. I got off the bus at the nearest stop from the school. It was a beautiful night because it was not very cloudy but the sky was clear and some stars were shining in the sky. I tried not to let this distract me from my main goal, to investigate.

I sneaked by the guard post, making sure no one heard me coming or hear me going past the guard post. But this was harder than expected because of the wide open field in the school which was the first obstacle I had to overcome. Swiftly and silently, I moved through the field hiding shortly behind tree after tree until I came to the first block, the block where Akiki's class was. I took a deep breath and rushed to his classroom. It was there where I started my search for any clues leading to his disappearance.

I found his table, where it used to be, by the corner near the window beside a few others. But, there was something different about it. The desk was clean, no papers, sweets , chewing gum or even text books. It was clean like someone had remove all of the belongings of the friend Akiki. This frustrated me, but as my hope was fading something brought it back again, the rubbish bin was full of papers and other rubbish. I went through the items inside and there where all quite clean. Most of the papers where activities and test papers which were thrown away and of course most of them belonged to Akiki. Finally, I found something but its presence made me even more curious about what had happened. It wasn't a note or any short poem, it was something more, I was a list of mathematic questions that maybe had a message hidden in it. I went home that night, feeling even more puzzled than before. I laid down on my bed with the paper I found and tried to see what message it had.

The Paper I found...
Click the picture to enlarge it and question number 16 is (N=A....) Sorry no so clear.

You have now reached the end of chapter two. I hope you continue reading the following chapters of the Irrelevant Case of Akiki. Bye.
