STGCC 2009.

Yup, the Singapore Toys, Games & Comics Convention had ended yesterday, 16 Aug 2009.

Here are a few outstanding fotos I managed to get for myself.

Frankly speaking, this year is quite a disappointment for me. Since I didn't see the lego display at all. Last year there were a few nice legos around, but this year, the playmobil was displaying instead. Then, the gundams went missing. I mean the BB gundams. Luckily, the origin was displayed. Quite a consolation for me.

Transformers. Well, quite a catch for the fans. I saw a display of woahs. Megatrons & Optimus Primes. Hmm... A consolation for me too, to capture bumblebee. Actually, the humble bee could be a lady. I saw a cosplay of this girl as it. Nice! Sorry, I didn't capture it since I prefer the bumblebee below.

Quite skinny for the cosplayer.


Oh Stitch as Elvis Presly.
Tokidoki booth. I like colorful stuff.

Erm... Isn't this CUTE! Chibi version. KAWAIIIIII!!!

Brian Bolland Booth. I like the joker. Simply great. Tofus on the stormtrooper helmet?? (>< ;)
Thanks, big enough gundam.
Playmobil.
Cute! But not that as compared to last year.
Woo, that's a great job. Just that the extra above wanna get rip off by Joker?
We are really contented for the last day of this event. Long waiting is worthwhile as long we assured an autograph from Brian Bolland.

Woah! Consolation prize neh!

Finally see some value in my weekly follow up in 4D. Thanks mom who invited me to buy my pdl numbers which consist a set of numbers which was the number plate which she sat in during her wedding day.

Lucky. Feeling luck is coming. Hopefully this wednesday I can strike big sweep too, so I can buy my car after I got my DL...

Dreaming badly, maybe I need to practise diligently first to get the DL before I think of what model to drive. Hahaha...

Anyway, cost for obtaining a driving license this days are as follow (based on school).
  1. Enrolment fee of SGD60.00.

  2. Lesson per session at SGD17.12 whereby there are 4 sessions to take.

  3. Theory practise at SGD2.14 per session whereby I attended 16 in all for basic & advance.

  4. Theory test at SGD6.00 whereby u need to book at least 2 sessions, one each for basic & advance.

  5. SGD25.00 for PDL which valid for a mere 6mths only.

  6. Last but not least, the Practical training at SGD59.92 per session of 1hr 45mins.

  7. Also a stimulation session & autocar driving session which I didn't manage to check out the cost yet.

  8. Finally the revision & Practical test which I have not booked since I haven't started the driving practise yet. Will update again.

I am already told during the briefing that for one DL, learners must prepare at least SGD2000 to obtain the license. Gosh, it's so much expensive over these years.

I had always been thinking is it due to the students who rushed in for their DL which shoot up the price for the whole course? In fact, locally there are too much young & furious drivers on the road. Just to take precaution, getting a license isn't that easy now. OMG... Just when I actually needed that badly, there is no slots for practise & it's expensive too.

I really felt that shouldn't we mark up the age limit to 21 yr olds instead? I believe adults are more responsible by then. Also, we are able to own a car at this age, rather than 18 yrs old, a age where teens should concentrate on studying. LOL!!! So there are more slots for practise. Hahaha!!!

Ending my entry now. A very dry entry w/o anything to display. Hope to cya soon.
