estimated calculation for you to make one yourself
2 pack ice cream stick - $2.00 (around 1.5 katanas) 1 pack 30cm satay stick - $ 2.00 (can make arnd 2 katanas) 1 pack 20cm satay stick - $ 1.00 (can make 2 to 3 katanas) 2 roll of scotch tape - $ 2.00 (more than enuff for 1 katana) 1 stapler gun - $ 10.00 (can last you for years) staple bullet - $ 0.70 - 1 box (can make arnd 5 katanas) 1 roll aluminum tape - $10.00 (can make around 20 katanas) wooden laminate tape - $15 (small roll type, for handle & tsuba) wide transparent tape (for covering the blade's aluminum) - $1.20 flower cutter (cutting of wood) - $ 3
total around $ 46.90 (it's definitely over kill for one katana)
optional items: stapler gun - $ 10 (use normal stapler, but more time consuming as the staplet might fail to punch in, and need to redo) laminate - $ 15 (u can use wrapping paper of simillar textures - around $0.50) aluminum tape $ 10 (masking tape + chrome paint can replicate simillar, but not so shiny arnd $ 1.00 for tape and $7.00 for chrome paint)
cost after discarding optional items - $20.40
note: the tsuba you can use ice cream stick to make a base (then use mounting board in shape to sandwich and seal off the edge with scotch tape, then spray paint)

the central
went to the central again. hmm.. sometimes i wonder does central have alot of jpnese shopperx? alot of jpnese stalls seem to concentrate there... i jus spotted some new stalls jus nw.
anyway, the central is really a nice shopping mall.. its quiet, big, spacious + new. n watx more, nice environment.. its near s'pore river^^
i'll recommand it to ppl who r looking 4 a nice n quiet place to dine-in. but if ur those looking 4 entertainment, it wouldnt suit u since therex no kbox, no movie theater, no pool.. nothing there. itx a shopping center with some shops + alot of restaurants.
+ tdyx lesson is good.. LOL, therex 4 types of ppl in the world.. aka D.I.S.C. so, if they r in a ship ttx sinking, the "I" will say: "come, letx jump down to the sea!".. this is the active/ talkative grp. then the "D" will tell "S" to jump.. yes, the "D" grp is the leader.. n the "S" being afraid to try anything will say "i tink itx nt safe.", they r the quiet grp. then u will c "C" standing 1 side, thinking bout alot of things.. they r the "deep-in-thoughts" grp. they think alot.. so he was thinking of things like "how he shld jump?", "how deep is the water?", "is there any other ways?" LOL.. if u tink this story makex no sense, itx nt by me, let me tell all of u 1st.
went 4 kbox + pool.. pool is dangerous when the ball can fly out frm the pool table.
*ppl, beware of safety measures^^*
i nd claim medicial fee frm yp.
anyway, went to class chalet aftertt, its a long day + tmr will b a busy day @ work ><.
i didnt take any pic in chalet since there isnt any really fun activities goin on. + every yr, no. of ppl hu comes jus keep decreasing...
but the cool thing is tt, therex a ehub there nw. went to ehub to take a look. well, its nt really a shopping center, more like a leisure area.
therex pool, movie theater, kbox, arcade.. otherx r mainly food area.. places like ntuc n restaurants. well, of cox.. since itx a chalet area.. but itx really packed with ppl. ALOT of ppl.
n jus for tdy, i spent almost $50.. there goes wat i withdraw on sunday..
completed Hanayome to Papa ytd. nice drama^^ suppose 10 is full mark, i'll gv it 10. (yes, ttx how good i tink it is) nice combination of comedy + romance + real-life issue.. i love funny love story^^ the papa is nice^^ + the couple is so cute><
hw many couples can b so mature at such a young age ? + so lovely^^ they really matured alot bcox of a nice dad...
this story reflects the common issue in life, y children + parents dun get along well.. parents think they can protect their children by having some rules, but children thinks tt their parents r over-controlling them.
Miura hu is the guy hu fall 4 Aiko, loves the way Aiko is being bought-up. his family runs a business + his parents r always too busy 4 him. + having a elder bro in line, hu shld b the 1 to manage the family business ltr, he c himself as "nt needed" in the family, therefore, do nt open himself out to his family members.
when he began to noe Aiko's family, he start to like her family more than his. her father is warm + really love his child. + he loves Aiko. therefore when his family did nt agree to them being together. he starts to say things like "he will break off his relationship with his family n b together with Aiko". well, of cox the nice dad (Aiko's dad) did nt agree to it n help him through to let his parents understand him better n their relationship gt better.
this story mainly talks bout family issues ard, n hw a couple, wanting to b together, manage to mature along the way n get the agreement frm every1 ard them to b together.
itx a really inspiring story to watch^^ i wan a nice guy too^^
anyway, nw to serious stuff.. i was reading through a blog i visit often, about my fav artist n i was surprised to c a post on the recent earthquake in si chuan. yes, as most of u will noe by nw, itx such a strong earthquake tt most sch + hosptial collapsed. n the sad truth is, itx still sch hour @ tt time, therefore alot hu r killed in the earthquake r young children.
yes, i knew this news a few days ago, but whenever i c the news again i feel sadness. seeing images of rows n rows of dead bodies, parents waiting for a miracle tt they might receive gd news bout their children n much much more. all these r sad pictures to look @. i hate sad story.. so as im typing nw, i hope i can finish this fast, so i may feel better.
anyway, i tink alot of u had seen alot of pic of the earthquake area nw. so, i shld nt post anymore. but i'll like to take this chance to encourage every1 to help out in all ways tt u could. for those hu r willing to donate $ to them in s'pore: http://www.redcross.org.sg/chinaearthquake_src_donate.htm
we cant do much, but let us do whatever we can.
+ as a s'porean, im really proud of JJ Lin. he donated $ + composed + recorded a song within 2days hoping to make those affected by the earthquake to feel better.

actually itx out for sometime liao.. but tt proves im nt a crazy fan, jus a simple fangal hu will look @ the pv of her fav grp when she happens to c it.
anyway, i like ths pv cox it goes on slowly n u can c the guyx clearly.. the atmosphere, camera angles n so r good too. but wat i like is wat i dun like. the pv is too slow tt i felt it doesnt go well with the song.. or izzit jus me?
anyway, enjoy the 5 lovely boyx + the special pi's ending ^^
hey! hey! hey!.. hehe, i love the 2 random hosts in the show. tegoshi in black with hat is love ><.
+ part 2 is LOL.. even if u dun watch part 1 + 3, u have to watch part 2..
koyama is so cute ><.. "we will b notink without yamapi".. LOL.. "do u noe wat day is it today?".. "it's tue".. i LOL-ed so much.. remind me of some1 i noe.. the april fool joke ><
tegoshi's "sky moon walk" is really LOL too >< i nd more of tegoshi~^^ koyama is owayx LOL.. but hex especially LOL in karaoke.. koyama, letx have a kara session!~ ^^
jus completed anego, 10eps + 1 special. itx a old drama, but since i didnt watch it @ tt time...
well, itx a good drama. i usually dun use 1 post on jus 1 drama, but i tot this deserves it.
i decided to watch since therex Akanishi Jin>< + i find e plot rather interesting. glad i watched it.
i really like the way itx portrayed.. they can b toking while having other thoughts in their mind @ the same time. so they shows u what the actors r tinking while they r saying something else... LOL, itx like those animex adapted frm rpg games.
anyway, i shall nt b too much of a spoiler.. all i can say is the story is bout this 32 yrs old woman hu is still single n is trying 2 look 4 a guy to get marry asap. then this guy, the OMG Akanishi Jin came into her life n she start to fall 4 him (Jin fall 4 her 1st).. sum1 hux 11yrs younger than her.. n the story went on n on.
the main chara is such a nice person.. do such a person still exist in this world?
