Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan: My Impressions Of The March 11th Event

When it comes to earth bound catastrophes, the connectivity of the globe continues to astound me. A mind-messing 8.9 earthquake and subsequent 10-meter tall tsunami has hit the coastal city of Sendai in Japan, barely hours ago in the afternoon of March 11th (thank god it was daytime and not in the night when folks slept!), images has spread on Twitter, along with links to emergency services and

An Online Thank You From TOYSREVIL

Lying in bed from Stroke in Changi General Hospital for the entirety of end-October to end-November 2010, one of the ways I've tried to keep "in touch" with my online life (couldn't help it! and before I could type on the laptop in December, while still in hospital) was via printed pages of my Facebook, via the diligence of my sister Cindy (who had also helmed the online aspect of my life then,

Stroke@41: Launch of a New Blog (Just Not About Toys)

Yes, against better "design sense"-judgement, I have undetermined "flying birds" in this banner image, which is in fact also found on my new blog at http://stroke41.blogspot.com, which yes, is focused on my experiences with suffering from Stroke.This blog is something which I had been planning to write in and about, ever since I was lying in bed for the two months in end-2010. I had wanted to

Plastic Coffins (A TOYSREVIL Photo-Series from 2005)

This blog entry originated with a tweet-convo I had with Mark of HelloVinyl (see, twitter can be "fun" and productive!), where he mentioned his toys were in storage (as were mine, in a weird happenstance) and I had remembered a photo-series I did and posted back in 2005 (a year where I'd actually took more pics than I'd typed words), whereby I'd snapped blurry ethereal images of toys stuck in

Food & Friends in Jakarta 2010

Respect The Pink

In lieu of a planned series of Weekly Weekend Roundup, and an as-yet-finished Closing Post for STGCC circa 2010 (I'm stubborn like that), this will be the sole image post for this Sunday! Roundup continues tomorrow, an exciting two days before the Weekly Wednesday Roundup (...the things I put myself thru for your reading pleasurement, yeh? Heh).

Toy-Joy In A Box

There is something very joyous about discovering a box of toys. And by discovery, I mean randomly finding a box filled with goodies, as opposed to the other overt joy of collecting: receiving a box filled with toys from the postman (to wit). And while there IS a difference between receiving a paid load of toys, as opposed to a box of freebies - the absolute silent smile that comes with randomly

TRE-JOURNAL: A Sense of Community / A Personal Toy-Collecting Experience

My personal notion of "toy-collecting" has changed somewhat thru the years. And tis not about the genre and/or types of toys I choose to collect (that's another post planned for another weekend), but moreso the experience of collecting toys.[CLICK THRU TO READ TRE-JOURNAL]Years ago, I had stumbled and started down the poisoned-path-of-vinyl by my lonesome. If memory serves me right, it begun with

5.12

If my blog-posts were any indication; May 12th went on as regular a blog-day as any other day before that, a year ago today in 2008. I had blogged about Electric Monkey Men, posted sneaks of FatCap Series 2, Ron English's Bunnny Rabbit, a teaser of fellow-Singaporean's B09 resin toy, a blurry pic of Michael Lau's S.F.J.J., and cleaning up a series of "Cease-and-Desist" requests from Medicom Toy.

It ain't about what YOU want - it's about Me - Everything me and what relates to me and my current life, and becoz it's going to be my birthday tomorrow and I'm in a mood to reminisce, rage/rant, pay homage to (the pitfalls of "advanced-aging") and share for those who
