2 PS3 games

Recently, I bought these 2 PS3 games from Play-asia once again. It is not the latest titles but it seems to be good and it is on discount. However, one of them is Korean version which only the physical manual is in Korean but the game itself is Japanese. It is the cheapest compared to the rest of the available versions (Asia, Japan).

The shipping took a while though, it takes about 1 week plus to reach me. Nonetheless, I received it in a bubble wrapped box in good condition.

The other one is a typical US version which is English. Below is the pics of the games titles. The name of both titles is:

1) Dai-2-Ji Super Robot Taisen Original Generations

2) Metal Gear Rising



Hope I am able to find time to play both games and complete it :).

Tamiya Lunchbox junior

It has been a long time since I last played with a Tamiya model kit. And this particular kit left a deep impression on me when I was a kid since I really find it attractive in a way, and it still does now and I spent a considerable amount of time to assemble it.

Fast forward to around 20+ years later, it still catches my eye (very nostalgic) and I am still surprised it is still in production. I guess it is a classic model in a way. It is now made in Philippines rather than Japan if I remember correctly.  

I have lost my old one long time ago and when I saw it, I couldn't resist to get it. Moreover, my wife says it will be a gift. Guess she saw the inner child in me :). Below is 2 pics I took, I intend to get the relevant colours and do a nice job in painting it. But I hope to be able to find the time to do it. It will be for my personal display rather than playing with it.

Olympus E-M5

Been a long time since I bought a new camera. So I have to sell my old 4/3 DSLR + lenses to get a new one, but I am going the mirrorless 4/3 camera this time. And E-M5 has caught my attention when it was first released with its splash and dust proof body and kit lens. It has the same durability with the E-series. It also earned a gold award from dpreview. 

Fast forward and it has been a year now and the retail price drop for this model is around 20% since there are new models going to be released soon. So I think it is a good time to get it.

I got a reasonably good deal I guess since there a ongoing PC show promotion going on which includes a leather neck strap, PEN leather bag and a extra battery. Below is the unboxing video and some pictures of the package.
