Year of the Bull

Its been more than a month since I last blog. CNY passed by and not a blog post to accompany it.

Anyway I have been busy lately with my work so dun have much time to blog. But judging from what is going on in the year of the bull, this is going to be 1 very hectic year. Reading the local newspaper with all the political news is one hint things aren't going smoothly.

They say the economy is slowing down, especially in the States, which I can see it slowly coming down here. I'm a building services engineer, mainly doing mechanical stuff like fire-fighting, air-con, plumbing, lift etc and some of my projects are either Keep-In-Viewed or scrapped. Got 1 semi-conductor factory in Banting which we were supposed to build but since the semi-conductor industry is the hardest it, that is the 1st to go. On the bright side, it has barely moved past the tendering stage and the job was not awarded yet.

Anyway, let's not talk bout the real-life stuff, more on what I have been doing lately.

Recently bought myself a Lego City set. The first set using my own money and the first set in my working life. The last set was during my final year in Aussie back in 2005.

The set is the 7632 Crawler Crane. When I first saw it I was immediately hooked to it coz it looked like the real thing on the construction site.

Overall it was a great set, although the item it lift (the green building panel) is a little out of place and practically useless. Realistic sets like these usually attract my attention.

Currenly planning to buy one Technic set which is coming out later this year. Not a kids set, but more of an adults set since only an adult can afford it. So gotta save up.
