Bye bye (Old)Aww Snapped

No, no. Aww Snapped is not going to retire, as a matter of fact. The old Aww Snapped template is taking an early retirement plan. So! How do you guys like it? Clean and simple! None of the fancy colorful panels, no more hotlinks from here to there, not many ads, in fact. The search button is gone. (I am trying to get it back in though)

Aww Snapped is now more clean & simple. I have been having a few complains from my friends a few weeks ago. Although Initially I thought its only my slow internet connection. But later on I realize that Aww Snapped has not been loading fully on others also. And the loading can really drag on and on.

That prompted me to take a look into my designs. Granted, when I asked for opinion from nineoverten about the loading, he said something about the html code running rogue. I had no idea what the hell he is talking bout. But I assume that it has something to do with the fact of me messing around with the template code when I know close to zero about html codings. Cool eh? I live dangerously :D

Anyway, I hope this template will actually be nicer and better. I will try to improve on it further in the near future. Untill then, any suggestions is appreciated.

Green Peas Key Chain Toy

One of the weirder thing that I have bought online last week. A green pea key chain toy. Specifically, a funny face green pea key chain. Funny thing is, this thing is quite high quality and very nice. For a pea that is.

The price though, is definitely not a pea. Its very expensive. Retailing at USD5.90 its nothing cheap but it sure is a good buy if you like weird stuff as collectible.

Here are some of the pix I took. If you are interested to get one of this you can order them HERE

Puti Puti Key Chain Toy

Ahh, the more interesting things of my package. Interesting, quirky and very much a total waste of USD6.49. That is if you like to spend your time breaking up bubble wrappings.

The idea of this Puti Puti Key Chain is that it creates a new kind of toy for those that love to waste their time breaking up bubble wrappings. Pressing the buttons will emulate bubble wrap breaking. But there is a goodies in here. Sometimes you will be able to hit the bonus button. Which will trigger the squeel of the girl and some other things. You will only be able to find out when you press em. Cool eh?

Monster Hunter X Touma Hunter Airou

Ah, one of my finer purchase from Play-Asia. An evil grinning version of Monster Hunter Kitty. and as you can see, the d etails, the colouring and the design of this kitty is just so good. Even the weight itself is quite heavy. And this is only ONE kitty trading figure. There are actually 8 type of design available and the one design that I wanted is the fighting version.

BUT as you can see, I got one of the cook version in different cooking uniform. Ah well. Assembly of this trading figure is surprisingly easy as you can see from this picture
Just put on the clothes, assemble the hand and then pop the kitty head on top with his hat. There is only one minor boo boo. See that orange rubber band looking thingy on the bottom left? I have no idea what it does. The picture did not show anything that has orange looking and the part doesn't fit anywhere else.

Any ideas?

Shooting Game Historica 2 SP


This week I got myself lots and lots of cool stuff and this is one of the cooler one. A classic fighting plane trading figure. There are at least 6 different type of plane to get from and I ordered 2. Hoping to snag a different one but, as luck has it. I got both the same one. Regardless, this thing has now garnered itself a seat on top of my monitor. And my good, this is the coolest looking plane figure I have right now.

The details are magnificent, the only grip I have for this is that, the figure does not come with an instruction manual. You might say that this is nothing. Its easily assembled, just a bit of parts here and there but boy, would you be WRONG!

This is the sight that first greeted me when I took out the trading figure.



Boy, was I stumped. It took me 10 minutes of trial and error and some squinting at the box it came in to get the parts right. Then the stand itself is another headache. After a while of flipping the stand upside down, I manage to assemble a semblance of fighting plane. Anyway, more close up shots of the trading figure can be found below. Check it out!

If you are interested to purchase one of this. Look for them HERE
