Rayquaza
After all these days, Rayquaza is finally done :D
Encountered a lot of problems, including the position of 'fins', multiple closing tabs, loose parts etc.
But, the sense of satisfaction is the most important aspect in any hobby, in my opinion. And somehow, I feel satisfied even though this is not the best papercraft I have made >.<

Let the photos do the talking, shall we?
My favourite front shot
Did I mention I like this part the most? The depth, which makes it so real.
If I am making Groundon or Kyogre, this'll be the main reason.
The usual irritating claws
The 'fins'! Super duper irritating.
Which makes me use Super glue, and the overflow-ed super glue causes...
A piece of ubber glove inside the papercraft !
LOL. I have to wear a glove to prevent my fingers from getting glued together.
I guess that did not work well.....
*Shine*
Tail :D Looks cute here/
Spoiled tail ...I'll explain later.
Looks weird isn't? I wonder how did I miss one part of the tail??!!
Funny looking tail. AGAIN.
Bla bla bla
Bla x6
How to fix =.= : Pull the tail apart, glue in the correct part, put back the tail. Tadaa .....
Easier said than done. Really~
After I finish building Rayquaza, I encountered a major problem: it could not stand up! ( with the wrong tail, I don't know if it could stand up with the correct tail part or not though)
Planning a surgery...
Cut a hole. I used 2 one sen coins.
Super glue does the trick! ( with ugly water marks again.)
And it successfully stand up on its own!
Before it is done...
Beside the window...
Fins! More and more fins!!!
Perhaps, this will be my last Paperpoke.
I am going to Kolej Matrikulasi and I don't know if I would even have time for this hobby anymore.
Hope things do work out as what I have planned.....
Alright, until the next post! ( I think it'll be SD BuCUE XD)

One day in [U]niversiti [T]eknologi [P]etronas
Okay, not related at all..... because the only thing similar is the title.
In the previous blogpost-I Am A Lone Wolf, I thought I was all alone. Well, that isn't the case on Monday. A buddy of mine actually got the offer too. Hence, we became 'Duo-Wolves' XD
The 'journey' started at 7am. Reached UTP in about 45 minutes, which is 7.45am. There were already a long long queue for registration. Found my friend in the crowd, and I registered faster than he does...( Buddy Teong, don't hit me ~.~ ）
Then, the 'Majlis Perasmian' or Opening Ceremony started at around 8.30 am. It was delayed for a bit, since the registration took an hour......
UTP song
We 'sang' this song during the ceremony LOL. ( I thought it'd be National Anthem first?)
Then, let the speeches begin! After some major bla bla bla （ some were interesting though ), it's time to separate the groups. Teong and me were in Group C, Group A and B would go for interview first, while Group C and D would stay in the Chancellor Hall for ' career briefing' ( which I grouped it as another bla bla bla section , but the lecturers were really nice and good in speaking too.）
After the briefing, it's already 12pm. Had our lunch under tents they prepared. The foods were quite good and delicious compared with the one prepared for students in other places...
Then, Group C candidates got 'hold' in the holding room until 1.30pm. We got our case studies( AD PAYS) in Preparation Room.... So...time to get the brains running. In the room, we had to choose our group/ panel.
I thought they were going to separate us, placing us separately. To my surprise, they actually let us chose our partners etc. There was only one rule, each group must have 3 boys and 2 girls. So, some members of those groups that did not meet the requirements got to 'exchange' with other groups. My group was consisted of me, Teong, 1 Malay boy from Penang, and 2 girls from Teluk Intan , Perak. ( too bad I didn't take their Facebook =[ )
After the preparation time was over, we moved to another room ( they call is as another stage lol). We wait for the panel to call us for the interview.
We were supposed to do our individual interview first, followed by the group interview. Our group is so special we did our interviews altogether XD This is a good thing though, since the more the merrier( lol what?) Nonono, we had more courage when there were more people by our sides. We got an 'ice-breaking' session too... I don't know if other groups have this session or not. We just went in there, and do the talking. We got 2 interviewers, and they were both very nice. Although we spoke like mad people... bad grammars and sentence structures everywhere, they still listened to use patiently ( although one of them looks like very tired in the end of the session.)
Another benefit is, our session is probably shorter compared to other group. They had to call the members one by one, and then discuss the same things all over again in group interview. Since we already knew each other's points during the individual interview, our group session... was very short, relatively. I didn't know how to do a conclusion...so I just conclude all our points and asked ' do you agree with bla bla bla ' . Since we already knew the points, all of them agree...without any objection XD The interviewers were just like 'Okay?' and wanted to fall asleep already.
Thus, the interview was the only important event throughout the day. After that, all of us left the building and I headed straight to my home with my dad...( He drove me to there and waited for me . Thank you dad! )
I didn't really take much photos....but I'll see if I could find one. ( probably form the web or from my friends)

Angry Bird-The Black Bomber!
Personally, this is my favourite 'mass-destructing-weapon' in the game. It is tanky, has high penetration power and it can SELF DESTRUCT! Don't you just love this mean black bird? ( Beware, I see one flying just above you...)

I am a LONE WOLF......
Personally, I do feel that EduQuestCamp is more meaningful for me, not because I'd have 2 buddies in the programme, but EduCampQuest is for those who are eligible to get the scholarships. While I have no reason to tag myself or my family as 'RICH', I really need the money if I want to enter UTP.
EduCamp is only for those who are interested to study in UTP, while the expenses( definitely not Cheap!) are going to be paid by yourself ......
I'm still hesitating to attend the programme but for the sake of experience...I think I'll give it a shot, albeit a long one.
