Pinky in Perth... Part 1 (Introduction)

Finally back from Perth... but its a good trip and a fun experience. Actually should have blogged it long ago... haha but there the network super erm... haha nvm... and also lazy and short of time... so i shall do it now :P

Took an afternoon till night flight, could no slp on that plane, so watch sunset!!!! very pretty...

Perth is like really really cold la... its like 4 degrees or something on the coldest night. Thats pretty cold ok. Got me shivering to the bone. I remember on the coldest night, i pee then got smoke... wooo~

And there was this lemon tree below gin's room... i was like so amazed and thrilled cos i never seen a lemon tree before...

Lemon tree, taken from gin's window...

Ok... for like the first few days, i was like keeping gin company studying in school cos her exams are still going on, and she studies in school, more efficient. Other than that she still has to do testing, and they do testing on humans.. haha, dunno test for wat la... human guinea pigs..

This is the human movement testing lab...

Look what they do, weird tanks and computers linked to the treadmill with wires...

Gin fixing the wires..

Look!! They can power a computer with that cycle (like hamsters)!!! Amazing~

So what do i do in the mean time? origami la... and i did quite a lot there, littered gin's table with it and wow-ed her classmates.

Thats me doing origami on Gin's table...

Thats something new I did!!! Origami eastern dragon!!

Lets do some introduction of her classmates... alot of wonderful people.


This is Danny. My origami disciple as you can see, happily folding. He is a gym instructor and a Human Movement (HM) student.

This is Weiliang, soccer coach (the dodgy and no certificate kind) and HM student. Also my euro-buddy in Australia.

This is Esther, according to legends, she is a burper. But she cooks damn well... HM student as well...

This is Aaron. HM's 副班长. People call him Fishball Yeo cos his face is round.

This girl beside Danny is Miriam, also from HM. She was the one who sent me to and from airport. She is a professional church choir singer. Don't see her so smiley, she is the holder of the Singapore A and B Division record for 100m and 400m hurdles. One of them is broken by a Singapore sport's school student, I forgot which one, the other record is still standing. Fierce~!! (somehow she reminds me of 何润东, I think they look alike)

This is Taku, a Japanese doing his HM PhD. He is like one of the top swimmer during his time (I think in butterfly or freestyle), and is ever ranked 4th in his country. He also had a world ranking... dun play play... (the food he cooks are delicious)

Another dragon

Folded another dragon... the original design wasn't like tat.. its improvised... its kinda like dragon in flight, but i added legs folded the same way as chuka ryu... turned out pretty well, so its always good to have a list of folds you can use...

困兽之斗

Ok... i spent my whole day with dragons today... examining, figuring out, folding... shiok!!! satisfied!!! happy!!!
First was this half dragon, i think his dad is oriental who married a western dragon... the body look like oriental dragon but have wings one leh.. haha reminds me of the dragon in mulan... well i liked it very much... thats why i folded it in the first place.

But then got this little pig who rules piggidom, say something about dragon nv breathe fire or something... Wah... dun play play... gimme inspiration... Then i decided to make fire... with paper... haha. Well if you think its just crumpling a few pieces of paper then ok lo.. u are a genius... cos my table is strewn with paper after tat. I incorporate creases and soft folds for the fire... folded it with two square pieces of paper.
Voila~

Very good... quite satisfied... then this dragon can breathe fire but very lonely... so i folded another dragon... a western dragon this time... haha so they can fight...

Battle of the dragons...

Dragon and Lion

Attempted the Lion by Satoshi Kamiya and and easier version of dragon... Satoshi is god... woo... how complicated can his mind be... couldn't get the folds of its mane right... still working on it.. the folds are... out of this world... but pretty decent for a first try... the recommended folding paper is washi paper... what the hell is tat? a 40cmx40cm washi paper.. can anyone tell me where can i get that?

Next was a western dragon... an easier version compared to those by satoshi... not as nice.. but passable...

通宵...

Tried my best to conquer Kamiya's ancient dragon... 8 hours... precreasing itself took about 2+ hours...
This was my hmmm... 3rd attempt? still... depressing, didn't know how to get the folds in neatly and firmly... the paper gets much too complicated and too thick to mold... perhaps i should try a bigger piece of paper.. but where do u get a paper larger than mahjong paper!!!???? haha probably need about 1.5 ~ 1.6 m to fold nicely... irritating


Satoshi's folding
