Two weeks ago the company I worked for moved office. Our new office is so close to my apartment that I had thoughts to bike to work. Thoughts became a want, a want became words I blurt out during lunch session, and the words became the peer pressure I succumb to.
Just kidding. I really wanted to try biking to work and so I did. I was caught in a heavy rain the very first day I biked and spent that day in a wet pair of jeans in an air-conditioned room.
Please interpret the two paragraphs above as my cynical sense of humor. I really enjoy avoiding crowded MRT.
I will post some photos of my bike soon. It a transforming bike! With 3 forms no less! That's half of Sixshot's forms!

Onto the progress of my otariiman life.
Recently I finished watching Gundam OO season 2. Even though I enjoyed it better than season 1, I can't help thinking that it missed so much potential. I start to think that this is a characteristic of a Gundam series. A lot of potential storylines/conflicts/interesting exploration in the beginning of the series only to be killed off by some weird/stupid/unsatisfying plot progress or even abandoned altogether (such as Kati & Kujou's past).
Anyway, I predictably fell in love with Gundams all over again. OO Gundam + OO Raiser look so goodddd... I like Cherudim with its armor bits and just love Seravee/Seraphim trick. On the other hand, I don't understand why Arios is in season 2 at all. Most of the time Arios is either out of the action (e.g. guarding Celestial Being's escape pods) or just shooting generic units.
And I absolutely loathe what Graham became. There's another perfectly fine potential totally wasted.
As OO season 2 just ended, I had thoughts of drawing a (thin) fanart book for it this year. (I'm typing my thoughts here with the hope the same cycle I described above to repeat itself.) I had a scene idea for each Gundam; but I don't know if I can finish enough pages on time (i.e. before November).
