BONJOUR!!!
Welcome to the 8th, as well as last episode of the Building Series in Mad Season 1!!! *SOBX*

To end this series with a bang, Ving gonna build a big model structure and bring France to you!!!
Yesss the Eiffel Tower….!!!
This is actually easier to fix up as compared to the Crystal Skull 3D Puzzle which I attempted in the previous episode.
Basically, you just need to follow the instructions (or rather, matching numbers) provided in a booklet which comes with the pack.
Punch out the pieces and start fixing them together!
Base of the tower…
Middle part of the tower!
Now the top part of the tower!!!
T A D A H H H ! ! ! ! !
Some Bearbrick guys are excited to climb onto the Eiffel Tower!!!
I’m loving the presence of it in my room!!!
It’s a rather tall model, so you’ll require some space for it if for display purpose.

With this, Ving hereby concludes the end of Building Series in Mad Season 1!!!
A million thanks to everyone who had supported this series!!!
Hope you’d enjoyed all the episodes as much as I had while coming up with the posts!!!

Do stay tuned to the last episode of the Beauty Series which will be out on Wednesday!!!
Thank you!!!! *hugs Eiffel Tower*

H~E~L~L~O~O~O~~~ *creepy tone*
Welcome back, and to the 7th Episode of Building Series in Mad Season 1~~~
Have you built something using your own hands lately~?~?~?~

For today~~~
Ving recently bought this 3D Crystal Skull Jigsaw Puzzle to try out~~~
1st thought: I’m sure it’s not gonna be that difficult, since there are only 49 pieces for this puzzle.
Here’s Adios with the Skull that’s waiting to be fixed up.
I didn’t even have the chance to finish saying “Chicken feet!”, to be proven that my initial thought had been so wrong.
Adios ‘supervising’ me~~~
After a much longer time than what I’d initially expected I’d have taken to finish fixing it, I managed to get the whole thingy out~~~~~~~~~ *shagged out face*
T~A~D~A~H~H~H~~~
Here’s another picture which Adios took with The Skull.
Verdict:
Everyone should still go buy and give it a try~!~!~
It’s kinda like a stimulus for the brain ha~ha~ha~
Rather fun and challenging~~~

Do stay tuned for the 7th Episode of Beauty Series which will be out on Wednesday~~~
Kindly support us~~~~~ Thank you~~~~~~ *caresses a skull with an evil look*

GOOD DAYYY!!!
Welcome back, and to the 4th Episode of Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!

For today!!
Let’s go back to bit of old school (yes again)!
Ving took up the challenge and attempted to build up a Poker House!
I remembered me and my friends used to do that quite often during school days, and challenged ourselves to build it wider and taller.

Instead of using poker cards, I tried to use this Monster High edition of Uno cards.
I love them! Super cool hahaha……
How did it go?
Didn’t succeed!!! BAHHH…… >.<|||

So I decided to try again using normal poker cards…
I’m not sure if it’s coz I’ve butter fingers, or that the cards got too smooth, or the table which I placed the cards on was smooth and shaky, or there’s an invisible gust of wind I didn’t sense of.
It took quite some efforts before I actually managed to even do up one layer for the poker house!!
That was the best I could do it!!!
Not fantastic I know haha but whatever………
At least I still manage to succeed building up a one-room poker house. *smug*

Kindly support us!!! Thankssssss!!!!!! *throws poker cards the gambling god’s way*

KONNICHIWA!!!

Welcome back, and to the 3rd Episode of the Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed checking out all the previous episodes we had so far!!

Ving stumbled upon a Sanrio fair at Takashimaya awhile back, and was elated to find some products of her favourite Sanrio character on discount!! (No. Not Hello Kitty.)
Here’s KUROMI!!!
Some other items which I bought!!
I really like Nanoblock too, so I was so happy when I saw that they were selling Kuromi’s Nanoblock at the Sanrio fair!! Perfect combi for me!!!
So for today!!
Ving will be fixing up Kuromi’s Nanoblock!!!

Here’s the instruction manual provided in the pack.
Not long after…….

TADAH!!!
Super cute!!!
I couldn’t resist taking few more shots of it!
Verdict:
It’s quite easy to fix up, just that you’ll need to be bit careful not to lose any of the pieces as they are kinda tiny.
Another plus point is that in the pack, it does provide you with some extra pieces of the blocks should you happen to lose any.
Start fixing up your Nanoblocks now!!!
Have fun!!!

Do stay tuned for the 3rd Episode of the Beauty Series which will be up on Wednesday!!!

ELLO!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back, and to Episode 2 of the Building Series in our Mad Season 1!!!
Hope you’ve enjoyed the previous episodes of our series so far!!!

For today!!!
Ving attempted to build up this Wooden Watermill from its kit!
I like this type of hands-on toys actually, that requires you to use your brain and common sense while fixing it up.
It was rather popular when I was young (oops did I just revealed my age??) before all the electronic products/toys took over, and cost bit more as compared to present times.
I bought the colored ice cream sticks as well coz I thought of building up a fence around this Watermill for an additional effect.
It reminded me of the times when my Art teacher will tell us to make artworks using ice cream sticks, and have them painted as last time we just used the normal brown colored ones.
Ahhh…. Nostalgia….

Here are the pieces as well as instructions (or the lack there of) for fixing up the Watermill.

While I was building it up along the way, frustration soon set in.
I came to realise that the pieces weren’t cut up according to accurate measurements, so there was actually some difficulty trying to fit them all together properly without the whole thing falling apart.
It did fall apart quite a number of times, after which I had to try and secure them again and again.
So if you wanna buy the exact same piece to build up at home, you might wanna prepare some glue to secure the parts together (although you aren’t supposed to or required to use glue for such models).

Anyways!!
After all the extra unnecessary hassle, I managed to fix it up rather decently.
Ended up I didn’t do up the colorful fence to surround the Watermill, coz this already made me spend quite abit of time.
Will keep the ice cream sticks for next round!!

Verdict:
It’s still a fun process fixing such models up, though there were hiccups along the way.
I’ll still buy other designs to build if I’ve more space in my room haha…..
I might even consider painting them too! For a more personal touch to the final product.

Do stay tuned for our 2nd Episode of our Beauty Series on this Wednesday!!

Finally….. Our Mad Season 1 is ready and up!!!
In this season, we will have 3 different series each week for our viewers, spanning over a period of 8 weeks.
I shan’t reveal the other 2 series as of yet, so do check back here for new updates!! =D

So…. The 1st series will be the Building Series, namely building up different types of items as we go along.
Very hands-on and DIY!

For our 1st episode, Ving will be fixing up this wooden shelf which was bought from a supermarket for only $8.90 after discount!!
So affordable!!
Here are the wooden planks and screws provided in the flat box which they came in.
(Tool box and screwdriver not included.)
After fixing up the dividers of the shelf….
Then adding in the backings for the shelf….
Last step was to screw on the last long wooden plank for the side of the shelf…
And viola!!!
You get a rather solid and stable wooden shelf for you house!
The whole process took only 20-odd minutes for me to complete fixing it up!
SUCCESS!!!
The result of all the screwing (*ahem* pun not intended)……….
If you do not fancy this beech wood kind of color, you can actually get some paint and color it the way you like it to be!
(Which we might actually do it for another episode of our Mad Season series hahaha… *winks*)
Start building up something today!! ^_^
