My name is Bolt. Lightning Bolt.

We stayed overnight at FM and J’s house in Terengganu and then went to the beach house at Mengabang Telipot the next day. It’s an old house which they transported and rebuilt at the beach front. So shabby chic. Really nice.

I just tried to forget and had fun that weekend. I really pushed myself. So I just talked and talked and talked and laughed and laughed and laughed. Ah #@&% it! *whatever* Snap out of it.

I brought this dunny by Travis Lampe from the 2011 series. I needed a bad ass looking one for reinforcement. He’s my lightsaber. 

I like a lot from this 2011 series. There were the Huck Gee zombies, MAD Zombie bikers, Laika Aya Kakeda,  Nature Spirits 64 Colors, and the Gumball by Mr. Frames. I remember going after the Gumball in 2012 since Secret Fresh and Tutto Domani was sold out then. I found an eBay seller and just wanted the regular one. I told KE about it and he bought the pair. His idea was that, well, it’s available and might as well get both. *duh*. So yeah, I have the chase. I really miss talking about my collection with KE. He encouraged me to build a strong collection - even though it was getting quite expensive already. *lol!* I asked him to start collecting dunnys too but he did not want to. He told me he has other stuff to hoard. *lol!* 

Argh! I miss my bruder. He was the only person that I can tell stuff about. He understood me. Oh well.

Travis is stronger than I am.

Went back to travelling for work as soon as I arrived from my birthday week with T. *ugh!* It will be a tight schedule as F and I will just visit an artist for two days at Terengganu, Malaysia to invite him for an exhibition. I was quite happy to meet a new artist and it was a good respite from the humdrums of the local art scene. It is always a pleasure to hear about other artist’s lives and experiences. Makes you realise that the scene is not as small as we would have believed.  

I was still going back and forth between being okay and crazy in the head at that time. I was getting impatient with myself already (until now). I don’t know what to do anymore. Why is it so hard to let go? What is wrong with me? I know I am stronger than this. $@#%!

Aaaah! Let’s jump!

Finally complete!  The parts are strictly from blind boxes too, no eBay shenanigans.  One piece of this figure (10 pieces in all) comes in each 2011 Dunny blind box and then pieces connect together to form a complete dunny figure (the heart is the trickiest part to find).  He also glows in the dark which is always neat.  Reminds me of those magazines where each month you got a new part of a dinosaur skeleton to put together, but you never ever saw anyone complete it because after the first issue the price of the magazine was way too expensive.

Ahhh...warm, fuzzy feelings of nostalgia.
