F.U.K U

I remember sitting at the Q on Harris, discussing over coffee what restaurant Loc was going to host his 18th at. He knew he wanted Japanese, but he also knew that there was budget. There's always a budget. At the end of the day however, I didn't think how much we spent mattered. We just wanted to have fun and have more food. 

Fuku Restaurant Sake and Wine Bar is located at Shop 1103 Level 1 6444 George St Sydney. Food was delicious and it was very nicely presented, however service was slightly inconsistent at times as we had to ask the manager twice or even more on when one of our dishes would arrive. Despite that, the night was one filled with fun and very interesting topics were brought onto the table with Van hushing everyone due to its inappropriate contents. 

May the 4th be with you.

Most of you would know I'm a massive Batman fan. However, I've have only started showing that in recent years and then neglected Star Wars for a while. I stopped talking about it, but what I did not stop is loving it. Today is May the 4th and I wish to share with you a story from my childhood.

When I was about seven to eight years old I remember running into Toys R Us every time my mum took me to Parramatta. I ran to the Star Wars section and picked up this box with Darth Vader and Darth Maul. It was a figure that stood about thirty centimetres tall. Darth Vader had a removable mask and Darth Maul was a two piece figure with his body split into two like how he was sliced by Obi Wan in the prequels. I would beg my mum to buy it. It was a boy's dream to have such an expensive yet awesome figure, but she didn't. She simply told me that it was too expensive and that I had enough toys at home. And literally, I did. I had plenty of toys when I was younger. More than what my sister had when she turned my age. I was a spoilt kid... and probably still am. 

It was only about this time last year in 2013 that I started collecting 1/6th scale figures. Ever since I was young I wanted this figure at this size, but in my mother's eyes they were overpriced and she still sees them that way. I do too. But they bring me joy, knowing that I own a piece of history, especially if the figure is iconic.

This year I received one of the many figures I have bought. I value this piece more than any other, even my quarter scale beast of a Batman. I bring to you Darth Vader; A fallen Jedi and leader of the 501st Legion brought to by Sideshow Collectibles.
