Obituary - My Mom (Che Wah binti Abu Bakar)

 Hi guys,

This is just to let you all know that my mom have passed away last month.

Allahyarhamah Che Wah binti Abu Bakar (1951 - 2021)

She passed away on 4th September 2021, at age of 70 due to multiple complication of organs failure after surgery. She was surrounded by us (me and my siblings) and my Dad until her last moment.

She was born on 28th June 1951 and have fulfilled a wonderful life. She was a sweet gentle mother to us, and a loving wife to my Dad. Like other normal family, we have our own hard times, and she gracefully walked through all of that and raised us well. 

As a nursery and kindergarten teacher, she enjoyed presence of babies and children, and showered them with love as though they are her own.Throughout her 38 years of carreer, she have taken care hundreds of children whom all pursued and obtained bright future after leaving her child care nursery. On her funeral day, quite a number of families and children who have grown up came and gave final respect to her.

She was survived by her husband (Dad), us her children (me and 2 more) and 6 grandchildren (no.7 is coming up early next year).

May God give her peace and rest she deserved. 

I love you Mom.

I missed you.

-------------------------------------------------

For a month since, I have temporarily stopped my hobby activity as a respect to her.

I will resume back this month and gradually back to normal after the grieving passed.

Thanks guys.

Stay safe.

Painting & Gaming in August

 Hi guys,

Hope all of you are healthy.

The Covid cases here are hovering around 20k++ daily....damn, still a long way to go.

As the usual drill, please take care of your health. Wear mask, use sanitizer, do social distancing, and follow SOP.

And before we proceed, I'm wishing you guys a Happy Independence Day!!!! SELAMAT HARI KEMERDEKAAN!!!!!! woot wooot !!!!

OK lets get started.

1) Painting minis

Continuing the WHU theme (and backlog), I've finished another warband; the Ironskull Boyz. These guys were painted in vibrant color like the other two warbands. The intention of painting them bright cartoon-y color is to oppose the bleak, grim & dark mood of the board game...and peep can see better the model position in the photo.

The completed group photos:

Next warband will be the Daughter of Khaine warband.

2) Making minis clipper & holder

I'm not sure what the official name it is, but this 'thing' is widely use by people, especially while airbrushing. As it is quite difficult to get a good ones, I decided to made mine.

This thing really helps when priming the minis. Later maybe I need to purchase the paint handles for better grip during painting.

3) Playing boardgames

This month we (Me, Wifey & Eldest Son) played some as usual. First off I got my new purchase; Happy Little Dinosaur, Here to Slay & Abandon All Artichokes. And obviously we immediately played them.

Then, throughout the month we've also played:

1. The Magic Labyrinth
2. Splendor
3. Ticket to Ride
4. Pandemic
5. Potion Explosion

And as expected, we didn't get our gaming date just for the two of us....as usual.

So until then.

Stay safe guys.

Hobbying in July

Hi guys.

Hopefully all of you are in great condition.

The Covid situation here right now are impossible. Cases are rocketing to 17k++ daily and some places nearby my housing area have been put into Localized EMCO. Luckily my place is not in the list...yet.

So guys...as annoyingly it might be, please follow SOP, maintain physical and social distancing, wear mask and use sanitizer, limit your time outside unless neccessary and please register for vaccination.

PSA done, so now let's get to business.

These are my activities for the month:

1) Building & Painting minis

First of is the Stormcast warband for Warhammer Underworlds. Completing the base game warband after the Nighthaunt last month. 

Next is the Nighthaunt warband. These are the photos with the photobooth (I got one finally wink wink)

Then, I got myslef another set of warbands, the Daughter of Khaine warband & Orruk warband. 

These ones will be next in line for painting works....

2) Building terrain

Specially built for Warhammer Underworlds of course. As the boards have obstacles / blocking area, it is matter of time I will build the terrain for the game...and that time came fast. So using the loose bits & pieces I have in the Shame Pile, I made these. 

The theme for the terrain is The Shrine of Lost Heroes. Basically the WHU warbands found the shrine and now battling each other for supremancy under the watchful eyes of the heroes of the forgotten age.....

And of course like other suckers, I immediately played a session with this terrain...for self satisfaction hehehe

3) Playing board games

Finally I managed to acquired the Dungeon Mayhem Monster Madness set WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Now I have a complete set of the game..my first complete set with all expansion.

Apart from the WHU & Dungeon Mayhem, I also played with the Missus & my eldest son:

- The Magic Labyrinth

- Babies vs Bears

- Potion Explosion

That's all for now.

Stay safe guys.

Until then.
