Popular, i LOVE YOU!
Popular bookstore. Long the bane of many a child as the Assessment Book Centre. Long the plague upon proper magazine connoiseurs. More associated with ruthless communism and confucianism than beneficient consumerism, Popular has made its name. And a gross one at that...
Recent events, however, have completely and utterly changed my viewpoint.
Picture Maisto Custom Shop cars. They are the epitome of modern collectible toys that most Western kids play with. Not something to be expected inside a orientally-oriented shop.
When there with a good friend yesterday, i accidentally stumbled upon:
Chopped VW Bug PINK!
It was the last car that i needed to complete the G-Ridez first release! After seeing my immense excitement (although blind people in India could too), she bought it for me as a belated X-mas present! THANK YEWW! Wah 21/1/06 really was one of the better days of my life...
THEN, after gymming with Nick today, we went down to Bishan J8 for a fantastic beefnoodle lunch. There, the temptations were too great, and i just had to go back into Popular to see their stock.
Lo and behold (and behold, and behold)! I found a BLUE Chevy Malibu SS!
From a Maisto fanatic's post:
Blue is the feeling i'd have without this baby...
Who would have thought that POPULAR, of all places, would be my future place ofvocation mere obsession??
Oh, and salsa rocks! Shake shake shake step stomp!
And, check out my classmate Jessica's online shop, Couture Cornucopia, for cheapish bargains on teenage clothes/accessories! (Only reason im doing this is cause i coined the name :P, and i get commissionary lunches)

Short story on the Blue Malibu -- This one was a short run in release 1.1 and 1.2 -- The Blue replaced the Silver version during the production run for a short period of time -- Not sure how many were made, but it was a toughie to locate !! -- So far the 3 or 4 that have been reported to have been found on the Boards have all come from the K-Mart Chain ( And/or Sears/K-Mart ) -- Looks more and more like these were only in the cases that went to the K-Marts ( Just a guess on my part !! ) !! -- Trying now to get a little more information from Maisto !!
