Super Robot Chogokin

Super Robot Chogkin

The Super Robot Chogokin toy from Ban Dai. The robot reminds me of a toy I used to play when I was a 9 to 10 years old kid. Back then I was a poor student and I had a friend who was rich enough to possess a robot toy. I guessed it was quite expensive because it was metallic, not plastic. It had also a fist that could fire away by depressing a button.  My friend was able to lend me his toy for a night and I could play with it, I was impressed with it but could not afford one.  The similarity between Super Robot Chogokin and my memorable toy was the round body. It was different from transformers toys which are rather rectangle with right angles legs and hands and body.

This current robot has a rather fearful face. I have not read the manga nor seen the cartoon series of this robot though.

Singapore Road Tax Disc

Singapore Vehicle Road Tax Disc

The Singapore Road Tax Disc is obsolete. No more a requirement to display Road Tax Disc on the windshield of a car. Many years later, this will be viewed as a heritage item. In driving a car since 1998, there was only one time when I was stopped by traffic police for inspection of the validity of the road tax. No major concern as I have been paying road tax promptly.
