I gave in to temptation

After a long love and hate relationship.. I finally give up.. Can't take the temptation anymore.. On a faithful day 6th June 2015.... I lost the battle.....and sucumbed to it.
It was also the feeling of satisfaction once I called Paradigm Infinium and asked them to hold it. Again... before I call PI one final decision .. if they are out of stock.. the I'm not ment to get it....


"Hello... PI can I help you"
" Do you have Star Wars Imperial Assult?"

After a long silence which seems like internity.....

" Yes We have... BUT....."

let me check if we have it physically in our store."..... and the answer was a yes..
So I went to PI and got it....

Today 7th June 2016. It was also Kal'el Birthday....I had the pleasure of unboxing it.. My mind blewed up. WOW.. art work was great...

What I was ......

One of the best feature was that there was a character pack to be added in the game : Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker...

At a glance the miniature looks a little rough.. Plan to file certain part of the miniature. Later will recolor it...

As for the game play.... I have yet to try...with my kids.. but will soon try.

Safe Heaven

Strong safe-haven demand for gold sent the precious metal soaring to a 12-month high above $1,260.00 Thursday. 
Another big sell off in world stock markets sent investors and traders scrambling into the gold market. 
There are growing concerns about the collective health of the major world economies. Gold prices have risen around 15% the past six weeks. 
April Comex gold was last up $54.00 at $1,248.60 an ounce. 
March Comex silver was last up $0.523 at $15.81 an ounce.

There was keen worldwide investor and trader risk aversion Thursday as most world stock markets suffered sharp losses. 
Falling crude oil prices, worries about the European financial system and weak overall world economic growth prospects are combining to spook the world marketplace. 
The Stoxx Europe 600 index was down nearly 4% Thursday.
 Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was also down around 4% on the day. 
China and Japan markets were closed Thursday for holidays. 
The Japanese yen has soared against the U.S. dollar on safe-haven demand from market participants in the Asian region.

U.S. stock indexes were sharply lower in afternoon trading Thursday.

Market watchers closely scrutinized Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s testimony on the U.S. economy before a U.S. Senate committee Thursday. 

Yellen mentioned that negative interest rates in the U.S. cannot be ruled out, which further fueled the gold market bulls. Her remarks to a U.S. House committee Wednesday were at least partly blamed on selling pressure in world stock markets overnight. Now, many are doubting the Fed will be able to raise U.S. interest rates this year, as had been its intention until the recent turmoil in world markets.

In overnight news, Sweden’s central bank cut its main interest rate even farther, to minus 0.5% from minus 0.35%. The move was not expected and added some anxiety to the world marketplace.
