More Than Meet The Eyes

well well well , went to watch again Transformer movie on thursday midnight show at Sunway , and ... lost count of how many times watched. The thing is we knew friday there will be new arrival stocks from Hasbro , maybe is jus another motivation for us to wathc it so that can push more sales.


The funny thing is , Transformer movie had shown for more than 1 month , and according to UIP , it aready broke their new records , and still same everyday , the cinema yet still fulled , OMG .. how many times they wanna watched.


When the movie out , and the toys figure out at the same time , and if anyone of them hoping to get nice tranformers toys at Parkson , T R 'us" or Jusco , then basically u can forget about it. unless you wanna wait at the shop wait for the shoppin mal to open n start grabbing those toys. The only way you can get the nice transformers figure is from the toy shop .. of coz , in malaysia, the toy industry is not as strong as like HongKong , Japan or even Singapore , even 10 fingers can count of how many toys shops in KL . But most of the time , the toy shop would have increase the price for more than 50 or even 100% ...... so , for the toys lover , u either take it or leave it.


when 1st time came to meet james a this guy deal business in different ways, he always believe customer service and maintain a good relationship wit his customers . one of the reason the collectors like to drop by his place so much because he sells his itmes follow the market retails price , and of coz for few more reason ......


everytime when new stocks arrived , for sure you can see lots of lots of people willing to line up and cramp his shop, and as usual , everyone will have same shout out " i come first ... i come first wor... " . But this time , he figured out a nice n fair play .... numbering system. KNN, see people go for toys shop buy toys , but this is first time see people have to take number to buy toys . u think bank meh ......




don be surprise when the number system were put on his shop that previous night , the next day , some collectors even will drop by at his shop at 830am jus to get the number 001 . and slowly .. people jus keep on coming and for those who get number 50 and above .......... errrr, chances getting the toys 50/50. or mayb empty handed.... wahahaha

ohh.. c'mon laaa , number taken yet stil wanna camp at the shop , although the stocks will be coming noon , and they know they can least go for drink or breakfast , but they rather stay in the shop for "toys cultural exchanging " . the question is .... do their boss know this people really taking MC or annual leave or might jus sneak out from office telling the boss " I Go to Bank first yaaa....... " then, when someone called them , wat will their respond ??? " Ahhh YAAAA.. FRIDAY SO MANY PEOPLE AT BANK.. THE Q SO LONG... SOMEMORE TRAFFIC JAM.. GOT SEMBAYANG MAAAA...... " wahahahaha....

Finally long waited for the stocks arrived , total of ...... errr , i dont know how many boxes there , but i knew that was only half of the stocks for that day :P

After the stocks loaded out , people hands getting itchy ... eyes getting shinny ... hearts beats getting faster. and even some collectors there volunteer to be the guardian of the stock keeper. :P

well , since today so many new arrival stocks and it might be a mess , James thought better still all get prepare , at least when number called , and the buyers jus say what they wans .. then all packed n can be delivered.

However the number called until 30 something and already 3/4 of the toys were almost gone , and for the rest of the late comers , well .... will have to come back the following week and check what's new stocks coming. and this time , i'm sure the fans will know what to do and wat time to be there to ensure them get a nice number . or to be safe , can always check on ToyWorkers updated blog. :)

woo hooo .. James , do i get any FREE toysssSSSSsss for helping u do promo... :P

Addicted to secret

i wasnt a real fans of Jay Chow , but i always admire him as a great composer , or a talented musician. 不能說的秘密 or known as Secret , his latest first film directed by himself , no comment on that movoie coz havent watch yet. But the songs aready hit me hard , another superb composing by Jay and his partner 方文山 in Lyrics , both of them had been working together for ages , and they were also known as the greatest combination in song n lyrics , if u can notice Jay all album , basicaly u can see both of thier names.


well , basically , recently , actually and continuosly been listening to this song , in short about the song is like after some broke off in a relationship n later found little regretment.. and then the rest know wat's happen la...... conclusion. Cherish what you have now and do appreciate it... for real. :). Here to share this song wit u all of u.




詞:方文山 曲:周杰倫

冷咖啡離開了杯墊
我忍住的情緒在很后面
拼命想挽回的從前
在我臉上依舊清晰可見
最美的不是下雨天
是曾與你躲過雨的屋檐 oh~~
回憶的畫面
在蕩著秋千 夢開始不甜
你說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
又何必去改變 已錯過的時間
你用你的指尖 阻止我說再見
想象你在身邊 在完全失去之前
你說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
或許命運的簽 只讓我們遇見
只讓我們相戀 這一季的秋天
飄落後才發現 這幸福的碎片
要我怎麼撿

Robbie turn 30

Last year Robert birthday we gave him a total surprise at his house , since after that , everyone take turns to have surprise on individual special birthday , and it seems time really fliesss , is another one year now , back to robert's birtdhay again ... opps, is 30th birthday , since we had so much surprise idea for everyone for the past year that we really ran out of surprise idea , and we decided why don jus don give any more surprises and that already makes a surprises.



As robbie wanna had a dinner at Paris restaurant with a group of his closest gang , with normal dishes he ordered . After that , the rest of then suggested to drop by my house since is the nearest to the restarant , at least they can have a drunken night or mahjung session , and also soonyean was kind enough to bring his new pirated Simpson DVD.

well , let me guess , robert is either .....
A. " Yeaaa , i turn 30 already" or B. " KNN, bye bye 20... "























Mervs was so sweet enough to make robert a birthday cake , well don ask me what cake is that , i cant explain it out , or we call it 'Mervs Secret Recipe' , he n joan spent 2 days experimenting baking not jus a lovely cake for Rob , but also making effort baking to the rest of 14 people who hopefully nothing goes wrong wit them , no worries ... the cake was sweet yet delicious , can i do pre-order for my birthday huh....





Lastly all the gang having family photo, and that's also including "Snowy" also wanna in the photo as well .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBBIE BENG .....

Malaysian Driver

This is something kinda angry about where don know how do the driver get his/her drving license. It was peak hour at subang and .. c'mon laa. jus a tiny bloody car and somemore took 2 packing places. can't they be more considerate.

Malaysia , i think the accident rates getting worst n worst , and especially when u read the newspaper this morning , can see how the bus driver drove and caused 16 death. i jus got curious, what are them thinking when they drving the bus , don they know , people lives all depends on the driver. I mean driving is one hell of the problem in malaysia , not to mention even on parking problem.. the same....

I think these days i drive even more careful and slower ... and for those who are impatient kept on honging at me.. MY God...c'mon laaa

Something i owed for long

There are 2 lovely gals i owed them to much and too long enough that i don think i wanna waste my time anymore , or it will be a guilt to me for not blogging them :) .


once i heard about Olivia Ong , a Singaporean jazz singer that went to japan started her music career , her song touches me so much that i wanna get her album so badly. But only able to get it at Singapore. However thanks to one of my lovely friend from Spore ,Lilian ... infact it was an unexpected surprise to me when she came to KL one day and gave me the 2 cd's. It was the touches moment for me of what she did , and everynight Olivia songs flows inside living hall. I promise whenever i go Spore next time , for sure will call u as my tour guide :D

***************************************************************

The second gal i wanna mentioned which also special to me is my lovely cousin Helen , we used to be very very very close when we were young , and even now we still very close to each other. She's the one who i followed her to kindergarten without telling my parents. Although she's one year older than me , but she really take cares of me.


The happy moment came this January when she got married at KL tower , together wit her husband Esmond. Wat so romantic surprised was both of them came out wit their own ice-cream brand "Helmond" ...awwww , that's too damn sweet. There are 3 favour , durian , manggo and jackfruit , and in near coming future there will be few more favour coming out soon ... interested can get from me for free tasting or anyone if interested as getting distributors , well .... there's always an opportunity :D

Giovanni Calabrese

" You are Kraaaazzy ......... "





" Is Impossible .......... "




this is what Giovanni had been saying for the past two weeks , Giovanni or what we called him Gio as his short form, easy to remember, a Italian YE ( Youth Exchange ) student that stayed in our place for 2 weeks. All this while we had hosted many Japanses girls , but not a single boy . After both my sister went to Australia , i thought mayb i can host someone not from japan but mayb from Europe , As also my parents will be free at this moment even if i'm not around , hehehe....





Gio is very hyperactive , as the first day he came , i thought he can't speak english, as i for sure not a single italian , however we tried hard to communicate wit hands and every single movement at the beginning, then things going smooth within few days , and even pretty well going wit my parents. The best things he enjoy definately is seeing pretty gals and get to know the new friends, as for me ... a driver of Mr.Giovanni :P







The day he arrived , wanted to visit the KL tower n KLCC where he heard about it so much from Italy , so we made a early morning trip down to town together with James.








Gio went for the Lions club meeting and having banners exchange with the Lions Club President.





The Next day , went to KL tower , also had a ceremony , cultural exchange wit the monkeys, Gio giving out the Italian chips to the monkey.

say cheeezeeeeeee.......

haha , i had hired a Chef from Italy making some nice delicious spaggetti n pasta. From the way he made pasta and spaggetti , is totally not the same method as wat we did in malaysia. Luckily he also gave out the secret recipe for making the real italian food , guess wat .. the secret recepi is actually written on the apron :D





And the happy moment for him is to invite all the new friends he knew in malaysia over for a lovely dinner. and Surprisingly that , my dad don even like to eat much spaggetti n pasta , but the way Gio cooked , dad ended up ate few plates.

Soonyean : " Be patient , my young apprentice ....... "

Giovanni : "Yes Master ....... "

Thanks for SoonYean aka The Mahjong King , giving out free private lessons how this games work, and Gio is so concentrating and also being a good apprentice , writing down in his note book of every single rules and regulation that soonyean taught him . And my dad even gave him a set of mahjong to him back to Italy. hmmm.. i think later on Italy will famous for mahjong all becoz of Giovanni. mayb he can starts with " Giovanni Mahjong club "

weiwei , shah and chienchien joinning us for dinner , and as usual the menu more or like the same , sweet n sour pork and lemon chicken is his favourites fooooood.

Gio is trying his best to use chopstick everytime we went for dinner , don be surprise his chopstick skills is improving. No worries , already gave u some chopsticks back home to practise , till next time we'll see your results.

i think the gal would rather punch him as he was kept on asking hugs n kisses , well as this is their culture. But i think the guys here would like to punch him as well as we didnt manage get anything even we know the gals for so long... KNN.....

However , we really have a great time having you around in our family, and as what u promise will be back in a year time, we welcome you ..... please, bring some frens over , especailly gal... the guys here need hugs n kisses n love too ... as it will be more meaningful as in "the cultural exchange " :D

August Thoughts

well , is nice that now already august , mid july until the last day seems a busy month. And at least i have one week rest before goin for another new projects soon.


I need to have a short weekends break , need to spend time with my parents , though we stay under one roof , but i hardly seen my mom in July , but only called her n talk on phone :P . Dad's been asking me if needs any help from him , thanks ... you just spedn your time with your wife ya. Grandma been slighty better , at least she begun to opened her eyes , yet cant talk .... Poor snowy had not been eating for the past few days after she lost her daughter 2 weeks back , i knew how she felt .......


Merdeka month , thought of getting the project for merdeka parade and show , but failed ... mayb we still needto brush on our company, wil target for next year 2008. However didnt really fell dissapointed , but can be added little extra hapiness as i will be expanding my business , setting up my own factory , we came out wit the name called ....... " Absolute Production Sdn. Bhd " .. hahaha. As the factory mainly used to produce more n more robots suits , and transformers projects will be keep on goin until year 2009 , the 2nd series. Besides , not jus robots , but also to build different kinda probs n stuff.


hmmmm , as times goes by , i think is time to plan for 2008 , is it way to early ??? don think so huh , like ppl always like to quote " Fail to plan is to plan to fail ". However , things need to be sacrifice , too many ..... especially i had kinda long not out wit my buddies for eating session , movie sessions , and most important , travel session. Hope u guys still with me ya.


When the opportunities comes , grab it ... like Witwicky motto " No sacrifice , no victories " . But i still miss u guys a lot. :)

The Barbie princess cake was from Just Heavenly , once thanks again Nigel for making such lovely cake , after the cake out , everyone sang birthday song , everyone took photo of the cakes , and then the cake being cut n served , people were fall in love wit the taste of the yummy chocolate favour cakie. One day before the event , i have to collect from nigel place since they don open on sunday , and made me have to clear all the stuff inside my fridge .

Dancing Bumblebee

In Transformers movie , the guardian bumblebee for Sam sure looks damn cute , and before the movie everyone was complaining about bumblebee for not being himself as in genaration 1 bumblebee , that's the wagon instead of camero. But after the movie , bumblebee tends to be very famous coz of his outstanding performance , he don't talk , but he can dance , he can pee-pee to human , he can transformed to new Camero 2008 , he even put on his tears even break apart at the end ......... if there's "Transformer AWARD " among all the robots..

BUMBLEBEE .................

Lunch at Yik Kee, Karak

Early morning me and Foo sending Giovanni , my YE ( youth exchange ) from italy to his 2nd host family which is located in Pahang. (well, will blog about that guy later ) .


After sending him we decided to back to KL , but then we intended to have our lunch at Karak , a small town which filledwith lovely food. I almost forgot when is the last time me and Foo travel out-station hunting for food. Me n foo love to travel to other states all the time when we were in our work, of coz not forgeting food also , usually we love to hunt for half bolied eggs wit hainan bread for tea time , from north till south malaysia.


ok ok ... so , back to Karak , we stopped by a restaurant called Yik Kee , for sure is not the same as the one at KL. When you reached Karak town, can be easily identified.

What made me most wanna try is the Yam pastry ( wu kok ) , and th restaurant famous Durian Pastry. The Yam pastry , one thing really i look into it is the Yam weather hos soft , and i can guarantee that this is also one of the finest n bestest Yam pastry i had tried. And for the durian pastry , i not sure about others , but for sure this is my first time, and the taste ..Ma..ma..miaa .. that's why Foo also bought 4 for his families n i bought extra 2 :D , it is best if can eat it in hot.

here is wat the boss recommanded us , one of the famous wantan soup , infact they had a big prawns wrap up. and later realized everyone came into the shop do ordered each self a bowl of wan tan soup.

since we are not too hungry , We ordered just a plain duck noodle for 2 person , infact , the duck was way too crispy that i dont actually love to eat duck , but this plate of duck noodle really made me irresistable.

after the lunch , felt little unsatisfied , so might as well we did some take away of the durian paste. I think if next trip i do go to east coast , for sure i will drop by for lunch , OR alternate ways is to go to their other branches , that is the main branch in Karak, they have others branches in Klang Valley , which i think i might go there for a try in near future.

July's Thoughts

2007 , half year gone , what had i achieve so far , at least i need to have self check for myself. Looking back to my List , things had been goin on as scheduled.


1) About Lifestyles , at least i still commit to myself , my team n my boss (kekeke) where helping them as usual and least meeting them one a week for gathering and group check. And this does not affect my income although it had been slightly reducing, but hey.. least i still got royalty to pay my car n my condo. ( checked )


2) when i started my new company A.P.E , i didnt axpect to done it so big , as usual , mayb jus supplying bands for wedding function ,supply to some events company , but don kow when , and have to thanks my partner, Shah, came into the company , and don know how or since when we started to get involved in more projects , some are really big company and i totally jus like dreaming , and what came to unexpecteation is to involved in the Robotcon events , and then started to give A.P.E another new dream n targets. ( checked )


3) Travel , is wat i love to do , and planned to do annualy, regardless where , local or other countries. And supposingly i planned to go japan this year but then later i found that for the past few years i had been having too much fun ,and is time to do something different. which i had to focus on A.P.E ( un-checked )


4) health concious is something my family always kept mentioned to us, well, even weiwei also always keep on reminding me, not to forget always she will tell me stories wat happen at hospital and the death caused by high blood or diabities these days no more old people but the younger had the privaliege too. and of coz i knew how important it is , and i don say i'm 100% healthy , but at least i still remain my activities, went for Kiara hills walk or jog least 2 to 3 times a week , and glad that now finally found someone who can walked along with, and also my mission to help him to loosen some weight . ( checked )



However there's also few unforseen incident happened , it was really a challange for me when my grandma hospitalised suddenly and in coma, and it was the day before the robotcon events. And all our family was in a panic situation , especially my dad , knowing how he felt , been doin some talking to him , hope he can be more stronger and as a elder brother among of his 6 , somehow he is tough ..... and started from that moment , i felt like i have even bigger responsibilties , a lot of things struck to my minds in this short period . i know is not nice feeing to lost someone , and many of the times we don wish to happen , but somehow at the age of 80 .. there's nothing we can do when seeing her lying on the bed. Doc did his best we knew .... now , is jus waiting for time. but as what our family had meeting on it and to understand the situation , and also to prepare for it.......


well , lastly .... failed my japanese intermediate 1 exam .. OMG... no excused for this. KNN ..... :D

TV9 Transformed into No.2

Got a call from Toy Wokers , they being invited to Cinelessure ..AGAIN by TV9 , reason ??? Since TV9 having a private Transformers screening , they invited Toy Workers there to set up the booth to display the toys , infact turned out all toys were sold out 70% . However i was honor being invited by Toy Workers where allowing APE-D-Bots to be there as apperance and also for the lauching of their turning into No2 station in nationwide TV





i think this is the how many times i also forgot i steped into cineleisure for the past 1 month , happ as well to involved into transformer events, even more happy to watched again for FREE.. i think include this one will be my 4th time ... and i know few more to come. These days we been memorising the script almost to nearly 80%.

And i must say , from today onwards i will pay more attention to Tv9 , so surprising that Tv9 turned to be Malaysia 2nd largest station view by nationwide , followed by TV3.

well, i don mean to be rude , who says toys only for kids or guys , some of the pretty ladies here also bought their favourite toys , and what even more surprised they say " i wanna hold this around in arms , telling people where i bought it ".. phewww.. free advertising for Toy Workers , and infact , Toy Workers shop's reputation had now even grow higher , much much higher . You know wat to do la later, dai lou ......

Again , this is what my next project will be transformed ......shortly .....

Leo KLCC turned 10th

" another 10 years passed , is a miracle, and i'm sure our club will still make another miracle in 10 years "


That's roughly my sms quote when MinHan message asking me send something for the club. i thought mine was short , but CheeYee was even shorter than mine. Guess who's the longest message sent.... non other than Father Robert Heng, Amen . i think non of us managed to finihed reading Father Robert message... :P ( mind to write again show us ahh )

i have to say the food there was great as i took the fish set with mashed potatoes , salad wit cheese. i think i was too extremely really hungry that when the food came i jus ate n forgot to snap teh lovely pic. i think for food bloggers even how hungry they still will snap photo huh.. don they ????? so, i still not qualified a food blogger. wahahaha.....


the environmen there was indeed very cozy and i would say is a lovely place for gathering, small gathering i mean , and this short lovely evening really turned up a meaningful eveing to the club.

The most lovely band , Elaine n Soonyean , if i tell u guys the had nothing ... u have to believe me, they are really nothin.

NO no.. honestly, we are really playing chicken games song ... really , trust me

SoonYean came out wit most touching moment , " Late NIght wit Leo SoonYean " ... he gave his 4 pages long speeches. i mean i can felt that is not jus a paper writing, but truely inside his heart. wat caught me most from his word was ' the day we had together in club, the moment we had been cheerish , the fun , the laughters ........ " . i was so touched n almost wanna tears drop n went to hug him... what i can say ,Soonyean although you didnt see him much attending the club meeting, but he sue is the man behind the club supporting the youngs one.... stay the spirit n fire on ya.

Leo CheeYee , our 4th Past President wit her lovely baby n hubby along to the anniversary dinner.

The Young and Old groups of Leos , together we stand ... more stronger.

the lovely cake from Just Heavenly , is marvellous .

10 years .... my god , cant believe we had gone through 10 years. And i believe KLCC Leo will still remain as strong as before even though in another 5 years.

Transformers Premiere

The day been waiting for , Transformers .. more than meet the eyes.


was excited about this day premiere on 27th instead malaysia showcase it on 28th.

Even benfore the show started , can see all the transformers die hard fans waiting impatienty for the show to starts.


since is a premiere, the cinema did a very tight security , not allowing phone ,camera or even laptop to go inside. When the show started , all the fans were clapping hands and shouting , as i think all the people in the hall had the same common.


at the first sence , the first robot to be in transform is Blackout , Oh my god... as soon as the forst tranformation, again ,the transformers fans were shouting n clapping hand for it .. and of coz goes same to me as well. and after that for almost 15 minutes , don know why.. i jus cant hold my tears , and even my whole body were sweating , this is the moment been waiting for actually.. since last year been counting down .


Infact, everytime , every robots that appear , the crowds cheers n clapped , every robots that transformed the crowds cheers n clapped , when Optimus Prime first appeared, everyone cheers n clapped , when opitmus prime change to robots mood , everyone cheers n clapped . when they heard they say about " Autobots , Roll out "... " One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall".... " More Than Meet The Eyes " , goes the same , the crowd cheers n clapped , and of coz from that every single moment, i jus not me anymore , i just join in the crowds.





Tranformers movie will hit another block buster not jus in Malaysia i guess .. and u can imagine in TransMy there are over 1000 fans members, for wat i heard from few feedback of the members, minimum they will watch it at least 5 times .. well, i think it will break the recored of Spiderman 3 .... and for sure goes same to me , i will watched more than 5 times as well.. or 10.

Rise of The APE-D-Bots

It all started this April , when i really decided to build my own 'Transformers' , i mean not jus for building for the sake of fun , but also hope to get something in return , in near future or far , or this already been one of my company project.



All this while been seeing lots of cosplay ( costume play ) in malaysia especially you can find it among the Star Wars fans , but never seen or heard from Robots . As also since last year knowing transformers movie coming out 2007 , i had been thinking of involving into some projects , related to robot stuff. And once this early april sat down wit few of my friends where there know how to do crafting well. Through out our conversation, we decided to build our own robot costume. The designing and how to be transfomation part were taking into action where everynite we have to bend down n lying down to do real man show of transforming , which non using any so called CGI .... and we actually started our job in Early May



The time were realy againt us , we had less than one month to came out wit the actual suits , we even ask for advice if using computer to designing the transformation , but it needs at least 1 month , but we don have one month before the movie realeased in June. Wit no delays , we had to come out wit a car model which we don wan to get invloved in any car industries as it may took times for them to say yes for building their car shape , and this wat the first actual model we craft.





we have to use a hard foam to cut into a car shape , tell me what is look like , it might look like a proton from a point of view .. but infact we took the model of a Evo iv + my wira ........



the cutting of foam was a fast progression , the only things that slightly time draggin was putting the composit to the foam , after it took least 2 days to let the compisit dry ... and moreover we haveto put on least 4 layers to that it will make it harder and stronger. that already took me for almost 1 week to finish this section . Later came to polishing the car and watering , this one have to put times n effort to it as to ensure the car is total flat and smooth enough.




Then the painting of the car was indeed not complicated but yet not easy as well, as same way , we have to painted for few layers to it. After that is to cut off the car into few pieces for their easy way of transform.










When the car done 1 week before the Robotcon , we had few of trials n error , and was to our surprise to manage to finish it on time. BUt i would say one thing for sure , we would give 4 out of 10 for this work. If were given 2 more weeks, i'm sure the transformation part will be even greater n nicer. We did try to give a name for it .. many funny names came out, but till the end, came to our aggrement , as this is under Absolute Pleasure Entertainment project ,we name it

Stories way back to April , when i decided to built the suits, i don wanna jus built it, i wan to make something difference to my company , what so specialty compare wit others events that i involving besides than wat others did , supplying bands to wedding or annual dinner stuff.

The first person that came across my mind is UIP , coz they produce this movie , and also licenced for it. i thought i can get strongly support by them. Infact when i first met up wit them, they were highly amaxed of wat i'm doin , jus that thye think my robots doesnt came along related to Transformers movie ,Yes is a robot costume, interesting ... but sadly is not related to movie. However the UIP didnt shut the door immeadiately , when they told me , do u know someone is organising a RobotCon in June ....( woo hoo, sunshine..sunshine ) . that's were UIP get me in touch wit Raymond , one of the organiser of the events, and i'm proudly n happy to say that raymond do help me a lot and giving me the chance for a space to slot into this events.

Since the management say no cars allowed in the mall , so i have to ask APE-D-Bots go to car park look for a space for himself.

Building up a robot always a dream of mine .. jus that never thought my 2007 plan running as wat i scheduled. And not jus building a car , but in near future , few more suits will be built , ( so that it wont be so loney for jus one suit, hahahah ) .

I'm happy that few car industries which i had been walking in to them selling them this idea , and they were totally shocked of wat i created. and to Citron car , they used to have the robots ad where you can find it at YouTube , were amazed of it as well . i think for custome renting for robots , u know where to find now. jus give me a little time , and by next year RobotCon 2008 , they wont be jus one APE-D-Bots.
