Yay~ I got my first 1:18 Kimi Raikkonen model today!

The previous one I had was a small model (1:43 I think) of Kimi in McLaren, which is sitting pretty in my display at home lol… I was accompanying my bf to the shop today, but as the Red Bull he wanted wasn’t in yet, he didn’t buy anything. Instead, I was the one who bought LOL! I think Ferrari’s disaster yesterday made me want it more…

Was thinking if I should buy the F2007 model (which is the car Kimi drove to his World championship title last year), or the F2008 model (which is this year’s car, most likely not world champion lol~ but his car no. is “1″ which is special to me, and this year’s color is metallic red instead of orange). In the end, I went for the latter, since there’s also a nice pic of him behind plus a signature… After everything, it costs me $115. Man, that shop owner had taken a photo with Kimi and Hamilton too, and even had them signed… So lucky!

Met up with Kat yesterday to collect this mag from Kino. Although it’s black and white, it’s again the “glossy” material, and there are 2 pages with loads of smiling faces of Takki. A pity the scans always don’t turn out as well as they look…

OMG~ I was trying to catch the 15s CMs when I saw the coverage by Fuji TV on the Singapore Grand Prix, and guess who was there live reporting from the paddock? It’s T&T’s dai senpai, Kondo Masahiko! Yes, Matchy-san is in Singapore! Can’t actually imagine any Johnnys in Singapore lol…

And seems like Takki is back from Cambodia! Seems like he took part in a project to build a school there, for the TV show “Gyoretsu no dekiru Horitsu Sodanjo” (行列のできる法律相談所) shown on Sundays, NTV, 21:00~21:54. Still no official announcement on this yet though so we’re not sure when he’ll be on… (Thanks, nyanco, for the info! :-)

I’m putting the CMs for Versions 2 to 4 in this same post :)

Grabbed and converted the 30s versions from the flash site. Takki didn’t appear in any of the other Making Ofs, so I’m not posting those. You can view them at the official website if you’re interested. Thanks to aamyssh for the HQ versions! :)

The NISSIN “Nicchin” CM page has been created, but as the campaign only just started, I’m quite apprehensive of posting the downloads on that page, so here it is, in this separate locked post.

Thanks, KAT, for scanning these.

Myojo – November 2008
Apart from the pic I’ve used for my header, I also like the tiny pics of Takki fishing, and the one where he’s biting the pen :) Haha~ I love looking at his bare legs!!! Takki in that denim berms and slippers looks so cool! hahaha~ And of course that pic in the centre of the 3rd scan~ his smile!! ♥

Popolo – November 2008
Love the pic where Tono’s holding the camera! So sweet smile… And that small pic in the 3rd scan where Tono sits on the bed and has such a lovely smile ♥

Watching the practice session of Formula One now! LIVE in Singapore!!! The actual race is on Sunday… and I think I’ll be watching the qualifiers on TV tomorrow too. A pity I won’t be there to experience it LIVE (and to maybe catch a glimpse of Kimi zoom past! lol~)… But ahhh, it’s the first ever F1 race here! And the first ever night race in F1 history~ so excited ne!!! Go, Kimi!!! Ganbatte!! My colleague got tickets for the walkaround on Sunday ne~ but I think I shall be contented with watching it LIVE on TV :) Seeing them race in Singapore feels so… special! Just a couple of weeks ago, Kat & I were walking along the race track taking pics of the Merlion, Esplanade and S’pore Flyer for the 6th Ann. project!
