Oh wow, has it been three months since I’ve updated the site? Hell, it has also been three months since I’ve touched any model kits.
Gotta rev up the engine again… vroom vroom!

I also like reading novels. I have been for quite awhile now too (since perhaps 12-13 years old). I read almost every night before I sleep. It’s my way of winding down. Lately though, having discovered:
- E-Book readers like Kobo Reader, iBooks and Stanza.
- Goodreads.com which is a social network for book readers
I’ve become quite a voracious reader (about 10 books in the last 2 months). It used to be that I wasn’t sure of the quality of books I see in bookstores so I tend to be more picky in what I read. But with goodreads.com, I can see reviews and have a better idea of whether I’ll invest my time in reading a particular book. With the E-Book readers, it’s much more convenient and I now have a lot more titles to choose from. No need to find space to stock the books either since everything is electronic. 
And with E-Book readers installed my smartphone, I can basically read anywhere now.
I’ve added a Goodreads widget on the right side of this site which basically stores a database of all the books I’ve read since I can remember. If you explore it a bit, you’ll realize I’m actually quite a well rounded reader although I’m partial to Techno-Thrillers. The only reason Sci-Fi ranks so high in my database is because I used to read a lot of Star Wars and Battletech novels. Mispent youth. 
Yeah updates have fallen on the way side but it’s for good reason. For one thing, I’ve been busy at work. For another I’ve had a bout of fever that won’t go away. I’ve also gone on holiday with the kids for almost a week.
I haven’t really done much modeling either so it’s not just about not updating the site.
Anyhow, I’ll be ramping up soon again. Yes, endless WIPs will continue real soon.
Nope not the Middle East :p . Hong Kong actually. Didn’t bring my laptop so updates will be sporadic if at all this week (wish I can do a travel log).
More to come though when I get back!
OK… almost all the kit previews are now back online. *^!&@^%-ing hacker jackass.
Grow a pair of balls you maggot! I hope your dick falls off since it’s clear you’ve got tons of time to do other stuff than to actually use it…
It all began after I took a short web design course over a summer in 1998. I was also into abit of scale modeling then. So I did what came naturally; do up a website about scale modeling. And wow, more than 10 years already and I’m still doing both of them.
So take a trip with me down memory lane as I present here a short history of Rocket Punch.

Two things have happened.
One, I’ve ‘promoted’ my site to the main URL: http://www.rocketpunch.biz. The original http://toys.rocketpunch.biz will serve as a redirect.
Two, I’ve integrated the website into WordPress, which means the site is finally running off a database with pages dynamically generated after 5 long years of manual coding 
. Yes. I’m finally in the 21st Century.
The site is based on the K2 theme which I’ve modified to suit my needs. I’ve also integrated Highslide JS which is a superb piece of coding for images.
Most of the old content are still being slowly switched over to this format so pardon the dust and the sections which still do not have any content in them. This is particularly true with the Works section.
I’m also still figuring out the ins and outs of WordPress and in particular, its limitations. So far the compromises required aren’t too bad.
