Saman? Saman!

On a normal day after 6 tiring hours of class, James, Edwin L. and I decided to be a little bit more mischievous than we already are.

BEHOLD, everybody's favourite yellow Satria...

Our Favourite Yellow Satria

... With a little short note on it

James' Handy-work

After the completion of our 'little' prank. I decided to join the owner of the car, and a few other friends for the purpose of seeing his reaction upon reaching his car a nice short chat and a drink.

Later, upon reaching the car after our tea.....

Everybody Gasping in Awe

Without fail, I immediately drew out my phone to take a few shots of their reactional expressions.

"Damn You Edward"

So much for another mischievous normal day in Taylors.

Special thanks to
ME! for coming up with the idea.
James, for writing the Saman.
and... Edwin Loh... because he wanted his name to be here for supplying us with paper.

What the 'Marketing Analysis for Private Investors' (MAPI) assignment does to you.

On Thursday, the 14th of December 2006, we (Nelson's MAPI group) achieved victory through the completion of our MAPI assignment, and with such, I lost my mind.

I.D.10.T.

This post has been removed due to the stupidest reason. But I'll comply anyway before I get irritated.

What IS a Testimonial?

Refering back to all my previous posts on "Friendster trends"

What kind of a F.U.C.K.-ing Testimonial is this?
10 Stupid Things People Do on Friendster?
I Still Couldn't Help it; She Kinda Got My Point
I Just Couldn't Resist Doing This
Cibais like these

I've concluded that, MOST of the Malaysian friendster users are fcuking stupid. I think that at least 80% of the Malaysian users haven't the faintest idea what the hell a bloody testimonial is...

Allow me to 'clarify' the meaning of a 'testimonial'
A testimonial is:-
1. A statement in support of a particular truth, fact, or claim.
2. A written affirmation of another's character or worth; a personal recommendation.
3. Something given in appreciation of a person's service or achievement; a tribute.

Courtesy of The Free Dictionary

Allow me henceforth note, 'things that I do not consider testimonials, in terms of English':-
1. Pictures
2. Symbols that FORM Pictures
3. Anything that ends with 'Stay Cute and Pretty Forever'
4. An instant message, sent in the form of a testimonial (Although I do this)
5. Copied and Pasted testimonials

Oh, and I'd like to add, you CAN'T POSSIBLY write a testmonial for a person whom you don't know. "Hmmm... I dunno Michelle, but I think she's very cute and pretty" is not a valid testimonial either.

In short, after surveying most of the local friendster profiles, I've concluded that friendster is the BEST PLACE to advertise yourself, especially if you can't get enough attention in real life.

What kind of a F.U.C.K.-ing Testimonial is this?

What in the name of...
... Is that even considered a testimonial?
To make things even more awkward, it was from a guy to a girl. Looks like there's more to friendster than meets the eye nowadays.

I'm pretty sure that all of you have already watched, or at least heard of the spectacular, funky, rhythmic Happy Feet.



With the voices of our favourite actors:-
Elijah Wood as Mumble Happyfeet himself
Brittany Murphy as Gloria

Nicole Kidman as Norma Jean
Robin Williams as both Ramón & Lovelace'

Rumour has it, the late Steve Irwin, also had a role to play in the movie, but unfortunately I'm not very sure who he was in the show.

The title for the post is Boogie Wonderland as that's the song played for the climax of the show.

10 Stupid Things People Do on Friendster

Somehow I feel that this post should be renamed "10 things 'Stupid People' do on friendster".

ONE

there is NO SUCH THING as a
friendster
tracker.

it does NOT exist. so quit posting
stupid
bulletins like

"OH-EM-GEEEEE this WORKS!!!"

no, it doesnt.

To the people who have like 25,000
friends,

are you serious?

You're stupid.

Go play in traffic.



THREE

Don't ever post pictures and say

"OMG, I'm so ugly"

"OMG, I'm so fat"

because if you were,

you wouldn't post them.

And if u do ur a freaking mongoloid.



FOUR

Nobody cares about threats over the
internet.

Don't try to act hardcore with the
keyboard.

Fighting online is like racing in the
special
olympics;

even if you win, you're still retarded.

Quit crying

b/c you're not on someones top 8.

who cares?

ITS FRIENDSTER!!!

Stop bitching!!!

I don't accept you as a friend?

Don't send me another request or
message asking

"what's up with you not adding me?"

I don't want you as a friend,

that's what's up bitch!!!



SEVEN

Little 12 year olds who have Friendster

and look like sluts, and act like
whores

go somewhere else

because nobody wants you here.

If you have decided to read this,

you are a true Friendster Friend.

Real friends read their bulletins.

something
like

QUIT BEING A DUMBASS AND DO NOT REPOST
IT

Undergoing a Temporary Sex-Change.

An explaination on my current msn nick.

I honestly can't recall how it started, but, I think it somehow went like this..

Jess: Why are you still single? (I was asked this question at least 18 times in 2 weeks

Eddy: (What kind of a question is that) *shrug* I don't really know.

Jess: Do you even want a girlfriend?

Eddy: Well, yes I suppose. But I don't have the courage nor the confidence to go through the whole 'kau-ing' process. And I find relationships nowadays too overrated that I don't even know whether or not I can sustain girls nowadays. Time is yet another factor that I seem to be lacking at this current moment.

Jess: So basically you don't have the courage nor the confidence la? (Is this all she heard?)

Eddy: Well.......

Jess: ... Then allow me to help you boost your courage and your confidence. Within 3 weeks from now, you must find a girlfriend, and I mean an actual girlfriend, not an actress...

Eddy: (What the....)

Jess: ... And I'm not finished yet. If you fail to get a girlfriend within these 3 weeks, you will henceforth be known as 'Emily' (etc... etc... etc... something to do with me thinking like a girl I think).

So... That's basically how it started.

A fellow colleague heard the story from me and is absolutely fascinated that she has made herself my boyfriend (Will the insanity ever end?).

Furthermore, another colleague (a.k.a. my daughter) also told me off when I used the 'time factor' as one of the reasons why I am still single. Quote, "U so busy meh?! evertime sit at comp can la, find mummy(<-- Girlfriend) cannot meh?"

*sigh*... No head no tail.

To make things more complicated for me, one of my closer female friends ALSO told me off today, but in a more serious tone. This is one of the first few times anyone has called me a hypocrite so it really hit me quite hard.


Maybe I was hit this hard because I never looked at it this way before.

I Still Couldn't Help it; She Kinda Got My Point

Once more, I couldn't help it but to do something 'childish'. But then again, everybody is entitled to their own share of fun.



But then I realised that, 'a testimonial' had gone missing. Perhaps she actually caught on with me. Rofl

I Just Couldn't Resist Doing This.

I'm sorry but I couldn't resist doing this.



You can be a Cibai if you want to, but don't be a Cibai in front of me. I won't give you face.

Cibais like these

Fcuking hell. I bloody hate guys like these. It really makes me sick to the core. It's guys like these that gives guys in general a bad name. (Then again it's partially the girls that generalize us; but lets not go there). I better not see this cibai in real life.



Don't give me the same ol' shit, like, "Friendster is for making friends ma...". Ma your damn head la. I don't see guys doing that for other guys also. So don't talk cock with me man. Bloody pundek ayam.

Back to the Good ol' Days.

(Quoting many people): "Why are you still single?"
I honestly do not know, and it's something I ponder on every now and then. But yes, there is a girl I currently like in my course, and it's up to anyone, however they do it, to find out who it is. But I think it's gonna drift off just like all my other crushes because:-
1. I no longer have the courage to tell a girl I like her
2. I don't think I even have the time to sustain a relationship
3. I don't think I even have the ability to be a good boyfriend as relationships now aday are so overrated.

Hence. Maybe thats why I'm still single.

I just purchased the latest addition to the Gundam Seed Destiny 1/100 model market, ZGMF-X23S Saviour.

MA-M941 "Vajra" beam saber

MMI-RD11 aerodynamic shield

M106 "Amfortas" plasma beam cannon

MA-BAR70 high-energy beam rifle

Mobile armor Mode (Plane mode)

Refering to my post on Gundam Comparisons, Saviour is actually Athrun Zala's 3rd Gundam as a whole, but his first Gundam in Gundam Seed Destiny (Not like anyone's really interested, so...)

Moving on...

The gang and I went to watch 'The Covenant' right after I purchased my toy model. Quite a fascinating movie. Kinda like a mixture of Street Fighter, Harry Potter and a Fashion Show. But I pretty much enjoyed it.



A little message to movie critics, "If you don't like a movie, don't watch it. If you think that you're qualified to insult the movie, then please, before hand, produce a movie of your calibre for me to watch and actually compliment. UNTIL you can do that, please, shut the fcuk up. I've heard nasty remarks from shows that I actually enjoyed, and I feel its plain immature. Thanks ^^"

An update since the previous post. Though this is nothing more than a waste of time, I don't really have anything interesting in my life to talk about at the moment. So.......

Firstly, I spent the last one month of my holidays working at Haagen Dazs. Pretty interesting experience I must say. Got to know a few good friends there too. Either way, I suppose the main reason I enjoyed myself so much is because I love the service line. I like interacting with customers. Lol. But my beloved friends, be warned. Although it's legally stated that 'the customer is always right', it is actually slightly different in the real world. I think it should be changed to 'the customer is ALLOWED to ASSUME that he or she is always right'. One must never anger the person who is handling his food.

Then, on the 1st of October, it was back to my schooling life for me. Didn't really miss Subang though, but I did miss my friends. Can't say the same for them about me. Haha. But never I mind, I still like them nonetheless. Year 2 just isn't the same without Niki. Sure it's more peaceful, but sometimes too quiet = a very boring thing. Bummer. Oh, and to make things worse, I'm taking 8 subjects this semester (goodie) that means 32 hours of class per week. So, this is gonna be quite a long year.

How un-Malaysian am I?

I am as un-Malaysian as my own aunty... roflmfao99

Study Break... Break from Studying...

Quote Fern, "but i'd rather have a protective bf than have 1 that doesn't even give a shit"

Something that contradicts everything I've been trying to become. Just when I thought that all girls hate protective boyfriends, boy was I wrong. But now, I have to learn where to draw the line.

Sometimes I wonder why I get myself so work up with stuff like this. After all, as I always say, "Love is simple... Why do we all have to make it so darn complicating?"

Quoting Pio, "You dont need over-priced roses in an extravagant vase and arrangement to show her you care. You dont need pricey chocolates, or splashy jewelry...You dont need the extravagant, money-grubbing, frivolous things. . . just each other."

>.>

Well, this is not exactly a post, it's more of a 'let-it-all-out' sorta thing.

When my results first came out on the beginning towards the middle of July, I was utterly devastated. Why? Allow me to give a story on my academic history. I successfully passed through SPM without studying, literally. Granting me entry into Sunway College (Now known as Sunway University College).

In Sunway, I practically spent everyday playing computer as there was no force or guilt to stop me, but I still made it to class everyday, giving way to a couple of morning classes that I miss since I'm a heavy sleeper. I never stopped playing computer, not even the day before my finals. And my results? 2 Distinctions 1 Credit 2 Fails.

Monash still allowed me entry into year 1 considering that my business subjects were 2 of the top 3 on condition that I take Basic Mathematics as a elective subject during my second semester of my first year. I then entered Monash with the same thinking that I can play computer and pass. Boy was I shit wrong. I passed only 1 bloody subject during my first semester and 1 more in my second semester. But before I could even begin on worrying about my Summer classes, Australia's immigration already revoked my visa and kicked me out of Australia.

After which I came to Taylors, after tuning over a new leaf, and went to class everyday and paid attention till my eyes went sore. Went through a bit of shit in my second semester as there were a lot of people giving me shit when I am quite sure I didn't need it. May it be leaking secrets or backstabbing me unnecessarily, there were such people lingering around me. But I still managed to buck up before my finals and drilled myself to study, for the first time. I spent many nights studying till the break of dawn before going to sleep. I entered each paper confident, for the first time, instead of the usual me going for papers not having a clue what topics were taught in the previous semester. I even had fun after my finals thinking that I'd do quite well. Only to feel like downgraded shit when I stared at my results.

It sucked even more when everybody, including my parents, kept asking me about my results, because I didn't feel like telling anyone. If I had the choice, I wouldn't even have wanted to tell myself. Why? It's because this is the typical scenario when a student refuses to study his whole life, fails a lot, but when he finally opens his eyes and tries to study, he still fails. Demotivating. Demoralizing. Devastating.

Lashing Vanity

I send a friend request, NOT because I think you're hot, NOT because I think you are pretty, NOT because I think you are cute, NOT because I think you are attractive... I send u a bloody friend request because I believe we already know each other... We just haven't been properly acquainted yet... But if ur vanity impedes and restricts you from accepting that friend request... Fine by me... But I'm just here to remind you NOT to stereotype me with HALF of the guys out there who have NOTHING better to do than to add "PRETTY KAWAII" girls to their fcuking friendster BECAUSE they wanna beautify their friendlist with such people... On a second note... I don't lose out if you don't want to be my friend... I just start honouring myself SIMPLY because... I'll never find it in me to be VAIN like YOU...

I know I'm cute, you don't have to remind me...

Hi. My name is Marshmallow. Ain't I cute? My favourite pasttime is deliberately getting in your way no matter what it is you are doing. If you are reading the papers, I'd be more than happy to sit on the papers for you. If you are cutting cloth, I'd be thrilled to sleep on the piece of cloth you are cutting. And that takes a lot of guts too as there's a risk of havin my tail cut off.



I'm a persian. Yes, PURE persian. If you'd like a kitten like me as your pet, you can buy us at selected MNG boutiques all over Malaysia. Yes, yes I know, I'm simply adorable.

Lots of Love,
Marshmallow

Demoralizing Bunch of Nitwits...

MIRI Girls Student Gang Fight,


Firstly, the girls are damn lame to think that this is so darn cool that they have to film it with their freaking mobile phone. Secondly, the guys in the video are a bunch of pussies being so darn "weak" being incapable of stopping the girls from beating up the poor victim.

Not very far different from the Johor case though. Whats the point of filming? Can one really be so damn proud about something like this? Why? So they can show their children and grandchildren how they used to spend their time in school and after school? I really regret beating up the ppl I beated up back in high school, to the extent that I'd never keep a memorial of those experiences.

And it's so darn obvious that the girls are acting "bigger" than they are because:
1.) Quantity = 10+ to 1
2.) They are filming it, once in a lifetime experience, so they want to "make the best" out of it.

I repeat what I've said countless times before since I saw the Johor case. Brutality and physical violence only proves one thing. Homosapiens have barely evolved since the cavemen days till they use brute force to get whatever they want as quickly as possible or to show dislike over small pitiful matters.

To the 'cast' of the video above. Your parents must not love you at all. My mum won't let me runamuck like that, beating up other people and filming it because I think it's so darn cool. And especially to the guys starring in the video. You are such a bunch of pussies to let the girls over power you while you try to "pretend" to stop the fight.

Congrates on such a cheap production that you are all so proud off. You forgot one thing, the credits. I'd like to know who acted in this video so I know never to marry anyone in their family tree as they are too airheaded for my liking.

dammit

Unclear of the concept...

All our lives, we've been made to believe that dogs and cats hate each other, but since dog dominate over cats in size, it's also made to believe that cats are constantly chased by dogs.



However, as for my pets, there's a bigger mystery going on.



Perhaps I should sue Warner Bros., and Disney for propaganda-ing false information to young kids.

Ever wonder why students fail their examinations?

Old joke, but I've been looking for it because I still think it's bloody hilarious.

Back to the topic, ever wonder why students fail their examinations? Well, the reason, obvious or not, I truly believe that we are all oblivious to it. It's merely because 1 year has 365 days.

1. Sundays. There are 52 weeks in a year, thus there are 52 Sundays in a year. And as we all know, Sundays are for resting. Bringing the remaining days to prepare for examinations to 313.

2. Summer Holidays. Consisting of 50 days, summer is a season whereby it is too hot thus making it almost impossible to study. Bringing the remaining days to 263.

3. Sleep. Just what the doctor ordered. As we all know, an average of 8 hours of sleep a day is required, totalling to 122 days in a year. Bringing the remaining days to 141.

4. Recreation. 1 hour a day is needed for playing (for good health) totaling to 15 days. Bringing the remaining days to 126.

5. Eating. For sufficient time to enjoy our daily delicacies, 2 hours a day for food is required (inclusive of chewing properly and swallowing) totaling to 30 days. Brining the remaining days to 96.

6. Interaction. 1 hour per day for communicating (humans are social animals) totaling to 15 days. Bringing the remaining days to 81.

7. Examinations itself. Per year, there are at least 35 examination days. Brining the remaining days to 46.

8. Holidays. This includes quarterly, half yearly and festival holidays. Totaling to 40 days. Bringing our balance to 6 days.

9. Medical. Medical reasons such as sickness, at least 3 days in a year. Thus causing a balance of 3 days.

10. Movies and other functions. At least 2 days per year. Finally leaving 1 day remaining.

11. That last day is our birthday. How on earth can we study on that day?

Balance = 0 days

If this is the case, then how can a student pass?

Miscellaneous things in a day...

Rue: Hey, just wanted to wish you happy birthday.
Eddy: My birthday was last Saturday.
Rue: What the, I knew it was on a Saturday, I just forgot which Saturday it was.
Eddy: =.="

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Went to Pyramid with Xin Wen today. Manatau ter-met-up with Mei Ling and Yukito as well. BUT, before meeting up with them, Xin Wen and I had too much free time so we went to my favourite place. Yup, the toy shop ^^

And found this rather disturbing toy...

At first it looked ok... It's just Manny the Mammoth from Ice Age 2.
But then.....

Uh-huh. a "huge" trunk with balls by the side. Yeah. I'd love my kids to play with that now wouldn't I?

After which we went to catch a flick, Stay Alive

Yup, truly a show inspired by the Bee Gees' screams now isn't it. Honestly the show turned out much better than Yukito and I expected. Maybe because our expectations were very low. As I kinda despise most horror movies because I find them rather lame. But this turn out ok. I've been too utterly disappointed by korean, japanese and thai horror flicks that I refuse to waste money watching them ever again.

I then went to Time Square with Kanga-Rue to get myself something nice. I've been wondering whether or not to buy it, but I did in the end. MK-II A.E.U.G. Version 2.

After opening it I found it to be quite a good bargain. The parts were simply magnificant. Totally not disappointed.

Next I shall aim for the Legend. Should be out next week. *gulp*. I hope.

Tio-Man...

From the 19th to the 21st of June 2006, I followed Nelson and Jerry down to Pulau Tioman with a bunch of their friends.

...........


Yeah, a bunch of their friends, who are a group of A Teens wanna-bes.


And a bunch of morons.


Pssst, the guy on top isn't me, I swear!

ROFLMAO. That was suppose to be a joke. But as a whole, the trip was pretty nice, and touching. Kinda sucks when you have this uncomfortable feeling that you might not see them again, at least, not anytime soon.

Well, to break the depressing moment, the Chalets that they offered on the Paya side of Pulau Tioman were simply elegant.


Grand aren't they?

I therefore ask the question. Why are we living in a shack like this..?


Not exactly your 5-star hotel is it?



Bah, the accodomation didn't bother me. At least I had a roof over my head. Something like this is definintely the best thing since soap and water.

We didnt' actually do much on the first day. We just took a "short" walk from the Genting portion of Pulau Tioman, to the Paya portion of the island through some sort of a jungle trek. Short here meaning 1.5-2 hours. Thus feeling more like Taman Negara than Pulau Tioman.

On the second day, we went snorkeling (WoW =.=!), but disappointingly, sharks were not spotted at the places where we snorkled. After which, we were taken to one of those "duty free" shops, a MUST GO at places like this. Chivas RM42. Speaking of which, at that Duty Free shop, I saw this.


At first I thought the name was rather appealing. El Señorio, Spanish Whisky? But it wasn't long before I saw the contents of the bottle


Not so appealing after all.

I enjoyed every moment of the trip though. The pain, the torture, the exhaustion. Really made my holiday more worthwhile, in comparison to watching my grass grow.

World Cup 2006

Dear Wife / Partner / Girlfriend / Significant Other,

1. From June 9 to July 9, 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper daily so that you are well aware of what’s going on regarding the World Cup. This is so that you will be able to join any conversations that are bound to take place. If you fail to do this, you will be looked at with disdain or alternatively, you will totally be ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup, the television is mine – MINE, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even catch a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).

3. If you really have to pass in front of the TV during a game, I don’t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me, or worse, blocking my view. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV in a desperate act to get my attention, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won’t have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell on the floor… It won’t happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least two six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things for me to nibble on. And please do not make funny faces at my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12pm and 6pm, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please! If you see me upset because the team I support is in the midst losing, DO NOT say “Get over it, it’s only a game”, or “Don’t worry, they’ll win next time”. If you say these things, you will only make me fume and get angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so-called “words of encouragement” will only lead to a break-up.

7. You are welcomed to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during half-time but only when commercials are on, and only if the half-time score pleases me. In addition, please note I am saying “ONE” game; hence, do not use the World Cup as an excuse to “spend quality time together”.

8. The replays of the goals are VERY important. I don’t care if I have seen them before or I haven’t seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any baby-, or any other child-related parties or gatherings that will require my attendance because:
• I will not go,
• I will not go, and
• I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily World Cup highlights shown on TV every night are just as important as the actual games. Do not even think about saying “but you have already seen this... why don’t you change the channel to something we can all watch together?” because, the reply will be “Refer to Rule #2 of this list.”

12. And, finally, please save expressions such as “Thank God the World Cup is only every four years”. I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League Premier League, FA Cup, etc…

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
Men of The World

My 21st Birthday is coming up soon. For those who don't know when my birthday is. It's on the 17th of June. Having said this, I'd be expecting gifts from most of you.

Anyway, back to the story. My 21st Birthday is coming up soon. Thus my parents have offered to buy me something rather expensive. Initially they were going to buy me an I-Pod Video. But I declined. For that price there are a lot of other things I rather get. Handphones were out of the question because my parents want it to be a lasting gift, as I change handphones every 6 months - 1 year.

I then decided on a camera, not a stereotype one, but one where I can enjoy using for other purposes apart from taking pictures of my friends "who love me so much". My initial choice was a Fuji FinePix s9500.

RM 1,950

The only flaw in buying cameras in this range is that they are very bulky. It has a bloody 10.7x optical zoom. Which should be very useful when attempting to look into my neighbour's bedroom. The main reason I am choosing cameras in this range, is the shutter delay. They cost as much as a decent digital camera, only exceeding the size of a normal one. Normal cameras have about 0.5-1 second shutter delay, which is bloody annoying especially when taking sudden shots of things that might only happen once in your lifetime. The s9500 has a quick 0.01 sec shutter delay. That I can live with

I then discussed this topic with my uncle who have just bought a RM45,000 Canon Eos WHICH he considered cheap, as it is 7,500 pounds in UK. He said that the Fuji is good, but he was asking me to consider the Canon Eos 350d.

RM 3,400

The Canon Eos range is the top range for Canon cameras. The 350d is the cheapest of the range. All of them are SLRs. What is an SLR you ask? Well SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex mostly used in 32mm cameras, using mirrors and prisims the operator is able to view the target through the main aperture. In other words, highly advanced technological gizmo.

So I'm a bit dazed choosing which I want, as the Canon is pricey, but my uncle keeps insisting on it.

Ohana Night... Dec' 05

The wrong time to use "LOL"!!

Was having a conversation with my lil' sister... and...
Title and picture says it all...

Gundam Comparisons

Just for the fun of it... I would like to post pictures of Gundams that have been upgraded/built based on a previous models and observe their similarities as well as differences...

The pictures in this post are better viewed if you do not 'check' the picture auto-resize option in your advanced internet options panel.

This is not in chronological order... The ones on the left are from Gundam Seed, and the ones on the right are the upgraded models based on the left ones from Gundam Seed Destiny...

Firstly
L: ZGMF-X13A Providence (Piloted by Rau Le Creuset)
R: ZGMF-X666S Legend (Piloted by Rey Za Burrel)


The biggest similarity between the two would be the DRAGOONS(Disconnected Rapid Armament Group Overlook Operation Network System) all around their backpacks... Providence having 11 and Legend having 10...

L: ZGMF-X10A Freedom (Piloted By Kira Yamato
R: ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom (Piloted By Kira Yamato)


Don't let the wings fool you... Strike Freedom's Wings mount 8 DRAGOONS...

L: ZGMF-X09A Justice (Piloted By Athrun Zala)
R: ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice (Piloted By Athrun Zala)


∞ Justice exceeds the Justice as it's backpack serves as a destructive weapon on it's own... It has 2 MR-Q17X "Griffon 2" beam blade, mounted on wings and a MA-M02G "Super Lacerta" lifter tip beam saber...

L1:GAT-X105 Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato & Mwu La Flaga)
L2:GAT-X105/E-X01 Aile Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato & Mwu La Flaga)
L3:GAT-X105/E-X02 Sword Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato)
L4:GAT-X105+/E-X03 Launcher Strike (Piloted by Kira Yamato)
R1:ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R2:ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R3:ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R4:ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse (Piloted by Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)



Impulse's role in GSD is pretty much similar to Strike's role in GS... The first Gundam to fight for the team that we all think is fighting for the most justifiable reasons... Although Impulse has a more interesting function compared to Strike...

L1:FX-550 Sky Grasper (Piloted by Mwu La Flaga, Cagalli & Tolle Koenig)
L2:FX-550/E-X01 Aile Grasper (Piloted by Mwu La Flaga & Cagalli)
L3:FX-550/E-X02 Sword Grasper (Piloted by Cagalli & Tolle Koenig)
L4:FX-550/E-X03 Launcher Grasper (Piloted by Mwu La Flaga)
R1:Core Splendor (Shin Asuka & Lunamaria Hawke)
R2:Chest Flyer
R3:Leg Flyer
R4:Force Silhouette Flyer
R5:Sword Silhouette Flyer
R6:Blast Silhouette Flyer


Then we have the evolution of Kira Yamato's Gundams... From the beginning of Gundam Seed till the end of Gundam Seed Destiny
GAT-X105 Strike Gundam
GAT-X105/E-X01 Aile Strike Gundam
GAT-X105/E-X02 Sword Strike Gundam
GAT-X105/E-X03 Launcher Strike Gundam
ZGMF-X10A Freedom
ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom


And the evolution of Athrun Zala's Gundams
GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam
ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam
ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam
ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam


All bearing similaries to portray the pilot's range of Gundams...
