Be a hero for a day
Met up with Apple and Shaun yesterday to visit the Philatelic Museum, where 0.5% of Shaun's toys collection contributed to 99.5% (cos of the littler Ironman) of the toys being exhibited in the Comics and Superheros Gallery.
Truthfully, even though I don't see why there's a need to have duplicate sets of the same toy, I'm always very impressed by Shaun's collection of toys. On the other hand, I applaud Apple's patience towards the ever-growing, and overflowing into (and out of) the store room, collection. Whenever I'm at their house, I always have this great temptation to hide away one or two boxes of those figurines and start timing how long it will take until Shaun realises he's missing some toys. According to Apple, I can save the trouble cos it will probably not take more than a day or two.
It was fantastic seeing that our friend has progressed from the prefect standing behind Mrs Cheng, muted while trying to find the bloody item that caused the Balance Sheet to not balance, to such a well-revered collector in his hobby.
A man meant for something greater... Did the Hongkie boy really used the word "ascended"? For lack of a better word, perhaps...
