While I was on my way to buy 100+ at a
mamak shop nearby the badminton hall, I came across some gliders which I used to play when I was a kid. It was really nostalgic and yet delighting to see such gliders still being sell. I thought kids nowadays are more interested in electronic games or involved in real action role playing games like nerf. I asked the seller how much is it and he said only 50 cents (Singapore currency). Being a WW2 planes plastic model hobbyist before, I started to choose the variety of models they have and I got the famous
Spitfire.

There were so many types of WW2 planes but too bad, I can't find my favourite Corsair or Zero fighter. |
