May the Fourth Be with You

It's Star Wars day once again! My Yoda collection is still in storage boxes.  Fixing our home is moving so slow. I want them to have a nice display case. I have loved Yoda since I first saw him on screen when Star Wars first came out. I liked his gentle nature and he's just so cute.

I like Yoda now because he's full of wisdom! Here's one quote that's so apt right now -

Election day is just a few days away. May we choose the best candidate that will serve the whole country and not just a few families. Knowledge and understanding our history is key. 

May the force be with all of us.

May the Fourth Be with You!

I spent all day yesterday cleaning the house and finally fixing Yoda's new place at home. It was a huge workout I ended up just hanging out in the couch after sunset haha. 

I had so much fun getting Yoda out of the boxes I kept him in for almost a month now. The collection started when we had a decorate-your-area contest at work. Star Wars was the theme we chose and I was just surprised by Hadi who Yoda-themed my desk and the rest is history :)

Why Yoda is My Hero

My Mom really doesn't understand why I have a fondness for what she perceives as "not beautiful". You see since I was a child I've loved ET, Alf, Mr. Spock, and of course, Yoda. I don't really have an explanation why, I just love them.

I started collecting Yoda toys because of Hadi. He started it because we had this competition at work where we had to decorate our desks. He had the idea of using Star Wars as a theme and dressed up my desk in Yoda green and decorated it with Yoda posters and of course a toy. After that Sweetie started to give me Yoda toys and other friends followed suit. Eventually I started to collect. I had parameters though -- must be small, not too expensive and not necessarily new. In fact one of the best finds was from Hobby Off, a pre-loved toy shop in Tokyo which Sweetie found. My friends are also so sweet since they buy Yoda toys for me and even send it through mail (hello Shin Yee!).

So why do I love Yoda? Let me count the ways...

1. He's tiny thing that packs a punch. Remember Episode 3?
2. Very differently he communicates.
3. He has so much wisdom!
4. Always very calm.
5. He's very chill and can be funny at times. Remember how he trolled Luke in Episode 8?
6. Yoda avoids fighting. He only does when really needed.
7. From what I've seen, he's an introvert.
8. Can only be bothered if it's really important.
9. I love his pointy ears (blame it on Mr. Spock too).
10. He's just really so cute.

Love Yoda, I do.

**I've yet to visit Yoda's statue in Singapore! I should do that soon!
