Goodbye 2009…

G2 — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 01:34:56 +0000

So it’s the end of the year again. Haven’t really been updating my blog since November, but decide to write something since it’s the last day of the year. Year 2009 has been a very enjoyable year for me. I have been going out with friends, meeting new friends, taking lots of photographs, trying and getting new things. It’s very different from my life 2 years ago and now I really feel like I’m living. Still yet to get myself a DSLR as I think I’m still lack of good photography skills. Hope I will improve and get one for myself next year. Hehe.

And this is my first drawing using wacom bamboo. Specially drawn for this post. Hehe. It’s a white tiger, but looks weird. ^^;

I think I will stop here. Will be meeting my friends later for count down. Thanks everyone who knows me for accepting me as your friend. It’s great knowing all of you. Please forgive me for my mistakes too. ^^;

Wish all of you a Happy New Year!

AFA 09

G2 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:01:28 +0000

Hmm… Seems like I’m lazy again. Checked my last post and it was posted more than one month ago. ^^; Been busy meeting friends and attending company’s events for the past few weeks. Always felt tired when I reached home, but I still go to facebook almost everyday. ^^;

Only went to AFA 09 on Saturday. One day’s admission fee is 3 times of last year’s. =_=

Not sure which Gundam is this, but looks really awesome.

Lovely figma Mirai. Will order one when available. Will be great if she comes with the bicycle. WANT!!! I want both of them!!!

The maid cafe. Always have a long queue at the entrance, but I’m not interested with maid cafes in Singapore. Not really sure why.

Two famous people spotted. Felt a bit sorry for the GSC boss. When I took photo with him, people started to notice his present. In the end, he had to walk away from the booth and crowd while waiting for Danny. ^^;

I think I have the potential to be a stalker or paparazzi. Hehe. This photo looks as though the uncle on the left is in love with Danny at first sight. ^^

The MC of AFA 09 as Yui from K-ON. She can’t really move away from one spot as many people wants to take photos with her. Me wanted too, but looking at her situation I gave up the idea. She looks tired and eager to get out of that spot.

Will watch Summer Wars when it’s aired in Singapore. Those were drawn by the director. Never know the director could draw too. ^^

The pretty Alodia. Didn’t watch the cosplay competition, but did watch it on youtube. Her witchblade costume looks good.

Thanks to Passerby B for pushing me towards Danny and got this photo taken. Danny said that he had seen me somewhere. Not sure whether he really remembers me for attending his blogger workshop last year or because that I look like any other otaku in the event. ^^

And of course the main highlight of AFA 09 is the live concert performance. Don’t say that you went to AFA if you didn’t go to the live concert. Great performance by Shokotan, Miku and Aniki. Too bad I missed the performance by May’n and Yoshiki Fukuyama on the next day. Really love the songs from Macross Frontier.

And this is what I bought from the event. The ‘I love anisong’ normal edition T-shirt. Was told that this was the last M-size black version.

Postcards from GSC. Manage to get autograph from the GSC boss, Aki Takanori. But I don’t really know what he signed.

I still have many photos, but I think it’s just the repeat of those posted at other blogs. So that’s all.

SuperStar Virgo Cruise Trip

G2 — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:39:50 +0000

Was on a cruise trip from 14 to 16 Oct. It’s the second time that I’m on a cruise. The first was more than 10 years ago. As mentioned earlier, it’s a 2D2N trip at SuperStar Virgo. This is at level 12 where the jacuzzi, water slide and swimming pool are. The slide is fun, but I end up injuring my leg when I try to get out of the water. =_=

Back to day 1. Though the check-in and boarding time is 8pm and 8.30pm, we start queuing around 6.40pm. When it’s nearer to the check-in time, the queues start to get longer and the whole place is pack with people. Can’t imagine how the place will be when it’s during the peak season.

This is the night view of Harbourfront from the ship.

This is the library in the ship. Looks very classy and comfortable.

However, the internet usage seems a bit limited and expensive.

The layout and finishes of the whole ship looks classy. This is the Galaxy Of The Stars. You are able to see the sea view, sunrise and sunset here while drinking. There’s also an area in the middle for people to dance. The Captain’s bridge is just below here.

This is our room. It’s quite small, but is still able to squeeze the three of us in. We chose the cheapest room without window, so the drawing on the wall is our ‘window’. ^^; As our room is quite close to the engine room, we could hear a bit of the engine noise at night.

This is the main lobby of the ship. There will be live performance in front of the three horse statues from time to time. This is also the area where we pay our bill at the end of the trip.

The ceiling of the area. Looks beautiful.

The Lido. It’s a theater for live performances in the ship. We also collect passports here, but it’s only for Singaporean. =_= Foreign passports have to be collected at Galaxy Of The Stars.

Star Navigator shows info and schedule of different restaurants, activities and live performances. Will be given one copy by the cabin crew each day. If you need more, you will have to get it from the main lobby.

View of the sea from the deck. Didn’t manage to play the game shown on the deck floor. Not sure what is the name of the game.

One of the restaurants. We always go to those restaurants that doesn’t need to pay additional money. There are different varieties of food from different restaurants such as Chinese, Western, Buffet, Vegetarian, Japanese and Thai.

We watched Justice Bao (包青天) for two of the days in our room. ^^; It’s an old Taiwan show in Mandarin, but the one shown here was dubbed in Cantonese.

The ship will stop at Port Klang during the second day. Star Pisces happen to stop next our ship. You can go for land tour at Malacca, but you will need to pay additional money. If not, you can call for a taxi at Port Klang and go to Kuala Lumpur.

On the way to Port Klang. There’s no souvenir to buy, only food products that I can get in Singapore and Johor Bahru.

There are different board games that you can borrow from the Activity Center at level 12. We spent some time playing snake & ladders, jigsaw puzzles and Uno. Too bad there are always missing pieces in the jigsaw puzzles. There’s a Manjong Room beside the Activity Center, but mostly are aunties and uncles playing inside.

There’s a arcade center in the ship. This game seems to be new. You will have to use the stick to hit the screen to destroy the ghosts. Will have to move the stick in circles to charge power. By watching Passerby B play, I know this is a tiring game.

We played the Bingo games in two days, but no luck of winning anything. We use the toothpick to mark out those called numbers by poking a hole.

Woke up early for both mornings to see the sunrise, but seems like I have no luck. It rains during the first morning and the sky was cloudy during the second morning. Could only see some reddish orange lights, but no sight of the sun. T^T

If you want to escape from your normal stressful life, then this could be a good idea. You will be treated well by the staffs in the ship, who are mostly foreign workers. But be prepared to pay some additional money at the end of the cruise trip, either due to gambling at the casino or buying souvenirs in the ship.

Going To Cruise…

G2 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 05:10:13 +0000

Will be going to cruise later in the evening. It’s a 2D2N cruise to Malaysia in Star Cruise’s SuperStar Virgo. Seems like my bag is a bit too much for a 2D2N cruise. ^^; And what’s on top of the bag?

It’s one of our 3 pet tortoises. It has been staying with us for almost 15 years, but we still haven’t give it a name. ^^;

Will post some photos of the cruise trip when I’m back.

Stuff From Hobby Link Japan

G2 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:13:10 +0000

It has been a while since I post something, and even longer that I post something about figures. Yesterday, my brother opened a small box from Hobby Link Japan. We decide to order because of the free shipment fee promotion organised by Hobby Link Japan. Though there are not many things that I want, but I still manage to grab some.

First off is Luffy from a One Piece X Panson Works collaboration. Saw many Panson Works collaboration figures and feel like getting one. This Luffy is the smaller version of this. He’s around 10cm tall, which is around a Nendoroid height. Only his hands can be moved and you need to move his hand forward to make him stand on his own. If not, he will keep falling down due to his heavy head. The material is PVC, but it can be squeeze like a rubber. Maybe because he’s a rubber man. ^^

The back view. A simple figure without much details. Do like such figures sometimes.

Next is Rei from Petit Eva. Saw this with discount and it’s an instant want for me. She’s also has the height of a Nendoroid. None of her body parts can be moved, but her head can be detached. Not sure whether the head can be fitted on a Nendoroid body. Also want Asuka, but was already sold out when we start to order.

The close-up. Cute.

Not sure what are those circles on her hair. She needs the block as a support to let her stand.

Comparing the size of both. Will be better if I place a Nendoroid besides them for comparison, but I’m lazy to take it out from the box. ^^; Maybe next time.

This is the Nyan-Nyan card case. Initially, I plan to use this as a container for my coins, which I will carry along when I go out. But after looking at it, I feel that keeping name cards with it is still the better choice. I like the Nyan-Nyan design.

This is the interior of the case.

And I finally get hold of Nendoroid Petit Lucky Star Season 1, which I wanted for a long time. Got it from Hobby Search. Now I need to get hold of Nenodoroid Petit The Idolmaster Stage 2 too.
