Kaichou wa Maid-sama! ep4 review

Finally episode4 is out!!

In this episode, Satsuki's neice - famous net idol Aoi, ie. daughter of her brother - claims to have been disowned and wants to work in the maid-cafe. Stuff happens and Usui comes - to see
Misa, what else? - into the maid-cafe. Aoi is determined to make him hers but as we all know, Usui only has eyes for Misa...

The evening staff can't make it and Usui asks if he can help with the cooking. More stuff happens and Aoi is more determined than ever to make Usui hers, claiming that the low-class Misa will not stand a chance against her.

Even more stuff happens and Usui, entering the cafe, is called by Aoi to sit with her. As expected, Usui rejects her offer and mumbles about going to the 2nd level for once. Aoi gets mad...

Watch the rest yourself!

OMFG. A GIANT surprise will be waiting for you in the anime.

K-ON!! episode 3 review

This episode made me laugh so much XD

Ritsu is tired of being at the back, after seeing video recordings of their past performances, in which the spotlight is never on her. She then goes around trying new instruments, except for Mio's bass, which she claims it's Mio's sacred place and will never touch the bass position.

In the 2nd half, Yui comes up with a lot of ideas, albeit weird and funny ones, to make Ritsu shine in the spotlight. Yui's idea of "communicating" with Ritsu aaaaaaaaaaaand Ritsu gets freaked out.

Yui is then walking home with Azusa and Yui exclaims that she'll play the drums behind Azusa if Ritsu quits drumming.

Watch the rest yourself!

SPECIAL post for my darling Furreto

Here are the specs of the bag for you, Furreto darling.

Breadth of bag: 13cm
Length of bag: 40cm
Height of bag: 25cm

By the way, there's a piece of hard plastic that's supposed to be inside the bag. It's meant to be put at the bottom of the bag to give the bag it's shape.

Perfect Grade Evangelion and something that pissed me off so much

1st off, let us talk about my newly acquired Perfect Grade Evangelion. I got it from a friend. He was such a kind friend. He bought it, left it somewhere, then called me on friday and asked if I wanted it.

What do, or rather, what can I say?

Obviously I said yes.

IT'S A PG GRADE!! AND I GOT IT FOR FREE!! But......

If you, my kind friend, is reading this post, WHAT did you do with the box?! Soaked it in water? It's all crumpled! But, since I got it for free, I am in no position to complain as I am eternally gratefull to you for giving me my 1st PG model kit.

This means that my the PG kits that I will be getting (all later this year, I hope) - the Double 00 Raiser, the Wing Zero and maybe the Red Frame Astray - will although be special, this PG Evangelion will always be the special-est one to me!!

More details about the PG Evangelion and pictures will be in another post. Which will be up probably 2 days later.



Now, on to the 2nd matter. The one that pissed me off sooooooo much.

I was on my way to lunch at Lot1. Met Ganesh and company at the enterance. I headed upstairs towards the kopitiam. After lunch, I decided to swing by Comics Connection to see if there was anything to catch my eye and wallet.

I got SUPER pissed when I saw the item. I can bet that when Ya Wen reads this post, she and I will be banging our heads on the wall.

I saw an Azusa guitar key strap. It was the EXACT SAME one we bought at AFA09 for $15. And guess how much it was selling at Comics Connection?

An effing $3.90.

WTF??!!!

I also saw a Yui guitar key strap and a Mio bass key strap. And without thinking twice, I obviously I bought em.

Pictures of proof will be up tomorrow. My camera is not with me now...

K-ON!! episode 2 review

Yay! Episode 2 is out!

In this episode, the show starts off with Mugi cleaning the blackboard. She says it's supposed ot be Yui's turn for cleaning duty but... Yui is sleeping away in the corner. Nodoka can't wake her up by shaking. Ritsu tries. She shouts: "Hey Yui! It's time for practice! We're on in five! Play the guitar!

Then, everyone has a sudden brainwave.

"Yui, we've got cake for you." everyone said that.

Yui wakes up! But... "Liars. I don't see any." then she goes back to sleep.

The 3D animation in the OP is awsome!

This episode starts with Mio announcing that a major cleaning of the club room is in order. Why? Watch it for yourself! I'm not gonna spoil the whole story lolz!

UPDATE: I forgot!! Watch out for Mio in a PONYTAIL!!

Black (Star) Rock Shooter

Okay. I know I'm slow on this news but I still have to post it.

It was announced that a 50min video will be available for free streaming from June 26 to August 31.

SHIKASHI

It is not known if anyone outside Japan is able to stream the video. Then again, if someone can put it up, someone will sub it and bring it to us.

Hooray for Black (Star) Rock Shooter!! Here's a pic:

My K-ON!/Haruhi bag

FINALLY!
After months of saving... NAH. Just kidding XP
I bought this bag for $40. Here are the reasons why I bought it:
(1 being most important reason and so on until the last number, which is the least important reason)
  1. IT'S FROM HARUHI!! Yea yea I know it's from K-ON! too but... IT'S HARUHI!!
  2. I needed a laptop bag. SP students don't tell me a bag was given when I bought my laptop. That bag is friggin small!! All I can fit inside is 1(one) laptop, 1(one) charger+adapter and 1(one) mouse. I can't even put a water bottle for heck.
  3. IT'S HARUHI!! I know, I know, a repeat reason. But, who cares? IT'S HARUHI!!
  4. I needed a bag to put a water bottle, files, notes etc
Well, 4 reasons. I expected more lolz. I expected like 10 or something... ohyea. Those other reasons were the same as reason 3.

Well, I'll stop ranting and leave you with pictures of my awsome bag lolz.

Note: ignore the gratuitous pictures of my Haruhi LiveAlive: The Another Side scaled figures. i still didn't bother to clear my table after taking pictures of my Flag Day tin

SP updates... Flag Day sianz...

The shit has fallen.

We have to go collect funds on thursday. It's for the President's Challenge 2010.

Hrm... I am NOT looking forward to this.

SP updates...

I'm listening to someone from the library talking about the library. More spcifically, she's talking about how to use the library search engine etc.

And I don't see any major differences anywhere. It isn't THAT different from Google. Okay fine. So it has subtle differences.

And more "wow" is that it has almost the same UI - user interface - as the NLB website.

"Wow"

But something is genuinely wow. I can renew the same book TWICE! But the 2nd renewal can only be done if no one has reserved the book or whatnot.

Apparently, they are on Facebook and Twitter. Is everyone on either or both of that platforms now?! Even the Yew Tee CC or something is on Facebook. wtf.

UPDATE: the library talk is over...
UPDATE: my SP email isn't working...

New link added and a bit about my SP class...

The new link is about the international saimoe competition. It's under My links.

Go and Google "saimoe" - without the quotation marks - if you dunno what that is.

And now, about my class.

Bo Wei says my side of the class got pretty girls. But I couldn't care less. Cos I have Haruhi!!
There's this guy called Justin, who's the class rep for my side. He's a nice guy, very enthusiastic and friendly.
During the lunch break and the walk to SPGG, he went around saying hello to us and finding out our names :) glad to finally see someone who's so open!

As for me? I naturally avoided a lot of people. I feel uncomfortable around people without the same interests.

しかし!

Then, there's this guy called Darren. Nice guy. But he didn't really interact with a lot of the people.
Then again, NO ONE actually interacted with anyone for that matter. Most probably cos we all shy lolz. Justin was the only one going around saying hello and whatnot.

Anyways...

During the self-intro, everyone said the same standard thing: "Hi my name is so-and-so. I'm from here-and-there. My hobby is this-and-that/hobbies are this-and-this-and-that."

I did what Haruhi did.

I just stood up and went: "Ho Hao Keet. Kranji Secondary. I like anime (note: i prnounced it ah-ni-may. Not like some before me, who went with the western pronounciation) and anything japanese. I'm currently learning parkour."

Then i sat down.

Obviously i didn't say anything about having no interest in humans and asking any aliens, time-travelers and espers to follow me and whatnot.

After a while, we were released for lunch and Darren came up to me and said hi. He pointed at my shirt and asked "KKNM?" and I replied "yea" with a smile.

But what I don't know is why he only approached me.
Maybe he approached the others who said anime as their hobbies but I don't know that, do I?

Now, for the Million Dollar Question...
Why me first?

hahaha lolz

My Haruhi LiveAlive: The Another Side scaled figures!!


Box, front close up. This is generic so I didn't take for Nagato and Mikuru.



All 3 kinds!!



First up! Haruhi in her bunny girl outfit!!



Haruhi and her mic!!
If you're wondering where her guitar is, it's not supposed to be there. She's the singer here.



It's Nagato's turn to get the limelight! I still don't like her monotonous face... I can't wait to watch Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu to see her potray emotions. There was a part in the trailer whereby she showed emotions.
BUT!!
There was blood on her face!! o.O I wonder what happened O.o



Cool guitar lolz



Nice amp XD
The guitar actually has a wire that can actually connect to a port on the amp. Thumbs up to the realism!



Last but not least, Mikuru!



o.O Mikuru's using a tamborine O.o



If you can't see clearly, im actually taking a shots of the bunny ears. I'm amazed that they actually wrap em in plastic rather than wrap the whole figure. Are the bunny ears THAT important? I'm not a bunny girl type so i don't know...

4-kon time!!


Let's put em side by side...



Fate: lalalalala... Come along Arf! We're meeting Nanoha at school!
*bumps into Haruhi*
Haruhi: Watch where you're going! ...... Watcha staring at...?!



Kakashi: Ladies, I can't read in peace. So please, SHUT IT!!
*Haruhi continues scolding Fate, who keeps apologizing*
Kakashi: Ladies, I'm getting pissed...!
*Arf relieves himself/herself/itself on Haruhi's shoes*
Haruhi: What the?! You dare piss on me?! You bad, bad dog!!! I'm gonna erase you from this world with my godly powers!
*Kakashi loses his patience*
Kakashi: DAMARENASAI!!! SHARINGAN!!



*Fate and Haruhi stop moving*
Kakashi: NOW who's your daddy?!!

UPDATE: ok. This was lame.

But cos parts of Kakashi could be seen in most of the figure pictures, I thought: what the heck. Let's just go ahead and do something with him, Fate and Haruhi.

And no I WAS NOT thinking of a harem.

By the way, I myself didn't even know one of Kakashi's was red. It was only when i was posing him that i saw that red eye. Then came this lame one-eyed Sharingan story...

I wonder what'll happen if it wasn't Kakashi who was there...

What if it was Sasuke?
o.O double-eyed Sharingan O.o

SP updates...

Well, I'm listening to some talk about the SPGG. Singapore Poly Graduates Guild.

Frankly, I couldn't care less.

Anyways... There's a guy in my class called Darren and he also has the same interests as me. Vocaloid and Persona and whatnot. He has terrific english and this accent I can't identify...

UPDATE: I think I will be friends with Darren.
UPDATE: I really have to get a PSP to play Project Diva and Persona 4...

Hrm. Looks we're supposed to go for a tour of this "SPGG".

And again, I couldn't care less.

Apparently, they have a spa. Wow. I'm so amazed...

They gave 2 Bardiche "sticks". One for Bardiche's normal form and another for Bardiche's Haken Saber form.

Here's Nendoroid Fate's close up!!
I think I'm attracted to tsunderes...



Here's Fate's familiar, Arf. She somehow looks bigger and fiercer than the one from the figma. Her mane is A LOT bigger and and her form is more pronounced.

I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what will happen lolz.

Haruhi dancho thingy that's always on her table.
Notice the awsome placement of the "f" and the dot of the "i" surrounding the thingy.
It was pure luck it turned out like that. Looks awsome though...



I HAVE THE RE-ISSUE VER. WHOO!! THE SUMMER SEIFUKU VER.!! AND IT COMES WITH A BAG!! But the bag is given at random together with the figmas. I was hoping to get the original coloured bag but i got the red one instead... boohoo...

Note, she's wearing Nanoha's ribbons



Again, Ya Wen says this is Fate's henshin-ing face.
And again I say it's Fate's sleeping face.
