With the beginning of a new year comes new wants, and to fund this new wants, I need the finance. I just blew 200 odd dollars on my guitar, another 100 odd on the first month’s lesson fees, and next up’s probably a flash. As such, I’ve decide to sell some of my figurines, mostly impulse purchase, meaning I don’t really love the character a lot. Sometimes, when I look around my room, I often wonder what I was really thinking when I bought or pre-ordered certain figurines. This is beneficial for both me and those who plan to make a purchase, since the figurines will be getting owners who would love them much more than I do. Also, I can probably get my flash earlier.
Before I list out the stuff, please take note that I only accept Singapore buyers.

I’ve never been musically inclined. I suck at the recorder back when I was in secondary school, and even now, I’m unable to play any musical instrument. I can’t sing in tune to save my life. Hell, I even suck at those guitar or drum games in the arcades.
Yet, this time, I’ve decided to challenge myself. I’ve been wanting to learn the guitar ever since I was 16, but procrastination often held me back. And so, it dragged on for 3 years, until I finally decided that if I wouldn’t learn it now, it would probably be never.

Mirai Nikki’s a pretty screwed up manga, and I mean it in a good sense. It’s not the plot that’s screwed up, but rather the characters. Before, I thought that most of the players in the game had lost it except for Yukiteru, but in the latest chapter, I’m convinced that every single being in Mirai Nikki has serious issues. It’s only typical for all of them to be demented though, since it would be abnormal for the characters to be normal under such insanity.
We get to witness Yukiteru embarking on a relentless killing spree as self defense. The way he went through his assailants was simply like merciless swatting of flies. They went down so easily.

Yet another school assignment to be submitted, this time with the theme of The Decisive Moment. The photos are all black and white, as stated in the assignment’s requirements.

It’s official! The ARX-7 we’ve all been waiting for has finally been announced for release. Come May 2009, the 1/60 14.5cm tall ABS full action figurine will be released at a hefty 13440 yen. I was ready to make my decision to quit figurines right after my 2 Highschool of the Dead figurines arrive next month, but it looks like my plan will be delayed a couple of months just for the Arbalest.
However, a problem still remains. Remember Arvalest? Yes that’s right. There’s still no confirmation as to whether the V has been corrected to a B, or if it’s left as it is. All the sample images of the ARX-7 do not include the base, so no one would know until the final product’s released. Until then, let’s play the waiting game.

Full Metal Panic, alongside Evangelion, has been one of my favourite series, be the it novel, anime or manga. As such, since I love the series, it’s only natural for me to love the 2 female lead characters in it too. Today’s Christmas eve, but for FMP fans who don’t bother about that, it’s Chidori and Tessa’s birthday too.
As a annual “tradition”, on this day, I shall write some random fanboy post regarding FMP.

Although this manga series is fresh, currently only at 3 chapters and running on in Young Animal, it’s really interesting. The series begins with a young man who tried to commit suicide, but failed as he was saved in the hospital. Despite still being alive, his death wish remains. As such, he is made to sign a document before being put to sleep.
Later on, he awakes to find himself still alive and kicking, but on an island together with many others who attempted suicide.

A secondary school friend of mine (we shall name him J) whom I’ve been keeping some contact with is currently in Japan together with 2 other friends, and I’m so envious of them. Now before anyone goes “But you went to Japan just 2 months ago”, the weather then was similar to Singapore. I didn’t get to enjoy the chilling cold and snow, nor did I go skiing. While those guys are currently in Tokyo and are going to have a ball of a time skiing when they go over to Hokkaido next week, I’m stuck in tropical Singapore with my assignments. I’m sure many of you know the feeling.
Since I can’t be in Japan now, I can only post pictures of Japan

Wow, I totally forgot about this post, and more than 2 months later, it’s still in my drafts folder. Browsing through the photos I took in September reminded me that I wanted to write about this while I was still in Japan, but I just didn’t have to time to do so. That, and the unstable network I was using while I was at my friend’s house.
This is by no means a complete list of places selling anime stuff, but rather, the places I’ve spotted while wandering around the city area of Fukuoka over 2 days. “Why only these few places?”, you might ask. Well, I took my own sweet time strolling around, take breaks whenever I pleased. I even took a break at the beach area more almost half an hour.
This Mandarake branch was located in Tenjin. As you can see, it had an entire building to itself.
