Starting a new semester!

Posted in Admin, Otakuisms, Photo-stories on August 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »

So yes, I have started my second year in the Premier Institute for Social Engineering [...]

Posted in Collectables, Figures, Haul, Lucky Star, Otakuisms, figma on August 6, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Was greeted with a pleasant surprise last… Friday I think, after I returned from school. I’m afraid that I’ve turned out to be an almost exclusive figma collector.

[Japan 2008] Haul

Posted in Haul, Japan, Otakuisms, Travel on August 5, 2008 | 7 Comments »

I honestly apologize for the lack of posts during the past week! I was busy with project work (the Japan trip wasn’t all fun and play) plus, I attended SINGFest 2008 so a whole weekend was burnt in the mosh-pit.
And thus, I owe you guys much updates. But first up, a general haul post before [...]

Who’s in Japan with me? Pick the posable action figure!

Posted in Figures, Japan, Otakuisms, Photo-stories, Rant, Travel on July 17, 2008 | 8 Comments »

So who’ll go to Japan with me? You don’t exactly get to choose because she/he’s already with me on the plane and flying high in the sky but you can certainly speculate!
All of my posable figures are dying to go with me - so much so that they’ve actually helped me pack for the trip [...]

Gasp! It’s Double, windbell and me! On the front page of the Friday Weekly!
So anyway, the three of us were interviewed a couple of weeks ago on what it’s like being an otaku in sunny Singapore. I was called back a few days later to have a shoot with my figure collection.
Photos are unceremoniously ripped [...]

Posted in Art & Design, Collectables, Haul, Pop Culture!, STCC on June 30, 2008 | 7 Comments »

Here’s the belated post on my STCC Haul for both days! I really outdid myself but didn’t get all the things I wanted because I was too indecisive. Namely, I was too late to get the first pick of Gloomy Goods (SOBS. MY PINK PLUSH, AND THE BAGS. AND THE WKJ:AWEWEWAN:SD); I flopped over getting [...]
