AFA X

2010-12-11T13:24:00.004+08:00

Okay guys, I owe you all this. Super late post, but it's here : my post on AFA X.
AFA X lasts 2 days this year, on the 21st and 22nd of November. However, most of the photos in this post is taken on Sunday. And I've got many badly taken photos,and I've omitted them from the post, so this post might be a little too short for your liking.

AFA X brought in these Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade games. Above show someone being funny and playing World is Mine with Kaito. VERY EPIC.

Miku Nendoroid. Super cute! :D

Angel Beats nendo. Kanade nendo = WANT.

AFA X Countdown : 3 days

2010-11-10T17:25:00.002+08:00

Hey guys! bcotaku's back from the break :D
AFA X is going to take place in 3 days time!! For those who've been hiding in a cave for the past month, Anime Festival Asia 2010 , or AFA X, is going to take place on 13 November and 14 November 2010 in Suntec City Convention Hall 401 and 402! More information by clicking on the banner on top.

So, have you all prepared yet? Bought the tickets and saved up enough money already? I've decided to not go for the I love anisong concert due to LOW BUDGET and no one to accompany me to go with. ^^" At least that means that I have some extra money to spend on merchandises in the festival.

Hope you guys enjoy yourself at the festival!

AFA X - More infomation released.

2010-09-13T23:11:00.003+08:00

The ticket prices of AFA X is announced. At first glance :
Festival Access - $8 : Access to the main event hall. But not to the stage area. That means we will be missing out on the special guest appearances.

Festival + Stage Access- $15 : Access to Stage Area and Festival hall.

bcotaku's thoughts
So this doesn't seems like a bad price. Cheaper compared to last year. And we get to access the stage too! Wow!
NOT.
It might seem like a good deal , in fact a better deal than last year's at first, but then there is this notice

* Does not grant access to I LOVE ANISONG concerts.

NOOOOOOOOO. So how much does the concert ticket costs?

Starting with the cheapest :

Free Standing Area pass
SGD $55
(approx) 3 hours of concert performance in the Free Standing Area
1x Festival+ stage Access tickets

For EACH DAY
So if you are trying to save money but want to go to the I love anisong concert, this is the one for you.

Next,

1 day VIP pass
SGD$118
3 hours of concert performance
Premium numbered seating
1x Festival+ stage Access tickets
1x free lightstick

This is for those who have the cash to spare but only wants to go to 1 day of the concert. So basically , you get to sit and have a free lightstick for a whopping SGD$63 more.

Lastly, is the most expensive of the tickets

2 Day VIP Pass
SGD$198
6 hours of concert performance
Premium numbered seating
2x Festival + Stage Access tickets
2x lightstick

basically this is for the rich people who want to go for both days of the concert. You get 2x of what you get with the previous tickets for 2(118)-198 = SGD$38 less.

So after all these infomation on the tickets, WHO THE HECK ARE PERFORMING FOR US IN THE CONCERT?
The list might surprise you.

13 November
JAM Project
Ichirou Mizuki AKA Aniki

14 November
SCANDAL
angela
May'n

So? SHOCKED? I'd very much love to have another Miku concert like last year, but too bad it seems like my cute Miku won't be making it to AFA to sing for us this year. But. JAM PROJECT. ANIKI. SCANDAL. ANGELA. MAY'N!!!!!!! These names.... AHHH!! *money flies away*

I'm very looking forward to May'n's concert. Last year's was EPIC AWESOME. I wish that she will sing more Macross Frontier songs this year. OH! And Ready Go! The OP for Ookami-san.

I've been talking about this "stage access" thing for quite some time. So why the heck would anyone wanna go to an empty stage? Of course, the stage won't be empty (duh!) . there will be Special Guest appearance by

Danny Choo (!!!!)
Kana Hanazawa
Kaname
and many others

during the festival itself.

I wonder if we will get to see the Tokyo Storm Trooper in action again this year. Certainly hopes so.

bcotaku's thoughts (again)
So, this time round, we have to pay to watch the concert? hais. I am but just a poor little boy studying in Singapore. I don't think i wll be able to afford the $198 ticket for both days. Neither can i afford the $110 for standing ticket for both days. So what do I do? I think i might be skipping one of the I love anisong concert and get the $55 ticket for the other day. Conclusion? Little poor starving wallet of mine is going to break into tears if i do not suddenly find $X on the ground to pay for my AFA bills.

AFA X

2010-08-10T19:00:00.001+08:00

Okay guys, the dates for Anime Festival Asia 2010, AFA X is announced! The only information available now is that it would be held in Suntec Convention hall 403 and 404 on the 13 and 14 of November, 2010.
I will certainly be going and will be staying from opening till end. But then, due to budget constrains, I would probably not be buying much of things. I wonder who will be here to SING for us this year.
Will be updating the blog on more AFA X news

Students' Investiture + and Awesome New AVA members

2010-07-26T19:45:00.003+08:00

Today is July 26 2010. Student's Investiture. In other words, the day when the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Student Council and each and every CCA officially step down from their positions and hand it over to the newly appointed ones. Of course, it is still not my turn to take over.. YET (As hinted by the Teacher in Charge of AVA). So hopefully, next year, it will be my turn to walk down the red carpet in the Grand Auditorium and take over as the new Chairman or Vice Chairman, preferably the former.

I am on AVA duty for the Investiture, so that means that the CHAOS and FUN of sitting in front of the mixer during a big event that requires multiple mics and multiple channel of music is BACK AGAIN after the 5 month of dormance after Chinese New year. BUT!! It doesn't count as I was doing the lights during CNY Concert, not the audio. SO, it means it has been 7 months of dormance for me, since Drama Nite '09. So EXCITED and HYPER the whole day because of the duty!! I thought I was out of job because I had only been assigned backstage duty ever since the new teacher in charge took over!

Happy to say that THE INVESTITURE WENT ON WITHOUT MUCH PROBLEMS! I am fairly confident in my abilities, until 2 days ago during the investiture rehearsal, I realised that due to the 7 month of dormance, my reaction time has lagged a little. But then again, there was no major problems with today's investiture (was there?)

Also, 2 of my MOST MOST MOST BELOVED JUNIORS, Li Hui and Kai Wen, wanted to join AVA Club!! I was so happy! Immediately after the investiture, I looked out of the AVA room in an attempt to spot my juniors so that I could introduce them to the Teacher In Charge. However, just as I spotted them , the teacher went out and back to his staff room. I had to chase after him to stop him from leaving and introduce the girls to him. Luckily, I managed to catch up to him and a brief introduction was done. Apparently, he was quite happy with having new members. So my dear juniors can begin their "AVA Duties" from next week onwards! I do hope that both Lihui and Kaiwen will enjoy their time working and slacking with the AVA club!

OneManga.com - Gone.

2010-07-22T20:30:00.006+08:00

"It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July '10).

So what next? We're not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear.

You can also show us some love in this moment of sadness by 'liking' our brand new Facebook page. It would be nice to see just how many of you came to enjoy our 'better than peanut butter and jelly' invention.

Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, on behalf of the One Manga team, I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support over the years. Through the ups and downs you have stuck with us, and that is what kept us going.

As a certain Porky was fond of saying... That's all folks!

Time for me to go lay down and let this all sink in.

- Zabi"

This message is what greeted me when I visited my favourite manga scanlation site. That's right. Onemanga.com would be gone soon. As a active visitor to onemanga.com, and a (quite) active member of it's forum, it saddens me to the max as I read this message. I have to read and reread it until i accept the fact about half and hour later. To make matter worse, upon logging in to FaceBook, I found a message that shows the exact same content as the above. Sadness over 9000!!

For the past years that I had been using OM, I had never had any complaints about it. The interface is easy to use, easy to navigate, the quality of the manga it hosts is always very good. Even if the quality is low, when higher quality ones are available, it would be replaced. With one of my favourite, most visited and most awesome site ever down, I will be feeling kinda lost whenever I turned on my macbook.

Onemanga.com has certainly been a wonderful site, and i am sure it will remain in my heart for a very long time, possibly even forever. I believe that goes the same for many online manga readers. To the very best manga scanlation site in my heart, onemanga.com, I salute you. And I hope that if possible, you guys will be back. With twice the awesomeness (If anymore awesomeness is possible).

Now I hope that the forum will remain..

I was sadded, shocked, & surprised when that pop-up's message was seen. Before it'd fully-loaded, I thought it was just some random adverts that OM has to financially support the site. I find it annoying & irritating, & felt that they should be obliterated from OM, but little did I know how diff. it is to manage sucha site.

Luckily, I did not tick it off like it was nothing. I took a good look since I saw a logo of OM, with 4-digit no. of LIKES...it wasn't any random crap. It was...the holy closure of OM. The 1st reaction of mine was a not-so-sad one...just a, "TOO BAD!" expression, even though OM's days were counted. Afterall, there's still a week left.

However, as OM's deathday drew nearer & nearer, I started to fear. Am I gunna lag TTM after OM, the unlaggy alternative, is gone? OM may not have such diverse manga series scans as other sites like MangaFox, MangaReader, etc., but it CERTAINLY is, most of the time, lagless.

Since today's gunna be the last day I'm looking @ the URL http://www.onemanga.com/, I scrolled down, & below were the usual updates...WSJ, SS, etc. Totally normal, but when I looked @ this message, it kinda...pains me. A short but simple message, yet filled with so much feelings all compressed in those words.

Maybe I'm just exaggerating, but it's...CANNOT BE DESCRIBED BY MERE WORDS. I guess only fellow manga fanatics like me would understand, but there's still more to just that for me. Not just the message itself, I have MY OWN experiences with OM. Yeah..., I think that's what you call...FIRSTs.

OM's the 1st site I've ever been to to read manga. OM may not be the site which got me madly in love with anime/manga, but it was the place where I 1st got in contact with manga...even when it's not physically. As I clicked the pages of 怪物皇女, I started to be more & more immersed into the manga world. My adventures in manga-reading started in OM, & the undying spirit to ever-continue reading manga was also nurtured by OM. It's...ALL THANKS to OM that I'm who I am today...w/o regrets (:

Behind that happy-go-lucky facade of mine hides the kinda...sadded one. I'm trying to cheer myself up with the same ol' phrase of, "There's still MangaFox & other host sites...it's ok...it's ok..." but OM, still, is diff. from others to me. It's pissing me off that I could do nothing...with all those red tapes lingering...I'm more or less, powerless.

OM may be gone (soon, that is), but I'll still have "OneManga" etched on my mind. Who knows, I may habitually type in http://www.onemanga.com/ every now & then, even when the URL's a blank, but maybe...maybe, through the otaku-filter, it'll be a sight of a site with FAN-tabulous updates...

June Holidays 2010

2010-06-27T15:38:00.001+08:00

In a flash, the June Holidays ended. By the standard of my boring life, it has certainly been entertaining. First off, we have the Leadership Camp in school.

It is the first camp I had been to in my Secondary School life and thank goodness it did not disappoint. The seniors that was with me are all very caring and fun. And our group leader had been very responsible too =) But We are all leaders in the camp, so I have to buck up alot and (hopefully) become the Chairman of AVA next year. And there's our fun and cheerful instructor, Milo. I thank all of you for giving me a wonderful memory of my first in school camp. (And going into the lake)

Thanks guys!

Also after the camp, there's the trip to KKnM with Jared. No photos for this journey though. Went to KKnM and Kinokuniya with Jared, and I'm glad that he seem to be enjoying himself. Let's hope he would remain as our 'comrade' forever =)
There's the second trip during the holidays to Pulau Ubin with my parents.We had a lunch there and took a stroll around the Sensory Trail area, while feeding mosquitoes with MY blood.

an unused Quarry at Ubin. Ubin means granite in Malay. Figure it out yourself.

A little dog i found under the chair at the place we were having our lunch at. Half asleep

Back at Changi Jetty. Saw this cute neko when we were having dinner at Subway.

I spent my last week of the holidays in my grandma's house, entertained by a certain someone and the uber old windows 2000 computer. Was actually supposed to finish my homework there, in the end, I finished Castlevania Symphony of the Night there instead.

During this holiday, I had not only made new friends in the camp, I get to know someone better too. But one regret was that i did not finish my homework earlier. Even now, my homework is still.. *Depressed*

Well, a good way to end the holiday is the rainbow i saw earlier on. I hop it's a good sign for my upcoming End of Years and Streaming.

Nintendo 3DS

2010-06-17T11:49:00.002+08:00

The new handheld system from Nintendo is announced. The Nintendo 3DS, which will be “set for release in all major markets by March 2011,”

Some brief specs of the handheld are

Size (when closed):
Approximately 134mm wide, 74mm long, 21mm thick.

Weight:
230g.

Top Screen:
3.53-inch (8.9cm approx) widescreen LCD display, enabling 3D view without the need for special glasses; with 800×240 pixel resolution (400 pixels are allocated for each eye to enable 3D viewing).

Touch Screen:
3.02-inch (7.6cm approx) LCD with 320×240 pixel resolution with a touch screen.

Cameras:
One inner camera and two outer cameras with 640×480 (0.3 Mega) pixel resolution.

Some new features are:

A 3.5 inch 3D screen

3D depth slider

Increased resolution

Analog pad

Motion & gyroscopic sensor

3D video distribution and playback

A 3D camera

Some Images:

What bcotaku feels

Well, after a long wait, the DS's sucessor is finally here, eh. The 3DS is slightly thicker than the PSP Slim , by about 2mm or so (I think) , but is not as wide as the PSP. about 3cm shorter. I think that the positioning of the D-Pad and analog pad is a little weird as i think it might be hard using the D-pad if it is so low. But i think if Nintendo make it this way, it would work out. I am also worried that the Power button might be accidentally pressed when we are using the ABXY bottons, but i might be worrying too much. So right now, i am just wishing that the price might not be that steep (who am I kidding), and that IT IS FINGERPRINT PROOF!!!

Leadership Camp Shirt

2010-06-05T13:45:00.002+08:00

I am just back from a 3D2N leadership camp organised by my school =) We're the first batch of leadership campers that get a camp shirt

Frontal view of the shirt. Kinda plain.

Close up of the back with our Leadership Ethos, using the acronym of our school.

So glad I went to the camp. At first, I was hesitant to for the camp as I heard that we will be doing Abseiling during the camp. I am acrophobic. But after thinking it over, I realised that if I don't take this first step, I would never overcome my fear of heights. I had alot of fun during the camp, despite it being a sec3 camp and I am still a sec2. I had made friends with many of my seniors.
Next year, If i get to go for this camp, I WILL GO AGAIN!

K-ON!! Ep 7

2010-05-21T12:34:00.003+08:00

This week's K-ON went back in time . No, it has not became a science fiction anime by introducing a time machine, it's just some simple flashback. It seems like the ex seitokaicho was a secret Mio-stalker
More importantly!!! After seven episodes, FINALLY!! A new song was introduced (that is neither the OP or ED). It's a song called.. Pure Pure Heart . Judging by the name, needless to say, the song was written by Mio-tan.

The new song was good though.

Well, here's something I must say to Kyo-Ani :

Ane Doki is back?

2010-05-06T20:24:00.007+08:00

Ane Doki Review

After much waiting, it seems like Ane Doki has an extra chapter!!! Chapter 26.50 - SEQUEL.

It is set 4 years after chapter 26. And it finally gave our beloved Ane Doki a proper ending.
The new chapter is only 3 pages, but it is short and sweet and closes the story nicely. But... I feel that second season may be possible?

Before you go on : SPOILER ALERT!!

===bcotaku's thoughts===

3 short pages. All it takes is three short pages and I am over the moon. The main event of the chapter was the last page. Kouta met Natsuki again. In summertime again. This time, instead of Ice Cream, it's popsicles. And no panchira.
A sad things was that Sakurai is not drawn into the chapter. Although it is said that she'd became a real beauty. I wonder if she's still dfc...

EDIT
CHAPTER 26.6 is out!! Omake of Ane Doki ^^ Funny.

Unboxing of Pokemon HeartGold

2010-03-15T20:47:00.004+08:00

Heya guys! Pokemon HeartGold ans SoulSilver version has been released yesterday. Have you got your copy? I have bought the HeartGold version earlier today.

This is how it looks liek when you buy it. It's actually pretty thick. If you guys remember how the gameboy advance cartridges came in boxes, the HGSS game card came in similar, but thicker boxes.
It's around two fingers thick.

There are some fine details on the background of the box, such as the Tin Tower seen here.

What's in the box. Buncha random notes on the PokeWalker that came along with it. Have no idea what's a PokeWalker. Will follow up on it soon. Also, in the box is the PokeWalker itself and the usual box that has the game card in it.

This is what that is in the game card box. The usual papers on safety warning and whatnots, plus the game card itself.

The card itself.

Is gonna start on the game soon, after my DS finish charging.

K-ON!!

2010-02-17T17:36:00.004+08:00

According to Sankaku Complex, the second season of K-ON! moe-blob anime would be named K-ON!! , and it's airing date is confirmed on 6th of April, that is a day before my birthday!
Hope that it would be one of the best present I get ^^
However, the air time is at 0125 hours of the day, during the Otaku O'clock where most people are asleep. Would you stay up all night to watch K-ON!! ?

Year of the Taiga Aisaka

2010-02-14T23:45:00.004+08:00

It's the Year of the Taiga! Did everyone have a sweet dream on her?

So today, BCOtaku has been going around relative's houses to eat many goodies and get ang baos. But seems like the festive spirit began even before the actual new year as similar to other special holidays!

Lanterns are found all over the market where my parents work at. Can anyone guess which market it is?

School is decorated with Chinese calligraphy.

Boxes of mandarin oranges up for sold. It's the Chinese New Year afterall

Random lanterns and lights found in the market at night

This morning, when I woke up and has breakkie, BCOtaku went to my grandparents' house to 拜年. That is, going around wishing them a very happy New Year and to get red packets from them.

My parent's stall today. It's close as it is the CNY. But the decorations are up, although not that flashy.

WARNING : FOOD PHOTOS AHEAD, DO NOT PROCEED ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!

Loads of New Year snacks and sweets is prepared. Tissue is there for cleaning up after feeding yourself, not dolphin feeding.

Love Letters at grandma's this year have a different shape. Is bought in Bengawan Solo if I am not wrong. Tasty ^^.

Basket of Oranges. Realised that I haven't eaten any oranges today. Hafta munch on them later.

First Dinner of the year of Taiga-chan is steamboat! Not only that but abalone, some meat ball thingys and also chicken wings! It was yum!

So that's it for this year's New Year! This is to wishing everyone a really happy Taiga year , have a sweet dream of Taiga-chan and to those that's still collecting red packets, wish that you would collect alot and alot, much more so than the previous years!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR OF TAIGA!

Generation V Pokemon

2010-02-07T22:17:00.003+08:00

A fifth generation of Pokemon is announced by Gamefreak today during Pokemon Sunday, by revealing the first Generation V pokemon. The shadow shown above is the Pokemon that is revealed.

Anyways, having played Pokemon since very young, BCOtaku is a huge fan of the game. Hearing the news that there is a new Generation coming out BEFORE the latest game is release in Singapore is huge news! So it is expected that BCOtaku is crying due to flying money. HeartGold + the Generation V game and if the game runs on a new handheld, I'll probably buy it too. But if it's a console, then that'll be the end of my obsession over pokemon. But since Bulbapedia says that it;ll be released on DS, let's hope that it's true.
When I comes out, I'll be sure to buy it and give it a review. Also, do expect a review from me for the HeartGold/SoulSilver english release.

Dance in the Vampire Bund

2010-01-27T18:55:00.006+08:00

Busy. That's what I am nowadays, juggling school, work(helping my parents), CCA and Otakuing, I have hardly any time left to do anything else. But I will still watch the season's anime though. First up, I shall review on the first 3 episodes of Dance in the Vampire Bund. An anime that I've been looking forward to.

For the sake of those who haven't watch it yet, the story goes something like that.
Mina Tepes (The loli above), the princess of Vampires come out from hiding and revealed to Japan that vampires have been living among humans and wants to make a special district for her own kind, despite that there are people (and other vampires/ supernatural being) against her.
The male main character, Akira Kaburagi is just a normal human that is skeptical about vampires. He lost his memory a year ago in an accident but the first episode reveals that he is more than what it seems?

BCOtaku's thoughts
Well, Dance in the Vampire Bund is.. very.. interesting, shall I say? I've heard that the reviews that this anime got from others are mixed.. Some hated it to the core while some enjoyed it alot. Well, in case you can't tell yet, I'm quite satisfied with this anime. The story is quite dark, but still, it's enjoyable. Does not have much complains bout it. Since the plot, characters, songs everything is there already.
Also Dance in the Vampire Bund has the most.. enchanting OP IMO..

I find myself being attracted to Mina's dance.. The only time i rewind and rewind just to see the OP. No, it's not because there's a loli dancing about wearing only a strip of cloth. I don't know the reason, but.. Well, it just made me want to watch it again and again.

I'll recommend that you watch it if you haven't. But you won't guarantee to love it. It's like Lucky Star, you either hate it or love it.
Also, if I am not sounding like myself, it might be because I've been writing many books/movie review for my exams, so I *might* sound more formal than usual ^^;

Find out if a Man is worth marrying by searching his computer!

2010-01-22T19:43:00.005+08:00

Recently, Sankaku Complex had an article on “How to Find Out Whether a Man is Worth Marrying”.

It says that to check if a man is 'suitable' to be married to, just go to his computer and run a search on the following:

*.jpg, *.bmp, *.mpg, *.avi, *.wmv, *.rm

And you would know if the man's worth marrying.

So this is BCOtaku's thoughts on it.

So does having tons of images and videos on your hard drive means you aren't suitable for marriage?
Well, I have alot of files of those formats (except .bmp, .wmv and .rm, I have no idea what those are, except for .wmv)on my drive (But little are NSFW for my standards. Or my definition of NSFW is wrong) . Does that means girls should steer clear of me?
I don't really think so. Well, it's not for me to say.

Having lots of pictures and videos doesn't mean that it is going to be all ecchi pics. Even if they are, what does this pictures do to make you 'unsuitable' for marriage? If this is really the case, I bet almost every guys would be unsuitable. Okay, maybe that's too general. But at least half the male population would be deemed 'unsuitable'.
That also makes me wonder, how many couples have lived a happy life after marriage with the husband having images and videos (not necessarily NSFW ) on their computer?

What about the privacy of the males? Do we not deserve any privacy? Or any rights at all? I believe that if you trust your husband/wife, you should not worry about them having weird files on their computer. But then, again, they only have the pictures/videos, what can they do with it? At most fap to it.

So to sum things up, Girls, you don't have to dig so deeply into his computer like Miku is doing above.

Sorry if I sounded a little harsh here. Just ended a debate session in school and it did got a little out of hand. =x

Weekly Shounen Jump is back, but Ane Doki ended?!

2010-01-15T21:29:00.003+08:00

After the New Year breaks, Weekly Shounen Jump is finally back.
That means One Piece, Bleach, Bakuman, Medaka Box and others are back up again. BCOtaku is really happy. Ane Doki's back too!

But. BUT BUT BUT!!

ANE DOKI'S ENDED!!
What?

YES! Ane Doki's final chapter, Chapter 26 is out. And I must say I is not happy with it at all. Not because that I won't be able to enjoy Natsuki service like this (Well, it's one of the reason TBH) ,

It's because Mizuki Kawashita-sensei did not give me a good ending to the story.

Actually, it's kinda okay for me, since it's not really a Harem ending. But the ending did not tell us if Kouta actually did end up with Natsuki. Me is not amused.

Me was so happy when I see this picture, I thought that it's more or less decided that Kouta X Natsuki ending is the actual ending. And I am supporting that couple.

But Kawashita-sensei gave us this instead.

An ending that's rather.. vague, is that the right word?

So more on Ane Doki manga now.

Ane Doki is a manga about 13 year old Kouta living together with a mysterious 17 year old airheaded onee-sama character, that is, Natsuki. Or is it the other way round?
Ane Doki is drawn and written by the mangaka of Ichigo 100% and Hatsukoi Limited. I saw that right away. Kawashita-sensei's amazing artwork can be recognized from a mile away.

I shan't reveal much about the story, but it basically tells us the everyday life of Kouta and Natsuki, and other free loaders at Kouta's house. It also dwells the relationship between Natsuki and her sisters, Kouta and Natsuki, and some others.

A really good romance manga, although I am sure that the story could be longer. The last few chapters felt kinda rushed. I could tell that the manga's ending without be told prior.

Ane Doki could get a second season, IMO, but it'd spoil the mood of the manga, since it's about the love between a 17 year old bishoujo and a 13 year old shota. The fact that the main character is young is a factor to why this manga is so interesting. No, me isn't shotacon.

Well, as usual, the stars would come out.

Art : ★★★★
➘Well, the drawings of Kawashita-sensei haven't changed much since Ichigo 100%, although there are some little difference. I found it kinda weird at first, but soon got used to it and started enjoying it.

Characters : ★★★★★
➘A really nice blend of character. A loli, a onee-sama, a tsundere, a shota and the list goes on. And somehow , everyone seems to just blend into the story, without making things feels weird, since I must say that the list is kinda weird.

Story : ★★★
➘The plot is very interesting. A cute shotaro boy and a onee-sama live and sleep together. What could ever have happen? Read Ane Doki.The ending pulls the whole thing down by a star or two.

In conclusion, Ane Doki is a manga that is worth your few hours or less to sit in front of the monitor to read the 26 chapters. If you enjoy other romantic comedy such as Love HINA or Nagasarete Airantou, then I must say that Ane Doki's just for you.

Overall : ★★★✰ (Note white star means half a star)
➘the art, plot and everything else of the story is really very amazing. But as I said, the ending is disappointing, to me at least.

Life in SJAB. Year 2009.

2010-01-08T21:02:00.007+08:00

Long Post Warning.


SJAB, Year 2009

2009, a new year, a new school, a new CCA,
Decided to pick a UG since school doesn't allow us to join Clubs.
Somehow, I picked SJAB. Why? I have no idea.
At first, the NCO were friendly.
They kept smiling and encouraging us.
Played games with us,
and taught us with much patience.

As the days go by, the seniors got fiercer and fiercer.
They showed us the face they never shown before
And started punishments.
I realised,
My Life in a UG started.
For real this time.

Week after week, the cycle was the same.
Fall in, Drills, First Aid, PT
With scoldings and punishments in between.
I remember when I first heard the phrase 'Whole lot, KNOCK IT DOWN!'
I never thought this day would come.
The Sergeants were always so kind before.

Then, came their POP.
We bid our trainers goodbye and welcome new trainers.
They weren't any more kinder.
We got drilled, pumped and scolded,
Week after week, by our new trainers.

The day came : Our BFA.
Filled with mixed emotions,
The squad went to the HQ for the first time.
Took the test and everything
Followed by a round of scoldings by Sir,
Our standard was just not good enough.

Somehow or other,
All of us managed to pass the test.
We earned our Private Rank.
We finally got our uniform.
Excitedly, I ran home with the new uniform,
Pestering my mum to sew the Flash on.

Training with uniform was different.
It was weird, in fact.
The shoe was kind of slippery
And it hurt our ankles.

Then, Sir came and told us this:
"We're going for FAC."
The squad was like
"What? But.. We're just Standard Ones!"

Our training schedule got packed.
Very packed.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays,
And even during holidays.
Day after day,
We were trained by our Sir

Selaku, Slow March, Hormat, Pandang
We learnt all these new drills.
We practised.
We learnt
And we got scolded

Comp Trainings was packed,
but strangely enjoyable.
It gave me something I'll never think I'll have,
An interest in Foot Drills.

Since Comp Trainings isn't CIM,
We got a little slack.
We trained without uniform,
We got off with most of our mistakes
And I guess I took them for Granted.

Organised trainings was over,
But our squad think it's not enough.
We have self training every week.
And we had lots of fun.
The trainings soon are over,
And so is the year.

2010 January 1 - January 8

A new year came and school started.
CCA started, and Comp training began, once again.
We learnt TOC and I was in fact, loving it quite alot.
Then, without knowing, CIM also started,
The Punishments came back.
I was doubting my choice of CCA,
And was thinking of quitting.

I wasn't happy with my CCA.
In fact, I hated it.
But it was so very enjoyable (except for the punishments)
I know I would miss everything if I quit
But I know I'll enjoy it more when I quit.

The decision is about to be made.
To quit, or not to quit.
That is the question.

What happened to those TV screens on buses after the TVMobile contract expires.

2010-01-05T20:44:00.003+08:00

So,the TVMobile contract for SBS buses ended at New year's eve. What might those screens be doing sitting in the buses all day long? Probably showing this. Would be better if the screen get taken down tho.

I am downloading anime but has no more space?

2010-01-02T22:49:00.003+08:00

Downloading anime comes at a price. You can see your disk space going down. down. and down. So obviously, the price is more hard drives. I can somehow see myself either crying due to no space, crying due to lagging or crying due to my money flying away in the near future.

So, today, BCOtaku here, which usually doesn't give a damn about how much space he's got left is worried. Why is he worried you ask? Take a look at the picture below.
Oh wait. Blogger's been screwin with the image uploader, so click on the pictures to get a better view.
But don't get distracted by the moesome girl having one of her moements

Yea, you might say I've still got 132GB left. What's the big deal. there's still quite alot, right?
Now take a look at what I'm torrenting.
Once again, click on the picture. No moe girls this time

See? Do the maths and you'll see how I'm worrying. Probably gonna spend all of my money on an internal hard drive + enclosure or an external hard drive.
Any idea where they sell internal hard drives and enclosure in Tampines? I'm the Isumi typed person that get lost easily that's why I don't want to leave Tampines. Or tell me which shop in Sim Lim/Funan can be trusted, coz I've never been there before.
Good luck to me.

What? Today is the start of the new year?

2010-01-01T16:14:00.013+08:00

Erm. yeah. So starting today, it's 2010. But I didn't realise it until someone said "Happy New Year" to me awhile ago. I was like "What New Year?"
So it's the New Year. Everybody had fun celebrating it? I didn't. I have to help out at my parent's store as usual.
2009 had been an interesting year, I've met many new (and often weird) people. It's also the year I officially became a Secondary School Student. Let's not mention it's also the year where I have to go for compulsory CCA and I somehow picked SJAB. Oh wait. I mentioned it. Let's leave it like that.
So, a list of things that happened to me in 2009 that is worth (and not worth) mentioning

Started studying in CCHMS

Bought a MacBook

Grown Taller

Joined SJAB

Get more active online

Started loving ecchi. Don't look at me like that. I only started liking ecchi this year.

Went to AFA09.

Love Lion by May'n

Got 1.5k posts on OMF

Became an Admin in CCHMSJAB Forum

Is the only non NCO admin.

Hated CCA more than before.

Get more exposed to Otaku in Singapore. Although only a *little* more.

Is not looking forward to 2010. Because it's the year where the Nightmare Camp AKA JNCO Camp is going to take place for me. Also the streaming year. Have to study harder.
But other than that I guess 2010 is fine. I'll be looking forward to 2011 more, since it's the time I become an NCO and get to scold people. Well, provided that I survived 2010 first.

Plan for 2010 is to live. Yes. To live through the year. Also maybe buy some stuff, my first figure perhaps? But have to make sure there is a place to display her (or him) first.

So, what's the first 3 manga I read this year?

1. Black Lagoon: It's also the last Manga I read last year. I was finishing it up yesterday and before I knew it, it's 2010.
2. Mayoi Neko Overrun!: It's the new manga by Kentaro Yabuki. The artist of TLR. It's really nice. Give it a shot.; Just finished chapter 275 before I wrote this. It's epic. Mana made an appearance. No more spoiler for you.

So that's it. First post of the year. Happy New Year evryone!

K-ON! Second Season confirmed

2009-12-31T14:35:00.004+08:00

It's kinda expected, but KyoAni's musical Moe-blob anime is getting a Second Season.
Is looking forward to it, but I know many people out there hate it.
Well, K-ON is one of the anime that I actually can just sit down and finish all the episodes without leaving the computer. Usually, I would stand up walk around or do something else after a few minutes into an episode. So I'm hoping that the second season is more promising than the first one.

Want more music tho.

Mahou Sensei Negima - Tentacle Anime?!

2009-12-18T21:36:00.004+08:00

WARNING: NSFW. UNSUITABLE FOR THE YOUNG.

Hello everybody! Do you like tentacles? This otaku here doesn't like it that much. But seems like one of this otaku's favourite mangaka likes it quite abit. No prizes for guessing who it is right! Although I have a huge present in the form of a giant kick in the bottom for those who got it wrong ^^ Yup, I'm talking about Ken Akamatsu, the ~~pervert~~ mangaka that wrote Negima.

The EP2 of the OAD is filled with many Chachamaru and Chisame goodness! And Chisame tentacle attack. Today, I have invited Chisame Hasegawa to chat about episode 2 with me. I've brought along the sotong creature that attacked Chiu-tama to help us know the anime better

Now now, Chiu-chan, what are you so scared of? The Sotong won't attack you.

Er..Okay.. be scared. NAO!

Oh never mind, We shall take this as additional fanservice, okay? So, Chiu-tama, while you are getting reap by the clothes eating sotong creature, please discuss with us more about the OAD.

Ehh.. Chiu-tama, it's not that cruel. Please, I am going to run out of energy to type more.. That's more cruel.

Hey! Don't ignore me here! I know it feels nice but =3 You're being shown across the net!! Hey!

..!? Er.. Don't cry.. I won't post it.. err..

Wait!! Don't run away!

Sigh.. It seems like Chiu-tama got real embarassed and decided to run off. Well, It's up to me now.
Wait.. I realised. I've gave you too much spoilers for the episode. Okay, For more Chiu goodness, watch the episode now!

eye catch!

Moral of the story : Be Glad that the Sotongs we have in our world doesn't eat clothes, doesn't raep you, and is not 1337 times larger than you.

AFA09. - A weekend of fun and games!

2009-11-23T00:49:00.004+08:00

So, finally it's time for the post on AFA09. Kinda sad that it is over already. I haven't had enough fun yet.. Oh well, at least the photos I took can help me somewhat to overcome the sadness. So the photos I would be publishing would be according to the chronological order in which I took it ^^ So pelase do not kill me if the photos does not make sense

So, I woke up at 9 in the morning, took a bath, changed and went to the MRT station. Took the MRT to City Hall and walked the the Convention Hall. Yes, I skipped breakfast because apparently, someone was there already and wanted me to be there by 9.55am. So of course, I was late. First thing I do when I reached City Hall? Look for any cosplayer so that I can follow them to the hall. I am afraid of getting lost, ya see. But I can;t find any, so I have to rely on ~~my instinct~~ the sign boards. So I found my way there.

So in the Hall, I went straight to one place : Tokyo Figure Show. Yup. the giant Mirai on top somehow attracted me so much that before looking at the Figures, I looks at Mirai andalmosthaveanosebleed. Well, I did not realise that Danny was there. =x I only realised after a few moments. I was afraid that I'd do something stupid so I did not approach him. Found the KKnM booth and Ryuusei queuing there. Hahas.

Apparently, Ryuusei decided that KKnM doesn't have anything he wanted, and he went to the Cospa queue. So, Cospa has something he likes. Alot. Kotori doll! His err.. future waifu. He spent $168 on her. poor him, hafta spend the rest of the day walking around resisting temptation to buy anything.

Oh yeah! I did not ask the permission of Artists and Cosplayer if I could post their work/pictures onto the blog. Please tell me if you wish for it to be removed.
Also, if some of the photos looked like they got cut in half or does not match the caption, click on it to view the whole photo. or just go to the album. Link to album is at the bottom of the page.

Hahas. Sorry, i can't post about AFA09 now, because I realised that I haven't got pictures of many cosplayer, only 2 or 3. A buncha figures from TFS though.. Just a spoiler picture for the post I am going to make tomorrow night(I hope)

I met with Danny Choo! Hahas very happy to meet him. I got flustered and forgot to shake his hands!! Noo!!

Shakugan no Shana S - Gender Bending anime?

2009-11-20T21:37:00.009+08:00

Our favourite Rie Kugimiya Loli Pettan Tsundere Action Girlfriend is back!! Yup! Our darling Shana is back and is ready to moe the hell out of us! But this time, in HD! The OVA Shakugan no Shana S was out and subbed quite awhile ago, so once again, sorry the the late review on Shana.

Shana is back as I said, but this time, in HD, as I also said. Click on the image to see it. Certainly not the somewhat pixelated Shana I remember. So Shana's awesome cuteness is also displayed in HD.
Well, Shana is still the Flame Haze we remember. Empatsu Shakugan no Uchite. But no matter which Shana it is, Shana is still very adorable.
And tsundere too. Sorry can't find a tsuntsun picture.
Well, one difference is that Shana seems to know how to have fun now. She is rolling around the floor while in a fuzetsu in Yuji's room.

Well, Shakugan no Shana S apparently happens after Shakugan no Shana II but i am not sure, since my Shana II is still stuck at episode 11. The fuzetsu seems to be always on in SnS2 and I kinda hate it =x

The OVA starts with Yuji and Shana searching a pile of trash for something. Well, they are searching for a Hougu. Yuji is complaining about the heat, but i don't blame him. Partly because it's Summer , partly because he with Shana. There's bound to be some heat (in more than one way, if you get me). Yuji wanted Shana to do a Jizaiho to cool the surrounding but knowing Shana, she'd reply with a Urusai Urusai Urusai!! She did. Shana complained that she is not an air conditioner. Hahas. Yuji suddenly found something that looked like a Telescope and peer through it. He turned around to tell Shana something, but that Telescope thingy is actually a hougu!

Okay so no more spoilers. I'll just tell you what the Hougu does. It switched Yuji and Shana's mind. In other words, Yuji now has Shana's body vice versa. That'll be the end of the spoilers.

What? Don't believe me?! Grr.. 6 pictures to prove that I am right!

1) Yuuji saying "Stupid Yuuji" while being Tsundere.
2)Yuuji going "Urusai!Urusai!Urusai!" and pinching Shana. Something he would never dare to do in fear that Shana ~~'s fanboys~~ would bash him up .

3) Shana going "Daiiiisuki!" The actual Shana is too Tsundere to say that. Well, I would have no regrets for the rest of my life after hearing Shana going "Daiiisuki!". Now if only that word is directed at me.

3) Shana with a crooked Ahoge , and with a expression that is a fusion of uneasiness, nervousness , confusion and helplessness. Totally impossible for Shana to do it unless she is currently in deredere mode (which she is not) because she is just too cool

4) Shana pulling her skirt up and complaining that her panties are too tight. Shana never complains about her undies.
5) Yuji covering Shana's eyes when the girls are caught naked. Yuji would just either blank out or nosebleed. And why would Yuji cover Shana's eyes when he is a guy and Shana's a girl?

And finally, number 6) Shana had a panchira. Shana never have a panchira. Unless it is during the last episode of the first season, when Shana is fighting Hecate, where her anti-panchira barrier is magically deactivated.
Oh yeah, above 4 photos shows that Shakugan no Shana S is filled with loads of ecchi. Pleasing me alot.

Shana S is worth watching. And the opening, "Prophecy" by Mami Kawada is very nice and the OP video also suits the song. Nice and funny story. Go watch it.

7 episodes late but... Kampfer at a glance

2009-11-20T12:22:00.006+08:00

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SOME NSFW PICTURES

So, I'm 7 episode late at giving a review on Kampfer at a glance.
When I first found Kampfer, it is still a Manga.
Yup. It was a 10 chapter manga sleeping in the depth of OneManga.com.
The drawing was kinda cute but is weird..

Well, she is supposed to be Akane, but.. Right now, comparing her to the anime Akane (Shown below), I can hardly tell that they are the same person.. Am I the only one with this problem?

Well, one day, someone told me that he is watching Kampfer.
So I asked him " Watch?"
And he told me that Kampfer had an anime and I was going "O.O"
Hahas. Watched the first episode and I laughed through it all.
So.. the story is something like this.

One Fine Day, Natsuru woke up to find himself turned into a her. So (s)he started to freak out. (S)he started to touch herself to make sure. Thn (s)he realised that her underwear changed also. (S)he is now wearing Shimapan. Thank god it's Shimapan.
Suddenly, the stuffed animal his crush Sakura Kaede gave him suddenly talked. It introduced itself as Hara Kiri Tora. Hara Kiri Tora tells Natsuru that (s)he is chosen as a Kampfer. And Kampfers are always female, so that's why Natsuru became a girl. And kampfer must fight.

So can you expect Ecchi and comedy with this anime.
Some pictures below^^

Hahas.
I'd said that Kampfer is an Anime that is worthy to watch if you like ecchi and comedy. There are fighting in this Anime, but usually it's comedy =3

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia

2009-11-15T12:40:00.005+08:00

First time reviewing a game, and it's Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, starring my daughter, Shanoa.

She is Shanoa, my Musume. She looks kinda deadpan here. She works for this organisation called 'Ecclesia'. My daughter is working already!

Don't mess with my musume, she got 1337 stats.

And 1337 equiptments

And 1337 Weapons

Mai Musume love exploring. She somehow ended up outside Dracula's door. Hey! She leveled up!

hahas. Above pictures are taken a few seconds after i decided to make this post.

Soo..
Order of Ecclesia (OoE) is a Castlevania Game, like duh. But what's different is that, this time, it does not star a Belmont. Or anyone related. Oh! And first time in CV history, a girl is the main character of a canon game. I'm proud to say that my musume is the first girl to be the lead.
So, as I said before, my don;t mess with my musume, as she has some weapons no one had seen before. She uses these things call 'Glyphs'.
So, ripped off from CV wikia,

"Shanoa is able to absorb the powers found in glyphs found throughout the castle and within enemies. These glyphs give her magical weapons and abilities and consume her magic meter, which automatically replenishes itself. She can equip a glyph in her right hand, her left hand, and on her back, marking a return to the two-handed weapon style only seen in Symphony of the Night. Each usage of glyph absorbs magic meaning simple attacks use magic. However, equipping certain glyph combinations in each hand will give the ability to activate a "Glyph Union", which will execute a powerful special attack that consumes hearts instead of magic. Glyphs can be found in certain locations on the map, or can be dropped by enemies; at which point, Shanoa can absorb the glyphs simply by holding the up button. Additionally, there are Glyphs that affect the environment; Shanoa will have to absorb these in order to proceed. Besides from attacking, there are also glyphs that will boost skills, increase speed, transform Shanoa into an enemy creature, and so forth."

Ya, my musume is powerful.
So, the story goes like this.
===SPOILER WARNING===

"Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia takes place after Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, sometime in the early 1800s. As the Belmont Clan had vanished by that time, several organizations are created in order to research countermeasures against Dracula and his army's eventual return. Between these organizations, the most promising was the Order of Ecclesia who created a triad of magical glyphs named "Dominus". Shanoa is a young lady chosen by the order's leader, Barlowe, as the human vessel for Dominus, but just before the ritual is performed, the glyphs are stolen by Shanoa's best (and only) friend and fellow Ecclesia member Albus, disrupting the ritual and apparently costing Shanoa her emotions and memories. Upon awakening, Barlowe tells her of his version of the events and orders her to retrieve Albus and Dominus.
In her pursuit, Shanoa arrives in the deserted Wygol Village and finds out that Albus kidnapped its inhabitants and keeps each one of them imprisoned in a different location. As Shanoa rescues them throughout the game, she learns that Albus captured them to perform some kind of twisted experiment in them which involved draining samples of their blood. Each villager rescued provides Shanoa with tasks that once completed, provide new rewards. Although completing the tasks is not required to complete the game, its final areas are only unlocked when all villagers are rescued.
On two occasions, Shanoa manages to track down Albus, who willingly lets her retrieve one of the Dominus glyphs. But when she finds him possessed by the power of the third and final glyph, she is forced to battle him; it transpires his objective in gifting her with the glyphs was to learn her absorption technique. If there are villagers left to rescue at that part of the game, Shanoa retrieves the final piece of Dominus after killing Albus and immediately returns to Ecclesia to perform the ritual. The game ends with her untimely death and Barlowe's master plan completed.
However, if all villagers are rescued before Shanoa's final confrontation with Albus, his conscience fuses with hers when she absorbs the final glyph and she learns that Albus's true intentions were to find a way to defeat Dracula without Shanoa using Dominus, as he knew that it would cost her life if she used it. He also reveals that the reason he experimented on the villagers was because they were the last descendants of the Belmont Clan, and he (erroneously) believed their blood would have the power to help him control Dominus without it consuming him. As for her lost emotions and memories, he revealed that Barlowe used them as a sacrifice to gain control of Dominus, a fact he hid from her. He also revealed that Dominus is made from Dracula's own essence.
Confronting her master after learning the truth, Shanoa hears from him that his true objective all this time was to bring Dracula back to life using her as a sacrifice. After Barlowe is defeated, he ends up offering his own life to fulfill his ambition. With no memories left, no emotions left, and with the death of those who were most precious to hers, Shanoa sets for Dracula's castle to put him back into his slumber, and complete the task she has spent her whole life preparing herself for. Shanoa infiltrates Dracula's castle, defeats many of his underlings, and finally confronts him. She successfully defeats him using Dominus, but seemingly at the cost of her own life. However, Albus's spirit appears and reveals to Shanoa that while using Dominus demands a life in return, it need not be hers. He gives up his own in Shanoa's place after restoring her emotions and memories back, but not before he asks her to smile for him one last time. Albus's soul disappears, Castlevania crumbles into ruins and Shanoa escapes. It is also said that all records of Ecclesia vanished soon afterward."

===SPOILER ENDS NAO==

Yaa... so my daughter's been having a hard life. So I'll cherish her alot since I've adopted her ^^

Hahas

Points now,

Graphics ★★★★ 8.5
-I'll admit that my Shanoa looks a little weird to those who played the other 2D Castlevanias. But overall, the graphics are nice. Not as dark and gloomy as Circle of the Moon. I like the death animation of many of the monsters.

Enemies ★★★★ 8
-Well, I liked the enemies alot. Doesn't seem to reuse much. The bosses are especially fun to beat. Eligor is especially fun.

Weapons (In this case, all the Glyphs) and Relics ★★★ 7
- The weapons are nice. But most of the weapon glyph have the same speed, so their difference is just their attribute, strength and design. Lacks challenge, but i guess the difficulty of the game overall somehow makes up for it.What i am not happy about is the lack of a super jump glyph/relic. The spells are cool, especially Nitesco. They got this new thing called the Glyph Union, which is basically combines the 2 Hand Glyph you are equipping and turn them into something more badass. Love the Nitesco + Weapon Union.

Maps ★★★★ 8
-Maps are fine, the Magnes point in some of the maps are really fun to play with. But they can also be a pain in the ass sometime. Also, the Training Hall is very fun. A map full of platforms that requires one to be an expert in controlling Shanoa to pass ^^.

Overall ★★★★✭ 9.0
Really fun game. Should buy / download it.

Okay, as promised, this entire post is about Drama Nite 09. I'll be covering the rehearsal, the actual thing and CCHMS Open House. =x Hahas. So, from after the EOY, the secondary ones had been having their Drama Nite rehearsal. Okay, granted that I'm also a Sec one, but I'm from AVA club ^^" Means I get to skip rehearsal and help out in the Grand Auditorium for the Technical Runs. Actually, the rehearsals are kinda boring, since the teachers usually just want them to repeat everything again and again, and doesn't require that much help from the AVAs.

See? It got so boring that the AVA crew decided to play around with the roller chairs.
Giant Mixer O Doom. My first time playing with the mixer. Okay, I rephrase, first time I've played with the mixer for such a long period of time.
The Audi during the rehearsals. No one sitting, except for bags maybe.
My class. Posing for something. Seriously, although I am the stage manager, their script changes so fast that all I've done is to leave them alone for 2 days and I don't know what they are doing now. Oh, they looked kinda stupid posing like that in their uniform =x
Boon Tao AKA Boon Boon AKA Oat Noob is singing. He's the lead singer that screws up big time everytime he touches a mic.
Near the ending.Everyone gathering. Abigail's the most extra. Everybody wear uniform except for her, she wear PE.
Ronnie playing the piano for the BGM in the play. Ivan's "playing the guitar", but when i stood beside them to tell them to start playing, Ivan apparently did nothing. In the end, Mdm Yati excluded him=x He too extra le.
Elephants walking on the floor. The floor mics are picking up very loud noise.
Some people in charge of the AVA of their class came up. They bought a netbook. I want a netbook =x But i guess that is a want but not a need.
Sorry for the upside down picture. I can't be bother to flip it. A row of girls in black. All from the chinese group in my class.
Yimei sleeping. Hope she don't see this.

Lol, that's it for the rehearsals. The actual thing. Lol.. Can't take much pictures except during break because it's really way more hiong that during rehearsals. =="
Hahas.
Lunch on the first day. Finally know why they put so much ketchup on the rice. It's tasteless without it. The egg is nice though.
Alvin, Chon Wey and Eugene having their 'reunion dinner' in a corner.
Giant time skip to dinner time. Eugene decided to order McDonald's but no one knows the number. There's Eugene ~~passing~~ pushing the phone to Yan Lun. We asked Zhen Wei but he told us the taxi's number ==" Finally Eugene called McDees.
Here is Eugene reading our orders off a list. =x
The dinner school provided. Usual canteen food, just repackaged.
My class's "Butterfly Dance" thingy. Screws the whole play up IMO. A perfect play ruined by this dance.
Poster for my class's english group.
Some class acting.
The emperor got up of his throne!
I realised that all the Chinese Drama has a scene like this.

Lol.. I know it's quick.But, on to Open House now. I'm there for the AVA stuff once again
Reach school at 9.30 to help set up the Lecture Hall for the principal's speech. Here's the Principal talking. But it seems like the same thing as last year's, except his year, he talked more about the 70th anniversary thingy.
Choir singing in the Concourse. The AVAs could blend in =x Their shirt looks like ours.

Guitar playing something. Alot of problem with this group, since their playing brought alot of feedback, which is the screeching sound you sometimes hear when there is someone using a mic
And it was very soft too. We turned the volume of the mics to the max too.
Dance up next. They didn't seem to realise that they are a walking Panchira Parade.
SJABs slacking in one corner. No one visited their booth it seems, so i visited it and acted as though I am not a part of it. =x I went like "Ecuse me, can you you me more about your CCA?" with a face like this: =3
Board O Badges. No idea what they are for.
Sergeant Lennon, Sergeant Ziyang, Lance Corporal Lucas posing for photo. Somehow, they don't seem to know how to pose. The official Camera man got pissed of at them. No the official Camera man is not me. Is another guy. I'm just extra =x
Finally they posed. Took the photo from the wrong angle though. But I'm still a recruit.. so i probably would get killed by them during training if they caught me taking their photo. Wait.. looking at the photo now, I think Sergeant Ziyang caught me =x
The scouts booth next. Poor scouts, the entire booth, only one person taking care of it. Comparing it with the SJABs.. lol

hahas the end!

Random AVA stuff here.

2009-11-05T07:14:00.002+08:00

As some of you might know it is the Drama Nite for the past 2 days and today. I've been staying in school for around 13.5 hours everyday, so I've been darn tired. But.. things are so fun!
Everyday in the morning, we would fight over on who to play with the mixer during the event. The mixer is something that controls the sensitivity, volume, frequency and whatnot of the microphones. Playing with the mixer, or as the current AVA club called it, "Playing the Piano" or "Being Beethoven" , is one of the most fun things ever.you get to enjoy the aircon,sit on a chair, relax somewhat. But it is the most important and difficult job, you have to be alert on everything happening and the slightest noise can disrupt you. So, you can slack while doing the most important job at the same time.
Okay, granted that the lights are also very important and you can also slack - only if the class currently acting sent a representative to do the lights for them. Even though lights are kinda slack, it's also very important for the play.

Lol. Would follow up on the actual thing soon!

A week of my Life 2

2009-11-01T20:27:00.002+08:00

Here's it.

So i guess My week is kinda normal, except that i visited my grandma at the hospital more often this Week. She fell down and broke her arm and leg. She just had an operation on her leg and thank Haruhi that she is fine already.
Nothing much this week except for Drama Nite rehearsal. But i'll go over the rehearsals on another post together with the actual Drama Nite soon.
So, pictures time.

The above is my breakfast at i forgot which day. Soft boiled eggs with kaya toast. Recently fallen in love with soft boiled eggs. <33

===School, so no photos===

Back from school and had dinner at Ajisen Ramen in Tampines Mall before going to the hospital. Had cha-shu Ramen and some fried squid thingy. Doesn't taste bad, but i won't say that it taste very nice.

Walked to the hospital. Apparently, my grandma's fine already, so she's recuperating (did i spell it correctly?) in a lil' recuperating centre inside the hospital. Went there only to find out that she went to another hospital to do something. So, I just stayed in the cafeteria of the recuperating centre while waiting for her to be back. The nurse said she'd be back in 20minutes. I bought a can of iCafe Vanilla coffee and i loved it. Gotta find out if any shops near my house is selling it. Mum bought hot coffee.
The dustbin in the Cafeteria. Filled to the brim yet no one's here to clear it yet. And it's suppose to be a hospital, where everything is (supposedly) clean.
The lone store of the cafeteria. Not sure if i could still call it cafeteria. Sells drinks and baos.
Reception counter of the recuperating centre. No one's there. And no, they are not hiding behind the pillar.
See, they are really not hiding behind the pillar. What if people needs help? Who do the approach? The cafeteria lady?
The coffee mum bought. Looks like poo and taste like poo.
So after waiting forever, my grandmother is finally back. Apparently, my aunt called some ambulance service to bring her back. She said that they were speeding like there was no tomorrow. There's my aunt paying the ambulance fee.

More ramen for dindins (another day of course) this time, it's Tontoro Ramen. From the little japanese i can understand, it apparently is pork stomach? Or the mean somewhere around there? Taste like normal meat though. i got ripped off?
This time, Side dish is fried tofo thingy. Not bad.

Err.. my week is pretty much like that. Nothing much. Next week's "A week of my Life" is about Drama Night , SJAB on Friday and CCHMS open House entirely (because that's how I spent my week.) So, no "A week of my life" next week.

Kobato. and Kobato. Episode 3 review

2009-10-30T18:17:00.006+08:00

Well, I've realised that I have not done a review for Kobato. yet, So, I'll do the review for the series so far and episode 3 together.

So.. Kobato. is an anime about this girl called Kobato Hanato.
So there!~

Err... not enough ar?
So, Kobato Hanato is this cute little girl going around to 'heal the hearts of people' to collect their 'broken hearts'. Apparently, 'broken hearts' sound very weird, so Kobato decides to call them 'Candies' instead.
Now, Kobato has this talking stuffed animal that breathes fire called Ioryogi. I'm assuming that Ioryogi is a officer or something similar in a certain military. Why? He acts like one.
Kobato runs all around the place looking for hearts to heal. But somehow, she screws up halfway all the time and got scolded / burned by Sir Ioryogi.
But at the end of the day, Kobato somehow always managed to solve the problem. Or create another problem.
Pictures time!

Taken from the opening of Kobato.. Looks Cute.

From episode 3. Ioryogi waiting to kill Kobato.

New girl appears in Kobato. I think her name is Mutsumi. She's Tsundere^^

Kobato's getting more candy.

Mutsumi in deredere mode? Maybe?

Kobato get pinched by Fujimoto.

Kobato's 1 minute and 23 seconds late for work according to Fujimoto

Guess who?

It's the butt shaking bunny! Srsly, I hate it.

Mutsumi's gonna get fat. The boy looks like a evil short haired Syaoran, no?

Hey! Piffle Princess has a store here!

Kobato is living up to her name and is trying to fly. (Her name means little dove)

Ioryogi enjoys looking at Kobato's nice butt

Straight from the horror movie called "Kobato."

Ioryogi missing.

Chitose is back! I missed her alot! Haven't seen her since Chobits.

Chise and Chiho. No prize for guessing who are they crossover from.

haha. Whew done captioning them.
Lol.. time for the rating!!

Episode 3 rating: ❀❀❀❀
Comment: Kinda boring, but Chise, Chiho and Chitose makes it all better!
Series rating: ❀❀❀
Comment: Kinda boring since everything just repeats. Kobato talks. Kobato screws up. Ioryogi scolds. Kobato heals heart. Ioryogi praises. New candy appear. Kobato screw up. And the next episode would repear the cycle. But the comedy somehow makes up for it.

A week of my life 1

2009-10-26T16:10:00.001+08:00

I ran out of ideas on what to write in my blog, so I decided to write this, a week of my life. Basically as it suggest on the tin, I'll be writing about my weekly life.. not too interesting I guess, since i'm not some famous people or somethin and I'm not exactly doing different things every week. So i think you'll see pretty much the same things every week. Bear with it. I swear it'll get more interesting soon.

So, this week is just like any other week except that i finally got my results back. Luckily I did not fail any subject. Well, I had never failed anything before...
Lol..

First up, since it's post exam activities time, We go to school a little later than usual (although only for one day). At the bus stop at about 9.30 am. The bus above has plenty of passengers on it. But the photo doesn't really shows it.
Boarded bus 10 and took it all the way to school. Trip took about 45 minutes. On the bus, I realised that where the first aid kit was kept in has a sign that was placed wrongly. Funny. Wonder what would people do if they are really that er.. to put it nicely.. does not recognize what the cross symbol means.

A few stops before Katong shopping center, a few foreigners wanting to board the bus, but does not know which bus to board, so they sent someone up the bus to ask the bus driver. Apparently the bus was going their way and they all clambered onto the bus. I got off the bus a few stops later and walked to school.

===No Pictures in School===

So school's over and I took the bus home.

Had lunched at the coffee shop near my house . I had the Mini Wok Noodles. It cost me $3.80. It had some balls made of animal meat and some other stuff floating around.

Went to school the next day. There's CCA so I'll have to bring my Uniform (actually the pants since I does not have the shirt yet). I brought the giant uniform cover and my bag that's stuffed with my shoes and training materials onto the bus. Blurry picture coz bus was moving suddenly.

Around 6.15 in the morning. No cars on the road.
Reached school at around 6.40am, surprising how bright a place can get in just 25 minutes.
Same road, about half a day later, at 19 00hrs . Still can see the sun.
Same road, except now facing the other way. The body at the bottom left of the pictures belongs to Li Jun, one of my squadmates.(realised that it sounds like he's dead. lol.)

The supermart near my bus stop. Used to be called K-Store but somehow changed the already stupid name to something even more stupid - Green Begger Supermart.
Similarly, less than half an hour later, it has gotten so dark already. But at least the lights brighten it up.I wonder how many figures can I buy if all of these lights were turn off for 1 week.
The bus stop at night. Only one person in sight.
Bright lights as signs for places too.
Random fury of lights
Helping my mother out at her stall. Saw lotsa leeks. Do you think Miku would like it here?
Dinner consist of take away roast dead animals.
And weird soup with things floating in it.
The sauce that comes along with it looks weird too.Lol at the headlines. Military Blasts Proposed Pea lol.

Lol so that's it for this week.

Windows 7

2009-10-21T15:55:00.003+08:00

Wow! Windows 7 would be released tomorrow in Singapore and this week's Digital Life already has a review on it.It seems that there's no negative things written about Windows 7. Too bad my scanner is down, so I can't really scan the article and post it. But there seems to be no complains about it. Windows 7 would be sold in the following prices.
Home Premium - $359
Home Premium upgrade - $219
Professional - $529
Professional upgrade - $359
Ultimate - $549
Ultimate upgrade - $379

Hm.. the price is certainly cheaper than the $788 of OS X 10.6 but the upgrade price for OS X 10.6 is only $48. Although I'm a Mac user, I'm really interested in Windows OS because.. well... hmm 1 word 'Eroge'. haha. I'm gonna run either Bootcamp or Parallels with Windows 7, well, sooner or later, or maybe when someone is willing to sponsor me a 7 install disk? Or maybe sponsor me 10.6 disk?

2009-10-21T15:02:00.005+08:00

I've been wondering, should I write a weekly report on how life here on Little Red Dot? I can't think of anything else other than anime and complains to put on my blog.. Suggestions?

USB Drive is saved?

2009-10-21T12:09:00.004+08:00

As some of you might know, something happened to my USB drive and that something made my USB drive not functional. But yesterday, after plugging in the drive and screw around with it in 'Disk Utility' , I somehow managed to get it to work again O.O

My sweet USB Drive plugged to my MacBook^^

To prove that it is working^^ See the Ryo there? Yup, it's working ^^

Life as a SJAB Cadet 1

2009-10-21T09:26:00.006+08:00

Today, after receiving the news that CCA is returning this Friday, I really wish I could skip it. I mean, it's after the exams and a day before the holidays.. and they still want to torture us? They think we are masochist or something? And to make things worse, we have to spend our holidays having training! A total waste of time IMO. But.. This is life and I can't deny that I don't like CCA and want to skip it, but skipping CCA would means that I would have to hand in a letter of absence.. I don't have an excuse to do so ==" Maybe one of you want to act as my parent and help me write the letter? ><"

But, I realized that I haven't do anything I was supposed to do. I remembered that I was told to cut a piece of card or something to be place inside my beret to hold up the crest or something.

The piece of card that I cut. No prize for guessing what card it is.

My beret after placing in the card

Also, I must polish my shoes ==" Waste of time much? Yes, but NCOs demands polishing.

My shoes after polishing. Shiny? Not so.

Sigh. Countdown till Physical and Mental torture time? 1.5 days. Good luck to me!

Why I hate CCA

2009-10-20T21:02:00.006+08:00

Lately, I've been complaining alot about CCA returning. Seriously, why bother with CCAs? I don't see a need to have them. I ~~think~~ know I can live longer without the weekly 4 hours worth of scolding ...

In case non of you know what my CCA is, it's called the St. John's Ambulance Brigade. I am a not-so-proud cadet of the Brigade. I don't have anything against the Order , but I don't like training that's for sure. It's so predictable.

1. Fall in in Muftee/Full uniform

2. Get scolded for taking too long.

3. Do parade.

4. Get scolded for not saying pledge loud enough/ not saying pledge

5. Do drills

6. Get scolded for not doing drills perfectly

7. Get dehydrated due to being unable to drink water 'coz NCO doesn't allow

8. Run to New Block for First aid

9. Get scolded for not greeting a NCO while seeing her while we are running. No, we didn't saw

her. It's her fault to walk so far away from us and expecting us to see her.

10. Get scolded for reaching new block late and not falling in properly out classroom.

11. Do first aid

11.5 May or may not get scolded for sucky bandaging/screwing around.

12. Told to change into PT Kit.

13. Get scolded for not being able to change in time.

14. Do PT/ CPR practice.

15. Get scolded for not pumping properly/ not running fast enough.

15 (ver.2) Get scolded for not doing CPR up to standard.

16. Fall in again

17. Parade again

18. Get released home late

Above all is done in 4 hours (theoretically, but it usually takes 4.5~5 hours) .

Come on, who the hell would be able to live to 80 if they have to endure 4 hours + worth of scolding every week and physical torture. And working in an environment without energy booster AKA Manga, Anime, Anisongs,forums,sleep,food , I can hardly go for 1 hour.. and those NCOs and ICs are expecting us to go on for 4 hours? Blasphemy!

No more CCA, Please!!

Kampfer episode 3

2009-10-19T13:02:00.003+08:00

In case no one knows, i've been reading the Kampfer manga for quite awhile now, and 3 weeks ago, the anime started airing in Japan. I must say, the anime didn't disappoint me at all.
Especially episode 3. It's filled with yuri.. and Natsuru was almost raped.. by 3 girls!?
Hehe pics from the episode below.

Now, it only that 'I love you!' is directed to me..No prize for guessing what this is ^^

So, have any of you guys watched Kampfer? And how was it? Did you liked it as much as I did?

(The sentence above is to the very few readers of my blog which i am eternally thankful to)

Rating for Kampfer : ❀❀❀❀
Rating for episode 3: ❀❀❀❀

Anime Personality Quiz

2009-10-08T14:16:00.000+08:00

LOLOL!!!
YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!!!
I took the "What anime personality do you have" quiz, and got the least expected result.. (Okay.. maybe people like Eve and Bethhy would agree with it but oh well)

Result is...

You are the Innocent anime person!
You are really nice and hate fighting. You are also very shy and are environmentally friendly.
In one of those magical animes, you would have the power over water as well as being the trusty sidekick!
....
DAH!! I gotta hug you! D//=

YES!! WTF?? Lol!!
Dun believe.. well only prove I have is ➪this

"If you were an anime girl, what would you look like{redone} (If boys want to take this too go ahead, anime pics)" quiz results

2009-10-08T14:10:00.000+08:00

Lol.. took another quiz.. this time it's the : "If you were an anime girl, what would you look like{redone} (If boys want to take this too go ahead, anime pics)" quiz

Lol.. here's the result

Vilian: Your the antagonist. You don't hate the world you just want to controll it and you'll do what you want when you want. You're the evil woman in the dark with all the minions at your beck and call.
Clothes: Dark long dresses or cloaks.
Eyes: Black, yellow or red; something evilily angry
Ambition: To controll the world and everyone with it.

Also, expect alot of quiz result ==" I'm kinda bored, altho exams are ~~round the corner~~ here, RIGHT NOW...
lol..

"Which Random Anime Character are you" Quiz Result

2009-10-08T14:02:00.000+08:00

Lol!! Took a "Which Random Anime Character are you" Quiz and this is my result.Your result is: Suzumiya Haruhi
Anime/Manga: Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
One of a kind, Haruhi is always bored! Everyday life is just too plain. Normal human beings are monotonous and uninteresting. She's dramatic, impulsive, and gets a bit angry when she doesn't get her way. She thinks she knows it all, but is completely oblivious to the fact that the things she's desperately searching for are right in front of her. Even she has some sort of power that she's unaware of, and no one really knows what that power is.

Lol.. I hope it's really true.. it'd be fun to be Haruhi, even for a day..

Everything's (probably) Okay : Not so Daily Progress Journal!
==== Begins NOW! ====

So, today's Saturday. Fun? Not so. As usual, I'm being bored to death at either the market or at home. So, what do I do? Make use of the time and complete my DoS. And. I completed it. Now I'm back to the state of boredom. It is at this time when you wish that the SOS brigade exists. The Save the World with an Overdose of fun - Suzumiya Haruhi Brigade.
I want an overdose of fun in MY World.. in Watashi no Sekai ...

Sometimes, I sincerely do wish that this world is more interesting.. I believe everyone would wish the same thing too. Why do people create entertainment? Because, the world is boring. Why do people watch them? Because the world is boring. Manga, anime, cartoons, porn,hentai, dramas - Why are the made? Because, their creators wish that their world is actually like that. Magic, Dragons, Ultra High technology - People write about them because they WANT their world to be like that. If the world is interesting enough, nothing would be invented.

Sigh.. looks like this is not my Progress Journal, but my Complain About the World log already eh?.

Soo... EoY are just round the corners. I must buck up!! But.. I cannot resist the temptation of manga and anime...And my darling darling OMF.. Sigh.. i just can't bear to leave Eveonder, Bethhy, Meme, Saku, CVI,Chi-U, Eger, Oji-con and the rest alone TT

Sigh.. Oh well. Live's just torturous.

After so long, The Great Ryo-sama (note the capital letters) finally decided to swim from the ocean of Youtube videos back to my Updates about life (not that i can swim, but oh well).
So, today, 1JT had the almost impossibly easy Chinese lesson. We learnt lesson number 31, smth about 民歌. it's so ridiculously easy that even the Great Ryo-sama has no problem reading it (assuming you know that my power in chinese is over [Negative] 9000)
Also, after school, since there is no CCA (*squeals* Kyah!!~ yay!`) today, i asked Yu Xiang to bring me to Kinokuniya, coz i wanted to see if they sell Negima volume 28 (limited Edition). Why? BECAUSE IT FRIGGIN COMES WITH NEGI"S ARTIFACT!!!

SEE??! Sexy right!!

Lol.. I'm surprised.. It's like senpai has no sense of shame, either that, or he is serious about it. About what you ask?
Whenever he saw a picture of Haruhi Suzumiya AKA God, he would suddenly stop in his tracks and do a Nazi Salute.
Silly? I tried to stop him, but.. he still insisted on doing it.
A picture of the Great Haruhi can be seen below.

Sigh.. Seems like my life's full of interesting people eh?

End of TLR

Saddest News of the year...

To LOVE Ru is ending soon!! WTH?? Crap. Shounen Jump's canceling it because the author cannot think of any more plotlines!!
Come on, doesn't it sounds suspicious?? The story suddenly ended with a swimming pool chapter.. There's not even any dreamy love Confession chapter and Celine din even get to grow!!

Anyway, the ending to the God of Ecchi Manga (IMO) ,is indeed a great loss to the World of the Enlightened , The Great Haruhiist. I would like everyone reading this post to enjoy the next and last chapter to the fullest.I hope that's not too much to ask.

Here's a Big Big Big goodbye to our To LOVE Ru girls,

EDIT: Link to Last Chapter : http://www.onemanga.com/to-LOVE-ru/162/

BYE BYE!!

ACME

2009-08-23T14:05:00.000+08:00

Went to ACME with Jared and Senpai yesterday. Although it is not really fun or whatever, it is funny. Senpai went thr, and realised that he does not have enough money to buy anything , so he decides to settle with 2 magazine, Megami and Comptiq, but can only buy Comptiq. Why? Coz, this month's Megami is restricted to 18+ Haha!! and he was so looking forward to it!!

Last night, I slept for a mere 2 hours, from 1am to 3am, so I am really tired today. And surprisingly, the 2 hours sleep replenished enough energy to last me to 4.30 in the afternoon, when I almost fainted due to no sleep + sick =x Bleh =P
Tomorrow need to go school already, since MC expire (right word ma?) on 16/7... Sigh and while I was away, there are some complete retards in the class that spam the classblog under my name.. screw them..

Note that this post is just to make Ler Jun pissed off

So, other thn my Not so daily Progress Journal, i must have a 'Not so daily gaming journal'

not that i really play games tho..

So..well, Ler Jun, As i said , this post is here to piss you off.

1. Pokemon Platinum.

-3 words : haha you suck.

-Some more words: Not that i rock tho, but you still suck. Took me 3 days to complete Platinuim, with all Pokemon to at least level 60++, but it took you HOW LONG to defeat Cynthia, wth your mons only at lvl 50++ , not to mention, with totally useless move pool.

- Oh yeah, another thing to piss you off, Remember my Dialga?? 249 sp atk?? =P

2.Castlevania : PoR

-Yes, i'm gonna say it again, you suck.

- I don't think i need to elaborate, Mr 500 hp.

Thr,

Hi all ^^

Ryo's back in control!!~

Lol.. soo..

10/7/09

Today's a friday as all of you all know, so it means that

1 - Tomorrow is Saturday , a Holiday

2 - No need to see Wang Wei according to the time table (Yay!!)

So , since we don't get to see Wang Wei, it means that the day's way more relaxing and fun than usual, which is really true , since this day passes surprisingly fast.

And, as usual, loads of homework (/ waiting for Jared/Leon to bash me up) and a short 2 day weekend break. Sigh.. what can I do? not as though complaining is gonna do me anything.

Although it is really good that we do not get to see Wang Wei today, but there is not gonna be any One Piece this week!! OMG!! Yes!! No One Piece!! Noooo!! And.. There's gonna be no Negima next week to make this worse.. And this is not all... There's still no D Gray Man updates yet..

Her father wants her to return to her home planet so she can marry one of the husband candidates. But she decides that she wants to marry Rito in order to stay on Earth. Commander Zastin has been ordered to bring Lala back and has already battled Rito. He reports to the emperor that Rito would be suited to marry Lala, after hearing Rito, who was actually defending himself instead of Lala, says that marriage is impossible unless it is with the person you love. Lala truly falls in love with Rito and decides that she wants to marry Rito after hearing what he said. Her father decides that, if Rito is able to protect Lala from her fiancés, then he can marry her, but if Rito cannot protect Lala from her other fiancés and meet the king's expectations, Lala's father will kill Rito and destroy the Earth.
