Apologies for the late post, was too shag after the concert last night and didn't had the energy to post before snoozing off.

May'N concert was really blast. Glad I was able to attend it. Most remarkably, I managed to get myself standing at the barricade, some what closest possible distance from the stage without paying for black diamond VP passes. (Ashley, my brother and I camp at the barricade from 4pm all the way until to the start of the concert, which is 7pm. Pretty impressive eh? Isaiah joined us around 5-6pm, Zheng Yi was too late to be able to squeeze into the front line. So too bad for quad-booster =D

Listening her songs live on stage is really different from listening to the song tracks. And her voice is really powerful and able drive the crowd wild =D

I should buy her album when it's released in SG.. or was it released already? =/

Entrance of AFA08

I've just returned from the Suntec Exhibition Halls; grounds of the AFA08. Had a glimpse of almost everything that I wanted to see at the festival, exception for the lot of the cosplayers and Ichirou Mizuki. There wasn't that many cosplayers that came down today as the competition is tomorrow, and besides that, I'm not a fan of Ichirou Mizuki.

Much thanks to Edmund and his GF, not forgetting Teow Yong for queuing up and getting tickets for me and company. If not I'd be joining the 1hour queue just to get my arse into the convention hall, lol. From what Edmund and Teow Yong told me, the queue at 9:15am needed an hour just to reach the booth counter.. the crowd were queuing from the booth (located at the middle of the level) to 1 end, and then U-turning, all the way to the other end.. that is 1 hell of a queue..
Fortunately the organizers decided to open the booth before the scheduled timing and cleared as much crowd as possible.. guess the queue was too overwhelming, and they were afraid that it would cause problem for the iProperty (1 floor down), or the books sales (1 floor up).

Figures, manga and anime aside, I think the organizers of AFA has a very efficient noob cosplay filter, LOL! I'm totally serious about this. The difference between the "free-rein" cosplay events and a official cosplay event is A LOT. Although some of the cosplayers do not have the looks, most of them are still acceptable as a human. You won't be able to see any fat leena lee(s), or obease sailor moon, or C.C. that just spoils your appetite. This is really a rare sight, haha; hope the cosplay competition tomorrow will not disappoint me =/

Regarding the exclusive 1/100 Trans-am Exia 001 model (pink), which is made of clear plastic, it's not really an eye-candy. You can see it for yourselve. The blue tran-am version which is 1/144 is much better; other than it being 135mm tall, it's overall better than the other version.
However, the Double-O gundam which is released next month (December), is much more detailed and is better looking!

POL-ITE competition was hosted yesterday by NP, on SP field. Went there to support a bit before leaving off in the evening.

There were some "interesting" incidents that occurred during the compy. First was a TP archery from the Novice category getting DQ'd; Mind you.. NOVICE Category..
Still haven't got any info on how he/she got disqualified.

The other incident thats worth mentioning is that Gerald got injured when his board mate pulled out an arrow, that gouged his lips. Ouch! Although I don't see that victim traumatized, I think it should be natural that the guy should be very apologetic, and try to help him out, but I didn't see that happen.

In my opinion, this is 2 sided fault. It's the archer fault for not checking if there's any1 behind him, before he starts pulling out the arrow, and obviously it's Gerald fault for standing behind the guy while he's pulling out arrows -_-

**sigh..

Either way, I went to meet up with Isaiah and Jaden at kknm; without ZY as usual. Saw the Haruhi Petit Set #3 that worth $99 in 1 of the shop. (And rated at $120) at Kallang Leisure Park. Another Petit Set that interests me is ToLoveRu version. Consists of Lala, Haruna, Yami, Saki, Kotegawa, and of couse Mikan! 1 set for the cost of $66; $11 each >.>
>>Link>>


Maybe I'll get it next month or something.. (saving money for this weekend's AFA, incase of exclusive figurines; lol)

In any case, I bought the Nanoha Striker Set #2, with the variant Signum. =)
Aswell as Nanoha Striker Set #1, Nanoha, Lulu, and Teana.. missing Vita and Subaru >.> If anyone knows where I can get this 2, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.

Some guy from SPSU gave me a school magazine. I took it along with me as I walked to the MPF (Multi-purpose Field) to setup my Bow. As I had to run off to do change the media of the cells for my project later, I didn't shoot yet, and chat with Samuel and WaiJack.

So I rush off to the lab as soon as Lex ring me up.

Nothing much happened while I was doing cell-culturing, except that I saw Ryan at the same Lab which I was working in.

After finish changing the media, when I got back to the MPF, guess what I saw?

THESE!!!


I can't stand your pretty face!


EAT ARROWS!


SAME GOES FOR YOU!


HEADSHOT!


Business plans? DIE!!


We don't need your schemes!!


Death by Firing Squad!


Kill them on the name of OBAMA! (lol!)


Your benefits from making vaccines are to be shot ALIVE!


Die while jumping! yeah!


Bring THEM together, and be Shot!


We don't need males as POW! (=x)


Stress RELIEF in progress.


Stick man are so flimsy.

First and foremost, please forgive me for my sick sense of humour. I have been deeply traumatized after watching the movie "Tropic Thunder." And I'm still in the mist of finding a remedy for it.

All I can say is.. I will not reveal who the culprits are.. (LOL!)
*What arrows am I using? Easton; Extremes?

I finally got my hands onto the MP4 Player. I got tired of waiting for the shop to "replenish." To be honest, it really seems too much of a good deal. Island-wide is selling that mp4 package for $299, inclusive of GST. The lowest I could find was $295.
And Song Brothers told me that they were selling it at $250!! ($267.50)

Thus, I decided to drop by a electronic shop in Toa Payoh, which is so much closer to me, compared to Sim Lim Square, to purchase 1.



This is the box packaging, nicely done isnt it?





The pictures are abit distorted as I had to change their dimension to fit into my blog template given space.. but they really looks that much more appealing in reality. =)


Another angle.

The first reactions from my Class Tutor (Dr. Ong) and Jon Seah was quite hilarious. Like IT nubs =x Both of them commented that I have changed my phone. And when I fiddled around with it, they were wondering.. where's the keypad? Touch screen? I ain't touching the screen.. (lol!)

Dr. Ong even commented that I have class, and said that not many people of my age has it. Makes me wonder if he ever been to Bugis Street, or Far East Plaza =/ Or maybe those are classified along with mud(s) and mina(s) =x
*No offense to my Muslim friends, as I was just classifying them along with the category with Chinese "Ah Beng" and "Ah Lian"
The sight of Chio Bu smoking just turns me off COMPLETELY. -_-

And yeah, thx to Hafiz's luck in picking up a free bluetooth stereo headset from the lab, he got to use my charger until I manage to get another set from Wisma.
