Weekly Vocaloid Ranking #125

2010-02-25T19:40:00.005+08:00

#1. 【KAITO・MEIKO】ホール・ニュー・ワールド【アラジン】

#2.初音ミク　オリジナル曲　「ローリンガール」

#3.【KAITO】Sweet's Beast【オリジナル】

I only liked the second song out of the top 3 rankings as I'm not a fan of Kaito. The first song is Disney's "A whole new world" and I'd prefer human voices compared to synthesized voices.

Birthday(2)

2009-12-20T01:01:00.006+08:00

Got myself a Mio plushie from KKnM. Shows how much of a Mio fanboy i am. Hehehehehe.

A poorly wrapped gift. Its being wrapped with newspaper :< (Jokes aside, it actually is a wrapper)
Its...its... SD Gundam! Apparently, its Generation Wars series, which I've never heard of.

Lets see whats this cool looking pirate gundam looks like!

4 pieces?

A comparison...the only thing is, now i cant see the face anymore :<

Thanks for the gift! I'll open the rest on another day.

Birthday!

2009-12-16T22:56:00.003+08:00

Its my birthday! Thanks for the wishes on facebook and 2 sms. LOL

This is the first time I'm having my birthday while not having a holiday. Due to the fact that I am currently on attachment. Though it isn't really a bad thing. PStudios kakis treated me to dinner at Manhattan Fish Market @ Plaza Singapura. Thanks guys. :>

I got myself a Mio Nendoroid at KKnM as a gift for myself. :D

Welcome Mio to my collection of nendoroids :D

Thats all folks!

PS3!

2009-11-30T21:42:00.003+08:00

Got myself a PS3 and rockband Beatles set last weekend. Total cost is around $650. The pain of losing so much money over the weekend ):

The guitar for the rockband is malfunctioning so i had to send it for repair. Currently only playing it with just the drum set and mic. I'll just have to wait until its back.

I downloaded fat princess through SK's account. Thanks a lot. Fat princess is.... a cute version of Rakion? At this point of time, i can only think ok Rakion as a similar game to fat princess. An interesting game with multiplayer. The single player can be hellish as the AI are quite dumb in a sense :|

I went to JG house today to borrow games; Disagea 3 and Eternal Sonata. More games to play over the weekend :D

AFA'09

2009-11-22T23:48:00.009+08:00

Went to AFA on Sunday as i'm feeling lazy on Saturday. Went to take a look at the merchandise and also, the K-On experience. Managed to take some pictures, but unfortunately, no phototaking is allowed for the K-On experience so i didnt took any pictures. ):

Be prepared for the flood of pictures...

Apologize beforehand if the quality of the pictures are bad. I'm no photographer =x

----DANGER ZONE----

Only got 2 things from AFA.

Black rock shooter badge

Stuff toy Rilakuma

---- Pictures taken from AFA ----

Strike gundam.

Red astray something...

00 Raiser! It fricken cost $420

Gundam wing

Thats all for the pictures.... Finally whew. If you noticed, the gundam gallery seems smaller compared to last year. I think it is cause most of the space are delicated to I Love Anisong.

2009-10-27T00:01:00.002+08:00

Valkyrie Sky is back again!

However, the provider this time round is GameKiss and not GameNGame anymore.
Currently it is still under CBT and no new of whether there will be a character wipe. (I do hope there isn't a wipe :D)

For those who are wandering, Valkyrie Sky is a arcade shooter MMORPG. Something like Touhou, 1942 those kind of game, but in a MMO form.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

And also....

I went down to CSC today to pre order Nendoroid Megurine Luka :D

PS3 Slim.

2009-10-03T01:33:00.003+08:00

PS3 Slim bundled with FFXIII!

I just wish that the price of this will not be too expensive so i can get my paws on it. Else I'll just have to wait for another bundle before planning to get a PS3.

*Fingers crossed till price is released*

化物語

2009-10-03T01:19:00.002+08:00

Bakemonogatari ended with a nice ending of Senjogahara Hitagi and Araragi Koyomi watching the stars together. Kind of fitted the ending song; 君の知らない物語. The only thing that bothered me is the episode title, Tsubasa Cat, when theres no Hanekawa appearance at all.

Its the end of this anime season! Waiting for Fairy Tail and many more animes.

2009-09-21T22:56:00.002+08:00

A long weekend just passed. By the way, this is not a blog post just to rant how i wished it was longer. On the contrary, it ain't that bad as it is getting boring staying at home whole day.

Watching mangas and animes up to the latest chapter/episode, I couldn't think of anything else to entertain myself.

Vocaloid Nendoroid Puchi

2009-09-08T23:48:00.009+08:00

I saw this commercial while watching Canaan episode 10. Super cute nendoroids

Couldn't post NicoNico video on eBlogger, its not supported. I should really switch to jugem. Theres a second part of the CM which i'm unable to find on youtube.

What hurts the most is what you treasure the most.

Resolve

2009-09-01T22:40:00.002+08:00

Ok, i've decided to take PA1 on on another time. Maybe taking around 2 months break or so. See if there are any classes available around November to December. Give me some time to catch up with what i need to know. Causative, passive, もらう,　くれる,　あげる especially.

Will meeting up on weekend to do some self study seem appealing? Might give that a consideration.

I've decided to give up vocaloid nendoroid puchi. Need to resist the figurine poison! :D

絶望 2。

2009-08-31T18:28:00.002+08:00

Called Bunka Language School to ask for my Japanese test's score. I've only gotten 70/100 for written exam. So I'm currently procrastinating on whether to carry on with Pre-Advance course which will be so much more difficult.

An idiot who never change his stupidity.

絶望。

2009-08-31T00:32:00.004+08:00

I was late on pre ordering Mio nendoroid and the pre orders are sold out everywhere. ): Hope there will be a re-release just like miku nendoroid.

"Shes" too glittering for me.

2009-08-20T00:04:00.008+08:00

Just bought a headphone yesterday which cost me $79. Good sound quality. The only drawback is that it makes me looks like a pilot.

Been watching this anime series called "Bakemonogatari" introduced by Ruohan. A pretty cool anime. Loved the way they presented it, reminded me of how EF does it. Awesome OP and ED to go with it. ~~Wanted to change my blog song but blogger is being hacked pretty badly that it cant even support javascript~~.

The number of masks required are increasing gradually.
I'm not sure how much longer the strings attached to the masked are going to last.

And seriously, what the heck is this emoticon trying to mean.

Does this mean you are hungry and looking for cake rolls?

新しい物

2009-08-03T00:55:00.004+08:00

Got myself a new phone, a Sony Ericsson W595. Not that great of a phone but its still better than my old 7610. :)

I also bought a new graphics card for my computer. HIS HD4850 :D
Finally my computer is complete and i can enjoy lag-free gaming from now on!

Music is back!

2009-07-28T19:30:00.004+08:00

I'm finally able to add widgets once again thanks to blogger not having compatibility with firefox and I had to go into IE to do that.

I'm starting to feel that 4 hours (or less) to do recreational stuffs like blogging/facebook/play games/watching anime is not enough. Not to mention that I am feeling so tired nowadays.

For those Anti-SNSD, you may skip the song if the playlist happens to be playing Gee. =x

And OH~!
I even need to use IE to post this. :@

Layout...

2009-07-26T23:27:00.006+08:00

Sorry for the lousy and ugly layout. Blogger seems to hate me or something and refuses to let me add widget (those things at the side bar) and neither can i edit the content. Seems like it is a problem with blogger as my other blogs are also unable to add widget! Might come up with a new blog skin if i have the time to do so. Might consider changing to jugem or livejournal. :]

Side note: No songs for the time being :D
Good or bad?

And oh! Heres a video of a Korean female group
Taeyeon is my favourite.

2009-07-15T00:27:00.003+08:00

No surfing of internet during work starting tomorrow! The only time to relax and enjoy is when I'm at home. Good bye to the short lived freedom :)
Hope that its a blessing in disguise.

Life is full of inevitability, maybe that's fate.

2009-07-11T13:14:00.002+08:00

Ok, NAPFA is bullshit. I get screwed by sit and reach every time.
sit up - 49 times
pull up - 12 times
sit and reach - 33cm
shuttle run - 9.52s
standing broad jump 248cm
2.4km - 9.42min

25 points, bronze

Thanks to sit and reach i'll be getting bronze and going to NS 2 months earlier :)

2009-07-09T19:45:00.004+08:00

Due to Assignment, AYG, Attachment, I haven't been blogging much. On a side note, all the problems mentioned earlier starts with 'A' :@.

Updates updates:
-Assignments are all done or I'd be having 4.1
-AYG is over, volunteered from 1st to 4th July at Siloso Beach
-Attachment is currently at Personae Studios L.L.P. An iPhone game company.

A rather cute and improvised version of your usual TD (Tower Defense) game created by PopCap.
The cute Sunflower generates sun so you can make more plants to protect the lawn. A rather addictive casual game.

Traffic lights are my enemy.

Maybe fate too.

I've missed my bus to school quite a number of times due to traffic lights. The bus seems so near yet so far.

2009-05-26T23:48:00.002+08:00

MGPG project milestone is over. Think it wouldn't be a bad grade since it ain't that bad.

Hurdles left for this week:
MGPG practical test on thursday
GAUD assignment 1 on friday
Japanese test on sunday

After that still will have more hurdles. ):

When dented, it leaves a scar.

im-possible?

2009-05-21T01:36:00.002+08:00

Assignments assignments assignments
It gets hard to type after awhile though.

It is going to be week 6 soon, and by week 7-10, I'm going to be dead :D
Or rather, I'm just going to be dead real soon.

There is a milestone check for Mobile Game ProGramming (MGPG) project. Basically it is to check that we have done enough work so that we are able to hand it in on week 7. The thing is, what I've done now, still has a long way before it is finished. So good luck to me. Programming Programming Programming. There is going to be an AYG meeting on Saturday, and I have Japanese class on Sunday! Hurray!

Even though week 8 and 9 are holidays, I don't suppose I will be able to enjoy it as a holiday. It will probably used to rush assignments and before you know it, holidays are over and no more holidays for me except for public holidays.

未来　は　見えない！

2009-05-15T22:40:00.004+08:00

I've just finished watching a Japanese drama called Gyarusa (Gal circle). It is about a group of girls who are "ah lian" in Shibuya. Then one day a cowboy arrived in Shibuya to search for someone named Imoko. The cowboy taught them a lot of things.

It is a nice show. Some comedy in it, although i do not understand some of them, they appear to be funny to me. :)

Happy golden week to all Japanese out there! That explains why i do not have any Japanese lesson this week.

On a side note, happy mothers' day too. Although i don't celebrate it.

I dreamt of you.

2009-05-10T03:24:00.003+08:00

Went out for steamboat with kor, howdy, ct, ivy and ver. Theres this steamboat shop with air con next to Headquarters at parklane. After than went to Mac to get ice cream. Followed by going home.

Only to realise when its gone.

2009-04-26T02:35:00.002+08:00

My body is aching from all the exercise done this week. Feels so reluctant to move.

Today is SP's birthday! Happy birthday to SP.

Went out with my secondary school classmates to celebrate SP's birthday yesterday.
I only got one picture out of the many pictures.

This is the Domo kun keychain that Vivian and me got for him. Looks cute right :)

日よう日

2009-04-13T01:13:00.002+08:00

Went out with Kor, Ivy, Ver to Somerset to catch the movie "Handsome Suit" 「ハンサム　スーツ」. It is a pretty nice show, with lots of humor in it. The only bad thing about the show is that the plot is kind of obvious. I shall not say what is so obvious so to prevent leaking out spoilers. With that said, it is still worth the money to watch it. Especially when the female actors are so pretty :D

Regret is what you Deserve for what you Have/Haven't done.

Haruhi!

2009-04-10T00:55:00.006+08:00

Finally gotten my paws on Haruhi Gekisou Ver. Figurine.
This figurine probably has the best looking box. Its foiled (shiny +_+)
For the time being, I'm not gonna take her out of the box. It is always better that way since i do not have any space for display. Sorry for the really lousy image. I took one with flash and it looked better but due to the fact that the box is made of plastic, there is some reflection of light and so i gave up on flash.

The picture i took with flash.

Image hidden so as not to spoil the monochrome layout :3

Reminisce

2009-04-08T17:55:00.002+08:00

I thought I'd go for a run for a change to my NEET's lifestyle, so i decided to go for a run. It is also to prepare for the NAFA. I realised how unfit I've become. Only to become tired after one lap around the shool + park. It is also now that i realised that the provision shops and other shops opposite my secondary school are gone. The whole ground floor are empty now. I thought i could have gotten myself a cool drink after running, so i had to go a longer way to the provision shop somewhere near my house.

Tsukareta! （　ﾟ Дﾟ）’

Valkyria Chronicles 01

2009-04-07T00:59:00.007+08:00

Well, due to the fact that I'm staying at home and watching anime. I have nothing else to blog about other than the anime that I'm watching. Makes sense, doesn't it? :3

Valkyria Chronicles is adapted from a PS3 game. The game is a rather tactical + third person shooter game. I also presumed that the anime is of a different plot from the game. However i do remember seeing some characters on the game.

Alicia. The heroine. Looks pretty cute too don't you think. :)
Moreover, she has twin drill :3

Welkin. The hero. Doesn't look very promising in the first episode.

Freeze! Gallian Town Watch! *Corrected by Yan*

I hope this will be another "watchable" anime so i can have more animes added to my watch list :D

IF - Imaginary Future

K-On 01

2009-04-06T02:20:00.003+08:00

K-On is a newly released anime this season.
Story of four girls in this light music club.

Ritsu. I suppose she is the "boss"

Yui. Walking Moe turn on. In simple, a klutz.

Tsumugi. Should be the gentle one.

Mio. Cool one? My favourite among the four :3

Starts off with starting of school term, where they get into high school. Ritsu is particularly interested in the music club and she forced her friend mio along with her and only to find that the music club had no more members and it would be abolished by the end of the month if there is lesser than four members. There came tsumugi who happened to stumble upon the music room while trying to find for the choir club. Yui is pursuaded to join even though she didn't know how to play a guitar so as to make four members.

One of the few on my anime watchlist for this anime season. Not many are interesting enough to catch my eye. I'm waiting for hayate to be subbed :3

2009-04-02T22:10:00.000+08:00

I guess staying at home too much makes one rot.
I forgot that today is Thursday. I thought it is still Wednesday.
I'm still continuing my no life anime-whoring and playing monster hunter portable 2 G on my psp. Somehow Diablo 2 is getting boring.

Currently watching Kaze no Stigma cause i couldn't find any other animes to watch.
Might be considering re watching animes cause i couldn't really remember most of them anymore. =x

I shall take the path of the Devil so Someone else can be the Angel.

2009-03-30T00:55:00.002+08:00

Don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your monitor. It is just a new 'MonoChrome' theme i came up with. So it is just black and white. :)

Quite lazy to change previous pictures into black and white too so it will only be for the newer posts.

2009-03-28T18:58:00.006+08:00

Just finished watch the anime series; Tower of Duraga [ドルアーガの塔] The anime was pretty nice with some humor too. The story is about some climbers trying to reach the top of the tower to slay the evil druaga.

Fatina is hot :)

Dont get fooled by the picture though, it ain't any school girl show. Thats just a screen capture from the opening. Btw she ain't the female lead but shes my favorite in the show :D

On a side note:
After this week, i'll have so much lesser animes to watch *THE HORROR*

To aru majutsu no index
Tower of druaga - the sword of uruk
Toradora
Asu no Yoichi
Akikan
Maria+Holic
White Album

Zettai karen children is also ending soon. My lolis show ):

On a side note:
Alot of anime series are coming to an end ):

New Interest

2009-03-14T22:06:00.002+08:00

Went to the IT fair yesterday with beng.
There isn't much there and the price of items there are like similar to sim lim square's-non-event-price. So only those who are rich or are not aware of the pricing bought things there :D

There is only one thing which i wanted to buy and that is the Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet.

Its rather expensive although its the cheapest table. Small (4x6) at 179 and medium (6x8) at 279. So i decided to try my luck finding a second hand online.

Still no luck though :)

2009-02-28T13:31:00.002+08:00

Two days of going out and returning home late at night.

First night
-Chinatown
-Subway for dinner
-KBox
-Sing
-Listen
-Walk home as there is no more bus

Second night
-Thompson
-Crab for dinner!
-Brian treat
-Dessert
-Took last bus home.

2009-02-25T05:50:00.002+08:00

As the title goes. A sad day.

If you look at when this is posted, YES! I AM STILL AWAKE AND ITS NOT LIKE I'M PLAYING OR SOMETHING. I AM FRIGGING RUSHING AN ASSIGNMENT WHICH IS DUE 6 HOURS LATER!

Oh well on the bright side, it will be holidays starting 6 hours later.

OMG

2009-02-23T23:17:00.002+08:00

Called Bunka Language school today to ask for my Japanese test results. Scored 9/10 for oral and 93/100 for written :3 Successfully promoted to intermediate 2.

Ok, handed in 3DVA assignment today. Thats one thing off my mind. However, there is still the fearsome AIGD assignment which is due on wednesday. Its like frigging 1 and half day to finish.

It is darkest before the dawn. How true.

2009-02-16T00:26:00.004+08:00

Got myself a figurine from Toys n Toys. Its almost a 50% off as they are having a sale.

I think that is the front view :\

I suppose you can call this a semi side view :3

Closer look at the face.

Somehow i liked this angle alot, makes her look cooler. Deshou deshou? ^^

Reason why i don't like flash ):< 1) It makes the picture looks 'fake' 2) It glares your eyes 3) Too bright!!!! Oh my eyes! *-* Oh well, nice figurine overall, including the fact that it is so cheap. I bought it at $50 when normal price is about $90-100. I'll be waiting for next sale to buy figurines, since it would be so much cheaper :3

Edited the 'flashed' picture with a black background using photoshop.

Feeling Random

2009-02-14T19:02:00.004+08:00

Just some rants from an Otaku point of view.

//--------------Begin anime rant---------------//

What is the thing that makes you want to watch an anime?
-The story(plot)?
-The character design?
-Cause its the talk of the town/country/world?
-Cause you're just bored and any anime will do

For me, i would look at the character design and the plot.
Ok, here is where the rant starts.

Let say you're watching an anime like... Clannad.
Obviously not everyone likes Nagisa but the story ended with the protagonist choosing her. I really did wanted to stop watching Clannad solely for that reason. Lucky they included a Tomoyo arc which kept me going. Oh ya, Tomoyo is my favourite character in Clannad :3

Another one would be Toradora. Sorry for those Taiga fans, but i'm not very much a fan of Taiga. Ami and Kushieda is much better IMO. Takasu you damned lolicon. ):<

There are also many other 'romance' anime with similar situation. So it makes me think what is the thing that kept me, or in fact, people to watch these anime? Is it cause you watched halfway and think that since its half already, why not finish it.

//--------------End of anime rant---------------//

//--------------Begin Figurine rant---------------//

I know i'm seriously being poisoned by figurines. ): The withdrawal symptoms are damn bad since more and more nice looking figurine are out into the market. The disgusting exchange rate of Japan yen. 1 SGD = 60.X JPY is one of the reason why i needed to stop buying figurines or i'll be broke.

I'll be praying hard that economic crisis will be over so the exchange rate will be better.

//--------------End of Figurine rant---------------//

GAUNLET!

2009-02-12T20:20:00.007+08:00

A fast paced hack and slash action game filled with lots of monster than you could ever imagine!

Gauntlet is a 1985 arcade game by Atari Games. Gauntlet is a fantasy-themed hack and slash arcade game which can be played by one to four players simultaneously, unique for arcade games of its day. Released during the emergence of popularity of role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and The Tower of Druaga, the game was a sensation, being one of the first true dungeon crawl arcade games.

Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_(arcade_game)

You like getting mobbed?

If you do, this is the game for you! This game contains hellish spawn to make sure your hero will not get out of it alive!

Gaunlet contains loads of playable levels. 100 different levels for NDS version and infinte levels for the arcade version! You can keep playing and never get bored of it.

This game is not for:

-The faint hearted as it may contain violence and gore
-Hardcore players as new english terms may start coming out of their mouth
-People who are trying to kill boredom
-PETA members
-People of current generation

This game is for:

-NERDSS@
-No lifers who love to grind monster
-Saddist who love to kill
-Arcade game lovers, especially those in 1980s

ESRB rating to be advised.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok the above was bullshit. The above is a game remade by my lecturer, Micheal Garry for AIGD and we are suppose to implement the AI for the game such as monster chasing the hero.

Serious mass raping in the above picture. Spawns are so much faster than the killing allows. Since its not yet a playable game so the hero is basically invulnerable for testing purposes! Hurhurhur all hail teh h4xx0rz!!@1!

Hope i'll be alive after this assignment. :3

New LCD monitor!

2009-02-06T15:14:00.003+08:00

New 22" LCD monitor :3
ViewSonic VX2255wmb
Bought it second hand at $200.

A HD Ready LCD with built in speaker and webcam so i guess its really worth it.

Now all that is left is to get a graphic card and a DVID cable to finish my computer.

Btw, thats my messy desk. And sorry for the slanted shot.

Second picture! since melvin said it looked squarish:

Catastrophic week

2009-02-04T03:01:00.002+08:00

List of things to be done:

Tuesday: Job interview
Wednesday: 3D modeling assignment 1
Thursday: Imagine cup game design
Friday: Japanese role play
Saturday: AIGD assignment
Sunday: Japanese lesson + AIGD assignment
Monday: Hand in AIGD assignment <- yay?!

As you can see, the whole week i packed with load of shit. According to that, the time to do the AIGD assignment from start to the end is only 2 days. Or maybe lesser than that. Good luck to myself and damn those who are enjoying their holidays right now. You know who you are >:3

And also, a damned virus from the damn school computer affected my computer. Although i dont see much harm but the fact there is a virus and its irritating me with "A virus has been found" -Lets delete it to stop- and few minutes later, the process repeats. To hell with the person who spread that virus, f***ing retarded nerd.

Karen girls singing my wings (zettai karen children 2nd OP)

Despite their age, I think they danced really well.
MTV always uses lip singing and i guess most of us should have known that already.

*Edit*
My bad ): but i think thats their voice. It sounded different in mp3 though :\

Even though i'm so tired and my whole body is aching, i still managed to lift the 'almightyholyzomgshbbq' pencil and started to do some work.

Drawing for 3DVA (3D Visual and Animation)
We were asked to design a character and then model it using Maya.

I thought of drawing a female elf.

Female elf picture

My attempt

It ain't that good nor bad either. Its so difficult to draw hands. Seriously.
This isn't the one i'm gonna go and model in maya. Just modeling the hair could cost my life. So the end product will be something more simplified so do not have high hopes. =x

Another day of Japanese lesson.

Somehow Ando sensei's lesson were never boring. He loves to chit chat and forget about the time.
Jikan ja nai! Jikan ja nai!

Kinokuniya having 20% sale for members till 29th December and we went to buy Japanese language books/Japanese dictionary/comics. Total cost $200+ and $160+ after the discount :D
I bought some Japanese vocabulary book. Contains lots of vocabulary so I can do self learning.

School will reopen tomorrow! This holiday is so short that it's not even funny ): since most of the holiday is used to do assignments.

Konata Izumi (Lucky Star)

Was rather bored on msn while chatting with Ivy and we started to draw.
I drew konata with msn's handwriting tool. It ain't really the best, but i think it is my personal best using msn's handwriting. For those uncolored parts, it is cause of the insufficient of colors that msn offers.

-Still trying to improve my drawing skills. (With pencil)

-Update (new drawing)

Finally, after one month(?) of search, I've gotten my ~~paws~~ hands on Hatsune Miku Nendoroid. :D

Just back from from another inward bound camp at JG house filled with coding, headache, fun, entertainment and bicycle-night-riding.

Riding bicycle out in the night for supper and restocking supplies is fun :)

Nendoroid Louise!

2008-12-17T13:58:00.003+08:00

Oh, its another new nendoroid announced by GSC. Its zero louise from Zero no Tsukaima.

Tsun face >:o

Crying face

The crying face is just so cute!

Time to get myself poisoned again >.> I'll gonna go pre order this one when the stores starts releasing the pre order.

2008-12-16T23:40:00.004+08:00

Happy 18 to myself :D

Thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday.

Thanks to howdy, ivy, jw, kor, ver for celebrating it with me and really thanks for the present although I already know what it is. =x
Btw that domo is really cute.

Pictures:

The cute Domo Kun

Nendoroid Kagamine Len! :D

Thanks for the present! Sometimes it makes me wonder if getting a surprise is better or getting the things you wanted is better. :\

New update done to the blog skin since the previous banner seemed out of place or something.

Changelog:
New blogskin
New banner (animated)
New color scheme
Cbox color changed

On a side note, i was thinking whether to remove the blog song as RH said that my blog uses lots of bandwidth which causes slow loading and i was wondering if the song is the culprit.

Watched ef - a tale of melodies, toradora and kyo no gononi today. I didnt had the time to watch animes till now.

I'll add more images into the banner when i have the time to. :)

2008-12-08T20:55:00.002+08:00

Back from the 2 days 2 night inward bound camp at JG's house. It was a camp organized to do our assignment IGAI - Introduction to Game AI and ONGD - Online Game Development.

I'm so tired now #_#

New Update

2008-12-06T02:12:00.002+08:00

Ok, I had this sudden thought about editing Hatsune Miku (The girl on my banner) to some other anime character look alikes and to make it into a gif image so it will keep changing.

I thought of editing Hatsune Miku into Kagami Hiiragi from lucky star, and Rin Tohsaka from fate/stay night. They all have that 'Twin drill' aka 2 pony tail or something.

Hiiragi Kagami

Tohsaka Rin

Don't they just somehow looked alike?
Just finished editing kagami and decided to test out on the blog. As for Rin, wait till I'm free :3

Comments on my editing please. I think theres room for improvement such as the school uniform which i was rather lazy to shade =x

2008-12-05T23:01:00.000+08:00

This video is so cute! I wanna get miku nendoroid soon ):

Kokonoe Nendoroid!

2008-12-03T20:24:00.005+08:00

Kokonoe from Kodomo no Jikan

New nendoroid to be released on april 2009! Gonna go pre order it at KKnM.

This nendoroid looks so cute. Especially with the movable hair :3

Doing the hanamaru dance :o

The backpack looks really cute too!

One thing i do not like about it is, the face that you can see the 'joint' of the leg which looks weird. Other than that, its a really sweet nendoroid.

Well, since it's release date is like so far away, I'll have more than enough time to save up for it :D

Sitex

2008-11-29T18:42:00.002+08:00

Went to expo today for the Sitex with melvin and yong hao.
To summarize it, Sitex is a IT show where the pricing of the products are not very cheap compared to SLS(sim lim square) with not many hardware sales and its for those family who are buying computer for their kids as holiday is here.

After visiting Sitex, we decided to go SLS to look for stuffs.
I wanna build a computer since my laptop is going to die real soon. I hate to keep poking the fan to make it work -.-

On the way home by bus, i pass by CSC (china square central) and bought shana nendoroid :D now all i left is hatsune miku on my figurine's wish list.

Origami

2008-11-27T20:35:00.002+08:00

I need to present about origami during tomorrow's japanese tutorial lesson as the topic i got was origami. Thanks melvin for donating some of his origami so i need not make, although i still made some.

I think those in the picture are rather obvious what they are, unless the origami sucked or you are blind but i think its the latter. :P

Enjoy!

2008-11-25T19:23:00.000+08:00

Bought Kagamine Rin's nendoroid. Just couldn't resist is. Now i feel like buying shana and hatsune miku's too...

No more money for sitex ):

Brought my camera to AFA'08 and started taking lots of pictures. Not too many compared to some people. I guess...

Here are some pictures. If you do not like anime/figurines/gundams, there is nothing for you to see here. :)

Some pros at work. I wanna be able to draw as well as them! ):

Stage performance.

Some singer. Quite a good singer.

May'n concert.
Due to the fact that photo taking is prohibited, and knowing that I abide the laws/rules/regulations, I did not take any pictures. So sorry ):

Some random picture to show how crowded it is.

Guy on left risking his life to see May'n.

Continued from above picture to show how packed it really is!

Ok i guess thats all. Quite lazy to write comment for each picture and i guess picture speaks a thousand words or something... so yea! Thats all for AFA'08.

FAQ:
Q: The picture are so small! WTF IS THIS!!!!?
A: Click on the picture to follow the link to a wonderful larger picture.

Q: WTF your photography skills suxxxed.
A: Sorry but I'm not a professional or something and i don't give a damn. If you don't like it, then don't look at it. :)

Q: Why are some pictures tilted?
A: Thats how i took them and I'm rather lazy to edit it. Either you tilt your head or you can save the picture to your computer and turn it right side up. Simple?

2008-11-23T15:23:00.002+08:00

I'm so caught up with anime figurines nowadays but i'm too poor to collect them. How sad ):

I forgot to bring my camera ytd :\ but i'll remember to bring it afterwards. Stay tuned for pictures of afa08!

Managed to find the 1/8 Hatsune Miku PVC figurine. Yay-ness!!! :D
Bought it for $79 (If according to good smile's website saying that its being sold for 5500 yen, which will be around S$85 or so). Maybe a good find?

So...erm, can ignore the last and only line in the previous post.

Tour around singapore?!

2008-10-14T22:51:00.005+08:00

Went around Singapore today. Maybe not so exaggerating to the extend of whole Singapore.

When around a lot of manga/anime figurine shops looking for figurine. I'm looking for kingdom hearts formation arts figurine. Managed to find some great deals but not yet bought. Maybe some time soon? :D

Kingdom hearts formation arts vol.2
I wanted cloud from this series.

Kingdom hearts formation arts vol.3
Sora and Axel for this series.

Went to chinatown, quite a number of shops and there is this shop with lotsa surprises. Like you can dig out some ancient figurine or something and the prices ain't that bad. There is also a shop which sells konata figma which is kinda rare as it is the only shop that still have stock and just 1 left :\ so i named it "konata shop"

Next stop is sunshine plaza. Another shop with surprises. Quite a number of nice looking figurines and also some chibi lucky star gachapon thingy looks kinda cute too.

Final stop is far east plaza where we first saw the kingdom hearts figurine that i wanted. The shop is closed. -Rest on Tue- kinda unlucky huh? But there is this other shop which we saw it opened for the first time cause it open at 3pm so we always missed it =x They sell single piece of the kingdom hearts figurine but it is like $8 more than norm :\ well, beats buying the full set. Pete sucks!(The disney character) Sorry for any pete fans out there but i doubt there will be any.

This marks the end for the tour for figurines :3

2008-10-14T01:14:00.003+08:00

Lucky Star's OVA was great!
Lotsa laugh and stuffs, especially during the MMORPG part.

A side scene in the "MMO" part which was rather amusing.

Heres a link to crunchyroll to watch it :D

Hoping to sell it for SGD$180

Man, such a bad week.

I happily bought contact lens this week and 2 months worth of lens are gone in just 2 days. How ownage can that be.

1st was lost on the 1st day I bought it.
2nd 1 was 'dead' today! And whats more, I just opened it this morning!!!

Both lens are for my right eye. Its like cursed or something.

Noobish me =[

Screw it all!

2008-09-21T22:02:00.003+08:00

Hi once again!

Finally the 3 days of work at Games Convention Asia came to an end and I'll be blogging about it.

The first and second day was tough. Especially when I was doing ushering. Man, how i wished i never chose to be an usher. Anyways, leave the bad things and rambling out from this blog since i doubt anyone will be interested. Even though I seriously believed the saying from that hana yori dango movie - "When you share sadness with someone, its halved and when you share happiness, its doubled".

Ok, back to business here. Ushering is basically standing there the whole time and waiting for people to ask you question regardless of whether it is related to GCA or not. How troublesome :\ It was like... 2 days of suffering whether its mental or physical. For the first 2 days, the only times I can get to level 4 (which is like a paradise for some reason...) Is during break or when I got off from the ushering work. Good thing is I ended at 6pm while those at level 4 ended at 8pm. The starting time... lets not talk about it =[

Saw games at GCA which is like...duh?! There were xbox, ps3, wii, nds and some mmo which you frequently see advertising on websites like angels online or something. Rock band is awesome maybe its cause i like rhythm games :3

The best thing which happened on day 2 was that i got a nds for the lucky draw. Kinda unexpected as i was there grumbling on how impossible it is to win lucky draws at the booth and next thing i knew, my name was called. Coincidence?

Skip some details... ~

Ok third day was fun. For I am like free from the ushering work, yay-ness! Since they do not need so many helpers, i shall not try and torture myself. So rh and me went to level 4 to help out. Helped out with the booth babe section. Come to think of it... its like most of my class is in that section unless i am wrong. Cause i don't really remember anyone from level 4 which is from my class and not in the booth babe section. So we went around, "patrol" and idled around. Helped with the booth babe competition. Can't really remember most of the babes' name cause i was there for 1 day. But compared to cindy(fashion designer... i guess?) i think i have a better memory as she cannot remember any of the helper for the booth babe even though she seen them for 3 days. =x

This GCA was a sweet and sour experience i guess. =]

Oh ya, for photos, refer to C181's blog. Thats if you can find it and I don't really like to take pictures because I think I am not photogenic or maybe I'm just ugly.

2008-09-14T22:05:00.000+08:00

Went to work as a crew for the KPE phase 2 opening which was quite happening.
http://www.swingkpe.com.sg/ <- Event link here.

Basically its a walk/run event where Singapore wants to break a world record of most number of people in a tunnel or some crap -.-

Started off with me not sleeping cause really no point since i was home at 11 and i need to leave at 430 <- yes you saw it right, its 430! Took cab with 3 other friends to the meeting place which is tafu lance 3 or something and that place is so ulu that the cab uncle dunno the exact position and took severals turns here and there. Well we can claim cab fare so its alright ;]

Reach there saw some people, chat and stuffs and they told us to change to the event shirt -.- Then theres no point in asking us to wear red shirt in the first place. Anyways, blah blah and we were briefed on what to do and had lunch. I swear i didnt feel like eating. Maybe its too early or something. Then shortly after that, the crowd came...

I started off by pass each of those who register a lantern. Well, these lantern are special, they are dam cheapo oh well, this event is free anyways so what you expect =x Then some this weird auntie who gave us a mango said she cannot finish -.- who the heck will bring a mango to the walk anyway we left it somewhere and don't know where it disappeared to =x Blah Blah and stuffs...typical Singaporean style:

Auntie: eh, the lantern not fully round 1, i want to change.
Me: .... ok take this.
Auntie: this 1 also not round 1.

The thing is... the lanterns are contained in a box and they are like being squashed so cant help some parts of it being squashed or something...Dam aunties!

Just when i though this was what i was gonna do for the whole day, real hell arrived =x its the give-the-goodie-bag part.

I swear to you that i truly understand the level of kiasuism of Singaporean after this event, I swear!
It is still alright when the first few people arrived at the finish point and we passed them a goodie bag and a certificate. The middle part was the worst, where most of the people arrives. Its like worse than queuing for hello kitty. I kept seeing hands stretching out all wanting to snatch for the goodie bag and some uncle aunties like keep grabbing then some see le not very happy. Then some keep taking and others don't have a chance. Some even more power pack, stretch hand from under the fence and kope the goodie bag -.-

After the crowd slowly lessened, it was much better. Now i have a new theory for myself. Its either I be the first or the last. The middle ones are bound to die -.-
Anyways, there are still tons of goodie bags left after giving finish them all, so i see no point in snatching as if theres no tomorrow.

After that, we were brought out to debrief. Then we saw some 'car exhibition' or something. First showed motorbikes followed by some retro cars then the all-power-packed lamborghini. Saw alot of differet models. The converters had a loud engine which was awesome! I want 1 too =[

Thats about all... long blog post.

2008-08-04T00:18:00.011+08:00

OK! Cause i cannot do IN3D and GRDV so i decided to do GADS
I need to create a prototype for my game design project which is a real time strategy game. Heres what i came up with using flash. (Note that this is not the final thing but just a test preview.)

2008-07-17T20:15:00.004+08:00

OMG! FINALLY A DECENT BLOG POST?!

Yeah! For those who have been swearing the past few days/weeks/months, finally an update =x

Today in Game Design class, we were asked to create a level for a game which consist of a purple, red and yellow robot, ice cube and a wooden log.

This is what my group came up with =x

This is what the level looks like:

This is after then logs falls and the red fiery robot eat the wood and he gain fuel and therefore the bigger fire:

PS: The ice block is supposed to put out the fire of the red robot so he "freezes" so you can save the cute and poor looking yellow.
