10047822a

This will be my next must-buy item. This character is apparently from a PC game called Ringetsu, after digging some facts, it is actually an adult game : Getchu Link. LOL this is quite unique, a semi-nude figure from an eroge (erotic game), and you certainly dun hav to be a fan to love this figure, definitely must-have. According to some sources, this figure will only be released by Toys Planning at the end of April. Not sure about the scale but it stands 17cm tall, standard retail price 4000yen. I’ve got more than enough on me pocket but still hoping for its availability in the local toys & figures retailer, XL-Shop.

English Is But A Life

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Yay, the first essay exercise my teach gave me after weeks of literature components. Good god, it really had been a while since I last write an essay, the long hibernation really froze me brain, it didn’t go smoothly and took me quite a long time too, maybe two periods lol, but I did my best. And I think it was long, one and a half page in narrow lines foolscap paper.

I really thought that I just sent a bomb, but it turned out shocking. I was surprised at how many grammar errors I made, though the teach did compliment me on good sentence structure and vocab, grammar mistakes only allowed me to get a D (28/50). My marks is considered a good start though, my friends getting 8-16, which, if I’m not mistaken is ungraded. "The first time we should just laught about it", so she says after telling a story of his student who got ungraded where he got A for PMR lol, as he overcame the obstacles he passed SPM english A with his essay A2. z0MG ME FAILS IN ENGLISH, HOW TO TAKE ENGLISH 1119 LIKE THIS? lol lol chill out dudes, I really need to buckle down and read some books. It’s tough, but I’d say it’s challenging, english is one subject I don’t mind dying  to try to master it.

The marking standards have really been raised, and yea I do agree that PMR is too generous with the marks. PMR is shite, 8As dun even worth a pound of shite, I realized that all was too over-rated for PMR. LOL this blog is shite too, it won’t help me anyway in english, but chill! Tis’ just for fun.

Airbrush

Monday, February 6th, 2006

I mentioned that I decided to get myself an airbrush set. I’ve yet to do some research on airbrush, one good source is Child of Mecha’s ‘The Airbrush Thread’, since it’s a forum thread, it will take quite a while to read all the posts page by page and compile the data. For the time being, I came up with the setup below :

  • Mr.Linear Compressor Petit-Com - ¥13000
    Gun519594b

       

  • Procon Boy SAe Single Action - ¥7800
    Gun516784b

       

  • Mr. Air Regulator with Mr. Air Hose & Stand - ¥2800
    Gun517675b

       

  • Mr. Stand & Tray - ¥1000
  • Mr. Air Hose 1/8(S) Spiral - ¥2300
  • Mr. Joint Set - ¥1200

 

The compressor is Gunze’s Petit-com, I chose it because of the reasonable price and simple design, it is also the same compressor Danny Choo uses. For the airbrush, I preferred Gunze’s Procon Boy SAe Single Action ( Double Action looks difficult to use, not to mention the price ). Honestly I’m kind of a Gunze Sangyo fanboy, that’s why I got the entire setup from Gunze. Grand Total : ¥28 100 / RM885

1リットルの涙

1litre

The guy in the drama looked like Ariel from Peter Pan.

   
The title translates ‘1 litre of tears‘. Based on a true story, this drama series is about Aya Ikeuchi who is suffering from some kind of an incurable disease, but lived her life to the fullest until her death at 25; The original story is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen.

The drama has been around for quite awhile already, It is probably a bit late for me to write something about it, sorry I’m not active in the japanese dorama scene. Judging by the title, you’d probably guessed that it’s a sad drama. Upon watching the first episode, I have to say it is damn sad. My heart was so full I almost felt like crying lol. More likely than not, I would cry for real if I continue watching the next episodes. I decide not to watch the entire series, I fear that it would affect me and it would take me a week or two to get over it.
