(Dailybits) Experimental photography?

This is a scan of a cross-processed photograph. ^^ The cost of using traditional photography in this style is  half the price of a nendo for the film and developing of the photos.

Nothing like a little nyan nyan from Misao to spice up my day. =)

(Dailybits) Figma Misao

November 11, 2009 dcal 9 comments

I think I might be one of the few who got Figma Kagami for just Misao’s head. =D Misao-chan is soooooo darn cute~!

Kagami will probably never see the light of day… at least on this blog. =P

Gotta find some time to bring out all the figma girls to have some fun. ^^

(Dailybits) AFA Tickets

I picked up my ticket for Anime Festival Asia aka AFA 09. ^^ So glad that I was able to get the tickets today instead of making a trip down to Suntec on the Friday before the event to collect the tix. Much love to KKnM for making things so much easier.

I was at AFA 08 and enjoyed myself .  Many things have happened since then and my addiction to Nendoroids has introduced me to a new circle of friends. So this year’s event looks to be as deliciously promising as the website suggests it to be. =)

Unfortunately, I’ll be missing out on attending the concert.  The ticket prices are simply too steep and I need to save up for my upcoming trip to Japan this December (WINTER COMIKET HERE I COME~!). All I can hope for is that I’ll be able to squeeze into the public viewing area and catch a few glimpses of the performances.

Photobucket

The sad thing about AFA 09 is that it’s right before the submissions for my major assignments. So I’ll have to spend half my time stalking a-world-famous-blogger-who-shares-the-same-initials-as-me and the rest of the time trying to type out a few thousand words for a literature essay on Sebby. Oh well, I’ll just try to finish up all my work before running wild around the event hall. =P

Is everyone excited about AFA 09 yet?

(Dailybits) Unagi-don

It has been quite a hellish week. But for Reisen-chan, I don’t know if she feels trapped, or elated for having been immersed in her favourite Unagi-don. =D

(Dailybits) Loot

Yuki: Oro? Ra-ki-Tsu-ta?


About two weeks ago (?), I spent alot of monnies to support the Lucky Star franchise. ^^”" Though I’m not quite the hardcore LS fan, I do adore the series and will have to find time to re-watch the anime. My favourite character has to be Konata and I aspire to be like Kuroi-Sensei.

The day started out as a casual visit to KKnM, with no intention of getting anything at all. But when I walked into the shop, I could not help but notice the LS line-up of figmas on display. I’ve been thinking of getting the LS girls for a while now, as they really look good in their Figma incarnations. However, I was distracted by the sweet temptation of Nendoroid Saber Lily and couldn’t make up my mind. After all the ‘helpful’ advice from the people at the counter, I decided to get the LS figmas and ditch Saber Lily. I figured that she would be easy to borrow (*hints hints*).

As it turned out, giving up the Nendoroid was a blessing in disguise. Because I wouldn’t have been able to afford the entire Lucky Star Nendoroid Puchi otherwise. Getting the LS Puchis was a stroke of luck. The production and distribution for the LS Puchis was quite a while back and it is near impossible to get a complete set unless someone puts them up for sale online, probably with an exorbitant price tag.

It just so happened that I was at the right place at the right time and I managed to grab the set from Ani-Play (a local shop in Sunshine Plaza, just a few steps from KKnM). Apparently someone had ordered the Puchis but never came to pick it up, so it was put back on the shelves for sale. =D Now I have all 10 designs + 1 Special character + one extra Konata in her swimsuit gear.

And here’s the whole loot~! 3 Figmas + 12 Nendoroid Puchi

Reisen-chan wonders if her time infront of camera has been threatened by the arrival of the n00bz.

While poor Yuki is just shocked at being surrounded by all the boxes. =D

Little Nendochi Konata has become my personal cheerleader. Looking at her just makes me happy.

It will probably another 2 weeks before I start breathing again.

The tiny Usami-chan is actually a Reisen Udongein Inaba limited edition mini figure by Ichijinsha ! Thanks to Martin (via FB) from Animatic Figmation for pointing her identity out. =)

Little Reisen-chan got to ride the MRT today!

And she tries to get comfy in this spot.

There was a long ride ahead of her. ^^

(Dailybits) Touhou Bunnie~!

October 4, 2009 dcal 10 comments

I saw this up for grabs at local anime shop KKnM and went down to check it out as I was super interesting in the cute bunnie girl figurine.
Photobucket

I’ve been buying most of my stuff from KKnM, from Nendos to handphone accessories etc. Usamimi Yuki also came from KKnM. ^^ Anyway, before actually making the purchase, I was warning by the friendly shop owners of how small the actual figurine is. IT WAS SUPER TINY!! But I decided to get it anyway because I have a weakness for Usamimi-s. =DDD I still have no idea what the series is about and who the character is… but I don’t particularly care because she looks uber adorable. =) So I shall call her Usami-chan for now. .. till google churns out some information on the character’s name.

Photobucket

Usami-chan is so tiny that she looks like she is swimming in a pool of green frappe. And yes, I’m back at Teadot. Sadly, the place is pretty packed today and not exactly the best conditions for getting work done. I was feeling adventurous and ordered the “Watzup” which was described to be matcha + a hint of wasabi. *regrets* The drink tasted like wasabi crackers diluted with ice. Need a hot cup of “Angel’s breath” to wash away the taste. Next time, I’m going to stick to my beloved “Simply Matcha”.

Photobucket

I also tried out the chocolate banana cake. Lovely concoction. =) The lavender-haired ladies also thought so.

Photobucket

But Usami-chan was quick to stake her claim and Tsukasa got distracted by Yuki’s usamimi.

Photobucket

Also took the time to ‘glamourize’ Sebby-chan. I like his classic matte covering, but he needed some bling. =DDDD Usami-chan approves.
