| 2:41am | Day 8 in Japan: Nothing Much Happened. Free Food. | | | | My webhost was down for a while so I didn’t post it yesterday, but rather on Day 9’s morning. Just a heads up, today (day 9) I’ll be going to Akihabara, with Brandon, a friend from NUS now working in Japan and coincidentally, living really near my dorm, and Ryo, the oft-mentioned Japanese... |
| 4:44pm | [Ascaloth] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2009), Episode 18: Endless Eight | | | | The Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody of three weeks ago was but a teaser to whet appetites, but this week the God Empress Herself makes an emphatic return. And how! It has been three years since the first season burst out from obscurity to capture the imagination of an entire generation of otaku, and things have... | | |
| 4:38pm | [Tenshi_MKII] Fate/stay night Movie | | | | Holy crap, the movie is coming out soon! Is this picture hinting us that they are gonna do UBW(Unlimited Blade Works) only? I seriously hope they will do 3 movies which will cover all the routes, especially Heaven’s Feel. Moe Sakura is moe. PS: I raging over Kara no Kyoukai 6. They didn’t... | | |
| 3:59pm | Day 7 in Japan: Windows made me Late for Class, Cute Loli etc | | | | I woke up today at 9.30 am. My classes start at 9 am. I blame Windows for this because I use my laptop set at full volume as an alarm clock, and it normally works well but sometimes they like to do Windows updates by themselves, and then proceed to reboot. This was what happened and my alarm got turned... | | |
| 4:50am | [LianYL-MIA] Viral Marketing Experiment For RIUVA | | | | This is basically an experiment of mine which seeks co-operation from all bloggers (anime or not) reading this blog to see how well misleading viral marketing campaigns work. If you like this site and think that the picture below is awesome: Feel free to use the picture on your blogs and link to the... |
| 1:53pm | Day 6 in Japan: Kabukichou is Overrated | | | | I’m starting to really feel the fatigue from the insane amounts of walking done over the past few days, and it doesn’t help when one of the 2 lectures is a 3 hour long bore fest. We had yet another 2 lectures. The first was by a U of Washington prof who specialised in Political Science/International... |
| 3:46pm | Day 5 in Japan: Shibuya is Awesome Heaven on Earth. | | | | Shibuya is a nice place. The key to enjoying Japan is actually to get one of those powerful accessories to equip - one that increases your power levels. How do we get such a thing? Simple, just bring your own white boy! See, the Japanese are really in love with/in awe of caucasians, especially the... | | |
| 3:41pm | Day 4 in Japan: American Power | | | | Today lectures started for real, so we didn’t go anywhere for sightseeing. I didn’t get annoyed too, but there were a few interesting incidents I ought to share. I must say, I’m really really direct these days in person, so sometimes I say things which I later regret. An incident to... |
| 3:38pm | Day 2 in Japan: Frolicking in Shinjuku with Abilities Gained from Anime | | | | Today I met most of the other members of the seminar. There’ re still about 6-7 more missing, since they aren’t due to arrive until tomorrow. Basically, there are 3 tall white guys who almost look identical but are not genetically related. I was like "Why do white guys all look the... | | |
| 2:30pm | [Tenshi_MKII] Valkyries: Tenjin Hidetaka Art Works of Macross | | | | I’m very surprised that they decided to reprint this amazing art book (This art book is first published around 2005). Sharp fans will notice that most of the art works in the book are box arts for Macross Model Kits produced by Hasegawa(Unfortunately, they can’t transform >:). If you... | | |
| 1:59pm | Day 1 in Japan: Not According to Plan | | | | I had a pretty good idea of what to write for day 1. That is, until the past 4-5 hours, when strange happenings occurred. The day started off with day 0, which was the previous night at Changi Airport. A few of the otaku gang came to see me off, for some reason. I knew I was popular. Anyway, I was... | | |
| 10:13am | Tomorrow I Leave for Japan. Here are some issues to think about. | | | | I hope to update the site as often as possible, possibly like a travel log. I’m not sure how fun it’ll be, since it’s a school trip, but it’s surely going to be educational. A brief summary of what my trip involves: Eight Asian and American universities—Columbia, Harvard,... |
| 9:03am | [Tenshi_MKII] CANAAN Figures and Nendoroids!!! | | | | News hijacked from Mikatan’s blog. They are going to display this awesome CANAAN figure, together with Alphard and CANAAN Nendoroids at Wonder Festival. (All images stolen shamelessly from mikatan’s blog) This is cool even though it’s not coloured. Omg, such cuteness | | |
