Good morning~ lol. Ah I'm so tired. Fridays are one of my most packed days. Usually I have tuition from noon to 6 (at different places) and then I have night class, but it's holiday week!
But today was still busy. After tuition I had to go down to Queenstown to pay school fees and then went down Orchard (because I love Kino, and I also went to inquire again about spoon2Di Vol 38. Gonna call on Wed to ask them if it's in stock alr and ask them to reserve one. Will blog about it when I get it, because of the 36P K feature! それやばい and also angela will be in the magazine! And the furoku is awesome.).
I also bought the Kurobas Character Bible at Kino. I was actually thinking if I should get the Chinese or Japanese one, because Japanese is easier to read, for me because I learnt simplified Chinese but Taiwan translations are in traditional Chinese so sometimes it's pretty hard. Eh. Actually it doesn't make much of it difference. Aiya my Chinese just sucks. OTL Actually it's pretty good, but not really anything awesome. Anyway, so the Chinese one is cheaper, and I really need to save money because of my cosplans for STGCC. But I ended up buying the Japanese one anyway. And I know that translations of the main points in the CharaBible are available online but I wanted to buy it since I knew it was coming out so yeah. I also got KERA Jul issue today. Spent so much today....
After shopping at Kino, I headed to Somerset for dinner with my church cell group. We had ramen. Mm. I actually went there once with my dad before, and decided not to go back, but my cell wanted to go there so I just thought, okay, fine, but their ramen really not worth it. It's so ex but it's not nice and the toppings are rather stingy. ==" Woah, now that I really think about it, it's actually bloody ex. D: But there was this 1-for-1 ramen promotion so that's why we even went there in the first place. Actually our friend is a shareholder(?) of the restaurant so that's why we went there to show some support, but I'm really sorry man, I'm never going to eat there again. :/ I'm not really much on reviews so I'll just end this here. Aoba Ramen is still my love. I love Hokkaido ramen. OH. I really don't like Ajisen though. The last time I ate it was the first time I did in at least 10 years. And I didn't even eat half of it. haiiz.
Really long never eat Aoba liao. ): Maybe after August, when I can spare some money to splurge on expensive food. I think at least 1 year never eat, almost 2 years le ahh. D: Was damn sad when I found out that they were no longer at Tampines 1 but then I saw them at Vivo and was so happy, like heng ah I can still eat my Aoba ramen lolol.
After ramen, we decided to take the bus to River Valley Road and have frozen yoghurt at swirl art. Not bad. They are way cheaper than sogurt, like omg. When I was done with my yoghurt, I felt it and I seriously got a shock, like I was expecting it to be quite expensive since it's pretty heavy, but it was $5.80. It was at least twice as heavy as my standard sogurt ok, and my standard sogurt costs me $5+ too. And the yoghurt is really nice too. Toppings not as extensive as sogurt, but enough for me. And they also sell other food, so maybe I'll go there again one day!
I have this bad habit of blogging everything in one shot and I apologise. It makes my posts ridiculously long.
So on Monday, I went out and managed to get some shopping done! (Not my money so yeah.) Bought a few clothes from Lowry's Farm that I fell in love with when I saw them. I didn't manage to get all that I wanted, but it's enough, for now. Really happy because I haven't gone shopping for new clothes in 6 months. /hit And this season there are really alot of clothes that I like!! I wanna get some clothes from newlook too~~ I need new shoes though. I wanna buy Converse sneakers as well. Wanna get a new pair of black high-cuts. No photos because I didn't take any. Maybe in future. (I keep saying that don't I, sorry orz)
And also presenting highlight purchases of the week/month(?)
So I ordered a doujinshi from Toranoana (through a proxy) and it arrived this afternoon!! It's by my favourite circle so I'm really excited. I pretty much collect her doujinshi, except her MiSaru (K) ones.... prolly because her first MiSaru was a R18 and at that time I was pretty much icky over NSFW/R18 stuff. Yeeeeeap. (But then I pretty much got immune to it, and then I bought a R18 AkiFushi). I don't ship ren'ai SaruMi though so yeah that's another thing. If it's middle school SaruMi then I'm okay with ren'ai but for 19y/o SaruMi, nope. I just honestly want them to make up and be friends again.
Btw, GoHands is releasing some K goods and they decided to remove Fushimi's glasses for some of the designs. 超萌(Chinese) What's more moe than megane-danshi is megane-danshi with megane OFF. And Fushimi's whole expression just changes srsly.
Anyway, the next highlight is that I bought K SIDE: BLACK & WHITE!! 88888 Yay. Super ex though lol. And it's also the only novel I started reading. I bought RED and BLUE like damn long ago but I still haven't read them lol. And my Kagerou Daze is still halfway... orz
Btw, this ^ is basically all the stuff I bought for last month. New doujinshi from KOC and Toranoana, and recent stuff from Kino. I didn't include the other magazines in though.
Doujinshi I got this time round in KOC were from Taisho Democracy, zai and one more circle whose name I can't quite recall now orz suimasen.
Btw, here is my current doujinshi collection (stack size). It's super small compared to other people because oi proxy commission is expensive. I've seen how much doujinshi Washi can buy in one event and it's like. o_o That's like freaking heavy. Yeaaah. I also wanna go to doujin event la really. One day.
Okay. This is all I'll be blabbing about today! Yay I added photos in today's post hahaha xD
Good night everyone, it's almost 3AM already omg. I need to wake up early tomorrow; going Anime Matsuri at Funan (for KiDChan's workshop! Super excited)

Yosha yosha konbanwassu mina-san!
So anyway, sometime last month (2nd week of March?) I bought some stuff from Japanese online stores through a proxy (: Because as you know, many Japanese online stores don't ship outside Japan. The shops that I purchased from were THREE!, Animate and ToraNoAna.
This is the whole set of items I got:
Not gonna insert photos of the covers of the CDs because they are available on the websites, but sometimes the CDs have special designs on them, or the inside of the CD case, so I'll include photos of those instead~!
But first below, this is the tokuten (特典) for Mi-chan's doujin CD 7-2.5~My Hobby~. It's just a plastic card, like a credit card. There are 7 seven designs, for 7 songs, and the design I got was for the song GLAMOUROUS SKY. (btw Animate sells this CD too, but I just decided to go with THREE instead.)
The CD and the inside~ Look at pretty Nana-chan~~ (but I think Moca is prettier, sorry Mi-chan!)
Next CD is 7-My precious 2 years-. The 2 years is the time that he and Nana-chan have been together~ And there's a small booklet that comes with it and it's super (*´∀`*). みーちゃんいけめん。It's basically a photo booklet of Nana-chan & Mi-chan. The lyrics booklet for 7-2.5 is also full of his photos and it's just. (*ﾉ▽ﾉ)(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノみーちゃん大好きwwww
Third CD I got was Dasoku's first solo album "DASOKU". The illustration for the CD is really cool! And this is the inside of the CD~ I couldn't take a photo of the CD itself straight-on because its surface is mirrored. So yeahhh I had to take it at an angle. The CD design is really beautiful as well!
This also comes with a tokuten but it was sold out before I could get it. (Do you even use sold out, because technically it's a gift but they just have lesser stock than the actual product.) So I didn't get the tokuten. If I remember, it's a calendar or something?
And there's a secret track and it's Scissorhands. Yup.
Last CD is Honeyworks's Utattemita compilation album No. 3 (ハニワ曲歌ってみた3), that they released for FuyuComi (Comiket83) last year! I love Honeyworks, and the utaite/producer list is just (☆▽☆) Yup. Ohhh and I bought the Limited Edition one, because the tokuten for that was a illustration card for Love Confession Rehearsal. The tokuten for the Regular Edition is SUKI KIRAI. But the cover for the ltd ed was a Thai celebrity/entertainer(? - was mentioned by Honeyworks) LOL.
But anyway, the inside of the CD case is really cute!
So that concludes the CD section(?)! Now on to the books~
I actually ordered one more doujinshi from ToraNoAna through another proxy (whose work schedule clashes with the post office's so yeah, not sure when s/he will be able to mail it). But anyway, I bought 3 doujinshi and 2 K artbooks (I don't really know if I can call them artbooks because the second one is more like a collection of concept sketches/character design settings.) By the way, speaking of character designs, I heard (on pixiv, lol) that the initial designs for Misaki and Fushimi for their hair was that Misaki had his fringe held up by a hair band[alice band, headband, however you call it...] (like Ritsu from K-On) and Fushimi had the side of his hair braided [um yeah, like I don't even? lol. why would a guy bother braiding his hair for school everyday....] BUT anyway. Yeah. I like those designs actually. LOLOL. Let me find a link for the fanart where I found out about this... (butbut lemme just say I really don't know whether it's really their initial designs lol, I think tumblr would have told me /hit) 絵リンクこちらです: ♥
Anyway!!
Aside from the doujinshi, I got K Original Artwork Collection (?? I'm sorry man, I'm just interpreting based on the Kanji. My Chinese background makes me lazy /hit) Vol 2! Which was only sold on Animate on a pre-order basis and I was like wow screw you now I can't get it through Kinokuniya (OH by the way I found out that Kinokuniya stocks spoon2Di so Imma get vol 33 from them because I realised it's cheaper. Even though by a bit. AND I WANT PRINCE ANIMAGE SPRING 2013 OMG THE COVER IS SO PRECIOUS AND APPARENTLY THERE'S A POSTER OF THAT COVER ILLUSTRATION INCLUDED. [i sound like a sarumi shipper even though i don't ship sarumi that way why lol.] Well, I'm just gonna go down Kinokuniya and check if their spoon2Di stocks are in~ maybe I'll go down this Sunday, and get Popteen and KERA at the same time. (Okarie is graduating from Popteen you knowwww. May's Popteen will be the last issue that she's in)
Erm yeah so I digressed.
So I got the K artbooks from Animate because nowhere else sells it. Yup. I haven't gone through the artbook yet soooo. Yeah.
はいここで終わります。
My items from CDJapan actually arrived today but no one was at home to receive the package so tomorrow morning I'll have to go down Serangoon post office to get the stuff before school. Haiiz.
Goodnight people~
