Information regarding this competition has been posted months before, but since the dateline has been extended, it wouldn’t hurt to add more publicity.

My ARX-7 Is Now An ARX-8

My 2 year old faithful A.I died on me, probably due to some fault with the motherboard or power supply unit. Well, it had served me well, but things always have to move on. As such, the Arbalest will be retired for good, and the Laevatein will assist me as of now.


The plastic panel on the casing’s front’s a fingerprint magnet!

Freedom Formula: Sexy Mechas

After reading 0ne’s introduction to Freedom Formula, I knew that I just had to read it. After all, I fell in love on first sight with the mecha design ever since I spotted the figurines at STCC a couple of months ago. It’s great that Kinokuniya imported it in.

Introducing Manga

A classmate of mine in Japanese class wanted to start off with some manga reading so that he could put his Japanese reading skills to practice, as well as to slightly improve his vocabulary.

Since I attend Japanese lessons twice a week and the main Kinokuniya Branch’s just down the road, I usually make my purchases just before lesson time, so as to save myself an extra trip. Sometimes, the Kinokuniya plastic bag’s just too bulky to be contained within my bag, especially when I buy monthly serialisations. Therefore, I carry them by hand, and it’s no surprise that the whole class knows that I read manga. But I always tell them it’s for practice purposes.

Anyway, since he was quite eager to start on Japanese manga, I figured that I might as well give him a hand when he asked if I could head over to Kinokuniya together with him. Who knows, he may turn out to be someone who loves manga.

Extra Space Is Not Always Better

There was some sale that was on at IKEA a couple of months ago, and I purchased a second bookshelf then. I clearly knew that I had more than enough shelf space, be it for figurines, CDs or reading materials. Yet, I was some way or another, convinced that it would be better to get an extra just in case all my storage space runs out.

And so, all the stuff which could be packed nicely into 1 bookshelf is now split into two. This is what it results in.

RADIO EVA: Overpriced Wear for Ninja Evangelion Fans

I’ve always thought that the Evangelion X BEAMS line of clothing was overpriced, despite their innovative designs. Then came along RADIO EVA, boring designs and overpriced cloth.


Why, this looks like any dull Polo Tee.

Guess how much it’s going to cost. It will blow your mind away.

Less Colour, More Black and White

It’s the dreaded time of the school semester once again. Exams.

As usual, I’ve increased my intake of media, now that every single one of my assignments have all been handed in. This time however, I’ve not been watching much animated media, save for a couple of Gintama episodes and the weekly dosage. Instead, I’ve drastically increased my reading intake, be in on the screen or in the books. This should explain the slight surge in manga posts.
