After attending to my private instructor driving lesson (damn I still stall the engine over right-hand turn manoeuvres and clutch control!) in the evening, I went down to Sunshine Plaza to collect my DVDs and grab some more manga. (After the Odex fiasco, I have absolutely avoided any of their products, because I spite them for their actions.) It seemed to me that I have relied more on Ani-Play for my R1 DVDs (thanks, Stripey, for the info of the next best avenue for legitimate R2 & R3 DVDs!).

Since Friday was also the day that I was to meet my contemporaries (for the uninitiated: “friends”), I wanted to wear something different. And since the fellow over at HWZ-EDMW has finished making the T-shirts, I went over to his place personally to get the T-shirt.

So, here it is, my T-shirt.

The T-shirt costs around S$8.50, and anyway, I bought it, because it’d be nice to show my stand in the saga.

Before meeting up, I went down to Ani-Play to collect my loots. Apparently the whole thing costs me a whopping S$427.50! I don’t mind, though: at least I don’t go splurging on more figurines. (Unfortunately, my dear otaku friends, my preferences stops at figurines.)

After chatting with the owner for some time, I went down to TCC to get some refreshments, and meet up. It was nice to see the same people again. We chatted basically LuckyStar material (a.k.a. random topic), and then we get down to the saga. Oh, there’s lots of discussion made, unfortunately, I don’t really contribute much to the debate.

So, after going back home, this is my loot.

Finally, Ai Yori Aoshi gets the final volume down, Kami Kaze is on its penultimate volume, and Judas is still kicking ass. The other two manga were reserved for my friend.

On hindsight, it was not good to impulse-splurge on Ikkitousen, but since I am a sucker now for fanservice, (and Geneon’s products are becoming more vintage items) I might as well get it.

Oh, I almost forgot: I need to update you guys on my so-called DVD collection I had.


From left: Noir, Azumanga Daioh, Genshiken, Haibane Renmei, FMP!, FMP? Fumoffu!, Ikkitousen, Blood: The Last Vampire R2 (from my Japan trip last year), Fullmetal Alchemist (I KNOW IT’S ODEX! IT’D BE MY LAST PURCHASE FROM THEM, OK?), and other old games I used to play.

Oh well, that concludes this month’s raid. Looks like I have to scrimp through food allowances if I have to recoup my losses.
