Long Intro Short Series



For those who read Hatsukoi Limited by Mizuki Kawashita, yes, chapter 32 is the finale!

It takes about 10 chapters to get things started and then you mess the series with a bomberman during the Valentine's Day. Then the guys went on a trip and confess and then next chapter is Ending?

So 32 chapter and 3 volume.... that's all after the comeback from Ichigo 100%????

So all those love chains and dozens of characters ... and last only 32 chapters????
(Why bother introducing new character every 2-3 weeks???)

Thankfully I wasn't anticipating or expecting anything great from this series.... else I'll end up with frustration.

Reminiscent Songs (Non Anime)

Not anime-related, only that I recently purchased 2 compilations from Yesasia. One's a compilation/collection of chinese love songs I used to listen when I was a decade younger.

Released last year, Forever Love~finest collection of timeless love songs collection features 2 CDs with 32 tracks in total.

Also released last year was a compilation of Jacky Wu's song, The essential. He has recorded several unforgetable song and yes, the songs fit my era, which is a decade ago.

So, gonna listen to them in car tomorrow on the way to work. Can't wait for it!!!!!!

ARIA The Origination PS2


Wow another instalment of ARIA PS2 DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 蒼い惑星のエルシエロ

Literally translated as The Blue Planet Erushiero, the DVD is scheduled for June 26th release with Limited Edition priced at 13,440円 and 7,140円 for Standard Edition. I hope there's a gamebook again this time...

Visit the Official Website!!!!!

Rush Hours


Yes, it has been rush hours everyday since I first start working but this is not a post to grumble on my working life.

I recently got hold of Rush Hour Boxset, which I have been anticipating since Rush Hour 2. I waited until the third installment before purchasing the DVDs. I have been a fan of Jackie Chan since small because of his fighting choreography, flexibility and imaginative skills and of course his Asian humour.

I was disappointed with Rush Hour 3 because there's no extra in that DVD. Did I bought it too early or what??? Both Rush Hour 1 & 2 have extras such as deleted scenes and other bonuses.

Anyway, I'd love to see more sequel to the series as it has always been enjoyable to watch. But the gick sorta repeating nowadays and always one's getting older and the other's getting fatter.

ARIA Origination Perfect Guide



Placed my order at HLJ and Hobby Search. How about U???

Final Fantasy Trading Arts Mini 2


Hurray, got my FFmini2 and Gundam fine markers today.

The collection comprises 9 mini figures of 5 characters; Squall, Auron, Tifa, Ashe and Basch. I got doubles except for Basch which is good and I gave them to my brother, lucky him. I would have to say Auron is my favourite in this collection given the sunglasses and his attire up to his neck.


Squall Leonhart, not bad but I would expect better gunblade quality and also more metalic to his accessories. .


Auron, my favourite in this series. The hand is detachable. It dropped and I thought it was broken but It wasn't. Phew! The brilliant red colour sure make it more outstanding.


How I wish the FFVII characters are in their FFVII Advent Children fashion. Tifa looks so much better in her AC attire. .


Ashe looks very nice in certain angle but in another angle her lip's a bit weird in a way.


Basch, my least favourite character in FFXII and also in this collection. Face just doesnt seem quite right????

Pleased with this series and looking forward to more FF Trading Arts Mini in near future.

For Final Fantasy Mini Collection 1, Visit here.


By the way, the Gundam fine markers arrived at the same time, time to crack open my Extreme Blast Gundam Destiny and get it rolling!!!!!!!!!! (My brother nags at me constantly for not starting the assembly!)
