December

Thinking of placing an order with Yesasia, comprising Suzuka CH V13 and Crescent Love OP. I'm waiting for ARIA CH V9 which was speculated to be released in November. Nevertheless, I'll place an order before 18th Jan because I have a coupon expiring by then.

For JP release, Suzuka 14 and Pastel 15 will be released tomorrow.

P/S: Yesasia is having Christmas sale/Annual Clearance.

Lacus Clyne Figure

Love the Megahouse Lacus Clyne figure that I ordered. Ollin got hold of all three of the series, Cagalli, Lacus and Flay.

The figure can be detached so that the skirt can be removed. I was a bit scared when I had to detach it since there's piece of plastic covering the skirt which I want to remove. Haro is a concern since it would roll if it wasnt placed accordingly. Love the detail and the colours of the figure. Glad I ordered Lacus. Now two of my favourite female characters are collected, Belldandy and Lacus.

P/S: I had ARIA Alicia Florence on pre-order which should be released on 31st December. With SAL shipping, it should arrive near end of January. I wish the Alicia figure was 1/8 instead of 1/6 cause Belldandy and Lacus are 1/8 figures.

New Zealand Break

I'm leaving for New Zealand this Monday, 4th December, 7pm for a small conference and also a small holiday. I'll be back on the evening of 13th December. The accomodations that I have booked all have internet access, so it shouldn't possess any problem for updates, in particular Suzuka summary. Though not sure if I can download or have time to update, however I would try as necessary as possible. The only thing confirm is I can't post the picture of Megahouse Lacus Cylne figure which will arrive the next few days (EMS shipped).

Itinery:
4th Dec. Perth -> Auckland
5th-8th Dec. @ Auckland
9th-10th Dec. @ Queenstown
11th-12th Dec. @ Dunedin
13th Dec. Auckland -> Perth

Suzuka 131 Children

凉风 #131 子供 こども

Early morning, Yamato left his room, preparing to go for morning practice. Saotome called him from behind wall, asking him to go to her room as she wanted to show him something. Saotome was wearing her undergarments. Yamato was shocked, turned away and told her that he cant help her with things like that. Satome told her that she only wanted Yamato's opinion on her undergarments. Yamato asked her why and Satome replied just in case since she was going to se Sasaoka. (I think it was her lucky undergarments though wasnt stated explicitly). She continued that she had decided to confess to Sasaoka again. Yamato then asked what it had to do with the undergarments. She replied that they were both adult and if it turned out well, it wouldnt be strange if something happen between them. Yamato doubt her word but she reaffirmed it. She said that it has to be today.

Later, after track practice, Sasaoka approached Yamato and complimented that Yamato had work hard. He asked why Sasaoka was there since he should have appointment with Saotome. He answered that he had met her. Sasaoka told Yamato that he's there to greet Yamato and Suzuka. Suzuka went back to her home. Sasaoka then asked Yamato to convey Suzuka that he's leaving for America that night. That's why he's there to greet Yamato and Suzuka. Yamato asked if it would be a long trip. Sasaoka replied that it could be 5 to 6 years. Yamato then burst out, "How about Saotome?". Sasaoka replied there's nothing to it. Yamato got agitated and told Sasaoka that Saotome liked him. Sasaoka told Yamato not to be bothered. He added that their relationships were like siblings and she had long considered her as her brother. Sasaoka further remarked that Saotome joked that she would abadon university and follow him to America. He commented that she's still like a child even she's 22 years old. Yamato asked if that's a confession. Sasaoka replied that he didnt know how many time was that. He further commented that he always ask her not to kid anymore and she always replied fine. Sasaoka then asked Yamato not to worry and he had to leave.

At night Saotome knocked on Yamato door. She was drunk and asked Yamato to accompany her in drinking, celebrating her 15th rejection. Saotome was comforting herself. Yamato asked her if it was ok for her not to convery her true feelings. She looked at Yamato and asked him what she should do. She said that he always told her not to kid and she had told him not to call her Yuuka-chan. She continued saying he always treat her like a child. She grasped on Yamato shoulder and said, "Dont be overboard", with tears dripping down her cheeks. Yamato reminisced the moment when Saotome encouraged and advised him on the rooftop. He then grabbed her hand and asked her to leave. Saotome asked where to. Yamato replied, "To the the airport of courwse".

P/S: No chapter the next 2 weeks. Hope Saotome gets her love that she wanted so much, though I dont think Sasaoka would stay nor Saotome leave with him.

ARIA Desktop Calendar

Shipped: 13/11/2006

Received my ARIA desktop calendar this morning. I actually dreamt about it last night and had feelings that I would receive it today and it did, crazy. Adun, if you're reading this, dont laugh, I just got mine (Perth lost by 1 week!!!). :P

The 12.5*18cm booklet size calendar is a worthy collection for ARIA fans. It features ARIA characters in chibi and SD forms. The calendar is rare now, discontinued/out-of-stock at both AJ and HLJ. The only other person I know who have it is Adun from Moemoerabu. There are much more new artworks compared to the wall calendar, though wall calendar does feature more elegant and colourful illustrations.

Similar to July, but this is the artwork for whole year calendar
January, official page has samples of it in different colours
February. My favourite. Alicia Florence!!! Ara..ara..
March. Alicia with SD Akari
April. Akira with SD Aika
May. Atena with SD Alice
July. SD Characters in gondola
August. ARIA SD characters
September. Aika and Alice in chibi form. Kawaii!!
October. Wish this wasn't part of the calendar
November. Wish this also wasn't part of the calendar

The artworks for June and December are the cover and back cover.Also submitted high quality ones to animepaper.net.

P/S: HLJ has shipped my Megahouse Lacus Cylne figure. Confirmed that it's EMS shipped. The EMS shipping cost me 2220 Yen (SAL only 1080 Yen), total of 62220 Yen. Ouch! !!
