this is ah poon. i named it after our neighbour. Its been floating on its belly for over a week. Ana wants to keep small fish so shes waiting for it to die, but its not dying...just yet. gd' ol fella.



I got a bottle of straight tea with sugar from animate!
why? because 1) i like the bottle 2) i wanted to try ordering something edible online 3) it was one of the only things that looked affordable, nice and actually in-stock online.

However!
Due to some idiots terror attack in US, my tea has been deemed a potentially dangerous liquid, hence when i actually opened the package, all i got was that empty bottle. Well, at least they gave me back the bottle.

Well, in their exact words when I asked why I only got an empty bottle...

"Hello,

Yes, it's the customs/security requirement. They tigthened the
security after Xmas terror attempt in USA and the liquid item can't
be sent now. Thank you for your understanding.

Keigo Morita"



They were "KIND" enough to leave me one drop for tasting(see not even half a sip). It actually tastes not too bad actually. It's like lipton tea with the right amount of sugar. Still, i do wish they at least left me a note, or gave me an email notice before sending it over, so that I wouldn't have had such a confusing shock when i open my package. Maybe Keigo-san got to drink it-_- on my behalf. Damn you. Is tea inflammable?



As i was saying i wanted something edible from japan. Biscuits that werent shiroi koibito or something. So for the heck of it I got this box of Sayonara Zetsubou sensei biscuits. There are 6 round biscuits with that penguin's face on it together with the word "DESPAIR". lol. It tastes like a normal biscuit. hahha. I wanted to try to get noodles or ramen or curry, but they didn't have stock online when i ordered :(, i guess i will have to wait for my next japan trip.

Also, my mom or maid threw away my sakura tea before i could even try it the last time, so i bought a new pack XD. Luckily, packet tea is not dangerous. They didn't need to open it to check if i was hiding drugs disguised as tea in it. 絶望した！税関に絶望した！！！！！



Got a pocket watch online too. Don't know what i was thinking when i did that. hahahahah
I wanted one that'd remind me of those lovely mechanics in last exile, but well those are way way way over budget anyway, so i got something a bit more affordable. Around 3000yen? I couldn't bare to spend more cos anything through celga will cost a bomb. You can open it to show a white clock face, and you can see the clockworks at the back :) Now what i want is a swiss army knife XD

the idiot bird further destroys my table. Jesmine came down for a surprise visit today with her dog (a mini pincher?) today. I now know for sure that hansi cannot accept a dog in the house, especially hyperactive ones like Jes's pinpin. Cute dog though. We all had prata while watching American Idol. We only watch it for Simon and failed auditions.



Star Ocean 4 playarts came in the mail today. I totally forgot I even ordered it so when i came home to find a parcel on my table i was kinda confused. While i ponder over of its authenticity since it came from a cdjapan.com sale and was going at a cheap price, i guess it doesn't really matter since i pretty much got it at less than 1/2 price. I kinda want to play the game, but its for xbox, so no luck in that department. The Gackt DVD i ordered got delayed so that wont be until March, so i guess the next to arrive in my mail would be cookies from animatejapan (dont ask! hahaha) and durarara's light novel vol 2 (waiting for kino to get me vol 1).

....are boring.

anyway, recently went down to JB and had a pretty good time rummaging the cd shops there. also isos are so damn cheap there. The food was cheap and good too.

anyway, i'm now debating on the idea of taking the BHS stage 1 test with erika in HK. It'll require me to be out of SG for about 2 weeks, and i'm not even sure if i can pass it. Plus, without a credit card, things are rather troublesome. >_____<

watched 2010 and district 9. District 9 was....disturbing, since i'm not so much into alien movies, but it was pretty well made. Quite different from your usual movies. No glorious heroes that save mankind and live happily ever after with their ladies. As for 2010, well, kinda made me dream that i was actually attempting to escape from it with my maid and parrot the night after i watched it..... the movie was, kinda cool and impossible at the same time. Humans don't drive and fly planes like that in natural disasters. you must have devil's luck.

Also, paypal is EVIL. It makes you hooked onto online shopping. MUST STOP!

My maid was chatting up with my old neighbour and some random guy just went through our gate without saying anything.

Then i realised he was carrying a huge box.

Then i realised that's my package from japan. He's just the damn mailman.

But hell yeah! My rubbish came. I'm not even gonna borther trying to remember how much i spent on all that crap that came. Probably over US$600 considering commission and handling fees. Don't wanna think about it. Once in a while...is fine...right? right?



In the end, this box went to my parrot for dismantling.

( KIMASHITA! )

I really don't know if i should be happy or annoyed that a classmate in my japanese class said i sounded like a japanese high school student. The plus point would mean that my pronunciation's getting a little better, but the low point would mean i sound like a brat? O_o. I've demoted myself from Further Advance 4 to further advance 2, since my old class got cancelled due to lack of students. So now its a totally new class, with even an american rocker amongst them. Hopefully i can break the ice there.

小さい仕事が入ってきた。でも　超ーーーやる気ね～！どうしよう．．．



正直　笑います。(泣）

(sings) On the first day of christmas my Aunties(and uncle) gave to me....



[..........] table flowers. In the end, i decided i should dedicate it to my mom. :)
It looks nice but...hmmmm....i never regarded flowers as a christmas gift. I guess its the thought that counts, but i wonder what they were really thinking?

「ふざけるな！花なんていらないよ！」と思ったことはあります。



ジグソーパズルもようやく完成しました！
Finished the 1500 piece jigsaw a couple of days back as well.



something that came in today's mail :D.
今日の郵便に入っていた薄桜鬼A3ポスター。ANIMAXISって便利だな～

 

Kinky deshou?
Despite missing the preorder Latendo helped me keep an extra one. (officially ditching ani-play for now)
Didn't really watch Guren Lagann, and there're probably 100 variations of Yoko figurines in the market, but i really wanted to get this one (real image version by Max Factory). This version of her looks so much nicer than the actual anime version. It's quite big, taller than the usual Megahouse figurines i buy. Need more ladies on my shelf cos after all, the boys tend to look like girls (no kidding, my mom often mistook em for girls hahaha. Ironically, its often the gundam ones that were mistaken for girls XD)
