Went to NATAS Travel Fair this weekend and booked a Nagoya tour for us on 1st April.
We initially wanted Hokkaido/Tokyo but it seems that April is too early to see the flower farms. But we might still go to Tokyo after Nagoya and head home from there.
The wife's now looking at Japanese pearls and exclusive Burberry bags..
And here I thought that if it's a Japan trip, I'd be buying more stuff (toys) ^^;;;

Reach the Kill Screen!
The post's title is reference from Chuck's Season 2 episode, Tom Sawyer.
It's a nice surprise that Atari had launched a free-to-play web-based online multiplayer version of this classic game.
Game embedded after the jump.
Now to find my Rush cd...

Miku Miku Kagami
Scanning through my photobucket now to find some stuff I haven't posted here yet ^^;;;
Ah! Here's something from Lucky Star! It's Kagami cosplaying as Miku Hatsune, as seen in the Lucky Star OVA! She's usually called Miku Miku Kagami. I prefer calling her Kagamiku.
Kagami is my favorite girl from Lucky Star and... I had no idea who Miku Hatsune was when I watched the show, nor when I bought these figures. But if I was going to buy Kagami, it would be her cosplaying as Miku. It prevents me from wanting to buy the other figures in the series. I've enough figures lying around as it is T_T
Besides, Miku Hatsune's outfit is cool...

Bandai 1/60 VF-25S Messiah DX
The last Macross toy I bought was the 1/55 VF-1S Super Valkyrie by Bandai - years ago.
I've always liked the commander-type Valkyries from Macross and now we have the one from their latest series, Macross Frontier.
This is actually from the set that contains the armor parts. I just haven't had time to take pics of the armored Valkyrie yet.
I've decided to go with the toy version instead of the 1/72 model kits. Although more expensive, I got it at sale price, saving me S$50. Besides, this thing is bigger... and I don't have time to build any more model kits, aside from the Gunpla that I already have ^^;;;

1/8 Yoko Littner by Alter
Just waiting for the paint to dry on my MG's, so I thought I'd feature something else for a while...
I can't remember the last time I bought a scaled PVC figure, so I can only assume that this is the first one. I'll have to ask my brother back in the Philippines if I had any of these before.
Surprisingly, my wife sat down with me to watch the whole Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann series. To add to that, she's a huge Yoko fan. I guess she likes redheads since she also likes Shana.
I bought her a Revoltech figure before, but when I saw a preview of this figure, I know I just had to get it "for her" ;)

Starting work on new Gunplas
On to new gunplas to build for the new year. I started on these 2 kits a while back and they've been taking much of my free time. Guess it's the last time I'll work on 2 kits simultanneously >_<

Here's to a prospeous Year of the Tiger!

DIY Lightbox
Gee... I've been too busy with stuff that I've forgotten that I had a blog :P
Since I usually post stuff re toys or photography, here's something for both. I've always wanted to make a mini-studio to use when I take pics of my toys, but never had the time. Then I saw a mini-light tent in Funan. Unfortunately, the smallest one would cost at least S$150, which I think was too expensive for me. Good thing, then, that a friend of mine showed me this site that gives instructions on how to make one.
I hope this will help me produce better pics for future posts :)

Transformers Movie Primes
After holding back for awhile, I decided to buy the new Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime. I already have 2 versions from the 2007 movie so I was a bit hesitant to get this. But after seeing all the pics and reviews, I decided to go ahead and splurge. Besides, I also had a S$50 voucher lying around that my friend gave me for my birthday, so I got to purchase Prime for around 50% off :)

Photoshoot: Singapore River Festival 2009
Off to the Singapore River Festival we went, last 27th June. Apparently, it's an annual event that's held for a week by the Singapore River (hence it's name) at Clarke Quay. Events are held in the evening, since Clarke Quay is know more as a night-spot. I don't go there often, since I'm not much of a night person, but the wife wanted to do something different and I thought it was a good time to practice some night photography :)
