1/4 Nanoha Takamachi Swimsuit Ver. PVC by Good smile company
I'll be honest, I don't really like the idea of buying reissues so whenever a figure I want completely sells out, usually the only other way to get a copy is to wait for one to show up on the second hand market. It has something to do with my mentality of getting the first one, that being said it really stinks up whenever I found out after searching how and low for something, I later find that the company has made a reissues, it totally invalidates all my previous effort and sort of cheapens the figure I spent so much trying to acquire.....
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry christmas and to all, a Happy new year!! Another year is almost gone and soon we will begin 2012. May your tree be err.....something and your figures all shiny and rare! Meanwhile I'll be here in working on my plan for next year!
Journey to Cyprus (11th ~ 16th December 2011)
The flight to Cyprus was packed as expected. Here is after we landed at Dubai international airport. The only really I hate about is that we need to go through security checking again even though we are just transferring. What followed was another 3 hours wait until our flight to Cyprus.
Return to normality with a twist.
I’m finally back from Cyprus. It was rather uneventful since it was only a week long training. I barely shot off 3 rolls of film and didn’t go anywhere this time.
I’ll upload the photos tonight (the ones I took digitally) which reminds me, I need to look into getting an iPad to compact flash connection to avoid the same problem of forgetting the USB to mini USB cable.
I’ve got heaps of things to work on before the end of the year and the fact I have to take all my annual leave before 2012 since I can’t carry over it means I have even less time it finish all my work as a result.
On the bright side while I was away a certain package arrived from Tokyo and I have a nice long holiday week coming up so I’ll be using the time to catchup on some figure reviews as well as my new project.
Mistakes and lessons while traveling
Dubai international airport.
yeah I’m pretty happy about how well it’s been working so far since this is the first time I’m actually fully using the VPN.
I’ll be traveling to Cyprus.
I’ll be on my way to Cyprus by the time you read this. It’ll only be for a week since it’s for work related training. There are no projects pending until early next year anyway. Hopefully this training will help get some good projects for next year and none of the so-so stuff I worked on so far but with so many projects coming in and so few of us available, I may not have the choice of which project I get to work on since it’s up to the top brass to decide.
As a result, I’ll be missing this year’s Comic Fiesta in KL especially the fact that they’ll have Shimokawa Mikuni and Ceui there but those are the breaks since I need to earn money.
Once again, I’m not too sure about whether or not I’ll have Internet connection in the apartment where I’ll be staying and we can forget about the company Internet since they’ve practically locked out everything except CNN and Reuters. I’ll be bringing my iPad for this trip again but assume that I’ll be out of contact since wireless access is even more limited than wired access except for SMS.
As for photo gear, I’ll be bringing
1. Nikon F6/D700
2. Nikkor 17-35mm
3. Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S
4. Nikkor 105mm f/1.8 AI-S (new toy to play with!)
6. Six rolls of film (2 neopan 400, 2 portra 400 and 2 rolls of Ektar)
I doubt I’ll have any chance of shooting anything interesting considering the short week but heck, it can’t hurt to be at least minimally prepared for something to shoot. After all, weird things have happened before. On the bright side, I’ll be traveling with a senior who is also going for the same training so the trip won’t be so boring.
Looking at the weather forecast, it seems I can expect something akin to winter like weather so I’ll be bringing my winter wear for this trip.
