Fun with iPad drawing
Having fun with my iPad as I waiting for something. I know I promised I would upload the BKM photos but I’ve been busy so to make it up here is something I quickly cooked up on my iPad.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.....
AFA 2011 Day 3 (Event + cosplay report)
Let’s go straight to the main points of today, Cosplay, Cosplay and MORE cosplay! Yesterday, I already attended all the events I wanted! So now today is just getting loot from the exhibits as well as focus on the cosplays!! And boy I was not disappointed!
AFA 2011 day 2 (event + cosplay report)
Today’s event was just as awesome except now all the exhibits were open as well as the main stage events! The crowd was even bigger than yesterday’s one. It would still be a while before the doors open so instead we went around checking out the cosplay scene and let me this is one of the best years’ yet
(more…)
AFA 2011 day 2 report will be delayed…..
I’m sorry but I won’t be able to upload the photos until I get back to KL next week because there is just way to many photos to process. My poor iPad can’t take the stress! So instead here I have a photo of the first of many loot! Hahahah managed to finally find it after missing it the last time!
AFA 2011 day 1 (event + cosplay report)
After getting myself settled in and my friend from Penang arrived fashionably late 
, we then made our way to suntec convention center.
Anime Festival Asia 2011
Right,as some of you may already know, tomorrow’s is the start of AFA11. It’s the second final event of the year for me! I’ll be flying off tomorrow and will be back next week and hopefully will have lots of stuff to blog about!
The good thing about this year’s event is that there are twice the number of events and artists there this year, the bad thing for me though is that JAM project is not there this year but that still won’t stop me from having fun!!!!
And let’s not forget about the cosplay and movies showing there! It’ll be the biggest anime event in this region!!
Though there is one silver lining, for the first time in southeast Asia, Miku 3D live will be there!!
So for those who are also going there! I’ll see you there!! I’ll have the report up as soon as I can!
Magical girl lyrical Nanoha: Takamachi Nanoha school uniform by Alter
When I first saw this go up for preorder at play-Asia, I knew instantly I had to have her in my collection! No, I’m not a lolikon! Though this is rather different from the usual figures I have collected as it’s modest figure but that is what makes me want it even more!
Medicom toy RAH Ayanami Rei (Evangelion 2.0) 1/6 scale.
For the pass few weeks, its been raining sometimes for the whole day which is why I haven’t done any outdoor photography for a long time now.
Though that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything at all. Instead I’m taking it as an opportunity to brush up and clear out the backlog of figure shoots that’s been slowly increasing. So I figured let’s try something different and shoot a posable figure this time.
Neon Genesis Evangelion 1/6 Scale Pre-Painted PVC Action Figure: Asuka Langley (Plug Suit Version)
This will be the last figure review of 2010 and what better way to end the year with then with the final Asuka figure I have that has yet to be reviewed. Truth be told I still have a lot of figures I want to do photo reviews for, but I just haven’t been able to motivate myself into getting around to them.
Comic Fiesta 2010 (Cosplay report)
While Danny Choo was nowhere to be seen (except for his doppleganger Wisemen) we do have Mirai here.
Sadly, this will just be a cosplay report of this year’s Comic Fiesta 2010 at Berjaya Time Square (ballroom at the 14th floor) since I didn’t think of bringing a wide angle lens. Instead I just stuck with prime lenses.
A mistake I sorely regret since the event was surprisingly much better than I had anticipated when compared to other anime conventions I had been to around West Malaysia (hint, not low-keyed)
Alter Kos-Mos swimsuit version 1/6
I know this is long overdue but I had some time recently so I decided to finally do a short photoshoot for this figure. I also decided to try something new by using skylight bulbs for this shoot along with my flash. In retrospect I should have gone with the old light tent I usually use. But heck it was a good learning experience.
Creators Labo #026 Neon Genesis Evangelion Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Soryu Asuka Langley
Here's another figure review, this one came during the weekend I was in Singapore for AFA X (so I guess that technically makes it 2 Asuka on the same weekend). I'm starting to see a very dangerous obsession with Asuka.
Asuka Sohryu Langley Maid version by Kotobukiya 1/7
Today I'll be reviewing one of my purchases from AFA X. I had been looking for this Asuka for a while now when I came by it during AFA X. This is the original red maid outfit version which I feel was a lot better than the yellow outfit that was later released as a special limited edition. As it keeps in line with the Asuka's fiery temper. The yellow one felt like it lacked the associate of the outfit with the personality of the wearer.
AFA X 2010 Singapore Day 3 (cosplay report!)
And here we have the final installment for AFA X cosplay report! So enjoy the photos~~~!!
If you just want to read about the day event then go here though please forgive the short report as I didn’t attend most fo the events that day and instead focused more on the cosplay.
AFA X 2010 Singapore Day 3
Date: 14th November 2010
Here we are again with the report for day 3, I should have taken a Monday off that way I wouldn’t be in such a rush.
Anyway, we were only planning to attend the Regional Cosplay Championship for a short while then continue our way checking more cosplayers. So we paid a nice visit to Kinokuniya at Takashimaya.
Though due to my fault, I thought they would be opening at 9:30am, we arrived 9am. So we kinda wasted our time instead just checking out the surrounding location.
But anyway let’s skip to the Cosplay championship
AFA X 2010 Singapore Day 2 (Cosplay report!)
Alright! Time for the cosplay report as promised! While the morning was exciting and fun but there was so many cosplayers and really GOOD ones, that I had to do a special article on them!
For those who just want the report about the event, go here
AFA X 2010 Singapore Day 2
Date: 13th November 2010
Saturday…..the second day of AFA X…..if I had to describe how did this day go I guess it could best be summed up in 1 word, it would be “AWESOME!”
After CrossChannel finally arrived last night, we all decided to turn in for the night without delay as both of us were dead tired. Although the next morning I found him diligently working on his notebook @_@…..
I had initially wanted to update about the event at night but the internet at the hotel was total crap, it was nothing like what I had heard about from people who had reviewed about the hotel and it was not cheap either, SGD 5 for 2 hours of Internet connection. It was a total ripoff!
We both quickly made our way to Suntech convention hall thinking we would be early and the crowd wouldn’t be too big, oh how wrong we both were >_<
AFA X 2010 Singapore Day 1
Date: 12th November 2010.
This is me at the airport waiting for take off. I had wanted to take Friday off so I could go to and see AKB girls but because I had only recently started work, I was unable to get a full day off and instead opt for a half day instead.
Though for this trip I wasn’t alone, I would be meeting CrossChannel from Penang down at Singapore later that night.
Flight was rather boring and tiring, I shouldn’t have opted for the 6pm flight. Next year I plan to take Friday and Monday off.
Anime Festival Asia 2010
Yup folks, I’m heading down to Singapore this weekend for AFA X! I’ll be bringing down my macbook along with my camera and hope to see the rest of you anime fans as well! For more information about AFA X you can look it up here at their about page.
Girls with cameras: A pictorial book.
Japanese books, even if you cannot read a single word in them, the ideas they present can still be very interesting.
Like this new book today, which is apparently a book reviewing the latest cameras as of 2010 but instead of using photos of real models holding cameras like other magazine, Japan has decided to use the power of moe or anime to promote the cameras.
Which is rather shameless when you think about it but speaking from a business point of view its rather ingenius. Take one part nerd camera, one part moe, with a dash of basic tutorial and you have a book that could sell considerably well in Japan.
What your choice of DSLR/camera says about you….

Matsuhara Hidenori Illustration Works
Ever bought a book solely on the cover artwork? Sometimes the title sells it but most of the time its due to the artwork. (So why do Danielle steel novels sell so well every time a new title comes out?).
Selling on title and synopsis is always the best idea for written novels but when it comes with artbooks, cover artwork always sells!
Such as this one I picked up at at Kinokuniya KLCC which was going with 20% discount with another item.
Yoshiyuki Sadamoto Collection “Carmine”
Now this one is currently selling at Kinokuniya with a 20% discount with another item of any price. So I just couldn’t resist buying this!
Though whether or not you should buy this is matter of opinion, first of all this is an artbook consisting of most of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto‘s anime artwork whether its was artwork mean for the actual anime or promotional poster. If it was done by him, its probably in here.
