The Man Who Can't Be Moved..



Recently got this song from a friend..
good stuff.., relatiative to some.. emo to most..

Can't post the offical video.. so.. you'll have to make do with this..





This is the URL for the offical video..

Here's a drum cover of the song.. this guy ain't that bad.. covered quite well :P



Cause' if one day you wake up
and find that your missing me
and your heart starts to wonder
where on this earth I could be....






on another note.. i went shopping recently.. but instead of getting my shirt.. i actually bought things i don't need.. but rather want..

Mangas!!


i'm gonna start another expensive hobby.. or rather.. not start....but to continue a hobby i have discontiuned since my teenage years.. hohoho..

oh.. the days where you scrimp and save every single cent to fullfil your expensive weird hobbies.. comics,mangas,legos,figurines..

Doh.. i wish i had saved more..:P

got myself four new series to start collecting.



Cowboy Bebop
(Action)

Chobits
(Sci-fi romance, weeee)

Monster
(Suspense,thriller!)

and

Black Lagoon
(more action!!)


bad thing about mangas.. is that you'll always tend to finish one whole volume in less than an hour of reading.. i completed all four of it.. within 2 days.. now i'm stuck.. as i only bought the first volume for all titles..

hopefully.. i can get more within this few weeks!!

WHERES MY PAY!?!?!?!!






On another note, i bought myself another figurine..No Skimpy Clothing this time.. just a small cute little saber in armor!! she comes with a sword, 1 interchangable face and two changable arms for more posing choices, removable armor skirt(hoho..no perv thoughts!).. although not many, it's alittle better than.. a non-movable PVC figurine.. then again, it depends.. :P

here are some shots..

Front Side


Back Side


Side (Cute Looking Saber :P)



Size comparsion between Little Saber and Bikini Saber..



"Sad" looking Saber


"Neutral Face" Saber without her skirt armor :D



Emo? Saber


unfortunately, not all of the joints for this figurine can be adjusted, only the head, waist and the wrist, but nevertheless, it makes a nice table figurine, due to it's cuteness and being small, it can be place almost everywhere on the desk..

i'm shoving mine back into the box.. as it's too precious to place it outside..
dusty room i'm afraid..

I'll just have to make do with Bikini Saber..

Can't wait to get new figurines..
damn this obsessive obsession!

i still want my G9 though..
gotta save more!!.. argh!!..
and i even thought of applying for a debit card!!

sigh..

really need to rob a bank..

It's never enough..



Work at times can be alittle dull.. but when work arises, all hell break loose.. whether that's bad.. or good.. i'm not really sure :P

you tend to think too much during your free time..
and nap during lunch break.. good stuff that one..

here are a few tips to overcome boredom.

  • Listen to songs (over and over)


  • the newspaper :D


  • Youtubing


  • Dozing Off...


  • Videos, Videos and more Videos


  • and if all else fails.. blog.. :P


  • or... alternatively, do what i do.. and create funny questions..like..



    What do you get, if you have 3, 5, 5, 0's??


    well.. what do you get??

    thats when you're bored to the max...phototaking is good too.. :P unfortunately.. i only took one.. and it's my representation of the chorus of a nice.. soothing.. emo song..





    missing one or two lines of the lyrics.. but, if you know the song, see whether you can decipher the lyrics out :P... cheers from work!!

    Nihon! Jinx!

    Been awhile since i post anything.. haha , I blame work! :P

    Working as a desktop engineer really takes the tow outta you sometimes(*more details next post!!)

    as the title mentions, this few weeks of absence has been due to(aside from work), a sudden increase activity in Japanese Animations and sorts..(and work :D) Been watching quite a few animes over the weeks.. you can say it's kind of like a stress reliever....

    i'm actually not really an anime guy,rather selective.. but unfortunately due to a friend's introduction and the fact that my lust for fiction runs deep in my blood..he open up a new world to me..hah..i've turned, though still alittle selective... for the worse, or better.. i don't know...

    here's a list of animes i watched so far.. and my comments on it ^.^
    (*this ^^ face is so not me...ughh..)



    Black Cat!



    Initially, i didn't really like this anime as i didn't really like the artwork, but as i watch on, i realize it was an action anime.. with humor, comedy and what sorts of nonsense in it, so from then on, i've got hooked onto it.. The Artwork grows on you as you watch it, the story unfolds and the humor gets.. even more hilarious :P, ain't that bad if you need a perk me up anime :P

    Fate/Stay Night






    Ha, judging from the amount of images, you can tell that i like this anime much, Adapted from a game..It comes with a deep storyline,multiple characters, intense plot, fanastic artwork, untold romance, and seriously, who can resist a heroine wielding a massive sword :P
    Sadly, i never did have the chance to play the game.. it's in japanese.. and the english dubbed version is a pain in the a$$ to get hold.. ha..one of my favourite characters comes from this series!!! :P

    Jigoku Shoujo : Futakomori




    Ever feel like you want to get rid of the person you hate the most?? Now you can, with Jigoku Shoujo! Just access her website at 12am! Input your enemy's name and volia.. You'll be granted a straw doll with a red string tie around it's straw neck. One pull, and all your troubles are gone, but be wary.. While your hated one is being taken away.. your soul will enter a contract with Hell Girl, and you will enter Hell after your lifetime is up.. but hey.. thats till you die..and sides you get yourself a nasty looking tattoo :P.
    The second season of the Jigoku Shoujo series, judging from what i watched, this season's seems to be much better, aside from the normal "Ippen Shindu Miru" scenes, there were also background stories about Hell Girl's helpers and how she become "Hell Girl".. insight on how the HellGirlTeam works...the main story though, somewhat repetitive was much easier to watch compared to that of the previous season, .. which was very repetitive.. and Sides.. Enma Ai's just have that killer look.. when she does her job.. she has this emotionless face..but, you can tell that she's just hiding alot of pain within her..just like some of us..i wonder.. ha..

    i won't want to drag this too long.. so i'll just show one more anime on my fav. list :P haah..



    Chobits



    Chobits is, honestly the second anime i watched in my life..(First being, Love Hina. hohoho) and i have to say.. i actually enjoy it very much, despite it being all Cutesy and stuff..though, there are some perv. moments in the anime..it is nevertheless hilarious, seeing the main character have a nose bleed every moment is certainly worth the laugh... but onwards to the serious stuff..this Anime revolves around Love, Issues of life and the borders of humanity.. i recommend you this anime if you like cute stuffs, a CLAMP fan (* Like me! ;p ) or have a fetish for robots.. ha..as i think it's an anime that targets a specfic group of people.. hmmm..





    What would Chi do? Chi...

    well.. like i said.. i'm quite a selective watcher... so.. my list isn't long..but if you an anime watcher.. it's worth the effort! .. ohh. and by the way, i'm not an expert reviewer, the reviews are based on my opinion and mood.. :P

    onwards to the next Nihon!Jinx! activity!.. ha




    so.. recently i've picked up another hobby!!..
    I'm not sure of the official term for it yet...
    but i'll just call it "Figurine Photography", seems to fit in with what it's about...
    Still Life Photography of Figurines..

    so far.. i've only one figurine to model :P

    "Saber" from Fate/Stay Night.. in a white bikini!... *drools...
    it might actually seem perv.. but.. she's one of my favourite characters and it's actually one of the better looking Saber figurines in stock.... :P
    and i got it cheap.. though.. that might be the reason why it's quite grime.. been on display for quite long, infact, i'm afraid it might be a bootleg version of it!!.. roar..

    here are some shots i shot last night, ain't prefect.. but i'm trying to play around with settings and lighting..


    Saber With Chibi Saber!





    one of my favourite shots.. i like the lightning..but.. perhaps Saber doesn't suit this lightning.. she's in a bikini for goodness sake!!.. hah



    Honestly, i think the shots were either mediocre or inferior..guess i have to invest more time and money into other figures.. maybe a new table lamp or two.. Camera lens would have to wait.. but.. then again.. it'll help.. :P anyone wanna donate to the "Helpthewilfredfund"? :p.. well, guess thats about it for now... tomorrow's just another work day! i'll see you guys around ;) cheers...






    oh.. by the way.. i have a new toy in my room.. guess what it is :P haha
