Review: Kimi ni Todoke Season 2 (up to ep 3) thoughts

I feel like shaking Kazehaya and Sawako! They should just get together soon! I have not really read the manga yet, but I'm thinking that this Kento guy will trigger the love scene between Kazehaya and Sawako. It's sooo long since they're really talking to each other! Is this Kento guy good or bad? Or is he just playing around with Sawako? It seems so initially, until he saw Sawako smile. Then it seems that he has actually fallen in love with her. I like the part where Sawako interacts with her class, even though I think it has been depicted quite a few times. Somehow, the sincerity just won me over, even through the com screen. I can't wait for the next ep.

Review: Rio Rainbow Gate! ep 1 + 2

Plot: In an island casino called the Howard Resort , Rio Tachibana is a popular casino dealer with the ability to bring good luck to gamblers just by walking past them, earning her the nickname "The Goddess of Victory". Mint Clark, a young child, comes to the Howard Resort with her grandfather and encounters Rio, and the two become the best of friends. Rio's life soon changes when she learns that she is a "Gate Holder", a dealer who holds one of the 13 legendary cards called "Gates", and whoever collects them all will be named "Most Valuable Casino Dealer" (MVCD). To collect all 13 Gates, Rio must take part in special matches called "Gate Battles" with other Gate Holders and gain their Gates to become the most popular dealer in the world. (Credits to wiki) 1st episode - I thought that it was a watchable anime, since the starting was still normal, with Mint running around the area in the casino and the casino itself, ev

GEK1545

I'm perfectly happy with my GEK1545. It's hilarious and interesting, and I would grade is up there with TS1101E. Everyone should take it! And, I have finally sent the email to fas, to ask whether I can do the module conversion. If not, I probably have to take 1 more module so as to fulfil the graduation requirement.

Review: Gosick ep 1

Plot : GOSICK takes place in 1924 in a small, made-up European country of Sauville. The story centers on Kazuya Kujo, the third son of a Japanese Imperial soldier, who is a transfer student to St. Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. There he meets Victorique, a mysterious yet beautiful and brilliant girl who never comes to class and spends her days reading the entire content of the library or solving mysteries that even detectives can't solve. (credit to animenewsnetwork)    I like mysteries! From the look of this first episode, it has the feel of Professor Layton (the video game), and it perks up my interest =) The starting of the series is abit unnatural, because it doesn't really make sense. Kazuya Kujo is dubbed by the other students to be a character in one of the urban legends, and his teacher? told him to read up more on the urban lengends and horror stories so as to make friends with his classmates (weird right? What ki

Review: Kimi ni Todoke Season 2 ep 0

Finally it's the second season! I've been waiting for it for sooooo looooongggg. This episode follows Kurumi and her feelings from middle school, and it reveals more of why she likes Kazehaya. It's a bit boring if you have read the manga, but I think that it's crucial to make the characters more rounded. That's one thing that I like about Kimi ni todoke. The main characters have a lot of depth. There are quite a few repeating scenes in this episode, but if you're a fan of it, you probably won't mind it that much, like me =)

Review: Beelzebub ep 1

Plot : The story follows the "strongest juvenile delinquent", Oga Tatsumi, who is a first year in "Ishiyama High" the school for delinquents. The story starts as he is telling the story of how he found the baby to his best (and only?) friend Furuichi Takayuki. One day while fishing by the river (actually, taking revenge on people trying to kill him in his sleep), he sees a man floating down it. He pulls him to shore and it reveals a baby boy. This boy is the son of the demon king and he has been chosen as the one to raise it with the baby's maid Hilda. (credits to wiki) It's quite a refreshing change from the usual genres where they just do fan-servicing or fighting. I see promise in this series, especially when there's quite a lot of light comedy scenes in it =) The baby is super cute, and the way Oga tries to keep him from crying is super duper funny! And the reason why is becasue when the baby cries, everyone around him will get shocked! It&#

Review: Oniichan no koto nanka zenzen suki janain dakara ne!! ep 1

The plot is about a younger sister who does almost everything to get the notice of her brother, and her brother is also a pervert, peeking at his sister's panties and stuff. It's very incest-related, especially when there are hints dropping everywhere that both of them likes each other. But, I think the anime has a bit too much of the bro-complex =( It has exceeded my tolerance when the whole episode is about the two of them. Somehow, the plot seems too shallow for my liking, and maybe a tad too digusting. And that's rare, since I have been said to have a bit of a bro-complex myself.

DSS birthday + others

Kind of celebrated dss's birthday in clubrm. I guess I'm nt that good at organising stuff? HAHA. cuz we ended up sitting and chatting abt nth, and just doing some stupid stuff.

Day 2 of batam trip - 3rd jan

Woke up super early. The rest were still slping. I think chengwei was the second one to wake up. And some of the guys have to go back to sg early, so left me, yuxi, mj, zy and bh. 5 of us. The guys dabaoed a muffin each for us, but it was totally not nice. And we drank white wine in the morning sia. Not a lot la, but then it is quite shocking. Slacked until around 12 den we went off to BCG mall (i think) and ate lunch there. We had fries marathon, and it was horrible. Cheese fries become thousand island fries. I think they dunno how to cook de. After that we went arcade again. On the way, we saw some tattoos shop and bh was jokingly saying that he will sponsor pple to do tattoo! haha. And we also went to the hypermart to buy stuff again. For the whole trip, it was just eating, and walking around, eating again, not forgetting our dearest arcade for company. Imagine. We played until we got 500+ tickets, which is a hell lot considering that we were there only for 2 days.

My batam trip - 2/1/11 to 3/1/11

Met Chin-i, cw, mj, kyn and zy at harbourfront in the morning to take the ferry to batam in the morning. And almost all of us were late. HAHA. supposed to meet at mac and eat too, but only 3 of us managed to sit down there to eat. And the reason gave was because the iphone alarm didn't work and cw couldn't wake up. It was quite funny. We went to the counter and took our advance tickets. It was batamfast, and the guys only remembered that they have to notify SAF that they are going overseas AFTER they scan their passports. Nice. HAHA. They kinda panicked and stood there using the iphone to send the notification. So, we ended up being one of the last few going into the ferry and got lousy seats which are stuffy, and there were also people smoking in the ferry. Not good. MJ and I htht-ed in the ferry while cw just slpt RIGHT AFTER he got on board. Damn zai. With us talking so loudly, I'm amazed that he can slp right through it. Took like around 45 mins to reach batam. I go
