"紅著眼 走遠 昨天 還在草原安睡 靜靜的白茅搖曳 突然間變成了 刀和槍的樂園"
Continuing from the previous scene in the Ayasaki chapter..
(Guest appearance from Tomoe of Queens Blade.)
Tomoe:"EVIL! Show Thyself!"
Ayasaki:"Eh?"
And Ayasaki promptly casts magic to vanish all the noisy girls..

I missed the re-release of this in Japan by about a month earlier and so I got these from Latendo.
The magnets are not very friendly. Couple of them keeps toppling over with any slight movements. Otherwise the sculpturings are still as cute as ever!
The cuties!!

A 35 episodes family-oriented serial along the likes of never-ending taiwan drama "爱", with viewership somehow able to dethrone the almightly "爱" that occupied the 7pm slot for n*10000 years and claimed top spot for that couple of weeks.
Doing this in English cos I'm kinda lazy..Haha!

Sponsered by Ministry of Defence and aired around National Day, 宝家卫国 serves as a showcase for Singapore's arsenal and also our prepareness towards total defence. What's good is that the storyline balances the slice of life plots with the artillery display rather well, that adds on to the show's "viewability" whatever this word may mean.
Storyline centres around the Po family, with 黄文永 as the militarian head of the family, 宝鹏举, who brought up his 4 kids alone after his wife died. 洪慧芳 plays 刘亚妹, who is actually the sister of 鹏举's wife and helped raise the 4 kids. She has a thing for 鹏举 but the feeling was not reciprocated till 鹏举 got cheated and realised who is concerned for him.
宝文精(郑斌辉）is the eldest son of the family and thou he is a regular in the army as a commando, brave and all, he has failed numerous times trying to woo fellow officer 欧阳佩佩（陈靓宣）, who had a crush in 宝文忠（王禄江）since schooling days.
文忠 is the 2nd son, a real gentleman who is often too caring towards the opposite gender, thus attracting himself to some unnecessary romantic forwards. He believes in the special feeling that The One will give and he found it in 小诺（姚懿珊）, a girl left with a limp after an accident that took the life of her boyfriend.
宝文卫（瑞恩）plays the 3rd kid of the brood, and the only female in the family. However, due to 鹏举 treating his kids like the army cadets, 文卫 grew up a tomboy, which led to her ex-boyfriend cheating on her cos he finds her not feminine enough. Later on in the show, she had a crush on 巫成议（沈倾掞）, a photographer who is in fact a terrorist attempting to rescue his brother from prison, but eventually falls in love with colleague Picasso (方展发）, whom she was at loggerheads with in the beginning.
The youngest kid, 宝文国（鹤天赐）, is a fresh grad preparing to be enlisted for NS but is reluctant to train for it, which leads to arguments with 鹏举, who finds him a letdown compared to his 2 brothers. Eventually he was awarded the Best Cadet which made 鹏举 changed his attitude towards him.
Bryan looks extremely yummy-licious here whereas TPH is rather cute as a dorky commando. Rui En gets another typical role during those days but isn't very outstanding. Watch for her funny little antics thou(read: slapping guys on the body *piak!*). Oh and this is the first time pairing of Rui-Pierre. Me likes!
Hmm?? Whose Amazon deliveries are these for??
Yikes!
Woah!
Ok. I’ll leave u to the audience..
Big Cardboard Box: *muffled gibberish*
Little Cardboard Box: *chipmunk babble*
Big Cardboard Box:”Ompf!! Phew! Hi! I’m Miura of Yotsuba&! fame. These Amazon boxes are our Danbo cosplays!”
Little Cardboard Box: *more chipmunk babble*
Bling bling!
Got these from eBay after waiting/researching/sourcing/contemplating for a while, to find a re-issue pre-order from Latendo just couple of months after I got them from the seller!
i.e. I got them expensive!! #!%)@#&$)*

Mini Danbo crawls out to the world~

Mini Danbo is damn cute!!!
警匪片。由酷到沒話説，整出戯也只笑了不到10次的安小茜（瑞恩）帶領重案組一隊，包括衝動魯莽的歐陽力（陳漢瑋），冷靜細膩的狄倫（曹囯輝)，一面偵破私會黨的内部糾紛，連續強暴碎屍殺人案，男妓謀殺案等，一面與恐怖組織Dragontooth對立。 苦苦追求安小茜的法醫胡希存（王沺裁），精神輔導師兼好友溫婉柔（林湘萍）也各自有他們的故事。
應該是這出戯讓瑞恩的知名度提升了幾倍。 網友們紛紛為她沒入圍2007紅星大獎最佳女主角（林湘萍凴溫婉柔這個角色奪下此獎）而起了一場小風波。其實，安小茜這個角色除了性格與造型讓人印象深刻外（整天polo tee配牛仔褲與球鞋，嚴肅認真的表情），還真的沒什麽讓人覺得是個該提名的作品。有幾場感情戯瑞恩是發揮得不錯，但就只嫌沒那麽多機會詮釋。
故事，題材很新鮮，雖然有點小over，但還可以接受。與〈最火搭檔〉比較，故事方面我會較喜歡〈最〉的構思與設阱。當然我還是偏心的啦，因爲〈最〉有我兒時的偶像，莉萍姐，還有最新的偶像，盧小姐！
真的有讓我幻想，如果那時Poly過後在還沒鎖定工作的那段時間裏真的跑去儅警察（那時真的真的有想過如果還沒工作邀約的話就去儅警察），現在的我會是怎樣的呢？
p.s. 可是我因爲太討厭跑步(煉球時被操得太過火了），而拖延報考警校的決定。那時也剛好經紀公司隔一兩天打來幫我安排了在現任公司打三個月合約的臨時工。
所以夢想終歸夢想。現在去的話，從初級刑警開始，薪金上得減半，而且右膝蓋也不行了。。又不是直接能儅CID那麽簡單。所以，夢想還是做個夢想一想。心頭上那燃燒著的火焰，就讓現實慢慢澆熄吧。
再想了一想，其實做演員最好，什麽職業都能試一試。哈哈！

The 3 second stunned look on Rui En
瑞恩的感谢词(Other than thanking Ken Lim)：
"不久前，有人说我的个性和形象是不可能成功的，我想跟同我一样的人说，不管别人怎么说，是可以的，只要你努力"
Yes. All the hardwork that you have put in recently have raised the quality of Channel 8 shows and yes, people do see and appreciate your efforts. (Even my aunt and granny were rooting for you)
I'm on a 瑞恩 drama marathon since Thurs and have potatoed thru 破茧而出 and digesting 过好年 at the moment. Seriously speaking, the transition between roles was done so smoothly and discreetly that there is no resemblence of 安晓茜 in 杨小冬, nor 杨小冬 in 叶思琪, nor 叶思琪 in 胡小曼, nor 胡小曼 in 章雅乐, nor 章雅乐 in 王佳珍.. u get the drift. Ok probably its easier with the cool cat roles but the others are totally out of 瑞恩's pattern.
(Mediacorp got to improve their skills on naming characters. That's a lot of xiaos used.)
Her eyes, mannerism and everything, entirely shifts from one role to the other, something I do not see often in the others. And she is able to characterise the character, which is something I applaud as well. (Think of 安晓茜 and u rem her short hair polo tee tough look, think of 杨小冬 and u recall her oversized tee, shorts and silly grin, etc)
So although 瑞恩 has not been casted for any 300000 ep dramas yet, but this I would say might be good for her in that thou she has to put in double the effort to make the audience remember her, she actually has more chances to prove herself with all the diverse roles she received (which actually convinced me that this lass has the best acting chops in Mediacorp amongst the uprising 阿姐s at the moment).
Here's the hug from 大包 which shows that she's not that lonely and cold after all.
So, 瑞恩, you deserved it. (Even thou receiving that award actually puts you in an uncomfortable moment on stage with millions of eyes staring at you live :p)
And thanks for making me utilise the 32" TV in my room.
*And do anyone realise that the snippets of the Best Actresses are all crying scenes!?*
上面那句, 應該是我從新傳媒劇集中聽過最棒的了.
當時劇情講述, 章雅樂(瑞恩)一而再, 再而三地被始終對成天在國外逍遙, 又不太體諒自己的女朋友專一的文濤(方展發)之間曖昧不清的關係感到厭煩, 吵了幾句而冒出體諒的話.
那句, 很感人. 因為, 那包含了度量. 因為, 那承擔了信任.
不簡單.
One fine day...
..out of nowhere, Mio is coaxing a baby bear to come out of his hiding and return the fish to the nonchalant cat.
Ayasaki:"Greetings, My Lady"
Prologue: Let's just pretend that Japanese room setup simply dropped from the sky and landed on my table all fixed up ok?
(I simply lost the pictures I took while assembling!! $&%*#)
*Knock Knock*
Mugi: "Coming~"
Mugi:"Ui-chan!~"
Ui: "Konnichiwa, Mugi senpai."
Yes, finally I had the motivation to set Ui free. Hirasawa Ui, the younger but more matured sister of Hirasawa Yui of K-On fame, gets her own nendoroid!
The box.
The secret of Fate/stay night Nendoroid Puchi set released in 2010.
Got this from eBay as well. :)
From the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: The MOVIE 1st Nendoroid Puchi set, comes Yuuno & Chrono onto my table!
Hmm.. Ok. I was interested in Yuuno cos I thot HE was a SHE, and she looked like Cagalli. It was only until I went to wiki HER, that I found out SHE's a HE!
Ahh complicating..
As for Chrono, it was a, ok, since I bidded for Yuuno, I might as well bid for Chrono since he looks kinda cute and I need some male energy in my coop (before I found out Yuuno is a HE) and I can save on shipping!
Both from eBay~
終于等到了。
一直在期盼兩位創作型歌手的演唱會：戴佩妮 - 去年上云頂看了。就只剩下蔡健雅！
終于終于有消息。只是新加坡的這場較晚公佈，差點一股勁兒飛到臺北看3月26日那場的了。
"RAWWWRRRR!!!"
As so the dino says.
Was surfing Photojojo, the recommended site in one of the mag and managed to click quite a few items into the cart.
Loot came after a few weeks of waiting..
Woots!~
Had to go collect from Post Office as they delivered at the wrong time when no one is around to receive.
Thankfully its not a huge parcel.
Loot breakdown
Ring Flash x 1: For macro shots and to put my purchase on purchase flash to use.
Monsterpod x 1: For sticking my LX3 anywhere since I'm lazy to bring a formal tripod around. The base is kinda greasy on the hands thou..
Bottle cap tripod x 1: Same reason as Monsterpod
Mini Camera model x 1: For the nendos.
The dino came as a free gift and with its color and it was lying in some corner of the box unwrapped, I initially thot it was some monster (lizard or something). Gave me a fright..
Now to put all of them to the test. Haha!
被騗了。真的。
當時的宣傳文案中明明有蔡小姐的名字。真的因爲這樣才去買票。買票后一兩個星期成績揭曉時被澆灑了興致，還以爲至少還有蔡小姐可以期待，怎知道等了一個晚上她都沒出現！！
幾失望很多下。。
會比較喜歡在浮動舞臺舉行的那一屆。無聊了還可以去買東西吃，說說別人的閒話，或拍拍商業區的夜景。室内體育館雖然不用擔心天氣，但悶了只好玩玩FB，或繼續拍照，又或者學忍者變石頭。
看照片。從T34 Row 18拍的。是那個category的第4排。
I have to agree with RR, this set is not as great as Vol 1.
Bon Kurei(Mr 2) looks like Rock Lee of Naruto!!! And my Shanks looks kinda blue in the face. Seasick?
The cuties, Donquixote Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law
Nami and Nami Variant
This has got to be my favorite WCF set of all. Breaking into Impel Down arc.
This set covers Sanji's story at Baratie, complete with Kiddo Sanji!~
Features mostly from Thriller Bark arc, with a few spillovers in Rayleigh, Kuma, Duval and Motobaro.
