And BeHoLd...Episode II
Ctd'

Anyway, after the perfume idiot zoomed off, I suddenly realised that it was already 5.30pm and we have yet to go to the anime shop. So we quickly took a train to Raffles place. Again, we almost missed our stop but didn't, so great right?
Wrong.
Coughcough* When we first met up that day, I mentioned in passing to xyz that the place was near Raffles based on my memory. The problem is, we neglected (okie okie!! I neglected..HAPPY??) to check whether it was Raffles place or Raffles city (i.e City Hall stop). So, since we were so busy talking and just walking like zombies, somehow we assumed it was Raffles place.
Anyway, I was having my doubts when we nearing the control station and wanted to check my map first before exiting the place but NOoooo....mr. xyz had already zoomed out. Gawds...of all the times...he just had to be so efficient now!
I took out three crumpled pieces of paper that was our map. Staring back at me...CITY HALL...crap. Oh well, at least things was keeping with the spirit of the day, i.e. compulsively missing our stops.
You see, the map is quite er...complicated. I think I'll scan it and post it online for your viewing pleasure =P
Anyway, one of the reasons why I got xyz to come with me is precisely for situations such as this. Oh well, we could very well headed back into the station and effortlessly taken the train back to city hall and start navigating from there but I guess xyz was quite sure how to walk from where we were and somehow 'back-read' the landmarks on the map. Hmm...army sure did pay off. Haha..truthfully, xyz you did a good job. I just a follower...macham treasure hunt.
At least, I got to walk past Clark quay and act all touristy.
And Lo and Behold...we actually found the shop! The map, by the way, is super detailed. Even xyz could tell that my fren must have visited this place A LOT.
So happy!! Squeal!
I finally got my KENSHIN four part OVA dvd: Trust and Betrayal for the unbelievable price of $25!!!! Oh wow oh wow....Somemore, it's Jap with eng subs!
The shop was quite small but crapped with stuff, figurines galore and anime paranaphalia. Prince of Tennis, Naruto, Sakura Wars, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, One piece, Kenshin.............this are just some that I know would interest my frens =)
Anyway...I saw this really really cool Kenshin figurine. It was really so beautiful that even xyz agreed that it was cool. I think its Kenshin when he was 15 yrs and in all his Hitokiri Battousai glory. The angular face, penetrating eyes, gorgeous straight red hair pulled up in a sexy high ponytail. The nondescript but essentially forbidding navy blue gi and white hakama...He is perfectly crafted and airbrush painted...and even comes with a real metal samurai sword....
I WANT......
but $400.....guys..u listening??? This would make a really really great 21st birthday present.
Seriously.
Okay, show's over folks, i have a party to prepare for =). Scram....and start saving.
