I'm picking up Jormungand, Accel World, Fate Zero and Folktales from Japan. I've tried Lupin but it's really not suitable to my taste. Aside from Mine Fujiko's tits and sexual graphic, I find it hard to find any interesting point in the series. The thievery cases look too simple =S

Jormungand is not recommended to all people. Not sure what attracted me from this series. If you wanna mention the shooting scenes, it looks too fake with no one getting seriously shot in direct firing =S Might be interaction of Koko and the red-eyed boy, as well as their value of 'justice'. This series doesn't have much plot either. It's basically trying to find some reason to snipe/bomb/shoot someone in every episodes...

Accel World wasn't in my list previously but since this is very popular, I'm trying it out. Turned out I like it. I like the value of our first chara. He is just trying to be loyal and paying back the favour. Romance of the girl is too forced for me, as if they are desperately trying to put in romance aspect in the series. It's good enough without honestly. Another thing that attracts me might be the concept of the virtual world itself, I have a soft spot for this kind of setting =3

Fate/Zero. No comment. This is just awesome. Awesome battle scenes and twisted behaviors of all the characters in it. Beside, impossible for me who watch all Type Moon series to skip this series.

I picked Folktales from Japan because I like fairy tales in general. A few of the stories presented in this series are not popular so I haven't heard about it. They put 3 stories in each eps. I should say this is a good anime to feed your little cousins or nephew/nieces when you want them to be a good kid glued to the TV (provided they can read English sub or understand Jap though :p).

Meanwhile, people has started to compile visual guide and summary of 2012 summer anime. Personally looking forward for Sword Art Online :D

After such a long consideration, here are the things I decided to do this year:
1. Finding a new job - you know that staying in a place too long will get you attached right? Yea, I don't feel like getting attached to my current company. If you stay in the 'comfort' zone for too long, you will just become weak. There are still things to learn but I don't feel like missing something awesome if I move from it. I went to the temple for a reading (wow, I know I'm a science student who prefer logic rather than supernatural things) and actually it doesn't show me much hope for a new job. Still, I want to try. Oh, but I do stay if they increased my salary like 15-20% (yea, you wish :p)
2. Continue with my fic - I've been on the hiatus for too long. Last night I had a sudden flash of plot ideas to complete the last part of my Brave Story fic. I know I need to progress with my original fic too but... one by one. I figured this fic will take me more than a year *hahahaha*
3. 30 books this year - no change on the sum. I just hope I will have enough leisure time. Shouldn't be hard considering now I have my phone which can act as e-book reader lol
4. Learn more Chinese - I don't have a good progress for this. More like, I can't properly measure it since I don't have exam and such. I know it's not much though. The only way I can do is to read more Chinese novel. Oh, and get to type in Chinese if I can. It does takes forever for me to remember the pinyin of certain words but... lol you never learn if you never train right? :p
5. Last but not least, keep my current body weight. I'll just be realistic and admit I wouldn't be able to get 'slimmer' than this *hahaha* With lack of exercise and more culinary expedition weekly :p

Basically that's all I plan to achieve this year. If you notice, it shouldn't be that much different from year to year LMAO Moreover, those targets shouldn't be too hard except the first one. I'll strive for it! *pats myself in the back*

I'm currently back in my hometown, stress-free and enjoying my hard-earned 2 weeks leave! *yippeeee* I hope you all enjoy it too ^^

Another year has swiftly passed. I'm back in the start of the year... Kinda scary actually. Not to feel the time passing... ooops, let's not get into depressed mode ^^;; Anyone who want to see the list of books I read in 2011, please click after cut ^^ More information for each book is available in this link.

( The 30 books I read )

Since I don't have too much things planned this year, retrospective post will be as short LOL

• Read at least 30 books this year.
  Thank God I finished yesterday with it. It will be shameful if I don't manage to fulfill any this year -.-
• Writing my own original fic.
  No thanks to my busy work, I can't do this *roll eyes* I barely have time for my games, otaku life and reading *boooo*
• Finding a new job after mid-year.
  Not a good year to move, I've tried but no success. Will move it to next year.

I haven't had time to post these until today. As I said, my sis came and we went to the Miku concert. Too bad photographs and camera is not allowed in the concert. However, I managed to steal two shots, one Rin and one Len, no Miku sadly. I really need to jump at least for 1.5 hours in the 2 hours concert, else I won't be able to see a thing thanks to my chibi height - 1.5m >_>;

Oh, and also post one nendo pic given by xinan2 ^^ Miku is now 'flying' on top of my tv :p
( Pics after the cut )
I still have a few pics from my meet up with xinan2, but he has yet mail me. With this, I met two NCIS forum staff ^^ iyanskye, are you going to be the next? XDDD

And this is totally unrelated with my entry, but just awesome for those who watch Fate Zero, Idolmaster and know Vocaloid!

This will be a busy month but will be very fulfilling XD

First, I'll be going to Miku 3D concert! I've been waiting for it to come to Singapore, I SO wouldn't miss this chance to see her in full size! XDDD It has been three years since I became addicted to Vocaloid songs and true fan LOL

Second, my sis is coming to Singapore to watch the concert! Of course not only for that. She will attend the AFA (Anime Festival Asia) too, it's her first time coming to this event. I'm going to pass it this year since a lot of overseas guests are coming. The next three days, we'll be going out together. I might not be able to say it out loud in person but I do miss my family :) Love to have her here. Grateful for my owner too since she allow her to stay in my place ^^

Third, I'll be meeting xinan2 during my trip to KL this 5th-7th ^^ We had made a dinner appointment on one of the day XDD Looking forward for this too.

Fourth, new anime season has started! I picked up a lot this time but still in the process of selecting those that I want to continue LOL I've dropped Persona 4 after the first ep though, it just looks too funny to me to continue. I should just pray and wait the game will be converted to PSP ver. :p The next in line to be dropped is Un-Go, if the cases stays that lame ^^;; Oh, I'm also waiting for the OVA of the game I played, Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki The Animation

Fifth, FF0 will be released this month! ^^ Yeash I know it's still Japanese ver and will be awhile before we get any Eng ver, still, FF game release date always remarkable :p Another game to be released this month is: PROJECT DIVA EXTEND! *clap hands* I literally fidgeting waiting for it!

So all in all, Nov is definitely month of the year :p Sorry for all my LJ friends who I had abandoned these few months. I'm not forgetting and I do check back your journal every once a while. I hope you all are okay and enjoy your day too! ^^ Until next time~~ Ah, last note, since I bought a new phone (with camera), I might be able to post something from the concert later ^^ We'll just see~ XDDD

Get your dad to buy more dollars. You can earn a lot after recession.

Yes, it is a busy month and is still ongoing. Project has been started and will continue until Oct. I had been doing constant overtime for these last month ^^;; The only good thing is I'm doing the overtime voluntarily. This time most of the team members are so nice. We get along so well that it's a pity if we don't work hard to make this

I don't have much time to progress with my book >_> Right now I only have time to catch up with my ongoing anime ^^;;

I started a habit of drinking warm lemon water in the morning after I woke up. It's sour of course but still on bearable stage. They said it's good for detox and can get you slimmer. I'm aiming for the latter part obviously :p This is common girl's problem *hahaha* I admit even a fujoshi can have it :p

Right now I'm looking forward to Project Diva Extend 2.5 game release in autumn and Supernatural which will start in next month :D

Recently I played Are You Alice? PSP game. I only understand like 1/3 of what they are talking about in the game based on my listening experience for being 8 years otaku LOL Moreover, I can't read Japanese except of some very basic words LOL This doesn't stop me from playing the game though. With gorgeous bishie around and such nice seiyuus, I ain't going to pass this. Thank goodness at least I understand the overall story LMAO

I read the manga awhile after I start the game. That's when I realize the series actually tagged as 'wish list' in my mangaupdates list LMAO My~ I guess if I did interested with it, I am STILL interested with it in the future LOL I would recommend this series to anyone who like dark fairy tale. Personally, that's SO my genre among with fantasy adventure, zombie survival and chinese martial arts *hahaha*
