Oh Look at That Pile of Assignments!

Not wanting to rush myself and have enough time for work and play in-between, I'll extend the hiatus until 8th December 2011 the earliest when I would be free. Maybe I'll put up some quick posts in the secondary blog to highlight some of what I've did when I was at Singapore earlier this month from 10th-14th November 2011. It is unfortunate I could not meet up with my fellow bloggers again this year as my schedule was more packed than last time. Ah well, this recent trip made me realized I would like to take a nice one week holiday to go around Singapore. A nice place it is although pricey when it comes to daily consumables. ^^;

Simply Sedap @ Swinburne Soft Opening

Sudden post! This week was a rather "hangover" week. My mind was mostly hazy since I got partially sick (headache with mild fever) which made finalizing my assignments and doing my mid-term papers this week... hellish. I'm pretty much okay already but it seems my focus is still hazy. Could be a side-effect or the weather has a big impact on me. I'm not sure. I just hope all goes well with whatever I did for this week since I couldn't focus completely on them. ._. ...for the best.

At any rate, back to the lighter side of things. I'm slightly free again so I feel like doing a quick post on the newest addition to the Swinburne Sarawak Campus - Simply Sedap. Chillipeppers, which was located near the hostel of the campus, closed down early this year. Starting today, the area is being officially taken by Simply Sedap.

Assignment Implied Hiatus

Going on a hiatus until at least 18 November 2011 in order to do my assignments and other responsibilities. Kinda obvious from the lack of posts and unfinished reviews for a while (as well as things I wanted to do haven't been done like some omakes in mind with the BB Sinanju and such). I guess being president of SAMS (Swinburne Anime & Manga Society) really made me all the busier this year after all. I even got random minor projects going for the club.

See you all later next month. ^^;

SAMS (Swinburne Anime & Manga Society) Maid Cafe 2011

Sorry for the extremely late post up but lots of things came up, seriously. Other than just academic work, I had to manage the post event stuff (which isn't completely covered yet) and upcoming events. Ah, to be busy with so many responsibilities. ^^;

Right now I'm also busy with a sudden prospect which will be revealed later once we get through the technicalities. I can say this one will be something nice for the club. =)

Note: All photos are taken by the photographer team and none by me this time.

The SAMS Maid Cafe - Versailles Maid Cafe was held on the 23rd September 2011. The date was supposed to be 9th-10th September 2011 but various stuff came up so we had to postpone and change the timing a bit. We had two shifts. One in the afternoon (11am-2pm) and one at night (5-7pm). The night time slot wasn't in the original plan so I'm very sorry for those who had trouble coming in as security was stricter at night.

Alice Madness Returns Bookmarks for SAMS

TBH, they may not be of the most creative design (or 'logical') but I'm liking what I've done. Did it all tonight, just now, right after I came back home from my mid-term paper. Nonetheless, you may critique (with good reasoning of course) my works.

Note that none of the art were done by me - I found them at zerochan. The overall design was by me. FYI, I'm a simple person so I don't really put much background detail. However, if you have any suggestions there, shoot. :)

If you're wondering what I used, I just used ze good ol' Photoshop 7. :D

PS: No stealing or use without permission, especially for commercial uses.

Until the next post~

"There's an Alien on my Blog!"

UNDENIABLE TRUTH! So that's why! *sudden realization*

*coughs* Back to work.

PS3 Disgaea 3 & 4 GET!

Got these in the mail today. I know there will be a remake for Disgaea 3 for the PS Vita but still thought of getting the game that made me decide to get the PS3 in the first place. I really wanted Disgaea 3 for ages. The one on the right is the Disgaea 4 Premium edition. Not really much in fact but the price wasn't far off from the standard release currently so I went with it since I had the chance. (And if anyone wants to retaliate again, Disgaea 4 is my 2nd PS3 game that cost me more than RM100, Disgaea 3 cost me less than that.)

The US premium edition only comes with a bonus of a guide book and fixed pose figure of Fuka.

The figure doesn't exactly shout "quality" to me but okay-ish.

Overall the premium edition feels alright but could be better. I'd like to get that Nendo Fuka if possible but sadly I couldn't grasp the chance when the Japanese release was up last time. Ah well, still enjoying it at any rate. =)

That's all for this month's get post so far. Still haven't brought myself to type out some of the review posts yet since the mood hasn't kicked in. ^^; I think some of you would like some write up about the SAMS Maid Cafe 2011 event that was held on 23rd September... >.>

Okay, time for bed, seriously.

Crossbone X-1 Cloak

Since Blade.requested for it last time, here's the best I could do with the equipment I can use while at my apartment.

The background box is just a bit bigger than a standard A4 paper while the width of the cloak is only a bit longer than a standard A4 paper. The rest is up to your imagination bro. ^^; Uploaded full size for best effect.

Spark Gundam Rough Build Setup

Next up... Spark Gundam. Just a minor part moving here plus an idea of how the backpack and left armguard will be. Hmhm. (Actually put this up in FB for a while but decided to cross-post it here for some content over my blog. ^^;)

TBH, I need a 00 Qan[T] body if I were to try modding this guy out.

Roughly, this is how it will be but I can't really use the 00 Gundam's body even though it is possible. It adds more work than necessary so I'll be waiting for Gao Gao to release their 00 Qan[T]. Who knows, I might even make a dual-wing-binder 00 Qan[T] for fun along the way too. =P

The Spark Gundam design goes like this;

• Part of the Exia family, thus is focuses on melee and speed as well.
• Incorporates latest GN technology by utilizing a miniaturized Twin Drive in the chest location.
• Backpack wings are inspired by V2 Gundam, which the Spark Gundam is overall based on asides from Astraea-Exia-00-Qan[T].
• The left arm has a prototype armament - GN Beam Shield. It can be a beam shield or a beam vulcan. The vulcan can used to form an unexpected beam saber as well.

That's all for this random posting~ Hopefully I can make this build a reality within the near future although I think I can only do it sometime next year rather than this year. But, who knows? Heng Kim Trading, a local shop, has most of what I need to do it now...

Swinburne Club Recruitment Drive Semester 2 2011 (Simplified)

On 14th and 15th September (Wednesday and Thursday), Swinburne Sarawak Student Council (SSSC) held the club recruitment drive again. Overall not so many people came to the Auditorium, the usual room it is held at, for those two days unlike before. However, our club booth - Swinburne Anime & Manga Society (SAMS) - was livelier than usual even if we didn't get many new members this time around through this event.

On the first day, our display was simple and rather limited. Here is what I donated for the first day. Sorry that I haven't made the omake on them yet. It may be another "fishing" story.

On the second day, we had so much and extended the table a lot! There are more photos but they aren't with me as one of the committee was tasked for that.

For the second day especially, I did something either totally interesting or absolutely mad. I had fun with it and it added publicity for the club as well as made the overall area more interesting. Well, somewhat. Took quite a number of photos with random people because of that. >_>

That's all for this simple post. Night classes are easier to doze off in and sleep is always good to have. Maybe I'll edit this post with a bit more stuff after this when my friends' photos are up. :P
