Gonna have to leave it to the next update...

Been very busy with life.

There's now a big backlog for blog updates. The Seoul/Japan trip, AFA'09, WeiB Schwarz outings etc. And not to mention many more events to come.

*sigh* I will just have to leave them for another day.

Now I shall proceed to booking in once again.

NS sucks - weekends are just not enough!

I am so freaking busy lately. There is just so much things I want/need to do, and most of them can only be done OUTSIDE of camp. Which is how today's post title derived from. NS sucks - and it is literally sucking away almost all my weekdays free time!!

Or maybe it is just because I got poor time management skill. =_=

Nah, I will just simply blame NS. It sounds cooler.

Anyway, I went out with a few dudes that I only met for the first time yesterday, to watch the Evangelion 2.0 movie - "You can (not) advance". It happened that I recently got myself involved in a small anime group in the Mindef forum, and they then invited me to join them for their movie outing. So I was like "Why not?" and hence went along. =P

Pretty entertaining episode, and much better than the first movie. Probably because I watched this in the cinemas, unlike the previous one where I caught it on a really small tv screen.
I won't say much, go read the bazillion reviews out there on the net if you interested. And check out the trailer that I have attached after this sentence.



The guys from the Mindef "anime club" were a bunch of interesting people. I haven't actually id all of their faces and names yet, so maybe more future group activities and I will know them better.

I was saying that I wanted to post about my Seoul/Tokyo trip. Yea, I will do it on the next post, I promise. I got the photos ready, but didn't want to clash with this article. Let me do it this coming friday.

Back to Singapore and NS

Finally, after a 8 days trip to Seoul & Tokyo I am back home. Was supposed to return on Sunday, but had to overstay by a day as the initial plane was packed.

It was a typical trip, for mostly the Japan segment, with tons of shopping and eating. I haven't actually started unpacking my stuff, so I will throw in the photos and describe my trip in more details on a future post entry.

Gonna report back to camp soon. Hmm, strangely, I actually missed that place a little... but it still feels like a chore just to book in. ~_~

PS3 down, and going overseas

Phew.

Been a while since I last updated, hasn't it?

You know how it works - the more busy I am in real life, the less likely I am updating... even though that usually means I have a lot of things to talk about, but never the time to write them down. ~_~

Anyway, this is yet another sudden and short notice. I am leaving for Seoul, and a few days later, to Tokyo, in an hour time. Going for another holiday, after the six months period that was my last trip. I will be back by to this sunny island on 091109.

Yesterday, I purchased my fifth PS3 game title: "Agarest Senki"...

This title pretty much slipped under my radar, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it on the shelves. I figured I would get back home and play the night away, before I leave for overseas.

That was the plan, until my PS3 ate my Agarest Senki dvd and refused to eject, nor even read the disc. Accompanied with some crazy spark from the machine, and a faint smell that reminds me of melting plastic... ... #$@!&%

So I was then stuck with a working PS3, but one that cannot play any game for the most probable reason: the bluray drive motor died.

To cut the long story short, I spent half the Sunday today traveling back and fro from home to get my PS3 serviced. Thankfully there was a 1-year warranty still covering it.

Though, I got to say it was a freaking coincidence that 6mths ago, I purchased this PS3 before I left for my holiday. Now it just had to break down when I am about to go away. Arrggh.

Anyway, got to run now... oh, and Happy Halloween!
