We Can Fix It!

No, it's not something from the children's show Bob the Builder (which I used to watch btw), it's the awesome new movie Wreck It Ralph! I can't wait for it to be out here in Singapore!

Did you know that Disney Studios Singapore did a promo thing for the movie, having bloggers cosplay as Wreck It Ralph and respectively during L2P and EOY? If you managed to find them you'd get a Wreck It Ralph premium or some cool stuff. Can't believe I didn't hear about it till AFTER the event! I'd definitely would have tracked them down if I did, moreover I was at both events even though it was for a really short time. So disappointed! Smith looks kinda cute as Ralph from the photos!

Well, if you missed that event like I did, do check out the Wreck It Ralph PK Day Out event happening tomorrow at Bugis Junction (outside Mango) around 3PM. BoyThunder, Kimberly and Aloysius will be leading the three teams to participate in the challenge and I'm in BoyThunder's team!


 Anyway, if you can't get enough of Wreck-It Ralph like me, you can always download the mobile apps they've released. There's a further comic on Hero's Duty as well as a Wreck-It Ralph game app going at $1.20SGD if I'm not wrong. The game app is awesome! It includes 3 games, the main Fix-It Felix game, and Hero's Duty. I can't play Hero's Duty on iphone for nuts though, can't seem to get the controls right somehow >.<
My first score playing Fix It Felix :D


That said, let me leave you with Owl City's (one of my fave artists btw) music video for When Can I See You Again, the title song for Wreck It Ralph movie. Do check it out, the concept's pretty neat, I really love the 8bit / pixel art set!


PS. Just realized that tags here do matter whether it's in caps or not, so some tags might not work properly. Please bear with me while I'm getting that sorted out, thank you!

Bedtalk with John from Boys Like Girls ;)

The night before yesterday night, I won a chance to talk to John from Boys Like Girls through 91.3FM. The call was hosted by BoyThunder and there were 2 other callers as well. Boys Like Girls fans, if you didn't manage to catch the short interview we did with John on air tonight, no worries, I've got it recorded here for your listening pleasure (and my memory keepsake (^ _ ^)/~~ )


Btw, the thing about me asking if he remembers me. What happened is the last time they were here, he approached me saying "I like your style" etc etc on two separate occasions. And I was the only one with bright blonde hair, so I was thinking I'd identify myself. Well it didn't exactly go well. Lol.

Moving on, hahaha, Boys Like Girls' new album Crazy World has already been released, so do go grab a copy if you haven't already! (:

Post Migration

In the process of migrating over old posts from my old blogs. Just the important ones or ones that really mean something to me. So yeah, anything before April 2012 are from my old blogs.

Well, that also means that you get to read my previous concert/event experiences in my cutesy teenager English. D:

My First KOI Drink

So. I left my laptop charger in school and the photos are in my currently dead laptop. Therefore the EOY post won't be up today.

Instead, I have a photo of me enjoying the first KOI drink I ever bought for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, even though there was the whole KOI craze I never actually bought one myself. I've drunk KOI twice before but they were treats from others. I guess I've never actually bought it cause there were always long queues when I passed by the shop, but well, there weren't any today and I was gonna buy a drink anyway so yeah. Got the Green Tea Macchiato (cause I'm a green tea junkie  ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ )  . I didn't exactly drink it the correct way though, was on the go so I shook it like a normal milk tea drink, grabbed a straw and poked a huge hole in it (^_^;)

For those who don't know, the correct way to drink it is to use the small knife they give you, cut a slit in the cup and drink it like a glass of water to enjoy the full taste. Oh well, there's always a next time I guess!

PS. Finally adjusted the layout so that I can put in bigger pictures now. Ain't that so much better? :D
Also, I'm thinking of importing posts from my old blogs here, like those on my concert experience and stuff. Wonder if anyone would wanna read. haha.

License2Play 2012

Dropped by both events (L2P and EOY) today for a really short while cause I had stuff on afterwards. Here's my take on my 1hr spent at L2P.

L2P wasn't really crowded when I arrived (at around 3pm). Headed straight for the Ragnarok booth, did the "quests" which include throwing metal rings onto a standee thingy. I think it was kinda dangerous tho, cause it wasn't easy to get on and half the time I barely missed hitting the Ragnarok staff with the metal rings >.<

The standee thingy. Had to try to throw these metal rings onto the spikes of the crown.

Shortly after, bumped into some friends near the EA booth and Nescafe booth.
 
 With Toshiro as Sephiroth from Final Fantasy. I love his super long sword! I mean most Sephiroth cosplayers don't exactly have it at the correct length.
(Thanks to Jason Trooper for helping me take this photo)

Anyway grabbed some loot at the EA booth, then headed to the stage and was just in time to see the results of the western cosplay competition. Took pics of Lavi on stage, she was cosplaying Katarina from League of Legends. Haven't seen her for ages! <3 Sigh, the lighting was so bad though and I didn't have the right lens to shoot with so most photos ain't of good quality.
A Lavi that's happy to see me. ヽ(*・ω・)ノ Hahaha.

 Getting comments from the judges. They love her flips!

 Also, congrats to Jason and Joey for winning the competition! 
Sorry, I don't know who the other girl is >.<

Finally noticed Joey! A Joey in the foreground and a Joe in the background. 8D

Then headed over to the Blizzard booth. I don't exactly play WoW, Starcraft or Diablo anymore, but well, used to play those games alot when I was in high school. They had some pretty neat art and stuff on display. I heard that they gave away the art pieces as a lucky draw or something too.

 A chibi(small) Tyrael! Haha so cute! It looks a little like one of those bobble head stuff, except with better proportions. Jason should take a photo with it. Too bad it's in a glass casing..


I did walk around the whole event hall, which was smaller than I expected. I wish I had more time to spare though, heard that it was really fun doing the quests from each booth from some of my friends who did them. Most were giving out quite abit of loot too.
Pretty cool World of Tanks display


Here's my loot for today ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ :
 I really like this door hanger that they gave us upon ticket purchase to L2P~ \(@ ̄∇ ̄@)/


Overall I'd say SGD5/ticket is quite okay, given if you stick around long enough and/or do the quests at the booths, you do actually get more than $5 worth of stuff already. Talking about money, Play Imaginative had a both there selling toys at quite a steal, but I wanted to save money so I didn't get anything 。・゚゚・(>д<)・゚゚・。 I'd love to get my hands on some Disney figures and the Gloomy Bear plushie which was going for only SGD8!!

Well, that sums up my 1 hour at L2P. Will post about my 1 hour of EOY tomorrow!
(Hopefully.) ヽ(゚Д゚)ノ

Eeveelution!

 Pokemon Black 2

After much walking around Castelia city, I managed to catch 4 Eevees, two of which are now a Jolteon and Flareon. I'm hoping to complete the Eeveelution by this year!  O(≧▽≦)O

Boys Like Girls - 3 Days To Crazy World LP!


3 MORE DAYS TO BOYS LIKE GIRLS' CRAZY WORLD LP! So stoked!!!  I can't wait!! I'm sure neither can the rest of TheMartinSayers (TMS) either!

If you don't know who my all time favourite band is, they're the guys who brought us the hit songs "The Great Escape" and "Thunder". The first time I heard their sound was is 2006/2007, following my first band's decision to cover "The Great Escape" for our first Gig.

I remember being really happy that Martin signed my 
headphones cause I thought he wouldn't. (2008)

Anyway, I've been pretty lucky so far, been able to watch all their live shows in Singapore, plus getting to meet them twice (and Bryan on a separate occasion). Once with Debbie for their title album signing, another with TMS (tons of thanks to Diane, founder of TheMartinSayers!) when they were here to perform for the STAR Concert held by The Straits Times.

Awesomely cute Kathy getting squished by Morgan (:

Go on, click on the play buttons below to listen to three of my favourite preview tracks from the upcoming Crazy World LP! Do check out their album site at www.blgcrazyworld.com as well. Enjoy~ ♫
