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!

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

New hair~

 
Those who know me well would know that I've been cutting and dying my own hair for the past 3 years. Just got a new self-cut haircut last night. In the photo above I've pulled it up into a ponytail, more pics another day. Need to put in some pink soon. (^-^)

PS. Been trying to catch an Eevee on Pokémon Black 2 and it's not exactly been very successful. Anyone has Eevees to spare? :P

Lost, But Not Found

Found this in the house while packing up my games. I really miss my red and black PSP which was stolen from me sometime back. I left it in my bag while going to work at a new work place, didnt think anyone would steal it cause I had stuffed it at the bottom of my bag under all my clothes and other belongings. I lost my God Eater, MHP3 and Persona 3 save data together with it, as well as my Monster Hunter PSP case.

Was really upset because I had ordered my Mon Hun case online (It's pretty much sold out now >.<) and had spent many hours playing the games which save data I lost. I was one battle to the end of God Eater and one battle to the end of Persona 3. Sighs.

Well, the person also stole some money from my wallet and a new pair of shorts that my friend was gonna pass me. I guess he or she really needed the cash.

I do hope to buy another red and black PSP in the future, but for now I'll just play with the borrowed black one (:

An Unexpected Kind of Happening.

Been thinking whether to switch back to blogger. Even though I've been using the wordpress interface for quite awhile, I'm still having problems uploading photos :/

The past few days have been kind of gloomy for me cause my aunt was admitted to hospital. Been visiting her nearly everyday. Can't understand why some relatives don't extend their help, instead they keep suggesting stuff to me and my family. I mean like, we're already doing as much as we can, why don't yall do it and help to instead of asking us to do more stuff. I'm not claiming to be the best helper but at least it won't hurt for the rest to offer some help, no?

I think I'll be back to blogging properly soon. I miss blogging weekly like I used to in my secondary school days. Also, I do feel that my English standard has dropped drastically, argh! I def need to write more, I don't want it to drop to the extent that I get nervous when I have to write for websites and stuff.

I don't think I'll be cosplaying for L2P or EOY. I was intending to finish up my Faith cosplay (from Mirror's Edge), but now I don't think I'll have the time. Oh well. Looking forward to the photoshoot for next year. I might pick up parkour formally as well so I can do more stuff for the photoshoots, not just for Faith but afew other nimble characters as well.

Games I've completed recently:

1. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attroney on iOS! I've always wanted to play the game but never got down to buying it. Bought it on my phone two weeks ago when I fell sick and couldn't sleep. Completed it and I'm hooked! I've always loved detective/mystery games so it ain't really surprising, been looking at the trailer for the new Professor Layton VS. Ace Attroney too and it really looks good!

I'm considering cosplaying one of the chars for a photoshoot next year (if I can find the time). Akane has already cosplayed Edgeworth and we can totally do a shoot together and I have some ideas so I hope to be able to pull my plan through.

2. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective also on iOS. This was also bought and completed when I was sick. I loved the ending! It's just so epic and unexpected! Actually, I did notice (the final character) being there in afew scenes, but I never expected that it was how the story would end! Yet another new favourite game, I do hope they'll create a sequel in the far future. I love the vector style art as well, it kinda reminds me of The World Ends With You.

That's all for now I guess. Needa complete my school work and prepare for tmr & friday's lessons.

Mello out!

Imagining; Reincarnation.

Fans who are really into the Persona games and franchise would probably have heard of the Youtube group called ATLUSXP5, a music group that is putting together a "fan-made album" and related art of what they predict Persona 5 would be like, if the game is ever made. An avid fan myself, I've been watching their videos increase over the months, half wondering when there would actually be news of a P5 game out, that is, until recently when the group released a trailer (or two, there's an English &  a Japanese ver) of the said "game / album".

Well, recently I've come across an article that kind of suspects that the group is in fact, Atlus themselves. I've sort of suspected that myself too, but wondered why no one has commented about that yet. Anyway, I highly agree with what the article says, being that "ATLUSXP5" have used Atlus' logo multiple times, and the fact that they have 70 videos in their Youtube without being banned or anything, hinting that it could actually be an official account with a possibility of Atlus not wanting to announce Persona 5 yet since the hype for Persona 4 is going up again due to the remake for PS Vita and also with Persona: The Mayonaka Area. The videos also contain the Altus' copyright sig with "2012" and the official PS3 logo, could the new Persona be made for the PS3? I believe it will be afew months before they make any announcement on Persona 5, if it even exists at all.

Meanwhile, do enjoy some music from the rumored "Persona 5 soundtrack".

Pika Pika Carnival!

Went to the Pika Pika Carnival at Isetan Scotts Level 4 today!
I chanced upon it when I was surfing the web to find out where to buy Happycall pots as a Mother's Day present for my mum. (they do sell the pots as well) Anyway, I read on their promo banner that they are giving away Pikachus for anyone who owns a Pokemon Black or White cartridge for the Nintendo DS and I definitely wanted one!

The Pika Pika Carnival is until 20th May, so you still have 8 days to get your Pikachus!

Even though event is held in a pretty small area, they still managed to pack 3 carnival games, a tv display and various Pokemon merchandizes in it.

The carnival game, Finish The Race with Pokemon, costs $5 a turn while the other two games cost $3 a turn. You can get your carnival credits at the payment booth.

The cute carnival tickets!

The carnival games~

left: Finish The Race with Pokemon game, played with an Xbox Kinect connected to a laptop.
Right: The famous Pikachu artwork that is at every Pokemon Center, along with the game that I played.

You are guaranteed a prize no matter which game you play, however, the scores you get in the game determines whether you receive the more valuable prize or the normal prize. I played Klink's Mini Game once and got the normal prize which is stickers of Snivy and Oshalott / ツタージャ & ミジュマル~ The other prize for that game is a Pokemon notebook.

Most importantly, I've received my Pikachu as well! Here's a video of me getting my Pikachu~ All you have to do is switch on your DS when you are there and select the "Receive Mystery Gift" option after you press start. Then connect to the WIFI in that area and you are ready to receive your Lvl 100 Pikachu! I've also noticed that each cartridge receives a different Pikachu as my awesome friend, Isa's Pikachu is of a jolly nature while mine has a relaxing nature and loves to eat.

Pokemerchandize for sale!

The merchandize on sale at the carnival include water tumblers, bento boxes and cutlery, bags, stationary, stickers, stamps, plushies and cards from the Pokemon Trading Card game. They have also brought in the Pokemon Battle Chess game at SGD$10. They have provided an english manual as well and from the tv display promo, it seems quite fun to play. Plushies on sale inclue Pikachu, Chikorita, Oshawott, Lugia, Tepig, Minccino, Scraggy, Emolga and more. All these items are usually only sold in Japan at the Pokemon Centers there and cannot be bought elsewhere, so if you want something, do get it now, or you'd need a plane ticket to Japan to get your hands on it!

I bought the set of Pokemon cookie cutters which consists of Pikachu & Oshawott / ミジュマル . Well, I intend to cut mini sandwhiches and pancakes as well so they arn't just for cookies =3 I also kind of really wanted to get the Pokemon stamps and the Battle Chess game, but didn't want to spend that much cash at one go.

They are also giving out free Pichu cardboard visors! At first it was kinda confusing trying to put them on, but then one of the guys told us that you are supposed to fold the flap up and then down to get the visor shape front without ripping it apart.

I do hope that the organizers do bring in more and bigger Pokemon events in the future. I really liked this event even though it was in a really tiny area and there isn't that much stuff compared to other Pokemon events overseas. They are doing surveys at the door so do help them fill it up and let them know that we want more!

PS. If anyone is interested to trade Pokemon on Pokemon Black / White, do check out my Pokemon Trading page.  ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

PPS. There are also hanging ads in the MRTs promoting this event, do grab one if you see it because it allows you to redeem a free Pokemon sticker. I saw people collecting their stickers, but unfortunately, I've not come across a train with one of them. If anyone has extras to spare I'd appreciate it if you'd pass one to me!

Ciao for now!
