Silent Night

Photobucket

Trying to take a photo of the night view from my balcony. Unfortunately my mobile phone is not capable for decent night vision.

This is the 1st time I live so high away from ground and with a big floor-to-ceiling window. Maybe 8th floor is not really that 'tall' but it's surely something new for me. Certainly 8th floor is no way tall enough for a city landscape view. But just gazing at the night make me claim.

Alone in house may be lonely at times, but the silence is very comfortable too. Especially in front of the night. In hours, my housemates are coming to join me in this apartment. Farewell my lonely yet silent life. I'll definitely miss you sometimes...

Nendoroid: K-ON (Yui & Mio)

Photobucket

Glad that I actually able to obtain this 2 nendoroids as they are extremely popular which out of stock within a week of release in Japan. Got them in not other but Tamarket.com where I got Haruhi and Light last year. I did search the website when Mio and Yui released but no result... So I thought they weren't manage to order as well. But actually they do have stocks but named them "nendroid" instead of "nendoroid". Luckily I somehow found out last week while browsing the internet. thank to google!

No.82 Mio

Photobucket
No.86 Yui

Unboxing: Both comes with great numbers of arms and legs to perform 5 or 6 poses compare to standard 3 official poses. Nendoroid series surely always evolving.

Round ears for Yui, Sharp ears for Mio

I praised my last nendoroid Saber Lily for her finally perfected display stand. This time they use the same ball jointed stand as well but not as stable as Saber Lily's. And instead of traditional circle plate, they make (I think) cat's ear shape as the base of the stand, which I don't know the reason because K-ON have nothing to do with cats...

Nendoriod moment - Head swapping!

These two nendoroids have so far the best spare parts sharing among my collections due to identical joint and costume, which makes them really fun to play with.

Photobucket

Too bad... The 1st defect I found on a nendoriod. The paint went off boundary on Mio's right arm that holding the bass, which is quite obvious.

Photobucket

Overall, I found Yui is much more adorable than Mio. Cuter expressions and poses, maybe because Yui personality for being fluffy while Mio is more serious and mature.

Here's 9 nendoroids I bought over a year. This bookshelf does really suitable to display them. Guess I'll just leave my textbooks in box. XD

New Apartment.

Photobucket

It was a hard month. Home alone, house in mess and no internet connection.

The first time I stepped in this new apartment, it's 5a.m. in the morning and in dark. Hong Hong told me to stay in airport until sun rises because there's no electricity in our apartment yet, but I just couldn't stay in airport any longer after sitting half sleep there for 5 hours. The apartment was darker than I expected. Luckily I've always bring along a torchlight which allowed me look for a place in the mess to rest myself. Opened up windows, I lied on the sofa and eventually fall sleep. That's my 1st day here...

It's really suck when you are alone in house and furthermore without internet. Here I have to give a very big credit to beloved Sony who decided to drop his PS3 price on a right timing which save me from infinite boredom. Haha... It's suck without internet, but it's fantastic with PS3! I'm really glad that I bought a PS3... XD

At first I was worried that here will be less convenient as it's a bit far from city center. But I was so wrong... This location is wonderful! Having tram station right in front with Melbourne City Circle that provide free transportation to city center every 10 minutes. Coles supermarket also just located only 100m away. How do I put it... As expected from Hong Hong who rent this place..

I'm glad that everything is fine, at least for now and with internet established. The rest I'll just wait until both my reliable housemates to come back. Let's have fun here!

**Apology for random Genie photo spam as header. XD It's a replacement because I can't transfer photos from my mobile. Want to change a new mobile asap!
