December batch 1

Went to KLCC today to get my mangas that arrived the other day despite that final book have not arrived yet. I guess I’ll just stack it together with another 2 mangas for the second trip later this month.

Here are the stuff I got today:

Mangas and postcards

Things I knew I was going to get: Omamori Himari vol 4, Puchi Hound vol 4

Things I didn’t saw coming: Full Moon Joker, Le.Gardenie Party of Three, Helios Eclipse Quintet.

That is especially so for Helio Eclipse, since they mentioned within the previous volume that the next upcoming volume should be out somewhere during 2009. So it was kind of a surprise to see it on the shelves today. I never knew when the next installation of the Le.Gardenie series would be released though. This one was another surprise. But now that I think about it, the last one was indeed very long ago so I supposed it wouldn’t be too weird that the next volume should be out around now. As for Full Moon Joker, well, it was another impulsive purchase, yeah. >_<

Then I also got some free postcards by the publisher company of Le.Gardenie and Helio Eclipse, probably for buying multiple of their publishes.

Of all, Omamori Himari vol 4 is the most tempting one in the bunch… despite that I have not read vol 3 yet >__> I won’t be reading it yet of course, I hate spoilers.

Oh, speaking of Omamori Himari vol 3; my friend who helped me get hold of a copy of it will be returning this coming Sunday so I should be able to read it within a weeks time, most likely next Tuesday.

Money oh money

My father suddenly suggested that we attend this home renovation convention held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre yesterday and since no one else had a better idea, it was decided that we do just that.

Well, since Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and Kuala Lumpur City Centre (I always just abbreviate it KLCC but I can’t do that in this post for obvious reasons) are just right next to each other, I figured I could hang out there while everyone else attends that convention. Home and renovations are still things that are too far ahead in the future to be any relevant to me, unless I’m into interior design, which I by the way am not, so yeah.

Went around the usual places and got home with Roman vol 1.

I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with the music band Sound Horizon, they make opera-esque music often accompanied by orchestra and metal scores. They are known for their story narrative lyrics, with each song making up one story and the album with each track connecting up into a whole chronicle.

Roman is based on Sound Horizon’s 5th album of the same name.

Oh, and here are some of the things I currently want, when are they expected to appear on the market/when I might get them, and how much would they approximately cost me:

1. Puchi Hound vol 4: already on sale (RM30±)
2. Lotte no Omocha vol 2: 27th November (RM30±)
3. Arnval Trance or Strarf bis or Asuka or Valona: 4th December (RM120-160±)
4. Fort Brag or Zelnogrard: already on sale (RM60±)
5. Tsugumomo vol 2: early or mid 2009 (RM32±)
6. Omamori Himari vol 3: any time now (RM31±)
7. Omamori Himari vol 4: mid December, early 2009 or ??? (RM31±)
8. Eternal Sonata or Valkyria Chronicles: might or might not be getting, dunno when (RM230±)

I have only a little over RM100 with me right now… heh… heheheh… sigh…

I just got informed that one of the book I ordered got detained by the customs for “questionable content”. It also happened to be my most anticipated book among my batch of orders this time.

Things had been bad for my family so far this year and I don’t know if it’s just me but it does seem like the carnage has been seeping into my life too these past two months; things not going as planned, action backfires, good will gets flamed in return, etc. My desire to leave this place is at its peak right now after this disaster.

Seriously, that was one month waited for nothing. Gah, now I really have to visit Japan soon. That or I’ll just ask that certain guy to get it for me. Either way still means I won’t be reading that series anytime soon, aaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhh orz

Another retrieval

Went to collect my stuff from Kinokuniya today.
Got these:

Haven’t read any of them yet though, will do tonight. Have some sketches and researches to do @__@

Nothing much else interesting to mention about today aside from the trip to Kinokuniya.
