Walks of solace

Posted September 16th, 2008 by minicloud

I’m taking my occasional walks through the park to get home, a habit which I only cultivated when I was still in school. I only do this when the weather is good and when it hasn’t gotten dark yet.

It’s a route familiar yet I have no memories made here.

But yet, when I’m taking my walks, a multitude of thoughts form and before I can pen them down, I would have already gotten home, and I would resume my usual activites.

These walks of solace.

Arielle’s debut

Posted September 10th, 2008 by minicloud

Okay, my main reason for going to Tokyo this time is to get a new doll.

I think nothing beats walking into Volk’s 天使の窠 to buy your own doll (except of course, the ceremony at 天使の里).

So anyway, that’s what I did.

I went to Shinjuku’s sumika and the staff there seemed pretty accustomed to gaijins.
I promptly asked for a くん(Kun) and she just dragged one out from those huge ass cupboard. There was only one left (I think). But then again, I don’t think it’s like everyday you get someone going into the store to ask for a 50000yen~infinity-yen doll.

So I lugged a hugeass box back to my hotel first before going to the other sumikas.
But this post is about my own box-opening ceremony.

I present to you, Arielle.


WHOOO PAPERBAG~!!!


WHOOO BOX~!!!!


STUFF~!!!


Leaflet and wig (which i hate)


Okay folks, that’s ALL that’s in the box. I paid good money for kampfy pillows~!! :D


Bad and lame joke.

Moving on…

we has a nekkid doll.


FACE~!!


And I found the chair I wanted for her too~!!


And today the sisters reunite. Arianne and Arielle.

I can’t wait to send Arielle for modding and new faceup. Volks has terrible default faceups.

I can has stalker. Literally

Posted September 10th, 2008 by minicloud

I usually think stalkers these days would limit themselves to bugging you online.

I was wrong.

I’ll relate an incident when I was in Akihabara 2 days ago. I needed to go to a few 天使の窠 (Tenshi no sumika) that day to look for my dolls stuff. Akihabara has a sumika there, so I dropped by for a look.
We wll know that Akiba is famous for their electronics and is the hub of Otakus around the world. There are also a couple of sex stores there and some maid cafes. I hope you know what I’m getting to.

Although the hint of sex! and sleaziness! is not as strong as let’s say, Kabukicho or certain parts of Roppongi but you can still say there is still quite a gathering of testosterone there.
So i was innocently browsing at a toy store when I noticed this guy tailing me. I shrugged it off and thought maybe he was just interested at the stuff I was interested in.

I turned a corner, he turned a corner too.
I walked out the store, he walked out too.
I stopped and looked at something, he stopped too.
I walked fast, he did the same thing too.

My worst fears were confirmed. In my heart I was scared cause whatever scare tactics I would’ve used back home would probably not work cause:

1) bugger wouldn’t understand wtf I’m saying.
2) He’s probably done this a couple of times.
3) Stalkers back in SG are basically harmless cos let’s face it, they dun have much balls.

And all the while I’m furiously sms-ing my Monkey.
I stopped at the roadside to continue sms-ing when I saw him stop at the crossing about 1.5m away from me. Between us was a lamppost. I even saw him peep to check that i was still there.

I think I freaked out a little. Maybe he’s high on that look on my face. D:

Anyway, I waited for him to look away before I sprinted across a 6-lane road to safety. Luckily I didn’t have much things with me and I was wearing sensible footwear.
I don’t think he could’ve outrun me, thank god I was in the track and field team, I still has it. ;_;

I ran straight to the subway station and got outta there~!!

NEVER GOING TO AKIHABARA ALONE AGAIN~!!!! (屮゚Д゚)屮

A sudden realisation

Posted September 8th, 2008 by minicloud

I happily clicked on the Statpress that Bin innocently installed for my blog (it’s fucking 7am in Tokyo, don’t ask me why I’m awake.)

And I’m looking at all the incoming links. (aside from chatting with s. and felipatapon )

like Holy Sh*t~!! How did these people find me??? (屮゚Д゚)屮

But despite all that, I’m glad my blog was in one way or another entertaining for you. :)
Thanks everyone.

iPhone 3G Review : Longggggg overdue.

Posted September 2nd, 2008 by minicloud

Here’s my iPhone 3G review that is WAYYYYYYYYY overdue.

Despite being an Apple fangirl, there are some design issues and kinks that I thought Apple should have ironed out after the release of iPhone before releasing the iPhone 3G.

Sure there are improvements made like the new GPS system and so on. I gather that in order to put in more of the basic stuff would mean more sleepless nights for the programmers.
Here’s a rundown of what I -feel- that iPhone 3G lacks:

  • The ability to MMS: sure alot of us already know that, Apple argues that you can now email your photos. Since they say email >>> MMS, who the hell argues with that now?
  • Bluetooth: Please tell me, WTF is the bluetooth for if I can’t Bluetooth my images/songs etc etc to another phone/computer? oh wait… it is -only- used for freaking bluetooth devicessss…i seee~ still, it doesn’t fully maximises the potential of Bluetooth.
  • Ringtones: it annoys the hell out of me knowing that my ringtones and sms tones are -only- limited to the ones that are preset in my iPhone 3G. I can’t use mp3 ringtones at all. Only reason I can think of is to facilitate ringtone sales in iTunes and this sucks.
  • SMS issues: You can’t forward sms to someone else. which is kinda sucky.
  • Camera: only 2mp. blah blah blah… you know, stuff people has already complained about. No flash, no zoom, no way i can bluetooth or mms it…. most importantly, NO VIDEO. I think with your default App of YouTube, there shld’ve been some way you could upload videos into Youtube, but then again, no video mode in iPhone makes the camera more wtf than it already is.
  • Battery life: I don’t know if anyone else has this problem too. Maybe I fiddle with it too much, I mean it is pure Apple goodness, but it seems as though the batter runs out prettttty fast for a mobile phone.

Now onto the good bits which I feel should be mentioned.

  • Internet capabilities: I feel the iPhone harnesses the power of internet well, sure there are some kinks which include the inability to load flash but hey, it IS a phone and not a computer.
  • SMS: despite not being able to forward smses, I tried typing in a URL in my sms and sending it to a friend just minutes ago. The link turned out to be active, meaning she could just tap on it and access the link right on her Safari. awesome yes? The fact that smses look like IM conversations, it’s so easy to continue a conversation without having to think where the conversation stopped. Someone shld’ve thought of this long ago.
  • iPhone Apps: I love Apps~!! There are just so many of them. It makes the Internet harder to live without. I find that i update my Twitter more and now that i have Wordpress on my iPhone too, I think you can be sure to find even more random blog posts from me. There’s limitless potentials in this, as long as someone comes up with an App that is useful and provides more function to the iPhone, it makes the iPhone more useful too.
  • Games: To be very honest, I don’t like playing games on phones. I have my own handheld consoles (both DSlite and PSP) but the tilt sensors in the iPhone makes iPhone games unique in their own right.
  • Email: I can open files like images, PDF, Excel, Word in my Email. They are downloaded into the iPhone so you don’t have to worry about not having internet access to access the files you want again. Emails like Livejournal comment notifications also point directly to Safari when you want to reply it which is the same as when you try and access it through your laptop or desktops.

So yeah, that’s my review on the iPhone. I hope you find it useful in your decision to purchase one.
