Ryomou Shimei photoshoot

Some of your readers might know, I was in Melbourne, Australia from 31st March to 15th April. Known for it’s clear blue sky and nice sunlight, I took good use of that opportunity to do some photoshoots of figures that belongs to a friend of mine. ^___^

Introducing Ryomou Shimei from Ikkitousen!

She packs a pair of fighting gloves, an eyepatch, and crazy fighting abilities that’s able to beat you up into plup in one-tenth of a second (J/K).

While doing the shoot, I found that Ryomou is really cute when viewed from different points. It’s really hard to imagine she’s a ‘fighting machine’. I really like the uniform for this figurine; Simple and neat. That red distintive ribbon stands out well too!

And also, instead of the standard school shoes seen on many school uniformed figurines, Ryomou wears what seems like a pair of really cool boots. I believe it’s used to execute very lethal attacks at her enemies, especially the jingle-o-bells of the males. Ouch!

Ryomou also wears a very short skirt, which improves her moving speed by 263% and yet in the meanwhile, revealing her very nice legs and a serious dose of nosebleed for Ryomou fans :p

Fallen enemies get a slight glance of her pantsu before getting slammed in the face.

\Photography Notes/

Doing a photoshoot in Melbourne, Australia is totally different from one back in Singapore. Back at home, people walk pass and usually just mind their own business (Though in their minds, I bet they are thinking what’s this person doing, taking pictures of a figure XD). Over in Melbourne, people are friendlier and step up and ask  on how’re you doing and stuff.

The location I have chose is actually St. Nicholas’s Place on Rathdowne Street, just on the left of my sister’s place. It has a real nice school building kind-of-feeling and really beautiful architecture.

And that’s seorang inspecting his figurine. He was taking a real hard look next the skirt region :p

Shit Happens

I do have to apologize for the lack of post for the past week.

I was away for a class chalet for 3 days. During that 3 days however, my main HDD (A 40GB Maxtor wIth OS installed) decided it was time to hibernate forever (layman terms: die). Also, my BENQ LCD monitor has also reached it’s end of life. It starts displaying a whole patch of white. I have another BENQ monitor which also has the same problem. So BENQ, you have just lost a customer :)

I’m currently using the HDD from my dad’s pc, which has XP installed, as a temporary platform to access the rest of the HDDs and stuff. I’ll also have to purchase a new HDD for my OS, preferbly 40 – 80GB HDD, and a another 250GB to replace my current Western Digital HDD which seems to be dying soon (weird disk patter reading noise).

Why a HDD of such a small size you may ask? It is as if the main HDD dies (I hope not in the near 5-6 years) again, I’ll only lose the OS. Why not do partitions, as some of the teck geeks would suggest? Read the previous answer.

The air-conditioning technicans will be coming over tomorrow morning to replace the current 10 years old (or ever older) Sanyo air conditioner :) The reason why we didn’t want to replace earlier was as it was still functioning properly, except for the leaking of water) and that it’s ‘Made in Japan’ (which means high quality). Most air conditioners now are either made in China or some other wayward country, which means that the quality wouldn’t be that great.

So, to sum up, here’s what needs to be repaired/replaced

Items

2 BENQ LCD Moniters Expensive
1 40GB 3″5 HDD Expensive
1 250GB 3″5 HDD Expensive
————————————————————————–
Total: A very large hole in the pocket

Oh, and the current state of my workdesk

1 LCD monitor behind the CRT, the other is in between the red bucket and plant in the pot.

The HDD that you see on the bottom left is from my dad’s pc (partly hidden under the table on the right).

Purple-ish cloth on the floor is my specs cleaning cloth.

And, shit happens.

It’s Friday the 13th as well :/

Nozomi V3: Moe News Blurbs

And I’m proud to present a new addition to Nozomi V3 – Windbell’s Featured News blurbs.

The news blurbs allows me to post smaller articles that do not fit into main articles as they are either too short or I do not have enough content to write for it. Inspired from Danny’s own news blurbs, I’ll be able to now post more articles on this blog :)
