This is probably the first time I am having problems coming up with a title for my post. Though my usual titles aren’t that great either. I can’t find a flow with today’s post as it stretches from Dakimura to Code Geass to Manga. So, I think I shall start with the Dakimura part and work my way downwards.

Yeah right Dakimura
I should have guessed that it was a sheet! 2 metres by 1.4 metres? I would probably never ever be able to see a dakimura of this size. But then, the caption on the magazine was rather misleading too, they had mentioned hug, but I did not read the sheet (I mean, who would expect anything les than a dakimura if you mentioned hug?) and so, I got lured into buying this magazine which will probably be stashed away somewhere until years later, when I finally find time to actually read it.

Kiss? Hug? Touch?
Kissing a notepad is so wrong. I mean, you have got to be someone mental to be kissing your notepad, even if there are two 2D girls printed there.
Hug? Well, if it was a dakimura there’s nothing wrong in hugging it, just like how you would hug your pillow or bolster at night even if its a 2(or rather 3)D girl printed on it.
Touch… Hm… Touching your mousepad affectionately seems stupid. I used to have dozens of mousepads at home and I use them as normal, So if I ever use the teeny weeny DC II mousepad, I wouldn’t fondle with it as much as I would with my dakimura.

There is even a Nanaka sheet instruction guide

I just got my dakimura on Wednesday YAY
It was thanks to me and my big mouth. I had purchased the DC II Dengeki G’s magazine at KKnM and was just about to leave when I suddenly blurt out to ask whether they knew where to get a dakimura in Singapore. After months of asking previously, I had already given up hope but to my surprise, they said that if I was looking for a normal dakimura, it actually is available. My heart had stopped then and there, but its beating normally right now.
Anyway, the guys at KKnM had kindly given me instructions on where to get the dakimura. My English was so poor that I couldn’t understand what they were saying but fortunately Glen was around and he lead me to find it. \(^_^)/

Gashapon figurines which I had acquired at KKnM
This is the 6th series already, I wonder if it will end anytime soon. Notice that all of them are looking away? What a bunch of arrogant cats. Nyaa~

Just bought a couple of manga
Its only A couple. Though they say that two is a couple and three is a crowd. For the last time, in all honesty this time, my money is depleting to nil and there probably will be a time when I shall stop talking about manga as I run out of money to buy them.
Most people would probably think that I am dumb, for buying these manga when I can read it online, which I do. However, in my opinion, I prefer to have the feeling of touching the books and smelling them as I read. I also support original works though these manga are not so original, not with them being translated from Japanese into Chinese and certain “obscene” scenes filled with mysterious clouds of wisps or blank out.

Here is another couple of manga which I got today
I hadn’t planned on this. My plans for today was to go to Suntec Convention Centre and see whats on sale for the PC fair but upon arrival, the sea of people killed my enthusiasm and squeezing through clumps of people was not exactly fun. Though I probably won’t complain if I am at comiket. So after, finally having a good look around, luckily I was able to peer over the heads of the other people, I left and walked with Glen to Bugis. In which I went to Kinokuniya and bought these books. One reason for my spending spree was perhaps due to the fact that Kinokuniya is having a 20% island-wide,store-wide sale for this month, stretching slightly into the next. The discount given made me feel as if I had gotten 2 books for free ^^

Now on to Code Geass~
Firstly, I know that a lot of people are probably talking about Code Geass and that today is already Saturday and the next episode will be out in 2 days time (subbed) but I just felt like writing a little about it today.
Secondly, how on Earth do you make a checkmate like that? Unless white was announcing his own checkmate which I doubted so. If white could have said check, it would be much less of a confusion for me.

You got that right

My collection of chess books, well at least half of it
I used to play Chess, for the past 6 years or so. Chess was a part of my life just as anime is now but for chess, I would be reading books after books and playing out the moves. Collecting chess books was also a hobby of mine and watching Code Geass really made me feel like engaging myself in chess once again.

The pawn could take the king, and that would be a first
In any case I think thats it for this week’s post. Actually, I had fallen asleep while typing this post and fortunately there was a saved copy so I didn’t have to retype everything, which I will probably be cursing and swearing the whole way, if I did. Now back to finishing up my holidays assignment as school shall resume next week. T_T
