life as an semi-otaku

Although I’m not a real otaku. I believe I share the same level of passion like them. There’s so many fun things to do out there for me. But so little time. *this is where I mention a pill that allows people to stay awake for days without sleep*

Anyways… 

Animes:
So much to watch, and with my new ADSL2 10Mbps line, I’m downloading new stuff faster than I can finish watching them. AH! I forgot I wanted to watch Sentou Yousei Yukikaze over the weekend!

For now, I’m currently crazy over plane mechas like the Macross Valkyries or the cool planes in Yukikaze.

Model kits:
Thanks to Macross Zero, I’ve been wanting to get hold of one of them planes. I was down at Sunshine Plaza last Saturday and found a VF-0S kit, imported from Japan going for $50SGD. But due to my lack of painting skills, I decided to hold back. I was hoping to find something nice and cheap to play around painting with.

There seems to be a certain Mr. Nakamoto who teaches air brush painting for just $50. Paint, accessories provided for the training. There are many positive comments about his service. I’ve asked for more details about him.

I don’t know if I want to purchase an airbrush kit because there’s no space left in my room for me to pick up this new hobby.  

Gaming:
The estimated price of PS3 was announced to members of Gamescore. $1399 for the 20GB model, $1599 for the 60GB model. This price is too crazy for me. Perhaps I’ll get the PS2 mini instead. Still pondering. Games I want to play on the PS2: FFX, FFX-2, FF12, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame. The reason I’m holding back is because of FFXI, I may end up leaving my PS2 untouched for months.

I want to play more of FFXI. Need more merits for my DRK and parrying skill ups for my PLD. But thanks to my unstable internet connection, I won’t be meritting for a while unless with friends and only doing assault, dynamis, sky, mission, limbus events with friends. A lot of time is spent here doing these.

PSP keeps me occupied during my trip to and from work, Playing Gyakuten Saiban 2 on NDS to relax before I sleep.

Oh, and FF3DS, US version, is coming soon in about 2 weeks! 

Movies:
I want to watch "Death Note" and "Sinking of Japan"! But… no time… orz

There’s also a few DVDs that I bought but haven’t watched. 

Photography:
Because of all you friends out there from all over the world that I’ve made through a Mass Multiplayer Online RPG, Final Fantasy 11, I’ve ben itching to get a digital camera and take pictures of sights around Singapore and show them to you guys. Places that aren’t tourist attractions, places that are not noticed by the general public.

But a good digicam is worth $800. About 400 plates of delicious yet simple chicken rice…

Also, I forsee myself leaving the camera unused for months. So I’m also holding back for a while. I lack photography skills too.

A lot of beautiful sights can never be captured on film. The atmosphere for example. A beautiful scene must be appreciated along with the atmosphere. (Am I making sense here?)

Room:
I need to tidy up my room. Books, papers, CDs all over the place. >_>

My major problem is dust. It seems that does accumulates very fast in my room. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to reduce dust accumulation? 

Conclusion:
I may apply for a few days off work next week to catch up on all the things I want to do. Whether or not they benefit me for the future, I just want to have fun while I’m still young. You never know when you’re gonna die!

As I write today’s entry, I’ve decided to go get the Macross VF-0S plane first before someone else gets it. When I saw that box, it was the only 1 left on the shelf!
