Treffen mit Pandora - es macht viel Spaß!

I know I have to post this when I read Pandora's blog. Still in the Library peeps! Looks like the sun isn't setting yet - so I'm not leaving my seat too! XP

It was really an early meeting... 10 am at Bugis - and I know I have to be punctual, because Pandora isn't like most of my friends, who will always always always announced their arrival later than the promised time for 30-60 mins. [Gawd... That was bad English... Sorry sorry... It's freezing cold here, and I'm a little Japanese-orientated now, since I heard this loud conversation between this two Japanese guys in the bus just now] And come on, dear friends, be honest! :P

We went to the Kinokuniya at Bugis first - XXXHOLIC and Tsubasa is out! The D. Gray Man calendar is so attempting for both of us... Arrrgh... If only there was a sample there to drool at. Wasted, lol. Anyway, we did manage to find three (out of four) artbooks of Kinoshita Sakura-sensei! Banzai! Managed to browse through an already opened artbook (the Romeo and Juliet), and the pictures were goregous! Oh-so-preeeetty! The other two were The Comedy of Error and [I forgot the title :P]. Saw a Princess Tutu guidebook too - I have to mention this because it's actually almost IMPOSSIBLE to find any Princess Tutu related stuff here.

After lunch (milk shake = love) it was Liang Court next. Haha, Pandora was in K1 when he last went there. And still, it remained an isolated place after so many years. More surprises in the Liang Court Kino. Picked up an English-translated manga coz it was only three bucks... Only to realise at night that it has misprint in it (no wonder it was so cheap! Hmmph.) Pandora and I went into this Horoscope frenzy, and started reading all kinds of stuff on me. Lol! What fun it is to shop Kino with him! And meanwhile we found a "a-hem practical workbook" (ROFL on that description, Pandora! I'm not going to elaborate more on it already, so the secret's between you and me XDDDD) I almost bought it, but then some other distractions (you'll know later) made me return it back to the ~~wrong~~ rack. And it was really too inappropriate of me to purchase that in front of Pandora anyway.

And I didn't regret going to the Liang Court Kino, though it was always a trouble to get home from there. KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU KANTAROU *cough cough* I think now you know what distracted me now, lol! I (yes, it was me, the Empress!!! BUAHAHAHAHAA~~!!!!) stumbled upon the latest issue of Comic Masume (I hope that was the spelling. The comics magazine's not with me right now), and a OMG Kantarou pic was on the cover. I just froze on the spot, just like that, just right there. Speechless, I pointed it out to Pandora, and you know, I just love that split-second expression on his face. Completely shocked, I reckon! We fangirled/fanboyed over it, and then comes the dilemma of whether we should get it. Last two copies, dear, it's now or never. It's crazy, but we decided to get it. I guess the Kantarou pic on the cover is really too shiny... And thanks to my improving Katagana-reading skills, we made out the important keyword: "clear file holder". Whahaha! My Japanese is really improving! *feels proud for a moment* And Kantarou is sooooo shiny! I spazzed along as we continued our exploration of the Japanese section. I spazzed so much, I think Pandora must have been frightened... I'm sorry Pandora, but I was really high then... Sorry sorry... Coz every time I saw Pandora's copy of the comics magazine, I just went into high-pitch mood and shouted "Kantarou!" in Chinese over and over again. Yeah, I lost my mind. Kantarou's fault. *finds an excuse to poke him* *aah, pretty shiny hair* Pandora found a limited edition of the Japanese 6th volume of Tactics manga. Nya... I know he wanted to get it... The cover was different, and there's an additional multimedia CD thingy... But it was so ex! I wanted that too, but it was 44 bucks! Even after the discount, it was still something I would feel guilty since I spent so much on it... Bleh... I witness a reluntant Pandora putting the limited edition back onto the rack... *pat pat*

Two bus trips while heading for home - we laughed at the fact that I just snatched the Animage 2006 magazine off the rack without looking at the price, and then when I did look on the bus, exclaimed that it was so ex! Whahahaa... Silly me... But at least there's Edward and Roy, and plenty of Athrun. I'm already a happy girl... :P I also opened that Tactics comic magazine, to check out the "clear file holder". And at first sight I reacted "Oh, so it's really Haruka. But er... his chin was rather long, isn't it?" Wasn't really satisfied then. I then subconsciously turned the holder around and both Pandora and me went "WTF?!" And glee-ing and nyaaaaa-ing soon followed. What a gorgeous Kantarou pic! After spazzing, I told Pandora I'm definitely going to display that holder in my anime cupboard, which I did, of course. Easier done than said. ^^

It was home then, and we exchanged our pressies. Pandora's gifts (in pural! really!) were all overflowing with cuteness... Omg... Thank you Pandora! And you know what? The pineapple tarts were fabulous...! Very unique texture! Honestly, I love the FMA stuff the best! Hehehe... Oh, the two Japanese dolls were awfully adorable too! Thank you thank you thank you!

Okay, this post is toooo long. Go on, go hate me for this. Empress signs off. ;)
