Moms Turns Into Schoolgirl

May 11, 2008

This is something for Mother’s Day~^^

From the same TV program who brought you the previous “Crossdressing Schoolboys”, now it’s their Mom’s turn to get the spotlight (Well, not really ^^; )

Anyway, this time, the theme is to turn your Mom to a student. Basically this is a constest to see which Mom will look like a schoolgirl the most, eventhough they already have children and is over 40 years old ^^ I have to tell you, some are just pure amazing ^^

There are 6 participants, and my favourite is the 2nd Mom. She’s pretty!! d( > _ < )b

You can view the video below:

It’s a Trap!! Part Deux

May 6, 2008

A little bit different than the previous one this time ^^; Another interesting and funny show from Japan ^^

This time they bring 3 transexuals straight from Thailand (Blue), and 3 chosen Japanese actors/comedian (Red) will try and compete against them. There will be 3 rounds, 3 vs 3, and 7 People will judge who, out of the 2 from each round, is the cutest/prettiest.

Just for the info, those 3 guests from Thailand are the winner from some Beauty pageant. So basically they are what you call the best :p You can view the clip below:

Esplanade At Night

May 5, 2008

So, I went to Esplanade the other day to take some photos, as part of my Digital Photography Class “Night Photo” assignment. This is also a chance where I can fully use my new tripod ^^;

I have to say, it’s a great experience for me, since it’s my first time doing this kind of stuff ^^

It’s a Trap!!

May 1, 2008

So I just watched this one clip episode of Japanese TV program called “Girl’s Paradise”. The purpose of the program…is to dress a male as a female ( > _ < );

Basically what they did is they chose selected High Schooler boys and dress them as a girl, and see which one is the prettiest and the cutest. This is the latest episode which was aired few days ago, a total of 6 participants. You can view them below. A word of warning…They are all boys!!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

I know they are all guys…but the level is just too high!! The last one is just…I don’t know what to say…you just have to see it yourself!! ( > _ < )!!

Otaku World

April 27, 2008

If you are new to the Otaku world, there are actually variety of “Otaku” and they are divided into different categories, according to their interest. Such as Figure Otaku, Game Otaku, Idol Otaku, Seiyuu Otaku, Doll Otaku, Anime Otaku, etc.

I just found this interesting video clip or documentary on Otakus on Youtube ^^ Basically we get to see a closer look on what these certain Otakus did on their free time, and even a visit to their house ^^

You can view them below:

Figure Otaku

Comment: Amazing room ^^;

Idol (Gravure) Otaku

Comment: Looks like a tiring hobby ( > _ < );

Seiyuu Otaku

Comment: This one is rather special, because he gets to go on a “date” with his favourite seiyuu, which is Shimizu Ai ^^;

There are more, but this should be enough ^^; I’ll post more in the future, enjoy!! ( ^ _ ^ )/

Gundam Star 00

April 20, 2008

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 & Lucky Star cross over ^^ The video consist of various fanmade clip of 00 and Lucky Star episode. Really funny~XD You can view the video below:

What if…

April 18, 2008

…this happens to you? You thought that you have everything perfected with no mistakes, and something unexpected (I mean it!!) happens like the clip below ( > _ < );;

I would probably…”kill” myself~XD Life can be cruel sometimes :p

Photoshoot Set Up Adjustment

April 12, 2008

You can view the previous attempt here

So today I went to IKEA to get myself an additional lamp for the overhead lightening. Got myself a cheap desk lamp for S$12.00 ^^ Tried the new set up, and found out that my new IKEA lamp is much more brighter than my other one. So I had to switch them around; New lamp as the main one and the previous “main” lamp for the overhead lightening. Below is how it looks like with the new set up:

kosmos

Used my “KOS-MOS Ver. 4” as test model again and with the same background, etc, and the results:

Before:

kosmos

After (New Settings):

Testing With different background:

kosmos

I have to say there’s quite an improvement compared to the previous setting ^^ One thing that I found out and learned is that background colour/texture does affects the overall outcome. So you can’t really use random background when taking photos. Each figurines needs a suitable background colour for them to get the best outcome ^^

I just need to adjust the position of the lamp a bit, and it should come alright next time \( > _ < )/

Shokotan Goes Bruce Lee!! Waataa!!

April 12, 2008

Saw this the other day on Youtube~XD It’s a clip from a show (I think), featuring Nakagawa Shouko, also known as Shokotan, doing a skit where she stars as a Female-like Bruce Lee ^^; If you didn’t know, Shokotan is a big fan of Bruce Lee and also one big Otaku :p You can watch the clip below:

I have to say, she can really use the Nunchakus pretty well ( + _ + );

New Photoshoot Lightening Set Up

April 10, 2008

This is just a look on the new lightening set up I’m planning to use for my future reviews.

New set up:

new

– A desk lamp
– Custom made “Diffuser” (Cardbox + Tracing Paper)
– A Reflector (A piece of white board)

Results:

kosmos

kosmos 2

I went to Artfriend today to get the materials. Bought the tracing paper and some new thick colour papers for the background. Using my “KOS-MOS Ver.4” for test model, I think the result came much better than I expected ^^ Although a second light source from the top would be nice and makes it much better. I tried using my room light, and the result didn’t come right. I guess I’ll go and check out IKEA for some cheap lamp ^^;

I’ve checked lots of website/blogs, for some advice on the lightening. In particular, I just want to thank Super Rats for the awesome (and cheap) tutorial on this ^^

This coming “Fauna 1/8 Scale” reviews will be using the new set up. Look forward to it ( ^ _ ^ )/

Ah forgot to add. All photos taken using SLR Nikon D40 ^^;

Another Celebration

April 10, 2008

I woke up this morning, and found out that my blog exceeded 10,000 hits ( > _ < )v Well to tell the truth I didn’t expect to reach 5 digits this soon ( > o < )/ It might not be something spectacular for some of you, but after just a little over 3 months time, this really a new milestone for me, and it all thanks to you guys!! ^^

I just want to thank for all the supports and for those who took their time to visit my blog all this time, even if it’s just by accident or coincidence ~m( _  _ )m~

This just gave me more motivation to keep improving my blog and make it better ^^

To celebrate, here’s a song which I just got recently. It’s the OP song of the PC game by Nitro+ called “Kishin Hishou Demonbane”, titled “Rise On Green Wings” sang by Itou Kanako of Ethereal Echo ^^

Kids Prodigy

March 31, 2008

This one is actually pretty old. Saw this on Youtube the other day and was amazed with what these kids can do. This “Kids Band” consist of four kids with the eldest 10 years old, and 5 years old the youngest. Ironically, the youngest one is the drummer :p, and he can really kick some butt~XD Watch him do some solo play~XD The band called is “Ruri-Chan’s Band”. You can view the video below:

All I can say is…Superb!! ( ^ o ^ )/

Let’s Airjoy!!

March 26, 2008

I’ve seen lots of “Air Band”, and this is probably one of the funniest I’ve seen ^^ This time it features one of my favourite song by Queen, “Don’t Stop Me Now”.

The video is done by a group of high school baseball club members, consisting of 4 people ^^; I’ll tell you these guys are geniuses~ XD The video was shown in a Japanese TV program.

Anyway, you can enjoy the video below:

Maybe I can gather my friends to do this~ XD

Kyon no Yutsuu

March 24, 2008

So, what happened when the cast of “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu” switched gender with each other (The male cast as female, and vice versa)? You’ll get yourself a new series called “Kyon no Yutsuu”!! ^^

Anyway, just saw this video on Haruhi dance this morning on Youtube, and it’s not your typical dance video ^^ You’ll just have to see it yourself ^^ Looks like it’s the same maker as the “Lucky Haruhi” video, and of course, it’s still incomplete ^^;

Oh, that’s Kyon and Koizumi btw ( ^ _ ^ );
