YUE website revamped! Some attained & wanted BOOKS.

Our doujin group YUE's website has a new layout!

And that's about it. I'd even forgot to put up a section to introduce Fabius, our MASCOT which's frequently ignored by us unintentionally...;; But what we're most concerned about is: After 2 years, could we finally produce YUE #7 this year??? .............. Stay tuned, folks! XD

Had an outing at Times Square & KLCC with the Animasia folks last Sunday (miss you Lynling~!) *3* Finally got a chance to visit Kinokuniya! Also finally got rem's Vampire Kisses manga, and also unexpectedly, I found what I have always been looking for:
Dictionary of Classical Mythology!

I've always wanted a dictionary or encyclopedia of this subject but usually the ones I found are expensive. This book was cheap since it wasn't a high quality print, but what matters most to me is the amount of entries & descriptions. There was another huge & THICK dictionary that costs only RM106.xx (hard cover too)! That really seems comprehensive to me *sparkling eyes* but my budget was tight & I don't wanna carry a huge book all the way back by LRT.

ANOTHER BOOK I WANTED WAS...
the latest Gackt photobook, 龍の化身

I assume it would be a Fuurin Kazan themed photobook? If it is, I 120% WANT IT! It looks gorgeous from the cover and some small thumbnails surrounding the book. And it's THICK (160 pages) with hard cover if I'm not mistaken. I don't usually invest money on photobooks *only owns 1 Gackt photobook & none other* but judging from the few small previews I've seen, the 'photography style' (orwhateveryoucallit) looks beautiful *_* OYE, it's GACKT. OF COURSE HE'S BEAUTIFUL!! *smiling widely by herself* Especially if it's Fuurin Kazan themed, then it would be worth it (from a Gackt's fan POV) >w<

Should I get it from Amazon.. SHOULD I??? *___* Since I'm planning to get Kazuma Kaneko Works III soon as well. Scans of it can be found at BeYourTrueMind.
I'm contemplating. Whether should I cancel my Vergil ARTFX preorder for these 2 books. It's bad to get obsessed with stuff ;__;

Room cleaning + new toy.

Moved some book shelves around in my room, some cleaning, some thrashing, and most important of all, moved my desk nearer to my bed and also the ceiling fan, so hopefully me & [LUFFY] (my ol' 3kg Fujitsu laptop) could have a cooler environment whenever we're spending time together in my stuffy room x_X; Parents did a huge favor for me as well; speeding my process of moving things *LOVES* I'm such a tortoise...! TwT;

Gonna continue my room activity tomorrow, 'cos I'm tired, lazy & hungry.. OTL *is actually lazy...*

Another recent addition into our entertainment family is................

Yesterday eldest bro just decided to come home with it after his work. It's fat, big, a little heavy and white (pretty!!) The only game we have now is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition), which bro wanted to play.

DEVIL MAY CRY 4~!!!!! I'M SO GONNA GET YOU SOON!!!!! >8DDD

One day I finally caught a pic of this bird outside my window...

Occasionally (sometimes morning, sometimes noon), this fella comes & start pecking at its own reflection outside of my window for a few minutes, at the same area. I have no idea why... This has been happening for a long time, so I don't know whether if it's the same bird actually ^^;

Gonna be starting my new job at a local new comic company this upcoming Monday. AGH

Meet Franky! + some photos

Meet mah new love~! \\(^o^)//

Got my PSP about 2 weeks ago, despite it being white, I named it "Franky" *does a Franky pose!* AuU--!! Need to find a blue star sticker to go with it now >8D

Since I have no new art or sketch to post. I'll post some old random photos... whether anyone like it or not...

Julie, my tubby dachshund~ <3

Bei-Bei, bro no.1 & gf's miniature poodle. Very friendly & playful of course. She has grown slightly bigger by now though.

My sleep work desk taken few months ago.

More new artbooks!

Went down KL for a Japanese buffet lunch with colleagues & ex-colleagues at Saisaki er.. I forgot @_@; I only managed to go 2 rounds.. *shame & FEELING VERY POOR* OTL The food, lotsa variety, but not really to my liking - the fried ones were a little soft.. though I didn't get to try the rest of the food there anyway... *POOR*...
It's also been awhile since I took LRT -> Monorail around KL. It's.... something I'd only willing to do once in a blue moon (crowded, hot & stickiness, tired, long journey) +_+

We head to TimeSquare after lunch, visiting every figurine shop we could find. Eventually I ended up getting these 4 (notoriginal) artbooks from Animetech ^^;
From left-right:
(1) DeathNote/Obata Takeshi Illustrations
(2) Shen Shen Chuan Shuo A (???)
(3) Shen Shen Chuan Shuo B (???)
(4) Fabrica Theologiae - Trinity Blood Artbook

And so I became even poorerER. But it's a good bargain considering it's less than RM200 for these FOUR ARTBOOKS; which 2 of it I've been longing to own but couldn't afford the original price =w=


The 2 books of Shen Shen Chuan Shuo (I dunno its meaning, don't ask!) were highly unexpected though; it's all very much thanks to Lynling for pointing to me the artbook corner (if she hadn't tell me, I wouldn't have found these 4 yummy books!!) T__T <3 Shen Shen Chuan Shuo are illustrative books of the Saints from Saint Seiya, which includes the Bronze, God Warriors, Olympian Gods, Hades' Specters, & MORE). It could be fan-made(?) but it's just too breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL *__* <3<3<3 Apollo's would be my most favourite~ *gasp* >o<

And so, it's WORTH ALL THAT TROUBLE LUGGING THESE 4 HEAVY THICK-COVER BOOKS AROUND TIMESQUARE & ALL THE WAAAAAY BACK MYSELF..!!! #__# 'Cos.. sigh, I wasn't offered any 'manly help' from the guys AT ALL (except 1 who eventually left early) ... Sad =A=; Guys these days... Oye Oye~

Layout switch. New artbooks, Luffy figs.

Switched layout to one of blogger's for a change.
My Amazon.jp orders arrived at my office yesterday (Thursday)! Thanks to Lynling for receiving it for me since I went out for a long lunch >w<; What I bought: Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007, Jewel (Higuri You's 2nd artbook), and Minako Iwasaki's Artworks book. The other 8 books are all Pea's!

This is the Artworks of GGX 2000-2007 artbook, and I really *LOVE* the cover! >_< (the illust, the texture, design). Simple & verrry cool. 19 new illustrations + 5 pages of sketch works + 1 page of 'extra' + 4 pages of a step-by-step process of how Daisuke Ishiwatari illustrate. Well, I guess that's the differences between this and the previous GGX 2000-2004 artbook. And I'm darn happy to own this! >w< *molests cover* <3

Next, I managed to get my hands on 3 Luffy figurines from Y!Taiwan Auction, very much thanks to Amber for all the help~! m(__)m YES! I finally got that POP 3 Luffy figurine! (middle) The left most is POP 1 (smiling Luffy), right most POP 2 (serious Luffy - so bishie desu!!) >o<

Went for Ratatouille during the Merdeka celebration. Amazing animation @.@ I'd want to watch it again. Remy is sooo cute! (and so is his bro) XD

Happy 50th Merdeka, Malaysia~!!!

Comiworld, flat tyre, sick.

Comiworld was held on 18th-20th August at Cineleisure Damansara.
Most of my collegues (esp. chinese-only speakers) pronounced it as "Comicworld" instead of Comiworld, even if I repeated to them it's C-o-m-i-w-o-r-l-d, w/o the C.. But then I gave up, whatever they wanna call it =w=;
I only get to go on 19th.

First, a pimpage of YUE's latest sketchbook (click image link to enlarge):
It's late to pimp this by now but we're doing online ordering as well :3

Details:
Price: US$ 4, not including shipping.
Content: 35 pages worth of sketches in total by Miaow/Kyou, Pea, Hooli & Chibiying/Lexaross.
Interested or questions just note Miaow in DA or ask me here or anywhere you could find me.

Continuing my day on Comiworld, to simplify everything:
Morning: my car got a flat tyre while almost reaching Pea's place. My bad. Really thankful to Pea, Miaow & friends, Pea's neighbour, & her dad for helping! I'm such an idiot when it comes to car problems.
Noon: started opening YUE booth. Sales was poor. Lotsa passer-by's & shoppers instead of doujin/comic fans. Didn't expect the whole event to be THAT scattered throughout the shopping mall...
Evening: Close & packed around 6.30-7pm. Decided to join the big crowd for dinner out of Cineleisure/Curve/Ikea/Ikano; leaving Miaow & friends behind at their movie :| Sorry, we did not do that on purpose, but we had our reasons for not staying back.

Loots: DMC doujin, Vergil & Lady card & stickers all from the booth nextdoor :3 Inu mo Arukeba / Man's Best Friend manga by Kazusa Takashima (finally get to own one of her manga~), a small Spongebob plushie, & a KLP comic shared with Pea. Plus a RM40 worth of petrol for the week goes to my car + lunch$ + dinner$ = total flat wallet T__T

Today: Caught flu + slight fever. Been watching ONE PIECE episodes almost the entire noon since I skipped work (shh..!) Tyre damage cost = RM110 (got a whole new tyre). Orz.

An actual 'diary'...?

This should be a post for yesterday:

Dad and mom went for Cliff Richard at Genting and would be back tomorrow.

Hooli's birthday is today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOOLI~ <3 So went for a dinner at the Curve's Kim Gary (sankyuu for the dinner!) Too bad Pea couldn't make it, zannen desu yo. I somehow always thought of senpai whenever I passed by Uptown. Sigh sigh TT_TT *buries self in blanket*

Got Devil May Cry 1 and 2 novel; first thinking it's the manga (actual manga has another cover.. uhuhuhuhh *mistaken*) but glad to get it anyway since I've always wanted to know more about DMC's storyline. And I'm surprised Vol.1's illustrations are by Miwa Shirow o_o! TokyoPop listed Miwa Shirow as Vol.2's illustrator as well but that's actually wrong (how could they make that mistake?) oAO; Vol.2's illustrations were definitely by another artist. Don't know who though.

Later went for yumcha at Taipan with ex-collegemates. Which reminds me about one thing: I'm shocked to find that the guys have just discovered about the phenomena of torrent downloading not too long ago (...they're THAT deprived?) Where have they been all these years? D: *slaps forehead*

I wanna watch Ghost Rider--!!!
Been anticipating it since last mid-year and the most recent trailer seems awesome #_# Just hope the 'awesomeness' is not only all that's shown in the trailer.
