mahou shoujo madoka bluray vol.3 unboxing

My copy of vol.3 of the madoka bluray set arrived via courier
yesterday.  Yay! :)  I managed to shoot a few photos for the blog before crashing on the couch.  Too much OT in the last 2 weeks... am glad that the end of the week is approaching.  I took a day off on friday to take my parents out to the museum and probably a nice lunch or dinner, depending on the schedule.  Am totally looking forward to the end of tomorrow. :)

For now, please enjoy the photos of the unboxing of vol3 of the bluray special edition of Mahou Shoujo Madoka, one of my favourite anime of all time.




Oh, before I go, I just want to say that I am totally looking forward to the release of vol4 of the set.  The special edition of this set will include vol2 of Kajiura Yuki's OST.  Yay! :) I didn't expect that. I thought it would be packed in vol.5 or vol.6 but I am not complaining. :)

K, till next time... have a good day everyone. :) Meanwhile, I will be listening to the madoka drama cds at work today. Yay!

The Green Corridor

Usually, I don't post up these things on my blog but I really think this is a great idea for Singapore.

This is an idea from the Nature Society in Singapore to use the old dis-used railway track to create a "green corridor" through Singapore for biking and walking. And if this is linked up with the Pack Connectors, it could be very awesome. I'm totally for this idea cuz I really do like nature, biking and hiking.

So if you support this idea... show some support for it on Facebook or going to their events etc.



Once again... not a long entry from me... have stuff I need to do... and I would like to get some sleep too. :)

cheers

12 more days

Yoohoo... here's another one of those short nothing posts I occasionally make just to remind myself that I keep a blog. :)

Recently, as you probably can tell, I have added Mahou Shoujo Madoka to my long list of obessions. :)

Lately, I downloaded a countdown app for my android phone.  It's a countdown app to remind the user of each impending release of the dvds / blu-rays for the anime.  This is something only fans of the anime will enjoy. :)  The picture changes at random.  The above is of one of the magical girls, Tomoe Mami.  The other characters like Kyubey, Homura Akemi, Kaname Madoka and Miki Sayaka will take turns to show up on your screen to accompany the graphic stating the number of days left to each release.  If you tap each character's picture, they'll also spit out one of their lines from the anime.  It's kind of cute. :)  The only thing I'm not sure about is if Sakura Kyouko is included.  She may be, I just don't remember when I cycled through it to check how the app works.  I hope so cuz she was a pretty cool character, although she comes in later in the series.

K... next up, I will try and post on the latest addition to my toy and figure collection. :)  Meanwhile have a good day everyone. :)

mahou shoujo madoka bluray vol.4 box art

The box art for vol. 4 of the Mahou Shoujo Madoka anime has been out for several days but I have not had the time to post it up till now.  I'm not sure what special cd will be packed with the limited edition set but  I am not holding my breadth for vol.2 of Kajiura Yuki's ost.

Been very busy lately at work.  Lots of tough shots and we've also started training to do prep annd clean-up work at work.  I'm still not familiar enough with Nuke, so am feeling a little stressed about it.  Must gambarimasu.  Today, I did finish my first dust busting shot.  It's only a training shot but I'm very happy that we all get to do it and it's on the job training too.  So cool. :)  It was pretty interesting and I can see just how all this info would have been useful when I worked on my hero shot and demo reel shot.  Even in after effects, this info would have been useful.

K... if I have a bit of time later, I might write another post about the newest addition to my toy and figure collection family. But for now... bye. :)

mahou shoujo madoka bluray vol.2 unboxing

Once again, this will be a short post.  Really busy these days. So blogging has to take a back seat again. :(

Yesterday, I received Mahou Shoujo Madoka bluray volume 2 in the mail.  This volume is of much interest to fans of Kajiura Yuki's music because it contains vol.1 of the Kajiura scored OST for the anime.  I plan on listening to it in the office as I work today. :)

Here are pictures of the unboxing.  The formatting of this post maybe kind of ugly for a while.  I have less control over that when I mobile blog and correcting it on my mobile is possible but a little tedious, so I prefer to do it when I am on my PC.  So bear with it for a bit. :)  k. Enjoy. :)

p.s. I've fixed the formatting, now the photos line up better. :)

p.p.s.  Oh... and I did listen to the OST several times in the office yesterday.  It's fantastic.  Exactly the kind of stuff I like, which is why I love Kajiura's stuff so much.  I wished it was longer but ah well... there is always Vol.2 of the OST to look forward to. :)  Once again, I've very happy with my purchase.  :)

They have also announced what special CD will be packed with Vol.3 of the bluray and as suspected, it will not be another Kajiura OST.  It will be this "虚淵玄監修オリジナルドラマ「サニーデイ　ライフ」.  Which is translated into something like "Sunny Day Life", an original Drama produced by Urobuchi Gen, who is the scriptwriter for the Madoka anime.  Cool... I can't wait. :)  I sometimes listen to Drama CDs at work too. :)

lunch on the 22nd floor

Today, like most day's, I packed my lunch to work again.  But, unlike my usual practice, I did not eat at my desk.  Two of my colleagues also packed their lunch today and one of them suggested that we eat at the skygarden on the 22nd floor of the building.

We've been getting blue skies filled with white clouds lately and today was yet one such day.  It was really pleasant and relaxing to spend the lunch hour relaxing with good company and surrounded by a pocket of nature in an environment of concrete and glass.

The above is a photo of the view you get from the spot where we had lunch. I kinda regret not taking more photos as well as photos of the little garden.

Am wondering if I should consider making a small bento lunch to shrare with my colleagues.  K... I am suddenly really tired again and think I will attempt to take a short nap on the train.  Bye for now. :?

Mahou Shoujo Madoka blu-ray vol.3

Really short post.  Just taking a break at work.  The box art for vol.3 is out.  Still no word on what the cd packed with the limited editions will be.

K, later. :)
