found the motivation and some spare time to relax and finish off Ga-Rei Zero. shld have finished it a long time ago and the anime had a rather sad ending. the series started with epi 1 with all the "main characters" killed off at the end and the story being rewinded back to the past before coming back to the present in the last few epis. so basically the story is about a girl Yomi who has a "sister" called Kagura and she taught her sword techniques and even brought her along with her job of exorcising spirits. however things did not go well as Yomi was suspected of killing a comrade and was injured badly by the enemy, causing her to be unable to speak nor move. she then gave in to the enemy who planted a demon fragment in her causing her to kill off several comrades. as the stone was able to grant her wish, Yomi decided to wish for Kagura's safety, even if it means to remove her existence and in the end, Kagura finished her off... dang! why did she have to die =X so i went off to check wiki and found a continuation: Ga-Rei manga and started it off and Yomi was plain evil in the front few chapters but it turned out that she had somehow seemed to returned on chapter 39. O.o guess i'll have to see what happens next =D

EDIT: might not be sure on this one:

Hayate no Gotoku!! ends....... =X sadded.... did not even show A-tan's chapters T.T guess we'll have to wait for a next season, if there is... so basically, the anime followed the manga quite closely and there isnt really a main story line behind it but i kinda see this season better than S1 with less reference to other animes and can equally make people LOL hard =D the last epi had however some reference to Gundam 00 with hayate taking a book called "The Basic Principles of the GN Drive" and Alice in Wonderland starting with "Celestial Being worked towards the end of all wars"... =.= the whole packy part really just show how UNLUCKLY hayate is in his life... i had hoped for S2 to be longer and had more epis and really wanted them to show A-tan's chapters. so i thought "oh, nvm then, wait for new season..." and THEN they showed this at the end:



and the screen went white when going to reveal her face... ARGH!!!!!!! I WAN A-TAN =X

moving on...

went to Manpuku at Tampines One with my family today and it was a rather nice place to eat, the food was great too =P a innovative system was apparently used in it. with their special cards used to pay for ur food and then all the cards will be swipped to check the total amts and then pay in the end O.o rather efficient i would say... =D

the place wasnt as small as i thought it'll be, each stall was rather uniquely located and u can have a hard time returning to ur table after looking around.

so here was some of the food they had:







really nice =D recommended to try =)
