last weekend was too short, and these 3 days felt the same too... went to play Badminton on Friday with JC friends. Awesome time and playing badminton over in camp really does help myself to improve haha. Saw myself stuck over the rest of the weekend, stoning at home. Headed out yesterday night to Downtown East to have dinner where there was the Halloween event held at the D'Marquee as well. The queue was so damn long too O_O talk about a paid event! Went by Chrisford too and got to ogle at the guitars over there. Gotta get myself a red one soon! :D Saw the exact on that I wanted over at cash converter for 169 bucks... was tempted though... but I personally would rather not get a 2nd hand one.
what I had in mind was this: would take a look over at peninsula when the time to buy is right :) hopefully it comes as a set!
have bought the festival + stage ticket for Saturday and am planning for a normal festival ticket for Sunday. Sadly *SCAPE only sells the F+S tickets so I'll have to get the Sunday F ticket on the event itself. More importantly, AFA'12 has brought along the 1st 2 madoka movies that have been shown across many countires. This wasn't actually surprising since it was earlier confirmed on the Madoka website that the movie will be shown in Singapore in the later part of the year and coincidentally AFA was also in the same timeframe so I kinda had the hint that it'll be packaged together. However the ticket didn't come cheap though, for early bird tickets, it was a total of SGD50 for 2 movies inclusive of movie premiums. Had it been just the movie itself, I might have reconsidered but since the package was so tempting, I got it anyways :D
Looking at how the 3rd new movie that will be shown next year, I won't be that sure if it'll be shown in AFA'13 or just in the cinema. Would prefer the latter though, better sound quality compared to the normal Expo Hall for the 2 movies this year. 2 more weeks to go and I'm getting excited and worried at the same time. Please don't burn my AFA weekends! *prays*
Robotics; Notes
On a bright note, it does have its colourful elements with certain injects here and there to possibly bring suspense into a series of high expectations. Considering how successful and wonderful Steins;Gate was, it would be difficult to leave this series as a standalone. I really do have quite high expectations for this.

It was a rather shocking week for Shin Sekai Yori's 5th episode. It had almost seemed like a totally different series I had watched for the past 4 episodes. Animation quality had drastically changed, the storyline gets extremely confusing, the time portrayed in the episode seems so haywire that I don't even know how many days had passed since Saki and Satoru had separated from the others while running away. The episode even started with the monk been blown by the "balloon dog" and blood and violence ensued over the span of 24 minutes. What came more surprising was the intimate scene between Saki and Satoru. Did the animation changed to make the scene less awkward as it might have been if the character design causes them to remain as 12-year-old look-alikes? What's more, that scene was totally random although it could be understood that the 2 of them were stressed and possibly worried and thus had confided in each other in such a way. The series has been promising and hopefully it'll continue to be, and hopefully the quality returns to how it was for the earlier episodes. It was heart-wrenching to watch something that doesn't make sense accompanied by distorted characters. Though I do give the suspense some credits.

Sword Art Online has finally moved on to Alfheim Online or ALO for short. SAO was pretty much over and looking back, other than the particular episode where the 2 of them confessed to their love and moved on extremely quickly from there, I would've thought that SAO could have ended itself over the last episode with Asuna awaking. But since the series is now following the Light Novels, ALO has arrived with another "female protagonist" called Leafa which in real life is Sugu, Kirito's "little sister" which in fact is his cousin. Sugu has developed feelings for Kirito after she learns the fact that they were not siblings in real life and gets disappointed after she realise that his "brother" has already fell for Asuna. Not knowing Kirito in ALO is her "brother" Kirigaya Kazuto, she seems to have fallen in love with the in game Kirito as well. Talk about coincidence. I bet she'll be extremely disappointed once she finds out about the truth. Now I thought that Kirito had made headlines as he was the one who had cleared SAO and freed the players? Now why would Sugu not know about Kirito being the ign of her "brother"? Or at least question about it? Not much has been explained over how SAO had ended since it was focused on Kirito trying to get Asuna back. Seeing that he only has less than a week to clear the world tree, the series might skip various battle scenes to fast forward to focusing on Asuna's rescue. I would've preferred it SAO way though but since it's a different game, having a different perspective where the players are more free where they are "allowed" to die and log out, the seriousness of the game might have been taken out and thus the battle scenes as well.
