Looks like we have another otaku who is obsessed with Idolmaster figurines. Remember in my very distant post that a particular otaku actually bought 29 boxes of Idolmaster Petit figurines? Well here I am wondering whether it’s the same guy, and this time this particular otaku(same or different guy) is showing us his many Revoltech Figurines of Idolmaster.
I think the total amount of figurines in the picture can reach 30-40.. I lost count XD

As we all know, today is August 31 2009, Hatsune Miku’s birthday! Just want to wish her and ask all fanboys to join me in saying “Happy Birthday!” This is her second birthday, but I don’t have a cake with me. Any fanboy might sparing me a piece of cake? ^^
Miku appeared in Animelo 2009, about 1 week ago. It’s cool that the fanboys were cheering like crazy despite the fact that it wasn’t really a LIVE performance. Now Miku needs to have her own solo concert. :)
Well, Happy Birthday …

Love curry rice? Never actually been to Japan to try their curry rice yet, hoping to do so if I get to go there next year >_<. Well anyway, I tried the local curry rice at a Japanese restaurant. It was good and expensive O_O.
According to Japan Probe, fast food chain Sukiya decided to jump on the “mega” bandwagon with its new Curry King dish.
The dish plate has a diameter of 30cm, so you can imagine it really is MEGA. A 3X increase in rice and a 4X increase in …
