I built a Billy Dollhouse :D

21st July 2014

Dear Chibi,

About 2 months ago, I started building a little doll house, which I primarily worked on during my lunch break or down time. This personal side project came about when Robbie put the kit on my desk and asked if I wanted it. He had it lying around his desk for years and wanted to throw it away, so I happily accepted it without knowing what I was getting myself into… Not until I opened it anyway! It turns out the instructions were all in Japanese… and I don’t have the slightest clue when it comes to building things! Determined to make it happen, I went into an Art Supplies store and bought some glue and brushes. After many hours of trial and error, google translating, blu-tacking, taping, cutting, dissolving resin pellets and gluing… we have our finished product!!

My first impressions of Sailor Moon Crystal

7th July 2014

Dear Chibi,
2 days ago, we finally got to watch the very first episode of the highly anticipated new Sailor Moon reboot: ‘Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal

..AND I LOVED IT!!  IT WAS FREAKIN AMAZINNNNGG!!! :D :D :D

I basically spent the entire weekend re-watching the episode over and over~ and listening to the new theme song ‘Moon Pride‘ by Momoiro Clover Z on loop. It’s no surprise why it’s been stuck in my head ever since. But hey, I don’t mind one bit! :D

When I first saw the teaser trailer, I had some mixed feelings. I liked it, but it also seemed a bit low budget and it worried me. I tried my best to remain optimistic. You never know until you’ve seen the real deal, right?

So July 5th was drawing near…we’d already spent months counting down to this date. However, an exclusive event in Japan was announced for June 30th for Usagi’s Birthday, with an advanced screening of the first episode. This meant that there were going to be people who would see it before everyone else.  I knew the chances of leaked footages and visuals were highly likely.  I really dislike spoilers, especially for something I care so much about. It was only 5 days away… There was no way I’d let others ruin it for me. I decided to avoid social media and all Sailor Moon related websites altogether. I had unsubscribed myself from all Sailor Moon pages from Facebook so nothing would come up on my news feed. It was a bit hard at first (always tempted to tweet!), but it helped a lot that I was really busy with work which took my mind off it. IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT! :D NO REGRETS!

I was so nervous staring at the countdown timer on Crunchyroll… my heart was racing! When the opening credits started playing, I started screaming with joy. I had this massive smile on my face the entire time. It basically blew my mind. OMG THE FEELS T^T

The first time I held this wand, I wanted to cry~ it was a special little moment for me :3

Rayfy, Steffi, Marcus and MZ preordered this for my birthday and I finally got a chance to pick it up from Rayfy tonight. I’ve been wanting to get this since it was first announced~ so it’s been quite a long wait, but totally worth it!

Thanks guysssssssss <3

Now let’s have a look at the stick itself, shall we? ;D

The box is elegant and simple. I like! It would have been nice to have a clear plastic front to display the wand inside the box,  but it comes with a pretty stand so I don’t mind ^___^

It feels a bit strange seeing the word “Moon Stick” like this. I’m so used to the word being associated with my MoonSticks comics ^.^
