Your Lie In April - Kousei and Kaori

Dear Chibi,

“Your Lie in April” (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) follows the story of Kousei Arima a former piano prodigy who, after the death of his mother, can no longer hear the sound of his piano. Kousei views the world in monochrome until he meets Kaori Miyazono, a free-spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her manic personality. His once monotonous life was about to change forever.

This is a review of Madman’s Australian/NZ limited Bluray release, which comes with a special collector’s art box and 6 gorgeous art cards. (Click on the thumbnails for a larger view)

Once Upon Au Time~ James & Steph’s Wedding

13th November 2016

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday it was an absolute delight witnessing James & Stephanie tie the knot :) They held a beautiful intimate wedding at The Atrium at The Grounds of Alexandria. Hubby met James a few years ago at work, and quickly became one of his best mates and friend for life. Hubby often brings up all the silly mischief him and the ‘Boisenberg’ get up to, and I just know how much of an honor it was for him to be his groomsmen.

Since Hubby was part of the Bridal Party, he had to leave earlier for location shoots. I got to the venue myself via public transport though I did get a bit lost at the station. The Google Maps navigator kept spinning around and I didn’t know which way I was facing (lol, fail XD) I eventually found my way thanks to the Pokemon Gym conveniently located at the venue, ahAhaha ;D

My top CP Pokemon. Half of them are maxed out. 7 of them are defending gyms at the moment. Sadly, I still don’t have a Dragonite or a Lapras *gasp*

Sailor Moon Communicator Watches Gashapon Set Review

24th September 2016

Dear Chibi,

Sailor Moon Communicator Watches Gashapon

The shinies are here!! :D Look how pretty they are!

My bro pre-ordered these cute Sailor Moon Communicator Watches for my birthday back in April. The July release date got pushed back, so it took a while for these to arrive from Japan. I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of quality, since these are capsule toys after all. Would I be able to wear it? Can I use it as a real watch? Would it be too plastic and fragile? Seeing how much I loved the Sailor Moon mirror compacts, I had a feeling everything will be alright :D

A farewell gift

17th September 2016

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday was my friend Sarah’s last day at work. She’s taking time off to focus on her new band ‘Whispering Jackie‘, so I made this farewell gift for her. She loved it :D

I wish her the best of luck with her new gig. I’m gonna miss having her around that’s for sure.

Annndd.. I haven’t posted much the last couple of weeks. It’s been a busy time, but Hubby and I have been kicking goals, so I’m really pleased about that :D

Until next time. *waves* 8D
