Hi Papa,

This is Sasara. It have been a while. I am using Gordon onii-chan’s blog since onii-chan haven’t been on it for quite some time. I am doing great at onii-chan’s place. Onii-chan have been taking very good care of me. Before arriving back in Singapore, uncle Danny told me lots of horror stories on how onii-chan will eat me up, especially my oppai. I don’t know exactly what that means but onii-chan certainly didn’t eat me up!  In fact he looked at my oppai only once, he’s too shy to take a second look. Uncle Danny you scared me for nothing.

Moving on, I spent most of my time at home. When onii-chan is away for work, I would surf the internet, update my facebook and download doujinshi for onii-chan. I wanted to go out explore the neighbourhood a bit but onii-chan doesn’t let me. He says I am extremely valuable and sought-after, so bad people out there might steal me. I am not sure what onii-chan means by me been valuable? I guess onii-chan just cares for me and don’t want any harm to happen to me.

When onii-chan is around, he would always say how kawaii I am while brushing my hair. Onii-chan say that to me lots of times and oh he really loves combing my hair too. He never gets tired of it. I would watch him play StarCraft 2 sometimes as well. Though I think onii-chan can be more daring in his tactics, try the other techs as well.

Before I forget, here are some pics onii-can took of me when we went out for an event. I don’t know what’s the event but there’s lot of sweaty men inside. I just stay with the rest of the girls at one corner while onii-chan catches up with friends. Onii-chan actually took lots of shots of me previously but he felt that the shots aren’t good enough as he only wants the best out of me.

Bye for now papa. I’ll write again soon.

P.S. Onii-chan says he wants to take me trooping but he said he’s not sure how the others will react?

Kaichou Wa Maid-sama is without a doubt one of my favourite animes of 2010. The romantic development of the 2 lead character Usui and Misaki is really engaging.

For the uninitiated,  Misaki is the High School Student Council President with a fiery temper and most of all, hate boys (cos the high school is previously an all boys school with a bad reputation and also her father ran away from home when she was young due to debts).  So it’s very interesting seeing how the cool, calm, and collected Usui slowly work his charm every week over Misaki who isn’t very fond of boys let alone fall in love with one.

Noteworthy, Usui does this effortlessly without coming as trying too hard. That’s because Usui understands Misaki well, her background, her determination to provide for her family, her zeal to fight for what’s right and stand up for her friends.

To top it off, despite his protectiveness over Misaki, Usui constantly tease Misaki as well. But instead of disliking him, Misaki became even more confused over her feeling for him. Though it’s obvious that the feeling is mutual, she didn’t make known of her feelings to him.

So the ambiguous feelings for eachother mentioned above is what going on in each episode played out in different scenarios every week. Yes it’s such a joy to watch.

As the anime progresses, I can’t help but ponder that this series is a very realistic reflection of love in Asia society.

Asians are typically more reserved. We don’t usually open up our feelings to one another thus wooing an Asian girl takes much more effort. Yes the usual sweet talking, buying gifts, showing how GAR you are works on certain Asian girls but if you chance upon a real life tsundere, you must in the example of Usui, do your homework and work your charm slowly over her.

Trying too hard won’t work. She will just find you to be annoying at best. Not all girls like the things you buy for her, it will probably end up as junk she has to get rid of eventually. Finding her soft spot and working towards that direction is an better idea.

Many times, we are caught between the stage in a friend/relationship which I call 友达以上, 恋人未满 which means the relationship is more than friends but not yet lovers. This is an awkward, uneasy and maybe somehow embarrassing stage of friendship before it turns into a love relationship which is what Usui and Misaki are currently now in.

Do you find yourself in such situation? Where you are either here or there with the person you have a crush on? Or have ever try hard to win her over but she doesn’t return her feeling?

This is how my toothbrush looks like after been used for a month or so. Imagine how it will look like after 2 months. I think I use too much force to brush my teeth. ^^;

Anyone of you same as me?

Agito Loh, a fellow comrade from across the causeway and a talented artist has drew some very nice fan arts of my blog mascot, Gordenette. ^^;

Launch of StarCraft 2 in Singapore 27th July 2010.

2.

3. Lots of zerglings lining up to buy the game hours before the launch.  On normal days this mall where the event is held is usually empty.

4. Queue extended all the way outside. Waited 1.5 hrs in line before I manage to get my hands on a copy of the game. Estimated number of people who turned up is 10,000  from 12 noon to 8pm. I swear this will be the last time I am going to queue up this long for something.

5. I lied. I’ll properly queue up again for the Diablo 3 launch.

6. Was bored so took random shots of random things.

10. This lovely Terran girl is one of the booth babes. She’s handing out lucky draw coupons.

11. Kerrigan is hot even in infested form.

12. Eat your heart out Tony Stark.

13. StarCraft 2 lead writer, Brian Kindregan was in town and signed autographs for fans. Brian is an extremely nice guy who chit chatted with all the fans while signing. He was suppose to sign for the first 200 in line but he ended up signing for everyone who wants his name on their game.

14. Goodie bag that comes with the game.

15. Decent looking dog tag. A t-shirt is included but I don’t have need for that so donated it elsewhere.

16. The poster is awesome. Glossy finish and Brian signed on it as well.

20. A last parting shot of all the 6 lovely Terran booth babes. They are all nice and friendly. ^^;

Special thanks to my good buddy Pyoro whom I bumped into at the event for accompanying me throughout the launch. Without someone to talk to, it would have been extremely boring waiting so long in line.

OK now excuse me, I have minerals to mine and supply depots to build. See you all on battle.net!

My Black Rock Shooter arrived today but somehow it don’t look the same like the rest? =(

As to who is that girl wearing my helmet, the answer is Ris Low. For those who only read about her in the tabloid and never got a chance to interact with her face to face might think of her as a self-centered, attention seeking person like what’s portrayed by the media. I don’t dare say I know her very well but she sat with me and my friends that evening and she certainly leave me with a good first impression. She seems nice, friendly, approachable and easy going. She even bid goodbye to me and my friends when she left. I guess sometimes people are just misunderstood.

My favourite shot of the event. ^^;

It rained the whole day today but Alodia & Ashley Gosiengfiao were worth braving the rain for.

The Gosiengfiao sisters are in town to meet fans earlier today, as ‘Ani-Mates’ aka brand ambassadors for Animax Asia.

OK some free advertisement since the folks over at Animax are such nice people. For local cable TV viewers, Animax is now on channel 532 and Animax is giving away S$532 each week for ten weeks starting July 19 to viewers for simply watching the channel. Full details will be announced soon so stay tuned to Animax’s website for more details.

The last I saw of the sisters was at last year’s Anime Festival Asia.

Here they are giving autographs to fans.

Alodia wrote “Hi Gordon, really nice to see you again!” I am truly surprised and happy Alodia still remembers me. To think for the past 1 year she would have met thousands of fans at events so to be able to leave an impression I am really honoured. Thanks Alodia! ^^;

Ashley signed for me as well. I feel such a fanboy. ^^;

The emcee for the event is the lovely Head Meido-sama Yoshimi.

Had a short chat with her. Yoshimi is so nice and friendly. ^^; And small too. My helmet looks so big when she’s holding it. ^^;

Random shot of the Reception area.

This adorable lass from Animax takes attendance and gives out the goody bags.

Since she’s so hardworking and cute too, I asked her for a picture. She was reluctant at first but gave in at last. I forgot to ask for your name. Thank you for posing. ^^;

Lastly, Some comrades were present as well. Team Banzai, kodomut, Alafista, speedknight and some new comrades.
