Dear Chibi,

Last night at 8pm, Jacky and I went to see WICKED- The Broadway Musical at the Capitol Theatre :) It was the first time I’ve ever seen a live musical, and going inside Capitol Theatre. It was quite an amazing experience O_O! I was just mesmerized by all the shiny glitter and lights.. the atmosphere was quite something.  We felt under-dressed though, hahah! We had no idea it was such a dressy occasion but I guess that made it more special. (And now we know.. for next time..xD)

We end up getting pretty good seats and thanks to Kaz it was discounted too, yay~Too bad she couldn’t see it with us.

Elphaba & Galinda

We’ve never seen The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, so didn’t have any idea what to expect story-wise (I didn’t watch any trailers either).  All I knew was that there’s a Tin-man, scarecrow and a girl…and they journey together… yeah.. XD Fortunately, watching this musical wasn’t confusing at all, though there were many references I’m sure fans would have enjoyed :) Today I started reading up on The Wizard of Oz and thought the links were fascinating! I really enjoyed watching the performance, it was humorous and entertaining. I thought the most impressive part was the singing, particularly Jemma Rix who played Elphaba..she’s INCREDIBLE!!! I know they’re pros.. but still, how can she sing so well..so flawlessly, act, remember her lines, dance at the same time? Galinda was pretty funny, and although she had a vain and irritating personality, she really grew on me.

There were some parts that were slightly creepy – I don’t like witches very much….green faces in dark capes don’t go well with me, lol. Good thing I didn’t get nightmares ^_^

It finished around 11pm so by then we were both really sleepy and tired. Worth watching though :D

Dear Chibi,
Yesterday after work we had dinner with our High School girls @Baia San Marco, Cockle Bay Wharf. It was so much fun seeing them all & catching up with gossip XD XD

Girls and our boys xD

The turn out rate was quite a success ^_^ This is what we get after planning it a month or two in advance. yay :D

Dear Chibi,

I’m starting to feel a bit paranoid. It has recently come to my attention that I have been sitting next to the same guy every morning on the train. Every time I board the train, I usually go for the same place- I want a two-seater, top level near the middle, facing backwards if possible.  Lately I have started noticing the same face which leaves me feeling a bit..weird. That seat is usually free since he puts his bag on it until I hop on. Now it just happens every day! He gets off 2 stops before me and now before he even has to ask, I get up to let him out. He waves to me when he leaves.. WTH??? This acknowledgment of  ‘knowing you’ is very awkward. When I’m on a train during my daily commute, I would like to be left alone, minding my own business. I usually don’t take much notice of the people around me, and this kinda killed it.

Should I just move carriage and avoid any further awkwardness? XD XD I’m not sitting there BECAUSE I WANT TO SIT NEXT TO HIM. The seat just always looks most appealing, and he doesn’t smell or take up over 50% of seat space like most…people.. >.> Or I should just wave back 8D! … not.

lol. Random.

Dear Chibi,

owww….I don’t remember being this sore before. My whole body feels so tight that I can barely move, lol XD I always knew I was unfit and I guess this is what I get for not being active enough. It’s nothing to be ashamed of XD

Yesterday was Burpy’s 23rd birthday and we organised a tennis and basketball day for him to celebrate. I haven’t played any sport in a really really long time, and I didn’t want to be out there under the sun in 30 degrees mid-day. After much contemplating, I realised I would be pretty bored if I went and did nothing. If I’m not playing sport now at this age, does this mean I would never play ever again..? That just sounds so wacky! So yes, I end up going with the mentality I was going to play and have fun- which of course I did and I’m glad ^_^ It can feel pretty good especially when I get the ball over the net or shoot in the ring, yaaaayy noob pride :D

The guys were actually nice this time and passed the ball to me. No one usually bothers passing the ball, as they’re  pretty competitive and aggressive. Thanks XD.

After playing in Artarmon from 1pm to 7pm, we went to Chatswood for dinner where Burpy treated us to Korean :D I’m not a fan of Koren food much but the meal was good and I thoroughly enjoyed it ^^ We had a bit of strawberry white chocolate cake too since the cow cheese was left in the car, yum. lol

Hope Burpy had an amazing time, I know I did.

Dear Chibi,

新年快樂! 恭喜發財! 情人節快樂!♥
Happy Chinese New Year & Valentine’s Day!

It’s quite unusual for Chinese New Year to land on the 14th February- so I better jot it down for future reference, hehe. Wonder if it will happen again?

Today Jacky had a taste of the white chocolate truffle I made specially for him ^^ I can’t cook so making this was a real personal achievement XD It’s a very simple treat but I was really happy how it turned out and had so much fun making it :3 I must admit though, seeing him eat it completely made my day~ yaaaaaaay =DD♥

It was a fun day today :D

Dear Chibi,

Look what I found :D A teddddddddddyyyy! I  was really really excited when I got this. I have always wanted a teddy bear, especially of this size, shape and color ^-^ It may sound pretty odd but I’ve never owned a teddy bear. I remember 2 years ago when searching for a card, I saw a teddy very similar to this one, but heaps smaller holding a heart. I picked it up and thought it was just the cutest thing. At that time, I thought about buying it, but what’s the point buying yourself a teddy bear- especially one that says “I love You”. XD So I put it back and thought ‘If only Jacky could read my mind and knew I wanted this without me saying so. err.. that ain’t happening” lol. And…that was that. I never told him I wanted something as simple as a bear… but omg! I got one this year! yay :D He read my mind! (though more likely it was a random fluke but that doesn’t sound as romantic hahahahaa) ^^

At home on my bed

♥ Happy Valentines Day!!

Dear Chibi,

Yesterday Ray invited us over to his current place to have a Moving Home Party :D Most of the Uni guys didn’t end up coming except for me, Jacky and Burpy but that was cool xD What I found particularly amusing was that Burpy had not realised we were still at Ray’s old place (which we’ve been to previously).  He was joking about never coming here again, and when I agreed, he was so shocked. XD hahahaa..how can someone NOT know the location is exactly the same? Somehow he thought Ray simply arranged the new place to look like the old. FAIL. ahahahhahaaa.. Good thing he doesn’t read this blog ;)

We had pizza, lasagna, salad and lots of junk food for lunch followed by poker with his High School friends. We end up played for several hours since well, the game was a bit messed up, haha! Everyone started off with waaaayyyy too many $500 chips..and the big blind was $20.. great lol. In the end, no matter how many chips we started off with, Ray was ultimately the big winner!!! Good one Ray, you were super lucky that day, and since you’re moving places who else would be better to have that luck on their side, hm? ;)

At about 6pm, Ray was wrapping up to go to a birthday party, so we asked Burpy if he would invite us over to his place. To our surprise.. he said yes!! :D :D yaaaaaayy.. None of us has ever been there before so we felt special being the first XD I have always wondered what his place would be like, and Jacky was jokingly saying it’s probably like Pandora.

Dear Chibi,
There has been some Sailor Moon goodies I’ve been thinking of getting lately… but I’m still unsure because they’re kinda pricey ^^;

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary DVD Box Sets

First of all, for Sailor Moon’s 20th Anniversary, new special limited edition DVD box sets are being released. For a moonie fan who doesn’t own any of the DVDs  (shame) it sounds quite tempting to have. However, they only come in Japanese audio without any subtitles. Although I’ve watched Sailor Moon mmmmaaaaannny times, and I would probably know what they’re saying- it just doesn’t feel quite right. What if I wanted someone to watch it with me..? XD hmmm?

There’s 10 Box Sets in total, 2 for each season and if one is going to cost over $100, it’ll cost me a total of over $1000 to complete the set! @_@ I’m thinking of maybe only getting the 3rd or 5th Season box sets since they’re my favourite. But it won’t be complete >__< See my dilemma? I have time to think about the 3rd and 5th season DVDs since they’re not out yet. However, the first 2 box sets are already out… if they get sold out I’ll miss out completely. booo.

Sailor Moon Cel- Teenage Chibiusa

Next comes a Sailor Moon cel that has recently popped up for sale- Teenage Chibiusa from Episode 158:

Cel info:  Sequence #A8
# Unstuck pencil sketch
# Non-matching background included
# Cel is stuck to the background

I found this on Luna-Art, where I purchased my previous 2 Sailor Moon cels. It will cost me roughly $150 AUD which doesn’t sound too bad I suppose… I’m just wondering if I love it enough to get it. I don’t intend to be a cel collector as I was quite happy buying my first 2. I’ve been subscribed to their mailing list, and checked out the sales the minute the email popped up (it was during work!) These cels go within minutes, so I quickly bagged it before I even thought about it thoroughly- there’s no time to think! So yes, I have it on hold for me for a few days while waiting for my payment. My real dilemma comes from the fact when I get it, it would probably never see the light of day. I wanted to frame the cels, but after a bit of research, it seems like that’s a bad move.. But if no one can see them, is there much purpose in owning it? My other two cels are wrapped up and hidden under my bed at the moment o_o I do really love them, but seeing as I can’t see them, it can feel like I don’t have them at times…

Sailor Cosmos Statue/Figure

Finally..the lovely Cycyn reminded me about that rare Sailor Cosmos statue! I’ve seen it months ago when they were still building the figure and was left completely in awe. Sailor Cosmos has never been made into a figure before- and unless you’re a Sailor Moon fan, you probably don’t even know who she is XD

Back then, I didn’t think about getting it because it was labeled “Pre-painted”. I thought pre-painted meant it wasn’t painted, lol… so yeah, I thought there wasn’t any point getting something that has no colour. Now that it is available for pre-order, it seems it is painted! I was very excited about that and decided to check out the price. The pre-order price is $142.49 USD, which I thought was okay since a cel would cost about that much…except I forgot it’s in USDDDDD. Including shipping it adds up to about $200 AUD (and this is when Aussie dollar is relatively high)! I know figures can get really expensive but it really makes me think twice. I DUNNNNNO.

So yeah, there you have it… my Sailor Moon Wishlist which I’m not sure if I’ll ever end up buying. The Sailor Moon cel is probably the closest one I’ll have in getting. Is there some logic I have missed and that would enlighten me..? Please do tell before I cry with regret XD

It’s all about demand and supply. Oh Eco, how much I love you.. ;_;
