postage cost me a $100
My maid was chatting up with my old neighbour and some random guy just went through our gate without saying anything.
Then i realised he was carrying a huge box.
Then i realised that's my package from japan. He's just the damn mailman.
But hell yeah! My rubbish came. I'm not even gonna borther trying to remember how much i spent on all that crap that came. Probably over US$600 considering commission and handling fees. Don't wanna think about it. Once in a while...is fine...right? right?
In the end, this box went to my parrot for dismantling.
Really doesn't look like the amount i paid. We'll there's still another item that hasn't been released yet but that still doesn't explain the exorbitant cost. Actually it wouldnt have been so bad if it wasnt for celga's extra fees. If i had a credit card, i'd just use Tenso instead. I'd probably use more of Animaxis instead from now on too, since they accept paypal and don't need commission XD!
Hence, here's the list.
1) Code Geass Art Print framed portrait. (this was horribly expensive. Hint: more than 10000yen, and i'm embarrassed to divulge the price. but it looks pretty and i'm gonna hang it in our living room.)
2) Kotobukiya Harukanaru Yoshitsune figurine ( i kinda liked the design somehow)
3) Nurarihyon no mago chain. (jump stuff)
4) Reborn poster (from last years jump festa?)
5) Reborn chain (with some wing design thing attached. kinda liked how it looked so i ordered it. haha)
6) 3 Gintama kakejiku (wall scrolls)
7) Hakuouki okayu set / tokuri set. (hur hur hur. bowl and sake bottle. They're usable, and the sake bottle's a lot larger than i expected.)
8) Togainu no Chi jumbo cushion (XD)
9) Celga free gift (L'arc~en~ciel 2008 concert tour goods)
10) Still to come: Pandora Hearts GanGan Art Collection vol 2
Unless there suddenly is a third season, this will probably be the last code geass merchandise i'll ever buy from now. Its very pretty though.
I only put up the Takasugi wall scroll. I have still one of Gin and Katsura but they're still in the box. The other is from a new manga (Nurarihyon no mago) that i've been reading lately. :D. I was a good excuse to buy something off Mekke's site.
I don't even play the game, and cant be bothered with dating sim games, but i kinda like Kazuki Yone pretty art.
The free gift from celga. It's from L'arc's concert back in 2008. I think its a compass really. But it doesn't seem to work? I don't know. Ignore the card, its just another one those papers animate likes to dump in your bag. I got a few of those usual newsletters again too. They like wasting paper as usual.
Last but not least. Figurine speaks for itself and cough, yeah i got myself a pretty new cushion :D. A scantily clad akira is at the back, so you only need to see shiki in front. XD Its not meant for use. No.Way.
Ana's grasshopper that flew off her hand and smacked into a car, bounced off it, then fell to the ground and got run over by another car.
I really don't know if i should be happy or annoyed that a classmate in my japanese class said i sounded like a japanese high school student. The plus point would mean that my pronunciation's getting a little better, but the low point would mean i sound like a brat? O_o. I've demoted myself from Further Advance 4 to further advance 2, since my old class got cancelled due to lack of students. So now its a totally new class, with even an american rocker amongst them. Hopefully i can break the ice there.
