VACATION TIME !!! :D

Had just paid s$400+ for a round trip Sg to Phuket Int’l. Tentative plan is to stay in Sheraton Krabi.. looked pretty impressive from the website. Moderately costly too… due to the hugh difference in tickets prices for different days, had to extend 1 additional day. It still works out to be cheaper than to stay on for the shorter time - go figure!

Counting down to 5th Aug 2005….. 36 days to go.

Had just completed another anime series… all 51 epd. Took me about 1 month, intersperse with work on my DIY speaker.

A slightly more adult theme compared to InuYasha and Naruto. It centers on a socalled ‘theory of equal trade’: To gain something, you need to supply something of equal value. Starts off a little slow but picks up pace from 3 epd onwards. Almost all the epd are linked at some point in the story.

It tell of the adventures of 2 brothers who got into a fix in their effort to bring back their dead mum through knowledge of ‘alchemy’. This sets them on a quest to restore back what they have ‘lost’. The fictional world is rather believable and the rational of the story makes general sense. There’s some interesting supporting character that makes it all gel nicely. There’s also a bit of romance, humor and some moral message.

Verdict:
Extremely entertaining. Wished the story had extended to 3 digits episodes.
Now waiting for the Movie that is rumoured to fix the not so satisfactory ending.

I had postponed this for a very long while… removing the weakest link in my AV system - the DISPLAY. With the soon-to-be completed WUF#01, I will had a big sound but small picture. (more…)
