Man with a Plan

Completely forgot that it was Brandon's birthday on Friday (13th). Only realised it when i saw him eating a strawberry cake (the whole cake by himself..) yesterday. Anyway he still owes me money and a chocolate bar so i don't feel so bad about this. Not that he cares anyway.

Went out window-shopping yesterday and bought Marvel's
Civil War TPB. Great story and artwork. And while reading it i kept thinking of Gun n Roses 'Civil War'. Will buy Avengers Disassembled and House of M the next time i go back to Kinokuniya.

'Civil' War: What's so civil about war anyway? - GnR

While walking to the counter to pay i saw Erika Toda on the cover of a female magazine, Seventeen. I had to keep circling the female magazine section till there was no one around before i quickly grabbed it and went to pay. But the magazine was worth it ($11.50), it had a insert booklet all about Erika (which i scanned here). The rest of the magazine i wouldn't even flip through cause it's all about female fashion. But for what it's worth, it came with a small cosmetic bag as well (black w/ pink polka dots..)

$11.50 for a 450Yen(~$5.80) book

Went back to VivoCity and i have to say it's huge! But i walked through all the VCD/DVD, toys and game shops and didn't find anything of interest. (The open air park on the 3rd floor is a great idea though) There is a $2 Japanese shop on the top floor which is pretty interesting and i'll probably end up visiting it again to get some decorations for my room.

My aim was actually to look around for furniture but after yesterday i'm forced to resign that i'll probably be going to get most of the stuff from Ikea. Not because of budget constraints (and i do know Ikea's quality sucks) but because all the other places have such boring designs. Kevin bought some design magazines from Tokyo and there are some really nice concepts in it. Going to try to adapt some of the ideas for my own room.
