『A BEST 2 - BLACK -』 & 『A BEST 2 - WHITE -』[浜崎あゆみ Ayumi Hamasaki]

must get album! How can you resist not buying the compilation CDs of Japan's number 1 top selling album artist! AYUMI HAMASAKI! 浜崎あゆみ!

But really have to give it to Avex Trax, they really know how to earn money from us man. Come out with one compilation album never mind, but this time round come out with two, and you die die have to buy both to make it complete! SMART! One compilation CD comes with a price tag of S$27.90, not cheap lor! But for me, I think it is worth the money. Just check out what is in the two compilation CDs.

Bleach and Final Fantasy VII swords

Have the sudden interest in the swords used in Japan anime, my favourite so far will be Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, Cloud Strife's combination of a 6 piece sword: First Ken and Bleach, Ichigo's Zanpakutou(supernatural weapons aka "soul cutter"): Zangetsu (cutting moon) and his Bankai form Tensa Zangetsu(heavenly chain cutting moon).

So I happen to shop around a comic shop in Junction 8 and bought the replica version of the swords. Cloud Strife's First Ken is about 7.5" and Ichigo's Zanpakutou is about 4.5". Else where in the world actually sells the actual life size! Still in the midst of getting the Tensa Zangetsu sword, so have to wait.

Ichigo's Zanpakutou: Zangetsu

Cloud Strife's combination of a 6 piece sword: First Ken

A break down of First Ken

Anyway the photos taken for the 2 swords is by my Panasonic VS6 phone. Macro shots!

New working colleague...flash back from the past...

Wendy left RWSS because she is "expecting" someone!(anyway congratulations to Vincent and Wendy...going to be a parent soon!)

So my manager, Ben, got someone to replace her. Her name is Janel. A 16 year old girl who just got her 'O' level result and waiting to enrol into poly. The youngest employee RWSS have ever employed so far.

Then it got me thinking about the first time when I started at RWSS, I was in my teens, looking for a part-time job after graduating from secondary school. It was back in 1998! Come to think of it, I have been working on/off at RWSS for close to 9 years! Wow! RWSS gave me alot of wonderful memories and taught me things that cannot be found in books/schools. Truely grateful to all the people I met/knew/learned from along the way...BIG thanks to all!

Well, for now it's my turn to impart what I have learned throughout these years to this young girl and hope she will enjoy her time working at RWSS. Last but not least experiencing and learning about the facts of life where I first started from.

Panasonic VS6

Finally bought the phone I always wanted. Panasonic VS6! Here is the link to the specification of the phone.

I always wanted a clamshell phone and in terms of looks this is so far the best looking clamshell phone.

Very "JAP" wor!
