Death Note!



Went to meet TF at Sunshine Plaza to check out whether the MG Gundam Wing Custom Zero was still available at Hobby Art Gallery but Joyce said all sold out le.. New stock coming in only in December / January... Oh well.. Went over to La Tendo and chanced upon a Luffy figurine going for 24.50 and another Saber figurine for 72. Put the both of them in a pocket in my mind for potential purchases. Hee...

After that, went to meet up with ZJ and another friend for dinner before heading off to watch the much-awaited DeathNote movie. WY joined us for dinner too, although he watched the movie with another group of friends already.

The movie was ok only lah. I'm currently watching the anime now and also reading the manga too. The movie, IMHO (in my honest opinion for the mis-informed) proceeded too fast. Even those who did not know anything about Death Note would have been lost.. Also felt that they should have gotten actors to portray both Light and L instead too... The actual ones are erm.. not too convincing? The movie also doesn't pay homage to L's brilliant mind as quoted by TF after the show as well. It kinda shows him as a freaky kid who loves sweet stuff and talks monotonously.. That's quite sad...

The second instalment is already out in Japan, or so I heard.. and due to be released soon in Singapore shortly. To watch or not to watch? That is the question! Might be getting a "Death Note" notebook for fun from Comic Connection. Although the larger version looks and feels like the real thing, the rules are written in both English (as per original story) and in Chinese! Argh! Think from Taiwan or China sia.. The smaller one is cheaper and has rules only in English but doesn't really look like the real notebook at all. Which to get? It'll be fun to be seen writing in the notebook and peeking at someone who just pissed you off.. keke..

Off to the Jobcentral career fair @ Suntec tomorrow! Armed with resumes and a witty mind, here I come! Hopefully can take pictures in there and share with you guys soon!
