Back in 2006, there once existed a site where tons of uploaded goodness were hosted, available for public viewing, before seeing the value in monetizing that damnable site called Crunchyroll. During my long stint at pre-CR, "<i><b>Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru</b></i>" was one of the few gender bender, trap enticing series I came across that had a pretty decent storyline.<br>

It's that time of year again, where the entire otaku fandom and monarch arrive to participate in the this righteous and holy journey of purification to <b>Tokyo Big Sight</b> for one of the largest and most anticipated conventions of the year; <b>Comiket 81.</b><br>
<b><br></b><br>
This year, <b><i>Comiket 81 Winter</i></b> is taking place a day earlier, from <b>29th (Thurs) till 31st(Sat)</b>, unlike the usual Friday to Sunday modus operandi as the New Year is coming.<br>
<br>
Wont be covering as much as I did last year, all viewable under the "<b><a href="http://extrovertedotaku.blogspot.com/search/label/comiket">comiket</a></b>" tag, as I'm celebrating <i>New Year in Penang</i> at the moment, enjoying <i>Asam Laksa </i>with lots of <i>Char Kuey Teow</i> (and the netspeed here is unstable). Nonetheless, a summary of the event is the least I could do.<br>
<br>
This might be my only post on CM81 as I'll be out most of the time visiting Penang, so see you guys in 2012!<br>

It was <b>Day 2</b> of <b>Anime Festival Asia 2011</b> at <b>Suntec City Convention Centre</b>, and I'm stuck with a broken shoe, concert-hangover, and an unsatisfactory breakfast.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>But truthfully, never felt better.</i></div>

It's been almost a full month since the <b>Anime Festival Asia 2011</b> took place in <b>Suntec City Convention and Exhibition Halls</b>, <b>Singapore</b> yet here I am, still having that fanboy festival fever. As my first and probably last visit to AFA, it was <b>THE</b> single greatest festival/convention I could have hoped to experience in my life (at this point). For the next few days, I'll be actively posting my reports after the break with a photo-by-photo chronicle of my trip to Singapore, so read on if you'd like to know my part of the adventure.<br>

<br />
As you can see, I'll be attending this year's AFA2011 on all 3 days (well, 2 days, 1 night actually). Should be good as AFA committee has rounded up a bunch of amazing artistes as always each year. Might be my first and very last time to attend AFA as other plans in the future will hinder me from attending next year, so it a definite must-go at this point, besides the Friday concert.<br />
<br />
Will be flying early, and arriving on Friday itself. A friend has decided to accompany me, and we should be meeting sumore like-minded individuals and comrades in Singapore. Should be a blast before leaving on Sunday night.<br />
<br />
