Figurines collection and package from Japan

Splurge $400+ on three figurines bought from Goodsmiles company Japan, my biggest spend on toys so far. As the amount exceeded SGD $400, there is a GST tax added which amounts to $28 but Singpost added an extra $10 for handling fee (what the hell) and the total amounts to $38...

By the way, I collected the package from popstation and can use credit card to pay for the GST at the machine. Just scan the collection slip and then enter the sms pin. Then, it will prompt for GST payment. After payment is completed, the door to the package will opened.

From the left: Figma Hyakkimaru (8500 yen before tax), Nendoroid Zenitsu  Agatsuma (5364 yen before tax) and Kenshin Himura (14 630 yen before tax). Comes with bonus additional accessories for Hyakkimaru and a poster signed by manga artist of Kenshin.



Check out my unboxing video of Kenshin:



Also finally managed to unbox and assembled my Keroro figurine ($6), one of my favorite character from a long time ago. It was selling cheaply at Toymana, so decide to get it and add to my collection. 

Another item from Toymana was this Gengar Figurine ($15). Both Keroro and Gengar were made in Japan by Bandai Spirits. It was a steal getting them at such prices.

Goodbye 2020

What a year to remember! Not just for me but for everyone on this planet earth. I’m glad I survived 2020, and as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill u makes u stronger. Life is harsh for almost everyone in 2020. But no matter what shit life throws at u, u just have to take it and move on. It sucks but it does not kill. It’s like the world suddenly changed. I remember rushing to supermarket to stock up on food and toilet paper. There was a time during phase 1 where there were no Macdonald or bubble tea and the only place I can shop for things outside is the supermarket. I remember how I yearned to be able to sit down and eat in the hawker center when no outside dinning was allowed. I realize all the simple little things we took for granted, like being able to eat outside, enjoy a freshly cooked pipping hot meal, eating cakes and desserts...etc. It’s only when such simple little joys are taken away then we realize how important they are. Work had been tough since I don’t have the privilege of working from home. I remember having to work 12 hrs shift for 2 consecutive day with half hr lunch and concuss out the next day. But then, times flies really fast during those times since I’m not working 5 days a week. I keep telling myself that no matter how shitty work is, I’m considered lucky since I got a job and it’s recession and even COVID-19 proof.

What I really missed most is to be able to travel again....those days of being able to just buy an air ticket suddenly and jet off on a budget is now like a dream....I missed the freedom of going anywhere in this world anytime I want as easily as snapping my fingers. Those were the pre-covid days....which we can never go back 😞
