THIS is the
BLEACH All The Colors But The Black artbook. It's available for pre-ordering, and the price has been mercilessly slashed from US$19.75 to US$17.95. That equates to around SD$20.
BUT, oh the shipping fee!! It costs
$28.00 to ship it from the US to Singapore!! And the ironic thing is that this website appeared in the 'Only pages from Singapore' google search. So I seriously DONT get how the price is so...
biased.
And then, I tried searching for a Japanese one, thinking it might cost less for the shipping fee and its imported directly from Japan as well.
BUT, it requires an
account, I signed up for it,
AND HALFWAY THROUGH THEY TOLD ME FOREIGN ADDRESSES ARE NOT ALLOWED!! *On the precipice of
defeat breakdown*
And here's another one:

Yes, I heard all the gasps and omgs and wtfs,
BUT YES THERE'S A PAIR OF FREAKING BLEACH SHOES OUT THERE!!! AND I
WANT it real baaaaaaad. It costs a reasonable $68.90 (the last time I checked) but the shipping fees (again!)!! it costs $24 to get that pair of heavenly sneakers over to Singapore. it totals to at least $92.90.
Look at me, do I, who looks like a student, look like I have
that much money to pay the ridiculous
shipping fees? I mean, dude! It's $24!! I can buy like,
4 Mangas (if it were before the GST increase it would have been 5) while you bunch of people sail the ship across the sea.
So I don't know whether or not to ask my brother in the us to lend me ship over there first. But I cant let my mom know, and I highly doubt my brother will co-operate with me in this highly sensitive secret operation, so...
WHY OH WHYMy heart itches to even think about it.
Back to happy stuff. Ever since Megan(aka angeliclovegal) got me addicted to online shopping my money has been dwindling like how my mom's patience with my BLEACH obsession is plunging. (she was already very objectionable from the start, this state is termed... have you heard of the phrase, 'off the charts'?)
I SERIOUSLY NEED MONEY.
Hence this is a chance for a shameless self advertisement:
Earrings for sale!! Mangas (might) for sale!! and Old Taiwanese Jungiery Stars albums etc for sale!!
for the Jungiery Stars albums etc you can visit
fahrenheitmerchandise.bs.comI bought a box of BLEACH figurines including 4 charas: Ichigo, Orihime, Byakuya and Ukitake. Enjoy.
It was challenging piecing all those pieces up together, for one because of its relatively cheap price the quality isn't very good. The slots where parts are supposed to be attached to are either too shallow or too big, but thanks to my intelligence in physics *coughcough* i managed to get those pieces on. (tip: dont force it on, just gently hold it there. It seems to prefer kind and loving people) But lucky for them my favourite part about buying a figure is the putting-them-together part! So I was very optimistic putting all of them together (Dare I say that I have seen Ichigo without his bottom half of his body, Ukitake's bald head, Byakuya's arm fall off and Orihime's head disjointed) Enjoy the fruits of my labour :)







To protect my beautiful babies I decided to move all my other BLEACH figures up to the glass display case on top. In the meanwhile I found out something amazing.
