Straight to the point I will on this. Singapore anime merchandise shop, Kare Kano No Mise, is holding a special event which will require you to take sides. No, this is not Guild Wars Factions.
For every $30 spent at KKnM, you will be entitled to a voting ticket which is used for you to cast your vote for either melonpan or chocolate cornet. At the end of the event, the voters of the winning side will have a chance at a lucky draw that promises GREAT PRIZES.
But wait, are pre-ordered figures arriving during this period of time considered as purchases above $30? :3

Preview Session on the 24th of May 2008
I was surprised that KKnM actually invited the bloggers of this little tavern to attend the preview session. As you may or may not know, a period of time prior to opening the store to the general public was allocated exclusively to the loyal members of KKnM and bloggers who have been promoting the event.
Guarding the entrance was probably the most friendliest bouncer I have ever seen in my life and probably the most efficient one. I mean, he is capable of warding away ‘hostile individuals’ with his happy smile that was brimming with love and friendliness. Reckon he could have cured the Orcs from Warcraft of their blood lust.
I am sorry for the lack of pictures and I will be short on the words.
The gist of the 1 for 1 Campaign is pretty much self explanatory. I was there with my mate and we bought two figures. Mine was more pricey than his so the overall cost for both figures was that of my figure’s price because his became free due to the 1 for 1 Campaign. And all he needed to do was return the favour by paying me half of the price of my purchase. That way, we were able save a lot of money… in a way.
There was also a manga and novel promotion which really caught my attention. After browsing through their catalog which has a reasonably broad selection of titles, I decided to order 10 volumes of a certain manga title.
Suffice to say, there is something for everyone (otaku and anime fans that is). Soundtracks, PVC figures, manga/novels and other types of merchandises are on sale now. If you feel like your wallet is a bit too thick, go visit The Anime House for the KKnM/Nandemoya promotion.
The promotion will end on Sunday so hurry! Sharon also told me that the lucky draw will take place at 5pm on Sunday so pop by if you are curious enough.

Word Press doesn’t has the sticky option for normal users. Hence, you might need to use your innovation to keep it sticky. (:

Yeah. Whenever a new post comes, I would have to adjust the published time and date to ensure that this post is always on the top.
=p

@Shin
Hmm? Sorry for my ignorance but am I right to infer that you we are neighbours? Singapore and Malaysia that is…
May 14, 2008 at 12:20 pm

WOW, you ordered 10 volumes? I like … buy one manga volume … every four or six months … LOL!

@blissmo
I ordered this title called SOUL EATER because I am really curious as to knowing what is so great about the story because 30% of our views come from the search engines with search words like ‘Blair hentai’, ‘Soul Eater Porn’ and ‘Soul Eater With Dildo’.

@The Sojourner
You know what? That’s exactly what I’m facing too. The folks are trying to find Rosario+Vampire and Mara-sama ga Miteru H Doujin from my site. I need to reflect on the vibes that my blog is giving. O_o That’s one of the reason why I’ve changed my sexy Moka banner to something that devilish looking.
May 24, 2008 at 10:46 pm
@Hynavian
I think that has nothing to do with the banner :p
These people found our blogs based on our tags usually and as long as our tags have words included in their search words, it cannot be helped. Oh the disappoint that follows!
Btw since you had requested, I can tell you that KKnM gave free Haruhi Goodsmile ‘petit nendoroids’ to the bloggers as a token of appreciation for their paeans and songs for the event.
May 24, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Hey Sojourner, it was nice meeting u today. ^^;
May 24, 2008 at 10:59 pm
@gordon
*blushs*
The pleasure is mine. Now go do more posts like that abandoned Haro tale. :3
May 25, 2008 at 12:48 am
haro is doing well. btw the bouncer is my friend. ya he’s a nice guy. ^^;
May 25, 2008 at 1:53 am
I might have missed you, soujourner, ’cause I left early, met Gordon though. My blog was random misconception, was pretty lucky to get selected, srsly.
May 25, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Oh that’s cool, a free nendoroid ^.^

@C.I.
Hi there. It was a pity I suppose, and I hope you had fun during the preview session!
@Hynavian
Wasn’t RIUVA entitled to send two bloggers to attend the preview session?
May 26, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I’m unsure whether anyone represented RIUVA on that day. They’re one of RIUVA’s sponsors so placing their advertisements is kinda like a compulsory thing. I guess none of the gang went or they would have flashed their e-pennise-pens by now.
May 29, 2008 at 11:46 pm
lol I didn’t post it on my website, too lazy +.+. BUT HEY I WON. LOL. =O
