Ugly Duckling McDonald Hello Kitty

As the PSI rises in Singapore (That does not mean we are not concern or unhappy about what has happen that the haze come to Singapore), that doesn't hit on Singaporean love for Hello kitty. A new day that release the fourth plushes, The Ugly Duckling from Fairytales series Hello Kitty promotion.


The story begin again is printed at the back of the package.


The theme of the box is a sky blue which look quite cool. I would think it was yellow since it is Duckling.


Time to Open the Toy!

Peek-a-boo of the Duckling. Lovely eyes and smile.


This is a special Hello Kitty as it is not white but yellowish. Personally I love the cute bow tie and the big orange buttons..



Focus on the Duckling head again. The cute hair on the top.


Side view of the hair Somehow the ribbon at this angle look like the duck beak .


The back of the Duckling is pretty plain but no one is complaining.


At the left foot, the golden arc of McDonalds.


This Duckling give a impression of school uniform for kindergarten and it sure cute.


You may remove the hood to be a true Kitty.


If you must know, the story does not end here as there was a grown up Duckling to the beautiful swan. However it was never made into a soft toy. So sad right?


As much as this kitty cheer up some of Singaporean today, that does not mean we are not worry or upset of the haze level in Singapore as it reaches 300 plus today... This is really not our doing but why are we suffering for it?!


We just can hope for a better tomorrow...

Vampire Mistress Playmobil

Vampire has always fascinated me and it not often we see female Vampire toy from Playmobil. For sure I got to get one.

So here she is, before she was a young innocent girl. All she want was a party and fun.


She was young and damned. Dress in rich dress and a noble taste.


I know not of her history behind turning to a vampire but for sure she was bitten off her will. A monster she will be.


As a playmobil, she did not have a scary face as it is still a child toy.


Here how the magic happen. The switching of two faces on one head.


This is indeed a special playmobil figure. I am glad to have her in my collection.

Now her offer of immortal life to you.


Will you take it?

Manga Bird on Windows 8

I have recently updated my PC and change to a Windows 8 Pro. It is another learning curve for me as the OS has many new feature and new ways to handle stuff. One of the main feature is the Metro interface where you install Apps pretty much like mobile Apps.

As I have friends who hop over the new OS earlier than me, they given me some pointer of what APPS to download and I have found one that I want to share with you guys who love reading Manga. That APPS is Manga Bird.

To install this App you need to go into STORE in Metro mode. From there look for the Apps name in Search. The App is FREE!!

When you launched the App, you will see the whole Library of Manga you ever wanted to find.


As many who are fans of Danboard and Yotsuba, now you can read the whole Manga series in English!


I went for old school and saw CityHunter too!


Then I remember He is my Master.


Then I recall one of my favourite sport comic, Slam Dunk and it is there! I can have an option to mark as my favorite so that I can come back to read the series.


The viewing of Manga is simple, you just click on the chapter on the right and it will load the pages. You can also bookmark the chapter and pages you are reading and come back to read later.


As for me, I am currently reading Claymore which I saw the Anime years back but it stopped half way and it is time for me to read the Manga as it continues.


There are other titles like Dragonball, Vintage Kamen Rider and other Famous Manga. If you are using windows 8, go ahead and install that Apps and start reading Manga again. That certainly help me as collectors I have space constraint for storage. With Ebook or Online viewing we have no issue.

Please like or share this articles to your friends who love Manga and using Windows 8. :)
