When a mooncake = chess …

When i was small, i thought about why can’t the Chinese chess made of candy / biscuit so that when I “kill” the enemy force I can put it in my mouth and swallow, how cool is that!

And this year i finally find something like this with “Dai Tong” mooncake…

I missed shin chan …

I guess most of you know about the death of Yoshito Usui, who used to be the author of the
“Crayon Shin Chan” …

I will be surprised if you do not know Shin Chan (Anyway, can get more info from here) .

Shin Chan is 1 of the anime that i used to read/watch since 1993 ( standard two). I got the first copy of the comic was Episode 2 from the newspaper stall near my grandma house. 16 years later, the newspaper stall is still there but has moved into a nice building and the uncle has been replaced by his son.

When the first time i read the comic, I was almost the same age with shin chan ( around 7-8 years old ) which is 5 and now i am almost 25. it was really fast!

I bought all the Epi until the latest one (Epi 49). I’m not sure whether there will be Episode 50 as the comic ending but i seriously hope so.

Anyway, i am sure he will be missed by a lot of us…
