Bring along your son lah (any addition to the family yet?)

Anyhow, long time not see you post here. ;)
Oh for sure will bring son along. He had so much fun at the last mid-night sale that he's always asking to attend another one and I always had to tell him that not likely will have another but now that this is here and he's so keen on the Clone Wars, I think he might have a good time too!

You go in costume leh!

Yeah, been very busy with work - you will also see that I haven't been drawing on my site too. Life's been crazy!

Ok now, we don't want any lost Jedi or Sith, Rebels or Imperials, going down to Toys "R" Us at 11pm on Saturday night... cos by then everyone else would have gotten their toys, the store would have closed for the day, and the launch event would have been over for 24 hours :lol:

Everyone, please take note that you should be going on 25 July 2008, Friday night. Please let your friends know if they are still confused. :wink:
