Getting myself into situations that cost money is one of my special talents.

One day, I went to Samyan Mitrtown intending to buy a few things I needed for work, nothing unusual. After I finished shopping, I wandered around the mall for a bit and came across some adorable collectible figures.

I've always liked anime, but at the time I wasn't familiar with collectible figures. The ones I found were Nendoroids—small figures with oversized heads and cute designs. They were adorable, but also fairly expensive.

So I checked Shopee and found them a little cheaper, so I bought one. Then I bought another.

The problem was that once I had two of them, it started to feel like I needed more. A couple of figures looked nice, but a whole display cabinet full of them would look amazing.

That's when things got out of hand.

Now I own nearly a hundred of them, and I collect only Miku figures.
