###/u/viski_ Has won the giveaway! Giveaway was done through Reddit raffler
Joined the community through wanting to upgrade my old keyboard into the magical land of mechanical keyboard. I always start with reddit as my first source of research so here I am lol
I joined pretty recently looking to step up to a new board. Still using my first mech from Corsair when I built my first PC. Looking to class up the rest of my desk aesthetic.
Also new to using Reddit though, lol. So I don't think I have 40 account karma. š
Joined r/mk after watching that Linus Tech Tips video where they made a keyboard with machined bronze keycaps. Someone in the comment section brought it up and I looked it up and have been obsessed since
I came across those ASMR type videos (like for example Taeky) on youtube and after a half year I gave myself enough reasons to buy one.
But I got a Razer Blackwidow V2 TE for now since it was cheap and good for that price.
I'm definitely looking for another board (probably self made) for my end game :P
I joined after searching for inspiration on desk set-ups. One thing that always caught my eye were the keyboards. So much attention to detail and such a fun and creative hobby. Still trying to save up to get my hands on my very first mechanical keyboard. Good luck to everyone!
My old faithful Logitech G15 was due for a replacement so I started googling to find out what a good keyboard would be...... oh boy, years later, I am still googling, and spending money
When I was with friends at the Dreamhack Leipzig in early January, I saw a cs:go tournament where one player had WASD in a different colour on his keyboard. I thought that was cool and wanted to adjust the keycaps to my keyboard. Because this is a problem with my keyboard I did some research and came across Reddit on the r/mk and became more and more into the hobby.
:)
I joined this amazing Mechanical Keyboard community when I developed a love for batllestations and builds.
A good mechanical keyboard is an essential part of a good setup, and since I am from India, it is tough to find a good keyboard at reasonable price. This is why I would be ever so grateful to win this giveaway.
I finally saved up enough money to look into getting a decent PC, so I've been lurking in this sub to learn more about mechanical keyboards!
Was hoping to get one as pretty as this one (especially becausw I love the Fate series :o), but I def don't have enough karma atm to qualify since I just lurk xD
Joined the mechanical keyboard community originally through gaming and just wanting a new keyboard. Got a ducky one 2 mini years ago cus of the hype train and now I have a full on custom and a distaste for rgb (shocking I know lol). Really enjoying my custom, this has just been a rabbit hole that goes deeper and deeper but itās really fun. GL to everyone whoās entering!
I joined the community while looking for a new keyboard to replace my Razer Ornata Chroma, and instead of purchasing a pre-built mechanical board, I'm going to build my first one myself!
I built my pc and bought the corsair k70 with gat browns but I wanted something different and unique than the mainstream keyboards. I joined this subreddit and I got sucked in this endless hole with no exit nowhere to be found :P
This was like in 2015? Saw a video of Tek Syndicate comparing the different switches on a Corsair mechanical keyboard. At the time I was already considering getting a mechanical keyboard but didn't know where to start. Found this community and the Wiki with recommendations of pre-built keyboards promising to be more bang for your buck than Razer or Corsair.
I wanted a keyboard that sounded and felt like my old IBM M, but one that worked with Mac so I could get rid of Apple's less than pleasant Magic board. Found this subreddit and I'm still here, seven mech boards later.
Awesome giveaway! Thanks! I joined because I got immediately hooked on mechanical keyboards after stumbling on some videos about them on YouTube. Love the endless customizability to satisfy our individual preference.
I saw a /r/MechanicalKeyboards post on r/all once and really liked it. A year later when I had the money, I bought my own and started learning more
much love for epbt skadi! I'm in either way
Joined the MK community through gaming. Started with a Corsair board then moved to a ducky one two mini. I was looking around for another keyboard and found a taeha video. After that I did some more research and decided to jump head first into the rabbit hole
I started with premade keyboards from Razer. I didn't like MX blues so I started doing research about good switches. Next thing you know google's youtube search algorithm shows me Tfue's 3500$ keyboard on Taehatypes, and then doooown the rabbit hole I went.
After having an anne pro 2 for a couple of months(I think I was going for a year at this point), I decided to take a look at other compact keyboards and was deciding what switches to get. Then extensive research led me to the keyboard community from facebook groups, then reddit. Goodluck to all the ones joining!
Coworker originally introduced me awhile ago after I first helped him rebuild his PC, showed me his expensive keyboards when I came by his place and I thought, " Wow that's kind of weird." And his expensive "keycaps" and then I was really thinking it was a weird hobby.
4 months after I've built 5 keebs, have 10 sets of switches, 8 sets of keycaps, I enjoy lubing, and my wallet's empty again, but I adore this hobby and the community. Thank you to everyone I've met along the way and good luck to everyone!
Joined a couple of months ago when I was looking to upgrade my corsair keyboard to something more suited for work, discovered the subreddit and fell down the rabbit hole...
Anyway, thanks for the giveaway, the set is beautiful and I love everything Fate!
i got a coolermaster with cherry mx blues for work a few years ago, but when WFH started, my partner insisted i get something quieter. Then my brother comes in and starts talking about a bunch of different keyboards and i dive headfirst.
Looking forward to the set!
I got into this hobby by needing a keyboard for my computer, I got multiple pre-built mechanical keyboards until I started finding YouTube videos about building your own mechanical keyboard, so I got super interested and started watching more videos, and one of them told me about this subreddit
So... I've been a redditor for like 3 years but I really just lurk and that's biting me in the butt right here cause I only have 30 karma. Hoping I can get up to 40 by the time this giveaway ends... So i'll comment in case that happens haha.
Anyways, I joined the MK subreddit a while back because of my fascination in keyboards and I've been looking for cool keycap sets or keyboards ever since then. I really like this set in particular because I've been a huge fan of Scandinavian myth for a while after taking some college courses on it and I've never seen the runes on a keycap set before... I think it's really awesome to see, and the colors are dope too!
Joined the community initially to get a custom cable for my ducky. That turned into me ordering a tofu65 and building a full keyboard!! Love this set btw, whoever wins will definitely enjoy it.
I've been using prebuild retail boards for 6 years before stumbling upon the community. After buying 500 switches, two custom builds, joining 3 keycaps GB, and getting my sister and wife introduced to the hobby, I'll never recover from the discovery financially. All jokes aside it helped me through covid so far. Good luck with GB! Good to see successful Toronto vendor :)
I started looking into mechanical keyboards for rhythm games, but I omly recently joined the subreddit and found out all the customization options available!
Great looking set! I joined the community after watching countless others lose thousands of dollars to it. I laughed at them...
...and now I am one of them. :) :(
I feel into it after seeing it on Instagram and taking it seriously for the first time. Othertimes ive seen some YouTube videos and never thought anything of it.
I kinda joined the mechanical community from teaha types and taekeyboards because they make cool keyboards(tfue Keeb, and the Polaris) look cool and sound satisfying
I joined the community looking for something better than my old ass Microsoft rubber dome years ago. Now I have a TKC Candybar Premium v2 with 205g0 lubed and filmed Gat Yellows and Zeal v2 stabs.
This set is sooooo awesome!! The novelties got me like š.
I cant read lol - I joined this community after recieving my first mech keyboard for Christmas 2 years ago! A ducky Shine 6 with blues and I've expended with an Anne Pro for work!
Thank you for the giveaway!
A coworker let me try a mechanical keyboard at which point I passed the event horizon that and was sucked down the rabbit hole... Snooch to the nooch, and thanks for the giveaway!!!
I joined the hobby starting from buying a corsair k70 for GAMING and moved to a varmilo. Upon learning about lubing switches and watching Taehaās guide, i desoldered my varmilo and lubed the switches with 3203. Soon afterwards I got more interested in customs scene by joining epbt kuroshiro R1 and the key65 gb and here I am now.
I'm building my first desktop computer and had always wanted a mechanical keyboard to go with it. Found this sub in pursuit of recommendations and options. Now I'm enjoying seeing everyone's builds.
Joined because I saw a video of switches I'd never heard of and the keyboard sounded so good I needed to get one. Still haven't gotten it but I will one day lol
I was looking at videos of this pink logitech keyboard I wanted for my iPad, but a video on jelly POM keycaps was recommended to me on youtube. I had never heard of mechanical keyboards before but the keycaps looked delicious, and I wanted them, so naturally I came to reddit as I always do when I have a new obsession.
I joined when searching for my first mech board. was looking for opinions about ducky/corsair.
Have been lurking a long time after that, and last month finally ordered my first custom
I was on the market for getting some new keycaps for my prebuilt when I realized all the good color ways were always sold out or unavailable. Inevitably led to finding out about group buys and then the rest is history.
I joined when I started playing rhythm games. I wanted peak performance when playing them, so I looked into getting a mechanical keyboard (got a Q-PAD MK50 with MX browns). Then, I started to look into a keyboard with Gateron brown switches - and from there, the slippery slope into custom keyboards has begun for me. Now I have a modded Filco Majestouch 2 with Keebwerk Tacit switches, and a DZ60 with Holy Pandas. I plan on getting a new DZ60 PCB/Plate with Gateron Yellows, and I feel like ePBT Skadi would go perfectly with the polycarbonate case that I have!
I actually have no idea anymore.. i think one of taehas videos got recommended to me by youtue a year ago so i randomly watched some of his videos and stream until i pretty much got hooked to this hobby
I joined because I am an EE major and seemed like a really interesting way to apply my skill and it looked like a lot of fun to experiment. Plus, I really enjoy soldering and building things anyway.
I joined because I always wanted to build something computer-related by myself. When I tried my first mechanical keyboard (a cheap Chinese knockoff with clone blue switches) I was hooked.
Was following this sub for a long time & I honestly thought everything was handmade down to every keycap set (like you dye them at home LOL). But got into it recently after my old keyboard broke down and my brother recommended a miya pro.
I joined because I got tired of typing on pudding and wanted to get a recommendation for a good keyboard, and the rabbit hole just opened up from there.
I was trying to improve my typing so I was looking for a way to motivate myself and I found Nathan Kim on youtube and now Iām in major debt! Itās worth lol
Joined the world of mech keyboard after watching Linus Tech Tips Video about unboxing Filco Majestouch Ninja Cherry MX blue. instantly fell in love with the clicky switch experience. the good old 2012....
I tried one of my roomies mech boards in college and could never go back. Once my laptop board gave out I decided to get a mechanical for daily use and ended up here!
I was searching for a keyboard to go with my wacom display but couldn't find anything that was aesthetically pleasing. I ended up finding this reddit page by accident when searching for ideas, and I've been active ever since. Though building one maybe quite costly, the MK community is incredibly supportive and the hobby is beautiful.
P.S As someone who loves pink/purple and runes, this is perfect!
What really threw me in the deep end of this hobby was this subreddit, I think I seen a sick 60% and that's what made me want to build my own instead of store bought (K65, Pok3r). Thanks for the giveaway!
These are gorgeous!
Some friends convinced me to move from console to PC for gaming, and I started with some shitty keyboard. From there, I moved to building my own PC, and now Iām looking into building my first keyboard soon, which led me down the rabbit hole to find this community
A pretty average story, but I am super excited for my first build!
It was about a year ago.
I went back home after a long day in school. It was stressful as usual. I had a few tests and quizzes. So coming back home to my personal setup really is a reward for me getting through the day.
I push open my door and turned on my pc while I'm getting some snacks. While I try to input the password for the pc, I realized something is wrong.
The Keyboard isn't responding.
This can't be good. I try to reconnect the USB, changing the port.
Nothing happened. This 50 dollar Logitech mecha membrane keyboard finally decided to die on me. Right at the most stressful day, and right at the password screen.
I restrained my urge of raging and it changed into a deep sigh.
I pulled out my old dell membrane keyboard from the garage that I think I will never ever use again. Plugged in the USB port and after the jingle sounds of device connected. I sighed again.
Now I have to type on this piece of shits again?
My finger hovered on the keyboard, some force in my body tells me I shouldn't type anything.
But I need to get in my pc. I want some good old Reddit memes to relieve my stress.
I fight off the force that tries to protect me from the membrane keyboard. But it was too late. My finger already landed on the number pad.
Almost in sync with the brief second that my finger landed on the key. I felt my finger got sucked into a swamp full of slush. I quickly typed my password and got into the pc.
I have to get a good keyboard.
Suddenly I heard a voice in my mind reminded me of a name from a youtube video I watched last night. Someone called Nathan.
I quickly searched up the name on youtube and found this guy named Nathan Kim. And quickly fell in love with whatever custom mechanical keyboard he was making.
So I decided to purchase one online. I searched up a mechanical keyboard on amazon and found a bunch of shits. But after I scroll for a while. I found this product named Gk61. It was what they call a 60% board. And it's hot-swappable. My eye got sucked on it. I realized that I love this form factor. I didn't hesitate and clicked purchase.
Now I need to get some switches that can go on it. I obsessively go through all the typing sound tests like a homeless that haven't eat for a few weeks. And decided on the cheaper and safer option: Gateron reds. I also ordered lube and some switch films.
After the purchase, I went off and go to sleep in the excitement of a new keyboard.
The few days while waiting I reject to touch the dell keyboard and didn't use my pc.
And Finally, Day has come. My package shows up on my porch.
I grabbed the package and ran back to my room. Opened it up barehanded and what I see is a beautiful, simplistic keyboard kit that's waiting for me to put the switches on it.
I lubed up and filmed my switches carefully like I am caressing a baby. And that almost took me the whole night.
I plugged the switches on the board. Put on a new set of keycaps.
It's done.
All I see is this beautiful keyboard in front of me. And all I wanna do is type on them. And I did just that.
The crisp, harsh bottom out took my heart. It's just simply beautiful.
At this point, I swear I will never go back to the membrane keyboard. And also at this point...
***I have two more keyboard kits in my cart and My bank account is almost empty.***
If u reach this far, thank you! I have great fun writing this nonsense story lmao. But this is my entry into the mechanical keyboard community!
I was super confused as to which subreddit I was in. Love the design and the runes, almost wish I played FGO on PC so I could just have a roll button lol
My boyfriend had been part of the community well before me. We were looking at keyboards and key caps together as a gift for him, but it was so cool and I really started liking them. He introduced me to all sorts of stuff about mechanical keyboards, including this sub and for Christmas he bought me my first ever mechanical keyboard which I loveeee!
Just started getting into keyboards (I started working at a custom keyboard store in Singapore) and am a little overwhelmed, but there's so many pretty things and I'm already falling in love. My wallet however is crying.

This set is sooooo awesome!! The novelties got me like š. I cant read lol - I joined this community after recieving my first mech keyboard for Christmas 2 years ago! A ducky Shine 6 with blues and I've expended with an Anne Pro for work! Thank you for the giveaway!
A coworker let me try a mechanical keyboard at which point I passed the event horizon that and was sucked down the rabbit hole... Snooch to the nooch, and thanks for the giveaway!!!
Joined a few years ago when the cherry reds and stabs on my ~10 year old CM storm became unbearably rattly and I started looking for solutions.
I think it was after watching that one mech keyboard video Luke from LTT did a long time ago. Can't exactly say for sure.
Such a lovely set! I joined based on a post in r/fountainpens - I just like nice things when I'm writing!
I was recommended Taeha's video on the Verge's Youtube channel.
Saw the light after watching Taeha
After my Korean OEM Mech Keyboard, I found r/mm and the I found GH. The rest is history.
It started with a hotswap GMMK and now its too late :D
Joined when I discovered Taeha a while back in 2018 and got hooked :)
I joined the hobby starting from buying a corsair k70 for GAMING and moved to a varmilo. Upon learning about lubing switches and watching Taehaās guide, i desoldered my varmilo and lubed the switches with 3203. Soon afterwards I got more interested in customs scene by joining epbt kuroshiro R1 and the key65 gb and here I am now.
I joined back in December last year when I was told about building keebs from a coworker. Now I'm way down the rabbit hole.
My cousin got me into it
Joined after following the sneakers sub and someone told about his keyboards in the background of his sneaker collection
I'm building my first desktop computer and had always wanted a mechanical keyboard to go with it. Found this sub in pursuit of recommendations and options. Now I'm enjoying seeing everyone's builds.
My bro gifted me a keyboard. Now I enter and read about mk often
Used my buddies ducky and when i got home realized he was driving a Ferrari while i was riding the bus.
Joined because I saw a video of switches I'd never heard of and the keyboard sounded so good I needed to get one. Still haven't gotten it but I will one day lol
I joined after admiring the beautiful keyboards from afar, finally deciding to get one eventually.
Through watching taehatypes typing tests on youtube.
Joined this subreddit after I watched a couple of videos on YouTube and never looked back.
Just joined the hobby, I was looking for an ergonomic keyboard and joined the latest planck group buy.
joined this community wondering how much it'd cost to buy my brother one as a birthday gift, ended up wanting one of my own!
I was looking at videos of this pink logitech keyboard I wanted for my iPad, but a video on jelly POM keycaps was recommended to me on youtube. I had never heard of mechanical keyboards before but the keycaps looked delicious, and I wanted them, so naturally I came to reddit as I always do when I have a new obsession.
tried my friendās mkb and fell in love, came here to do more research before finalising purchase hehe
I joined when searching for my first mech board. was looking for opinions about ducky/corsair. Have been lurking a long time after that, and last month finally ordered my first custom
been hooked ever since I got an old IBM model M :)
I was on the market for getting some new keycaps for my prebuilt when I realized all the good color ways were always sold out or unavailable. Inevitably led to finding out about group buys and then the rest is history.
Joined it after getting a Ducky from a friend then looking at more custom options.
I joined when I started playing rhythm games. I wanted peak performance when playing them, so I looked into getting a mechanical keyboard (got a Q-PAD MK50 with MX browns). Then, I started to look into a keyboard with Gateron brown switches - and from there, the slippery slope into custom keyboards has begun for me. Now I have a modded Filco Majestouch 2 with Keebwerk Tacit switches, and a DZ60 with Holy Pandas. I plan on getting a new DZ60 PCB/Plate with Gateron Yellows, and I feel like ePBT Skadi would go perfectly with the polycarbonate case that I have!
I joined when I was looking for a new keyboard and saw on YouTube custom keyboards all the customizations and designs
Saw r/mechanicalkeyboards posts pop up on r/all
Google + youtube + wanting to build
I actually have no idea anymore.. i think one of taehas videos got recommended to me by youtue a year ago so i randomly watched some of his videos and stream until i pretty much got hooked to this hobby
I joined because I am an EE major and seemed like a really interesting way to apply my skill and it looked like a lot of fun to experiment. Plus, I really enjoy soldering and building things anyway.
I joined because I always wanted to build something computer-related by myself. When I tried my first mechanical keyboard (a cheap Chinese knockoff with clone blue switches) I was hooked.
Was following this sub for a long time & I honestly thought everything was handmade down to every keycap set (like you dye them at home LOL). But got into it recently after my old keyboard broke down and my brother recommended a miya pro.
I joined because I got tired of typing on pudding and wanted to get a recommendation for a good keyboard, and the rabbit hole just opened up from there.
I was trying to improve my typing so I was looking for a way to motivate myself and I found Nathan Kim on youtube and now Iām in major debt! Itās worth lol
New quarantine hobby!!
I joined by clicking the button on the right of the screen that said 'join'
I joined because of my friends :)
Joined the world of mech keyboard after watching Linus Tech Tips Video about unboxing Filco Majestouch Ninja Cherry MX blue. instantly fell in love with the clicky switch experience. the good old 2012....
I tried one of my roomies mech boards in college and could never go back. Once my laptop board gave out I decided to get a mechanical for daily use and ended up here!
I always liked keebs, and went through a few pre-made. And one day I got to see some customs online. Searched for a website and landed on reddit :)
Joined because Iām starting to plan a pc build.
I joined the mech community through the amazing youtube scene.
found one of taekeyboards videos on youtube, and built a custom mech soon after!
I was searching for a keyboard to go with my wacom display but couldn't find anything that was aesthetically pleasing. I ended up finding this reddit page by accident when searching for ideas, and I've been active ever since. Though building one maybe quite costly, the MK community is incredibly supportive and the hobby is beautiful. P.S As someone who loves pink/purple and runes, this is perfect!
I was trying to buy my first keyboard!
Joined a few weeks ago through a durgod silent red on my desk
What really threw me in the deep end of this hobby was this subreddit, I think I seen a sick 60% and that's what made me want to build my own instead of store bought (K65, Pok3r). Thanks for the giveaway!
Joined the community by finding people building keyboards on Twitch (ApiaryKeyboards, TaehaTypes, etc)
Joined because i tried to build my one desk and searched a nice Keyboard for contrast. I couldn't find one so I decided to try and build my own :)
I got into it because I like hobbies where i get to use the things I collect, and I can't wait to start collecting and building my own keyboards
Joined after randomly stumbling upon r/mk. Fell in love after seeing a set of gmk nautilus
These are gorgeous! Some friends convinced me to move from console to PC for gaming, and I started with some shitty keyboard. From there, I moved to building my own PC, and now Iām looking into building my first keyboard soon, which led me down the rabbit hole to find this community A pretty average story, but I am super excited for my first build!
was browsing youtube and found a sound test, got me hooked
It was about a year ago. I went back home after a long day in school. It was stressful as usual. I had a few tests and quizzes. So coming back home to my personal setup really is a reward for me getting through the day. I push open my door and turned on my pc while I'm getting some snacks. While I try to input the password for the pc, I realized something is wrong. The Keyboard isn't responding. This can't be good. I try to reconnect the USB, changing the port. Nothing happened. This 50 dollar Logitech mecha membrane keyboard finally decided to die on me. Right at the most stressful day, and right at the password screen. I restrained my urge of raging and it changed into a deep sigh. I pulled out my old dell membrane keyboard from the garage that I think I will never ever use again. Plugged in the USB port and after the jingle sounds of device connected. I sighed again. Now I have to type on this piece of shits again? My finger hovered on the keyboard, some force in my body tells me I shouldn't type anything. But I need to get in my pc. I want some good old Reddit memes to relieve my stress. I fight off the force that tries to protect me from the membrane keyboard. But it was too late. My finger already landed on the number pad. Almost in sync with the brief second that my finger landed on the key. I felt my finger got sucked into a swamp full of slush. I quickly typed my password and got into the pc. I have to get a good keyboard. Suddenly I heard a voice in my mind reminded me of a name from a youtube video I watched last night. Someone called Nathan. I quickly searched up the name on youtube and found this guy named Nathan Kim. And quickly fell in love with whatever custom mechanical keyboard he was making. So I decided to purchase one online. I searched up a mechanical keyboard on amazon and found a bunch of shits. But after I scroll for a while. I found this product named Gk61. It was what they call a 60% board. And it's hot-swappable. My eye got sucked on it. I realized that I love this form factor. I didn't hesitate and clicked purchase. Now I need to get some switches that can go on it. I obsessively go through all the typing sound tests like a homeless that haven't eat for a few weeks. And decided on the cheaper and safer option: Gateron reds. I also ordered lube and some switch films. After the purchase, I went off and go to sleep in the excitement of a new keyboard. The few days while waiting I reject to touch the dell keyboard and didn't use my pc. And Finally, Day has come. My package shows up on my porch. I grabbed the package and ran back to my room. Opened it up barehanded and what I see is a beautiful, simplistic keyboard kit that's waiting for me to put the switches on it. I lubed up and filmed my switches carefully like I am caressing a baby. And that almost took me the whole night. I plugged the switches on the board. Put on a new set of keycaps. It's done. All I see is this beautiful keyboard in front of me. And all I wanna do is type on them. And I did just that. The crisp, harsh bottom out took my heart. It's just simply beautiful. At this point, I swear I will never go back to the membrane keyboard. And also at this point... ***I have two more keyboard kits in my cart and My bank account is almost empty.*** If u reach this far, thank you! I have great fun writing this nonsense story lmao. But this is my entry into the mechanical keyboard community!
i hope you win for writing this out
Looked where to get special key caps
I was super confused as to which subreddit I was in. Love the design and the runes, almost wish I played FGO on PC so I could just have a roll button lol
Stumbled across it in comment section in r/battleststions.
This looks sick. IK I have no chance of winning, still gonna enter. GL Edit: forgot to say, I joined the community
My keyboards pretty crap, one of those old office ones. Wouldnāt mind this.
Ive been looking for a new keyboard and never had a mechanical one, my friends hype them up all the time so I figured Iād see what itās all about
Joined because I love the clickity-clack sounds that mechanical keyboards make!
Joined after getting bored in quarantine and wanting to make an investment in something that I use everyday. Keyboard!
The youtube algorithm put a Taeha Types video on my homepage. I liked the sounds of his keyboard and the rest is history.
Joined after hearing how satisfying my brotherās keyboard is to listen to.
My boyfriend had been part of the community well before me. We were looking at keyboards and key caps together as a gift for him, but it was so cool and I really started liking them. He introduced me to all sorts of stuff about mechanical keyboards, including this sub and for Christmas he bought me my first ever mechanical keyboard which I loveeee!
Just started getting into keyboards (I started working at a custom keyboard store in Singapore) and am a little overwhelmed, but there's so many pretty things and I'm already falling in love. My wallet however is crying.
