=============================================

thus the title because I am lazy to separate this into two different posts -- //shot

Hey, everyone!!! Merry Christmas!!! :D

Didn't exactly had any sort of celebration for Christmas today coz I was busy settling some other stuff. But, since there's 12 days of Christmas, so I shall properly celebrate it in the 11 days to come. XD

As for now, I would like to update on Comic Fiesta 2013 as well as another special post about the one cosplayer who came down to Malaysia from Thailand for Comic Fiesta. :3 If you have been following my Twitter and Facebook lately, yes, it is Zeasonal. XD

Reason for updating today of all days is because my busy working schedule will resume as usual from tomorrow onwards, so...yea .w.

To sum up everything as of now, pics are mostly camwhore pics because I was pretty much lazy and tired to go around and meet everyone~ QuQ 

Day 1 began with me rolling to Zea's hotel and picking her and the rest up before we rolled to the event venue. Upon reaching there, we were COMPLETELY STUNNED with the amount of people there. Trust me when I said I sort of regretted buying the entry tickets because I went in to the halls for only a short while on both days. QuQ

Anyways, all of us finished preparing at about...almost 3pm? And we went into the hall at about 3.30pm. HAHAHHAHAHA *dies*

And yes, we died eventually coz the amount of people in the hall just -- idk what to say. I COULD'VE DIED IN THERE IF I WASN'T BE CAREFUL. D8

Now, for pics from day 1. XD 

Note that all pics will be posted in no particular order because screw it. |D

All photos are mine unless stated. :3

Dear Leena,
WE ARE FOREVER DERP. 8D

I also went in to the event hall ahead of my gang because I had to attend a "wedding" uhuhuhuuuu~ XD

Happy Newly Weds...? OvO)/

Together with the duo that drove many fangirls nuts with their love for each other :3 (wait wat)

Bean, please stop being so bishie.

...actually, please don't stop, so that I can have something to fangirl over whenever needed. 8D

Miharu babehhhhh Y U SO ADORABLE :3

Finally bumped into Haru-neechan!!! :3

After 1 3/4 days of Comic Fiesta, WE FINALLY SEE EACH OTHER. GOODNESS ME.

QuQ

Chillin' in the food court below after a crazy day. I swear I was unable to go anywhere after that because I was too tired .w.

Already removed my wiggu here .w.

Together with the pretty pretty Shin~ :3

Another new friend from Singapore, Wei Lin!! :D

I've met two very bishie Makoto in two days. I am a happy fangirl now. ;v;

AAAAAAA regretted removing my wig so early~ oAo

Zea cosplayed as VOCALOID's Kaito Setsugetsuka version on day 2. It's one of my most fave cosplays by her. :3

SO, for Comic Fiesta 2013 day 2, I also did a special (noob) EruRi shoot for Bean and Miharu. :3

Of course they will be having a much more professional shoot for next year, but for CF this year it was kinda for the fun of it only. XD

Photos below are taken using my pitiful Nokia N8 then pitifully edited by the noob me. OuO

Erwin: SUSUMEEEEEE~!!!!!

Levi: ......wat

Reiner be derping at the back LOLOLOLLLL

My favorite shot of the day. 8D

Tsundere heichou. PFFFTTT.

Okay, so I have a video that I have recorded on day 2. This is specially for all EruRi supporters. XD

Although the video itself is kinda short, but hey, IT'S INTENSE TOO. OvO

WATCH IT. WATCH. IT. DEMMIT.

====================================

And that's about it for Comic Fiesta 2013 for me!! :3

I didn't really get to buy anything from the event this time around. All I got were my preordered Erwin x Levi badges and Yuegene Fay's poster. :D

I also got quite a precious collection of coscards too this time, but since I'm so lazy to take photos of them, so...yea. .w.

This post is basically reported from my point of view, so it may had been a different experience from you? XD but this was how Comic Fiesta was like for me this year. The event itself was awesome as always, and with the right people, the experience will always be awesome!! :3

I will be making a special post next within the next few days (while I still have the mood to blog more~ owo) to tell on my experience bringing Zea around KL for the past one week. XD

It had been one hell of a roller coaster ride for myself the past week, but hey, it's the memories that counts. :D

As of now, I wish to go to bed early because I just came back from sending her off at the airport.

See you guys soon!

Til then,

XOXO,

-YUKINO-

17 Dec 2013: The Real Countdown Begins

Current mood: MEHHH

Song playlist:
|| Let It Go - Idina Menzel
|| Us Against the World - Westlife
|| Pomp and Circumstance - Umetora

=======================================

As I am typing these very words, it is officially just another FOUR DAYS til Comic Fiesta 2013 happens. Seriously, time had been passing by so fast, none of us barely knew it went past us.

Technically speaking, I am (sort of) ready for it in terms of costume preparations and all. but as for my current physical and mental status...I AM NOT SURE IF I AM READY FOR IT.

Like everyone else who will be attending the event, I am excited! Very much, actually. I am currently planning out my to-do list for both days based on the given schedule and the map of the venue. It is pretty messed up even for me as of now, but I will try to manage. @@

As of now, my target for the event is the Cosplay Forum (Day 1, 4.30pm - 6pm at the Panel Room), the autograph sessions, the doujin booths and the special event we will be doing on day 2. With so much going on at one go, I actually forgot to slot in some time for on-event photoshoot~ @3@ shall revamp the whole thing...soon. _(:3 

*le slacking*

ANYWAYS.

Currently in my list of pre-ordered things are....mainly EruRi (Erwin x Levi) stuff. Hueeeeee.

I am looking forward to be able to win some freebies during the event though! (hopefully I can win, that is...)

If I am able to prepare them in time, I might be giving out little bags of sweets to those who come and see me or maybe I'll just give them out on random. 8D

I am really looking forward to meet all my friends again as well as with new friends whom I've planned to meet up with. :D

And again, the picture above shows my cosplans for Comic Fiesta this year!! :3

Day 1: Kuroko Tetsuya, Teiko school uniform version

Day 2: Sheryl Nome, Sayonara no Tsubasa version

I'd be lying if I say I am not nervous to cosplay both these characters. Nevertheless, I shall ganbatte!!! *^*)9

...and I am very much lying if I said I am ready for this.

I AM NOT READY AT ALL. QAQ

But, I'm still looking forward to it no matter what. :3

Busy week for me starts this Wednesday til probably next Monday. I PRAY THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE ALL THESE SHITS.

I will update my blog on the report for both days when I get the time after the event. XD I probably will have to wait for pics and all, but I shall try my best to update it. :)

To all fellow readers who will be there for Comic Fiesta 2013, hope to see you guys there!! :D

Love,

09 Dec 2013: My Cosplay Journey -2009 til now-

Current mood: I'm feeling kinda tired, though not too much. Just felt that I haven't updated my blog in a ridiculously long time. With Comic Fiesta around the corner, I might as well update~ OuO)/

===================================

Haven't updated in such a long time, so with Comic Fiesta 2013 just around the corner, just thinking "Hey, why not update le blog? 8D"

......

actually, not really. |D

With Comic Fiesta 2013 just around the corner, I was thinking: It's time for a Tuesday throwback :3

I may or may not know exactly what I am bullshitting in here as I am actually pretty tired right now as I type these very words @u@

Also, this post MAY be kinda messed up as I am typing most of these based on memories and things I can remember the most, but most importantly, it is as sincere as you can read. Everything written here is typed out sincerely from my heart. :3

It will be including my life as an otaku and cosplayer in general, but I will focus more on Comic Fiesta~ XD

I had been pulled into the world of anime and manga since I was only 7, with Card Captor Sakura as the first anime I have ever watched wwwwww

Since then, I grew to love anime and manga even more, watching many interesting and awesome titles as I grew up.

2009 was the starting point of my life where I got to know what "cosplay" is, as in, the time I really got to see how cosplay is like in real life. I got to attend my first ever ACG event back then (ACGC 2009) and honestly, I was excited and practically spazzing all over the place as I got to see so many of my favorite characters brought to life. 

I never took much interest into wanting to become a cosplayer myself, until I was in form 5.

It all began when I was asked by a friend of mine, Hanatsu, to join a Vocaloid group photoshoot that she had organized. I was reluctant at first, but I thought to myself: "Hey, why not try it out? It'll be kinda and sorta interesting to be wearing wigs and costumes, putting on makeup and making myself look like the characters I love." 

So, I agreed to it.

Back then, it could pretty much be considered that I was a fricckin weaboo. Sincerely speaking, I thought cosplay = putting on wig and makeup, not necessarily needing the costume especially if it is Vocaloid. This thought of mine kinda lasted til early 2011.

...no, I am not joking. I really was THAT weaboo back then. OTL

I also got to attend C2AGE 2010, and at that time, I had managed to get to know a couple of experienced cosplayers in the scene through the Comic Fiesta forums (I used to be an active CF forumer until I went to National Service. After that, I was kinda...meh |D) and I got to hang out with them. I got even more fascinated with cosplay by then. Everything was so exciting and I was really going nuts over all my favorite characters being brought to life.

Along the way, I got to attend more smaller events, but I didn't really had much memory of them coz most of them are pretty boring and not many of my friends attended those events, so yea~ .w.

And now, to Comic Fiesta.

Comic Fiesta 2010 was the first ever Comic Fiesta that I got to attend. I was supposed to attend Comic Fiesta 2009, but I didn't had the chance coz, myeh, parents didn't allow OTL.

Back then, Comic Fiesta was already considered to be at a whole different level compared to the other events in Malaysia. I was seriously surprised with the amount of visitors and the event itself. It was completely awesome!! Comic Fiesta 2010 was also the time I got to collaborate with a lot of really really good cosplayers from KL and Penang in the Fujoshi High School group. I also got to participate in my first evenr official photoshoot. I was certainly overjoyed with that! 

I got to know more friends from Comic Fiesta and boy, I was left in awe after the entire event was over. XD

Some pics from Comic Fiesta 2010.....

HAHA OMG THIS WAS TOTALLY A PHAIL COSPLAY OF MINE. BLACK HISTORY. *rolls into a hole*

Do I look bishie enough to you? DO I? DO I????

*kicked*

Comic Fiesta 2011 was the revolutionary turn for Comic Fiesta, in my opinion, as the event switched to KL Convention Center as its venue. I was pretty much excited as heck to attend Comic Fiesta for the second time. Maybe the only problem with the whole event was crowd control as they had only taken two halls back then and the ever-so-annoying KLCC security staff who did not do their job as how we expected them to do it, but as I always say, with the right people to hang out with, any event can be fun. It certainly was fun and entertaining. XD managed to meet up with many old and new friends and as always, enjoyed it to the max!

Shine bright like a diamond *w*

Pretty much another year of cosfuck, coz heck, the wig ain't even right ;w; 

But I am still thankful to my fellow group members :3 thank you, Haru nee-chan for organizing this group~ *hugs*

I also got to collaborate with Singaporean photographer, Jeremy, for my (pretty) awesome on-the-spot shoots. Thank you so much. :)

And then it was Comic Fiesta 2012. It was another year of awesomeness as the event took up FOUR halls this time round. A whole load more of awesome stuff were in our favor and more people attended! Met up with even more friends, old and new, and got a lot of loots. XD it was also one of the event I enjoyed the most in the whole of 2012 thanks to the emcees. (BATANG FIESTA, ifyouknowwhatimeancoughcough)

I realized that I have improved even more by that time. I got to debut an official and actual version of Hatsune Miku and I was in love with my costume. I was glad many people liked it too wwwwwww

One sad thing though was that I didn't get to take much picture for CF2012....and I don't even remember why QuQ (maybe it's the fact that I stay glued at the stage area most of the time OTL)

...though I did get to take more selcas with others :D

Taken by: Julia Lim

Happy sisters are happy :'D my dear imouto, Mae Yen, took this selca :D

And then year 2013 came along.

I must say, this year had been quite a year. Not including my life in general (focusing more on my life as part of the ACG community), so many ups and downs happened, with most of the issues/happiness/sadness/anger incidents updated in my Facebook and Twitter but not here. Whatever things that had happened throughout this year will not be enough to be expressed through blogging alone, so whatever. Sad and depressed events or incidents have been long forgotten whereas sweet and happy memories are cherished. 

Comic Fiesta 2013 will be the closing event for all Malaysian ACG event goer, and I can really bet that everyone that will be attending are as excited as I am. I know I am pretty much nervous and all, but heck, it's COMIC FIESTA. I'm sure most of you have already seen or read about all the special guests who will be attending the event this year. (I AM SCREAMING INTERNALLY AS I TYPE.)

SIX WHOLE DAMN HALLS THIS YEAR. And with the announcement of the special guests for this year, it's gonna be a packed year again this year~ @u@ maybe even more than ever...oAo

A side note: I'm pretty sure this year will be the year of the Shingeki no Kyojin, Dangan Ronpa and Free! cosplays~ huehuehue~

Comic Fiesta 2013 will be my fourth time attending CF, and although I didn't started as part of the ACG community from way back then, four years (as an otaku; three and a half year as a cosplayer) were enough to make me feel that the whole community is like a family to me. From 2009 until now, everyone that I got to be friends with, regardless of whether or not we are still close now, had played/are playing/will play an important role in my life.

To everyone who had been or are still a part of me in my continuing journey down this road, I sincerely thank each and every one of you. Regardless of how big or small your presence had made a change in my life, I pretty much owe you guys for making me who I am today.

With the clock ticking, counting down the seconds and minutes til the arrival of the big day, I see a lot of us going nuts and panicking over last minute preparations...don't worry, I am too. QuQ

Since I am pretty much out of ideas on what else to crap about....here are my cosplans for Comic Fiesta this year~ :3

||Day 1||

Kuroko Tetsuya, Teiko School uniform version

Most likely you will see me derping around the doujin booth area. 8D 

||Day 2||

(the one cosplan that I do not wish, wish, wish to screw up at all~ QAQ)

Sheryl Nome, Sayonara no Tsubasa version

Trust me when I say I am TOTALLY NOT READY FOR THIS CHARACTER.

The seconds are ticking, inching us closer to the day that we all look forward to.

To everyone who will be attending Comic Fiesta 2013, let's all enjoy it to the max, shall we?

Much love,
