Current mood: I AM DAMN SLEEPY. But I don't wanna sleep~ |D

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

Ooookayyy, so before I start on my report on Comic Fiesta 2011 day 2 report, I just want to say a few words.....

I AM VEEEEEEERRRRYYYYYYYY SORRYYYYYYY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO UPDATE MY BLOG FOR SUCH A LONG TIMEEEEEE!!!!! QAQ

Being busy with work and all, plus with my stupid idea of going out while I'm on my day off made me unable to update my blog. QWQ

Right, so here I am, FINALLY being able to sit down in front of my PC (and yeaa, NOT FOR LONG ANYWAY~~ OTL) so I decided to update on my blog a little~ ;w;

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

Okay, so, day 2 was, as everyone said, BETTER, I really mean, WAYYYYYYYY BETTER than day 1, so all of us definitely had more fun on day 2 compared to day 1.

The proof?

Well, I'll show it to you in the form of pictures below. XD

For day 2, I cosplayed as Miku Hatsune Himitsu Keisatsu version (yes, again~) but for day 2, I teamed up with a whole Himitsu Keisatsu team (except that we're missing out on the Kagamine twins... ;w;) and at least I wasn't lonely and I made new friends~ :3
Photo quality for day 2 report is MUCH MUCH better as they're taken by Michiru's awesome camera~ *w*

behold....

THE AWESOME VOCALOID HIMITSU KEISATSU TEAM OF COMIC FIESTA 2011!!!! 8D

Miku Hatsune: Yukino @ yours truly /flips hair

Kaito Shion: Naito Ryuu

Luka Megurine: Joanne Lee

Meiko Haigo: Haruhi Syaoran

Gumi: Hanatsu

Gakupo Kamui: Alex Ming

Kiyoteru Hiyama: Zul Loveless

(cosplayer names are based on their FB names~ :3)

So yea, I'm the Miku of the group. 8D

But the one who formed the group was none other than the lovely Meiko, Haruhi Syaoran, who happens to be my beloved oneechan~ <3 so all credits to her for successfully handling the group.

The group would look more nice and colourful if only the Kagamine twins could join us orz ;w;

I initially wasn't supposed to be part of the group, actually. But the group's original Miku had a major bump on the road (I heard them say that her costume went missing upon shipping~ QAQ) so since Hanatsu was part of the group and I happened to cosplay as Miku of the same version, so I volunteered to fill in for the position~ >W<

Oh look, my wig made me look like I'm shining~ OwO |||

btw, do you know that the Kiyoteru of our group is actually the horse head guy from day 1? 8D <3

Looking for something at the distance...at all directions...

soooo exactly where is our target?? =W=||| *facepalm*

ahhh, Meiko ish not ready yet~ OwO

Awkward pose for me is awkward ahaha~ ^w^|||

Lol, we look like we're the Justice League or something orz

Hanatsu and Naito posing for a picca~ :3

Lolol, Naito, why the long face?? :w;

Kiss my gun to shoot you dead...

(lol what kind of caption am I giving?? =W=|||)

Joanne, Alex and Hanatsu. The colourful Justice trio. 8D

Michiru memang smart to take this photo. 8D
I was actually talking to the phone while posing for the photographers. OTL

I was talking to my photographer, Jeremy, if I'm not mistaken. =w=

 

A really nice shot of me by Speedz Low Photography.

Thanx for the pics!!!

My fringe looks extremely messy.

But who's to say it doesn't make my whole look nice? 8D

.

.

.

oh wait, it didn't. |3

ahh well, after this phase was our group unofficial official shoot by Jeremy, which I will update in the NEXT post. :3

after we're done with our short photoshoot, Hanatsu and I, and our gang went off into the KLCC garden to do a duo photoshoot. Ahh well, just to entertain ourselves while we're outside and not wanting to go back inside the packed halls. Ahahahh~

Hanatsu using the camera as her mirror to adjust her wig~ 8D

Photobombing level: Gumi~ 8D

We went back into the hall at about almost 5pm (after Shiomaru finished her performance, that is~ ;w;) because Hanatsu had to head back to her campus and we wanted to go back into Hall 5 to do a final venture around the place.

Got some really nice small stuff and a nice small sketch of chibi D18~ 8D and a KHR yaoi doujin!! XD

later on, when we finally decided to want to leave the place, we said goodbye to a few people. And the person that I want to say goodbye the most to is Malaysia's ACG community's beloved Shiomaru~ :3

Forked out RM30 to buy her Tribute album. Yeaaaa.

BUT TELL YOU WHAT? IT'S WORTH EVERY SINGLE SEN. *O* <3

before leaving the hall, I FINALLY got to snap a pic with her!! >W<

Was really shy to grab a pic with her before this, and this time, I finally got a pic with her. :3

My extremely tired face and messed up look together with the awesome Shiomaru <3 she's cosplaying as an OC from Baskin Robbins~ :)

after we left Hall 5 and walking back to Hall 4 to grab our stuffs and take off my wig, someone saw me and walked up to me and was with this really broad smile looking at me, with hopeful eyes. She asked me: "Do you still remember me? 8D" and while I was trying to collect back memories with a blur look on my face, she then walked away acting disappointed.

With that voice of hers, I immediately knew it was actually...

ABBY AIRI!!!! >W<

Sorry, sweetie, for not being able to recognize you faster on that day. My brain was only half alive back then. ;w;

got to take a pic with her anyhows~ >W<

TADAAA!!! 8D

.

.

.

.

.

oh gawd, was my hair THAT messy back then? o___o|||

and after that it was back home we went.

Everyone was definitely worn out and half dead and all.

But it was worth it, trust me. :)

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

Aite, so, besides getting stuck outside for the whole day and getting squashed inside both halls, most of the time it was really all about knowing how to make the most out of the event in midst of the cramped place and crazy situations.

And with that, you leave with a rather satisfied feeling in you, knowing that you didn't have any regrets going to an event this big held in an iconic venue.

Congratulations to the Comic Fiesta committee for being able to organize my fave ACG event in the venue that I wished for it to be held in. 8D also congrats for being able to prove to the KLCC management on day 2 that y'all are more capable of handling this event. >w<

Congratulations to the KLCC management team for being such an asshole for day 1. =w= *slapped*

and congratulations to the other event in the KLCC hall for being such a good sport and not throwing water bottles at us. XD

either how all of us felt about the event, it's undeniable that Comic Fiesta is getting better by the years. And I hope for this year, it IS going to be DA BOMB.

okay, moving on to the next post, which I doubt I will be able to finish updating by tonight. ;w;

till then, this from me to you......

Yukino wishing everyone a (kinda belated) Nyappie Dragon New Year 2012, Happy Awal Muharram, Happy Thaipusam and Happy Valentines Day to all you human beings out there!!! >W< <3<3

SEE YA!!! :3

10 Jan 2012: Comic Fiesta 2011 REPORT!!!! -part 1-

Mood: 50/50. My throat isn't feeling so good after CF~ TT____TT

(Shiomaru's "a tribute album" is awesome~ *w* if you don't like or don't know her, then you're missing out on all the nice things in life~ O3O)

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

Comic Fiesta 2011 lowered its curtains to end this year's 2-day mega ACG event on the night of 18 Dec 2011 (Sunday), leaving behind a chaotic day 1 overshadowed by a crazily awesome day 2.

Day 1, as everyone knows, is a chaotic day due to its crowd control being managed by the irresponsible KLCC management team. But stereotyping an event by just judging it on one day is just going to make all those who gave up to come for day 2 a tad bit regretful (for those who couldn't come for a GOOD reason, then it's okay~ |D). Day 2 was definitely more controlled, and although this year's 20,000 visitors' target wasn't achieved, but everyone seemed to enjoyed themselves.

As for me, I personally enjoyed both days, though day 1 was too much of a chaos, but I had MY OWN ways to enjoy both days~ LIKE A BOSS~ =w=+)

So, like last year's report, I'm seperating the whole events' report based on several categories into several different posts, just so it looks more organized. XD

(do be reminded that the pics in this posts are damn crappy, so I hereby apologize beforehand. ;w;)

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

Okay, so for day 1, I woke up at 7am to get ready for the big day. |D Feeling reallllllll sleepy yet nervous and excited at the same time, I was shivering all the way to KLCC. XD

Laid out my pwetty costume on my bed. :3 this is the dress part of the costume. wearing the jacket at the venue later on. >W<

My "luggages" that I lugged all the way to KLCC. =W=

We then left the house at about 9am. Dad sent us all to the LRT station.

Damn shit late train is damn shit late, but let's not discuss on that part.

So we rode the LRT to the Masjid Jamek station to interchange to the Gombak line.

Went into the train, not bothering to look at which line we took, until suddenly I realized that we boarded the wrong line (MAJOR ORZZZZZZ)

We quickly went down at the next station and switched lines. Then we finally got ourselves to KLCC~ QwQ <3 (oh, and there were already several cosplayers in the train as well, so that's how I knew we were in the right train~ |D)

Then we FINALLY REACHED KLCC!!!! QWQ *tears of epic joy is epic*

KLCC was already packed by the time we reached there~ @@ and the first thing we did when we arrived was go to the toilet. (trust me, you don't have a single second to go to the toilet once you're changed into your costume. An experience I've faced so many times before. FML~)

Then we finally went into the hall~

my expectations for this year was really high, but when I arrived in the hall, it was then I realized that my expectations were....NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT IT WAS. o______o

nothing compared to what I imagined is said in the picture below.

.

.

.

.

.

There were already THIS MUCH people at 10.30am. @@

WORSE THAN BACK IN 2010.

OTL

The ticket booth, so innocent. ;w;

Okay, so skipping the part where I go: "WTF IS THIS SHIT??? WHY IS THE LINE FOR THE TICKET LIKE SIAL THIS YEAR???? LAST YEAR WAS NOTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!!" and then I realized that it's COMIC FIESTA 2011 for goodness sake. =w=

So, I managed to skip the line and had to let my two sisters wait in the line coz I headed straight to the two-day ticket counter. (same trick I used last year, derp~ =W=)

met up with my dear imouto, Mae Yen, and stayed with her as the both of us did makeup and preparations for our characters together (although she did left me later on coz she got her pre-ordered tickets~ TTwTT)

and it was then I realized that fake lashes are hard to put on without a helping hand of someone else.

(okay, random shit. MOVING ON~)

After getting our tickets, we proceeded on to get into Hall 5, but thanx to the crapshit KLCC management, it took us 20 minutes to finally get into the damn hall. No doubt, it was CRAZY. @@

After walking in there for a while, said hi to a few peeps, we then proceeded to go out and eat since we havent eaten anything YET.

And as planned, we chose to eat at Starbucks. :3

Funny to have to walk into the place with all those foreigners looking at me like I'm all dressed up for a circus or something, but WTH. I just walked in like a boss. 8D

Ordered our stuff, and the barista at the POS was pretty surprised when I handed to her my Starbucks partner ID card. XD

and then we took some photos. :D

le me and my stroganoff beef pie & caramel cream frapp while my sis noms on tuna finger sandwich. :3

my wig is pretty messy here coz my wig cap came off while we were walking to Starbucks. ;____;

miss diva slurping on dark mocha frapp~ 8D

after lunch, we proceeded back into hall 4 to fix my falling fake lashes and my messed up wig and took another 30 minutes to get back into hall 5, all in the while missing the whole of Mikuni Shimokawa & Ceui's concert~ QAQ|||

but when we FINALLY MANAGED to get into the hall, we still got to see Ceui performing LIVE IN FRONT OF OUR VERY OWN EYES. OAO <3

Sorry for the bad photo quality, BLAME THE PHONE CAMERA. ;_____;

Mikuni & Ceui performing "Sousei no Aquarion" together~ it was AWESOME. *w*

after the concert, I proceeded to go and meet two of my besties from two different primary schools.

The first one I met was Feresthe, a best buddie of mine all the way back in standard 4 & 5 while I was still studying in SJK (C) Chi Wen in Labuan. He didn't change a bit, only thing was that he grew up A LOT. 8D Sad thing was I didn't take a picture with him. TTWTT sorry dude OTL

Then next was my bestie from my standard 5& 6 life in SJK (C) Khoon Aik in Kangar, Perlis. Her name is Sze Lan, one of the prettiest girl around I ever known. (NO JOKE PEOPLE <3) and I'm really happy to know that she also got herself involved in cosplay (sistas FOREVA~ <3)

and for her, I managed to take a pic with her~ >W<)

Me (and my sucky looks) together with Sze Lan as Louise from Zero no Tsukaima. SHE LOOKS SO DAMN ADORABLE~ <3

walked around the place for a moment, nothing really special to look at coz feeling quite uncomfortable with the people squeezing about. Admired some cosplays for some moment, gets admired and photographed for some moment, and then I saw...

THIS!!!!

COSPLAYING AT ITS FINEST, I must say~ XD (btw, the horsehead happens to be someone that you will see in my next post~ 8D)

le my sister posing for the cam with the cat and the horsey~ she wanted to take a pic with the doggie though~ XD

and the rest of the day practically went down with me doing a private (okay, maybe not SO private) shoot with my photographer from Singapore, Jeremy, who happens to be the official photographer for our Fujoshi High School group back in CF2010. The pics from the photoshoot will be uploaded soon after I managed to download the file he sent to me~ ;w;

Went back home by 7pm (thank God for TouchNGo cards, I now deem them as livesavers~ 8'D) and everyone was DROP DEAD TIRED. @@

Meanwhile back at home, Mickey suddenly took an interest in cosplaying by cosplaying an unusual character.....

A BEAR. 8D

the bear hat was actually bought by my neechan at one of the booths at the price of RM45. Not bad for a really nice hat. 8D

le Mickey posing for the camera. *photogenic style FTW*

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

Ahh, well, that's it for the report on day one. :)

sorry for the delay in posting up the reports. With my busy work schedule and all, it's really hard for me to find a time to sit down in front of the computer the whole day and update my blog. And by reading this, you can expect the next two posts to be arriving late sometime soon. IDK when, but I know it won't be as lightning fast as I used to do last year. ;_____;

anyhows, back to bed for me. Work is on for me again tomorrow.

SEE YA!!!! XOXO~

10 Dec 2011: CF2011 is 7 days to go!!

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

I know I shouldn't be mentioning this to those who are not ready yet, but I just can't help but scream out loud...

COMIC FIESTA 2011 IS IN SEVEN DAYS, PEOPLE...

SEVEN DAYS!!!!!!

The biggest ACG event in Malaysia to date is celebrating its decade year-old awesomeness with loads of awesome activities lined up specially for EVERYONE. And with its decade year-old celebration held in the biggest event venue to date, which is in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (to those of you who don't know where, it's the 'little' convention hall just outside the two tall corns~ |D just so you know~), they're expecting the number of attendees this year to skyrocket all the way up to 20,000 people (or at least that's what I think they're expecting~ XD since last year was already a staggering 11,000+ attendees~)

To find out more about what's in store for this year, check out their promotional video~ :D

Loads of awesome activities this year to look forward to, and plus, special guests are in line up as well!!! >W<

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

Well, of course, for my ownself as well, I'm really excited for the event to finally take place, but at the same time I'm just freaking out. O____O;;;

maybe it's the fact that I'm just a tad bit TOO excited for the event. |D

Though I'm already (quite) ready to face the event, with my cosplays already all set and ready to be showcased, but there's just always this insecure feeling that surrounds me, telling me that I think I'm still missing something and I'm not exactly ready for the event yet. o_____o;;;

I think it's the budget preparation that's making me go all nutso.

and yes, after listing out (I think) almost everything that requires my dimes, I'm feeling a little lost now. >A<

But I hope I can sail through the event smoothly and have fun for the event~ :3

it's only my second time attending Comic Fiesta anyway. And I love it. <3

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

Oh yeaa, as promised, I will tell all of you my cosplay plan. XD

Well, earlier this year I had plans to do about....4 cosplays? For the span of two days of course. But along the way, so many problems aried, so I'm left to do only ONE character for the span of two days.

BUT OF COURSE, I shall not disappoint anyone.

For I shall be doing a rather "grand" version of this character for the first time ever in my 1 year plus cosplay history.

I shall be cosplaying as....

MIKU HATSUNE, HIMITSU KEISATSU @ SECRET POLICE VERSION!!!!

\(>W<)/

first time ever forking out over RM200 for a costume, so I'm hoping that it'll be a hit in the event (just...hopefully~ |D).

The costume I bought was from this particularly famous cosplay shop known as YuYiCos, or YuiCos, or YYCos, the shop famously known for it's awesomely detailed designs of their costumes. <3

So yea, I'll be looking forward to wearing it on CF day one and day two. :3 <3

So, if you will be attending Comic Fiesta 2011, keep an eye out for a straight-haired and YYcos costume Miku Himitsu Keisatsu girl paired with a Gumi on day 1 running around all over the place like an idiot on both days. :3 <3 That shall be yours truly. XD

In return for wanting to take two days off from work to attend Comic Fiesta, I'm gonna have to sacrifice the whole week and work without a day off until after Comic Fiesta. I was thinking of doing a whole load of overtime the whole of next week to make it up for taking two days off for CF. |D

Just give me two days off for CF, and I promise I'll be a nice girl for the rest of my working barista days~ <3

Speaking of which, I has work tomorrow, so I has to go offline now. TTwTT

So here I am, off to offline now. :3

BYE ALLZ!!!! <3

22 Nov 2011: Love you for A Thousand Years...

Current mood: Too tired til I don't feel sleepy or even have the appetite to eat~ :/ hurrmmmm, something's wrong with my body nowadays~ TTATT

Hey there, everyone!! :D
Here I am, at night, blogging again. I have no life, I know orz

But I'm trying my very best to blog as frequent as I can to keep everyone updated with my life (as to those who actually keep up on what I do everyday, I thank you very much~ ;w; <3)

I'm not much of a Twilight novel fan, but I do watch the movie~ :D (I skipped "Eclipse" though.... TTwTT)

and with the new upcoming Saga, Breaking Dawn part one, releasing VERY soon, all Twilight Saga fans are now in the Twilight frenzy mood, which includes yours truly~ ;)

And of course, yours truly is also on the hunt for new nice songs from the Breaking Dawn saga soundtrack, and here I found, AT LAST, an epicly beautiful song, epicly suitable for Breaking Dawn.

A song brought to you by the  one and only awesome Christina Perri~ :3

Maybe there's alot of you out there have already heard of this song, and also loads of you out there who haven't. Nevertheless, it's worth for me to share the song here for you to enjoy and to LOVE.

No need to post lyrics here or else you'll miss out on the awesomeness of the video~ |D

or if you DO want the lyrics, here's the official lyric video of "A Thousand Years"~

the lyric video is equally epic as the original video, so with this video you can enjoy this epic song while singing along to it~ :3

(all videos belong to their respective owners, I OWN NOTHING!!! >n<)

So, well, ENJOY!!!

:D

21 Nov 2011: Iratella Catena @ GAMP 2011

Current mood: Yeah, sleepy, but I CAN'T SLEEP. =w=


Currently listening to:
> Diamond Crevasse ~end of triangle~ - May'n
> Pink Monsoon - May'n
> Scarlet Knight - Nana Mizuki
> Love You Like A Love Song - Selena Gomez

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

Yea, I know, GAMP 2011 was almost one month ago, but since internet at my house was down for a few weeks, so, yea, I only get to upload it NAO~ >W<

This wasn't a planned photoshoot actually. It just so happened that Hanatsu bought the sword from one of the booths there, we both happened to cosplay as Iratella and Hainexia (which, yea, only like a FEW people knows that we were cosplaying as Iratella and Hainexia, and we only happened to cosplay as them because we were kinda lazy to do fancy cosplays. Very troublesome. |D) and we just thought of doing it for fun. :3

and all of a sudden it just turned out to be, well, PRETTY NICE. 8D

Though some looks kinda...weird...but, well, I like 'em. :3

Iratella Catena Vongola Sword photoshoot

GAMP 2011 @ IMU Bukit Jalil

Photographer: Michiru

Make-up: Hanatsu

Props (sword): Hanatsu

Edits: yours truly~ ;)

Mai favourite shot of the day~ >W< <3

Fierce eyes are fierce~ *staressss*

I carry the burden from both the Vongola and the Catena family, and this sword is the symbol of the two family's bond.

MY THIGHS ARE BIG!!!! TTATT

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

at the event venue, they prepared a little small set that is Halloween-themed for us to take some pictures there (note the spider cobwebs on the background~ |D)

Edited these as well to give the studio-like effect~ *w* -proudface.jpg-

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

Well that's about it then. This is the last photoshoot that I'm having until Comic Fiesta 2011. Have to cut down on my photoshoots for now coz i have to work and I don't have time for it~ |D

My new costume has arrived last week~ (THANKS DOUJI!!! >W< )
gonna post up pics of my pwetty new costume when I have the time~


til then,

BYE ALLZ!!!
(and I'm sick again.... TTWTT)
