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

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

> Scarlet Knight - Nana Mizuki
> Love You Like A Love Song - Selena Gomez
> Just Be Friends - Luka Megurine

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

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)

19 Nov 2011: Alone again, but not lonely~

Current mood: DAMN SLEEPY~ =w=


Currently listening to:
> Back to December - Taylor Swift
> Scarlet Knight - Nana Mizuki
> Inori ~You Raise Me Up~ - Lena Park
> Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO ft. Lauren Bennett & Goon Rock
> Take Over - Mizz Nina ft. Flo-Rida

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

I always knew in my mind and my heart that this day would finally arrive. And I always have been wondering and imagining how does it feel like, how would I react, how would I accept it in every way.

And when it finally ACTUALLY arrived, things weren't as how I thought it would be.

Yeah, I'm talking about me being single again.

And yes, it's totally different from what I actually imagined it would be.

I always thought that breaking up with a guy would be hurtful and I will be crying my eyes out til I could cry no more. I always thought that I would go through depression and think of ending my life just like that.

But I was wrong.

I was actually much happier, in a sense that although we are no longer in a relationship, but we are still happy to be friends.
At least that's better than having to tolerate a rather annoying boyfriend (an honest POV of mine, thank you very much~ :D)

At least right now that I'm single again, I'm not lonely, as I have loads of other things in life that can help me forget about this problem. :)

For example, my family, friends, and my cosplay. :)
They always help me get through the day.

and speaking of day, it's damn LATE LATE LAAATEEE at night, I need sleep, and I need to go to work tomorrow.

Starbucks for the WIN!! :D

Good night, fellow netizens~ :)
(AND I MISS BLOGGING!!!! o[>w<]o)

17 Oct 2011: Silence's Confessions

Mood: 50/50. I have my reasons to be happy. And I have my reasons to be extremely angry now. >:/

Currently listening to:
> Double Lariat - Luka Megurine
> Glow - Celestial Chorus (cover version, original by Miku Hatsune APPEND DARK)
> Time Well Spent - Tom Felton

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

Honestly, I know most of you who knows me in real life would know that I'm someone who rarely confesses what I really feel on the inside. (not just feelings for someone, but problems and all~ =___=) Except for when I'm with my besties, but sometimes I don't even tell them what's my problem.

So instead, I turn to Facebook and Twitter, in hopes that someone's words would help me ease my problems.

And sometimes when things doesn't turn for the better, I would resort to my trustee ol' blog of mine. :)

A place for me where everyone can read and hopefully understand what I'm trying to get off of my chest. :/

For one instance, I seriously don't understand why my mom loves to compare my previous and current workplace. It's as if she's condemning Starbucks or something, seeing it as a place where I don't get paid for working there.

And she obviously just doesn't understand the reason why I quitted my work in BarBQ Plaza and chose Starbucks instead of others.

I quitted my job from BarBQ Plaza, not because I think the workload there is too much for me. Instead, I quitted from there because the kind of tasks they offer to me is just unsuitable for me. Not only it's unsuitable, but it's also where I had to do like, 2 or 3 tasks on my own and the others won't even bother to help me. The seniors are just plain cocky. They just scream at us juniors in hoping that we would finish up their work for them. Okay, so I'm not saying that because I hate them or anything. I don't hate them, but it's just the truth in everyway. Honestly, they see me as someone who doesn't talk back or scold back at anyone when they ask me to do this do that every second and another. I honestly respect them, really, but screaming at us, asking us to do this do that is just not the right way to deal with us who barely worked there for a week or two.

If compared to Starbucks, it's completely different. Though we newbies do make mistakes, but they don't scold us or humiliate us in front of the customers like in BarBQ Plaza. Instead, the partners in Starbucks will help us correct our mistakes. They don't scold  us for no necessary reasons. :/

One more reason I resorted to Starbucks was because the approach to the customers used is WAYYYYY different than in BarBQ Plaza. One of the reason is because in BarBQ Plaza, I'm faced with a challenge of having to speak in Cantonese with the customers.

It's not that I don't want to learn to speak in Cantonese, but I just can't cope with it. ;w;

Starbucks, to me, is a more suitable working environment for me in every way. The pay for part time waitress in BarBQ Plaza may be more than in Starbucks, but honestly, I love it in Starbucks because, well, it suits me really well. :)

And since I'm still in the part time position, so I'm actually quite free to arrange my weekly schedule as I wish in the condition that I work for at least 4 days a week.

And right now, given that it's semester break for most of the part time partners, the schedule is currently full and they've got no where to fit me in except starting from this Thursday.

When I told this to my mom, she was furious and said that maybe they didn't want me to work with them anymore and I should've just stayed working at BarBQ Plaza.

HELLO????

I can't continue working at BarBQ Plaza because you don't know that I was THIS CLOSE to be in need of a back surgery if I didn't quitted from there. My back was paining like hell because of the almost-13-hour-a-day nonstop of painstaking work and I couldn't even tell you a word about it because I know that you'll just say this back to me: This is how life works. You'll have to suffer at first before you can succeed in the end. A little pain like this won't hurt.

I know that you tend to have backaches and all like how I felt back when I was still working in BarBQ Plaza, but if you were to be in my shoes, running around the place like a mad chicken for the whole day, from 10am-12am, I bet you would rather stay at home. :/

Nevertheless, I will prove to you that choosing Starbucks as my work place was a right decision and I will prove to you that they are not as selfish as you think they are. I have a right to decide what's right for my life when the time comes, and I'm reckoning that the time is now.

I hope that my mom and dad is able to understand this and not demotivate me with their words. Honestly, whatever they said to me today just made me want to go back to work even more, but unfortunately, for today, they can't insert me into any part of the schedule, so yea. TTwTT

Anyhows, I just want all of you to know that I never regretted quitting from BarBQ Plaza and choosing Starbucks as my working place for the long run, because I believe that Starbucks IS the place where I can truly see where my potential in business lies. :)

(and honestly, Starbucks is from America, and its line in business is bigger, so why compare it to something so small like BarBQ Plaza? It's not like anyone from America knows it anyway. =n=)

Okay, I'm done with my rage....

at least for now~ XD

I'm thinking that since I won't be called in for work from today til Wednesday, I wanna go hangout at Starbucks with my friends and just, you know, support me SBUX partners, because they're one more reason why I truly believe I can be working there for the long run. ^w^

I see myself even choosing Starbucks over being a civil engineer as my career. I don't know why, but that's just what I'm seeing from now on. *_____*
Oh well, but we'll never know where life will lead us, right?

And I've learnt to be grateful. Grateful that Starbucks is willing to accept me as part of them to make their experience for the customers better. ^____^

Okay, honestly, my rage ends here....

tired from being angry the whole day~ @@

So, I'm gonna recide my anger today by doing something else now.

See y'all soon, fellow netizens!!! <3

Til then...

and you should too~ ;)

16 Oct 2011: Time Well Spent is All I Need... ;)



awesome enough...

TOM FELTON SINGS!!! <3

And surprisingly, he sounds real sexy~ ;)

And I actually pictured this:

After Draco Malfoy graduated from Hogwarts, he decided to kick magic aside and become a singer!!! *w*

.....okay....

so maybe that won't work in making you smile or laugh..|D

But do enjoy his song~

(and I do wish he's singing this to me, eheheee~ >w< <3)

I have no idea why, but after watching "Harry Potter & The Half-blood Prince" just recently, I'm back into the fandom world of Harry Potter again. And I also rolled around and about in my house while clutching my Harry Potter novel. |D

(does that sound like a good thing to you...? O____O)

Anyhows, will be going back to work tomorrow, so I gotta go sleep now.

NITEZ!!! <3 *hugs everyone*

05 Oct 2011: Ura-omote Lovers shoot, DONE!! :D

Mood: Is not in a really good mood, coz just when I was happy to want to go to the Starbucks outlet where I work for a nice tea time to relax, IT RAINS. >:/ but I have other reasons to be happy as well. XD

Currently listening to:

> More Kiss - Fairies

> Song For You - Fairies

> Taboo Lambada - DON OMAR
> Next 2 You - Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber

> Ai Kotoba - Miku Hatsune

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

Hey y'allz!!! :D

Sorry for not updating my blog for a really long time even when I had my day off. >.<

The last time I had a day off while working in Starbucks, I commenced my original "Ura-omote Lovers" photoshoot. >w<

I commenced the photoshoot during the 5th Japanese Language Festival on 24th September that was held in my previous high school~ :D since it was in my previous high school, so I thought that it's gonna be easy since I know places around to take some really nice pics~XD

who knew it became really hard to do the photoshoots with all the 'fans' come chasing after us to have a picture taken with us. It costed us a lot of time and in the end we didn't really got as much shots as I wanted. =3= BOOOO~~

But well, among the shots we took, 95% of it was REALLY REALLY great. :D

also thanx to Hanatsu's awesome makeup skills and her props. :D And also thanx to Michiru for her growing talent in cosplay photography. <3

so, without any further delay, here are the shots for my original version of Miku Hatsune's "Ura-omote Lovers"!!!!!! OwO/ <3

*all pics will be in random order so please don't be in headache-d mode when you see them~ |D

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

 

"Innocence is what I portray best, and it's what makes me makes you guilty..."

;)

A lot of my friends said that this was the best shot of the day~ O3O

do you agree? XD

Shot to make my hair looks as if it is flowing = FAIL. OTL

"Look through this mask, and you will find another side of me.

Dare you do that?"

Ignorance is my new best friend~ :)
(and yea, ignore that brown-coloured bag at the back there lol~ |D)

"Innocent little temptress."

;)

"Come to me, and I shall show you another world..."

"A world that only belongs to you and I...."

"A world which I long for..."

"A kiss on the hand maybe quite continental, but diamonds are a girl's best friend~"

;)

A lovely blue-coloured origami rose that I bought from the festival. :3

"I woke up from a dream with a weird feeling in my head..."

"Which side of me do you want to see?"

"Innocent? Cruel? Seductive? Your choice."

"I can be bubbly as well."

"Or are the both of use just confused?"

"I turn back to see you, but...do I expect to see you there?"

"I want to love you..."

"...love you more..."

"NOT."

"A secret to keep...shhh..."

"Or do you want me to tell you..."

"Which side of me do you see?"

"Come to me then."

"Or should I just remove my mask and show you who I really am?"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here's my fave part of the shoot...

The jumping shots!!!! 8D <3

It was tiring for me to have to jump over & over & over (AND over) again to get ONE perfect shot. But in the end, all of it was PERFECT.

And those jumpings were really a great workout....I guess... XD

Blurry legs shot~ O3O

Looks as if I'm sitting in the middle of the air... XD

\

Half of my head is gone!!! QAQ

Running in mid air, hehehh~ *w*

Looks like a seventeen Magazine shot to me~ OwO

AND AT LAST!!!
The image that I wanted~ <3<3

"Love you...today...tomorrow...and ALWAYS..."

:)
