Post EOY

Long winded post okies XD

Possibly the most rushed cosplay I've done, stressful too since it was with a group of high lvl cosers I'm not too familar with. 

In the end both my tube dress AND wig didn't arrive on time (you can see how rushed the whole thing was haha) called Terenz one day before to borrow the wig and Yifen offered to lend me her black dress. Received both the dress and wig on the day of event itself, damn rush and I had no idea how it would turn out X_X

Got very paiseh wearing that tube dress so I threw my jacket over it.. I mean it's not very very revealing but the last time I wore something so sexy was maybe.... sec 4 graduation night??! and I was the only person in the group without a wig -__- super out of place.

Onward to marina barrage~~ I sat on my husbando's lap throughout the shuttle bus ride LOL

At marina barrage, I put on the wig outside the toilet with no mirror and only went in to check if it looked presentable at the end. The fan was so strong which was good because I was perspiring like crazy after all that running about to collect the wig. But at the same time I was crying inside because I could literally feel the wig getting tangled LOL it was very long, thanks a million to Terenz for lending it to me T_____T without the wig I would have just become a saikang warrior for the rest of the team that day.

I was able to comb out 99% of the tangles that night before washing it the next day hooray!! Proud of myself ;)

Compared to the previous events, more people requested to take photo. I guess the character really does matter. I should probably stop doing obscure versions of characters haha It's not how major the character in the series is, but what I've been cosing has been random versions of characters that are seldom recognized by people. This time, my character has a love interest in the group so yay for couple shots! XD Made more friends and just goofed around.

Something quite scary interesting happened towards the end. Husbando and I were rushing back to the meeting place because the team was leaving. A group of uncles armed with cameras asked the two of us for photos but I very nicely declined since we had to leave already. 

Then I saw 3 Hunter X characters and totally ran up to them to quickly take photos because I would never let myself live it down if I didn't take photos of HxH cosers. I ran so fast that my hat flew off -__- The uncles must have thought: Walao.. this girl say she no time for photos but run so fast to take photos of other ppl..

After that husbando and I brisk walked all the way to the carpark, met up with the rest of the team who then told me that my bag was with the team leader who was still waiting for me inside the venue. Oh my tian, I must have missed him when I rushed out. So I walked back in alone and guess who I met on the way-- the same group of uncles! Ahahaha

Since they asked a second time even after my first decline, I agreed this time round. Really felt like a prey cos this uncle kept saying stuff like "aha this time you can't escape" and other stuff I can't quite remember while taking photos -__- not very comfortable........ He was nice enough to show me a shot that he took (he's like the leader or something HAHA) so I asked if he was going to be uploading them anywhere, sg cafe or some fb photography page. He looked a little surprised and said jokingly(?) "Wah still want to upload arh, you never give me your email address?"

I honestly felt a sudden chill. So you've taken so many photos of the whole event and all with no plans to even upload them anywhere? All for personal enjoyment? Oh.. ok. Almost ran away after thanking them and saying it's ok. 

Finally met the team leader and claimed my bag, husbando showed up too, since we were taking so long OTL I felt much safer with them around.

We parted at the carpark since I was heading to bishan for a friend's birthday party and they were returning to the chalet. Was lazy to walk back to marina barrage toilet to change out and decided to change at the mrt toilet instead. Guess who I met at the crowded busstop: The uncles! HAHAHA 

Oh my tian 哭笑不得 The worst thing was the same leader uncle spotted me and was telling his friends that I was there. I just smiled politely at him and stepped out of their views, hiding behind the advertisement board. Pretended to read an sms and walked back to the barrage.

I don't think the uncles meant any harm lah, they were quite amusing now that I think back but at that point in time I was just being cautious. My green hair was very attention seeking I guess, plus the outfit and bright red lips made me look more mature-- uncle's kind of vege LOL

Changed out at the toilet and totally heaved a sigh of relieve at the benches..... Then I realised I left my precious gun in the cubicle -__- I had also lost the big plastic bag which I used to keep my gun --- shocked some train and bus commuters while carrying it around.. 

Was so damn tired when I finally arrived that the party. Scared my friends some more with my make up (Y) 

The silly pimples on my forehead didn't clear completely.. I abstained from chocolate for nothing! I guess it's time to get proper foundation.. I've been surviving on just concealer and bb cream every single cosplay, not satisfied with the effect on the photos. I'm happy with my eyes in general and eye shadow hehe! Though this time my left lower lashes was sticking out a little =/

The toughest props I've made so far.. painting scarf was a total chore.. And the colour wasn't even obvious in the photos... I've got to repaint it. My greatest take away from prop making is that if you don't even start making the prop, you'll never know if your idea will work or not. And more importantly, you'll never get anything done. So yea!

A few more photos on fb~
