My Sweet Bodyguard musings

2 more papers to go! Happy that they are spread out but the torture is extended :( Jiayou friends!! 

I just saw that otomedream has this publicize option where I can get points if you click on this link? I dunno, but if you don't mind can just visit once :D it's not a virus ;))

I guess the HxH Kurapika one shot would have been translated by now since the raws were floating around yesterday night. There's this so called cover for volume 0 which looks amazing, I can't wait to get my hands on it. The volume cover for volume 31 has also been released, it's such a pinkish purplish colour I'm in love!!! You know, whenever a new volume is compiled and printed, it's a sign that Togashi will break the hiatus and continue writing. Let's put this to the test, not counting the one shot, let's see if there will be news of HxH manga resuming :D 

Recently voltage released the iOS version for my sweet bodyguard and I jumped on the bandwagon. It wasn't too hard to get used to since I'm already an old bird at Be My Princess haha. 

It starts off with you getting attacked while at work and then rescued by a bunch of guys who claim to be body guards. Turns out you're the prime minister's daughter and while you might be happy to be reunited with your long lost father, you have become a target because a neighboring country is trying to kidnap you to blackmail the prime minister!! They sure act fast.. 

So you have to choose one out of the 3 bishies  available (3 more to be released in the future) to be your 24 hour body guard kyaaaa~~~ It was a clear choice for me, I chose Kaiji who's also an elementary school childhood friend whom you've lost touch with after moving house until he rescued you from the attack at work. Chose him because the chief looked too old and Subaru looked too sinister.. of reasons hehe

The story so far is super duper funny omg I never fail to laugh when reading the short 5 chapters every night. This didn't happen for Be my princess so I'm impressed :) Lots of amusing events like accidentally buying a pink t shirt with a heart on it for Kaiji, much to his embarassment, and having a cross dressing terrorist who tries to hit on Kaiji. But his sisters take the cake. Seriously, I was ROFLing when they entered the story. 

 

Triplet sisters who talk in unison!!! And they are the ultimate fangirls who stir people together and form an OTPs within seconds XD

       

Why am I laughing so hard XD XD weeellll.. it was funnier on the phone together with the flow of the story, I promise!

                                       

When he blushes he looks like he got punched on the left cheek XD too bad all the screenshots I took of Kaiji are of him frowning.. It's part of his charm ;) He's good at english, very nice, caring and knows martial arts. I've seen pictures here and there of the other guys posted by other people and it seems that every guy's route is interesting! I might really consider spending money on getting the other voltage non gree games in the future if they're like this. 

This app is available for android phones and iphone. If you're new to gree games, the system might seem like a lot to take in and a whole lot of trouble just to progress with the story but really, some perseverance will help. The other players are very friendly too! So that's a plus :)

Since I'm on voltage games, I'll just ramble about Be My Princess. It's the xmas event now and I chose Keith. Enjoying it a lot!! Keith was my first prince and though I wasn't that smitten by him at that time, I've really missed his bossy attitude after moving on to other princes. A little worried about how i'm going to juggle the game when I'm overseas (this shows how addicted I am?!) mainly I'm just worried that I won't have enough points to progress with the story or get the ending I want if I can't attend the parties regularly. Should be ok though since it will be close to the end of the event where love points aren't that much of a problem, I hope! :D

So many things to do after exams!! A lot of anime I want to watch and I've really neglected my otome games... Will finish up Ookami san from AkaMori and  after the exams. There's going to be no end to the games I want to play if I get a PSP (which I will muahahaha). Either an old old one from a friend, or check out second hand ones (but I don't know where) or save up for a new one. I also need to save up for my cosplays.......... No money :( I need to start tuition soon.

2 weeks to EOY

Whoaaaa I'm now naming my posts according to how far away the cosplay events are.

As we all know, it's the mugging period and I have been mugging, not too fiercely because my papers are nicely spread out this time round, which I'm very thankful for. 

There will be a Kurapika one shot in the first 2 december shounen jump issues, setting the stage for the movie which is slated for release next year Jaunary. 

Woohoo~~~ I almost fainted when I read the about it, but not that crazy over this piece of info because the movie is old news and I've hyperventilated enough over it the past few months. As for the manga 'resuming', I'll actually be more elated if Togashi does a long term continuation of the manga chapters. Still, 8D because I'll get to see my genei ryodan babies kekeke

So I've been happily playing the Be My Princess app on my phone for a few months, if you guys are persistent and like something to do in your free time can give it a try, it's available for both android and iOS. The game developers keep introducing new events and stuff omg becoming so addictive, as if they are bent on making me bury my nose in my phone for at least half an hour each day greeting my mates and so on..  

                          

Context: The girl aka me commented that the bathtub was huge and seemed almost too luxurous  for one person. ASDKJLIEHFILHSEF ^////^ I used to not like prince edward much, he seemed too gentlemanly but now after playing his event, my impression 180 degree change sia! (it's not because of what he said in the picture ok! It was the entire event story)

Ok I think the picture and my ramblings are not giving a very accurate portrayal of the game but nvm 8D

Perfume concert this saturday! After my GEK paper in the morning. Don't think i'll be in the mood to mug from between the paper and the concert so I'll be getting some cosplay stuff done for EOY. 

Speaking of cosplay, after cosfest next year, I'm going to start doing characters chosen out of real interest. Previously, I chose my characters based on the availability of the costumes and stuff, of course I like the characters and they look pretty, but my main driving force wasn't that great. Hope they will turn out well! :) My 'future plan' list at the side keeps growing longer and longer OTL and the newer ones I added are not even from anime....... I wonder who will be willing for form a team with me haha!

My usual thursday post

It was very revolting to read up on zebrafish while having lunch but I still managed to finish up my chicken rice (: 

Finishing up my fishy lab report which is due tmr! Also have a presentation which was supposed to be over on monday but the other groups dragged so it got pushed back to tmr. Ah well :) some friends still have CA this week so I shouldn't complain. 

I'm also going to collect my perfume concert tickets at the afa shop tmr after school activities end :D who's free and wants to hang out/have afternoon tea??

Anyways I went to sell the first wig I ever bought just now, and wore shorts since the event is over and I can let my legs have some vitamin D. Then I fell at the steps while crossing the overhead bridge :( I kept thinking I was like a primary school kid, falling down at my age -__- 

The main point was, I ruined my phone cover and my poor phone got a scratch at the left corner.. it's rough and no longer pretty T_____T really heng my hands are ok, cos I broke my fall with right my right palm too but the skin's intact. Most of the impact fell on my left knee and left hand which was fortunately or unfortunately protected by my phone.

The tissue from the welfare pack which I very intelligently left in my bag came into use brilliantly (Y)

Camwhore pic! From last last week actually lolol I have a few more from my make up tests but i'll save your eyes bah..

And I painted my nails like I said I would :D with my new nail polish and I realised I was using the brush at a wrong angle last time, now that I know how to better apply it, the effect is very nice!

Things seem quite unhappening after afa, having some withdrawal symptoms which are mainly just regrets that I wasn't able to meet more people, look at the exhibits and items for sale haha Nus is going to have it's own anime even together with Ntu next year!!! That sounds really awesome :D

AFA 2012

This was hands down the most tiring event ever but it was so eventful!! But I wish I had better time management and that the handphone reception at expo was better. Super super duper long post! So I'll start off with some complaints as usual ;)

Arrived there earlier than expected and managed to get my ticket. The hall was huge, and it was hard walking from one end to the other because it was too crowded, and my shoes were killing me. Perhaps I didn't study the floor plan well enough, perhaps the management didn't do a good enough job labeling the entry points, I couldn't find the entrance for the festive stage -_- even received wrong directions from a staff. I have leg muscle ache today T__T

The reception was really bad, and I forgot to tell Kyou and the rest to please pick up their phones. As a result, I was separated from the team after finishing my seiyuu event, and again after my interview. Waste time, energy and my phone battery ttm while looking for them.

Also, I would really rather not have a person who's not in the team to tag along especially if he/she causes inconvenience because wants to do his/her own stuff. We can meet and go together, but please go solo after that if you want to do sth that the rest have no interest in.

This time there were a lot of cosplayers, too many I didn't know how to start taking photos so I ended up not taking any.. except of ppl I know and the Genei Ryodan.. Not good :( 

Next up-- Happy stuff :D I SAW DAISUKE KISHIO!!! screamed a lot at him and took photos and videos even though it's not allowed. Nvm, as long as I don't share them in public right? ^_^

Kishio was very very cute on stage though he never really looked in my direction :( though I was sitting in the middle section. He did a voice for the merlion and initially he did that gurgling sound XD and said that the merlion couldn't speak because water was coming out of it's mouth HAHA

Then after his song, he asked for water and while Danny Choo was blocking the camera while Kishio drank, Kishio kept peeping out from behind Danny with ADORABLE EXPRESSIONS. Like O.O and :3 hahahaha I also caught him pouting (idk?? XD) while May'n was being interviewed hehe

Lots of other people were also screaming for Kishio, it was a good sign!! I really hope AFA invites other male seiyuus in the future. Please please please~~

I also managed to find and buy my Dramatical Murder badges, didn't want to get the full set at first but the person told me that it's cheaper to get everything so that was what I did =D I was a few meters away from the booth and checked my goods. Realised that they missed out Mink!! Omg flew back and 'demanded' my Mink haha! With this, I'm planning to start a DMMd cosplay team soon and give the respective badges out to the cosers. 

While looking for Kyou and the rest, I saw the loves of my life, the Genei Ryodan!! Super happy and excited!! And it's very special because there was a Shalnark within the team!!!!! MY LAOGONG~ I took solo shots of them (kuroro, hisoka and shalnark) and then took a shot with Shal kun. Pity I didn't look very nice there but it's ok.

Nope I'm not sorry that I manipulated the photo XDXDXD

I actually went back to find them again after the full team assembled, this time with Bonorenofu and Feitan. Took group shots 8D

Then I went for a scheduled interview with a Japanese professor who flew to Singapore just these few days to give a talk on Japanese pop culture in NUS today and tomorrow. I did her survey on anime and manga perception a few months back and so honoured sia, my answers caught her attention. So she asked me a lot of questions and I had a lot of fun rambling on and on about my love for anime and manga, essentially all my feels. She was so interested in what I had to say about my love hate relationship with Yaoi and voice recorded everything down HAHA first time someone pays so much attention to my anime and manga ramblings (Y) 

We even spoke about seiyuus OMG you know.. seiyuus are really so popular in Japan. The anime and manga fandom overseas may be huge, but love for seiyuus is totally underrated. She asked for my favourite seiyuu cos I told her about Daisuke Kishio and when I said Nakamura Yuuichi, she said 'youkyan'!! She admires Yoshimasa Hosoya alot, and calls him 'Hosoyan'. T___T true blue seiyuu fan there. It was awesome talking to her =DDD 

The poor guy who was with her knows nothing about seiyuus (he doesn't know about yuri either O_o even though he likes anime and manga and draws) and she explained to him that she likes Hosoyan for his voice only, not the appearance. While Youkyan, whom I like, is quite good looking. I was like... O_o because I actually consider Hosoyan to be better looking than Youkyan. I once watched a video of Hosoyan singing and dancing and 被电到 haha

Anyways in the end she gave me a set of tiger and bunny bookmarks. Yay :) but too bad I didn't watch the series because it seems to have too much boy love.

I went out after the interview and was lucky enough to find the rest who had their photos taken by lots of photographers while I was not there T__T it's ok I'll survive.

 I don't have all the photos yet so just sharing what I have on my camera..

 I honestly wish I had nicer lips.. they're so thick me no likey. Time to experiment with lip concealers :P added lip colour to this one, still not too bad :D

With Kyou's friend!

Overall, cosplay wise I tried eye shadow make up and lower lashes for the first time and it was passable by my standards. Still got lots to improve though!! Hope the rest enjoyed themselves hehe I was really quite impatient but hey someone has got to play the bad guy right! and Yz arh......... really got to put in more effort and take care of the costume and wigs (really heart pain when I see the state of my wig). 

Still, really need to thank Yz and Kyou for cosplaying together with me. Hope to cosplay together again!! Cos I've been asked to join groups here and there which do not include them. But if I form my own team, I'll definitely leave a spot for yz and kyou~!

More photos on fb soon~~

2 days to AFA

I broke my no chocolate rule.. Ate a chocolate cookie on my birthday because I was really hungry and there was nothing to eat at home -cries- Also ate a chocolate marshmallow pie thingy from the welfare pack.

So I spent my 21st birthday night at school attending the award ceremony and sheeshhhh it was raining so my mum offered to drop me off at school. 

Really really hate it when ppl bug me to hurry up with my make up. It's not that I do it every day and I am by no means slow. My mum gets so impatient whenever I delay her because I'm still struggling with my eyes or sth. I didn't even ask her to drive me there can.. I've already told her that I was trying out make up for AFA and started preparing early. But because she wanted to drive me there she wanted to leave earlier so I had less time. It's the same for cosfest other cosplay events whenever yz comes over. And she wasn't even driving us anywhere then! Angry sia!! 

And she dropped me there 20 mins earlier than the meeting time so I was sitting at the side all alone feeling cold and sad -___- 

Anyways the band mates who were present celebrated my birthday with two slices of cakes cos they didn't know which I would prefer XD I chose fruit over chocolate hehe

Yay :) Honestly I wasn't feeling very happy that day but it all turned out alright at the end. 

Since I've already posted a CG of Totally-awkward-Takumi last post, I'll update with this. He, he's s-stuttering? With that kind of expression? Doesn't fit man.. I prefer Be my princess to this app ^_^

So it's 2 days to AFA.. meeting Kyou and Yz the earliest ever, at 1030am. Usually we take 2 hours minimum to prepare, including having lunch. Travelling takes an hour and I need to be there by 2.30pm latest because Kishou's segment starts at 2.50pm. Plus I've not gotten tickets yet.. no chance to go town. So yup, 1030am seems reasonable. :)

This time I'll be doing smoky eyes! Or whatever my attempt turns out to be LOL Hope I don't screw up.. Watching all that make up tutorial videos on youtube better help =/ 

OHAIIII

Saxophone gig later at sentosa whee and I'm listening to our own recordings taken during practice on tuesday.. I suck seriously X__X better use another reed later. 

It has been such a productive week, and i'm left with 2 presentations next week and one cardio assignment essay. I finished my 2 lab reports, my part for the LAC chinese science fiction story (it was fun!! I was sad to finish it so fast..), cardio assignment, the all hate and no love GEK report which I barely remembered to upload to IVLE 1 hour before the deadline just now. How did I manage to finish everything?! hahaha praising myself -__- There's still a lot of revision so I can't slack no matter how much I want to sigh

Met up with the YYYs for an early birthday celebration last friday, mine and Sherin's wheeeeee It was a lot of fun and I got treated dinner at the Ben Ten cafe, food was not bad but too much msg, i was so thirsty after that. Also had my favourite dessert after taking neoprints LOL our awesome neoprints, unbeatable!

 YZ looks the most evil HAHAHA

Thanks guys for the treat!! LOVE ALL OF YOU MUACKS MUACKS

I've not touched my otome games for quite long.... since I made the Akazukin post.. Feeling a bit guilty but it's ok, cos they can wait. I'd rather spend free time watching anime. Got a few more games.. so my back log has increased again! I miss those days during the summer holidays where I could play all day though....

Be my princess for Gree is progressing well now that i've gotten the hang of the game. Downloaded a few more similar apps at one go and you know.. these games usually give you the choice of naming the heroine and I almost always use my name because come on.. spider9 sounds too funky for games like these. Usually it works well, other than sounding fake at times which I just cringe and get over. BUT THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH

My supposedly childhood friend who enrolled in the same music school without my knowledge.  This scene came without warning, that wink!! and the 'o hai!' gesture hahaha out of the 4 guys available I chose him because glasses power 8D I didn't think I cared that much for megane characters but apparently I do. Looking forward to the moment he takes them off!

Got this in school yesterday for $6, the cheapest I've seen so far.. OPI was selling at $10 so I didn't get any.. Been wanting a glitter nail polish and this was the best I could find.. was hoping to get one with bigger particles but only OPI had those i think.. so I made do with this. SHO PWEETY but when I tried it on i accidentally got a big gob on my nail tsk tsk the effect wasnt as I expected. Nail polishes are good for growing out my nails.. cos I won't be tempted to cut them too often or pick at any rough edges. 

Growing out my nail for AFA! I'll paint them after the event :) abstaining from chocolate until after the event because I've got an ulcer on my tongue from eating 4 yummy chocolate cookies at one go last sunday.. And every time I open the fridge and see the chocolate, I remind myself that I'll have ugly pimples and magic!! I reach for the kaya and eat it with bread instead. It's been 4 days already. Kinda dying for a cookie.
