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.

2 weeks to AFA O_O

I've done my chinese essay, protein group report and cardio assignment 1! Started on molecular biotech report too. The only pending work is cardio assignment 2, science fiction story and GEK report which I have very little control over because some of my group mates are late in submitting their part. Already being very nice by compiling and bugging them in a non threatening manner.

It makes my blood boil whenever they're so unresponsive. It's ok if they're unresponsive but send me the stuff on time. BUT NO, delayed day after day wth. Hello... I'm very busy too okay, you have no right to submit late and then wash your hands off after you did your part (provided you even submit your part of the report). But when I start composing the email or sms to tell them a piece of my mind I sound so freaking civil and unthreatening that I surprise myself because I was really angry and angsty when I started composing the message. The final message even sounds pitiful -___- well whatever works cos they all replied after that.

Saw a very nice Starry Sky drag and drop game on tumblr: 

I'm not happy with this result but no time to keep trying :( though I did try a few more times but this result kept popping up even when I pressed print screen with my eyes closed! So ah wells. First of all..... WHERE'S HOMARE sobs... and Kazuki your crush is not an unrequited one because my heart is with you! -kicks the rest away- sorry abit angsty haha. 

This made me realise that even though I love all the starry sky guys, I don't love Azusa and Kanata as much as the rest

Edit: This result is better!! :D just noticed the 'you best friend' though and wth.. lover, boyfriend, happy end are all different guys. What is wrong? ..... nothing at all :D

Oh yea the Ys were talking about horoscope on whatssap recently. I don't quite fancy Carpricorns irl but I lurrrve Capricon aka Yoh kun in the game. Because of his voice and pretty face lololol.  Taurus and Aries are my favourite :D I would marry either of them.. really!! Sorry Yufei your sagging I mean Sagittarius character in game, Azusa, is one of my last choices along with Pisces. The Gemini character is the creepiest out of the gang and has a long neck. Aquarius is a very very cute character in game, eccentric too HAHA! Just as yufei described. 

To prove my point.... no prize for guessing which one is Aquarius 8D

The voice actor for Leo is coming (elaboration in my previous post) and i'm so excited because AFA is coming really really really soon!

Some costest photos---

I managed to get the wig to look nicer but the pony tail at the back is still.... not ideal. The problem about a single pony tail is that it's hard for it to always show up on photos. If it doesn't, I'll look like Ciel from Kuroshitsuji especially with the eyepatch hahaha!!! Must figure out how to clip it on such that it shows and doesn't pull on the base wig too much.

When I took off the outfit, the teeshirt I was wearing inside was 40% soaked. Help. And hey look! That's my saxophone by the side, haven't return yet =X

Happy Halloween~~

KISHIO IS COMING TO SINGAPORE FOR AFA

Long long post cos I have lots to talk about :D and i'm in a very good mood! Going to be really really busy the coming week/weeks.. Reports, assignment, chinese essays and more! Good thing is that I'm quite motivated. But I realised today that motivation =/= productivity... Got so distracted all day. 

Was distracted in the afternoon when AFA announced that Daisuke Kishio will be coming to Singapore, as a guest for AFA. When I saw his photo, I had to remind myself that it was on fb, not tumblr where seiyuus fill my dash all the time. And that it was AFA which posted the photo, and  at this time of the year AFA usually posts about guests who are attending the event or will be invited in the future.

OMG

OMGOMGOMG

and I'm totally laughing at this convo I had with my senior on fb last month.

My senior's going to rich since her friend said she'll give her all her money LOL

He's not coming to promote an event, so most probably he won't be doing any fun stuff. But heyyy it's a very very good start for Singapore! More seiyuus may be coming XD I'm pleasantly surprised because AFA gave no clues that they were planning on inviting a seiyuu in the past. At least for Perfume, they posted a video to test the waters early this year.

Not too much details announced yet so I can't plan my day at AFA yet. Though I'll definitely be getting the $20 ticket which includes stage access, and I'll definitely be going on Saturday (same as my initial plan so yayy)

If there's one thing that's bugging me, it's that I have no merchandise for him to sign on, wellllll not that there's going to be an autograph session ( well, maybe 8D). I'd much rather have a photo taken with him anyways and I'm honestly not familiar with Kishio's anime roles, it's his otome game roles and drama cds that i'm crazy over but the otome game market is so small here so any Kishio merchandise that's on sale during AFA will most prob not be related to his otoge characters.

NVM I'M HAPPY, REALLY ELATED. This will be my motivation to stay happy until the event is over.

Next thing which may become my motivation: Perfume concert! 

Physical tickets were sold out so quickly after the sales started, I stood no chance. I went to ballot for a single general admission ticket. And the process was so simple that i'm gravely worried that tons of half-hearted people will be balloting as well, decreasing my chance of getting a ticket. Ballot results will be out next next week I think, through email ;___; what would I give to wake up to an email in my inbox ARGHGHGH please please please.

Anyways went with Yz on thurs to daiso to get black gloves and some other stuff and then to her house to try on the outfits. Managed to solve some problems and all's looking good! Except for the eye patch which is too big for my face. And it's really quite uncomfy to have the patch covering my eye.  

See I can't even open my other eye properly -_- what am I going to do about the make up for the other eye? Just do one eye and leave the other bare? I'd look hideous. If I do make up for both eye, the covered eye make up might smudge and I'd look hideous too. 

One thing for sure, even i I do make up for both eyes, fake eyelashes for the covered eye is a nono and that alone is enough to me look weird when I dont wear the eye patch. Yz's abit concerned about her 'fats' cos the stomach is exposed for her costume. HAHAHA jiayou gymming!!
