Sanosuke~~

I've finished sanosuke's route and it was... Dreamy :)) was of course attracted to yusa's voice ohoho. Initially I thought he was the flirty guy which every otome game is bound to have but he's better than that ^_^

This really surprised me. I would have thought all the guys of shinsengumi were passionate about fighting to serve their respective leaders, shogun or not but sanosuke just wants to settle down. My poor baby

Look at this sly guy ^_^

HE KNOWS ;_; I was feeling jealous

The second confession scene was really good, he made it clear that he would choose to stay with Chizuru over fighting alongside his best buddy Nakamura.. Brought a tear to my eye :')

And.... The final CG where they have a baby boy hahaha

Cosfest XII

Cosfest 2013 is over.. The best event I've attended yet-- in terms of the quality, variety and choice of cosplay I saw over the two days and my learning experience. Taking the time off my psp to type a full recount because I want to record the experience down properly.

Initially I had 2 costumes, one for each day of the festival. Was rushing them up to the day before the event before I checked the facebook group post and realised that the Hunter X Hunter team on sunday had been postponed. 

Well.. honestly it was a rather irresponsible of the team leader to not announce the news separately in a new post but I understand that he was caught up in the WCS so all it's ok~ 

Could have saved me a lot of stress though :( because I was really dreading Hisoka and lost sleep trying to rush out his arm bands and styling the hair. I still don't look good for Hisoka, probably the wig's fault :/ At least i'm done for his costume minus the lower arm bands.. might get a new wig too.

So I arrived at the chalet on saturday morning and did up the make up Also helped another team mate with hers yay. It was the first time I did my make up without my big house mirror and I took my own sweet time. I actually messed up on my eyeshadow because I used the wrong colours and used my eyebrow brush for the purple, making my eye make up look darker than I wanted. Lashes went on ok and I didn't put on lower lashes. 

                                                   

I was in full costume when i first set off to the event grounds with part of the team. Could not make it out of the chalet area -_______- it was next to impossible to cover much distance in that mermaid tail. In the end I hobbled back to the chalet and changed back into my shorts. Some team mates were still there and I stayed a while longer to help as much as I could with their costumes and wigs. Then I set off before them because I still needed to change.

When I finally changed into the tail, it attracted an auntie's attention in the toilet.She asked which country I was from, followed me out and literally stared in horror at my inability to walk :(((((((( omg I was drawing stares from everyone along the way not because my cosplay was awesome/beautiful but because I was brisk shuffling. Super embarrassing....

I totally regretted changing into the tail at that toilet because it was still a short distance from the actual place... I miscalculated haha. The funniest thing was that I  bumped into the rest of the team whom I left behind at the chalet and they laughed so loudly when they saw me LOL quite glad they caught up because it was much less embarrassing when I was with them.

My team mates later told me it was the cutest sight to see my curly wig bounce with every shuffle XD I wish I saw it.

Long story short, I had to shuffle in small steps everywhere. When I saw a cosplay I wanted to take photos of, I had to painfully shuffle over and ask for a photo. Thus every photo I took on the first day was the result of my hard work and aching calf muscles. 

I might have been wearing relatively little clothes but boy was it hot... Can only imagine how the rest of the team felt in their wings and gowns OTL

                                     

Took photo with my Sano dono ^^ very nice of her to put her arms around my shoulders without having to ask. Ahhh my fangirl heart XD

             

There was DRAMAtical Murder as well! In total I saw 2 Aoba, 2 Noiz, 1 Clear and 1 Koujaku. I heard there was a hot Mink but didn't see him ;__;

At night I had expensive chicken rice, macs vanilla cone and kfc supper cheese fries wheeee. Also managed to catch the 1st episode of Free! at the chalet. Squealed like nobody's business. I barely had time to watch any anime the past week cos was too busy X_X

                                              

Day2 was relaxing for me. As relaxing as it can get because honestly I could not forget about my lab presentation the next day and I had planned to go home early since I wasn't going to cosplay anyway. The highlight of the day was to see the X team.

It was all I could talk about the night before LOL and I was like: Omy I might see Kamui and my X guys later, what should I wear 8D

Bimbo ttm but yes I was that excited and hopeful.

Was kinda saikang warrioring for yifen and andy as Sakura and Syaoran but I was super distracted, kept looking around in hope of seeing the X team hehe

Needless to say I was extremely disappointed when I didn't see them. Went back to the chalet to get my belongings and returned to the event grounds to return the key to Yifen when I saw the Clover team:

                 

They were swarmed by photogs and I waited patiently until I got to them T______________T was crying tears of happiness in my heart. I told them that I was really happy to see a clover team and that they did a great job. Then I saw more members of the Clover team and I was clutching at my chest to keep my feels at bay.

                  

                 

ASDFGHJKLKLASDKJHASDJHGLAKSDHLASKJDHLAKJSH they recruited a pair of twins to cos A and B. LOVELY i spotted the twins walking around previously and was staring at them because they seemed clamp-like but they were not Kamui and Fuuma so I didn't pursue it. When I saw Sue and Ora, things started falling in place T_____T no idea how to describe my feelings

Finally met Yifen to pass the keys and when I went to check on the clover team again, my dream came true.. 

I saw a pair of figures clad in red jackets and holding swords. 

I ran up to them and made eye contact with Kamui. He has lovely blue eyes.

Fuuma was busy so I took solo shots of Kamui my love. He was really sporting and asked me to wait so he could give me his coscard.

Fuuma walked up, I stared at him and his earring hanging so alluringly from his ear. The only thought which flashed repeatedly through my mind was 'Hot stuff'' 

"Fuuma?"

Fuuma smiled "Ahh yes!"

"I've waited so long for the both of you" T ^T

                                                                         

The last photo below is a bonus, I never intended to take a photo with them because I was already saturated with happiness to see them and take photos. Also I was dressed down, looked really red/black faced because I was running around, so excited and the weather was boiling. Then Andy asked why I didn't ask for a photo with them and before I could state my reasons, he went up to them, leaving me gaping and flailing my hands at his retreating back. I didn't know what he said but Kamui and Fuuma turned to smile at me. Everything was a blur, I found out that Fuuma was from Australia though. Before we could take a photo, Fuuma had to answer a call, then Kamui received a call too so I was standing between them blushing hahaha and then this :))

Fuuma also had his arm around my shoulders though you can't see it here ^_________^ this photo really made my day, or possibly even my week. It's now my iphone lock screen.

I received both their coscards. Was really paiseh that I didn't have one to exchange. Should really consider making one hmm.. Never thought that this day would come ahaha it's a good thing I guess!

After I left, KaiLin sent me a photo of another X team, the one I was waiting for. I regretted leaving early of course but just seeing the photo above put me in an unbelievably good mood again. I will settle for photos ^^

Ending off with a loving photo of Yifen and Andy ~~

In all, cosfest XII with the CCS team was a great experience! I was hesitant when I agreed to join this group, mostly because I was not interested in the character nor the series but I agreed in the end because I knew that I would learn a lot from being in such a big team with many excellent cosplayers. I was right :'D

Cosmo youth parade

Too busy to give a detailed account! I really really love the jacket and my platform shoes and the wig. Haha that sounds like everything!! I guess I'm satisfied with how the entire look came together. Could have styled my wig more, put on more moisturiser and done a better job with my eyebrows and concealing my lips but will do~

Don't mind my awkward mouth, the fangs were cute but so hard to get used to.. Sounded like I had a short tongue the entire time and couldn't smile properly. All of us had zero experience with the fangs so we didn't know how to smile or open our mouth to show hints of the fangs while looking good haha 

Wonders of wonders we met an Ayato and Yui (both missing from our group) and so we pulled them in for a photo :)

Very very nice photos taken by our photog friends m are up on fb whee~ was too busy to tag but all of them look lovely ^_^ here's the rest of the team!

Had lots of fun this time :) my shoes were killing me and it was warm beyond words  but overall it was relatively accident free (Y) 

Cosfest is two days away and I'm 90% done with bubbles and 80% done for hisoka.

I'm throwin accuracy to the wind, especially for bubbles. Priority is to look good hahaha. As for hisoka...... The moment I put the wig on I'll look strange but it's the best I can do under these circumstances. I'm doing away with the top arm bands :/ making the lower arm bands, cutting the shapes for the top and styling the terrible wig have taken years off my life lololol

More dialovers work in progress

This coming saturday, cosmo youth parade, though the outdoor parade's been cancelled due to the haze lolol

I'm packed to the brim this coming week-- relatives from malaysia are coming. Super happy and excited that they're finally making a trip to here but why oh why must it be when I'm tied down all day with lab and have so many cosplay events approaching?!

Planning to ask for a day off to bring them around. Will thicken my skin and ask tomorrow. I believe if I have the courage to ask, I will be given the approval to leave. Must prepare for the worst though.. so that my mood won't deteriorate too much if I get a negative answer.

I wanted a nude red closer to pink, this is too dark.. Also lesson learnt: don't get lens with black rims when cosing guys.

Freshly ripped shirt, at sunday 10pm. Because it occurred to me that my parents and relatives won't react well to me cutting up the shirt when they're around.

This was cut up a few days ago. I also covered up the glittery reindeer at the left side. Used marker to colour it at first, but that marker turned out to be brown which was super obvious when it dried. The black marker I used next didn't do much so I had to stick on black cloth (courtesy of the parts I cut out)

Key was assembled and spray painted ages ago. I used a ring fastener, a piece of wire and a.... I think it's a capacitor to make this thingy. Should have gone with a smaller ring but this will do for now~

  

Vampy teeth! Don't have the glue so can't try it on. Got this for fun lah.. Actually Ayato's the only one with the pointy teeth showing but the team has decided to just get the teeth HAHA fun over accuracy.

Updates on life: I refuse to touch anything to do with lab when I'm home, I don't even take my bag and laptop into my room, just leave them on the sofa. Then I either greet my mates on Be My Princess, My Sweet Bodyguard or surf tumblr. Yes guys I'm still playing my princess and bodyguard game. Though I greet less often now. 

I've also been diligently playing Hakuouki. Enjoying it so far :) 

Did not use a walkthrough and my first few choices led me to Saito Hajime so I decided to go for him. Little did I know........ Harada Sanosuke eventually stole my heart. DARN IT I wasn't expecting myself to fall for this guy. Maybe it's his voice.. Yusa sounds really good here, not the least bit creepy or sly. 

But I'm still following through with Saito no matter what. I just sniff a little whenever Sanosuke comes up. No doubts about who I'll be going after next. 

Does this mean he's the kind of guy who will bring his beloved flowers and stuff? :D This is all the way back in the edo period tho XD so cute

I can look like a guy, me!

Got my hands on Subaru's wig and tried it on. The styling is so pretty! I was very afraid that it would look terrible on me but ahaha not bad :Db hope it will look equally cool next week during the event. I PROMISE TO LOOK HANDSOME :D

Yes guys it's next Saturday.. I'm feeling the urgency already. Still need to cut up the clothes, dye the pants and finish up the necklace. 

Then the immediate next week is cosfest. Can I die already omg. help

Lab is ok so far, I made mistakes on the first day and was really confused for most parts. Pipettes urgh wanted to add 200ul but ended up adding 2ml and wondered why the tube was overflowing. Mistook 30 minutes as 30 seconds. 

Even my mentor commented that I was 'out of it' :(((

Didn't do much on day 2 and I was totally nodding off in front of my laptop. Tomorrow I'm going to do a midi prep whee

Guess who got hakuouki to work on her psp haha. Too tired to play much though

It's raining heavily outside

Wow seriously, the more I thought about the insurance issue, the worse my mood became.

Then I watched the latest episode of HxH and it really hit rock bottom. There's no way I will be able to feel happy for the coming episodes because the developments are too negative. And it's so dreadful because I know what's going to happen.

And I was hit by a sudden urge to find the HxH accessories I bought during cosfest last year. Hunted high and low and I swear if I didn't find them I was going to cry myself to sleep tonight-- was feeling really upset.

Luckily I found them :) behind my radio, a little dusty. It was after hunting up and down, searching another room and back, that I vaguely remember last seeing them between my radio speakers. 

               

Wanted to accessorize my new laptop bag with them but dang it, Killua and Kurapika look so sweet and beautiful in the clear packaging that I couldn't bear to take them out -__-

So I used Chikage whom I spun from the gacha machine in Taiwan. On closer inspection, he's really well made. The hair spikes at the back of his head are sharp X_X 

               

Also equipped the psp with nyanko sensei :) hmm..... I should switch them around. Chikage for the psp and nyanko for the laptop bag. Next time bah

               

I feel so much better now, man.. that was a bad case of mood swing..

So much to do so little time

Back from Malaysia this morning and lab starts tomorrow, I've not watch my weekly episodes and I'm still trying to set up my new laptop.

The insurance thing is bugging me, it seems I have to undergo training before I can get the promised fees and I've put off the 4th test for too long, not going to have time to study and go for the trainings because lab is starting.. Also tons of cosplay stuff to settle, the event dates are drawing really close :( so worrying D:

Anyways I'm happy with my new laptop and pei has also given me her old psp, without a charger though so I guess that's one thing I'll need to hunt for.

Hope lab will go well, first day tomorrow!
