I wouldn't call it as Daicon. This will totally insult the main objective of the convention, the original vision of what Daicon should be, and I wouldn't want to insult the hardwork of the President, the Vice President and their hardworking committee.

Hence I will just name it as ChiharaMinoriCon.

If you don't even respect the attendees, then you don't deserve the respect we have for you either.

Never in my life I have attended an event as selfish as this.

There was so many activities in SMASH!08 @ Australia, there's not much time to fully enjoy the convention due to time restriction.
Comicon Road @ Thailand is small, but warm, humble, and enjoyable, nevermind the language barrier.
Cosfest @ Singapore, no any special guests, just awesome cosplayers, the only problem is if your camera can take the amount of awesomeness.
Anime Evolution @ Canada, while there might be stage problems, the attendees are all great and fun people, truly memorable.
AFA 08 @ Singapore, while the entrance fee might be crazy, but there's just so many activities, be it games, figurines, seminars, cosplayers, and even the concert, which can be enjoyed by most of the attendees, one can just be a fan in just one night.
GACC @ Malaysia Good lord, I can give a thesis on how great this event is. Minus the seiyuu, other activities are just as great, and let's not forget the crazy fun staff. People will still attend when their president can't sing lol.
Comic Fiesta @ Malaysia no matter how many complains, people still attend this event, simply because it gathers all fans together, doing things that we all enjoyed.

This?? This ChiharaMinoriCon??
Deleting the concert, it is just a dull convention, with very little activities.
Most of the exhibitions are done by the vendors themself, and yet, what kind of treatment we all get?

There wasn't any announcement, when the blackout happen NO ONE tell us why it happened, nor was there any solution given to us.
Committee members who are responsible wasn't anywhere to be found ( the Director is enjoying herself with the concert! The PR guy too! )
And, truly the Malaysian way, we HAD to protest and get the solution done.

Some professionalism, there.

Oh well, sorry for giving you a hell lot of troubles, if you didn't give us trouble in the first place, we wouldn't protest.

Call me over-reacting, but after attending several conventions inside and outside the country, I seriously thinks that I should've stayed in my home and continued my freelance jobs instead.
While I am really happy to be able to meet friends and people who are kind enough to drop by at our booth, the interesting attendees and cosplayers, the exciting vendors, hardworking and ever talented doujin booth owners, if it wasn't because of them, ChiharaMinoriCon is nothing.
NOTHING.
It is just an event to gather the fans of Chihara Minori and enjoy her concert while the other attendees are left in the dark. Thats all.

Displeasure of a man is a tragedy, displeasure of many is just a statistic, eh?

be right back rushing my job, because I completely wasted 2 days because of this.

Licking the pan ♥

Oh hey gaiz! :D
Anyway, found this article over on Yahoo! Apparently, cats do control humans. HMM! That would explain why my cats tend to balloon in size D:/

How's everyone? :)
Saturday is going to be such a busy busy day for me, I have to send my dad over to the airport and catch up with friends and AHH! Busy! But I don't mind it much, since I'll be seeing Riya who came back from her fabulous Paris trip and has stories and stories to share. Will be catching up with a friend of ours (who, in all honesty, I never got to know better). He says he has tickets for all three of us, so we'll be catching 'Obsessed' in Pavillion. I'm not really into those kinds of movies, but hey, I'm easily pleased and I like Ali Larter.

I'm chugging along with commissions from DA and trying to get them finished as quickly as I can, but I'm really happy that my customers are such sweethearts and aren't pushing me to the brink of self-destruction (ie; impossible deadlines), they will get cookies and e-love the moment I'm done XD ♥

I recently made two matching wigs in a (gasp) commission. Now, I'm not actually taking commissions, but this particular request was one I didn't mind doing because it was actually for colors I like working with, and the promise of a sale was too good to pass up. ;P

Anyways, here are Ichi and Leonidas modeling. Ichi apparently needed a rest and all that floofy hair was just too nice to not make a pillow of. X3






And I really need to get to wigmaking so I can take some with me to the meetup in NYC. Hopefully I'll be able to unload a couple! ^^;;

It's 3.20 am in the morning.. I guess I'm kinda a little more excited than I let on.. Here's some pictures of the new babe.. And oh yeah I think I picked out a name. I don't care how mundane everyone think it is XD. So her name is Kun.
as usual click on the pic.

what a genius

and Pura found new drummer!!! Sato Kenken, definitely one cute Akira clone lol *coughcough*

Stuck in front of screen
Fingers frozen from the cold
Need arse to warm them

So, a lot has happened. Two days ago I tried to salvage my Bambicrony body thanks to bubble_dr3am who bought acetone. Now my BC body is just like it is before, well kinda. But all is not really well. while I was restringing the body the magnet at the back popped out.
    Yesterday I got superglue and had a super accident. I didn't realize I pressed a lot, so the glue started to leak, sticking my fingers together to the body and also burned my stomach. Luckily there's no scar. But I did ruin my shirt T_T. I almost glued the arm to the body! (Damn it why didn't I remember to remove the arms first??) Luckily again there's that acetone, I could clean off the leaked superglue residue o the body, on my fingers, but I couldn't get rid the hardened spots on my shirt. Anyway. It's fine. So restringed, and Lupin is alive!!! Now I just have to get er a pair of eyes, since I gave the blue ones to Cymric.
And today, bright and early, my Swd Suzuna came!
Click on the picture to go to the set.



Oh and this arrival is not the one I cocked the gun to my head for ><

Seriously :\

A little backstory for you guys to understand my rant a little bit better:
My aunt and uncle run a little cat grooming/boarding place and they take pride in their job and all and asked me and my dad to help them fix their godawful website. So we've been working on it on and off for these past few days.

My dad then comes in, asking me if we should change their website URL name ALTOGETHER :\ I told him that it's honestly not -our- call to decide that, even if he did have the intention of asking my cat crazed uncle. Even if he didn't rank well or what have you, I think this sort of decision should be discussed with the uncle in question WITH us, and even so, I don't think he'd want to change the name of the URL.

My dad suggested a name like "Kittens-and-cats.com" when my uncle's boarding place is call A'Sta*Katz. Even if it is ridiculously local or have no meaning to anyone outside their circle, I wouldn't even dare think of changing the name.

THEN my dad goes off saying, "Hey, you're running this show, shouldn't you think about his rankings,blablabla, etc?"

ME?!

All they asked me to do was make GRAPHICS for them DX Just because they intend on paying me and MY DAD SO GRACIOUSLY OFFERED HIS SERVICES ON HIS OWN WILL doesn't mean I'm running the show. They originally asked me to make nicer graphics for their website, not start the whole thing from the ground up DX

UGH!

Buzzer Beat! not for Yamapi, but Nobuaki Kaneko! :D

summer dramas, here i come!

Because even if you're in the wrong, you just won't fucking admit it.
You're annoying in the way that you only see things at your perspective.
You don't fucking tell me things like I'm a retard in front of a bunch of outsiders, that's just fucking disrespectful.
You like to be helpful yes, but you fucking go into total defensive mode when I was suggesting you to stop overloading people with too much information, more than they might be able to chew. If you don't like me telling you nicely then you fucking deserved to be told off in the mean way, and trust me when I said I'm being very mildly mean to you.

And your fucking perfume fucking stinks and annoyed my nose more than twelve bags of rotten carcasses combined.

I'm...... messing with my lj layout header for the first time after 3 yrs........... and it looks really awful............................... nevertheless with a tint of freshneeeess :D *get shot terribly*
that fella? He's probably Sakito from Nightmare. Uuughs not a huge fan of Nightmare but ain't he pretty?? His belly's as fine as girl's, better than mine super orz

btw I made Better than Robert Redford Dessert for Fina's warm little birthday dinner. IT WAS DANG GOOD X33333333 alright....... in this case nothing can went wrong when you're mixing everything good together. That's why it was soooooooo good I'm so gonna make it again I'M NOT LYING :DDDDDd

nasi ayam. fried wonton. soup. btrr dessert. strawberry ice-cream cheesecake. great food :9 but Ashraf forgot the candles LOL and great night of chatting :)

Feeling slightly better today. Last night before I went to bed I was having this massive headache but it's gone now which is good.
Almost forgot that today I'm suppose to enrol into my new semester course. As usual, I went straight to facebook and there I saw my housemate's status update saying that she manage to enrol into her course without any trouble. 

Logged into my uni's website and enrolled into 3 courses. At first I couldn't enrol into one of the courses which was Reading the Visual but later on after an hour there were some open slots so I quickly enrol and got in. At least I don't have to worry about my classes now, all I have to think now is how to pay my fees. Msged Jessie on MSN this morning and she told me that her Master's application wasn't in according to the uni. She was worried about it and hopes to go to uni tomorrow to ask them though. From what I've heard, Kelsie got accepted into Masters. Congrats Kelsie! I do hope Jessie gets accepted as well. I might go to uni tomorrow as well to check about my results. I was planning to do so yesterday but as I've mentioned in my previous entry, I was sick.

But eitherway, I do hope Jessie gets accepted into Masters as well.

Not exactly sure what to do today. Yesterday i msged Wayne to send the concept design for his final project to my email since I won't be seeing him. However I hadn't receive anything from him until today. Honestly speaking I'm kinda relieve since I'm feeling kinda lazy at the moment haha. I'm evil lol. But hopefully if I'm feeling much better tomorrow I'll go check with him on the concept design as well. I guess I'm not much of a help lol.

Recently I've been thinking of stories in my mind that I might like to use in the future. Been trying to think of better ways to improve each of them though. Not sure if they're much of a use but I guess I better type them out before I forget. Just a reminder to myself. However if you feel like there's some room for improvement and willing to share some ideas, do feel free to leave a comment on my entry lol.



------------------------------------

First story:

It all started out with an envelope with a paper inside saying "Could we be friends?"

During that time, pen palling was considered the in-thing for most teenage girls. However their pen pal distance was limited within the country. Our main character (A) was kinda like the loner or nerd in the class and she decided that she would like to have a penpal different than all her classmates. One day while browsing through the cartoon section of the newspaper, she found a newly made section here people from all over the world posted their biography to make new friends. She browse through the names and decided to send a letter to someone from the US.

A reply came back to her within 2 weeks with a note at the end of the letter saying  "Let's be friends  - Sincerely (B)"
The years went by fast however A and B where still keeping in touch with each other. One day B send a mail to A saying that he had join the army and sending letters would be tough for both of them. A was unhappy hearing the news however she agreed to support B in whatever he plans to do. 

It has been 2 years since they kept in touch with each other and B has been deployed to Afghanistan. Their letter sending was soon slowly fading away as their letter receiving time was getting longer. A realize her feelings for B has grown and she had not felt this way before. It took her courage and a long time to send a letter asking him how does he feel about her.
Weeks turns into Months yet there was still no reply from B. A had slowly move on to focusing on her career and hadn't realize that B hasn't been sending any letters to her for almost a month +. It was one unexpected day when she received a call from a girl who claims to be B's elder sister.

2 days since A received the news from B's sister and she has flown all the way to U.S. Before she knew it she was standing outside the church together with B's family. She walked into the church only to be greeted be unknown faces. She moves out of the crowd and finally saw him.  B layed down peacefully surrounded by flowers inside a nicely made coffin. A bend down to touch his hand for the first time and tears starts to roll down her face. B's hand was cold but somehow he seems to be sleeping peacefully wearing his best suit. 

Before she knew it, she was standing by the cemetery watching them bury B's body 7 feet below her. It was when everyone slowly left the cemetery when B's sister pats her shoulder and said that there was something that B wanted to give A.

It was an envelope covered with dirt however she could recognize B's handwriting addressed to her. She opened the envelope and tears began to roll down again as she read the torn paper with the msg:

I had always loved you.

----------------------



Okay I had written a complete story out of this one somewhere online. I'm embarassed to show it here since my grammar and english words are limited XD However that's the basic idea. I was thinking of changing more of it though. Do you have any idea you like to input here as well please feel free to comment :P

Next...



--------------------------


Second Story:

It was raining on the most dreadful day of his life. It was the last straw. God has taken everything away from me ever since the day I was born and he was fed up with it. First it was my father, later my mother and now the person who I could considered part of myself, my wife. I stood by my wife's tombstone and looked down at it.

(details of his wife's name and death day was written on it)

My feelings could not be describe in words and the pain within my heart hurts more than ever. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I fell to the grown and hits it with my bare hands. Blood starts dripping down the side of my palm but it was nothing compared to how I felt.

Before I knew it I was walking slowly back to his apartment. Feeling like a man being possessed, I enter my room, took off my wet coat and open the box next to the piano by the window. It was dusty but as I open the box, there laid a great masterpiece of work. A hollow wooden box that he has not touch in ages. I stroke the tip of the strings attached to it, a soft yet gentle sound came from it.

"It has been a long time..." I whispered as he picked up the violin gently. It looks as if it's brand new however only he knew the violin better than anyone else.

i placed the violin gently on MY left shoulder, picked up the bow and started playing Debussy - Sonata. A lonely violin sound echo throughout the room. It was her favourite song and we used to play it over the piano most of the time. I was her melody and she was my support. We both need each other to make life into this music. As I continue fiddling with my violin, suddenly I hear the piano.

I opened my eyes to see an image of her sitting down playing the supporting part. Tears began to roll down from my eyes as I continue playing. The music rang into my ears was beautiful. 

As I slowly move closer to my wife ghostly figure, suddenly a gust of blew and opened the window next to the piano. As slowly and beautiful as the music, I saw her floating around me and touched my face. It was cold but at the same time familiar. She looked at me and smiled as she moves away from me.

"No..." I thought to myself. I quickly ran towards her. I'm not going to let you go this time, please come back!
As I reached out my hand to grab hers, I suddenly find myself floating in the air. It felt good at that moment until I suddenly felt something pierce through my heart. I opened my eyes again and found myself hanging by the sharp fence outside my apartment. I could feel blood rushing up to my throat as I cough them out. It was cold, and the rain kept pouring down on me. As I laid there, I  took a deep breath and smile to I see my wife's face closer to me now....



-----------------------


Lol I just realize I have 2 depressing story in my mind. For the 2nd story, I was thinking of ending it with his son holding on to him so he won't fall out the window or something like that. It was then he realize not everything was lost and hugged his son.

Not sure which is a better ending but hmm....anyways there are a few more but haven't really got an idea how to start of finish it. I'll just leave these 2 ideas here for now.

Andres got a haircut. ♥

Ok, I need to go camp by my door some more, waiting for UPS. >_<;

This song amuses the hell out of me. I was chuckling to myself while listening to the whole thing. I mean, hey, how could you not be amused by a song where the first lines go,

“I don’t want you to TOUCH me baby,
You go toilet
Never wash hand right?”

*dies laughing*

It’s Singlish (Singaporean English); you might not be clear about some of the references, so here’s a quick reference:
kutu - Malay for head lice
blur block - dumbass (that’s inaccurate, but you get the jist); the word “blur” also refers to clueless-ness.
pang jio - Hokkien for urinate; to urine
chio - Hokkien for hot (as in, a “hot chick”, I guess? I’m not used to this word myself cos we don’t use it at all in our Hokkien here. At least I think it’s Hokkien. Singaporeans, feel free to correct!)

And yeah, they’re grammatically incorrect on purpose. Hee hee.

.

In reality, I’m not that amused by the swine flu though. On June 20 or so, we had our first case or two. Barely a week goes by and we have 100 cases. And we’ve now hit 300 cases. It’s barely a month and the numbers only look to be increasing steadily. I don’t know, but it seems that since no one’s dying yet, and it’s not as deadly as SARS, people still seem quite easygoing about the situation here. I mean, sure you get the “oh shit, it’s so scary, man” reactions, but you can tell it’s not so shitty scary when people are still going out like nothing’s wrong, bringing kids and children out when they don’t need to. There are some who wear masks out, but it’s only a small number. I mean, we have a population of only 381,371 and already we have 300+ cases. So that’s maybe a hundred new cases a week?

And to quote,

It has been reported Brunei had the highest growth in cases of H1N1 in the world in recent days. Also figures were alarming as per population density.

But you know what had irritated me the most? When the swine flu had been declared a pandemic all those months ago, a customer had been saying that it was all “media exaggeration”, and that they’re just trying to cause a panic. O_o Good gods. Trying to educate people by letting them know that there’s something out there that could be potentially dangerous equates to trying to cause a panic. Well, we’ve got 300 cases in the country now, and the same guy doesn’t seem that highly concerned that his “media exaggeration” has become serious reality.

Okay I kinda neglected my blogs on livejournal and also on xanga. I somehow find that there's a lot of changes going on in xanga that I don't even recognize it anymore. Come to think about it, why isn't livejournal as updated as xanga? Perhaps they think it's at it's best so they're not gonna change it anymore? Or maybe they did...just that I don't know where lolz.

Was feeling a lil sick since yesterday. I think it's a flu. The good news is that I don't have any fever. The bad news is that it's not stopping. I don't really like it when I get a flu and all. First you start sneezing a lot, then it starts dripping and later on before you knew it, you get a sore throat. Normally after that I get a fever but so far none. I guess it's proven that panadol tablets works well if you take them when you're at the beginning stage of getting sick. However I needed sleep to stop it, which I'm finding a hard time doing so at the moment. Speaking of flu, there's something that's been bothering me. I was hoping that I wasn't catching h1n1 or swine flu now though. I've looked up online to see what were the symptoms of getting it and so far they describe it as normal flu. 

Emergency Warning Signs (h1n1)

If you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs, seek emergency medical care.

In children, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

• Fast breathing or trouble breathing
• Bluish or gray skin color
• Not drinking enough fluids
• Severe or persistent vomiting
• Not waking up or not interacting
• Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
• Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

• Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
• Sudden dizziness
• Confusion
• Severe or persistent vomiting
• Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

The good thing was I don't have any of this symptoms. However recently I realize that my heart's been beating furiously often especially during the time I'm going to bed. I hadn't been playing any games / watching horror movies that would make me feel nervous or some sort but it feels that way whenever I breath. Does that include under the symptoms of difficulty breathing or shortness of breath? It doesn't sound like it but I guess I'll just ignore that. Even now I could feel my heart beating hard for no reason. Maybe it's because I haven't been getting enough exercise these few days. Should start walking more haha.

Borrowed about 5 books from the library yesterday and finished reading 1 already. Now reading a book called The Matchbreaker by Chris Manby.Honestly speaking the beginning story of it isn't really catchy but what I like about the book is the choice of words they use to describe something different. I just started reading that though. Before this I wasn't really much into books as I used to back at secondary school. However I started borrowing 2 books written by Sinead Moriarty last Thursday and I find them superly amusing and I really enjoyed it. If you're wondering who she is, she was the writter who wrote Princess Diary. And she's an Irish! I didn't expect that at all and browsing through her biography and pictures, I'll have to say she's a great writer with great sense of humour and wonderful based on looks too haha. I'm planning to go hunt 2 books that she wrote in the library when I'm feeling well. The Baby Trail and From Here to Maternity are the books that I'm looking forward to. 

But anyways I had been keeping in touch with Joe through emails and sometimes msges left for each other on our facebook. Joe's emails tend to be short and simple (which I understood why since it's mostly P&C) and he's always talking about his seniors, jobs, heavy gears which hurt him and stuff like that. It just made me worried about him and I'm planning to send something that could help him with his backache. I know...by the time I send this off to Afghanistan he'll probably got over with it but at least it's something for him just in case such situation happens again lol. Besides all those, we also talked about Joe's visiting. We've been trying to plan this out since last year but due to my family flying over to Sarawak last Christmas, it's considered like...MISSION ATTEMPT FAILED NO.01.

So our 2nd attempt would be end of this year on December. It's not entirely confirmed when he would be coming though because of his situation and mine right now. Before this Joe asked me to visit him back at U.S. during Christmas. This was because he wanted to spend some time with his family (it's almost 1/2 a year since they seen each other and his family miss him dearly) and also at the same time spend time with me as well. I thought it was a great idea however, been brought up in a protective family (+ I am a girl whom my parents think that I'm not mature enough compared to my sister) I know it's going to be tough asking them.

End of last year I've told my dad about my relationship with Joe. My dad wasn't really happy about it but he said the choice was mine to make cause now the world has change so long distance relationship might work. I was much more confident telling my dad about Joe at first cause somehow it feels like my dad was closer to me and he won't just suddenly burst out and say NO straight away. However for my mum, I know she was going to say no to me directly that's why it took me a longer time to tell her. I told her a few months back when I called home and she was saying that it's okay for me to play around but don't get too serious. She was hoping that I could find someone better in Australia haha. In fact, I had an idea that she wants me to marry a white man. I have to say honestly, a chinese + white = cute mix kids. I have one of my auntie who was my dad's long lost cousin who married a white guy from the U.S. Their kids, Nathan and Ean...how could I say...they're super adorable! Come to think about it, I haven't seen them in ages...

*cough* But anyways, back to the plan between me and Joe, we talked about it and realize that there are a lot of things we have to fix and get ready before we could even jump on the plane and fly. First off and most importantly was the visa. Both of us haven't thought about it or how long it was going to take just to get the visa done. I wouldn't mind doing so however I came to realize that I have to do mine and go through some interviews back in Malaysia. I can't really do that in Australia so Joe propose that he would try to get the visa thingy done as he had never done any visa before. In fact when I asked his elder sister (who's the same age as me), looks like they've never really travelled anywhere overseas that requires a visa. Joe said he would try to ask his senior to help him out on the visa part however he has been really busy and tired almost all the time so it was really tough for him *feels guilty*

Was thinking of going back to Malaysia end of the year instead of staying back in Australia during December. Joe said he didnt' mind as long it's english orient? Well being brought up in a country where you've only spoke english in your entire life and barely know any viet to save your life (like me with my chinese lol!) he was a lil worried about that. But I don't think that's much of a problem to be worrying about to begin with. If he does come to Malaysia, the first thing I wanna do is to intro him to the Rashingis. Perhaps will talk to my dad when it's confirm when he's coming lol. I think Joe and my dad might click since they're both interested with technical stuff related to computers. The only thing my dad didn't really like the idea about Joe was the army related stuff. And my dad's also worried about me.

Started sneezing again just now. And I've been eating non stop since early this morning. My tummy size could beat santa clause's tummy any time. It's getting big, really....okay not THAT big but still big. I should really start walking more often and stop getting chocolate deprive lol.

OMG it's like finally done!!!!!!!!! (But am pretty sad it was over so quickly too! TwT)

Now it's time for the...

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

Been planning this event's cosplay for over a span of 6 months (or more), and it was all over in a flash! Pretty much everything was a blur during the event itself as there were stuff I was worrying (and OCD-ing about) during the pre-event and the 1st day. 

As for starters - I reallyreally, REALLYREALLYREALLY wanted to re-cosplay Mylene Jenius from Macross 7 because the last time I did it for AFA08 my dearest+I couldn't rush the guitar in time T_T And the only possible event I could redo this was a Singapore con (for obvious reasons lololol 8DDD) Having said that, even when I had so much time to prepare, we still rushed everything just before I left for SG LOLOLOLOL oTL *superbadhabit*

Back to why I started worrying+OCD-ing, my casual version was totally not done (dolphin pattern not cut out+heat&bonded), my wig's fringe was in a terrible tangly mess, boot cover base was totally spoilt (doesn't help that I left the whole pack of vinyl at home AND LOST IT AFTER ARGHS MY VINYL TAT)


REPORTOOO!
COSFEST WAS EPICFUN YAY 8D \o/
(shortest report ever, yes?)




























Okay okay real report here :

1st day
- 8am : Called up Amano via Lac's phone to ask if it was okay if he cosplayed casual Basara alone cos my pattern CMI, and he sounded sorta dissapointed over the phone, so I decided OKAY NVM I GO GAMBATTE. So I traced (10 mins)+cut (2 mins)+ironed on dolphin pattern on both sides (8 mins). Total time taken = 20 mins. I think I broke my record on fastest item done (although I OCD-ed on this the longest, the hell @___@)
- A few people actually came up and asked if we were from Macross 7 (though I think it was because they recognised Basara Nekki more than Mylene TwT)
- OMG STAGE SHOTS GET! We stole the stage lighting for a while around the end of day 1 of Cosfest 8D It was like reliving Macross 7 Dynamite OVA 8DDD Thanks for the shots, photogs!
- Shouting "FIRE BOMBER!" and having the ppl below the stage respond to it by clapping and shouting it back to us is one memory I'll never forget <3
-Found out the Basara guitar was not finished painted and Scorio (the guy making his guitar) ran out of paint D8 Frets+pickup were not made yet, and he had no guitar strings. D8 But since a Basara Nekki without his epic guitar is like fish out of water, so both of them spent the entire night painting the guitar.

2nd day
- Went over to Amano's chalet in the morning so we could rush Scorio to finish up Basara's guitar >DDD Frets were still not done yet, so I cut up balsa strips and stick it on. Worked like a charm!
- Scorio helped to put some rubber glue on the pink vinyl+base of my boot covers. Totally non-slip after, yes!
- We finally got into our gear and finished at 3.55pm. oTL Darn wig was so hard to put on with the ears+headband.
- EPIC ALL THE WAY 8D


ORZ moments :
- Muscle ache from all the jumping/leg+arm lifting/smiling poses T^T
- Accidentally left the packet of vinyl+patterns at McDs shortly after receiving it from tokiya T__T argh really angry with myself!!! *kick stupid self *

More on the photoshoot later, hope to upload pics once i get back home 8D gtg pack up now 8D

SEE YOU ALL BACK HOME!!!

So, let's try this again. Got a package today, and now Ty is skinnier.


Hmm, can't really tell here, but his clothes are baggy on him!


( Four more )

Well I watched the remaining 3 episodes of Torchwood Children of Earth lastnight.

( My musings and such, spoilers as usual )Well that's my views on the series as a whole, this whole embarassing emotional ride it took me through!

Months ago, when everyone asked me what am I going to cosplay for Cosfest 2009, I told them:

I might not even attend the event.

Two days ago, I was feeling very awful, and I know I will break down completely if I'm alone. So I made a decision to go to the chalet.

And I don't know how the fuck did the no-I-am-not-attending-Cosfest-Nevar turned into the Nevar that screamed her head off cheering for Skye and Jill on second day. This is history alright, because I NEVER screamed for anyone during competition. Everyone who knows me know that fact.

You people fucking owe me a drink or two for breaking my own rules. So you better come to Heart of Darkness this Saturday so you can buy me drinks.

And I have pictures, but later because I'm fucking tired and having a little headache due to the fucking hard crash into a van with my head just now.
