Aniself (7-8June.2014)   初めてた!

 Aniself basically is an event comprised of Japanese's anime and manga activity
previously was known as Haru Matsuri (Spring festival)
heard was organized by Anime Section of Art Club of SMK Green Road

Event mostly full of games,competition,cosplay and ect.



and here I made my first break through in
cosplay :x 
 
Have lots of complicated feeling when talking and thinking about
myself involved in cosplay

It was like feeling anxious,worry, scare and fun at the same time
and lots of reason accompanied with those feeling
well, will try to talk about "my cosplay feeling" later


There are lots of cosplayer gathered during the event 
and of course you will found cameraman and woman hunt 
cosplayer for photo shooting  xD


but honestly, the weather (1st day) was
 REALLY, REALLY SUPER HOT......
both outside and inside the hall
(only a few fans in the hall...)


 we bathed in sweat for sure 
and imagine you are wearing a wig and make up... D: 
well, luckily none of us got heatstroke 
and able to take lots of picture :) 


 
Gin(red hair) and Wei
in Rin and Haru's cos of "Free" 
(Iwatobi Swimming Club)
Gin as Rin and Wei as Haru
and I as Rin's sister, Gou :x

Together 3 of us went to the event together as a gang xD 
(It's quite a bit embarrassing and lonely if you go alone in your cosplay...)

we spent around 2 hours plus make up at Gin's house..
and during the whole process
I thought make up is kind of.......
troublesome....  :x
as I'm not really experience in make up 
and kinds of clumsy... orz
maybe my skill will get better if I involved into more further :x
It just like how other people said:

(cosplay) require practice..
 and it's true :(

another problem occur in Gou's cosplay was
I couldn't tied pony tail...  D,:
(due to the wig problem)
so the only way I could do 
was tie double pony tail...

ok...I ruined Gou D:


felt slightly regret of buying a wrong wig..
but it's still ok,maybe I still could use this wig
in other character or self design character (trying to be optimistic,haha)

 Some of Gin's friend came by been our little photographer :)
(Thanks a lots!)

 and randomly get to know some new friends of cosplayer :D
New technique of photo shooting, selfie xD 

 Shall call this scene as 
"the monkey and the tree" :p

 Sadly, didn't manage to take other cosplayer's photo 
as well as taking photo together D: 
we didn't walk much around the hall as well
(well, the hall is quite small and nothing much to have a look actually... :x )
 There were booths selling some drawings, soft toys, cup cakes(?),
games booth as well and ect
competitions like solo cosplay competition which cosplayer 
can show their talents up on the stage was hold as well 
heard there were also games competition but not so sure what games were those :x


It was quite usual during this kind of event,
where a huge notice board was displayed 
for drawers to drop their drawing on it :)



 Also help both of them take some photo xD
but normally some pictures ended up as a prank picture (done by me :p )

 Received some cos-card from some friends!
Didn't know that receiving cos-card would be so happy :D
Thank you very much! :DD 


***
As for the 2nd day I came as a passerby xD
but still met up with both of them 
and I became their photographer xD 

Luckily it rained and it was much cooler 
(but slippery..) 

 Characters of book seller and manga editor xD
 

 Some lovey-dovey photo (AwA

 A lots of funny things happened
and all of us have a great fun xD
  (above) doing "facial mask's scene" xD
look at those "paparazzi" ! (lol)


our creativity burst out that day
and completed some "mission impossible" xD
 well, besides the "snow couple scene",
we also have "mother in law's scene" as well
(specially done by me xDD)  

 Last sharing of photo: 3 of us in "Free" character :x
(oh gosh..I look so girlish... :x)
  
As it was my first time in cosplaying,
I thought cos in a female's character would be much easier 
for a beginner like me
but somehow I think I was wrong... orz


I'm not very girlish 
but my Gou's cosplay makes people around me 
thought me as a cute and sunshine female character 
(both my baby face and height portray me as that I guess :/ )

so some photographer asked me to pose some cute pose..
and... because I was too stiff so they gave up :x

I'm not sure because it was my first time or 
either because I'm not really good in letting others to take my photo
(mostly I'm the one who play the photographer role)
I always think that I'm not photogenic hence I didn't took much picture
 so suddenly when there are people asking you
"can I take your photo?"
and I was like "are you sure you are ok with me?" in a shock look
(ya,I'm not confident... orz)


lots of people around me always complaining or give hint to me 
that I look dull from top till the bottom :/
well, I know it's true but it's still hurt you know
when you guys say so 
and I kept remembering it until right now :(


searching for ways to be able to look even better,
but it really took me courage to do so
is not that I want to be boyish,
I just prefer a casual,comfortable,not too fancy appearance


In an adult's age and
 I know that I should be in a proper lady or women's look
 and yet I still look like a young, high school girl 
I don't think it's bad to be look young though :/


I tried cosplay not only because I'm interested in it
but as well as trying to learn make up and ways of tidy up myself
so that I can look a bit better than how I am right now... 
I'm not sure whether it will works out or not 
it maybe a bit wasteful when you have to spend money 
to buy wig, clothes and others for cosplaying
but there are some benefits in another way


at first I also thought it was quite wasteful in playing cosplay 
(I'm sorry to say this...)
plus most of us have no income :(

but Japan's cosplayer,Kaname 
makes me realize the gain of cosplaying :
come into contact with make up or to look even better,
 you will try to take good care of your facial, diet and daily practice
and to try to save money
 you will try to make your own cloths and other required material
so you build up sewing skills and handwork
something like that 
 it was like at the same time you cosplay, you learn something
 I'm not sure I can be like what he say, but guess bit by bit will make a change...



I know it maybe a bit childish in my age (though I'm still young)
involved in cosplay
people around you might say
"you are not growing up at all", ":acting like a kids" ect
but
I only have one life, and I'm getting older year by year 
If I don't try things that I wanted to do
I may regret further later 
living envious of the others doesn't make me feel happy at all :(


my first time in cosplay,
I felt happy and fun but at the same time feeling down as well
due to that I'm not skillful enough to bring out the character
and stiff, not photogenic enough in photo taking
but I guess it was just a beginning :) 


I don't know how many years I can play cosplay
how many years I can still doing things that I like
how many years,how many years....

but to be able to do things that you wanted to do
 makes you feel your life are meaningful

Gawai- keep eyes green to mount Singai

 It's holiday on 1st,2nd and 3rd June at Sarawak 
due to Gawai festival 

honestly,I'm quite an indoor person
it really take some effort to grab me out from house
(I also don't know how to change this shut-in attitude either...)

and so,been persuaded to have a short climb at mount Singai
(exactly different like what the comic picture shown above though :p )

 It's quite a short climb
around 30 minutes to reach till the end

 Dare to have a sit at here? 

 Quite steep at some area
have to be extra careful 


 There are cross monuments
at each stop of the stair 
around 9 or 10 of them up till the end
which you can stop by to have a rest
and pray

 Keep clean!
(It's quite clean all along the climb,
didn't saw much rubbish)



 A huge tree! 
guess how many years it have been grown
in this forest? 


 Got cheated by dad
saying that this is a rubber seed ==
it's a worm!
aiks!
(quickly wipe hand on dad's shirt)
p/s: be aware of some strange worms and catepillar
(especially around the handrail of sitting site)

 little waterfall at the foot of the mount

After that,having lunch at Bau
and been brought to see Tasik Biru
I don't know what to describe this lake
it's big and.... green (should be Tasik Hijau,haha)
was told that the lake look beautiful 
if it is not wavering
you will see shadow of scenery 
but unfortunately,
our luck is not there


***
well, climbing mount Singai certainly is much more relaxing
compared to climb other high hills or mount
have been sit in the office for long time,
so I guess it's not too bad to have a small exercise
to stretch my strained muscle and lose some fat :/

wonder how Japan's rural area looks like?
if it's much more convenient and well developed
I guess I will like it very much :x

Archery! 一緒に遊ぼうよ!

Met old teammates by having Japanese cuisine and gave in some nostalgia old stories :)
Feels really great when you found out that you have compatible teammates,
although we could be considered as retired athletes right now... (haha)


 
After a very full dinner, went to have a walk at a nearby shopping mall (City one) and ended up trying archery!
I've always wanted to try it since at KK,but doesn't grab the chance:x
Finally, I played it this time at Kuching! TT皿TT











Our big brother xD















Our younger sister xDD










and the handsome me :P
 The Taiji triplet in archery! :D 
(ohh,at last we did took a triplet photo last night!)
looks so cool! lol xDD



It's really required lots of strength to pull the bow until your arrow reach its head,
hand should not bend and shake, 
and the tail of the arrow should aim right in front of your eyes (@_@)
feels kind a little different from Japanese kyuudou (弓道) which the arrow is actually pull till reach your ears :x 
but still archery or 弓道 , both just look so cool and awesome :D
(but I would prefer 弓道 more :x )


well, did gave in some good shoot and of course some even running out of the circle of target ! :x
can't really aim well
I guess I will become much more pro if I'm willing to pay more and practice xDD
It is encourage to go in a group which you could play more arrows in a reasonable price! :DD
we played around 36 arrows and I felt it was not enough xDDD
once you try it,you will ask for more :P



















After that, bet on RM5 to watch our big brother to play the machine which pay token to grab dolls 


And it was a failure that RM5 we didn't manage to grab even a doll!
He spent another RM5 and.....he got a very cute giraffe! 
omg, this little cute thing actually cost RM10! ==lll
I now finally understand why people are willing to spent lots of money just to grab the doll
it is actually challenging your patient and satisfaction ==llll
I guess I will just shut my eyes close to prevent seeing those calling money-dolls ( /_\)



An awesome,fun and tiring Thursday night :)

I didn't wasted my precious time :))
and I wanted to try archery again next time! :DD

A mother's heart,Happy Mother's Day [stop motion video]


Our first stop motion video!
done together with Tonyong :D

The drawing may not seems nice
and overall may not graded as prefect
but it was fun during the process :)

video motive:
"There are different kinds of mother around the world,
but every mother gave the same love,
when these loves come together,
they form a carnation"

Photo taken credits to Tonyong 

Really thanks to Tonyong for offering the opportunity
and also doing the rest of her part :)
(Thank you!)

and 
a late one
"Happy Mother's Day" :)

Breakfast for Mother's day

  First time prepared breakfast for family
and it was on Mother's day
It was really a bit hurried
Worried that first try will success or not 
but everything just went fine! (phew)
 
I don't know what this recipe call
but saw it from facebook 
quite simple and easy!
and it tastes nice too 


The baked bread was crunchy, 
and every single ingredients hold well to each other
 it's not like sandwiches or burger that we eat
which the ingredients can't really hold well within the bread
and tends to drop out whenever you give a bite

The egg yolk may seems not fully cooked, 
but once you bite it,
it was actually solidified just like the texture of hard boiled egg yolk :D

It was not a heavy breakfast but it gives satisfying full feeling
1 or 1 1/2  (え?) is enough to keep you full
but still depends on one's appetite:)

 

 Last shot before enjoying! :D

Brief sharing:
Ingredients: egg, tomatoes, ham/bacon slices (I used ham) and sandwiches bread

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven 190 C
2. Put 1 slice of ham/bacon + 1 piece of tomatoes on a piece of bread
3. Remove the middle portion of another sandwiches bread (for the top) to form an empty square
4. Put the bread (from no.3) on top of the bread (no.2)
5. Break 1 egg into the bread
6. Bake 190 C for 15 minutes
7. Eat xDD

* Read from some net saying that : 10 minutes (baking)= egg is yolk-runny, 13 minutes= slightly runny and 15 minutes=fully cooked

Anywhere, I do not own this recipe
I just saw it and gave a try
 :x

コスプレ イベント 2014 (Kch Sentral)

A mini cosplay event at Kuching Sentral (12/4/2014)!
 
Well,just went there to have a peep and try to fullfill my "cosplay photographing mission" (cough)
But in fact,was actually invited by a cosplayer friend :p   














 Starting my mission's journey with an awkward feel as I don't know what should I do been together with them....
So took some silly pictures....
(ahem,just wanna show that they were busy! 
no ill intension,ahem! xD)


 












Gin finally debut into the cosplay's world! 
She was cosplaying own designed character :)
At first look, she really looks like those Japanese rocker singer! :O  



















Some other cosplayers also came to play on the event!















 I shall named this picture as 
"Cosplayer's Discussion" 
lol









 Kofuku from Noragami :D 
she is a cute one :)






































Akaito and Kaito from Vocaloid :)
wow,that was really a high heel :x

  
 
Vocaloid Kagamine Lens from Senbonzakura
Both of them cos as a couple because using the same color wig 
and of course Gin who wore red trousers took the male's role xDD

 Every cosplayers (workers) posing on the stage 
after their cat walk show (meow)

 And there was also a mini concert!
Gin and the Senbonzakura sang Shingeki no Kyojin's op
GUREN NO YUMIYAAAAAAAAA 
xDD 

After that was photography session!
 













Lots of spectators asked for photo taking with them :)











And I'm also busy using my unskilful technique to take lots of their photos xP
Though I'm not a professional one, but always found enjoyable to take cosplayer photo :)
Hopefully one day I have the chance to involve in those true photography session of cosplay (blink blink)












And also finally met up Armin :D
glad that I didn't scare her off with my "to hua" face(豆花脸) :s














 Our handsome Kaito :)



Everyone was really happy taking photo with the cosplayer
including this brother which looks like really immersing in the joyful lake xD
Yo brother,I can understand your feeling
because sailor uniform are really the best! 最高だ!  \(w < )
Not forgetting a group photo :)
 
 Opps!Spring's version have come! xDD


At first it was really awkward because we don't even know each other and for no reason I stick with them ran up and down the whole shopping mall to accompanied them to give out candy and free food voucher (the cosplay event was hold by a new opening food court boss which wanted to invite people to visit their food court :) 


There were some people got attracted by Gin (during candy giving) and asked for taking photo together like the hair salon worker xDD 

But it was quite fun as well when following them behind (like a stalker or a ghost,aiks :s)

and when seeing a group of cosplayer sticking together, a strange feeling came to me, make me thought that they were cool :p
Conversely out of my imagination, found out that most of them were actually a shy baby xD
*(especially our Kaito :p )



Did have a fun time (though the event was a bit cheerless :x )
and I also spotted a handsome hair stylist from one of the hair salon! LOL 
(that hairstyle was really good-looking! xDD oh gosh, got attracted by the hair style on the 1st sight actually xDD)  


Hope that Kuching will have even more Japanese culture event so that we can enjoy even more fun :)
 














 
Lastly,
I really llike this combination! xDD
