CNY super random photoshoot

Thursday I went for a very random shoot with Sin, Drag n Aoi(super random tagging along from FB). You know why this shoot is so random? Cause the night before, wednesday la, Sin MSN me say wanna be their model for shoot anot. Cause this 2 guys keep nagging want to photoshoot with me very long already.. So I say, ok On On! then we randomly get a place, cosplay, costume, n time..It's just the casual Gokudera lor~

On thursday Sin came pick me, but was late 1 hour cause TAKA SLEPT IN BATHROOM FOR AN HOUR OMG.. but dropping him at Sunway, then we both go Ikea eat meatballs, meet up with Aoi. Then i want go buy a tie cause i forgot it.. go Daiso buy cheap black tie which is written as 'FUNERAL tie'. After that go Damansara pick up Drag. donno where to shoot... so simply find an alley, found place jor then go nearby Giant get change then head back n shoot. Shoot finish jor go dinner then continue drive over to Putrajaya n shoot night scene. OMG damn siao can. haha. I never have solo photoshoot with 3 photographers, n shoot at 2 very different places(very far!).. Lucky my clothings is simple and casual so its comfortable and easy. =)

Our shoot dint set time or place... damn random one haha. at first we said go Ikea shoot, then Drag was late so we change to random alley near his place. After that they say night scene at Putrajaya is nice, so I say 'want go anot?' They say dont mind, so we okok, go lor.. haha, random right?

The shoot at Putrajaya quite short n not that nice cause 2 photographers run out of batteries. So left Drag shooting there, no fun liao.. I suggest to shoot something related to CNY. So was shooting me throwing the angpaos.. I tell you ho, its so damn tiring... throwing it up is no problem, but picking it up again n again can die wei...that one shoot for at least 20+ shots. At first Sin got the shot d, then Drag want shoot also, then need throw again. T__T ended up throwing+picking angpaos around 50 times. >_<

Angpaos falling down from the sky~~

I posted this on Facebook, so sad some ppl thought the angpao is photoshopped in. *CRIES* The angpaos are REAL, NOT photoshopped in.. T__T

The chinese character on angpao is actually GOLD colour, but due to the angle it looks like black. I guess that's y the angpao near my shoulder looks like being burn. but actually it should be due to the flash light reflecting the golden word on angpao. With a slower shutter then it drags longer lor..my teory la. XD And also so COINCIDENTALLY all angpao facing the same side OMG.. talk about luck man... and the floor right behind me became POND already. Drag says it is the pond of fortune woh~ XDDD

Was suppose to JUMP while throwing them, but after few tries think it is bad idea so I just stand there... Drag has a different shoot where I kneel on ground, need wait him for the photo.

But very sad la due to some reason we called off the shoot earlier and dint manage to catch the shoot at the bridge. All in all it was super fun and enjoying... first time having shoot like this. Summore shoot from afternoon till night (ok i'm quite sampat cause i dont have much shoot at all).

\

\

Next day, I suppose to go movie marathon alone, then Drag n Sin wants to tag along, n also drag's gf. So we meet up at Mid Valley but only watch Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief. cause other movies' review not good. The movie is good! go watch it haha. Also met up with Aoi which Drag n Sin keep saying is my bf like WTF i only know him on thursday.. to get photos from him.. cause he leaving to NZ on sunday liao. We have Sushi Zanmai which the guys dont like sob.. then Sin sent me back Uni..

The CNY hols ended with some randomly added on fun... now time to jiong assignments.. test coming soon too. OMG >_<

CNY decoration with Gokudera dynamites?

Ah, Chinese new year is coming soon.. right now, it is exactly 3 weeks away. i was wondering how i want to decorate my hostel this year... Last year i just decorate it the midnight b4 i head out to meet my parents for CNY lol.. Last year I was writting some 'Chun Lian'(chinese couplets), making some angpao fishes and little lantern for deco.

This year i was thinking why dont I make some smaller dynamites, Gokudera style and hang it at the door...

\

\

...and of course the dynamite will be make flammable. XD

My proud dynamite production. XD Took this when I was testing the effect, the very first time I making the dynamites for Gokudera, back at 3 days before Cosfest 2009.

And this is when it is being used at GACC 2009. XD

As for CF2009 I had upgraded my dynamites from just pouring out sparkles into real exploding dynamites. Although the exploding power is very very little. Not enough to even kill a cat. XD

So for the CNY dynamites I gonna make it using the one explode-able...

\

\

I hope no one go lit it up and baaannnngggg....LOL

You think good idea? :D

Happy belated Birthday Gokudera!

Just felt like doing an entry for him. =3

Well OK I know it is yesterday, but then I having exam mar, so now doing (oik, like you dont have exam 2mrw!)

Yesterday morning 5.30am only i sleep, suppose to wake up at 7am and continue chew the Advertising & Promotion textbook, but i forgot to change the alarm from 6am to 7am.. So it rang at 6am, of course i turn it off for not getting enuf sleep yet...so i continue to dooze off...until i woke up at 8.30am,look at the clock, hmm 8.30am alright...just right before i doze of again, i realize i totally overslept! Immediately jump off the bed. XD

So I continue to eat the pages and head off for exam at 1.30pm. Thank god its in the afternoon.

We were given 100% (50% overall in this subject) to write about Google and Internet! You will never know how hard to write about them. ;A;

Actually i more focus on this chapter cause it is at the later part of the text book and i'm reading from the back LOL. But I dont think i can score cause i never finished the last question which has 30%! Screw UK for giving us all this theory papers with only 2 hours! Last time we have 3 hours paper.. T___T

Oh yea, i'm totally out of topic. XD As title said, yesterday is Gokudera's Birthday, as a Goku cosplayer myself, i decided to do something for him. Did a MEME on my Deviantart too. And yep, manage to get it done~ ( http://w4n1n0k0.deviantart.com/journal/27103767/ ) Since i'm still having exam, the 'yummy' photo of Gokudera will have to wait until my paper finish 2mrw, and prepare and snap it and shop it. X'D

Ah forgot to mention, is it because i'm Gokudera cosplayer, i'm having a pretty bad stomachache in the morning before my exam... Until I have to eat medicine to cure it. Or is it i smell my nee-chan's POISON COOKING? orz

OK, i think i have mood to study my exam now... Research ah research, Gokudera stripe to study how to complete CAI stuff... i also need to study and research too...Tomorrow's paper: Marketing Research... another horrible subject with crazy points for little writting. Either pass with flying in the cloud nine or fail badly. T_T

Gotta go study, will update when my exam finishes tomorrow!

GACC Plans + Uber tight schedule

MMU Melaka, Malaysia's 2nd biggest and very happening event GACC is going to be held this weekend. EPICness within.

However i had received and noticed several ppl cancelling the trip due to H1N1. Probably reason because Melaka is quite heavily infected with those virus.

Furthermore, without seiyuu coming to the event this year, people wont really missed out alot this year. Thus it makes more ppl deciding not to go. But GACC has always been EPIC, be it with or without seiyuu. We're going to enjoy the event not forcing urself to go. What's the point if they bringing a seiyuu but u dont even know right? If it is, its more like DaiCon already. GACC is a very warm and happening event where ppl and cosplayers get to have fun and gathering, as simple as that.

But i cant cancel cause i needa meet up my bro, pass his stuff and get my MONEH back(helped him buy book), bus ticket and accommodation paid, costume make. X'D And it is also gonna be last event gathering with my friends that are flying oversea for studies. So i need to make it! And also another 'reason'. You will probably know on GACC itself. ah, i had just been confirmed that i have something else to do on GACC too. haiz~ seriously got tied up already. T_T

Now gets on my tight schedule :

Night assignment

Tues:

Wed :
Sleep in the morning and chiong assignments, skipping class at 3-5pm since nothing to teach already. I'm so glad he actually postponed the test to monday, at least we can focus on the other assignment properly. night 7.30pm go class for practise of that ridiculous kick?

Thurs :
8-10am class, continue one last chance for assignment b4 5pm. Hand in assignment ade then 5-7pm meeting and briefing of the GACC trip. Go back, chiong props, wig cutting, research on poses and make up on character.

Mon: 8-12pm class, 1pm is the TEST! *dies*

GACC cosplays :
Day 1 : Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass, uniform version
Group : Duo with my MENTALLY DISORDER Lelouch (liek really, IRL. Dont RAEP me!)
Note : gonna practise the ridiculous spin kick of his. but wont be doing on left leg since i'm a right leg right hand person. 2 months no training, hope i can resume the fitness.. Kick is easy, but jumping + kick is another matter. later i slip and fell, Lelouch gonna laugh at me. /gg
Note 2 : Hmm, actually its pretty tension for me to cosplay someone that is so POPULAR and highly recognizeable by anime fans. I really scared to spoilt ppl's fandom. but i'll try my best to cosplay him properly, with the epic stoned face with my Lelouch and cracking sadistic smiles with him LOL

Day 2: Gokudera Hayato from KHR, Sistema CAI version (again =_= )
Group : mini group same like cosfest, but i think got 1 more fella, noisy one
Note 1 : Dynamites alert! New exploding paowah! *yosh* Hope i wont be blacklist from the event. Gotten some new exploding stuff from friend. Its very tiny only, about 1 inch length, but my friend said the sound is loud and its dangerous, liek really. Gonna test run the power b4 GACC to see the potential harmful scope for this.
Note 2 : seriously NO IMPROVISE on props! like, seriously no time lor. but FYI, after GACC, i'll DISPART EVERYTHING from my skull cannon and improvise it to the EXTREME!(no its not a word from my mouth,damn ryouhei). Every other parts of the props will be fully improvise and it is really going to be EPIC. 8D ahemfunctionableskullcannonanddangerousd ynamitesahem 8D

-Belt = 0% nothing is make at that time

======EPIC Journey starts======
Day 1 : 9th July 2009, THURSDAY night, a LONG night

Since i still have class from 8-10am, after class i rush back room and start continue to chiong props. I hot glue alot of stuff(like as usual, sorry sam xD) I was so confident that i have another pack of glue refill till at night it actually finished! O_o 6 of them + initial 2 sticks. Get dinner and free drinks for my poor slavejuniors Elaine and San up my room and continue the work.

Props status at 9.55pm (took off at 10pm):
-Dynamites done earlier
-Skull cannon = 90% (all main stuff is done except detail colouring, fire and abit on the red stripes) Spray 4 times in half hour's time, it is a MIRACLE the paint dint come off at all! Amazing. *__*
-16+2 boxes = 80% (silver edges done and painted, skull heads moled but not stick on yet)
-White belt = 0% (nothing was done again, can still continue at SG)
-Sky blue shirt modification = 0% (lol no time, i brought the clothes & cloth i bought to SG lol)

My room is having a TORNADO lvl 8 LOL, seriously no time to clean. Packing done in 10 minutes time, props are SWEPT into plastic bags. orz

My friend who suppose to arrange transport for me as i had triple duplet confirmed with him was delayed. He suppose to get car for me but cant so get a taxi. He said he gonna call a cab once i hang up. Stupidly he only call when i met up with him. and i thought i have 10 minutes (for the driver to drive to my college) to properly double check anything i left out especially the SG dollars and passport. At this very moment Sam called me they missed the train at KL Sentral. Funny thing is that they assumed it was 10pm where its actually 9.35pm. I was pissed they nvr check it, so they got on a cab n rush down to Seremban to meet me (i boarding here).

The cab is very late, 10 mins for Sotong to wait me(which he sud have called the moment i hang the phone), 10 mins for driver to come. I was jokingly telling Sotong that Sam they missed train, later i missed it also. but this CAME TRUE! I reached Nilai KTM station, waited 25 mins and the train suppose to come but it aint. Then I saw our SG train passed by me. If the SG train came b4 the usual train, obviously i will missed it cause a station cant accomodate 2 trains at the same time. I was panicked but it obviously wont stop for me.

I devastated and called Sam if they can get the train to stop for longer which i know its impossible. Train finally came, hop on, waiting and praying i wont missed it. Sam called they reaches Seremban already and the train came. Uberly panicked. then i got a call that COMPLETELY broke my heart:"we're in train now, but it took off already.."

Silent remains on my side, i'm on the way to Seremban, reached the station only 5 mins late. but it aint important anymore, MY TRAIN LEFT ME. T_T

There is actually 1 more last train from Seremban back to KL, but everyone ask me to try get a bus. I hurriedly walked to bus station nearby hoping to get ticket, alone, walking a long path in midnight. Arrived at bus station, checked, but the only bus will reach at a ridiculous 3am at Langkir, Johor. Bus to KL no more opperating at midnight. DOOM I AM. i called Allen, he fetch me all the way from Cheras-Seremban-Cheras back to his home. [If he was fetching Sam them, he wouldnt need to travel to the same place and saved their money too] Its 40 mins drive from his house, i waited. Imagine i'm STRANGED ALONE at the station MIDNIGHT, it sucks. A lot of things came in my mind: scared, terrified, dissapointed, sad, lonely. I nearly wanted him to just drive me back college, sleep for the day and go Daicon at Cyberjaya, Malaysia instead.

Around 1am Allen arrived, drove me to Pudu and manage to get myself earliest bus on Friday morning to SG. Yes i'm so EMO i hardly utter a word the whole trip back his house. Then we headed back Allen's house at 2.30am, settled down, continue with my props. Allen brings in his collection: 3 bottles of White wine, Rum and something else. We had the Australian white wine while i continue make props and him helping to fold a diamond for me. The white wine is only 30% alchohol i think, but just 1 glass i go tipsy already lol, i had 2. =_= He accompanied me and chat while i unpack all my luggage and arrange them properly, do a little touch up on the props ONLY. He taught me abit on how to get around SG once i drop off and borrowed me a map.

I slept at 5.15am, my bus is 7.30am =_=

=======Part 1 finished, part 2 continues another entry=======
Damn i write it as long as a story! i think just 1 night's coverage is longer than the whole trip coverage by Sam. O_o
1.5k words just for a night's story. My goodness. =_=
writes from 12am till 4.20am lol
