-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

Cosplay plan?

Recently i had been inspired by some male cosplayers. Yea, biologically MALE CROSSPLAYERS. Why ah why, they are so godly feminine and pwetty than a real girl. *___* I'm jealous, i'm envy, i'm totally amused.



Therefore, although it is very rare, and to the point it is very shocking to even myself, i think i MIGHT try out some FEMALE cosplays next time. XD

But i wont guarantee it will looks nice thou, or even moe or cute. >__<

I donno when i'll did it, or even actually execute what i had said, but there's no harm to stay tune over this? You guys do remind me to do this FEMALE cosplay if i tend to forget and continue doing male cosplays. X'D

Btw, what FEMALE cosplays do you think i can do?? I had done Yuuki from VK(replacing friend), Apache from Bleach(also replacing friend) and Cho Chang from HP. All of them are NOT nice to me actually, i really failed to become a girl LOL. hahahahaha~ T__T

Do suggest! Any of them you think fits me. Since i'm quite short n small size, i think can fit a few kua~ DO NOT gimme those with big boobies one ok~ no super moe i think moe is quite a good new challenge for me? XD Ganas/Aggressive girl is more suitable for my personality though.

I MIGHT go for the one you suggest oh. Cause seriously right now my mind is blank LOL. Assignment tension. oTL



Journal/blog/cover up that I still OWE:
Cosfest VIII trip and event coverup
-YES i still friggin OWE everyone this entry! and that GACC in Melaka, Malaysia is next week >__<>

Comic Fiesta entry back at December 2008?!
-orz i totally failed, to the point this old entry is still not written. ;A; Since everytime i have holidays i'm back hometown and no internet+PC at home so i cannot utilise the free time to write. >_<

1 more week xD

Haha, yea some of you might seen this tagline at my MSN already~

1 more week to certain people to get OLD. oTL

I'm nothing special or great enough for ppl to willing think of various stuff, buy expensive things for me. and people forgets my BD, so well yeah, i doesnt mind. I think i can just sing BD song to myself and oh yea, with something new, play BD song on violin to myself. It did be cool, playing it at 12am (sorry neighbour) and self-entertain(syok sendiri).

Remember that i cannot celebrate last year? so this year techinically i'm skipping 19th and go for 20th BD. Its been 2 years since last celebrated. I still remember its my first time celebrate without my family. Instead its with my new collegemate (Just get in college for 3 months only), i'm pretty touched they do so for me. Throughout the years i keep celebrating for ppl, but not mine. I already lost the feeling of how it feels like to open present. haha i'm dreaming. I does want to get back home to celebrate. Last time during my BD was my sem break, i was so thrill but mom said it should be forgotten cause its not good luck. This year i'm in college, but its a Saturday, and next year is Sunday. Guess if it falls on weekends i'll be able to spent this day silently in my room alone. Nevermind, silent night is holy night, i can play this song too. Great. Actually BD is just another normal day, its just slightly special cause you gets older by 1 year on this day officially and technically.

Jeremy told me to do my Toastmasters #10 last speech at HELP uni then i can get my trophy there, as a present for myself. LOL. sedih giler. X'D

Still, birthday is still birthday, i wanna make a wishlist, though i know it wont happen. So just let me day dreaming abit can? XD

1) DSLR camera with external flash + fish eye lens.
- haha, has been wanted one, but its so bulky and no video function makes me hate it. and that i also donno how to operate old model, new ones with buttons are easier. XD But nowadays i been doing more diff and higher standard type of photo(or so i wish to), my prosumer cant produce picture i wanted. T_T heavy noise, aperture not good, macro not sharp.

--ah well i really dont wish anything one usually as i am the type of person dream of anything and it WONT happen, or sumting terrible happen. therefore in order to keep what i want i stripe not to think of it XD--

2) Gingerbread plushie.

-ever since i watch Shrek i have been falling in love with the gingerbread. XD and that i saw my friend got a giant gingerbread for her BD make me envy her alot. Hers is around 100cm tall? I saw it at a shop nearby my home's Jusco. I hint it very obviously to my mom but its very expensive, 80 bucks for big and 30 for small? Nah, let me dream and drool here la~ XD

--actually i have alot of stuff and that i'm satisfy and appreciate with what i have so i dont usually demand for stuff. Its actually quite hard to list down things, i donno what i want. I dont dream for things its impossible to get or expensive ones since i wont be able to own them anyway. We cannot forever live in the dream do we? XD ahah, thought of something while writting~--

3) New set of harddrive for my PC.
-New CPU casing, better graphic card, new mother board, power supply. i want a LCD monitor!(yea mine is still the CRT bulky monitor =_=) DVD burner. Speaker no need since i got new Altec Lansing 2.1 this year. XD

4) Headset with mic needed!
-LOL, cause some while ago was having video call with friends. My mic failed me, i have to scream and the sound is so soft. It aint sensitive. Headset is when i'm back home next year i can use it without disturbing my parents at night. Usually i hate it and use speaker instead, it hurts my ears.

5) Demanding a bigger External Harddisk. 1.5Tb, or 2Tb? XD
-Liek, i thought i have TWO Ex-HDD already? One 250Gb, and 500Gb? my 500Gb is full in half year time, my 250 wiring got problem, always got error. So its dangerous to store things in there, it might failed you when u need it.

6) Shaker, jiggle, stirrer cocktail set

-haha, i've been pretty much hook up with cocktail ever since 'that day'. But without shaker especially, you basically cant do much at all. A set of these will make things come true and you can start making cocktails YAY!

-Look at the set, its so amusing! Cocktail travelling set!! *__* i cant find good set or that its not even selling. maybe i havent try specialise shop, if not sure can find. XD
-ah i wanted the BOOK, not only recipe (its so easy to find especially 'Cocktail 101' or Best recipe etc. but i want a book explains the history and origin of each spirits (brandy, gin, vodca, rum, whiskey, cocnac) and other countries' alchohol like Sake of Japan, matai of China~~ Its pointless if you know how to mix and drink without knowing the history, origin and the meaning behind it. =D

7) Yukata
-has been wanted one ever since i first atten Bon Odori festival. Its expensive so i always let it go. This year almost buy one already but its RM250, it comes with a set of yukata + obi + geta + kinchaku. but its not well spent for something wearing once a year so i let it go. and to prevent my mum to strangle me buying unnessecary stuff again

Haha i think thats all kua~ readers sorry for reading my day dreaming post. ^^; I wished them but i cant get them since i'm not that wealthy to spent on stuff like these. In love with Laptop too but since i'm graduating next year and i'll be moving my PC back home so its not neccessary unless my work needs it~

Thanks for reading, have a nice day. =D

Badminton Tournament report

I LOSE.

yea, i did, in a very SAD way. T_____T

my single starts first, but opponent never come so i walked over. fine.

then i waited 3 hours for next match: mixed double. My friend is terribly strong they keep smash us we lose in less than 10 minutes time. I think there's only 6 or 7 mins only? and the worst is that i dint even get to hit much at all. They're all aiming my friend. It sucks when you are standing there, witnessing your friend getting hit and you cant help it. In overall i think i only use up to 5% only. Not even a good smash or skill or technique is been used AT ALL.

Due to the 'lucky' walked over for my single, i have to go on day 2. My opponent is a Laos state level player. Damn i almost lost in a 21-0 game man. but at least this time i get to hit more than 42 balls. But skill used about 15-20% only? SAD giler. oTL

Guess i'm really LAME. should train more so i can be better next year! Found a very very cool girl who is able to play as well as a guy, totally adore her! She gaves me a very good motivation and inspiration to become better! *__*

They got mixed double champion, the match is epic. Caught some shots that i'm satisfied but due to the lousy lighting in the hall PLUS with high shutter picture, the ISO had to be set high. Hence the noise is so much and the quality suck big time. >_>

In this tournament are some Laos national players (the bro and sis pair is awesome), taiwanese, malaysia KL state player and the rest i not sure but there are several very good as well, better than last year.

Group photo tiem~


Peter and Yong Kian for men's double

Laos players for mixed double final, they got 2nd. he has a very EPIC jumping smash. my fav shot of the day, too bad the quality sucks. Really needa a good DSLR to overcome these problem. T__T

Trophies~ wish i have them. *day dreaming* xD

Mixed double trophie owned by champion Peter and Desiree

Badminton Tournament

Yea, for the first time ever, i joined college's closed badminton tournament. Rest assure, i join not because i'm that super awesome, in fact, i'm LAME. LOL. You see, i dont have the strength to hit it hard, i dont know how to smash... i guess i'm already losing half before the match starts. ^^;

Had been wanting to join a mixed double match since the guy will be able to cover my weaknesses. Randomly found one and to my surprise he plays for his school last time. Well, this doesnt mean he is superb too, that was at least 5 years ago. ^^;

Why am i downgrading myself before the tournament? I joined both Women single and Mixed double. For women single, i'm playing the first match. =_=
As for Mixed double, is the 7th match. and its against my very own friend/classmate. XD But from what i know and experience, both of my friend is power player. Meaning they hit the ball very hard and both knows to smash. and that on monday 8 of them went for training for 5 hours!! crazy sial~ and that they were train for smash and tapping. I'm finished. T__T

I only train 4 times nia. First was about 2 weeks ago, about half - 1 hour warm-up practise. Then 2 hours there and 1.5 hr on Sun and 2.5 hrs on Mon. Not enough man~ too rush jor, and all are play at random floor and road. >_> all were fully booked by participants. oTL

Hope luck will be with me since all the practise was not done in a court. So i'm fearing the technique and speed are there but keep getting off court, then it did be useless. oTZ

Cosfest~ a brief one XD

Alright Cosfest is over last week and i seen ppl that went had already make the report about it. But i'm just too busy to even write it. Gah the assignments. oTZ Photos from the event also just gotten them from my friend's camera 2 days ago.

Will update it properly as i'm really happy of the outcome. I'm glad i make it to the event. Daicon wasnt that good from the feedback i saw.

I NEVER REGRET GOING TO COSFEST!! =D

sorry if you had already read this tagline at here and there. i cant help it cause it's really make of awesomeness. XDD

Cosfest is trully 'A VERY HAPPY EVENT'. everyone was happy, tomodachi are happy, i'm happy. =3

CosFest Cosplay Planning

CosFest is next week and 3 of us are yet to confirm what to cosplay yet. Dx

But most probably gonna do KHR on day 1 and VK on day 2. Researched at SGcafe a lil, surprisingly all groups did KHR on day 2 and VK on day 1. So no crashing with the groups. As for KHR, should be no ppl doing the version we plan. Works or not have to see how i chiong the things out. oTZ Making a list below so i can keep track on what things i need to do..


Things need to make/do/buy/sew:
1) 16 red boxes + 1 beige/green box
2) 5 rings, lucky 1 no need to buy/make, can borrow~
3) brown crackers with wordings on it, should be making 6 only, dont want pressure myself. Dx
4) skull cannon. Oh gosh i wonder is it even workable. I found a person make it awesomely, but she took months to make it. I have relatively 1 week, how... oTZ
5) a cross with diamond shape necklace
6) Thick white belt with 2 more hang on both side of the waist
7) Punk/Jrock style wristband
8) Black shortsleeve jacket (oh nooes, all my jacket is either long or sleeveless T_T)
9) nice sky blue elbow level sleeve shirt


Haha, i'm technically listing out what i need to prepare for this character. I bed it has enough hint on who i'm doing right? XDD

But i guess its not really possible to chiong all props out for next week. DAMN you, so many stuff! Dx Seeing i still need to do my assignments and also a speech presentation on next tuesday, a party on next wednesday.

Maybe i'll redo this character back in malaysia with FULL GEAR! =D

As for another character, need to style the wig. But then travelling around will make the condition bad since i dont have a manequin head. Maybe i go over SG only style.

Very doki-doki with it, since this will be my first time go to Sg event. Dont know what to expect. But thinking can meet up with some of the cosplayer that i know gets me excited a little. X)
