放課後オタク買い物！ｗｗｗ

It's been a while since I've gone to Kinokuniya! And lol they revamped the whole place, me and my friend were totally lost at first, but we eventually found our way around www

Bought these lovely goods after school....I'm so happy! All for a little under $50~ :D (bless you Kino Privilege Card)

Actually I went to school but I didn't attend class....because I was sick and wearing a mask, my teacher was like it's ok you can go home if you're not feeling well. I took the opportunity and left class pfffttt *shot*

I WANT MY HOLIDAYS BACK >A<

STGCC 2014 Day 1

I attended the Singapore Toys, Games & Comics Convention (6-7 September) today at Marina Bay Sands and this marks my very first visit to the annual event. It's kind of like the Asian version of Comic-Con (it's the event's collaboration partner btw), and here's where East (anime) meets West (DC/Marvel). I've been meaning to go for the past few years but I usually forgot about it. I couldn't afford to forget this year's though. Especially today's. Reason?

SUGITA.

TOMOKAZU.

To be honest I almost gave up on attending the event today cos no one was free to accompany me. I was distraught since I'd woken up early (early as in not my usual waking time which is usually between 9.30-10.30am lol) and there were complications and some of my family members changing their minds about going so I eventually left the house at 1.30pm (special thanks to my uncle who offered to drive us there on the way to his in-laws' house) :'D My family's the type who doesn't allow me to go to many places without someone accompanying me so my mum offered to accompany me...www

Sugita's panel started at 2pm and I arrived at the convention centre right on the dot. By then I was really anxious so I rushed to the ticket counter (leaving my mum behind lol) and luckily the queue was really fast. I paid for two 2-Day tickets and hurried into the convention hall. I had no idea where the stage was held so I followed my sense of hearing. Someone was speaking on a microphone? Check. Fangirls screaming? Check. Someone welcoming Sugita onto stage? CHECK.

And there he was. I'd dropped my ticket the moment I saw him and I didn't even notice it OTL He was decked in a black T-shirt, black shorts, and a black beanie. It's a pity he didn't come in Gintoki cosplay XD When I arrived he had already started doing a live dubbing for one of the Gintama episodes as Gintoki. It was amazing!! *o* After the dubbing session, there was a Q&A session. I'd love to share what was asked and his answers, but unfortunately the sound system wasn't loud enough and the crowd was deafening so I couldn't hear much of what was being said T__T He held his usual poker face the whole way XDD But seriously man Sugitan. is. AMAZING. His presence on stage was....hhhhhhh oh gosh *___*

Well that's all I have to say for Day 1. I'll (hopefully! no promises ;;;;;;) be attending Day 2 so more coming tomorrow, along with photos! ^^

I'm back~ And new project announcements from Rejet _(:з｣∠)_

I'm finally back after my last post in February...wow that was quite a long time ago! XD

Anyway, while I was away, a lot of things happened (well my Tumblr and Twitter are almost always active so I mostly get updates from there www) but seriously, one thing I want to punch really hard is Rejet! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

A few weeks back they announced some new projects and at that point of time I was trying to finish up one of my homeworks =__= In the end I got distracted and ended up sleeping for only two hours OTL To make matters worse I had makeup class the next morning, followed by an industry trip in the afternoon, and a Japanese test in the evening >.< I was zombified by the end of the day... _(:з｣∠)_ good thing my uncle decided to fetch me home from school nyahahaha

Anyway, here are the new Rejet projects! I didn't visit their official websites because I'm too lazy and just knowing the seiyuu casts is more than enough for me 8'D *shot*

Rejet 2014 Project Titles Announced!

Okay I know I should be doing work cos my deadlines and submission dates are next week but can I really work when Rejet's shoving all their new project titles on our face at once?? I think not.

So as I'm quivering, weeping and having a mental breakdown over this horrible otome company that is Rejet, let me just slowly and calmly do a write-up of their new projects.

On February 5th, Rejet held a live event on NicoNico Douga featuring seiyuus Midorikawa Hikaru and Kondou Takashi, as well as Rejet's director. Though only people currently residing in Japan could view it (you need a premium account if you live outside Japan in order to watch it), there were other means of getting information and here we go~

EDIT: LMAO I just realised I missed out some names... I guess I was too tired doing my work when I posted this ;v; Gomen nasai!! T.T

Happy New Year 2014!

I'm a day late (LOL) but I'd like to wish everyone a very happy new year! Hopefully this year will bring more happiness than the last. Remember to continue doing your best and stay happy, healthy and safe! May 2014 bring more wonderful otome games and drama CDs! Let's continue fangirling together!! ^__^

EDIT: I just realised I've been running this blog for about 2 years already! (;o;) I hope I can continue doing so for this year and the next and so on and so forth! :')

Shinsengumi Kekkonroku Wasurenagusa 4...

My heart just literally shattered into a trillion tiny pieces and I can't gather them back anymore.
It was already 4+am in the morning by the time the CD ended and I guess my tears led me to sleep because the last thing I remember was staring up blankly at the ceiling after the final track because everything hurt more than it should have. Even though there were parts where I couldn't understand (I need a translation for those), it was still painful.

Hijikata.......... /sobs because right now i just want to hug you and never let you go frick/

Hosoyan too. He did a really great job at this and his voice...the way he portrayed Hijikata's anger and sadness...I just can't (Q__Q) Hijikata has officially become my third favourite in this series (with Heisuke coming as first and Saitou second).

I can't bring myself to explain anything you just have to listen to it yourself...



Now I have to brace myself for Saitou and Heisuke... (T____T)

AFA SG 2013 (Day 3: 10th November)

This is the second part of my AFA post. Less photos this time cos the security became so much tighter and I didn't want to risk getting kicked out >.< Again, these posts only talk about the stage events.

Full details under the cut!

AFA SG 2013 (Day 2: 9th November)

Okay so I finally got around to writing the posts on AFA (even though the event was like 2 weeks ago??? I'm so sorry I've been really super busy with school lately so I couldn't find time to write proper posts >A<). I'll split the posts into Days 2 and 3 respectively because a lot of things happened over those two days. Also, I will only be writing about the stage events.

Full details under the cut!

Shingeki no Kyojin cosplay test run 02: Hanji Zoe

Harness test run 02. This time it took an hour less to put on the harness as compared to yesterday (3 hours (ಥ□ಥ)). Added velcro on all loose areas, and tried another way to put the harness together into place. Still finding a suitable area to pin the waist apron though…

Shingeki no Kyojin cosplay test run 01: Hanji Zoe

My Hanji cosplay costume was delivered to me last night so I went to do my first test run after school this afternoon.

First of all, I wanna say that SnK cosplays are one of the toughest cosplays I've ever attempted (besides the fact that this is only my second fan character cosplay; my other cosplays have always been original characters).

What made me nearly puke blood were the 3DMG harnesses. My costume was commissioned (except for the pants) hence I didn't really know how I was supposed to put on the harnesses. I referred to a lot of tutorials from fellow cosplayers (videos, photos and sketches) but for some reason I just couldn't imagine how the belts would criss-cross over the legs and stuff like that (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ So basically I had trouble with almost everything waist-down onwards.

I spent nearly 3 hours trying to figure out the harnesses (majority waist-down) and in the end I asked my mum for help. After carefully studying all the different tutorials, she sat down and fixed everything. EVERYTHING. MUM IS A MIRACLE HOLY FRICK HOW I DON'T UNDERSTAND щ(ಥДಥщ)

Anyway here are some photos of the test run. There's still A LOT of fixing to do, like tightening the belts, adding velcro strips so the thigh belts won't slip off easily, etc. (P.S. I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE my boots!! 8D)

CON IS A MERE 2 WEEKS AWAY AND THERE'S STILL SCHOOL AND SHIET URGH (＃ﾟДﾟ)ニャー！！

Vest and the criss-crossing thingy below it

Thigh & Leg Harnesses (with boots)

Torso (I don't know what else to call this angle ;;;)

Full body (Sorry for the wrong attempt at the salute OTL||||||)

I didn't wear the full costume (shirt and jacket) because the uniforms in SnK do not comply to the weather in my country (basically you'd just melt if you wear them in non-air conditioned places lol)

I have no idea how to put on the waist apron either so I just pinned it to my pants underneath the harness >_< On my second test run I think I'll try putting on the waist belt without going through the belt loops? Cos I don't see the belt loops on most cosplayers... On a second thought, the waist belt may just slip down while I'm walking LOL XD

Japanese Magazines October 2013

Well all I can say is that this month's issues have got to be one of the best.

Look at all that free (!) freebies 8D
