| The war has finally ended and marks the end of one nightmare unless another nightmare will be announced soon. So far cleared my design studio although it wasn't as good as the previous one due to a lot of problem. Rushed out the garments and was quite shitty in finishing due to severe lack of time. Just hoping to clear this as well then the start of another major nightmare for another year. So enough of this!
So it marks the start of my holiday till I can confirm which institute I will be attending for my BA(Hons) or even not attending. Time to plan to conquer all the shoots. Then the start of sewing for Cosfest 2012! Both days plan are confirmed and I need to start working on it soon! | |

| Finally watched Wicked! It was so awesome be it the cast, the stage decoration, the lighting, the orchestra and the costume. I was seriously in awe with the costume designs which I really went omg at the details of even such a simple dress that Elphaba was wearing. the seamlines the fall of the dress. *screammmmms* I am also very amazed at the fact that even for the school uniform, every single set is different from each other. That bit of details really make each costume stand out in their own way! And i really wanna get the grimmerie... but I am so much in debt I don't think I should spend that money on it. The image of everything will be following me for a good period of time. Got a feeling I might get hooked to musical sooner or later.
But after this I really know that I want to do costumes instead of RTW and it's even stronger then before. Being able to go crazy with designs without worrying if it's suitability of wearing it out in public. The fun is there~ Seriously if I have the cash, I would really love to watch another time. But now I wonder what will take over Wicked.... => - Mood:chipper

| So Cosfest X.2 has finally come to an end and it marks the end of crazy feb and the start of nutty march. We somehow manage to finish most of the stuff within a day due to the sheer hard work we put last year as the plan for Hakuouki was for last AFA. So finally we whack it and go all out. The initial plan was to do a normal version for day 1 and day 2 would be same costume but bloodified. But we tweak our plan a little to make sure our Chizuru gets to have fun for both version and get home to study for her test. So Day 1 first half of the day were just normal calendar ver, and once the sun starts to set we return from the war with blood all over us. And Day 2 was a simpler one as we don't have enough time to actually plan for another one due to the limited amount of time we have. So Tsuna and Dino from KHR~. I would have to say as usual, I enjoy cosing with them more and more even if we are doing different series. We still have our dosage of fun, joy and laughter. ~ Anyway pictures are under the cut as usual. ( Pictures~ )- Mood:accomplished

| So the war has started as everyone summons paper, pencil, coloring mediums, fabrics, scissors and sewing tools. It's just... urgh. Finish one project, the other one starts immediately. Dying totally. If anyone is going to tell me, ain't you studying at art/design school? I thought all you do is just draw? I will seriously just kill that fellow. Unless you wanna help me write a 2.5k word critical review and my presentation you better shut up. Oh including drafting, sewing toile then the final. Anyway I have yet to really sleep thanks to a dying intestine that hates supper and late night bitching session with my younger sis. What can I say? I am a bitch. Society trained me to be one. *rolls eyes* And ya I am very very grouchy now when it comes to either idiotic things or idiotic people. If you have anything you wanna say about my fked up attitude, blame yourself for treating me as a replacement. There are always things to say and things not to say and you wanna complain about other people having fked up attitude look into a mirror before you bitch about other people. You are equally fked up.
最近钟爱用这这句话，丑人多做怪。
Seriously, having confidence is good but over confidence with things... please. - Mood:irritated

| Chinese New Year was boring.. The mood isn't in the air nothing feels right for most of us.
My days now are pretty much bipolar, either boredom/stress or epic laughing session with the rest. Now most immediate plan is to decide how much we are willing to spend for Wicked! And of course recording session at said date at said person's place. It's going to be a hell noisy night! Shall update more when the time comes and how noisy we were. =D For now. TATA~ time to worry for my Triumph project. Bra and panty. - Mood:amused

| 2012 arrived just like that, the whole "omg its a new year!" kind of feeling totally wasn't there. To me it was just a normal weekend, a normal day with nothing special, I guess age is creepy up to me slowly. I do have 1 major regret in 2011, but what past has past. Nor matter how much I regret I can't turn back time to where I didn't say that "Yes". At least I am proud to say that I have a awesome bunch of friends who didn't bother asking me if I am feeling alright instead just ask me out to enjoy and let me rant as per normal. That was all I needed till I could make the whole damn thing into a joke and laugh it off. So 2012 what are my plans? First off, focus on studies! Last semester of my diploma year, time to start thinking for my diploma collection. 3rd of Jan will be having a shoot, this will be my first time working with Kiriko~ Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu~~ So I am praying hard for the day to be cloudy and windy without any rainclouds. So for now. HAPPY 2012! - Mood:blank

| Recently we were on the topic of how the conception of cosplaying has been portrayed as something bad among the people. Yet we asked ourselves, is there things we learnt thru cosplay. It couldn't be just an all out useless hobby right?
After much exchanging pointers and even with real life examples, we do agree that cosplay has it fair share of pros and cons like any other hobby. And in my opinion, there isn't a bad hobby or useless one the problem lies with the people that are partaking in the hobbies. There are certain unspoken rules and etiquette to follow in events, that was what we agree on.
I wasn't active in the forum since like 1 year after I joined so there was a good amount of things that happened throughout the years that I do not know of. And I was pretty happy that I stayed low profile throughout the years.
I started without much knowledge of what this is. It was purely curiosity for me like a kid, it seems interesting enough and I am young why not just try it first? With no skills or whatever so in pattern drafting and sewing, the first solution to me was to get it tailored. The researching of images and details wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, and not forgetting the amount of cash that I have to pump in to get my things done. And my debut was done during 2007 Cosfest in Singapore as Barasuishou from Rozen Maiden.
Then before the whole Vocaloid fever starts in Singapore, it wasn't a good cosplay as I definitely fail to portray as Kagamine Rin during EoY 2008.
I don't exactly remember who pull me into the scene but I do know it was Vanda whom first pull me into the whole sewing business. Introducing me books and well, self taught drafting. Money was a very big factor for me as the set amount of allowances I was given wasn't alot and thus long-term tailoring was pretty much out of the question for me. It wasn't that glamourous and perfect like the tailored ones, but it was fun and then AFA 2009 my first event that I went with costume that I piece up from scratch as Maria Kurenai from Vampire Knight in prom dress.
Subsequently I learn to draft better and sew better and costumes were pretty much rushed out most of the time due to massive workload from school. It's not a good excuse but I admit, I have poor time management.
So from cosplaying I picked up skills like drafting, sewing and of course to have self confidence. I made a hell lot of friends, we talk about life and we learnt from each other. And as time pass, I realize I know a group of people whom are passionate about the hobby be it cosers or photographers. Now what I want to do is to impact the skills I learnt to friends so that they could pick up a skill and at the same time to save a bit of money.
So what have you learn your own hobby? - Mood:thankful

| Eoy was here and gone in a blink of an eye and it pretty much marked the end of 2011's cosplay events in Singapore. (if there is any small scale events after EoY I seriously have no idea.)
Was suppose to be cosing Ranka but due to reasons didn't do it. But I do still have plans for MF : Sayonara no Tsubasa be it Ranka or Sheryl.
Redid one of my oldest cos and I have to say, my feet hurts all thanks to the damn heels. I really need to get a new pair of heels, the current pair seems to be a tad small for me now.
I won't say I had fun nor will I have I didn't have fun. Situations.
Anyway ended up camwhoring abit but didn't camwhore with alot of pple.
NEXT YR! WE WILL GO BACK TO COMIC FIESTA AGAIN!!! Since we missed this year's.
Anyway photos under cut as usual.

| It's not like it isn't hell already, just that it's getting worst by the week.
TGX 2011 was pretty fun not because I am cosing a character that I really really love, but more of the people surrounding me. In face this plan was pretty much a last minute plan that we agree to do with another friend of ours. But sadly things happen and we were like already half way churning out the costume while being super busy with school work and since we were told the wig is already in Singapore. So thus the decision seeing how my seme already have her wig.
Things happens, team dropped and worst wig did not arrive. I was only saved by my Souji wig which now have to be replaced. I was pretty disappointed with how things turn out, I never thought that I have to go thru such shit again especially when they have been cosing for years. I just can't throw the feeling off how they didn't want to cos with us in the first place or maybe the other one. But if they can say they don't have time to sew the costume, yet they did go for the other day and finish sewing up another costume. Sorry but I think this is too much especially when the wig issue wasn't known till I asked the day before the event only to realize the dreaded truth.
I only can say, I am really glad that I have a bunch of wonderful friends that let us enjoy the event as much as possible with a whole lot of nonsensical stuff. I LOVE YOU PEEPS!
