Sg ComiFest 2011!

I should have posted this last weekend when the event had ended but with no photos, this post wouldn't be interesting. And so I begin:

It was the first day of my volunteering life. I signed up for this alone, meaning the people who would be at the ComiFest were strangers to me.

We first met up for a pre-briefing at TCZ Studio and became bouncers for the event.

Cool eh :D

I'm just guessing but TCZ should mean The Celestial Zone. And I am probably right, cause there were posters of the characters from that manga in the studio. It had been nerve-wreaking for me, cause they all arrived in their groups and it was intimidating. Then I chatted with Cassandra and we hit off. ^_^ And later Isabel and Chin Rui ( I can remember the hanyu pinyin but don't know why I just can't pronounce his name! Haha)


5th March was the start.

It was in Suntec City. For those who had missed out, too bad! You should have seen the crowd in the afternoon. So many cosplayers!

I expected ComiFest to be in the Convention Hall. I mean, that's where they all went, right? The anime fest and others. But noooooo, it was on the 3rd floor of the open space.

I was shocked.

What's more, there was also a wedding exbition held TOGETHER with the ComiFest. I was like WTH?! That's too weird! What does manga and cosplay have to do with weddings?

Anyway, we arrived at 10am, and got ready.

And it began.

The Artist Showcase happened,

With Ms Yeo rolling the ball.

All the artists have to finish their artwork within 30 minutes.

End product:

And there's a little Pura there. Can you spot her? ^_^



Next was

And the third artwork's

Handsome (^~^)

And the cosplayers (it is not a ComiFest if there are no cosplayers)

 

Her kimono was such that one of her shoulders could be seen. I wanted to take that but ....

Kimonos are beautiful! I want to cosplay in them ~

Allen Walker!

Can you guess the episode where this happens?

Hint: He held a deck of cards.  :}

The SWAT Team

It was an eye opening experience. I had gotten to know more people and that's what I would take back. It had been a nice feeling, chatting and laughing with soon-to-be-friends. Perhaps that's why people volunteer. . .
I would want to volunteer again. :)

Plus, I got to meet the highlight of this event:

Kanda!

OMG, It's real hair!!! Haha

And our interpretation of Pura, the Neko mascot for this event ^__^

PURA!

And another volunteer's sketch.  *Covers mouth*

IT WAS A PLEASANT DAY AND NIGHT ^___________________________________^

A new school, a new year

I should have posted this a few days ago but because of some Internet problems, I couldn't go online. But now I am here. :)

So I am now in a new school, in JC. And I am currently pleased with my choice.

On the first day of school, I met up with my primary school friend who was just SITTING NEXT to me!! And we were in the same group! OMG. This is fate, definitely. Because of meeting her and having her beside me, I wasn't that afraid to chat to other of my group mates. Sufficient to say, I have some new contacts in my phone ^^

There was an opening principal speech and that told me many things. For one, discipline is very important. For another, the pincipal's a she. Haha, a stupid tidbit. But listening to her speech has made me realise that I MUST study hard and get good results, otherwise, I can't compete with the rest of the world. Some might think of this as kiasu but really, there are more than 6 billion people in the world. Minus the elderly and the children there is still about 60% or more all fighting for the jobs. If I can't stand the pressure and expectation, HOW CAN I EXPECT TO LIVE COMFORTABLY IN THIS WORLD?

On a lighter note, these few days was fun. We played, danced and cheered. Haha! I don't think I have made a wrong choice. Especially when we danced to the tune of




The atmosphere was just exciting! It felt like one that I usually read from a manga and not in real life. Plus  the group leaders were all crazy~. Sweet!


Mon's our camp. Looking forward to that!

So how's your schoool days going? :3

I'm still here~

It's been exactly 1 week since I've said bye bye to Singapore!

How do I feel?
Great! Never been better. My skin is still smooth and not red ... much but  I do feel sleepy. Sleeping at 12 am every night and waking up for work at 6.30am surely will make a girl feel tired.

Coming here to KL, has made me realised that having many close relatives are a very good thing. Though they live far away, everytime I come here, it seems that we are closer every moment we meet.

 Seldom do I see them for such a continous time. It is indeed something to be treasured.  Because I know that for the next few years, I would not have the opportunity to live here for this long.

Yesterday I bunked in at my other aunty's house for 1 night.
When I was young, I was scared of my uncle, because he would always say in loud and abrupt sentences, and I deemed that he was scolding me. But now that I have become used to his way of speaking, I find that he's a funny, kind and lovely man. Time spent with him does make a difference.
Now, I can tell my child's mind that, Hey! He's not bad at all. :}

We also went to Empire, and took many photos there. Or should I say, I posed and she took them. I believe that if my friends saw me there, they would be very shocked. Shamelessly, I have posed in front of the decorations, where people could see me.

Was that embarassing?
Well, it was at first, but then the photo taking just morphed into something crazy and fun. Want to see the photos?

You have to wait then, cause I don't have the negatives now. Haha.

I have also gained a new jacket. It looked like an anime character would wear !! Cosplay!
I fell in love with the white version first. But then decided to take the black one.

LOVE IT ^__^

But it was quite expensive. . . and my aunty bought that for me.
I am thankful for that. A Christmas present!

But sometimes I have this thought that I am like a freeloader here. They provide lodging, pay for my food and my items. And they're not cheap. And I am doing nothing to repay them. Instead I am taking advantage of that. . . . I do feel guilty.

 I should refrain myself.



Probably.

Another 2 weeks to go.

Another 2 weeks to enjoy myself.

Another 2 weeks to love my relatives more.

Another 2 weeks to 'cheat' my kind and generous relatives of their money.

Good night, good day,
Bye bye ^^

The End of Prom

So the days of searching what to wear for Prom has come to this: the end of it.

How do I feel?
A little disorientated, since I have to find something else to look forward to. But I guess that could be easily remedied.

Was it fun?
It was ok. There were a lot of cheering and shouting coming from me, though :D. Especially doing the games section.

Who wore what?
There were so many wonderfully dressed people out there! The girls styled their hair, wore makeup (even the ones I didn't expect them to) and wore high heels. Beautiful~. The guys mainly wore vests, long sleeved shirts and pants. Handsome~.

The Start:

What I wore for it.

Black, black and more black.

It's actually layered. The shirt and leggings/stockings I will wear first, then over comes the dress. And I had just realised at that time that the dress was very very short -.- I was very scared the dress will just slide up and show off my "thin" thighs . Haha.

The final result:

I will not ask for compliment, I will not ask for compliment, I will not ask for compliment.


The Journey to the Hotel:

Thanks for my parents who brought me there!

And also for picking Angeline.


We were the first few to arrive. Saw the guys decked out in vest and pants. Very Suai. :D

And then the others came flowing in.

We registered our names and in we went inside the ballroom/function room :)

Busy taking photos with my dressed up friends :D

And there were performances by our teachers! Mr Lee, Ms Chia and Ms Ng.

I could hear many shouts and cheers coming from our table when our class mates where chosen for the games. The loudest for me, i think, is definitely when Syafiq posed. :D That will forever be engraved in my memory. He was so cool! I should have taken a video of that catwalk.

It had been a wonderful and magical night. To see all my friends -- well most of them-- all decked in their prettiest and handsome-est outfits, taking photos and chatting about... It was (at the risk of looking like a person who has limited vocabulary...)  fun ^^

There ae many other photos I have taken, which I am too lazy to post. So go onto Facebook  for them :)
