Bon Odori 2013

Tadaima minna,

Hikari desu!

I'm finally back from Tokyo. 

Currently suffering from post-Japan syndrome. Missing Tokyo already! (´；ω；｀)

I got lots of stuff pending. Got lots of things to post in my upcoming blog. Things about Japan~~!! ( haven't even finish my last year stuff) =3=

Anyways, I will try to upload as frequent as possible (obviously is a LIE) (゜∇゜)

OK month of July is always about natsu matsuri (summer festival). 

If you're living in Malaysia and feel like experiencing matsuri. You can always attend Bon Odori. 

The event was held every year during the month of July in Selangor and Penang(July/August).

This is my FIRST time attending such event.

Ja jang! Here's the poster for this year Bon Odori 2013 (more information and poster can be found here).

Well, yukata is usually worn during natsu matsuri. Not like it's compulsory but you get the chance to wear it and be pretty on such occasion (ღ˘⌣˘ღ).

Here's mine ゝ(＾Ｏ＾)丿

And after wearing! (●´―｀●)

Wow! Surprised to see so manyyyy people~~

We have saved our own little sweet spot while enjoying bento for dinner~<3 (´～｀)

Kawaii Pixie with lots and lots of FOOD!!!! Well most of them are bought because we don't have time to make them =3=

After some yummy bento, we decided to join all the crowd for the dance! (＝゜ω゜)ノ

I don't even know what I'm dancing. Just followed the crowd ≧∇≦

Loli spotted!!!! Most of them are Japanese! Actually lots of the people who attended the event are Japanese (=´∇｀=)

Crazy moments! Suddenly grows some feathers (fans) of peacock XDDDD

After the dance *sweating non-stop due to Malaysia's hot weather accompanying with yukata OTL*,

The most anticipated event!!!

Hanabi (fireworks)~~~!!

These fireworks were the most beautiful fireworks that I have seen so far. Lasted for quite some time too! (゜∇゜)

Overall, it was a good experience to hangout with friends and experiencing Japanese culture at the same time XD.

Instead of having picnic during the day. Have it at night! 彡｀∀´)

This post was really short because we arrived late. Lucky, we made it on time for the fireworks. ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

I also attended summer festival in Japan during my Japan trip this time. It was even better ≧∇≦!!

Will post about it next time! 

Till then...

Oyasumi!

C2AGE 2013 Day 2

Sorry for not posting again~ m( __ __ )m

Recently was busy preparing props and costume for the upcoming cosplay.

As well as busy packing my luggage to Japan~ ゝ(＾Ｏ＾)丿 It's summer so, yesss, JAPAN I'm back again~

Okie move on to Day 2 of C2AGE.

Day 2 was a little casual for me because my supposed costume for Day 2 could not finish ON TIME!!! So I have to come up with a backup plan. OTL

And here's the simple cosplay.

Alice in Wonderland, a little different from the Disney Alice in Wonderland. Hmmm, just called it Hiichan's style of Alice (tsundere version) XDDD

My second day was also a short stay. Have to leave early due to some matters 

Second day was my syok sendiri day. 

Gonna find lots of awesome cosplayers and take photo with them but still not much though.

Here are some of them

 Apron together with Mayu~yu~

 Dual Alice with Pixie Bunny

 The Lolita family but not in Loli dress ≧∇≦

 Weee yesshhh we are random! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

Lolicon spotted!!! Σ(゜д゜|||)

Lolicon no.1!! If someone is wondering whether the car behind look somewhat familiar.... Yes, it's the same car during AFA SG 2012 (Mirai Itasha). For better view click here.

 Lolicon no.2!! With chibi Mikasa from Shingeki no Kyojin~~~ (＝＞ω＜)ノ

OK, I'm still depressing from Day 1 event for not able to take any picha with Reika-san (´；ω；｀)

Reika-san cosed as Levi from Shingeki no Kyojin for Day 2!!! Must take picha!!! ヽ(｀д´)ノ

Random and funny shot~~

Reika-san dancing gentleman! Cannot imagine Levi dancing it together with his 3D maneuver gear. Hahaha ≧∇≦

Sorry for the blur picture, it was very dark in the hall and the leng lui (pretty girl) beside her is Alodia. (゜∇゜)

Seems like today I'm lucky because..

I was able to take picture with Reika-san during her fansign session. 

Asked her in Japanese, ANGRY MCs don't understand. Hahahah XDDD

Doing the gwiyomi pose (￣。￣)y-～～

OK this were all my coscards loot from C2AGE 2012

Not much though. Didn't give much nor exchange much coscards with cosers. Gomen ne~ m( __ __ )m

So, here's the items I asked Reika-san to sign LOL ~o~. My own coscards and also her previous AFA SG coscards (Ren).

Most of the celebrity cosplayers also signed on my own coscards except Ayase since she was giving out her lovely postcards to us.

I'm very happy that Alodia commented on my Mirai coscards and she even gave me her signed Miku poster~ <3 (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

OK that's the end of C2AGE. Not gonna rant anymore bout the management. Tired of it already. OTL

---------Random----------

This is random since Shingeki no Kyojin is currently very popular~

Na~ na~ Nameko~~~ XDDDD

That's it for today!! Continue packing for the upcoming Japan trip. Urgghhh I havent even finish uploading the post from my last summer in Japan. (￣。￣)

Good nite! おやすみ！

Derp face is derp XDD

C2AGE 2013 Day 1

Good day!

Sorry for not posting for such a long time.

Has been really busy these few weeks (same excuse everytime LOL XD)

Okie, finally there's an ACG event after such a long period of time (Comic Fiesta). There were some small ACG events during the period of time (eg. Animax Carnival etc). I don't be bother posting about Animax Carnival because it's boring and nothing special ~o~

Ehem, this C2AGE event is special because they invited celebrity cosplayers such as Reika♥, Alodia, Ashley and Clive from different countries.

Super super excited because Reika-san was coming. Planning to get her photobooks, coscards and take picture with her just like last time in AFASG ≧∇≦

Well since working is such a nuisance, I can only attend C2AGE day 1 for half day after work =____=.

Anyways, here's today coordination for day 1

Kanata Shinonome from AKB0048 desu~! ≧∇≦

Here's the rest of the AKB0048 members~~!! ヽ(´―｀)ノ

Sadly, Yuka and Suzuko were not able to attend due to some other matters. So, our AKB0048 kenkyuusei group was not complete for that day  (´；ω；｀).

We didn't do much though, just stand there chatting, roaming around the booth and doing all sort of 'mou liu' (pointless) stuff.

Ohoho and guess what, Reika-san is on her booth selling photobook and giving coscards!! ≧∇≦

However, the queue was toooooooo long (those people has been queuing since morning) and of course all her photobooks were sold out immediately. Even all her coscards were gone in day 1. Zannen (too bad) I couldn't get anything ╥﹏╥. *buried self in a corner and cry*

However, manage to get some shots of Reika-san. 

Dang!! I swear the bodyguards for C2AGE was crazy. Hogging Reika-san to themselves and don't even allow other cosplayers to go near her nor talk to her щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

Reika-san as Jinguji Ren casual version (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Jelly to the max for those who were able to get Reika-san photobook and coscard. No photobook nor coscards for me. I can only snap them from afar LOL ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

OK enough about Reika-san (to be continued...XD)

Some photos of awesome cosplayers during C2AGE day 1

 Shingeki no kyojin with the awesome 3D maneuver gear!

 Yogi from Karneval~~~

OK back to Reika-san again LOL XDD

Reika-san fansign session 

Here comes the kira kira version of Reika-san (゜∇゜)

Too many photobomb from the bodyguards! Sorry for substituting their face with stars. Stars suit Reika-san better than those lan c faces of the guards. Sorry again but I am super pissed off with them!  ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ

The fansign session was totally ruined by those event organizers. 

When queuing for the fansign, we're not allowed to take picture (not together with Reika but just taking picture of her was also forbidden during the queue) This is totally ridiculous!  Σ(゜д゜|||)

Besides that, chit-chat was not allowed during the fansign =___=. So we're not allowed to express our thanks to Reika-san after fansign? This is just plain rude not to express your gratitude. Is she a robot or something? So her only job is to sign whatever thing that is given to her? 

Worst thing was after queuing and waiting for a certain amount of time, the event organizer suddenly cut off the queue announcing that fansign was closed and no more sign will be entertained, telling us no point in queuing anymore. If you want a fansign, come back tomorrow (Day 2). What about people who can't make it on Day 2? Despite that, the organizer didn't even give any apology for the inconvenience or whatever crap to us. 

P/S: the picture above was taken after my fansign session with Reika-san. Sort of ignored to the staff (a little XD) who kept asking us to leave the room immediately. We were not allowed to take picture with Reika-san. So what's the problem of taking only her picture? （；¬＿¬)

Anyways my summary for C2AGE day 1 was....sort of mixed feelings

GOOD feelings

Able to meet up/gather with my AKB0048 sisters <3, met lots of new/old cosers and photogs and exchanged coscards with each other (only exchanged a little LOL).

BAD feelings

Bad management. No photobook, coscards and picture with Reika-san. But at least we managed to get fansign from her.

Chieri is happy with her Reika-san の sign~~

Wonder what item I asked Reika to sign?

You'll find out in the next post LOL  (￣ω￣;)

That's it for today!

See ya next time <3

AKB0048 Photoshoot

Konbanwa minna!

Guess some of you might have guessed that I'll be cosplaying as one of the members from AKB0048 since I was doing my AKB0048 mic tutorial in my previous post.

SO YESSS, finally got a photoshoot for AKB0048. Has been delayed for quite sometime LOL XDD

Okay, before we move on with the photoshoot.

For sure, there are lots of things that you need to prepare before the shooting, for example.....

props, costume and wig preparation. 

Tada here's mine!

Can you guess what character I'm cosing? o(≧∇≦o)

Those who watched the anime should have known. It's Kanata Shinonome!

I really like Kanata character in the anime. She always puts other people first before herself. Not like my character is any similar with hers LOL ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌. I think my character is more like Sonata Shinonome LOL. XD

OK, before we even proceed to a proper shoot. Costest is also very important. Kanata wig is seriously pain in the @ss!!!! SOOOO HARD to style and I looked like Lion King (；￣Д￣）

 

Urghhh I failed being Kanata LOL. Gomenasai Kanata-chan m( __ __ )m

OK move on to photoshoot!!!

Wonder who are the rest of the members? 

Well, they're our usual kawaii girls from the Lolita Group! （*´▽｀*）

This is my first ever cosplay photoshoot (previous shooting is always a casual shoot), so I SUPER SUPER 'kan cheong' (nervous).

First ever photoshoot already started with 4 expert photographers LOL  Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）

Throughout the whole shooting, I feel like a noob!!! Don't even know how to pose, smile or laugh. ╥﹏╥

Sorry for not posting any pictures during the shooting process. I didn't bring my camera with me, plus I don't have time to syok sendiri. 

Anyways, here are some of the photos of my AKB0048 cosplay photoshoot session with 4 different photographers.

Awesome shoot with awesome color!!  ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ

Overall, I'm really happy with the photoshoot session. Even though it was super tired (shoot from around 3.30pm to 10.30pm) but was super fun! ＼(*T▽T*)／

Due to my lack of experience in photoshooting, I hope I'll be able to improve in the next shooting and was grateful to all the photographers who are very patient and nice! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ).

They magically transform all of us into super kawaii~~!! Ehem..ehem..tak tau malu  ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

Of course I would like to thank all my kawaii team members for making this shoot a success. Thanks for all the help with the costume, props and everything (from making/wearing props and costume to wig styling/makeup). Me super super heart all of them~~~<3 <3 （´ω｀♡%）

Lastly, I would also like to thanks all the saikang (helpers) for taking care of our belongings and providing us drinks. Without you guys, we will be in a pinch >A<

Guess that's it for today. 

Hope to have more photoshoot next time! о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆

Springtime Lolita Tea Party

Hello!

Hikari desu!

This post was about springtime gathering. Guess now it doesn't count as spring anymore LOL. OTL

Summer is on its way~~<3

Not that it made much difference in Malaysia since it's always summer here for 365 days. =___=

We finally have another gathering after the last one which was during Halloween.

This time the gathering was held at Pastis Cafe, The Gardens shopping mall.

The food there was alright but the taste is not worth the price. A little pricy (for a cheapskate like me XDD) for the 'alright' taste. However, the service was good! The staffs are friendly and nice.

I ordered a half chicken dish (cannot remember the name of the dish). Gomen m( __ __ )m

Didn't upload much photos because I rushed to the gathering after work and I was super super tired. ~o~

The tea party this time is better because lots of kawaii girls attended to the gathering making it livelier ヽ(´―｀)ノ

This time some of the boys also attended for the gathering. Picture of them was not taken because they are the photographer for the picture above LOL. Ψ(｀∇´)Ψ

As usual, gathering is all about taking pictures and syok sendiri~~!

The 'idol' group wannabe~~~ XDDD

More syok sendiri moments

With so many lovely girls around, purikura is a MUST!! (´～｀)

We even trolled during purikura session.

Our imitation of the purikura models were such a BIG FAILURE. OTL (´；ω；｀). They're too pretty to imitate~~!!

JANG JANG!! Here's our kawaii purikura photo!!

Last picture for today's post.

LOLITA in action~~

Don't mess with LOLITA!!! (;゜ロ゜)

OK that's it for today.

Oyasumi! (-_-)zzz
