Man, it seemed like my blog here have been abandoned... by me.
But しょうがないわよ, I have my own reasons.
1 - Too busy with work... Got too lazy to write anything.
2 - My debut cosplay at CF'12 is on December so nothing to post.
3 - Obsessed with otome games recently (both online and offline) so I don't have time to write anything =P
4 - Been into a Chinese drama called Scarlet Heart (步步惊心) and ended up using whatever left time to watch it. (And I gotta say, this drama really reminds me of otome game~)
So you have it, the reason why I didn't come back ^^;;
Bye now~!

[myself] No return for the 5 Gods of the East?
Was checking FB usual updates from different pages when I saw Seoul Korea giving out Yucheon's concert tickets as an appreciation for its 100k FB likes.
It makes me think, ah so all of JYJ have their own path now. Not long ago, I think I saw Junsu's concert promo too. Not sure if it's concert or single, it matters nothing to me. I made a point not to follow any updates from either 5 of them. It's kind of sad, you know. Not able to listen anymore to their great harmony songs and Capella. They could have made it big (although they are big now) but *sigh* ... damm Small Medium ... ==
I missed the old TVXQ. The TVXQ now is weird, seriously, the songs are weird. The JYJ ones are weird too... TVXQ keep singing rocks songs and JYJ keeps singing ballads. Weird...
If anyone ask me who is my favorite Korean singer, I cannot answer. Because though I listen to other Korean singers, they are not my favorite and I don't follow their updates. (and I don't listen to korean songs much now, reverted back to an anime-loving otaku, japanese songs all the way)
If anyone ask me why I want to go to Korea, I don't know the answer. I used to said I want to visit dongbang related shops, like Yucheon gelato shop or whatnot... but now, I think I just go buy some skincare, look around and come back. Korea isn't that much interesting anymore.
Ahh, it's depressing. I think I just go back listening to my Soine Shukan ~ I like Kakeru and Sei the best! (^ 0^)/

[myself] Mirai the Cosplayer - Highschool of the Dead
Yesterday, Danny Choo posted a raw .psd of Mirai-chan and ask us to try to edit it.
And I decided to give Mirai-chan a cosplay theme - Highschool of the Dead~ XD
Her weapon is her Millennium Blade and a random gun(?XD) I found in google. If it's your weapon, tell me and I'll credit 'em.
Thank you!
And oh, if you want to try editing too - here's the link to Danny's website.

[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!
Man, I intend to write something on this one some time ago but I’m lazy.
Though it had been a while, I still remember the taste.
So, I guess I can write a bit on it? XD
This is the ever-famous Japanese snack, Shiroi Koibito (白い恋人) which translate as ‘White Lovers’. If you google it, you can see many asking where can they buy it in their country or online. The answer is most probably not sold in your country or if it does, the stores that sell it are nowhere near =P (except you’re in Japan right now)
Anyway, talking about the taste.
The biscuit is thin and crunchy, while the filling is thick and vanilla-flavored.
Although it is vanilla, I don’t think it’ll be too sweet since Japanese don’t do too sweet stuff =3
You will want to eat more after the first one because it’s tasty.
For more information, please go here - www.shiroikoibito.ishiya.co.jp/english/index.html

[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!
This time the snacks are brought back by our staffs from Japan business trip =3
There are a few choices to pick but they didn’t look good either way so I pick the one my colleague asked me to take – the white one which is said to be sweet.
So weird T^T
The white stuff taste sweet but the senbei itself isn’t.
In the matter of fact, it taste fishy.
Imagine eating caramelized squid. Yech! T^T
I have no idea what this one called, neither do the company’s name and website so can’t provide information this time. Sowwie.

[myself] Cosplay Obsession - Synchronicity
I have forgotten what I was looking for in Youtube (maybe the cover for alluring secret~white vow~?) when I found this –
This is Synchronicity, another story featuring the vocaloids =3
Full story please refer here : http://vocaloid.wikia.com/wiki/Synchronicity
Apparently, you won’t understand what is happening if you only watch the video so do read the story in the wiki above first yo~~
I’m very much attracted by the beautiful art and almost anything music note-themed stuff.
The twin’s necklaces caught my eyes *neko evil eyes*
And then I started to admire the rest of the art – Rin’s skirt, Len’s jacket, and their appearance~ XD
So pretty and handsome *drools*
Ah, doesn’t they reminds you of Syaoran and Sakura?
Especially Len’s ponytail with fur jacket look. Hmm, it does yo~~ XD
Oh yeah, the story contains 3 part and the production only gave us two.
Now everyone is waiting patiently (or impatiently) for the last part.
I like second part’s song the best.
If there is anyone out there who covered this song, do tell me yo!
I want to listen XD (I guess you’ll need around 5 people to sing this one?)
[myself] Cosplay Obsession - Alluring Secret~Vow
Currently, I’m super obsessed with anything related to cosplay.
なぜならever since AFAMY’12, I’m fascinated by the amount of cosplay in Malaysia, the amount of anime fans in Malaysia and also it feels great to be surrounded by a lot of like-minded folks. It really felt great~!
Of course for those who went to those large cons on monthly basis, mine was just a small fry.
Alluring Secret~ White Vow~ is very nice too =O
But I wonder why nobody is covering it?
Or it is just that I can’t find it?
Oh well, I might as well try to cover it myself XD
I like those kind of videos which the pv actually depicts the storyline along with the song.
The first one I ever watched is Durarara themed – Radwimps’ Made to Order.

While I’m surfing the net for cosplay stuff, I come across a youtube video.
It is Alluring Secret ~ Black Vow~.
It is Alluring Secret ~ Black Vow~.
That is the second vocaloid song I ever heard, the first vocaloid video/PV I ever watched (the first being Miku’s Baby Maniacs replayed thousands of time during interviews/program breaks in Hall 2)
A bit on PG13, I think.
But really like the arts, especially Miku’s hair and dress.
Real life cosplay can’t do it justice. It is almost impossible.

Oh, about the storyline. It’s beautiful and sad T^T
It’s sad that the love is being judged as right or wrong.
There are actually no wrong and right in love.
Love is ‘blind’…
Kaito is bad for his action, and his love ended up paying for it.
Anyway, the music is very nice and you should check out Nobunaga & Guriri’s cover on this song XD

[myself] C O S P L A Y - My current obsesion...
Yeah, I'm currently obsessed with cosplaying though I never done it before.
Everything started after I went to AFAMY'12.
Well, that's my first ever anime event and it moved me that there are so many people out there, who like anime so much that they sacrifice time and money for it.
Me? I like anime too. Been a fan for around 10 years but never got the urge to cosplay (mostly because this hobby is costly and I'm a total dummy in tailoring).
So getting back to the topic, I'm thinking of cosplaying for the first time ever in my life =D
Man, ever since I made that decision my heart keep on going into the 'doki doki' mode every 5 minutes. I could just die of unknown excitement (= .= ;;)
My cosplan:
Saber (Fate Stay Night) - Plain clothes version
Perona (One Piece) - Time Skip version
Saber (Fate Stay Night) - Plain clothes version
Perona (One Piece) - Time Skip version
Problem to tackle:
Saber - I need to master her expression and also, looking for a shinai to borrow/rent! >.<
Perona - Looking for material to make Kumashi. Man, this teddy is .... well, not pretty. Why can't Perona just hug a normal teddy or a skeleton (I heard some YoHoHoHo here) instead?

(myself) New York Skin Solution - My nightmare
Man, I don't know where to start....
Okay, from the very first then...
One time, me and my sister found a deal from those coupon/deal websites for New York Skin Solution.
And naively, we thought, "Hey, that's a pretty good deal. We can get a cheap treatment plus some freebies from a well-known brand". Little do we know, that moment became the beginning of our nightmare.
After we done the whole ritual (face scan, consultation, treatment), the famous 'hard-selling' tactic begins. My sister was being grilled by another consultation when I start mine. She started with how bad is my face condition and suggested we take a package. She asked if I'm a student (which I was during that time) and I answered, "Yes, but I'm waiting for graduation now". She said there's no problem as for me, she'll give me special student price. When she quoted me the price of the package (RM1200 ++ or RM1700 ++, I forgot) , I was like, "For love of Bleep, WTF is the price? So expensive". So, naturally I did what others did to defend the first 'attack'. Said, "Sorry, I think think first la". She follow up the attack with another, saying that it's only for today that the student price are offered. Later then if I want to buy the package, it will be a whole lot more expensive.
I have to stop a moment to clarify something here.I am a pushover. Yes, I admit it. And the consultant is the one who cleanse my face so I get guilty to say no to her face since she is super kind and friendly during the facial treatment.
And now, continued from the last paragraph.
I found it very hard to evade the consultant as my defense was weak and she saw that.
I tried to say that I haven't get a job yet and have no money.
She persuaded me with the time-limited offer and said that I could pay a bit first.
I hesitated a bit because I'm kind of self-conscious with my face and I also hope to get a better complexion.
She saw my hesitation and went straight for the kill.
"Just now I checked your sister, she also agreed to buy the package, you should really buy too."
I was a bit shocked because my sister bought it. (We agreed before that to not buy anything)
I said I'll talk to my sister and saw that my sister is a bit giddy (maybe from spending a large sum of money).
Man, and here I thought I can rely on my sister to stand firm in saying no.
The consultant keep pushing the offer on me and I felt very bad and stressed.
I hate getting pushed by others but I didn't have the gut to say no.
The best comeback I gave was "I don't have money".
She looked at my sister and said, "Ask your sister to pay for your first la."
You may not able to understand how stressful I am at that moment, but I finally said yes.
That's how I get my ever first loan to my name (PTPTN doesn't count, I'm not talking about that kind of loan) and from my sister.
I regret every moment of that purchase until now.
I still have the package now because I never found the right time to go for the treatment.
Even if I do, the consultant and the centre I signed up with is always busy and schedule full.
Today, I went there for the first time since I bought the package a year ago. (if it wasn't for the consultant tobug call me too often, I would not even go there.)
I went through the facial, extraction of white and blackheads (man, it hurts so much my tears fall continuously. And when the girl asked me if it hurts, I sobbed and shook with each breath I took ) and lastly, another facial.
When the girl finished the last part, she said it's done and I can start to put on my clothes.
Since it had been a year since I done the facial, I couldn't remember the procedure after the treatment.
After a while standing in the booth, I figure I just walk out like that. (yeah, if life is that easy)
The girl quickly called me back to sign stuff (oh yeah, that's it. I forgot the signing part.) and I get back inside.
My previously consultant was waiting for me with my card (to sign on) and another brochure plus a blank paper. Before she opened her mouth, I finally realized another part that I have forgotten - the hard-selling part. Oh shit, I really forgotten all about it T^T
My consultant asked me if I changed my skincare products.
I told her I'm currently using Hada Labo and SkinFood.
She nodded and told me that maybe my skincare are not suitable for me as my skin are a little bit dry.
And then she started drafting a package and told me that they have xx package which I should really take. They have xx essence that will minimize pores. It's moxxxxfuxxxx RM2500++. Damm, do I looked like I grow money on trees? It's even more than my one month salary = =;;
I told her I'm not financially well now because I splurge hundreds on SkinFood and Hada Labo.
I cannot afford it.
She said the package will be good for my skin and pores and push a bit.
I hesitated (because I'm a pushover) a bit and told her that I cannot afford it because (think brain, think!) ... ah, my sister is planning to buy a car and I'm going to share it with her.
She think for a moment and start writing other price.
She told me that if like that, maybe I can split half of the treatment with her customer (RM1200 ++).
Man, this girl really don't know when to give up.
I hesitated again and told her that I cannot afford it because I recently went to see some orthopedic specialist and blew RM400++ there.
Maybe she's concerned about me or she thought that I lied to her (which I did not!), she asked me why did I went to see the specialist and how's my health.
Then she continued saying those medicine (glucasamine) isn't that expensive.
Well, I thought that as well but God knows why the stupid specialist charged me a fortune for those pills.
So I replied saying my meds are those used specially by doctors.
She think for a while and said I could deposit RM200 first to hold on to the offered price first so that I could pay by installments.
She even asked me if I have credit cards and I said no.
I shook my head and said I cannot afford it, there are too much money I used recently.
She looked at bit, looking a bit sour and said maybe I could buy their moisturizer or something, it's only RM70 or RM80 after discount. I was like, even SkinFood doesn't cost that much.
Shaking my head for the last time, I said sorry.
She finally gave me my card to sign and I leave ASAP.
______________________
I felt so pressurized and bad while I'm walking away from the skincare centre, I made a resolve.
I don't freaking care if I wasted money for the treatment, I'm not going back to them anymore.
It's better than getting pressured to buy stuff everytime and endured that bleeding (literally) extraction again.
I'm not masochist, for your information.
My skin is looking better than last time now because I went past the teenage acne period and will only get occasional acne here and there. So, I'm not so conscious about my face anymore.
It's not like I'm going to compete for beauty pageant or something.
I don't believe a guy will say, "Oh, your pores are large, I'm not going out with you again".
If he really said that, well he can go eff off himself.
Conclusion, screw going for treatment.

[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!
It's one more post on the snacks given by our guests from Japan~!
(the reason I wrote it all in one go is because I'm lazy =P)
So, this time it's 白い森のハーモニー (Shiroi mori no Harmony) by Ishiya (actually, I'm not very sure it's from Ishiya because I couldn't find it in its website here )
So about the taste, I think it's quite okay.
The cookie is a bit thick but never the less, it's okay.
You know what, I couldn't remember how it taste because I just ate Shiroi Koibito, which is tastier than this... =P

Hola~! Another post on goodies some guest brought from Japan!
This time, it's a snack by Premium Excellent Chocolat~
Me, I have no idea what brand is this.
When I looked it up online, it doesn't seem to have a website =O
Only found some blog posts about it.
Someone said she bought it from a grocery shop in Japan -
http://clairparfait.blogspot.com/2010/10/souvenirs.html
How does it taste?
Before that, I want to say that I thought it's a chocolate inside the wrapper but good thing I google it first.
So I know it's a biscuit with hardly any chocolate in it.
Okay, back to the taste... it doesn't taste very good.
Meaning, it's okay but is not up to par as a Japanese snack (- 3-)
When I bite into it, it feels powdery and heavy but quite crunchy in the middle.
It's sweeter than most of the Japanese snack I got, like white chocolate.
Like this blogger here said, it's the cookie crunchy texture that keeps you biting.

[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!
This time, I’m introducing a sweet omiyage from Minamoto Kitchoan.
The name of this wagashi (Japanese confectionery) is Fukuwatashisenbei (福渡しせんべい)
It’s from a guest from Japan.
The guest is quite generous with his gift because I checked online and one packet worth at least $2 (Singapore dollar). Man, that would be around RM5 per packet.
Anyway, about the taste, yup it was delicious.
It wasn’t very sweet but still retains a mild vanilla sweetness.
The biscuit was quite crunchy and quite fulfilling as it’s quite big.
The filling, I think must be vanilla as it’s white and tasted like, well…. Vanilla =P
Like the biscuit, it’s not too sweet but still counts as a dessert.
That’s about it!
If you want to know more about this yummy biscuit, do visit their website:
The name of this wagashi (Japanese confectionery) is Fukuwatashisenbei (福渡しせんべい)
It’s from a guest from Japan.
The guest is quite generous with his gift because I checked online and one packet worth at least $2 (Singapore dollar). Man, that would be around RM5 per packet.
Anyway, about the taste, yup it was delicious.
It wasn’t very sweet but still retains a mild vanilla sweetness.
The biscuit was quite crunchy and quite fulfilling as it’s quite big.
The filling, I think must be vanilla as it’s white and tasted like, well…. Vanilla =P

[review] The Darkest Hour
Before I start this review, let me say a few things.
Me, I think I have this Kinemortophobia - fear of zombies (I googled it).
My friends are always wondering what I am afraid of zombies.
Because they might be REAL, that's why!!
Scientist do so much of illogical experiments, something bad might come out of it, you know.
And to think some mindless, blood/flesh hungry being chasing you for one sole purpose, I'm scared. Very SCARED.
Ever since I watched a HK zombie movie which occurs in a shopping mall, the image stuck and never let go. I'm absolutely terrified of empty or almost empty shopping mall.
Now coming back to this movie, The Darkest Hour gave me the same overwhelming sense of fear when I watch it in the cinema today.
To make it worst, we can't see it.
You'll never know if it's a large monster which can grab you with its extremely long hand (it might have, well you don't know because you can't SEE it!)
Because of that, it makes the movie even scarier since anything can happen any time.
I really hate the feeling of not able to outrun your predator.
This movie head straight to climax after a few moments at the start (which makes me think what is going to happen for the rest of the movie).
After the first attack, the desolated scene reminded me dearly of 'I am Legend'.
But the difference is the alien is not afraid of the sun. It adds to the scary factor because from the start until the later half of the movie, we were never showed how to defeat the aliens as our protagonist spent all their times running and hiding.
But later they did fight back and I'm glad that they DO have weaknesses (the aliens).
Otherwise, I'll have nightmare tonight .... no, seriously.
Anyway, I give this movie a 3 out of 5 (and I won't watch it again ... EVER)
