Merry belated Christmas & Happy NEW YEAR to all!
Sorry (if there's even any readers) for the lack of updates for the month of december as I was pretty much too lazy to blog.

AFA and EOY ended pretty much fairly well.
AFA day 1: I was there as Mugiwara no Luffy~; day 2: As mentioned before, R-ryotaro from Den-O (A funny thing which happened was my cousin who happened to be there on the 2nd day, recognised the character I was doing but didn't know it was me.) He didn't call/sms me as he didn't know my number. haha. wth is this? I didn't know he was into Kamen rider either. O_O & he also knows BASARA. I think I need to ask him if he has the game so I can go over and play. He has like PS2 and PS3 *foams*

I love my OP team on Day 1 and I had my fun at the event. It was really fun to cosplay Luffy! You don't have to care about your actions and just have to be in Luffy-mode at ALL times. It's also tiring. Talk about posing, his gear 2nd comes into mind. I was hoping it'd turn out fine at the event as I onlypractised once with my brother. haha. He did the perfect one. I did ok with the posing just that I DON'T HAVE PROPER PHOTOS to upload. I shall wait for a shoot with my fellow team mates. It was sad that we were missing ZORO on that day due to the screwed wig colour and I can't wait to cosplay with the full team again! (after improvements)

Day 2 was with my lovely Den-O team! I met with new friends like Kero, Kaishiou, Kie and Ariki. :D As Kie and ariki had AFA duty, most of the time was spent with Danz, Kiwi, Kero and Kaishiou! YOU GUYS WERE MY AWESOME RYOTAROS! *_* I love my team. I didn't think I did well with the posing for Ryuuta, is also waiting to shoot this OTL.
On this day, I also met with a fellow Ryuuta cosplayer who had a booth at AFA! I bought their TTGL set. Omg Kamina, Yoko, SIMON, Viral and Nia badges! ^^

Next was EOY
This time I was cosplaying as Kanda from DGM (chap 187 artwork). Not many recognised us as we were able to dodge people due to us being in casual mode :D I spent my time roaming around and getting artwork from the booths and I HAZ A UK UCHIWA!8D I bought a gintama print too. 3 nen Z gumi! hoho. I was also busy going around finding people to camwhore with. ;D Most pictures are on facebook. Too lazy torepost here. Made much more new friends and also with new cosplay mates for OP2010 team next year. I am so excited to do OP with them. /0/ I missed a few people due to the fact that the event was divided into 2 levels and I missed the FFXIII team. I DID SEE many BASARA TEAMs, it was kinda cool that they were all doing different characters; was really high as there was a dokuganryuu! 8D

That's all for the cosplay events at the end of the year.

How I celebrated the new year? Well, I was at Ivy's place BBQ-ing away, with Meiyi, CJ and Taku.

I had to make Ivy BBQ the stuff. I didn't do much ORZ except for putting some charcoal inside and bbq-ing the 1st few ingredients. REALLY I WAS DAMN HUNGRY COS I DIDN'T EAT and I think they didn't too. so sorry ;_; We BBQ-ed all the way to like 3am. Yea I ate til like 3 am. 8D Intro-ed Kamen Rider Kiva and W as they are AWESOME! and we watched Gintama episode 20. OMG. the LULZ. I love that episode a lot. So funny. HIJIKATA <3

I need to head to school tomorrow in the morning to discuss our project before going for CASH STUDIO session with Meiyi and Ivy ^^ and also for dinner after that. :D Been long since the last time I karaoke!

XUANNIE AND VAL; when are you guys free to meet up?

Min Shi and Mavis! I will probably meet you guys after my 1st presentation on the 9th Jan! ^^
Time really flies you see, and AFA is here already.
Progress:
Day 1 (secret) - 75%
Day 2 (Den-O;R-Ryotaro) - 90%

finishing soon. Will kyokugen sew tomorrow and trim wig I guess. Revive will be helping me with the cutting and stuff. :D I LOVE YOU ALL.
Thank you Val for helping me write the word "dragon" in Kanji and also for the newspaper prop thing. LOL <-- I can't say, until maybe tomorrow. :)
Thanks Snowi, for helping with sewing of day 1 costume and with drafting.

I am glad to say, I made my own footwear. hurhur.
testing out my insoles for Day 2. XD I love my new shoes. It's kinda girly for Ryuutaros, but since i have small feet, I had to make do with them. They are nice for everyday wear too.

What made me really pissed and such about AFA was concerning the free tickets for cosplayers. If they are just gonna reject cosplays that look everyday looking, wouldn't that be rejected most cosplays :/ Most cosplays are school based. If so, please don't claim that the free tickets is something to reward us for our efforts and instead, turn in upon us just because we are going in more casual clothes? Isn't AFA to celebrate everything Japanese pop culture related. INCLUDING KAMEN RIDER? It's like they even feature Kabuto :/ (Yea. Singapore is slow., when everyone else is already watching Kamen Rider Double :X)

zzz please. But aside from all that, I am just gonna enjoy myself in my Den-O costume though I absolutely can't dance at all. /phail.
I stil have yet to draw on my sketch book for Ryuutaros related sketches which involves kiddy drawings and jealousy for Yuuto or rather Zeronos.

Really looking forward to the friends/people and cosplays that I'm gonna see for AFA and also to see kaname's panel section in DEN-O costume. and bascially to take a break from university and ENJOY.

Wee. "FUSHING PROJECT" COMMENCES on DAY 1
I've been hurled into the 4th semester of uni and is currently feeling adsfsgjhsk about it. Hopefully there's not much assignments to be done.... If not my head will explode.

AFA is coming soon.. in like 3 weeks time = 21 days. (It's like I've been waiting for this day to come so long and now, I don't want it to come that quickly) I haven't done much for it. Supposed to chiong during holidays right? But zzz. I need a measuring tape.. I shall go grab it tomorrow. Then I can start working on my Day 1 costume. Still in hunting and gathering mode for both. I finally found Ryuuta's shoes. hurhur.. Do you think they would have my size? orz Meeting Danz tmr to hunt for PANTS. What are costumes w/o pants? LOL
-ironically, both cosplays have HATS and both has BLACK HAIR 8D I love them both :D-

I finally collected my passport, it's not as if I'm gonna go overseas soon though :/
Idk if I should go to Australia for my 3rd/4th year for Honours. I do know it's a good opportunity, but well, money matters. It's expensive to live in Australia D:


I just got this crazy idea to cosplay all 3 KOKUYO DUDES WHO I LOVE SO MUCH. -Though mukuro takes the top spot.- So far already done Kakipi and Mukuro, all that's left is Ken's wig. hurhur I'm becoming high just typing all these.
