Yesterday must be one of the craziest days for this year.
I met up with Saku at the Yishun MRT station before heading over to Redhill for the Angel Sanctuary photoshoot with the group that cosplayed at Cosfest. We took 3 cabs to the exact location (which I happened to forget already) and we really wanted to say "Follow the taxi in front!" The drivers would probably go "WTF...", haha.
The shoot itself had crazy things going on. We all were talking about Ashley shooting for FHM and we almost got killed for that. Shinji smashed his wings after the photoshoot, Mao grew hair, Daniel nearly killed himself taking a good photoshot, and that girl photog (I forgot your name too, geh) called me "Abang". I'm like "O.O", and she's Chinese, by the way.
Then we went over to Just Acia for dinner. After eating, we were making weird mixes of drinks and getting the others to try it. Daniel is one guy with weird taste buds, everything was okay for him. Neng made toothpaste, Rein made some strawberry coffee, and Spidey made a really weird drink which I couldn't stand. Well, I made him and Neng throw up with my drink though, haha.
Then we walked around Plaza Singapura for some window shopping. The guys were playing BlazBlue, and looking at Saint Seiya figurines, and Saku was getting "drunk", and having weird thoughts~
Now I'm slacking at home, thinking of what other stuffs I need to get before I chiong my costume. I need some serious help for the GCA competition. I got two months to prepare...

Man, I'm really dead beat now. Just came back from the Cosfest event at Downtown East D'Marquee. To me, it was anything but a VERY HAPPY EVENT though. I spent 3 days at the Aloha Changi chalet with a few peeps there, and that was the actual interesting part in my whole past 3 days. And yes, I didn't bring my laptop there, so I couldn't blog at all until now. Geh.
Day 0 - Friday:
I went to class 1st with my luggage bag. It was hilarious because only my friend and the facilitator notice it, haha. After that, I rushed to return my library books and buy materials for my Kamina's glasses. Then I met up with Kelvin and was supposed to go to Tampines straight. But we detoured to Spidey's house in Bedok because he needed help to carry all the junk to the chalet.
After we made it there, we went out to grab foodstuffs and other things from Tampines 1's Cold Storage. Imagine the bill going upwards of 300 dollars. Amazing, really. When we got back, everyone was rushing their stuffs for Cosfest Day 1. Ashley was working on her sword, Saku was sewing, Shinji was doing his wing, and Neng was... playing Guitar Hero. He wasn't cosplaying though, lol.
Day 1 - Saturday:
By the time it was nearing 6am in the morning, everyone was nearly knocked out. The saikangs were already asleep by that time, and the chiongsters had just slept. I just knocked myself out on the matress, but I only got 20 minutes of sleep because I had to prepare breakfast with Spidey and Zero. We made Roti Jala and Chicken Stew, but we didn't buy a lot of essential cooking utensils. So I was "happily" stirring the Roti Jala mix with a spoon, and the bread looked more like a crepe. Thankfully they tasted nice.
I cosplayed as True Assassin from the Fate/Stay Night game, and it was quite an okay cosplay for me, in my opinion. But I loved the part when I got to intentionally cosf*ck and do a Cardboard Gundam character. Props to Julia for the idea! I also got to take a photo with a Fate/Stay Night team. After 4pm though, I sat at the Cardboard Gundam booth area and slept there for the rest of the time there. I was really knocked out. Luckily I was doing a masked character, my eyes were totally red that day.
Day 2 - Sunday:
I was playing Rock Band in the morning to clear my head a bit. I woke up twice in the morning from 7 to 8am, and I was greeted "Good Morning" twice, haha. I had to shave my body and and facial hair to prepare for my Kamina cosplay. The tattoo took the longest to do; I had help from Shinji and Kelvin. Julia had styled my wig the day before too. And my back fire tattoo was done with spray paint, crazy stuff. Overall, my Kamina was okay, except my wig looks funny and my glasses kept falling off, sian. Fake eyelash glue wasn't that strong after all. I need to get spirit gum for this.
The only interesting things happening in Day 2 were the "Y.A.O.I" song from that Fullmetal Alchemist cosplayer which was damn epic, and Krauser smashing an acoustic guitar. Knife looked sad seeing his guitar in pieces, lol. When we got back to the chalet, I had to bath to wash away all my tattoos. It washed off really easily, probably because of the foundation I put on beforehand. Heng ah~

It's 2 days left to finish all the stuffs before Cosfest.
Everybody's feeling the heat.
People get pissed, people get depressed.
People want to whack other people because said people got the wrong stuffs for them.
...
Man, chill out a bit, people.

I keep thinking to myself, "I really suck at my love life."
I mean, I'm very good at mingling with friends, but I'm really too afraid to go beyond that sometimes. And it's strange, because I wasn't like this in the past. I used to go after girls quite a lot.
I remember Jeremy pointing out to me that I wasn't the same as last time, which is very true. The thing is, I do have other priorities. My cosplaying hobby is going to reach its peak, and I want to make an impression. Meaning, I want to be famous for doing something that will be remembered for a long time. My Patapon was one of those, but I don't wish to stop there, cos' I want to do one better.
Okay, back to topic. I kanda have problems when talking to someone that I have a crush on. Not obvious to the whole lot of you, but it happens. So I'm still unsure how to go about settling down. I'm okay with not having a girlfriend currently, but...
AH, WHAT THE HECK. I'm thinking too much.

I just came back from The Games Xpo held at Suntec. Seems like so many events are happening at Suntec lately.
Anyways, the 2 days I went there were really fun. Here's a rundown of what happened~
Day 1:I was supposed to cosplay Pac-Man ghost, but I couldn't finish it in time. Then somebody told me that using an umbrella would be a good idea. I was like, "Oh god, you just reminded me about that!" I totally forgot about using an umbrella, so I'll get one soon and start finishing the ghost already.
H1 took a photo of me with weird looking glasses. I love that pic, haha.
Went for dinner at KFC with Ash, Kei, Saku, Eriol, Freedom and Zee. Melo came in later. After that, we had a Pocky party, yays. Then it was a bitchfest for the next 1 and a half hours. The girls were complaining mostly about other cosplayers and photogs, while the guys were giving fanservice, literally.
Day 2:I saw Knife playing a new music game. He managed to win a Wii, that lucky guy! I got to saw the FIFA 2009 finals as well. The players kept scoring every 30 seconds, crazy stuff. The Tekken 6 competition was quite amazing too.
Then had dinner with Spidey, Rina, Mel and Ashley. Oh, and I saw a Chibi Lelouch during the day. I became Lelouch's clothes hangar too, hurhur~
One more thing. I also love kittens... A LOT. Forgot to put that in my last post, geh.
