Fangirling #3

The bright star has moved on. =(

Won't see him no more. =(

Aww.

Bur I think I got immune to his brilliance... but was still dazzled one last time. =)

Gonna miss those days.

Fangirling #2

Just had pbl for ONE AND A HALF hours. Usually, I'd be spitting fire and screaming death-curses.

Not today. =)

I had the best seat too. =D

God is good. TvT

Life is good. TTvTT

Fangirling

I had a new facilitator yesterday.

He was so so cute. *blush blush blush*

I had to remind myself to stop smiling like an eejiot and to stop blushing dammit... *blush blush blush*


Thank you, god. Malaysia isn't devoid of cute guys after all.

Thank you. TTvTT

Animax's Youth Festival 2008

Animax recently held a Youth Festival at 1 Utama last week from Friday till Sunday. I cannot tell you how excited I was when I saw the tv ad about it on Monday night. Finally, a chance to attend an anime fest! (Yes I am a nerd. So what?)

So I went around harrassing people for company. Unfortunately, the circle I hang with in IMU are not so enthusiastic as I am about anime/manga; except for Jac, who was still in Sarawak then. =____= It was tough finding people to come along with me, as they had other plans for the weekend and were plainly NOT interested in the fest.

And I wanted to go for all three days; being the greedy nerd that I am. =__="

On Thursday however, I got a surprise; A friend found out about my maniac urge and offered me a ride there as she lives nearby. TT_TT I swear I could've hugged her right there and then. Luckily for her there were several seats seperating us at that time. =p Then I got my much-needed company in Joyce, Jac's sister, although she isn't into anime/manga that much. TvT THANK YOU!!!!! =) So we all agreed to meet up around 4pm on Friday.

Things didn't go all that smoothly the nest day. Joyce had told me that she will end her class late. I thought it would be like, give or take, 10 more minutes later than usual. I was wrong. Not her fault; the facilitator was very clingy, it seemed. Damn you, faci.

I felt so bad for my friend who offered the ride; I am so sorry that you had to wait so long, Serena. =(

Then finally, after Joyce was done and her friend joined us, we were off! Reached there close to 6pm. There wasn't much left there. =.=" I figured maybe this was 'cause it was late. Dang. So we walked around instead and went for dinner at Ajisen. =)

I wanted to go again the next day; Saturday, but Ida couldn't make it. A shame the cosplaying competition wasn't on that day; someone else had offered me a free ride too. =( So I didn't go. Stayed at home and studied instead. Whee. But I got to eat maggi mee which I had cravings for for a long long time... =D Throughout the day I managed to convince Jac to come with me on Sunday, as she was to come back to Kl on that very day. She agreed.

I LOVE YOU JAC THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR COMING WITH ME ALTHROUGH YOU MUST'VE BEEN TIRED AFTER THE JOURNEY THANK YOU THANK YOU!! TTvTT

So on Sunday, off we went to 1U, hoping for a good show.

I was disappointed. Terribly disappointed.

I thought that there would be more booths, selling stuff like fanarts, accessories, and what-not, but there were NONE. W. T. F. There was only such ONE booth, and it was by an anime shop so the stuff you buy there isn't worth it or anything special (so I feel) as you can always visit their shop later.

Okay, fine nevermind, I told myself. There's always the cosplaying competition.

They were all sitting on a small stage there and people were photographing them. One of them was me. =D

I could not, for the life of me, recognise who the couple on the left (facing the cameras) were, till Jac told me. Sakura & Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicles. WTF? And she only figured that out based on the Mokona doll the Sakura cosplayer was holding... OMG... =___='

Reno : Chicks! I got chicks on both sides! >;D

Have no idea who the goth girl is. Jac says she's from Fruits Basket; one of the lead girl's best friends. I HOPE NOT. D:>

Sigh. Only a handful of them turned up. =(

I really admire their guts, dedication and effort though. I especially liked the Reno dude and the one who was Akito from Air Gear. They were the best there, for me. Then there was also the pair from Soul Eater. They were good too. =)

Akito from Air Gear & Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. The Akito cosplayer's so chomel. =)

The pair from Soul Eater. Maka & Prof. Frankeinstein, I think. Btw, she won Best Cosplayer Award there.

My stick's cooler than yours!

Comparing notes. On what, I don't know.

Also have no idea who the cosplayer in pink and the one on the extreme right are supposed to be. If you do, please tell me. =__='

A Taichou and an ex-Taichou.

Money-grubbing Kazuku robbing some poor fella.

Oh. Now we know why Kisame's blue, huh?

paint, paint...

Kazuku : Stupid freaking cap! Oy, some help here?
Kisame : Oh really? Yeah, yeah I'd love your number...

Kisame : SHIT PAPRAZZI MY SECRET"S OUT!

Haruhi from The Melachony of Haruhi Suzumiya using Maka from Soul Eater to replace Mikuru when her hair-fetish kicks in. =p

Prof Frankeinstein from Soul Eater. Don't SMOKE kids!

Waiting...

The competition was supposed to start at 3.30pm. IT BEGAN SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH LATER BECAUSE THE JUDGES WERE VERY VERY LATE. (I'm slamming on the keyboard so hard here that the dude next to me probably thinks I'm PMS-ing or something) WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS GOING ON? I could not stay long there; I needed to be home before 5pm, so that meant I had to leave by 4.20pm at least. I could see that everyone was getting pissed and irritated. When the divas finally arrived, it was 4pm. I was seething already; if the judges didn't turn out to be such good sports I would've strangled them all, godammit.

So we managed to watch the first three performances only; which were the Reno dude, some guy as Urahara from Bleach, and another pair as Kisame and Kazuku from Naruto. The Reno guy was okay, I guess. Kinda cute. =p But I have never seen Urahara been so humiliated before... 0.0 What was the dude thinking???? =___="" Jeez.

Reno from Final Fantasy.

Urahara from Bleach.

Kazuku & Kisame from Naruto.

The Three Late Judges.

Anyways, it's my first anime fest, so maybe my expectations were too high. =( Looking out for others though, and hoping it will be better.

I will post more about this fest later, 'cos this post has taken me 3 days to compile and I'm sick of it. =p So later I'll start another post and rant more about the fest, 'kays? =)

Quest Achieved!!

Do you remember my initial post about the Quest For The Elusive Songsheet?

Rejoice, people, for it has been accomplished! XD

YUP, I GOT IT! Yay! =D Mozart's piano sonata for 4 hands/two pianos in D major (k448). Best part is, I got two versions of it! =) An original version & one where Nodame and Chiaki played it. Very cool. Plus, I also got Chiaki's Rachmanikoff piece and Beethoven's Spring sonata played by Mine and Chiaki in the anime. =) =) Heavenly.

Spent like the whole week listening to them.... =)

Thanks Jac, for the tip. =)

Life's good.

Malay Cultural Night

There was a Malay Cultural Week going on in IMU and they had a play for the closing. Miza & Ida were acting in it, so off I went to watch it and offer support. =)

They were good. Very good.

The actors and actresses played their roles well; you could feel Ida's aura as 'The Biatch' while Miza was.. very perempuan melayu terakhir. So not like their usual selves at all. I was impressed. =) And their costumes! Cool. They managed to get a bridal shop lend them some costumes (wedding attire) for the play! Very nice. =D

Here we are before the play; me, Saira the makeup artist, Chung Wei the photographer, Ida as The Concubine, & Miza as The Village Girl. Miza hasn't changed into her more glamourous costume... yet.

Speaking about makeup, there was this actress, who had the role of a granny. OMG when she came out, she looked so old! I mean, the makeup was very very believable! And she was a great actress too; she sounded, acted and moved like an old lady. Provided us with some comic relief too. =p Kudos to you, gal!

This is after the play, where sudden, prolonged massive, free-for-all camwhoring melee ensued. If you had a camera and were pointing it somewhere, you'd bet there would be people jumping in front of it. I made the mistake of getting too near. =.="

Ida & Miza 'fighting' over Bikash, me being used as his shield, and Saira who is not in character as the other jealous 'wife'.

Me being disappointed in my 'husband' while apparently the other three 'wives' have made up.

See Miza in different clothes? It was part of the bridal costume she wore. =) She took off the veil, I think. =) Anyways, it was a cool play and all the people involved in it should be proud.

Congratulations on a job excellently accomplished! =D
