Time for a revamp.
Stay tuned.

New Hair~

New hairstyle & colour for Chinese New Year! Purple with ash grey on top & pink with faded brown to the end \m/
Self dyed as usual (:

I'll be organizing a spree for Manic Panic after CNY (cause I need my own fix as well), so stay tuned for more info!

raining nekos and puppies ㅇㅅㅇ

There's been so much rain since last year. It's so awesome. I love that rainy gloomy feeling, the hint of refeshing happiness it leaves behind that follows. It feels as if it washes away all my worries everytime.

Somday soon, I'd love to do a rain themed photoshoot. Or something to do with the weather.
(:

Long Delayed Update D:

Yosh~
Been super busy for the past month so I didn't actually update anything. Anyway, finally figured out how to config my apps to update here so I'll be posting more photo updates soon :D

Also, did a small shoot last month, but haven't edited the photos yet so I'll post them up once I'm done with them. I've also started a small Pokemon video game group so we can pull resources and play with each other (not much fun playing alone once you've completed the main story anyway), so yeah if anyone wants to join in feel free to leave a comment below.

CNY's round the corner, so I'm getting busy again. Hopefully I can find the time to do a proper post next week before CNY (:

Post Migration

In the process of migrating over old posts from my old blogs. Just the important ones or ones that really mean something to me. So yeah, anything before April 2012 are from my old blogs.

Well, that also means that you get to read my previous concert/event experiences in my cutesy teenager English. D:

My First KOI Drink

So. I left my laptop charger in school and the photos are in my currently dead laptop. Therefore the EOY post won't be up today.

Instead, I have a photo of me enjoying the first KOI drink I ever bought for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, even though there was the whole KOI craze I never actually bought one myself. I've drunk KOI twice before but they were treats from others. I guess I've never actually bought it cause there were always long queues when I passed by the shop, but well, there weren't any today and I was gonna buy a drink anyway so yeah. Got the Green Tea Macchiato (cause I'm a green tea junkie  ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ )  . I didn't exactly drink it the correct way though, was on the go so I shook it like a normal milk tea drink, grabbed a straw and poked a huge hole in it (^_^;)

For those who don't know, the correct way to drink it is to use the small knife they give you, cut a slit in the cup and drink it like a glass of water to enjoy the full taste. Oh well, there's always a next time I guess!

PS. Finally adjusted the layout so that I can put in bigger pictures now. Ain't that so much better? :D
Also, I'm thinking of importing posts from my old blogs here, like those on my concert experience and stuff. Wonder if anyone would wanna read. haha.

Such is an abnormal day.

Two of my Black Friday Shopping shoes arrived today! ヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ Wore the studded sneakers to school. My special package has arrived as well~ More pics another day. (hint: it's game related)

After school, popped by Bugis for awhile before heading home. Finally saw the Alpacas that everyone's talking about in flesh. Spotted some awesomely fluffy Rillakuma & Kutusita Nyanko bags. A tad ex at $44 each cause they're kinda small. oh well, I guess demand and fluffiness sells.

 The crowd to get out of the station today is crazy! ・ﾟ・(｡>Д<｡)・ﾟ・ So far it has only happened to me for getting up/down the escalators out of the boarding area. The crowd near the gates would have cleared by then.

Anyway, went to visit my aunt. Funny how we were fumbling around to take photos of the hamper before transfering the flowers out. I'd just restarted my phone and my other aunt forgot to bring hers Lol. Glad that my aunt's making good pace recovering. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Came home to some Kit Kats from Japan. It's a present from one of my relatives who went there. Green Tea Kit Kats are love. <3

Okay, Running Man just ended so I'm gonna hit the sack.

Mello out~

New hair~

 
Those who know me well would know that I've been cutting and dying my own hair for the past 3 years. Just got a new self-cut haircut last night. In the photo above I've pulled it up into a ponytail, more pics another day. Need to put in some pink soon. (^-^)

PS. Been trying to catch an Eevee on Pokémon Black 2 and it's not exactly been very successful. Anyone has Eevees to spare? :P

Lost, But Not Found

Found this in the house while packing up my games. I really miss my red and black PSP which was stolen from me sometime back. I left it in my bag while going to work at a new work place, didnt think anyone would steal it cause I had stuffed it at the bottom of my bag under all my clothes and other belongings. I lost my God Eater, MHP3 and Persona 3 save data together with it, as well as my Monster Hunter PSP case.

Was really upset because I had ordered my Mon Hun case online (It's pretty much sold out now >.<) and had spent many hours playing the games which save data I lost. I was one battle to the end of God Eater and one battle to the end of Persona 3. Sighs.

Well, the person also stole some money from my wallet and a new pair of shorts that my friend was gonna pass me. I guess he or she really needed the cash.

I do hope to buy another red and black PSP in the future, but for now I'll just play with the borrowed black one (:

An Unexpected Kind of Happening.

Been thinking whether to switch back to blogger. Even though I've been using the wordpress interface for quite awhile, I'm still having problems uploading photos :/

The past few days have been kind of gloomy for me cause my aunt was admitted to hospital. Been visiting her nearly everyday. Can't understand why some relatives don't extend their help, instead they keep suggesting stuff to me and my family. I mean like, we're already doing as much as we can, why don't yall do it and help to instead of asking us to do more stuff. I'm not claiming to be the best helper but at least it won't hurt for the rest to offer some help, no?

I think I'll be back to blogging properly soon. I miss blogging weekly like I used to in my secondary school days. Also, I do feel that my English standard has dropped drastically, argh! I def need to write more, I don't want it to drop to the extent that I get nervous when I have to write for websites and stuff.

I don't think I'll be cosplaying for L2P or EOY. I was intending to finish up my Faith cosplay (from Mirror's Edge), but now I don't think I'll have the time. Oh well. Looking forward to the photoshoot for next year. I might pick up parkour formally as well so I can do more stuff for the photoshoots, not just for Faith but afew other nimble characters as well.

Games I've completed recently:

1. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attroney on iOS! I've always wanted to play the game but never got down to buying it. Bought it on my phone two weeks ago when I fell sick and couldn't sleep. Completed it and I'm hooked! I've always loved detective/mystery games so it ain't really surprising, been looking at the trailer for the new Professor Layton VS. Ace Attroney too and it really looks good!

I'm considering cosplaying one of the chars for a photoshoot next year (if I can find the time). Akane has already cosplayed Edgeworth and we can totally do a shoot together and I have some ideas so I hope to be able to pull my plan through.

2. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective also on iOS. This was also bought and completed when I was sick. I loved the ending! It's just so epic and unexpected! Actually, I did notice (the final character) being there in afew scenes, but I never expected that it was how the story would end! Yet another new favourite game, I do hope they'll create a sequel in the far future. I love the vector style art as well, it kinda reminds me of The World Ends With You.

That's all for now I guess. Needa complete my school work and prepare for tmr & friday's lessons.

Mello out!

And it shall be, what the future commands of it;

Hola guys!~ (^______^)
I am back. Back from the mundane tendencies of what homework brings, though I'd have to admit, I'm pretty proud of my work this time. It's something I would at least call decent, given my tendencies to be hard on myself. Sometimes I feel a real lack of resources when I want to do projects hence having to choose other alternatives to replace stuff which kind of disappoints me. Ah wells. Talking about being back, I'll be back reporting game news & covering events as well, so do keep a look out for that. Have a couple of game reviews to do as well.

In the meantime, I'm on my one week school holiday, so any friends who's free to meet up do let me know. The other half of the time is going to be spent preparing for Cosfest and the upcoming projects I have for this blog & CosplaysOfTheWorld. More info will be released in the next update.

Anyway, looks like the next two weeks will be rather interesting (other than the fact that I will be starting my new school term next week). I will be interviewing Taiwanese cosplayer, Neneko at the Youth Mascot Parade on Saturday. Pretty excited about it, she looks kinda cute to me too. Will be posting up the blogposts on previous events I've attended as well, even though it's kind of late, but well, for memories sake. Other upcoming events include Cosfest next week and I am really excited about my plans as well. Somehow everything just fell into place, it's such a coincidence that quite a few of my friends have decided to cosplay this series for Cosfest. No doubt it's a popular series, but this group of people who are all familiar with each other and didn't plan on the group will end up in one, and I'll be part of it too. Quite afew of them are friends whose cosplays I really like love, can't wait for next week! Wondering what we'll be doing? Y'all will have to wait for photos from next week to find out, so stay tuned! ;)

and let it be drowned in darkness;

Been really busy lately. Kinda happy that school's okay I guess. I like my ARCS team. Been writing alot elsewhere lately, really surprised myself this time by the amount of stuff I can generate. Faster, better, stronger. I feel gooood.

Somehow, I know of that shadow, of someone following me, but I realized something interesting. She to me, is like Sora to Roxas. Except that both of us are the counter part to the other. Neither of us is truely darkness or light. I guess I don't mind after all. I have no mind to defeat her purposes or anything. I'll just continue working on my own life.

Apart from that, there's quite abit of stuff I want to do. Events are coming up as well. Today's the only day I have some freed up time to clear the files off my laptop. Got the photoshoot photos from a past modelling session as well.

I feel like I'm living a dream.

in time, where your eyes meet the lines;

I kind of really just wanna fall asleep right now. Yes, I'm at work. There's no one here and I'm sleepy. Some dude just made a fuss here just now cause he wanted to "have girls" and not just use the steam room. It's kind funny to me how people like that get mad. It's like blatantly saying "Hey, I'm pissed off cause I'm looking to bang some stranger, any stranger" or something. I mean, Idk, just seems to me like it makes them look all the more sad and lonely. Ah wells. I might have something against people paying to um, bang someone or get banged.

Anyway, looking foreward to going to the Anime Week event. Though I don't think there will be that much stuff at the booths and all, I still want to treasure hunt and have a look around the shops there. Think I should hang out there more often. I just really love looking at the packaging of Japanese (and sometimes Korean) products! It's usually done so well, and some even with interesting concepts.



Shall hit the sack now, so おやすみ!

sneaky Kuma

Spotted a Kuma (Persona 4 / ペルソナ 4) keychain on someone's bag at school today! The bag was two tables away from mine, can't believe I even noticed it. It seems like I keep finding Persona stuff everywhere I go 8D

Sigh, blogging really reminds me of how much my English has deteriorated. I seriously need to read. There's quite many books on my want-to-read list at the moment, hopefully I'll get to read them soon.



Here's a quick sketch I did today in school. So far I've managed to keep my promise to myself of practicing everyday. We'll see where this is heading soon (:

ARCS class today was good. Recieved good comments for our presentation. I think our flow of presentation wasn't as good as the other groups, but it was straight to the point which served it's purpose. I think when it comes to presentations, most people tend to want to be the ones to present the most memorable one, but I feel that we must always remember that presentations are to communicate information. I remember creating the most eye catching powerpoint slides in primary and secondary school just to grab the audience's attention, but now I really do see presentations in a different light.

Well, that's all for today,
じゃね！

April 2012, in photos.

April 1st - 15th 2012

Bleached out my roots, blonde once again~ Made several mistakes while bleaching, but luckily it still turned out okay.












Say hi to Frodo, my neighbor that lives in a pavilion near the park.






Sketch of Minato, the protagonist of Persona 3.














New wallpaper for the month (or months to come), Knife from the PS2 game Armen Noire. The game will be re-released as a port to UMD for the PSP in the coming months. I hope to be able to get my hands on this game!


Crackers from Taiwan that Minnie gave me~










Found this at a game shop! Bought it at 15SGD. Man, a real treasure for Persona / ペルソナ fans who'd wanna collect Persona related merchandise now. On a sidenote, I want a PS Vita soon!

Shanghai airport 1/2 hour wait for bus to come..

Fiona tied for me :D super nice, and like really cool she can tie it for herself pretty fast (: haha something I need to learn. Can remember last time a friend of mine used to tie it to school everyday, while my mum can't tie it and I don't know how to either. Must learn!
