Comic Fiesta 2007 - CF07!

yeah~ the acg event to end the year! comic fiesta 2007, brought to you by comic fiesta committee (and a whole lotta sponsors at the back cover of the CF booklet). image above -photo by angeline92

CF day one:
as you know, (sheesh read previous post) i arrived a little after 3pm. reluctant to spend rm10 for a couple of hours in the event hall coz i dont have a camera with me (in the first place i was already late and i had to leave early to meet 'first batch' singapore relatives for dinner), i stood at the entrance of the CF hall waiting like im planning a way to sneak in without a ticket, which i was not! the security staff at the front entrance was giving me sigh-you-coming-in-or-not look.

so i guess i spent quite some time at the entrance. i bought two lovely blonde, one long and one short wigs off raincloud. bought ice cream for myself and yori's belated birthday which we had been waiting for a month already. bought CF day2 ticket. pulled yeewen and relyss out of the hall to show-off my bleached hair/wig and to say hi. bumped into yuiko for (cute white sakura) leg warmers. gave kclee a thrashing from wilddrive and another GE pal. (not all the aforementioned are in order.)

also, waited for BD coz he said to let him know when ive arrived.. mana tahu ada satu geng ikut dia bila kita jumpa. somehow i only remember greeting kenji and may. oh, and also a kurosaki ichigo cosplayer who had a complication with his ticket. i dont know what was it but i ended up entering CF hall in the end, coz i was in the right place at the right time. *wink*

there were so many people there i dont know why i was thinking about going back to sri sedaya school hall instead. (it would be crowded at any other hall.) long coats being stepped on; melting make-ups; wings smacking people; tails jabbing people at the wrong ends; wigs worn loosely; broken props, tight walkways due to two- all-way traffic; tighter spot for photography, etc. you'd have to be there to witness it all~!

here's a few of my personal favourites (thanks to other cameramen and -women): most adorable rukia ever!!! (i bet byakuya would fall head over ex too) -photo by haya5h1

one of the three dances that i missed (keroro gunso, lucky star, hare hare yukai) but the blonde school girl above should be from nougami neuro, right? -photo by cikgu

resident evil (movie) melc, you gotta get this costume to go with your RE hair lah! -photo by cikgu

vampire knights: night class! cosplayers from left: yuiko, (?), relyss -photo by raine

oh noes. its.. zaraki konpachi!! -photo by waninoko

choose your character. iori: A, B, C. (i so missed their appearance - again, due to my wig and dance.) -photo by micus


oh noes. k' and mello and kyo in one?? (i dint meet this guy) -photo by izumi ishtar

CF day two:
nyao! no, i wasnt a nekomimi cosser. but i did get out of bed at 12pm and kenji called to lodge a complain about the colour hair spray that i dint give him any intructions how-to-use. then TY carpool with my mum to times square for CF. this time day2, i went with camera (but no battery), costumes (not decided, so i brought two), wig (masih kurang mahir pakai), and CF ticket (bought on caturday). people, i dont have any cash left to buy you anything from CF coz they all went to my head. XD wig lah.

i spent like a zillion times (until past 3pm) trying to wear the new short wig perfectly and i wouldn't budge from the toilet until i got it almost right. it still wasnt right! thanks to edison i finally stopped hogging the toilet and he helped me with the wig. (it was entirely my fault i know. i spent many days practising to wear the one for day1, but this one i could only spent few hours on the night before day2.)

*zoom* broken first rule of lilian high school rules that all girls of grace walk, do not run, to where their destination is. met moomoocow, amaterasu, manjix and integra (they were present on day1 too), a few of my coursemates (including edison) and made new friends all over again. oh, met yuanie again~ ^__^

all in cf day2.. i did not have lunch (late breaky actually), did not watch cosplay chess (i was busy fixing my wig), did not collect freebies (except for the CF booklet), did not get ben's autograph (i dint even know he was there until i left!), did not feel like i covered the entire event (pardon my mass comm instinct although not like wow). but i met more people than CF06, saw a lot more great cosplays, and would like to dedicate this post to minori - have a very happy birthday! <3

p.s. photos later coz i dont have the USB cable to upload the pix from the digicam to the comp!
p.p.s. now editing the photos!
p.p.p.s. MY photos on next post~

mini update..

you've got mail~ i received a beautiful painstakingly hand-crafted enough credit? x'mas greeting card from melc last week~ it took the post office 4-5 days to process it from the date on the envelope.

lookie here, melc-made card! i absolutely loved it, thankx melc! inset: a peek inside.

saturday live dance~ i couldnt believe i went to bed so early and woke up early on saturday morning for my dance competition/exam. i guess i needed all the time i can get on my hands to wear my contact lense. yes, i finally bought myself some pair of contacts last sunday, when dad and mizuiro flew to perth for a visit to my uncle.

once i got dressed, the dance instructor gave me a was-that-kid-in-my-class and is-that-who-i-think-it-is look.. XD most of my dance classmates were suspicious about my hair and asked if it was real - and for first time i received question like "may i touch your hair/wig?" with large round eyes looking back. then, there was a girl who asked "hey, are you a cosplayer?" when i said yes, her friend went "wah! how did you know?" XD very excitable crowd.

lookie here, its the closest photo i could get of my dance outfit, next to yori as tenten -photo by ysmokona.

the dance event ended early around 2pm (my partner [not photographed] and i were not awarded any prize for each of the three dance category but we had fun) so i managed to go to CF day1 earlier, reached times square after 3pm. i went to the hall on sixth floor without trouble as it turned out to be the same place as was ACF'07.

CF day1, await next post!

here's a piece of suspense:

ps. i dont have a camera with me on the whole of saturday so im depending on everyone to mail me pix for dance and CF ok!

to-morrow and to-morrow!

no, its not a christmas poetry reading session im having. it really is about tomorrow and tomorrow. XD

right now, i have two last assignments (yay!! no more rush until next year!) to hand up today noon. after that, practice a couple hours today and then dance my feet off on saturday's dance competition. also tonight is i have to put ALL my costumes together, for dance and cosplay at CF this weekend. but, first i need to decide which and what to wear!

saturday, dance:
latin ballroom - white shirt, black vest, black jeans? (well, the jeans element isnt very obvious.. phew!)
rock 'n' roll - red print shirt, black jeans? (the print shirt has katakana all over it of all things!)
waltz ballroom - same outfit as latin, but should i wear a black suit on top?

saturday, CF 5pm onwards:
random waiter - same outfit as latin, but with half apron.. oh and, short short bleached hair. you guys call me friend had better stay at CF hall and await my arrival! XD

sunday, full-day CF:
misa amane - school uniform-ish costume, but wig got styling problem! or,
sei/rei - black seifuku.. i dont have a bamboo/wooden sword for rei.. and i like to be naughty sei, but only with yumi around. (mind you, sei and rei are two different girls.) or,
ghetto kyo kusanagi - yeah wth i know my short hair too short for him. or,
more closet chara - sigh, havent rummaged my closet for more ghettoness yet.

shoot. ive got time management problem. gotta go~

angel of mine..

When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find

I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
I'm gonna love you boy you are so fine

You came into my life sent from above
When I lost all hope you showed me love

Angel of mine

Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of mine

Deep inside I need to show
You came into my life sent from above (sent from above)
When I lost all hope, you showed me love (boy you showerd me lo~~ve)
I'm checkin for ya, boy youre right on time (right on time)
Angel of mine (angel o~~f mine)

I never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new,
Every breath that I take, the love that we make
I only share it with you (you, you, you,you)
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine

You came into my life sent from above (came into my li~~fe, yeah yeah yeah)
When I lost all hope you showed me love (boy you showed me love, uh huh)
I'm shakin for ya, boy youre right on time (but boy your right on ti~me)

How you changed my world you'll never know
