Estee Lauder Model Search 2010

last weekend i went to the final roadshow of the Estee Lauder Model Search in KLCC. mummy just wanted to purchase some EL products, so she gave me the contest entry instead. thus, this time i am joining for fun (plus, i won't be going to any fancy convocation for my Diploma graduation to waste money on some fancy photo).

"this time"? yes, i have participated in the same model search contest in 2007 (in Mid Valley) but i was really bad at my first attempt. honest! XD "this time" i have learnt a lot more from previous cosplay photoshoots, so i decided i should give it my best pose even though i will not be a finalist.

allow me to share the photo entry that i submitted for Estee Lauder model search 2010:

sorry, this is not a scan but a photo of a photo. perhaps i can scan stuff when i get an all-in-1 printer.

My Top 5 Treat List

cosplayer + lolita + fangirl + shopaholic + devoted netizen = you know what i want. *wink*

those who saw my tweet which said that i was in Low Yat Plaza very recently, here's why - kclee and i were browsing for a nice little something, specially for yours truly. follow my top 5 treat list countdown to find out what it is!

Number 5 -

urusan seri paduka baginda...

yes, i do understand that i am turning 20 years old soon, but i had not expect that today i would be receiving any sort of government letter to inform me about paying tax! i do not even earn enough to spend, did they think i had enough to spare for tax? (apparently, i thought the only reason to receive an envelope subtitled "urusan seri paduka baginda" is for income tax.)

well, thank goodness it was not. because when i flipped to the other side, the envelope had a Traxx.fm stamp on it! i quickly ripped it open, quite neatly too, and found this - PCD Doll Domination album!

Pussy Cat Dolls: Doll Domination (album)

it seems that Traxx.fm decided to take a few months before posting the album to me, from a call-in album-giveaway contest featuring Pussy Cat Dolls (PCD) i won a few months back... erm, i mean october 2008! next monday, kilmenyanne and i shall reap our sow (which means we will be driving back to college and listening to the CD lah).

[scheduled] David Archuleta Showcase in Sunway Amphitheatre!

hello fans of David Archuleta! i am now in sunway amphitheatre, awaiting the appearance of David himself! i dont really know the programme as of press time, but it has been speculated that our 2nd Malaysian Idol winner Daniel Lee is doing the opening act!

this is only HALF the tickets my friend and i have received (coz we have eight)!

you can follow my real-time updates live on Twitter! also, here are my friends' blogs who have blogged about David Archuleta in Malaysia:

nQw - main sponsor of the 8 tickets!
Dniz - fellow reporter of David's arrival in KLIA!
mizuiro - imouto-san who will be tagging along for his showcase!

David Archuleta in traditional baju melayu!

some of you may remember (a few months ago) that the local otaku scene speculated Hirano Aya was in Malaysia; they stalked KL down to her hotel and whereabouts, and incidentally, found her dressed in the Malaysian traditional baju kurung. expect no less from the next idol in Malaysia!

David Archuleta in Malaysian traditional baju melayu!

very recently at david archuleta's press conference, he appeared to have donned a lovely green baju melayu, and he learnt how to tie the kain samping live on stage too! here is a photo sequence from sultanmuzaffar's blog.

*still editing the post for more information - stay tuned!*

decided to post the rest in a new post. come back at 3pm! (yes, that's when the concert starts! i'll report live from sunway amphitheatre! you want, dont cha?)

JJ and Rudy's Avril Wannabe Contest

okay, so you guys remember my posts about Avril? yeah, i am posting this one because i am kinda upset those two posts did not manage to hold up my page hits. (is that considered manipulating my blog hits now?) joking! lol. i received more than 50hits on both days, you can click here to see how my bravenet traffic chart looks. i have more than 2333hits as of now.

screencap that i saved right after i posted the second avril-related post on 22august.

anyway, i am not in the mood to explain how the whole hitz.fm avril wannabe contest went because i lost and did not get my concert ticket, RM3000 and the fender telecaster guitar. i'll just photoblog this time around. >__>

fresh-faced akiko with hair all braided up.. but does not look like avril right?

okay, ive got my bottom half done~ (inspired by avril's girlfriend music video)

mummy did my make-up and i added a little finishing touches and we are off to the scene!

hitz.fm staff advising all of us not to sing out the words d**m and motherf****** (adrian is the one with red mohawk on the far right, coordinator of the contestants) LOL!

the top ten finalists battling it out for the grand prize - its prince lui at the mic (she's one cosplayer whom i have not met for a million years; jared, if i'm not wrong, was with her supporter gang too - he was Anicom Cosplay judge.)

move along, move along. nothing to see here, just two people battling out for the grand prize with jj and rudy as main hosts of the day.

now there, you better not tell me you had not expected her to win the grand prize, had you? of course, the crossdresser and an 8-year-old had the crowd eating out of their hands like mad.

i got an autograph from all the hitz.fm DJs who were present that day to make the event crazy~ clow took this photo for me and kclee (why the kira pose?). ^__^ thanks for your support!

as we were leaving, thinking whether to crash the sunway lagoon sloggi body art event or not, we bumped into a couple /as/ members! XD so we tagged along with mercury, guest18, linkin, aiko, and the rest to the arcade. but you know i dont do arcades, so kclee, clow and guest18 tagged wimme to meet ywsmokona and friend at zanmai sushi (we dont know where that is) but they left aready, so we met at animetech instead. after that, all bid each other goodbye and i went home with mummy.

photographs are courtesy of the following people: myself (just the first two topmost shot at home, as i was busy running around without a camera at the scene); kclee; clow; and hitz.fm (select location: sunway pyramid). if you happen to be one of the contestants who dropped by and interested to get your photos, just drop me a comment and how i can get back to you. new friends welcome aboard!
