March rhymes with Overwatch?

Happy belated White Day~~~ <3
I'm so glad that my March is as busy as my January and February XD
I did mention in my End of Year video? That one of my resolutions is to have a year where I can say 'being busy is a good thing' :D
And I'm very very blessed that I'm still thinking so, until now >w<

Alright~! So what has happened to V during the last 2 weeks :D :D


For the first time, I've decided to cosplay a game character xD beside Love Live and even though I have another character that I haven't really realize TwT
It won't be right to say that it's my first non-Japanese character cosplay, since I did Disney princesses and Harley Quinn before >D
Anyway, yes, I was tempted and couldn't stand the urge to cosplay as D.Va <3
I love bunnies so yea >////<

If my real hair is longer, I wouldn't need to put on wig xD

Ahhh I was having a White Day giveaway event~ my very first giveaway for 2017~!


The giveaway was to answer some questions from my FIRST PROJECT series videos~ winners would get my printed photos :D


Due to other cosplan, my real D.Va cosplay costume is not with me yet; means I only will truly cosplay as D.Va in May/June~ so I only like the home version~ I don't even have a gun πŸ˜‚

I decided the theme to be 'Sleepover with D.Va' <3
Look at that smile as I was opening the packet of chips πŸ˜‚

Managed to get enough photos for an album >////<

Photos were taken at home with my own camera and self editing by me ><
After I printed out the photos, I realize the colors were a bit lacking of contrast ;w;

Thank you Andrew~~~~

Andrew here is the guy behind the camera and the headphone xD I mean the headphone is his :x I'm waiting for when I'll order mine from him πŸ˜‚
Without him, I wouldn't have much photos as D.Va, as I'll be taking pictures by tripod πŸ˜‚

And I'm giving out polaroid prints along with the printed photos~

I had everything planned out in February? That's why I posted polaroid sample photos in my last post XD hehe
I gave out not only D.Va prints but also Hanamaru and Chii~


These were self taken xD I've posted Chii's as well~! I managed to take all 3 characters + announcement video in one day πŸ˜‚
Of course I can never thank enough everyone who participated!! Best White Day gift ever <3

HAHA I became D.Va for 2 days straight :x

Beside wig, the hardship of D.Va? Is the pink marks XD
I use lipstick + eyeshadow instead of face paint; therefore it's actually harder to remove~ marks still there even after I wiped off my makeup XD

I did D.Va -> Chii -> Hanamaru... so my main editing point for Chii & Hanamaru pics were the pink marks πŸ˜‚

Thennnnnn what else did I do beside being busy with the Giveaway in March XD
Oh~! I did private photoshoot too; while playing with make-up XD

Ziggy Stardust makeup~

Raise your hand is you know who started this makeup style :D :D

Actually, 'make-up tutorial video' is in my 'to-do-video' list but I'm not sure what make-up will everyone be interested in O_O should I do half-face make-up or what I'm still having a lot of thoughts ;;

At last I got the chance to wear this mask πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

My videos (and of course, WHITE DAY GIVEAWAY photos) were taken at my home, mostly in my room....so here's a sneak peak how my room looks like when I'm doing a shoot πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

No mum, I'm honestly telling you that there wasn't any hurricane πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Teehee XD

My house isn't a 'castle' with 50+ rooms; I don't even have a guest room but I love my house as it's where all my things are + it's where I'm being myself the most!
I did have some photoshoots and videos taken here before but I'm trying to make my room even more like a studio? Like I've decided to add white curtain on the wall (since my wallpaper is all pink~) and got myself tripod..ok I still have a lot to learn until I think I'm capable to use proper lighting XD

That was one weekend...the other weekend; I had a short getaway to Singapore~!

Went to watch SAO--------

I'm sorry I'm not a pure SAO fan, as in I only rate SAO as 7/10 and like only remember 3/5 of the whole story line and in my head SAO is just kiritoasunakiritoasuna so this movie wasn't really in my 'to-watc'- list but OMG IT WAS AWESOME---------
My feels to cosplay SAO came back ;-----;
I did cosplay as Asuna before but I don't think I suit her πŸ˜‚ that's why I actually sold my Asuna cosplay~
But I've fallen for another character instead ;; but I don't know whether I will really cosplay her or not one day ;;
I honestly like it as the movie is more related to the first season of the series, instead of the second one.. To me, the second series didn't give much impression to me; Sinon is all I remember when someone talks about the second series :x 
I really don't mind watching the movie again when it's available in Medan, it's that good to me ;w;

I also went to watch Shape of Voice; Koe no Katachi~
I cried when I read the manga, so I was 150% sure I'd cry when I watch the anime..because the trailer was enough to crack me up..
But frankly, I had higher expectation for Koe no Katachi that I ended up not being as touched as when I watched SAO >< I thought i'd cry for more than half of the show (like when I watched Orange :x) but I didn't ;w;

Went to my favorite cafe; Hoshino <3

Had haircut and hair treatment at Number76~

And right away went for a night shoot >D

It was my first time working with John Himura and Vinc Chua :D :D thank you for the fun night~



Been wanting to meet them since December last year but due to time, we only got to work together in March ;;
Due to personal reason, most of the time I visit Singapore during weekday >-<

But I had a day time shoot as well that day, with Zwei <3


Last shoot as Mumei XD I sold off my gear already >< I still do want to Cosplay as Mumei but different versions ^^~
That was my 4th time cosing as Mumei; 3rd photoshoot. Nope, I never mind cosing same character a few times; for event or photoshoot request because I feel happy and really honoured that I suit the character to the point of being demanded an encore? XD hehe and of course; 8 out of 10 characters that I cosplay are characters that I love~!

I baked after 3-4 years of not πŸ˜‚

I found ABC Cooking Studio late last year when I was walking around Takashimaya. I've always been interested in baking, but never really get the chance to do it in Medan as 
1. I don't own an oven 
2. There are only 5 people in my house including me πŸ˜‚
I've also thought of doing fun baking video but yeah I don't have the space to /cries

Anyway, I've decided to join a trial class at ABC Cooking Studio~!


Reasons why I decided to try cooking class:
1. IT was my mum's birthday XD my family is quite strict with healthy food = lesser option for birthday cake = my mum likes chocolate cake = diy is always healthier >////<
2. ABC Cooking Studio is originally from JapanπŸ˜‚ nah this is random reason, since this recipe is not really Japanese related πŸ˜‚ ABC Studio does offer Japanese sweets (wagashi) making course though :D
3. It's in town~ I mean the place is very accessible :D :D

The class was really fun! Since it was Friday afternoon, only 2 students (including me) joined~ the class was open for 4 people :D :D small class = better control <3

Before icing~

My mum graded the cake with 8/10~~ 1. no oily no creamy 2. not too sweet XD
I asked my mum whether she wants candle or not she said no need πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
This cake is also very suitable as no icing means no need to put in fridge, so it was very convenient <3

Went to Meidiya at Liang Court to get my favorite shampoo <3

Went to support my friend's Idol Cafe event <3

I'm such a weeb in March πŸ˜‚ 1. Korean weeb (as D.Va HAHA) 2. Game weeb (I-i'm sorry I don't play Overwatch :x Google Wikipedia YouTube Facebook are my best friends :x) 3. Idol-rhythm-game weeb πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

The Idol Cafe event was made up with Ensemble Stars Cosplayers on Saturday and Idolish7 Cosplayers on Sunday~
Saturday was my last day in Singapore ;; I didn't even get to really attend my friend's shift ;; I know I'm rude but I only know the character that my friend was cosing, so whenever the active staffs ask me 'who is your bias', I'd answer my friend </3

The cafe was at Coffeemin, with brownies from P.Osh <3

Otsukare Tora <3

My bias HAHA well, I just happened to like red hair characters too <3
Her turn was in the second shift, but I always disturb her during the first shift ;w;

Bishies from first shift <3 I missed a chance to get selfie with Leo >///<

I ended up buying a lot of prints XD

Not only from Ensemble Stars but also from Idolish7~
I really look forward to Ensemble Stars anime >////< I hope it'll be poisonous (?) like how I ended up being a Touken Ranbu fan after watching the anime XD

I really wish to make a cosplay cafe event one day ><

Loots from Forever21~

I don't really shop at fast-fashion stores lately, but I couldn't stop myself from getting accessories from Forever21 because of pastel colorsssssss
I love pastel colors, because they look good with black >D like how tainted my pure soul is (?)

March 8th was International Woman day~ thank you Coffeenatics <3

Then after came back from Singapore, it was time for my White Day Giveaway Winners Announcement video~

Okie, my new haircut isn't really visible since the length doesn't change much πŸ˜‚

It's only visible when I use straightening iron to curl in the ends?
My new haircut is thinner with hmmmm what do you call it....with level? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ like the front till the back the length is different~
I'm really happy I got this haircut, cause it gave me inspiration to try out cosing as another character from Overwatch πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


From Korean weeb to Chinese weeb πŸ˜‚ well, it's easier to speak out Mei's lines πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I tried cosing as Mei for the announcement video~

It was hard to record video with specs on, cause of reflection from the glass :x

Same goes with when I take selfie, cause I don't have glass-less glasses πŸ˜‚ I'm sorry I always find glass-less specs as silly, until I learn that it's actually good for photoshoot πŸ˜‚
Mei was easier since I don't need to draw pink lines + no wig plus it's easier to look Chinese :x I'm really happy and thankful that everyone like my Mei costest too TTvTT xie xie da jia~

Congrats to the 3 winners <3

As a surprise, I gave out 6 extra sets to people who correctly answered all my questions or honestly saying that their comment is a copied answer or apologizing for not understanding my video ;w;
I-i'm honestly quite shocked that everyone made mistake with the second question ;; I was referring to Platina, the third opening of CCS by Maaya Sakamoto >< it's the song that gave me a dream to become an Anisong singer as well ;w;

I had fun decorating the polaroid prints XD I hope I didn't do too much :x

Printed photos~

Once again, I'm really really really HONTOUNI thankful to everyone who participated!
Those who didn't win are entitled to a spot for my next Fansign or Giveaway events though I don't know when will I plan for one ><
Oh~! I'd also like to thank everyone who commented on my blog post! Feel free to comment any idea or request for me too :D :D

I'll be away from Medan next week, to a place I have been in 2 years, or more like 5 years; Tokyo, Japan!!

2 years ago at Okinawa; didn't feel like Japan πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

5 years ago at Tokyo πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ OMG πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Another resolution this year is to be able to attend anime-related-event outside Singapore and Medan and Jakarta and I really can't believe it's coming true next week, and at the GOLDEN COUNTRY; Japan!! I'm heading to Anime Japan 2017 ><
It'll be cold; 10 degrees!? But I hope my excitement will..umm....make me feel THE COLD DOESn't BOTHER ME ANYWAY πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ because the cosplan I have is with sleeveless dress ;;

But before my trip, I'll be preparing 2 videos (1 song cover, 1 make-up related) and 1 costest~
I do have a list of songs to cover~ and another video idea but sometime I feel kind of empty, as I don't really have deadline like during FIRST LOVE Series or deadline for my Giveaway photos πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Sometime it feels like I'm back to walking on an unstable bridge, but I shall take all the love and support I've been getting from everyone as courage to strengthen myself! <3
