Tuesday 20 February 2018

I guess the last blog for February..

I forgot that there are only 28 days in February..which mean that my blog post next week will be either on the 28th (Wed) or 2nd of March (Friday) because the 1st is a Thursday and my 1st is always a day for my calendar πŸ˜‚okie no Throwback Thursday for next blog post πŸ˜‚

Anyway I'm still writing about my end of January in February πŸ˜‚

Mentioned in my previous blog post that I had a small trip in January, and thus a photo I took with my mum during the trip (it doesn't show where I was though πŸ˜‚)

Started reading this poem book named Stuff I've been feeling lately by Alicia Cook~

My very first trip in 2018 was to Penang, for annual health check-up; eye check-up to be exact for me, because I do frequently wear contact lens (not because I like to see handsome guys 🌝)
Because I know that visit to Malaysia is always relaxing (the only thing I'm usually busy with when it comes to Malaysia is eating LOL), I brought a book to read (and bought more later on πŸ˜‚)

Wore my fave pinkXblue coordinate and found this cute drawing book

If I don't have self-control, I can really splurge on buying 'useless stuff', like some stuff that I just find nice because of aesthetic or for photoshoot..
Twelve Days of Christmas is one of my fave Christmas songs and the drawing inside is so niceeee nope I had self-control that day /-/

Went to Straits Quay for the first time and had a meetup with Chew >w<

First 'overseas meetup' in 2018 was with Chew XD he moved to Penang last year, so we were both 'tourist' πŸ˜‚

Apparently quite a 'tourist' spot for photoshoot but it was slightly drizzling TwT

A quick shot XD

              
At night we went to this temple, another tourist spot for they put up lights at night~

Too dark for selfie but why not πŸ˜‚

I always stay at G Hotel, for it's convenient to be surrounded by 2 malls and honestly never really travel around much in Penang, thus both places were first for me and I found another interesting place as my mum wanted to visit another mall, away from Gurney

Asia Comic Cultural Museum

Woah :o I never thought that there's something like this in Penang! Couldn't really go inside due to time strain but kinda considering visiting it next time!

The museum needs ticket but the shop beside it doesn't need one, 
and I went it cause I noticed 'weeb merchandise' from outside πŸ˜‚

I didn't buy anything though it seems like I would for there were Kuroshitsuji stuff πŸ˜‚

Beside my mum, I also went to Penang with my aunty and her daughter = my cousin XD

That night, she did my hair (though only halfway in the photos πŸ˜‚)
Honestly, I haven't touch my hair iron at all this year πŸ˜‚been ages since I really style my hair πŸ˜‚

Game update1: started playing Uta no Prince-sama Rhythm game as it's now available for iOS XD

But uh I think it has been weeks since I last open it since rhythm game is not my type of game πŸ˜‚I may play it again if they decided to add HEAVENS πŸ˜‚

Few days before February, it was announced that I was going to be one of the guest performers for a new Japanese oriented event in Medan; JMedanFest~

Realized that I can do twintail now XD

My own photos kinda remind me of Kurumi from DATEALIVE LOL cause my bangs so long πŸ˜‚

Came up with coordinate for 28th January

28th January was Kamiya Hiroshi's birthday πŸ˜‚LAKERS for Akashi (KnB had collaboration with American basketball teams~), HiroC chibi doll, Choromatsu, DGS accessories and of course, Nyanko sensei <3
Nope I've no idea about LAKERS tbh πŸ˜‚

Had impromptu live while waiting for my ride (my cousin XD) and my senior took short video of my reaction when we heard my song playing at Lippo Mall's lift πŸ˜‚

Okie random selfie πŸ˜‚

Posted my Mulan costest photo, that I did last year πŸ˜‚

I tried the double makeup, which is more visible without beauty camera's filter /-/

It's still a dream for me to cosplay the two-faces of Mulan /-/ may be one day /-/

Did costest as Kizuna Aiiiii but not with her wig πŸ˜‚it's D.Va's wig πŸ˜‚

And had another impromptu Instagram live XD

I asked in Fb whether it's alright for me to do V day FS as Ai and thanks to everyone's response, I managed to do FS event this year! <3 so much love from everyone this month <3

Twintail for 2.2 <3 it was a TGIF~

And how I spent most of my Saturday in Medan, as a hikikomori OwO

Beside rushing for video edit, I love staying at home on Saturdays, because somehow I spent half of the week outside + remaining days will be busy recording vlog / doing costest, thus Saturday is really my fangirling indoor day /w/
I've been eating instant soba that I received from my friend in Japan XD plus I do have a number of instant food from Japan for my weekends /w/

Had a road trip with friends on a Sunday >w<

And in February..may be it's because of February = 2? okay, that's unrelated vbut I've gone to middle parting πŸ˜‚safe (even more) time for hairstyling πŸ˜‚

visited one of the famous photo spots in Medan's suburb

It was my very first time visiting Hill Park.........
Okay I almost never go to Medan's suburb to proudly say that I'm from Medan πŸ˜‚

Hill Park is about 1.30hr ride from Medan
I went to Hill Park Amusement Park once, when I was in secondary school (8 years ago!?) and never stepped into the Hotel area until 2 weeks ago LOL
The hotel is famous for pre-wedding photoshoots and the area above is called as bamboo forest

Hill Park resort is quite wideee and they have ponddd

reminded me of Singapore's Botanic Garden but smaller OwO

cloudy but no rain

and black swan XD

One of the attractions there is the Parrot Paradise~

this parrot goes 'hello' and 'sigh' πŸ˜‚

Many colorful parrots there but this is my favorite, I name it strawberry cheesecake πŸ˜‚

more birds

That day, half of my phone's photo gallery is made up of birds πŸ˜‚

The one at the left is this bird house that we can enter

it's wider than my house ._.

and there were flamingo~

There were other animal too like crane, goat, owl etc

Ordered Miruku's water pudding for a week, as one of my preparations for JmedanFest (?) πŸ˜‚

Recorded vlog before 14th of February OwO

But for a certain reason (will be writing about it below), my weekly vlog's schedule is delayed that in a month, I may not be able to upload a vlog every week, though song cover video will stay as it is :D

Game update2: started playing Amnesia~

I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia~ and forget all those stupid little things~
Okie, not related to 5SOS' Amnesia but I like that song πŸ˜‚

Started playing another (otome) game XD I actually dropped the anime ages ago, because I find the main character so weak πŸ˜‚but picked it up again like a few days after my trip to Malaysia, because my friend recommended it to me OwO 

before that, before going to AFASG17, I tried the game when I realized that Kakki (Kakihara Tetsuya πŸ˜‚) is one of the characters + it's available in iOS~ but I dropped it because I play while reading wiki (LOL that's just how I am, like reading wiki first before watching movie) = I find that Shin's story is too complicated + I wasn't too interested in the other characters (to be exact in their seiyuu LOL)

But after watching the anime + in late December I come to love Ishida Akira, which is Kent's seiyuu, I realize that Kent only have an episode in the anime = NOT ENOUGH LAAAA = ended up playing lo πŸ˜‚
I only finished chapter 1 on 14th February, will play it again at the end of the week, my aim is to finish his route before February ends πŸ˜‚

Small charity for Chinese New Year :D

Fanart of Metal Knight and me <3

Practice for JmedanFest

For JmedanFest, I decided to sing acoustically for the very first time! I sang One OK Rock's Heartache and my song, Soba ni Ite
I recorded our (second πŸ˜‚) practice session and whipped it up into one song-cover video, which is now already in YouTube :D we also recorded a short message video for the event, thus I added a little BTS scene in the video as well XD 
from here on, every month, I'll also upload one self-cover video of my own song :D


The reason why I won't be uploading a new vlog every week anymore is this; I'm starting a YouTube series with my senior with the name Putar-Putar with VIVID GIRL
Putar-putar means going round and round, spin around, and our title means 'going around with VIVID GIRL' = driving around Medan with VIVID GIRL :D We've always been wanting to do vlog while driving, and thus we whipped up this plan! 

A trial video that we recorded to check out our camera's position has been uploaded to my YouTube channel here XD
We've made (official) YouTube account and IG account with previews of our first video to be uploaded this Sunday! :D Don't forget to follow and subscribe us XD

And  it's time for JmedanFest <3
    

My breakfast was Miruku XD

I decided to not cosplay for JmedanFest as the event itself tries to focus more on music than performance, though I still have a booth for my merchandise (mostly cosplay goods LOL :x)

Plus I wasn't feeling well that week T-T why I'm always less fit when it's near Chinese New Year T-T

Met friends after a year of not XD
Because we last met in 2017 πŸ˜‚

Special thanks to Nunu for accompanying me as guitarist <3 
and tete who always accompany me XD

To those who are curious at 'whose voice always interrupt V's vlog recording', this is how Tete looks like πŸ˜‚

Received my fave banana bread from one of my fans XD

hehe my dear sister to be exact XD

Thank you for buying my merchandise <3

Thank you for recording and mentioning me <3

And thank you for the tshirt <3

Received Metal Knight's t-shirt from GTStudiosMedan and super happy, for who's not happy for new shirt XD 
plus I wore it for Chinese New Year reunion meal & Chinese have the belief of wearing new shirt for the new year πŸ˜‚perfect πŸ˜‚

Thank you for the gifts <3 >///<

And for the support always <3

JmedanFest really felt like early Valentine's day to me, because I felt so much love <3 it's really like my birth month....ok, may be my '14th February = V day = my day' campaign is going well but putting that aside πŸ˜‚I really feel so much love >/////<

For this time's merchandise sales, I added 'FREE POLAROID PHOTO'~
It's not that I don't hate photos taken only by phone, only uploaded but I like polaroid photo for it's tangible ;w; and I can write message on them and the ones I above are special ones that I requested for message >< 
I'm sorry that I couldn't ask from everyone (because polaroid photo's film isn't cheap haha....thus I had limited stock..) but yes i really feel so much love from everyone <3

I'm also uber thankful to everyone's message to me on the 14th of February but I'll write about my V day in 2018 in my next post, as that day happens to be a day where I leave for my CNY trip as well :D See everyone again next week <3
