AFASG 2016 + bonus?xD

Thank you for the comments on my previous post <3 happy V is happy XD
So, here comes the biggest highlight of year 2016? The event I've been waiting for one year, AFASG 2016 XD

AFASG holds a special place in my heart as it's the first anime convention in my life, back in 2012, when I started studying in SG

Reika is the very first cosplayer I know >w< 

It is also the place where I first started cosplaying, back in 2013. Moreover, the place where I had first worldwide recognition for my singing, my first very big step of wanting to be a singer, back in 2014 (I wrote a little about this in my previous post here :D)

AFASG 2016 was held from 25th to 27th November~! I went Singapore on 24th, Thursday!

Day look versus Night look XD

Day makeup is veryyyy light makeup; no contact lens, no eyeliner because sleep > makeup time for me 😂😂😂😂
While Night makeup, it's not that I always put on such makeup on usual days though.. I just put on thicker eyeliner because I had a shoot in the evening~!

Hey pudding <3

Had a Harleen Quinzel theme shoot with Marcus! It has been a while since I last worked with him (to be exact 2 years have passed :x) and we both love Harley Quinn very much!!
Actually, we planned a Suicide Squad movie version of Harley Quinn shoot sometime ago but I needed to cancel it >.< but I'm so glad that I got to do Harleen Quinzel!! <3

Treat after shoot XD since the shoot was in the evening~!

Then it's time for the (real?) deal; 25th November2016, FRIDAY (TGIF XD)

Yes I ended up putting extra effort on the other eye XD guess I didn't sleep enough (?)

I started my AFASG journey with cosplaying as oneechan; Ram <3
Quite expected? but Rem was everywhere and only 2 Rams found, including me :B

First stop; NHK JAPAN BOOTH

NHK JAPAN brought one of my role models from Japan; Sebastian Masuda
Sebastian Masuda is doing worldwide project named Time After Time Capsule!
We are to write a letter to our future self (20 years in the future to be exact~!) and put everything into a Domo-kun!
We were supposed to cutely wrap our letter with plastic....ok that day my cuteness switch like not there 😂😂😂😂
But yes, this was my very first stop~! Sebastian Masuda wasn't around that day but it simply means I'd come back to the booth the next days (disgusting stalker alert ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂)

Met Emilia-sama XD

One thing I love about conventions and events is of course, meeting new people <3 mainly cosplayers this time, and photography hobbyist :D <3

Been a while since we last met <3

A friend that I first met back in June, during Funan Anime Matsuri, which was held by the same organizer as AFASG XD <3

Handsome oji-san <3

Of course AFASG, being like the biggest event for the year, has let me meetup with a lot of friends that I haven't met for quite sometime!! <3

Cute Asahi!! <3

Yuui was my Shiro when I was Neko during FAM and this time she is tiger boy XD

It's expected that first day of AFASG won't be so crowded and lesser cosplayer, more to visitors who come for buying stuff (including me I bought quite a lot this time 'x')
But nevertheless, I enjoyed that day, as I got to recce the area XD

Met up with Serlver Pixels <3

edited eye version by Johanesbp

I was fully prepared!!! ...ok I'm not sure how to say this but I bought 3 days early-bird VIP tickets, so I got to enjoy 3 nights of Anisong concert!! <3

No photography during the real show so this is just as a memory :D

The artists for DAY1 were KOTOKO, Home Made Kazoku and the MVP for me, T.M. Revolution!!!! <3

It was my very first time watching KOTOKO and Home Made Kazoku~
KOTOKO performed a lot of nostalgic songs <3 love her songs, especially the opening theme of Onegai Teacher, Shooting Star <3
Home Made Kazoku's performance was of course awesome, because it's quite rare to enjoy a more rapping hip-hop style of Anisong performance >///< and yes I respect Japanese rappers a lot, since I can't sing hiphop or rap, my tongue get tied easily ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂

And what I was looking forward to the most; T.M. Revolution!!!
I actually went to his very first live in Singapore back then in 2012 (yes I enjoyed first Anisong performance during AFASG 2012 too >////<)
Honestly back then, I wasn't so familiar with Anisong, but I already know T.M. Revolution since he had relation with Visual Kei xD
Can say that my very first time watching him was quite a waste, since I only knew one song from him (Hot Limit lol) I don't even think it's an anime song :x so I think he didn't even perform that song ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂
But this time, I really know all the songs he sang (ok except the first song he sang ;;;)
He sang Invoke Ignite (shame on me I still can't differentiate the two </3) somethingIheardbeforebutdon'trememberthetitle Vestige (omg my favorite) and of course Heart of Sword
But not only that, he sang 2 of my most favorite songs, that I didn't expect him to sing at all; Preserved Rose (shockingly followed by) Kakumei Dualism!!!!!
As the two songs were collaboration songs with Nana Mizuki, i thought definitely no chance to hear those songs but omg ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 I almost cried that day

But of course, that was only the first day. NEXT XD

China girlllll <3 Kagura from Gintama Yorozuya forever movie <3

Reusing wig from other character (cough)

YES FIRST STOP OF THE DAY ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂😂

At last I met Sebastian-san!!!! I look damn nervous ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 well yeah I was anyway :x
I also wrote another letter that day actually ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂 V so shameless </3

That was just one of the 2 things I aimed for that day :D next one was...

At last I enjoyed stage event XD

Again, no photography was allowed during the 'real' show (this was before the MCs introduced the guest, and before the MCs announced 'no recording allowed😂😂😂😂😂)
One of the MCs is my idol though XD Hisanori Yoshida-san! One of my favorite radio announcer!!
But nope, I wasn't there just for him ðŸ˜‚😂😂

I was there to enjoy the stage event of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu feat. Okamoto Nobuhiko!! <3
Of course I love Ansatsu Kyoushitsu but more than that (?) Nobu-san is one of my favorite seiyuus!! <3
(AFASG made me fangirl so much lol ///)
I do love Karma but my favorite character by Nobu-san is of course from the series I always talk about; Mikorin from Gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun <3
Wanted to join the reserved gathering (80 first comers kind of thing) but that ticket was sold out TwT...

But may be if I joined that, I'd lose a lot of chances to meet my friends though XD

First time meeting Chung-san!!
He has been supporting my page so I gotta pass him calendar >///<
Thank you once again <3

Medan team!! XD Ok, Kagura from China (?)

When everyone left before proper wefie ;w; awesome FATE team anyway XD

Mei!! >w< one of my very first friends when I started Cosplaying!! <3
Uber cute Rem <3

Kira from PetiteEtoile!! <3
This year too, he has been helping me as I put my luggage at his photo corner >..<

Wendy, whose home is like my store room ðŸ˜‚😂 sorry no offence but it's true~
A lot of my props (like Mumei's gear and my katana </3) are at his place since I can't bring them back to Medan /cries

Kagura is one character that he has been looking forward most, since I kept this costume his place for almost half year then I got the chance to bring it home (only when I needed to costest it before AFASG ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 other times my luggage too full with other stuff ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂)
He has also been roaming around with me for 3 days (how to carry backpack when cosplaying /cries)
His legs dieded on third day ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 once again kudos!!!!

I did mean it when I wrote I shopped a lot ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂
Cup noodle so I still have enough for DAY3 (?)

Nah just kidding, I just didn't want to be late for the concert so cup noodle is great fast food ðŸ˜‚😂
(please don't do this at home (?) make sure you eat proper meal enough sleep proper rest during events and when cosplaying ok ...)

One of my favorite photos by TH Photography <3

Another photo by KH Lau <3

That's all for the two days, since pictures of my loots will come on the next post but I wrote 'bonus' in the title? :D

Beear-ear V!! XD

I had a secret trip to Singapore early November
What I meant by secret is no one knew, plus extra short trip 3 days 2 nights
Only 4 people knew ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂??
The trip was really sudden plus because of personal matter, thus I wasn't able to talk about it as well (I'm not even going to reveal the date ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂)

Impromptu visit!!!

Thank you Steve for accepting my.. unusual demand? ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂
Steve did say that it's unusual for him to style this kind of hairstyle but I really liked it!!! >< since I never tied like that either ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 but so cute >////<


No, I'm not a fan of Science, except Physics ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂
But I was there as they had special Marvel exhibition!!

V is a Marvel weeb ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂

The exhibition was focusing on the Avengers~
At least I know what is Avengers since I watched the Civil War movie ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂

Some pictures of what's inside~

The scenario is we are being recruited as member of Avengers (V is ready to safe the town!?)
To enjoy the exhibition, visitors are to download a special mobile app (there's free wifi in the area!!!) or we can borrow iTouch from the Science Centre!
There are games and interactive activities and of course, a great place to understand the history of Avengers members and there are replicas of their costumes! Good place for me who is pretty much pointless of the members XD

As the trip was truly short, I only went to that exhibition and nowhere else ðŸ˜‚😂😂
I did plan for a shoot but it was cancelled due to the weather ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂

A blur picture of a blur V to end this post (?)

DAY3 post coming up! XD

Halloween (Oct) - Pre:AFA (Nov)

Haii~! Another one month has passed since my last blog post -w- (last post was 26 October HAHA)
So what triggered me (?) to write a post is..my latest Singapore trip to AFASG 2016 ^o^/*
It didn't really feel like I went Singapore since I went to nowhere else but Airport-Hotel-Suntec-Hotel-Suntec-Hotel-Suntec-Hotel-Airport for 3 days xD
But anyway, this post is an update of the one month before AFA (thus Pre:AFA xD)!!

Halloween makeup, 29th October~!

I've never really join a real Halloween event before (ok, despite liking vampire, goth, black, skulls, i'm bad with horror stuff 😂😂😂😂) but I went to a small Halloween event last month~
My makeup was similar with the one I did for my Edward Scissorhands cosplay, only lighter lip color :D


Inspired by..Kuroshitsuji (Victorian style? ruffles and bow and suspender~ plus monochrome) and Alice in Wonderland's rabbit :D thus the pocket watch and novel xD
Rabbit is my first favorite animal, but I'm lethargic lately that I feel like more to being a cat xD

My Halloween date~! <3

We wanted to do Kuroneko (black cat) and Kurousa (black rabbit) twin coordinate but I forgot to bring cat ears </3 forgive this no good senpai hahahha ;w;

Ah, I did cosplay for a Halloween gathering before but..I really didn't feel like cosplaying that time >.<
Whenever someone ask me 'what is Cosplay', I always reply with 'Costume Play but it's unlike Halloween'
I don't mean Cosplaying is no good for Halloween since there is similarity between the two but..I don't know, I find Cosplaying is something more than wearing costume for fun >.< plus Cosplay is also something like 'I can do it whenever I want' (a lot of events and shoots for me :x) so I don't think wearing cosplay during Halloween is something special >.< that's why I prefer to wear themed coordinate and play with makeup~!
Totally personal point of view, no hard feeling :D

12th November~

I went to a local event to support my lovelies (NoBrand and Moe Jidai)....
There was supposed to be mini cosplay competition but it was cancelled..
The dance performances weren't supposed to be cancelled but due to irresponsible organisers...
Anyway, since it was supposed to be a surprise visit (only one of them know I'm coming since I need to know when they are performing haha :x), I decided to wear Otonokizaka School uniform, as random student supporting Î¼'s xD

I guess one of the reasons why the competition was cancelled is...there was a sudden event announced for the next day (Sunday..yes, SUDDEN, announced 3 days before the real event :x)

I ended up asking for votes, which Î¼'s girl should I cosplay as xD

I had a hunch that a lot of people won't read the caption properly, since I only plan to wear the school uniform ;w;
So Kayochin won by a lotttt of votes :x 


Ended up I only had one selfie xD ok, one more uploaded before xD

One of my friends, whose waifu from Î¼'s is Pana xD

It was a small event with big crowd (since it's in a mall and small space plus weekend HAHA) thus my main aim was more to meet up with friends :D

Yayy <3

Ah, here's a full-body picture xD

Joker-san (?) requested me to sing You Don't Own Me butttt I'm so sorry I haven't got the time ;w; but I promise I'll do it ><

Another DIY~

Unicorn is also my favorite :D :D :D
Some people already figured out which cosplay it's for xD

Haii~ unicorn imouto :D

Ok, might get killed by Rem's fans 😂😂😂😂😂

Shoot for demon-version of Rem <3

The area was...scary 😂😂😂😂
I don't mean it's in nowhere or dark or high but....so many mosquito 😂😂😂😂😂 Like of the very few shoots that I wished to end asap 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess partly is because of rainy season (urgh i had a shoot cancelled due to this reason ;w;) but the mosquito was..unbelievable ;A; they bite through my stockinggggg
Lucky for me my upcoming cosplans don't need me to show my legs ;w; (yes i do get bitten </3)

Haii, when you accidentally pressed 'capture' button while walking -w-
(it's unglam so i put it smaller xD)

The spoiler? teaser post xD

I wonder if anyone get this caption ><
Probably big fan of gekkan shoujo will? ;w;

Chiyo after a year of not <3 <3 still forever my favorite heroine

I visited my regular facial doctor for monthly facial! 

With my pretty Dr. Yenny <3

I did a short endorsement video about my years of experience under Dr. Yenny's care!
Check it out :D :D

Uber big so that everyone can read it? xD

Had an interview done by local newspaper, talking about makeup :D
The Morgiana (top red head ;D) and Junko (below Morgiana, pink hair) are examples of 'not so good' makeup for me, since my eyes don't stand out enough on those two (my eyes gone in the Morgiana pic ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂) plus those pictures came from the time when I haven't attend makeup course ><
So I hope they are good comparisons :D


Another article by Tri, SimCard Company!

Another sudden event in November xD

On 12th November (when I went to find NoBrand~), I was scouted as a talent for an application named Kwai. Kwai is an application that combines Snapchat and Instagram, which means it's for uploading photo and video anytime you want! My favorite in Kwai is inbuilt photo-slideshow feature :D
Make sure you download Kwai and follow V Kanon xD


Kwai's person in charge happened to be in charge with Tri as well. Thus, to spread awareness of the two products, Kwai & Tri decided to do a mini Cosplay event with me as special guest :>

`
Second attempt of Neko~!! (ProjectK season 2 version xD)

Lately I do feel the 'girls have so many clothes, until they need to go out' 'what to wear (while looking at wardrobe with overflowing clothes)' but Cosplay edition 😂😂😂😂
I guess need to arrange my wardrobe soon, to check which costume I haven't wear for quite sometime >< (but what is space hahahha ;w;)

Explanation of how to use Kwai and introduction of judges for Cosplay competition

Truly mini event (well, mini as the main reason is it was sudden ;;; announced 5 days before the real event HAHA ;;;)
But I'm so glad to have my friends came to support ><

My favorite Rize (my fave character from Tokyo Ghoul) and Sinz who always come to support me >w<

My favorite Hinata <3 when will I realize my Naruto cosplan 😂😂😂

My pretty dear MC, who've helped me so much!!! <3

Random updates xD 

I very rarely play games (like I can count the number of digital games I've played in my life) but this is one of my favorites; Puzzle and Dragon!!! <3
I can't play the mobile version (no Japan Apple Store account ;w;) but the DS version is quite satisfying (though I miss the special events and collaboration characters that I can get in the mobile app ;w;)


Out of the 3 books by Lang Leav that I have (the only one I don't have is Memories ><), Lullabies is my favorite <3
Lullabies is her latest work, and I find most relevant poetry in this work (I wonder if it's because V loves to sleep xD)
I hope I can meet her one day, to say thank you for writing beautiful pieces <3

Sport Fest? Lorem Ipsum? xD

Made props with my partners for another shoot, the last shoot before leaving to Singapore :D

Haii~ XX gakuen no XX-gumi no Kanon-desu <3

Kanon from school XX class XX xD

When you are excited but your partner is cool (?) xD

I love her dances check it out everyone <3

(or may be not 'human' anymore 😂😂😂)

We made the (faux) notice board, for school setting XD

The one month wasn't definitely my busiest month but I guess it's good, since I gotta conserve my energy for 3-full-days of AFASG2016 xD
But I'm so glad for the chances to meet my friends, photoshoot and of course, cosplay <3!

Oh, last but not least, updates on pictures that have been uploaded!


(a bit late for Halloween but) Edward Scissorhands :D

Look forward to my next post about AFASG :D
