AFASG DAY3 + loots XD

Can't believe one week has passed since AFASG >< time really pass faster when you have a lot to do XD and of course when you had fun!!

Beear-ear V part 2!!!

Ok, these pictures aren't related to AFASG at all HAHA or are there any?
Barbatos and Bear-guy appeared in AFASG, and V went to AFASG 😂😂😂
Anyway, apparently there was Bandai event somewhere in SG on early November~
I believe it's the same Barbatos and Bear-guy that I met before ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 and I believe they brought the same ones over to AFASG XD didn't take any pictures since they were in the photographers area, too crowded XD

Alright, back to AFASG2016~!

DAY3 as Mumei from Kabaneri, 2016 waifu <3
Picture credit to Cseexe <3

First stop of the day (again), talk show by Sebastian Masuda

V -> legal (?) disgusting stalker ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂 
but he doesn't come to Singapore often so why not ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂

Unicorn!! I mean Deadpool!! XD

Omo discovered BaoHan~!

I honestly almost never see any guest cosplayer this time; too much happening ðŸ˜‚😂😂
But that's what makes AFASG always good for me; it's an event where I meet friends meet Japanese role models meet new people watch shows shopping watch events EVERYTHINGGGGGG
Not that it's easy to multi-task though ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂 I kept on asking my friend for time-check ðŸ˜‚😂😂


My favorite girls from Love Live Sunshine!!!

Not sure why but all my lovelies from LLS are only the 3 first-years <3

Met D.L. ImageWorkz!! Omo been 2 years XD

Met another Mumei!! <3 so cute <3

Met my photographers OTP (?) XD Shutter_Fingers & Code:NutZ XD
Hopefully we can meet again next year but not till AFASG ðŸ˜‚😂😂

Sebastian-san!! V so shameless /////

That day I joined the group photoshoot ><!!! The day before I shy so I ran away from group shoot ;w;

Where is V!!!!

This twit was re-tweeted by Sebastian-san, written by his manager, Mika-san~! It says "commemoration pictures of Sebastian Masuda's talk show and in front of TIME AFTER TIME CAPSULE. As we'll be showing the footage next time at NHKworld's Kawaii International show, please look forward to it"

I thought I lost this picture but apparently it's with me!! XD

The Domo-kun is used as Time Capsule~! I pulled (?) the Medan group to write with me XD

Met Andy-san!! Thanks for finding me!! <3

When you bumped into Elsa, it means that it's time to Let it go (?) 😂

Jojooooooooo

Yayy! Irfan from Jakarta!! >w< AFASG2016 marked our first year of knowing each other~
hope to see you soon in Jakarta XD

Oota taxi serviceeeeee

Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge is one of my all-time favorite anime this year XD I'm also reading the manga!!
I wish I have Oota as boyfriend, but I think Tanaka will be fighting with me so as my onii-chan will do too XD

Senpai (am i even eligible to call her Senpai ;w;) Lenneth so prettehhh
/nervous-V-part2

HAHAHHA starved again on DAY3 due to schedule ><

Thank you for finding me!! XD we happened to be dining at the same area HAHA

Kashu!! <3 

I feel like crossing for Touran OwO...

Yoppi-san!!!

I actually saw him going up the escalator and walked to the event hall when I just reached the venue but I was half-way wearing my costume (to be exact Mumei's leg accessories 😂😂😂) so I couldn't catch him 😂😂😂
But this time, it was also very sudden as he just walked pass me in front of my eyes and my heart was screaming IT'S NOW OR NEVER so I'm forever thankful for this picture 😂😂😂
Year 2016 has been awesome as I got to meet so many of my idols ;w;

When people ask me difference between events in Indonesia and events in Singapore (especially AFA since it's held in both places OwO), I'd always reply that in Singapore, people ask for your picture while in Indonesia, people ask for picture with you.
This year, I realized something else..
AFASG2016 DAY3 was wayyyy crowded than DAY2 while during AFAID2016, the crowd was in DAY2 with nothing left on DAY3 XD

I meant it since I missed my chance to shop for merchandises and doujin-works in AFAID2016 cause i had the thought of 'let's just buy on DAY3 when stuff goes on sale' but instead nothing was left 😂😂😂😂😂😂
AFASG is indeed bigger than AFAID, thus more stock on stuff but I think there's a very big reason why DAY3 was uber crowded

Ok Apple Pineapple Guy was the last act of the day, in the exhibition area ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂

He came at 6.30, but the Anisong concert was to begin at 7..
Definitely everyone in the venue were there, but I was the only one heading out that one of the AFA staff said 'you look like running away because of that song' ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂

Okie, here's a picture before I write (another) essay about my Anisong concert experience XD

Picture by TH Photography <3

I realized that I forgot to write about the concert on DAY2 ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂
It was my first time watching everyone!!

Konomi Suzuki was cute, singing my favorite song from No Game No Life, Last Game <3

I honestly wasn't aware of Wake Up, Girls! before >< but apparently they sang one of my favorite songs, Bokura no Frontier from Shakunetsu no TakkyÅ« Musume! So many sports anime this season XD (even though time is flowing so fast that this season's anime are ending ;w;)

Then, it was time for one of my Anisong artist rolemodel, Minori Chihara!!! *kyaa confetti claps bomb (?)*
She started with my favorite song, Paradise Lost *.* then she sang songs from Haruhi Suzumiya series and Kyoukai no Kanata!!!
I do watch concerts for self-entertainment but at the same time, I'm doing observation and learning! Because what was on stage is my dream <3

Minori Chihara was definitely one of the reasons I decided to go for 3DaysVIPticket (to be exact each night has an artist that I wanna watch >///<) but the next act was also another that I was really looking forward to, JAM PROJECT!!!
They came to Singapore 2 years ago, when I was in Singapore but I couldn't catch their live, due to my own life..😂😂😂😂 in other words I just couldn't watch due to my schedule ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂
So no matter what I must watch them this time!!
They sang songs I love from Garo and their latest song, THE BRAVE.
As expected, they also sang the song everyone has been waiting for HERO, from One Punch Man.

I'm honestly not a big fan of that song (no offence, not that it's no good but personal preference wise not my favorite ><) but when they perform that song, I was stunned.
The only thing that came to my head was "Yesterday (DAY1), I almost cried (when I watched TMR) but today, I cried"
I'm not comparing the two performers but I was touched by how the audience react. How a song united the audience, making everyone screaming and shouting. How JAM PROJECT made everyone looked forward so much to that song ;w; definitely I wanna be like them, I wanna write such song that touches everyone, that makes everyone excited high expectant so yes, their performance makes me craving and hungry, knowing that there's so much for me to learn! ><

Thanks Yahoo Singapore ðŸ˜‚😂😂

Definitely should not forget to write about DAY3's concert ðŸ˜‚😂😂
Chico with HoneyWorks was great as opening act! XD I got to hear my favorites; Sekai wa koi ni ochiteiru and Pride Kakumei <3 they also sang songs from their self-made movie, Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita <3
Among the 5 performers, it was my first time watching Ami Wajima & Alisa Takigawa for the first time! it's always so exciting to watch lives for the first time! Ami Wajima sang Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai and Alisa Takigawa sang a part of Sailor Moon's Moonlight Densetsu as bonus XD

Second time watching (more to hearing though, since she didn't reveal her face at all ><) the melodious Aimer!! One of my singing voice goal <3 she also sang the song which has collaboration with Taka from One OK Rock, insane dream <3 
my most favorite song by Aimer is actually Anata ni Deawanakereba ~Natsuyuki Fuyuhana~ but it wasn't in her setlist ðŸ˜‚😂 but still i wish i can watch her live again <3

Last act, who I've been waiting for the most, May'N!! <3 third time watching her actually, but still looked forward to her so much and of course very satisfied <3
As expected, she sang Diamond Creavase and Lion, as i think 3 times I watched her live, 3 times she sang those two XD but yes, no one can take away Sheryl Nome from May'N <3 plus the two are my all-time favorite songs <3
I actually attended her short appearance in the exhibition hall. She sang another song from Macross Frontier, Iteza gogo kuji don't be late <3
I always love May'N's powerful performance (yes definitely another goal <3) and of course her voice!

Alright, I've talked about who I met who I was chasing what I watched who I cosplayed as and it's time for..What I got XD

Coscards <3 FYI I always keep Coscards <3

I take Coscards very seriously; they are name cards for business purpose :>
Then Chocolate from my favorite brand, ROYCE *o* thank you <3 <3

I won signed poster via balloting XD

For DAY3 I actually entered for May'N but I didn't win ðŸ˜‚😂 instead I got free picture of myself, thank you Canon booth ðŸ˜‚😂
3 light-sticks, free gift for VIPticket owners (yes I didn't use them ><) 

Angie's photobook and YingTze's calendar!! Plus AI's necklace XD Loots from AFA official booth~

YingTze's calendar was sold out during AFAID, so I'm so happy that I got it this time >///<
I always love Cosplay compilation photo book, thus I bought my idol's, Angie's :D
AI is (FYI) my fave character from Utapri XD

Doujin shoppinggggggggg

Yeah, my regret from AFAID is gone ðŸ˜‚😂 truly went YOLO ðŸ˜‚😂

Magic Wand~ ok, very random, I'm not in Harry Potter fandom :x

I brought home a lot of memory, love and stuff back to Medan XD

Pokemon decoration in Changi Airport

Pikachu too high that my eyes are gone ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂😂

This Christmas tree so cute <3

Alright, this post definitely a lot of words ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂😂
I thought this would be my last post for 2016 here but then I decided not XD

So.. it's already December! Can you hear the bells ringing! Not just wedding bells but bells from Santa's sleigh (too fast? xD)

I've got an announcement to make!
I have 4 plans ready for December, as a Christmas gift to everyone!
1. to be announced on 6th December (Tuesday)
2. to be announced later this week (*spoiler* this is a collaboration!!)
3. I still need to estimate the duration I need for this plan ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂😂
4. even later XD

Don't say I don't give spoiler XD
In other words, please stay tune to my page as well as my Instagram <3
And last but not least, thanks for reading <3

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' ðŸ˜‚😂😂😂😂)
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
