SO. I haven't done a proper post in really long and.... well... I think I'm really boring LOL. /hit
So anyway, KOC II in Tokyo (TRC) is coming soon!!! I hope my proxy will go to the event because some of my favourite circles are including novelties with their doujinshi. I'll probably mail-order instead for some of the circles though, because I can't afford the commission for so many circles ;v; I'll be getting an anthology through the event instead I think, because 100+ pages doujins somehow cost a lot more expensive when ordering from doujin sites. And I saw the novelty that the circle which organised(?) the anthology put up, for KOC II Osaka and it's so cute I want it ;_; I hope that KOC II will have that novelty too..
OHYES. And end of year Kuala Lumpur (KL) event Comic Fiesta! I'll be going to that event with a few of my friends. =w= wktk. First time going to an overseas convention. And first time going to KL lolol. I've only been to Penang, Johor Bahru and Malacca. Always wanted to go KL and see see.
The plans for that event will be Senbonzakura Meiko for Day 1 and Inu x Boku SS Ririchiyo for Day 2! Initially, my friend Mirai and her boyfriend planned to cosplay Senbonzakura Miku and Kaito, then when I asked Nanami about our cosplans, Nanami decided to cosplay with them so we ended up with a group cos fufu. But because we are tall people, we couldn't cosplay Rin/Len. (I still want to cosplay Senbonzakura Rin though, one day..) So we decided to cosplay Luka and Meiko, since they are tall characters hahaha! Now I want to cos Geisha Meiko... but the costume is so expensive and the wig is hard to find.. I might have to buy a normal long wig and style it myself orz. We are also planning a photoshoot for this~
As for the Inu x Boku SS cosplay, I'll be cosplaying with Nanami who will be doing Karuta.
Excited for Comic Fiesta and visiting KL! Malaysia's a scary place, but I've been to Malacca and JB... Like okay leh. But when I told my mum she was like telling me all the horror stories about crimes in Malaysia orz
Yesterday I also did a make-up costest for Ciel Phantomhive Robin version. I actually stuck on double false lashes wwww I put on one of Springheart's false lashes, then Diamond Lash half-lashes, and two different Dolly Wink bottom lashes wwwww It was quite uncomfortable lol. And I tried the gluestick method for concealing eyebrows. It's a pretty hard method to do properly. And I used so much concealor covering that damn thingggg!!
Oh, and seriously I think one can never get enough of makeup I'm just gonna go broke buying makeup zz =="
KATE released this new colour for their eyebrow mascara Eyebrow Colour In (?) and it's "skintone beige". I tried it out on my brow (yes because I have side fringe so it covers up like half of my face if I'm not careful. Kinda annoying. I don't know how anime characters do it) AND IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD. Well obviously you still get the eyebrow shape so I'll have to conceal it if I want to draw new brows... I'm actually pretty tempted to get my brows plucked and trimmed thinner the next time I get them done. =="
I also want to get some items from ettusais. Next time. And I also want to try this face powder selling in SASA. But it's so expensive it's $44.
Need to buy lenses too~~ (wait has this become a shopping list?!
OH YES. I've been watching FREE! and I think it's really a KyoAni anime to the end because it keeps making me laugh! Like Tamako Market (K-On not counted because it's adapted from a manga). And the guys are so good-looking and the art is actually really nice and also I realised on Friday that I'm actually older than high-school boys now so I'm like pedo-ing Makoto and Rin why. And I really like the ED
I know it's a really "over-hyped" anime and everyone's talking about it and it's like fujoshi fodder blabla but I'm watching it because I like swimming (I actually like watching shows with plot focusing around swimming esp competitive swimming) and it's KyoAni man! How can you not like KyoAni?! I'm actually looking forward to the animation for another of their CMs, Kyokai no Kanata. Ayakashi-themed leh! How can you not like. (Sigh, so many anime to watch. How do the Japanese keep up man. I'm like @A@ and I need to study ahh（悲鳴
Ah. Cannot. I really don't know how people manage to accomplish so much (actually I do. I should be slapped haiiz. I also want to learn butterfly. I never managed to master it because I couldn't get my basic form right. Maybe I should take up swimming lessons/refresher courses. I can only swim frogstyle properly www
Time to stop being so guzu, start being more productive!! A levels, cosplans, photoshoots (so that I can finally print coscard, and also I prefer photoshoot cosing now, unlike last time where I only considered cosplaying for events only, because last time I didn't know any photogs ahaha super anti-social. I digress), planning to draw more and blog more and sing more! (and hopefully dance!)
OH YA I actually forgot this.
I'll be making my K Fushimi Saruhiko SCEPTER 4 sabre from scratch (4 weeks to go!). I'm thinking of uploading progress shots, and maybe vague/rough explanations or directions on what I'm doing. But I'll be referring to various sword-making tutorials (AH AND I HAVE TO MAKE THE SHEATH TOO CRAP I keep forgetting about it. Does anywhere in Singapore sell sheaths. orz Because I really don't know how to make the sheath with the materials available in Singapore... need to hunt around more maybe uhu TT_TT)
Well yeah. There you have it. Excited to cosplay Fushimi and nervous because what if I can't look ikemen. I need to lost fat in my face. ==" Lose weight lose weight....
Righto! It's 1AM and I shall go to bed soon.

Hello~ today is another "feels" day lol. Today there was this K event "K - Who is the next" and I think there was some mook (magazine book) on early sale at the event and some people got hold of it and started tweeting bits and pieces of information from the mook. I woke up to excited tweets on my timeline from the Japanese pixiv artists I follow on Twitter LOL. I think the mook only goes on sale on 6 June, but I actually have no idea because the tweets I got this info from were also quite unsure of that.
Anyway, some tweets that were pretty popular were those of the profiles of the minor characters! (S4 and Homra) I will just translate/compile them here~
Scepter 4 profile (from Chiro's twitter: 1, 2)
秋山氷杜 (Akiyama Himori) ... Blood type A・25 y/o・175cm・Bday 20 Oct・Sabre's name: 垂氷(TARU HI)
弁財酉次郎 (Benzai Yuujirou) ... Blood type O・24 y/o・180cm・Bday 28 Dec・Sabre's name: 残照(ZAN SHOU)
加茂劉芳 (Kamo Ryuuho) ... Blood type A・26 y/o・183cm・Bday 26 Mar・Sabre's name: 虎徹(KO TETSU)
道明寺アンディ (Doumyouji Andy) ... Blood type AB・19y/o・182cm・Bday 4 Jun・Sabre's name: エクスカリバー (EKUSUKARIBAA / Excalibur)
榎本竜哉 (Enomoto Tatsuya) ... Blood type A・22y/o・173cm・Bday 30 Apr・Sabre's name: たつやのつるぎ(TATSUYA NO TSURUGI)
布施大輝 (Fuse Daiki) ... Blood type B・23 y/o・172cm・Bday 8 Nov・Sabre's name: ハガネ (HAGANE)
五島 蓮 (Gotou Ren) ... Blood type B・20y/o・183cm・Bday 12 Feb・Sabre's name: ポチ (POCHI)
日高 暁 (Hidaka Akira) ... Blood type O・22 y/o・187cm・Bday 12 Dec・Sabre's name: GSX (Great Slasher X)
Now let us take a break and let me comment on some of their sabre names.... *facepalms*
When I first found out Andy's sabre name, I was like "that is so Andy I don't even" LOLOL. And unexpectedly he's 19!! :O And everyone in Scepter 4 is so young woah, from Andy onwards, like "did you guys go straight from high school?! oioi at least go to university wwww". I first found out Andy's sabre name (but I already knew Enomoto's one from some info GoRa released like waaay back) and I was like "Andy's and Enomoto's names just take the cake man." And then I found out Hidaka's. Immediate reaction: HIDAKA YOU WIN. And Gotouuuu is your sabre a pet lol!
Oh, and yes Fushimi's sabre name was also revealed but in other tweets. We also know his other profile info from the K Trading CD where he and Misaki interviewed each other. Will compile them below:
伏見猿比古 (Fushimi Saruhiko) ... Blood type AB・19y/o・178cm・Bday 7 Nov・Sabre's name: 昴 (SUBARU)
(Sabre's name gotten from Nagura on Twitter)
Was quite surprised when I found out his sabre name... because it was kinda like I didn't expect Fushimi to properly give it a name, and Subaru is actually a pretty nice name. (Someone I follow on Twitter thinks that maybe Munakata named it instead, and hey that actually sounds plausible o_o)
I also saw this retweet on my TL and someone drew a height comparison chart for the Scepter 4 side characters. The height variance actually looks pretty funny when compared like that fufu.
Link to the tweet is here!
Oh yes, someone also compiled all the S4 members' sabre names here and it includes Munakuata's & Seri's. Munakata's was revealed the same time as Enomoto, and I think Seri's as well, but I can't really remember. So, Munakata's sabre's name is Sirius (天狼 TEN ROU), and Seri's is Kikyou (桔梗).
I also found out profile info for the rest of the members in HOMRA~ from Memoko's twitter. [Side note: I actually don't follow any of the accounts linked here. I discovered these tweets either from RT's or by searching Twitter.
赤城翔平 (Akagi Shouhei) ... 20 y/o・175cm・Tattoo: Left upper arm
坂東三郎太 (Bandou Saburouta /San-chan)... 20 y/o・182cm・Tattoo: On the navel/belly
千歳 洋 (Chitose You) ... 22 y/o・175cm・Tattoo: Left hip
出羽 将臣 (Dewa Masaomi) ... 22 y/o・176cm・Tattoo: Right flank (waist-area)
エリック・スルト (Eric Surt) ... 18 y/o・180cm・Tattoo: Left shoulder
藤島 幸助 (Fujishima Kousuke) ... 21 y/o・178cm・Tattoo: Right thigh
Their ages really shocked me. Yep. Well I guess Eric's age seems pretty normal, considering his background (parents died but he can't live on his own = still not adult /my logic). Chitose's tattoo is at a pretty nice place huh... LOL /slapped. But such a womaniser at age 22... That's really... I thought Chitose was at least older, like 24.... Seriously. He's like those university flirts who sleeps with almost every single girl on campus (lolwtf what kind of category is that).
But everyone is so young in Homra huh!
After this point is my BL shipping crap lol. Don't proceed if you have no interest.

まだ病気です...
Konbanwa mina-san~
Today I finally managed to buy stuff I've been wanting for super long (probably since the beginning of the year), from ASOS! I think many people know about ASOS already, right...? The thing most people know about that is probably their free standard shipping worldwide. So I just placed/sent my order this evening and I hope they arrive soon! :D Bought a pair of flats and 3 stockings/tights lol. Will do up another entry when they arrive, whee!
I'm also gonna talk about anime that are coming soon (summer anime)!
Ok, I just wanted an excuse to mention Brothers Conflict. Have I talked about it already?? No, I don't think so ahaha. Anyway, go check out the website for the game (by Otomate which makes it even more awesome) and the anime!
It's one of those games for people with weird interests (cough um lol) like a brother complex, or something because in this game you can choose to fall in love with one of your 13 brothers. And the youngest brother is 10 years old lol. (shota alert), and the oldest is 31 (but he's a doctor and he's actually pretty good-looking and even though he's a doctor he can't handle blood lol?!). OH and there's also a cross-dressing novelist brother.
My 3 favourite characters are: Louis/Rui (瑠生), a hair-stylist or beautician (I think more towards hairstyling). He seems pretty close to Ema's squirrel(called Julie/Juri which is voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi what on earth); and the identical(?) twins Azusa (梓) and Tsubaki (椿), professional seiyuus! According to the website profile, they apparently "sell"(?) in a package, which means when they voice-act for something both of them have to be hired together, I think. I know that they don't look identical at all, but it's mentioned in their profiles that they "come from the same egg" so yea that means they're identical twins right? OH, and actually to be more accurate, they are triplets with the 7th son Natsume (棗) who doesn't look a single bit similar!! (LOL)
Wanna play otome games but I'm really not the kinds to play games lol. I bought Really? Really! for DS once. I started it one day and. I haven't gone back to it (Eh well it's not an otome game but just sayin')
Summer is really such a good time~ All the new animes airing in JULY!
Actually it's just FREE! and Brothers Conflict I'm really interested in. But I think other summer animes coming out are AoHaRide (or Aoharu Ride) and Yankee-kun to Megane-chan (really love the manga and the mangaka's other works!). So 4 animes to look forward to! (With A levels at the end of the year... why do I feel like this is not going well..)
Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! is also coming out with an anime in July lol. That was pretty unexpected.
Alright, I shall end this post here. I'm still sick, and I don't wanna go to school tomorrow D; blah.

I won a giveaway for the first time in my life!!
I won Anibee's giveaway for the Swallowtail Butler Cafe Diary =w= uwaa so happy~ hahas I wasn't expecting to win actually. When I first joined the giveaway, it was about 30mins~1hour after the post was up on Facebook, and I thought there wouldn't be much response (but then at the end of the day.........) so I pretty much gave up hope of winning the giveaway after seeing the number of people who joined. But I won yay~ heehee so happy.
I wanna go Swallowtail Cafe when I get the chance to go Japan (by myself or with some like-minded friends). I sound so sadlife sia omg, go overseas holiday by myself lol. Plus it's dangerous. Hahaha, but even if have friends want to go, also have to consider other limitations like for example their parents' restrictions, money, dates etc etc. Ahh so sad. I wanna go to NatsuCOMI, or maybe a smaller event. Maybe ONLY events as well hahaha if I get the chance to go during those dates.
Anyway this is the diary!
It's super pretty! The box was wrapped in a plastic sheet, and in the box is the diary. I'm not sure what kind of material the diary cover is made of, but it felt really nice to the touch and the design is carved into the cover. It's a diary for the year 2013 though.... lol. And we're already halfway into 2013, which is a bit awkward.
Last week (Friday ~ Tuesday) Kinokuniya had a 20% discount for members to commemorate World Book Day. Of course, I couldn't miss out the chance to grab stuff like artbooks (crazy expensive when brought into Singapore) and some magazines. I broke my spending record though.....*cough* The only place I would spend so much of my own money is at Kinokuniya lol.
Anyway, the lootss~
I bought CosMode this month as well (after looking at the cover and deciding that what's inside is going to be useful). I love CosMode because they provide costume patterns with their magazines heehee. This month's had KARNEVAL's Tsukumo's costume (a top & skirt) pattern in it. And I also got a MOOK called CameCOS (Pronounced kah-meh-cos), which is a smush of camera and cosplay. It's a guidebook for cosplay photography and includes studio information (which is useless here, lesigh). For me, there wasn't much new information for me because. Well. This mook (I believe) is for people who don't know photography... So. Yeah. Well, I did learn a little about lights (which I've little experience with) I suppose.
I bought 2 artbooks: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (I'm not gonna bother with their random uppercasing) Productions 2 and Starry Sky Vol. 2. STARRY SKY~ STARRY SKY! *throws flowers everywhere* I love Kazuaki's art style~ And Starry Sky was the first otome game I learnt about. There's gonna be a Vol. 3 apparently, so I'm just gonna wait for Kino to bring it in.
Aside from those, I also got vol 1 of Tooyama Ema's GDGD-DOGS. I bought Vol 2 around last year I think, because Vol 1 was out of stock. I love her style and her stories as well heehee. Currently following Watashi ni xx Shinasai! intensely. I bought vol 1 & 2 in Chinese I think, and I also got Vol 1 in Japanese lol. Eh. Wait, I think I have more volumes than that, but I can't remember which language I bought them in.
Also bought KERA JUNE (KERA releases super early sia) since it was out already.
K SIDE BLACK & WHITE wasn't in on Monday when I went, unfortunately. I'm gonna drop by later and see if the stock is in.
Ohyes, Smoothie King opened at 313@Somerset the previous Tuesday and I got the chance to finally try it out on Monday, after a satisfying shopping try at Kino (Oh, and Laduree is hell expensive. Someone, get my macaroons for my birthday TT_TT [fat hope]). I went Kino with Nanami and 2 of her friends from school and after that we went Smoothie King.
I got myself a regular Lemon Twist Strawberry. I think it's good. Not bad. Really nice hahas. My sister says that there's no way one can get full on a smoothie, but I do think that it's filling. I'm not the only one who thinks that way, apparently, because Nanami commented that if she had gotten a regular with her wrap, she wouldn't be able to finish her food. Mirai also said their smoothie was filling.
I really enjoyed Smoothie King that day, that on Wednesday, after my lessons, I dropped by again to have a wrap and smoothie. I also like the layout of the place. It seems like a nice place to sit and chill and maybe draw. I always have this like. Want? to draw at cafes like Starbucks. I got a teriyaki chicken wrap and a Jeju Green Tea smoothie~ The wrap was really yummy~
Time really flies... It's almost May soon. Aaaahhh A levels are coming ohmygosh how. And event events events ahhh I need to order my stuff from Taobao by end-June and start on my props and omg ahhhh (crazy woman having panic attack now)
I still need to practise guy makeup orz Must look ikemen. (Because I'm gonna cos Saruuuu)
Oh, and the swimming anime CM that took Tumblr by storm. IT'S OFFICIAL. So eggcited for it omgomgomg. And Miyano Mamoru is voicing a character for this animeeee (called FREE!). He's voicing the character Matsuoka Rin 松岡 凛. It's gonna start airing in July. Sigh, this year is a shitty year to take major exams in. SIGH. *regrets all the life decisions she has ever made*
Shall end here. See you guys next time!
