C2AGE 2012!

Well this is certainly a long overdue! *Queen of backlog orz.*

*Note: Didn't take ANY pictures at all as i forgot to charge my phone and it was sorta dying so i wanted to save it so i can call my parents after the event. >__<" So sorry for that! 

So as usual, C2AGE was held in between my mid terms... From 18 May - 20 May (Friday - Sunday). YES! C2AGE has managed to extend their usual event duration from 2 days to 3 days woohoo! But sadly, i only attended day 2 on Saturday as i was having exams on Friday and it continues on Monday so i have to skip say 3 on Sunday to study sighs. :/

Cosplayed as Kaname Madoka school uniform version with my twinneh Joanne as usual! She was Akemi Homura/ Moemura / Meganemura. :3

Dawwwwwww! Ain't she cute. >w<

I actually forgot about the ribbons until Saturday morning when i logged onto Facebook and saw someone posting this picture above lol ^. And i was like OH YEAH SHIT!

Woke up around 10.30am and went for breakfast with my parents. Actually they didn't know i was going for an ACG event oops. :x  They definitely won't allow me to go as it was in between exams! So i ahd to lie. D: They dropped me at school and i took a nearby LRT to Kelana Jaya and took the shuttle bus which was packed with cosplayers and photographers to Tropicana City Mall!

Reached around 11.30am and waited for twinneh who came at 12pm. Got changed at makeup-ed. C2AGe has this new storage facility for cosplayers or whoever who wants to store their stuffs or bags at a safe and protected area FOC! Thumbs up for that! (Y) Nao i don't have to worry that my bag will go missing! So we stored our bags and went off to the event area!

They weren't enough people there yet to consider as 'packed' but the amount was good enough for an event. Not too packed yet not too empty lol. We did our usual rounds and posed for pictures as well as browsing through the doujin booths. Nothing attracted us as they all seem kinda mehh lol.

On the way, we did bumped into some friends and all! Really nice meeting up with them again! C:

We had our lunch at Daily Fresh! PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE WAFFLES! With Iced Lemon Tea. Twinneh paid for me and didn't want me to pay her back. My turn next time ah! xD

After lunch, we circled the event area again and finally, Rae our Kyoko arrived! She was cosplaying as Kyoko's everyday wear version.

The one in green! 

She had the luxury of munching Pocky all the way! Guhhh i jelly! ;___; But she was wearing heeled boots and wasn't used to walking in them. So we had to constantly rest as her legs aches. After some time she decided to change out as she couldn't tahan any longer. :C 

Twinneh and i did more rounds, stopped and watch the cosplay competition going on which ended 5 mins after we were there lol and some band performance. Snapped more pics too! :D 

At around 4.30pm, i had to go change out. And twinneh has to go for a meet up with her Twitter buddies! So we went our separate ways after that. I took a cab with Chris whom i bumped into at Starbucks to Taman Bahagia's LRT station, we both went our separate ways and  managed to reach my destination soon enough while waiting for my parents to pick me up. Luckily they didn't noticed a thing haha. :P 

Since i didn't take ANY pics at all, shall steal them from some tagged photos on Facebook! With credits of course. 

 YAAY! Almost complete Puella Magi team! :3

I'm quite satisfied with my cosplay this time. The only thing i'm unhappy about is that i didn't use more dramatic false lashes. Hence, making my eyes look sorta small with Madoka's pink wig. :/ To add on with that, Madoka is quite a happy character in the beginning, so it means i have to smile more and i naturally squint when i smile widely or happily making my eyes EVEN smaller wtf. Next time cannot smile too much adi. Must smile moderately!

Use your most SIAO lashes next time! - Joanne.

 Other than that, i need to work out on making my legs smaller. :/ I'm born with big and thick bones, making my thighs bigger than it already is fml.

Onto rushing for my AFA cosplay plans! Will reveal them soon.

Excuses and Penang.

YES i have plenty, for not blogging awhile.

Pfft, as if there's people who read my blog!

And my most valid reason is because of my midterm exams!

It's not me! My parents restricted my computer usage to only during night time and on weekends or holidays. -__- which literally equals to zero computer time. Cause at night i'll prolly be busy doing my work or sleeping early due to tiredness. Weekends? Meh! I'll use them to relax instead, and probably do my tuition work.

LOL i sound like a nerd. But truth is, my time is fully occupied and i barely have time to breathe.

But since it's the holidays nao! Two weeks in fact! And with one week gone doing pretty much nothing but slacking (and my Penang trip!), i plan to fully use my other week doing some productive things! Like maybe study for real? I'm quite sure my midterm results will be pretty much fucked up so i guess i'll be (sorta) ready for all the shit results being thrown on my face woohoo. -.-

That aside, i have plenty of things that i have listed to blog about, for instance:

- C2AGE. (OH GAWD backlog. :/)
- Cheapo make up haul.
- Not so cheapo make up haul.
- Cafe review. (Yaaaay!)
- AFAMY cosplay plan. (OH SHIT AFAMY!)
- Prolly some WIPs post about some props and accessories.(SHIT HAVEN'T START.)

Hmm guess that's all! Now onto my short and simple Penang trip!

So dad decided to go on a short 3 days 2 nights trip to Penang or Pulau Pinang. Since us being fail and unpatriotic Malaysians have NEVER EVER been there. (well actually only my sis and i, dad and mom went there before but they pretty much forgot everything so yeah, fail too. :P )

The ride from KL to Penang took around 3 hours, surprisingly short cause i've heard most people taking about 5 hours to reach. And maybe because we only stopped for toilet break once for only like 15 minutes lol. When we reached and drove across the Penang bridge from the mainland to the island, sis and i was like ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the sea! Both of us loves anywhere with sea and beaches. :D

Crossing le bridge with dark clouds above us. It was about to rain heavily when i shot this.

Our hotel, Holiday Inn is located at Batu Feringghi (where the Tsunami strike. D:), which is away from the city area and nearer to the beach. Bad choice. It was blazing hot when we were there and we barely went down to the beach. Instead we went to the city area more lol.

Gosh, i guarantee you one trip to Penang can make you put on weight! All the delicious hawker food like Fried Kuey Teow, Hokkien Prawn Mee, Fried Oyster, Loh Bak, Asam Laksa etc are heavenly! We only ate hawker food and nothing else there wtf.

We also went up Bukit Bendera, where you'll have a bird's eye view of Penang!

To get up there, you'll have to ride up this scary and steep trail on a tramp wtf! D: 

 Really people mountain people sea on holidays. :O

Le tramp arrived! 

Or if you're super fit you can walk your way up! Which will take you about... FOREVER! I'm sure those people there will give up hahaha.

Bird's eye view of Penang Island and sea from Bukit Bendera.

Going downnnn. 

And we also went to Hard Rock Hotel! Which is located really near to our Hotel! Convenient max. (Y)

Lots of lots of Beatles stuff thar. And galleries of clothing and guitars used by pop idols and rock legends like the Beatles, Freddie Mercury, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers etc. 

We went there at night so not much pictures taken cause it's too dark and i suck at night time photography. :C

Kepala-kepala Beatles. :D

Ohai MJ.

And bought a Hard Rock Cafe tee shirt! After buying this, i made a life plan to travel to all countries that has Hard Rock Cafe and buy a shirt there lol.

On the last day, we visited a lot of the local Buddhist temples there. My gosh, all the building structures are damn detailed and pretty. *O* 

Ughh dunno why Blogger somehow degraded the quality of the pictures. Macam Facebook only! Oh wells. :/ 

Sis and i also went by a cafe that sells macarons and cakes in Gurney Plaza! It's so awesome that it deserves a post by itself! Will blog about it on the next post! :D 

We also passed by this super cute cafe called the Clinic Cafe! The interior was decorated with stuff that to make it look like well, a clinic! Completed with wheelchairs and syringes and nurse waitresses. *w* 

Didn't manage to try it out as we're short on time. :C

That's all for now! :D Sleeeeeeeeeeeeep.
