Missing out.

Yes I'm definitely missing out on a lot of things alright. :'(

First of all, I haven't been watching anime for like, the few months?! Been sort of banned from using the computer so my only source of entertainment and what I use to keep me updated is via my iPhone. Seriously my iPhone and I are inseparable. Facebook, Twitter whatever all thru my trusty iPhone. Heck, even this blog post is written from my iPhone wtf. :O

But the downside of an iPhone is that I can't browse videos. Except YouTube and Crunchyroll. Soi resorted on reading manga but I got bored easily and it's really troublesome reading on an iPhone. >:(

Animes I need to catch up on are :
1) Kuroko no Basuke.
- Sis is hooked on this show. The manga was great and I wanna see some live action ! :D Cosplays of this series have been mushrooming a lot too.

2) Inu x Boku SS...?
- Ikr. So outdated hah. Idk. Having second thoughts bout watching this. Hope it won't turn out to be like Guilty Crown. Have seem so many cosplay a from this series too so I assume this series is not bad?

3) Fate Zero.
- Yes, super duper outdated. Really love Fate Stay Night and I know that Fate Zero will be equally awesome !

Lastly, I have not been attending any ACG events since May! :( okay, maybe there wasn't much during that period of time but I did miss out AFA MY during June sighs. If I'm not mistaken, the next event after AFA MY is Animangaki which is on the 25th and 26th of August... A few days before SPM trials. Fml seriously.

Can't find any actual pic of the awesome logo so I had to screen save it. xD They're theme for this year is 'Koukou', which means high school! Thus the school badge-like logo.

Another event I'm bound to miss out because it's in the middle of trials is Taylor's Uni's Asaban Fest, held on 1st September.

Asaban Fest was one of the few events I attended before I even started cosplaying. Taylor's Anime Society didn't organize one last year but they're back now!

So I guess my next event will be end of this year's Comic Fiesta, after SPM! A really really long way to go but time flies. Won't be attending this year's AFA in Singapore during November as SPM will be ongoing then. Definitely want to attend Cosfest in Singapore next year! Now, who shall I drag along hoho. xD

On a different note, I might be retaking my Highway Court test (or better known as 'Undang') after trials after failing the first time. /sad
If I pass then I'm one step closer to learning to drive ! So excited ! :D

As for my trials, I'm really really worried inside. I'm afraid I won't score well and might end up disappointing my parents. Blame my laziness and love for sleeping and slacking. I mean really, I'm super worried yet I'm not doing anything. I know the consequences of not scoring well yet I still won't push myself. Guess I really wanted to fully enjoy my last year in high school and just chillax and enjoy lah! So fuck the MOE for taking away our last year of happiness and well, fuck SPM.

Sighs. I guess I'll kiss the college scholarship goodbye this time.

All Things yummy!

Hello!

Been missing for quite awhile as i'm not really allowed to touch the computer. D: The only Internet access i've got is via my iPhone. And mostly active on Facebook or Twitter.

But! Today everyone's out. So i get the whole house, and most of all THE COMPUTER to myself hohohoho!

Shall update this dead man's blog with a food/ cafe review!

*PS: In relating to my previous post, i didn't went for AFA. :C Therefore shall save my cosplay plans for later events. That is, if i am able to attend sighs.

So at one of my previous posts, i blogged about my trip to Penang and i stumbled upon a lovely cafe there!

So cute right! Even the signboard is pretty! :3

Macaron Cafe is located inside a shopping mall. Not only do they sell their renowned macarons, they do sell some other delicious cakes and pastries too! Since i didn't have the chance to sit down and taste more of their food, i can only review about the rainbow cake and the macarons i bought from there. But i heard that their drink are not bad too! Just have to know which ones to order. (:

And the cafe has quite a calming ambiance too. Just that i feel that it's a little too dark. i personally prefer a more well-lit place to eat... And i need better lighting to snap pics of my food ! xD

Some of the things displayed near the entrance. Spot the rainbow cake!

Rilakkuma items on display! Super cute! :3

Pretty menus with French inspired designs.

Some other cakes on sale. Heard that their brownies are quote good too.

And finally...

Where they store the macarons!

They were soooooooo many to choose from! Took my sis and i awhile to choose haha.

My rainbow cake and macarons were nicely packed into this brown paper bag. Thumbs up for being very eco-friendly! (Y)

These are macarons i bought. Starting from the top left row, 2 Mochas? (i forgot the name of the flavor. >__<) , 1 Lychee, 2 Operas, 2 Bubblegums (i'm pretty sure this is the name but i'm having some doubts...), 1 Yam and 2 English Rose.

Onto my review!

Since it's my first time eating macarons, i'm quite unsure on how it's supposed to taste like lol. But i can taste that the macarons were really well made. No funny tastes or textures and all. And the fillings were really creamy. What really made me enjoy these macarons was they weren't too sweet. I love sweet stuff but stuffs that are way too sweet can turn me off. :/

Mocha doesn't really have much of a coffee taste. Tastes more chocolatey but i do taste some slight coffee.  But i still enjoy it!
Lychee was not bad. Can taste and smell the lychee flavor.
Opera was my favorite among all! Should've bought more argh! D: Has a vanilla-ish and faint chocolate taste. Enjoyed every bite! (Y)
Bubblegum really tastes like bubblegum! Like those normal bubblegums with strawberry taste.Best part is it has a bubblegum scent too! Surprisingly it wasn't overly sweet like what i thought it would be.
Yam was okay. can't really taste the yam in it but it was still good.
 English Rose was my least favorite. :C Not that it tasted horrible, i juts didn't enjoy the taste. It has a really strong potpurri-ish and sweet tea smell and you can smell it when you consume the macaron. I didn't like it cause i didn't like the scent.

I ate the macarons with my family in the car while we were driving home haha!

When we reached home, we refrigerated the rainbow cake for awhile and onto nomming it. :D

HO look at the super vibrant colors! I know it's all the food coloring but whatever! Could not be bothered. :P

 Top part of the slice was covered with pure white vanilla icing and some rainbow and star sprinkles! It was a little ruined cause of the long car ride. :C

Some cream in between each layer. And if you noticed, the part between the yellow and green layer has a slightly dark color. That's cause they applied a layer of jam onto it! If my taste buds don't fail me, i'm pretty sure it's strawberry jam.

Half gone! 

Last bite. :C

Overall, the cake was pretty delicious! Although i think the layer of jam made the cake a little sweeter but it's still great. The jam gave the cake the right amount of sweetness. :3 And the cream and icing wasn't too overly sweet and whatnot either. Basically it's a really colorful and yummy vanilla cake! 

Do head over to Macaron Cafe at Gurney Plaza to give it a try! If i'm able to go back to Penang, will definitely stop by and really sit down and enjoy the food they serve. (:

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

Joanne as Akemi Homura.

Rae as Sakura Kyoko.

Cloudee as Kaname Madoka.

Here's another one with twinneh! (And my huge thighs urgghhh.)

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.
