My CF 08 Experience

Well the highly anticipated weekend finally came, and just like that…. Its come and gone…. Yeah, I’m talking about CF 2008 people. I’ll give you a lil history behind me wanting to go for events like this. It all started with TAF 2007. Gosh I remember it like it was yesterday. I was studying A levels back then, college was a whole new thing for me and wouldn’t you know it? We had our own Anime Society and we were hosts to our very own Anime Festival; Taylor’s Anime Fest to be exact. So I was introduced to the world of cosplay. It intrigued me, sure I’ve seen people in costumes before but not people my age and certainly not this close up. Fast forward a whole year and it’s time for TAF 08 to take place, except this time… I’m no longer a spectator. XD I’m a friggin cosplayer!; Reno to be exact from the ever popular and famous game/CG movie FF7.

That was that, from that moment on… I was hooked and since that day, everyone who’s anyone in the cosplay community has been telling me the same thing. YOU HAVE GOT TO ATTEND CF OMGFTWBBQILIKEMILK! LOL! So yeah, I’ve been waiting awhile for this thing and truth be told…. IT ROCKED HARD!!!! Haha now I get what you guys were saying about the previous events being off the mark. CF is great indeed!

Anyways, that blabber aside…. I’ll give you my account for my first time at CF 2008. Here wii go yo!

So yeah, got up at 8a.m. I surprisingly woke up before my alarm went off too (haha subconscious must’ve nudged me to wake up). Dei was still fast asleep on the mattress next to mine and I nudged him. He was still tired from staying up the morning before (yes, we played PS3 and chatted all night long till it was morning…) He kept pressing the snooze button on the alarm but we managed to finally get up and we left the house about 9ish. Arrived at 10 because we had to pick up a couple of people on the way. So I had my make up applied by my personal make up artist (thanks Reg!!! appreciate it!) Everything was going smoothly and wouldn’t you know it? Zimz forgot to bring her brush for my scars *more squinty eyes* so yeah…. No Reno scars that day *sad…* and my hair was a lil fucked up coz it was too long… It wasn’t my best portrayal of Reno but people still seemed to recognize me so…. It wasn’t all bad I guess. Entered and posed for a couple of people and then….

BAM! I found my RUDE!!!! I was so glad that for once, Reno wouldn’t walk the halls Solo like I had to for the previous events! Thanks Rude for showing up at CF for at least day 1 ;)

Since all the tidus's went AWOL I figured it was time for the ol Reno to pick up the lonely Yuna's walking the hallways. H-e-l-l-o LADIES =3

Half the day goes by and I didn’t even have the chance to eat lunch properly, I’m out of the sushi king and rushing into the men’s room for a quick costume change into *drum roll* Gintoki!

From Gintama for a private shoot with my Gintama group. I’ve typed so much I figured I’d let the pics do the talking to describe the shoot XD it was a blast lols!

After that… I was just… guh… drained… I was so tired I fell asleep at the café on a couch holding my empty drink cup… it wasn’t till Tamz (Pikachu) started quick attacking me (poked me continuously) that I woke up. Dei is such a caring friend, he took me under his wing and really took care of me for those two days when it came to nourishment (Thanks a bunch man ;) you’re a good friend) he bought me a 100plus and I started to feel better.

Drove home after dropping him off at a station so he could get his boots and I basically fell on my bed clinging on to what life I had left in me (I was tired but I couldn’t sleep…. Know the feeling?) My housemate (like Dei) was worried when he saw me. He peered in to check on me to find a half dead guy chatting on MSN face down on his pillow. “Are you okay dude?” he asked opening the door slightly, “…Coz you look really dead, wanna eat something?”. I fixed myself up with some instant noodles and after ingesting some of that and a lively chat with my friend I was good to go again (too good that I didn’t sleep till 3…. Gah!)

Day 2 of CF promised more attendees, mostly because of the increased attendance of cosplayers because of the solo competition held that day. Alas, I felt something was missing that day… that high I got at AFA wasn’t present. It felt… dare I say It? Boring!? OMG NOOO This is CF!!!

But I guess that’s as far as it’ll go being an event hosted in Malaysia. Nevertheless, I shouldn’t complain so much! I had a blast meeting up with all these new faces and taking pictures. Made a couple of fans too XD you know who you are!

Anyways, I er…. Took part in a performance on day 2 *squints* a dance to be exact… so… yeah…. I’ll let the video do the talking and you can decide what to make of it XD some people loved it, others just continually did spit takes especially the ones in the front row or so I hear lol!

Long story short as far as the solo competition goes, I wasn’t good enough to make it to the finals. Competition was tough and I applaud the finalists who got to be in the final 8.

Nemesis, Zehn a cosplay friend of Dei’s and I was one of those finalists. I believe the remainders were, Yuna and Riku from FFX-2 they were the same ones I saw at AFA XP hot pair, they really suit the two characters. Asoka from Star Wars (she made her own light saber! Nicely done). Faust… I think he needs to study his character more, you weren’t jumpy enough dude… Blackstar from soul eater, haha hyper lil fella I must admit. Sheryl Nome! OMG she was one of the greats! My new cosplay heroine! She was damn in character! Hope I can reach her level of cosplay one day and uh…. Owh yeah, there was KRAUZER-SAMA lol! You were great Zimz! Really good cosplay!

Anyways, after the competition all I wanted to do was be Gin-san for the day and that’s what I did.

Walked around all unenthusiastic, wanting some sake, and reading my WEEKULY JUMPU~

I had a candy cane which I stole from Kagura but I finished it after a few hours… Shinigami-sama only ‘helped’ make it shorter too… guh… Here’s more pics…. The problem with my posts is that once I start typing I can never stop LOL!

All in all, a decent ACG event. I hope to see more of these in the future. If only I had been exposed sooner… all the events I’ve been missing out on… haha imma make it all up and go for all the events I can ;) next up! GACC!!!! HUYEAHHHH!!!! See you there ;)

Hahaha Pictures Of Moi~

Well it's been awhile since I updated this thing... sorry guys and gals... exams have taken their toll on me and i've been busy with cosplay preps and family stuff but now i've been forced back to update by my Kawaii yet sometimes Kakoii Sistah Emilie even if it means adding up pics (no really she told me to put up pics XD) So yeah, anyways... recently i've had a pretty good run with keeping my skin nice and clean so I've taken the liberty of camwho-.... I mean... Cam-jigolo-ing. Anyways... here's a few of the pics that got my stamp of approval!


Here you've got neko me reading XD love the ears
Here's me and ma maid. She's like an elder sis more than anything else











Me emo-ing.... don't show ma grandma, she hates it when I emo....
Haha ahh the fanservice pic~ Grell-ish look with Reno rod XP phallic symbol anyone?











I love ma hoodies... and I like Gin-san's wig... gonna miss it when I give it back
LAMBERT!!!! It's so cute... i'm never sad when it's around. It keeps me happy!











Bored in college.... so I decided to take out the cam before english class started
Another neko shot~ I'm hoping to do loveless next year? Any takers?











Gah! Nostalgia, At Asia Cafe (Asia or AC as most of us call it) finished an exam, not happiiii T.T
I love the smell of hair... it's so aromatic~ shampoo makes it smell like strawberry bubblegum











Was waiting for Hiro-san to get ready. So naturally I had to take a shot for the memories
Tidus and Yamamato out for drinks, what? Tidus is actually blind but he usually uses contacts











Reno when he's not antigrav... man... the bishieness is killer. I dig red hair =3 it's H-A-W-T!!!

That's all for now. I've got more pics but there's just simply too many. Gosh.... CF (comic fiesta) is in 5 days.... hope i'll be ready by then ;) good luck to those entering the competition. I know some people who're already guaranteed a spot for the finals =.= it's gonna be tough...

ACF zero 2

So yeah, despite not wanting to take this event seriously, I still decided to attend because of my gang (I love you guys... gonna miss ya over in UK T.T)

Woke up in the morning (like 9++) and got ready to go. Jacky and Hikaru caused some delays because they were missing stuffs (or more like Jacky was missing his socks) this caused me to experience some delays too (i forgot my socks in rushing them XD).

Got to TS at around 11? Hurm... found great parking (right next to the doors leading to the escalators!) and made our way up. Jacky and Hikaru went ahead to register while I (as nowaki-san) went to meet up with my Hiro-san (9gems) for our date =3



Unlike normal couples (we're a Yaoi couple XD omg) who get ready before going out, we only groomed ourselves and put on make ups after meeting up (haha even helped each other with our stuff lol). Finishing up, we both headed to the event venue. Pretty small, but concentrated enough to allow for movement from booth to booth and for random cosplay pic snapping.



Waited for quite some time... we were both bored for that period of time. The atmosphere only improved once we were joined by the likes of Akira (ice cream) and her seme (cute non-cosplaying gal? I dunno your name XD never intro properly!!!!!) and Mugen-panda. (we treated the group to some yaoi shots (hope you enjoyed em =3 now where's our money? 1 buck for every shot lol! Kidding!)

After some amount of poking from almost all sides... by mugen, ice cream, jacky =.= and a few others, it was time for some lunch. Yay!!! We went to sushi king... gah... my paycheck hasn't come in Hiro-san! I can't afford to eat there... (so thanks for feeding me =3 i'll treat you during CF! I promise!) Many happy moments in sushi king. Some cute scenes with laughter from Akira's seme XD (she laughs like she's hiccuping very cute) and there were a couple of nice moments where the Ukes and the Semes fed each other (cute audience AWWWWWWWW!!!)


We headed over to the arcade one lunch was over with... A few rounds of Para Para Paradise was in order. There was a pro amongst us as well, man was he good (followed the PPP girlie style a bit too much at times but still... good =D). Hiro went next and I went after. Needless to say, I sweated like a dog who couldn't pant *squints* and my hair was all over the place and needed restyling. No worries, Hiro-san was more than happy to patch things up and I was looking good as new in no time.


Went back to the venue to see the cosplay competition... nothing too much to look forward to. Standard amount of cosplayers drawn in. The usual bunch took part (at this rate i'll get acquainted to everyone in a matter of no time.... where are all the cosplayers in KL?) In my honest opinion, Satan and Narukids skit was the best amongst the competition. They really got the crowd hyped up. Sadly, they didn't even get placing which I thought was outrageous. Satan took it like a good sport though. No complaints from him (none that he showed outwardly anywyas). The champs shouldn't have won. Even if their costumes were generally good, the performance was over done and honestly the dance routine appeared half assed. No crowd support as far as I remember and well.... if at all, I think Gintoki should've gotten first as he was in character throughout the entire event. My salutations to you man. You rock!


Had dinner afterwards, no money... so i sipped some of Hiro-san's drink hehehe we even had a moment =* huhuhu some hot date XD i'll leave the rest to your imaginations XP Hur... drove home with Jacky and Hikaru... found my router to be fried... apparently there was a heavy storm earlier while I was out. I left it on as usual for my friend to use and he didn't switch it off claiming that I locked my door (doubt he would've done it even if it was open but who knows...) i'm using the one streamyx gave us but it's only temporary, gotta make it so that he can use the line too...
Gah... i'm tired... wanna sleep... so yeah... nice outing, event was bluek but I liked the company owh and and... I GOT CAT EARS XD now its time to corrupt the minds of my fans XP whoever they may be =D Ciaos for now. Oyasuminasai~

Being Bishie...

I've come a long way since highschool. I used to be the dude that had zits all over his god**** face and it only worsened when the temperature increased due to the hot hot weather that we have to endure in Malaysia. Well I tried everything, creams, lotions, scrubs you name it. Nothing really worked for me. The power of puberty simply could not be over come. I'm not the hot hot guy type that girls drool over XP and I honestly don't mind that lol! Makes me humble and it ain't all about looks right?

Skip forward 6 odd years and you're in the present day. I'm a full time college student and the effects of puberty have run off. My face can actually be clear on some days of the week but of course like any other battlefield, my face wasn't left unharmed as I've got a few scars from them pimples. It's not too bad though, coz those imperfections I've realized as of late can be covered up by make up XD ok ok I know it's weird for me (a guy) to be mentioning that I use make up but it's only for cosplay which means it's for a good cause (anime characters need perfect skin what? =P)

Skip forward another few months and I've attended and participated in a few cosplay events held around KL and Selangor. Conventions like TAF (taylors anime fest) and ACGC (Anime Comic and Gaming Convention). To make it short and sweet, I've been awarded anime character status lol! or something like that. I've got fangirls (the one's i meet are quite nice) as well as stalkers (well so far nothing too extreme, they've only found my e-mail on their own which is harmless and their nice people). Up until recently everythings been fine. Until a few days ago that is.

I'm registered as a member on Comic Fiesta forums. I like to chit chat with the members and constantly post in that portion of the site. Recently, one of them opened a camwhore thread where users alike can well.... post up their camwhore pics duh! Xd unfortunately I dominated the thread a fair bit by including a picture in almost every post I made. Unfortunate why? Because I realized I can be pretty Bishie. Why is that bad? Coz it not only attracts the opposite sex it pulls in the guys interested in me too (owh dear).

I'm straight. Honestly. I have no intention of going down the path of having an intimate relationship with the same sex. I love girls! I dunno what the world would be like without em. Sure, I involve myself in the whole Seme/Uke game but most of it I condone because the ones forcing it on me are (mostly) girls... I'm fine with it, they have their fun and I get a couple of laughs by making them laugh and feeding their fangirl desires. There are a few occurences when I take questionable pictures with guys but it's mild fanservice. Nothing more...

I'm flattered that people (even the guy ones) notice me and think i'm attractive (thank you you're too kind) but seriously, no offence but i'm not interested in guy guy relationships and I'll never be in one. So if you'll please, just back off for my sake. I can take a joke but it's gotten to a point of being uncomfortable and i'm asking politely that you cease and desist. You know who you are. I don't mind being friends but that's all it'll ever be. I hope i've made this clear to you XxxxxXxxxxxx

Halloween Party at Metropolitan College

So yeah, it's the 31st... a time for scares and candy =3 so many parties to go to and I chose the one held in Metropolitan. Why? Coz my buds are going that's why lols! Cosplay gang get together again for the usual list of socializing activities. Chatting and catching up with as well as candid and some yaoi shots to boot.

Well I can't say too much about the party held at Metro. It wasn't the best thing i've been to to say the least. It was more of a private outing rather than an event or so it seem to be. Lack of organization and crowd control. Loads of people were doing their own thing in their own groups a.k.a syok sendiri XD

The cosplay competition was pretty fail aside from the lack of participation, nobody really did anything too wow for it (i know i didn't XP) but Jacky and MskGod's dances were amusing. I was pursuaded to join despite having thought about not doing so for the past week (i have nothing planned that's ready and good...) I did a monologue portraying a vamp that's losing his teeth and hates his wife (i die in at the end of it only to live on miraculously), got 2nd placing which netted me a figurine (hot swim suit chick) and a RM 600 voucher for products at Osim =.= i think i'll ge that head massager now X3

Loads of photos being taken by photographers. I didn't get too much attention but i know who did... don't I Aoitenshi? Joo cat galz joo =P Loads of fans you have. My nose almost bleed...

We did play some games but they just didn't have that edge to draw people into participating. Only us hardcore peoples took part (my arms are tired from that follow the leader business) darn joo hardgayjacky!

Before the night ended, we stopped by Starbucks and turned almost every head in there. A bunch of taylors college students greeted us by wishing a happy halloween (at least some people know what time of year it is)

Chilled at Burger King till it closed with Lan, Cappy, Izumi, Sky, Jacky and Hikaru.

Now at home kinda tired, kinda sleepy, definately bored in my room typing out this post while Jacky is MIA in my house and Hikaru is busy trying out DMC demo on my PS3 (that's Devil May Cry people, not Detroit Metal City XD)

I'm gonna go rest now... catch ya later... or not X3

Belated Post On : Raya

(note: this was long overdue and I left it as a draft one night and haven't touched it since.... today. Anyways, my apologies.... here's my post about raya XD like finally =P)

So after the whole month of fasting, there's that one day to look forward to (or sometimes nothing much to look forward to...) Yeah, i'm talking about RAYA!

So yeah... Raya this year fell on the 1st of October. I had managed to persuade my grandma to host and open house for friends this year so I decided to invite a bunch (my old school friends and some new faces amongst the cosplay gang). Although many were away and out of town to balik kampung (as expected) turn out to my house was reasonably good. I even posted on the CF (comic fiesta) forums and invited anyone who was interested. Free food and good company? You can't go wrong =3

I went f0r the Raya early morning prayers as usual with family and returned home to wait for my friends. I told em to come after 10.... I waited.... and waited... and waited some more... the clock struck 12 and still no one came. I was starting to get worried lol but eventually i got my first visitor AMELIA XD who came through the gates after being dropped off by her parents. We were then joined by the likes of Edmond, Rio, Shaun, Haithal, and a few others. I had to go pick up gemz and akiko from the trian station at around 1plus so I drove over to find akiko-chan sitting near the stair case (was she reading? I can't remember XD). Then I got a minor shock lols! Gemz showed up after about 1omins and in.... a BAJU KURUNG? O___________O
It is so not her lols!

I brought em home and offered em the usuals, a drink (my gramma's fruit punch, a fav amongst the guests I might add) and some kuih raya (i know a bunch of you liked the cookies you cookie monsters!) I went out a few hours later to pick up Potter and gang who arrived in the late evening. I picked up Sky too but I had to turn around to get her though (she arrived a lil late but no matter, I needed to get more Ice so it's ok Sky ;))

I tried intergrating my two groups of friends who came (EPIC FAILZ that was). My old skool friends all decided it was cooler (temp wise) to stay in the lounge and play chotaiti (did i spell that right?). My new anime/manga/and all things cosplay friends were more interested in staying in my room raiding what little manga I had on the shelf and forcing me to.... to.... watch X_X scenes from... J-j-j-JUNJOU ROMANTICA (god purge my soul lols I am a sinner!..... But so what right? OMGROLF!)

The day went along at a decent pace once my guests all arrived. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and at least we managed to take the time to leave the confines of our social circles to take a group picture =) (i know... my eyes a sepet-ed coz I'm smiling and showing joy, deal with it =3)

Everyone started making a move to get home at around 6ish. Everyone said their goodbyes and some continued texting even after they left about how good a host I make. I thank you for attending this year. May there be a nice get together next year for raya ;)

The Thing Bloggers Do When They Dunno What To Say

1. Post these rules before you give your facts.
2. List 8 random facts about yourself.
3. At the end of your post, choose 8 people to tag and list their names, linking to them.

Lets see....

1. I love sleeping on the floor (I prefer it to the bed, it's good for my back)
2. I feel most secure on the floor in the corner of my room (you can't sink lower than the floor especially when you're feeling low and sad)
3. I get agitated most easily when i'm hungry, sleepy, or things don't go my way.
4. I enjoy attention, which would explain my loud hyper nature XD
5. I have a sensitive side and I cry when things get totally out of my hands.... (i guess that's two things but whatever XP)
6. I'm open to ideas just as long as those who present them are open to mine
7. I gain pleasure from being fun and different (changing hair colour, coloured contacts, interesting hats, cosplaying)
8. I'm looking for that gal who can trust me for who I am and not for whom I seem to be (really do I look like a play boy to you?)

1. Ice Cream
2. Sagaranna
3. Aiko
4. Emilie
5. Reina

ACGC (LIKE FINALLY RIGHT!?)

Hullo friends and cosplayers alike! I would like to first apologize for not updating this blog of mine sooner (it's long over due i know) but I didn't have internet access at all since friday night the night before ACGC day 1 till today (literally a week has passed) Gomenasai!!!

Anyways, moving on to ACGC.... IT ROCKED!!!! XD i know some of you who've attended events before might see it as a flop because you've seen better (at CF more like) but this is my third convention and it was a blast. Although the first day showed a limited amount of attendances by both the public as well as cosplayers but the Air Gear Private shoot made up for it as me and the gang made our way to the interconnecting bridge between Midvalley and The Gardens for some pictures. *note* (we got questioned about our intentions during the beginning by security guards patrolling the area but aside from that and the F****D up malay group of shufflers/punks, the shoot went on without a hitch. Here's some pics



There's more on the forums somewhere and sorry for the resized photos guys and gals, i saved the wrong ones so if anyone wants bigger ones you can request em from me later or ask 9gems our photographer for that outing. After the shoot, we decided to go back and see if there was anything else to do. I bought some stuff from Mitsy's and Cappy's booth (nice job girls but Half of the things there i've already gotten from TAF =P thanks for the nice bookmarks though!) I skated around the back of the doujin' area looking at my cosplay friends taking pics together. Not long after that, as I was sitting down in the lounge-ish area 9gems surprised us by cosplaying Kazu (one of the important supporting characters in Air Gear) the things that occured afterwards I think i'll keep amongst those who were there, myself and god XD owh my.... what naughty things cosplayers do when they're bored.... i still want those photos people! This proves the surveys are bullshit! Semes and Ukes can change depending on the situation lols! Ok.. i've said too much... AHEM*

It got close to breaking fast time and well... to avoid a long story, we had to drag ourselves all the way to the bowels of the gardens to grab a bite to eat. VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE CONVENTION CENTRE... We went home generally happy though =) thanks mitt's mom for the food!

SECOND DAY

Got up early coz i had to go to KL to do something for my grandma. She needed to get something from a friend's house and i drove back from Subang to KL and back to my friend's place to grab my stuff. We got to the convention centre and Ken started styling as well as spraying my hair to get the SpitFire look. Apparently this is a deviant act XD WHY WAS EVERYONE STARING i'll never know... Wani arrived later with my jacket (yhey! I finally look the part with the fur on =D) and i was off skating again once i got my skates back on. LOADS I'm TELLING YOU LOADS OF PHOTOGRAPHERS on the 2nd day! *cries tears of joy* I was so happy to be recognized as SpitFire! and all thanks to Wani for her work ;) *i still owe you I won't forget ;P*
I even got an interview by some people who're putting up a site for cosplay events and stuff. Hope i'll be included in the video ;)

Mmm... OK OK I CONFESS!!! I skipped fasting that day.... ONLY ONE DAY la... coz i would've fainted if i didn't have something to eat before my performance. I'll ganti eventually ;P I mean how could i have pulled this off on an empty stomach


The performance I did was rather impromptu. I just finished figuring what I was gonna do literally hours before the competition. Heck, i didn't even know when i was registering. Since SpitFire doesn't show up much and all he does is act kakkoii~ I decided to steal some of Ikki's material and add a lil humour to the skit. Yeah.... SpitFire's school for StormRiders 101.

The skit kinda goes like this. SpitFire has the ability to control time...slightly... so i overblew the ability and made him accidentally travel back in time to when Air Treks are just plain rollerblades... *i flamed rolled and fell causing me to slip into the past* yup... no more regalias >_<>_< with dead/hollow XD

Tried to be seme afterwards but.... then everyone started gangbanging me.... look at it.... some many people....


Moving along somemore, I met a pair of my Reno (now turned SpitFire...) fans at the event. Even though they made me get go on wild goose chases by playing kinda one sided hide and seek it was nice to finally see them in person and take some pics with em (sorry jo jo... pic turned out blur....) carmen's pic was ok though for some reasons XD Maybe you'll get lucky next time!
There's loads of cosplay pics for me to post up but unfortunately i don't have them yet coz i haven't hunted for them *blame the internet!!!!!*
So i'll just end by saying the event was a blast for me. I met some new faces and got to bond with some not so new ones too ;) We even did the YMCA dance after the competition!!! Loved it!!! Eventhough i did the C backwards XD Till next time!
