after i heard sharings from my friends who went AFA..yappari Sat more happening than Sun nya...
AFA PLEASE COME BACK NEXT YEAR!!!! i sure got money then XD
one thing that's really lacking in most AFA09's cosplayers is theatrical makeup. Most cosplayers just do normal makeup but that's wrong. Because you're re-enacting a character you're dramatising a character. Drama = theater = exaggerated makeup.
TV shows which feature Chinese opera - or you would relate the recent broadcast of Cirque du Soleil - you'd realise that their makeup is so exaggerating. The general reason is because of lighting.However there's another reason which few know of and especially those who do theaterical makeup would: portray the face and expression of the character. Even intricate makeup lines could make one smile without much effort.
Theaterical makeup requires finding out more on the internet or books, finding where to buy theaterical makeup, practice at home - practice gets you more familiar and slowly you'll pick up speed with familiarity - don't you wanna get out of the restroom quickly to breathe the fresher air outside and attract more attention? :)
so do your best, learn up on theaterical makeup to level up like the cosplayers in Japan!
read so much hype about it but totally disappointed - the highlight booths are so small, are they really highlights?! 30th Gundam Anniversary didn't feel like it either. Maybe it's the way it's handled - should have a seperate area - a mini-museum of sorts with chronological displays of the mobile suits, their descrptions, their pilot, some famous quotes of the pilots, or maybe a TV next to each Gundam showcase series of some scenes, or never seen before scenes!
although it's fantastic to bring K-On seiyuus, oh, there was one huge part that was not subbed, only a few who understood Japanese laughed whereas 99% who didn't understand didn't.
for seiyuus i'm still waiting for the big ones like Ishida Akira or the main cast of Saiyuki, Prince of Tennis or Gundam 00...that sorta..
i didn't go for the concert..long queue. Lack of one week's sleep, didn't want to overstrain myself. Dinner was great - although it burns a hole in me pocket since i'm not working it's worth the one-time cause the sushi is so FRESH!!! that i didn't need to add sauce to enhance their flavour!!! Thanks to LP who led us there X3
Maybe AFA could hold a full-length concert. i hope T.M. Revolution/Abingdon Boys School come along for a full-length concert. Maybe bring in musicals like Tenimyu, or even hold local auditions! Irony is the scripts are in English while the songs are sung in Japanese...that's gonna be tough.
i broke my own record - i didn't buy anything at AFA this year!!!! i took some pics though. Sorry about the low quality of my handphone camera. Hopefully one day i buy a camera of its own...
initially the thought of going AFA tomorrow scares/dreads me
because everything's about buybuybuy, if not cosplaycosplaycosplay
i dun have spending power nor can cosplay thus i get pressurised
but i found a thought to counter it - i forgot what it is..i think it's along the line of countering the spending power. mmm...cosplay is expensive with the exception of Ritsuka - just a black wig and black cat ears are the expensive ones - generic but at least it's the cheapest...perhaps i do Ritsuka as a start. Fuji too expensive XD but really i wish i have a boyfriend so we can do Ritsuka/Soubi or fanservice Tezuka/Fuji X3 kyaaaa!!! XD
i'll just have to get over this fear of being overwhelmed by cosplayers XD perhaps it's also excitement, pretty mixed..but yes, tomorrow it's still yudan sezu ni ikou - i'm curious to see Gintoki and Zura X3
Zura-san - sumimasen nya..boku no rubikusu cuba onegai shimasu
i had a feeling to search on Kinokuniya's data of books while preparing for my exams (can go insane sia) then i found out - Gundam 00's side story Gundam 00f lst volume is out! then i just casually googled to find any new Trinity Blood release - and YES! ONE OF THE NOVELS IS OUT!!! Immediately i emailed to Kinokuniya and asked if they are bringing it in and if yes, when.
Oh wow...just when i thought there's nothing more to look forward to..alrite! now i have the motivation to add oil XD
initally the fic "Before You Go" was done to end a fic on Tezuka and Fuji betraying each other. It was only today that i read my past fics n clicked on the final chapter of "more" that i realised i had previously ended the whole thing! So i had to edit the former to link the latter, thus making it the final ending to the already-ended-latter :"3
it's disheartening to see few comments on my fics but i think that's because they do not get much pubilicity as fanfic.net but at the moment i have no time to rate nor catergorise it if i upload all my fic there. LP can advice me when we meet at AFA?
i'm still not sure if i want to go AFA on Sat too cos i'd be dead packed on my side. But *phew* there's Sunday X3
Iku zo
Iku zoIku zo!!Ano sora no hate wo mezashite

feel so much better after venting it all out
i can look forward to a great weekend :)
the more i edit the recordings of this particular lesson the more i'm pissed
t'was the final day before my exam
i was already in a state of panick until i forgot to switch off my handphone. i already couldn't understand a single thing that the teacher was talking and suddenly my handphone vibrated. What was worse was that i made the mistake of replying which got me even angrier with the replies - no need to reply to me, really uneccessary. What was even worst that the person was arguing for nothing with me when previously i had already told the truth - so why dispute? the truth is the truth, there's nothing subjective bcos it is the absolute truth. i made the mistake of thinking that the person is matured enough to handle it.
the person didn't know the hell i was going through - and of course the person would sure be saying the same thing but c'mon, grow up, really. If someone of ten years of age older than u gives u an advice - seriously - just shut up and take it. Dun like, throw it one side and just nicely reply instead of going all emo on me - i'm human, not a punching bag, dang it.
Really it has come to a point that even talking to Dai Gor has badly affected me. i want to help but after that ugly incident i hate giving advices for fear of another wave of retort and exasperation by anyone, even of whom of my age. It has come to a point that i just want to see everyone's life pass me by, just like that, n i'll just shut myself out and not meet or talk to anyone. Really, i have no confidence in meeting anyone at this point in time.
Apology? Do we play the blame game? May i? Seriously i'm badly affected. If i should blame i'll take it upon myself - for being a friend to that person.
i'd decided - i want my space, too noisy. So i ended the whole thing nicely. Whatever happens from now i want no part of it - bcos it's infinitely noisy on my side - i have my own unsolved problems. Try having someone throwing so many problems at you every single day without being solved or having no desire to be solved.
i should've known not to try to keep in contact when i'd decided never to.
most job agents are from the same company but everytime each of them calls up i've to tell them the same thing over and over again - it's really tiring.
Excuses
(this also applies to job agents from other job recruitment companies)
- we have too many applicants, can't expect us to remember each and everyone of you
- it's a hassle to take out the applicant's profile - i'll just call up to get the commission to meet the sales target that's it
No matter what the job agent is doing a service to the applicant = CUSTOMER service in fact. Every customer counts. Treat each applicant as a personal client - that's the level of service a job agent should give, regardless of the applicant's social or academic status. Please take the time to read the applicant's profile, consider whether the applicant matches the job and its availabilty before calling the applicant.
bad quotes examples
- "I have this job for you but this job requires you to ...... but you can't." - since it's so dang obvious why call then?!
- "We'll keep you informed." Cliche, so many job agent say the same thing but applicant still unemployed
Please remember you are not the only job agent the applicant has applied to.
Applicants who are not working doesn't mean that they are free. They too are engrossed in what they do - they may be studying even. Please do not waste the applicant's time by giving sloppy service.
Please invest in a good search data system that displays the applicant's availability status. This saves your time in calling to ask the applicant and if the applicant is still looking for a job.
Remember, your aim is not to waste the applicant's time and give personalised service to each applicant. Never treat the applicant as if you are in a slave market selling a slave off to get your commission.
a good toothpaste but too hot for the sensitive teeth and gums. Perhaps they would like to reduce the "hotness" of it while preserving its concentration of its active ingredient and include gum protection for sensitive teeth i'll definitely switch to Colgate
one more thing maybe they would like to improve. Their mouthwash. The blue one i tried was too sweet - i think there's alcohol there? not sure. Haven't tried the pink one for sensitive one - hopefully it's not sweet and not minty. They should make it no sugar and take out the mint for sensitive gums and teeth
again the word here is sensitive teeth AND gums (teeth grow out of gums duh)
they should have thought more about it before bringing out into the market?
sheesh i'm supposed to study!!! but also want to do one Tezuka x Fuji fanfic before this year ends. Ended up Fuji x Tezuka instead...aiya nem mind lah, still Tezuka n Fuji together ma XD
to read click find, on the right, a black background "MOST RECENT FIC"
comments are welcomed!
tired sia....almost 11.50pm liao, pushed myself too much for exam preparation..but satisfied :3 will continue much later
Read more...
huuuaaaa!!!! finally done the finishing touches to my blog X3 it's so hard to edit one widget at a time!!! but really it's all hard work!
hmm..Paps has been so busy that he din say anything more on his starrystarryblog...of all the days i decided to read his other blog ;p
i've been thinking about what Kai said months ago of his worries of unable to take time for his AFA cosplay preparation..i hope all goes well for u
i'd realised i really need a camera...i dun mind a cheap one..Courts having sale..maybe got chance for a real cheap one? ah no, i just looked into their promotions..dun think so..nem mind, AFA allows me to take pictures of cosplayers in close proximity
i dun mind not having a job now..cos i'd realised there's so much to prepare for my final exam. So i'm not actively in searching, i just wait for someone to call me up for a job offer, that's all
just read about Nat's thanksgiving to Saint Anthony of Padua and her Scotts' Bag Scam really scares me - even leaving things in the office, getting one colleague to take care of things while everyone goes to buy food - things can go horribly missing. i had one big pouch of stuffs with important documents missing - it took like an eternity..then someone returned it back - not one single thing was stole
Paps keeps saying the same thing over n over to me something about rushing "to get there" i tried not to, really but always the frustration overwhelms me n i'm hit with the same lesson over and over again. But now after counselling i'm a little clearer so heehee, i'm really happy n proud of my new more aware self X3
thing i wanna do for a long time..
i like to draw in pencil, it gives me freedom to rub away mistakes and play with shades and outlines
and ever since Paps got me this template i've always wanted to draw my own drawings on my own blog - i'm still a T/F shipper ;p - but i have no way to upload or have the time for inspiration to draw
finally end of 2nd exam - most of all, the new printer-scanner made my dream come true
so i spent this time remodifying my template - css is terrible, for the life of me i can only understand so little XD
mouth ulcer still bad but i guess i can eat better at the end of the week...
2nd wave over...final one's next year but have to start on the final one soon. i really am BLUR about it. really needs lotsa practice ya cos it's hands-on!!!
something new on the right..well, i'm advertising for my friend who's into a new business. Yes, it's LEGAL. Purliiis if i don't know the person myself n if the person's not trustworthy would i put even want to sacrifice the no-business nature of my blog for a business advertisement?! "use ur blain!!!!"
anyway so happy that i'll get to enjoy much soon...AFA...!! awrigh!! but i can only make it on Sunday. AW MAN!!! K N LP CP!!!!!!!! much long awaited X3 oh...my Rubik's Cube..can't wait to have it back..my life is in it X3 K so cool, he figured that my Rubik's Cube's only about colours, nothing to do with the numbers on it..suge..
i want to thank everyone who keeps me in their thoughts as i "kill" myself thru' the 2nd exam period. i did the best i could. in the state that i was in, i dun mind getting a pass now. if i fail so be it :( but really it isn't easy being sick n studying. Even my classmates who were taking the exam were sick, and those who are from other schools too - the silence of the classroom was filled with occasional coughs and sniffles. Even my classmate whom i had lunch with couldn't eat without excusing about the spolit tap of her nose! So many took leave, mcs - to rest as cos they're sick!
the paper was unexpected. the thing i read - only one came out. the rest i just tried my luck. in fact i panicked that i spent one question of 5 marks to give more than 10 points! kicked myself when i realised i spent the time wrongly. i think bcos of that i blanked at the final question, did as much as i could remember
i guess i will only congratulate myself until i get the results which i will only know next year, perhaps maybe before Chinese New Year ba..
til then i'll be yudan sezu ni ikou-ing on the third and final subject when i'm done resting for maybe two weeks..
opened my new scanner/printer too. wow. 10 years ago who would have thought a scanner-printer integration? aha. Maybe with a new scanner i can scan my PoT cards n use them as my handphone wallpaper?!! if i have the time lah
looking at my desk which looks like a recycled dumping area...i guess i'll "attack" that tomorrow ba X3
oh i love procrastinations for now XD
not that i want to...
i give up, i throw in the towel for exam preparation, i'm still having fever, temperature fluctuates - i'm in trouble. i hope tomorrow i can make it for my exam cos i may be working - may, be
actually i dun really wanna work..i really wanna rest until i'm happy to work..but that's really almost never XD
n i did what i had never wanted to do. i never wanted to be blunt cos if i am, people will not want to listen to me like the ringbearer-who-slimmed (SUGE!) X3 said. but i had to, bcos it's too dangerous for this to go on. i had to shake the right tree. what reaction i'd get - i'm going to drop that brooding worry and not borther.
cos wat we say only a few would hear n accept at the time of telling
thank u for replying to my cry of desperation...i'm much better but still slight fever
and due to fever i postponed my counselling session - cos i'm also worried for my exam preparation. This is the first time i actually postponed it - making my own decision to my counsellor - cool nya. i'm making progress, goodgood X3
realised that the exam venue's still the same as my first's..cheeh, duno wat my teacher said cos i was so blurred n stressed up - in the end same venue (just say mah - ay wait, i too blur..maybe teacher DID say XD!)
oh and a fic, to destress myself. A little reference to what i'm studying XD. Never intended to tell the story from the middle. Although i mentioned about my story plan a long time ago i duno know how to start the story XD click on "my other blog" link. Please comment if you'd like :3
first cough n running nose, still under medication, now fever! my exam's this Fri...am i expected to forfeit?!
