Day 7 Osu Parade Finals

so it's the actual osu parade the next day and we really don't want to go T_T
well, who wants to when they've lost terribly. came up with a lot of reasons but in the end i still pulled myself up and dressed myself in meiko to go. was told the day before that i needed to wear gwendolyn again (due to my mix up), but i really don't want to wear the same thing twice so i just went with meiko nevertheless.

and....... it turns out that the trip was not compulsory and it didn't really matter what you wore, because there was no announcement or whatsoever made, but purely a group photo and a parade through. thank goodness i didn't wear gwen, would have been even more bitter if i did.

since i was all alone after yvonne bangsehed.......... it was good i had the taiwan organiser to talk to. whee~

and i hung around with the chinese cosers~~ they had umbrella paired with their costumes and i got to share the shade wheehee >.<

took just another 2 more photos with team india (they are actually siblings) and mia

here's the photo we all toiled for... if you even manage to see me... =_=

we then paraded through osu and got back to the hotel around 12+. pretty early.

after cleaning our stuff and packing our things, we were told that we had to go to the finals in costume around 430pm. zzzz. pondering if we should go in kayako/sadako cos...

but maybe not.

and it seems we couldn't attend if we didn't cosplay. which kinda makes us quite mad, since we weren't told earlier and we had to be there by 6. we've packed all our stuff and had to lug it out which was really troublesome, and to be honest, it was really of no necessity to wear costume. we had to cos the screen will sweep across the wcs rep within the audience via nico live and we would look odd without costumes. they wouldn't even allow us to sit elsewhere as the theatre was supposedly packed. worst of all, all the reps had to go up on stage first, before the 'losers' can sit down to 'enjoy'. shaming session, anyone?

in any case, we decided not to go in the end and i got out with yvonne to look around the next door shopping mall. retail therapy... turns out there's an akb48 (or skb?) with a long queue, an anime cafe and the salmon mascot cafe there, just next door~

there was also some protest going on..

we settled dinner at a udon shop. been wanting to eat this since osaka, although this is the hot version. only 490 yen~

then we had the pulpy orange at starbucks. so sour but refreshing~

then we went home early and slept early for the day~

150201 Lily Shoot

so denise wanted to finish off her photoshoot and i came over to help for her vocaloid lily.

since it was held at her house, helping out is actually pretty comfortable - comes with food too~! and adorable dogs sleeping around her couch... momo and puteh.

end of shoot in like 2-3hrs - fast!~ and i think she did a great job and zera's lightings were all awesome.

i managed to take one myself too.

she's posting some more on her page - do keep a look out~ there are some i really like but i don't think she's posted them yet.

141115-16 Len at JP

so for 2 days straight over the weekend, i did len from setsugetsuka as part of a freelance job at Jurong Point. it was just walking around, taking pictures with people to promote the shokutsu street at the basement so it was a rather easy job.

i got there almost an hour early but finished preparations in less than 15mins. whoooops. so selfies in the toilet. hahaha..

here's the lot of us on saturday - jes, vio, yokey and sakura (who was late by an hour =_=)

we then had dinner at a hk restaurant afterwards.
i guess, due to sakura's lateness, we got to have 1 extra member to make up for the 'mistake' on sunday - yumi! along with vio, yokey, max and sakura.

my make up was done using different base and brand but i guess there's not much diff. heheh it was experimental anyway. jov and val dropped by toooo

pic of us 'at work' with the men carrying the boards. heh.

had a group dinner after that at the malaysian street. bahkutteh was nice!

140516 Meet and Greet

so on the first day, we were supposed to have rehearsal and set up our stuff from 11am onwards. it was quite a shock to see the place, really. it was non-aircon and the stage was much smaller than cosfest. kind of expected, but perhaps not the hotness. would have thought that they'll be decent enough to install some aircon for the poor cosplayers, but guess not.

so... since we didn't bring over most of our things, we decided to tape up a background bought from taobao, and set up some mock stands - both of which didn't come to any use eventually. lol.

while waiting for our turn to rehearse, we went on interviews with the local newspaper over phone. it was so hot, we had to walk over to marina link mall to be able to talk decently. we weren't even in our costumes yet for goodness sake.
at night, we were brought over to novena square for a Meet and Greet session.

wise choice for Kasumi, who had to skip this thing due to his japanese lessons. we had to basically change and make up in the public toilet (it felt like some rush for time in a reality show btw), in our sweaty state, and be introduced to the small little crowd. then entertain them with clownish games. so here's some photo spams~

 team japan, china and malaysia... can you tell who's who!
