Ok, i'm still busy doing my costume for this weekend, Jakarta Fashion and Food Festival at Kelapa Gading. There will be parade and we cosplayers will be at the starting part. So any of you who have time this saturday 23rd do come and visit Kelapa Gading. The parade start at 6pm but road closure is from 4pm i think, so i recommend to come earlier.

Amazing discovery

2009-02-20T10:04:01Z

Ok ok... i admit i'm still a new comer for cosplay but I've done something that amazed me today.

Ok, I did a cosplay on Miku before and the wig after tat was in a mess. FRIZZ!! I was thinking to buy another wig or to dye a new wig to get the colour. And yes my preparation was done... FW acrylic ink and Dylon cold dye. And even recently i found a wig in taobao so cheap that I WANT IT SOOOO MUCH!!!

Anyway, during the march there will be a series of cosplay event and yes i'll try to attend every week so my costume have to be ready. So yes... the old Miku wig is a problem. So yesterday i soaked it 1 whole night in conditioner water and still not much different. I cant even run my fingers thru it. And i dont want to spoil it by pulling them apart. So reading a few tips on defrizz wig, i found this and praying that it will help and amazingly it is done withing 2-3 hours.

This is my wig before i began repairing

It was bad...

Then i follow the method by damping the wig with water and my straightener iron set to the lowest temp. Slowing working from the most bottom part of the wig and up.

Not perfect but i can comb it now.

See the difference ....

Some other imp things to take note is that, when pressing the iron to the wig, try not to press it hard. Just warm it and do it slowly and a few times it is done. The wig must be damp but not wet... cos if it is too wet, the excess water that heat up will burn your hand. Ahh at least now i have one costume ready to wear for next month.

I still have Mitsuru Kotobukiya, skirt is not yet adjust to my length and I dont know if i'm gonna make her sword.

Out in local magazine

2009-02-13T02:53:51Z

I'm still not in a fit condition and i really ignored my lj hikz hikz... anyway can't stop my project! so Ganbatte!

Cosplay ~ in future planning ~

2009-01-09T19:00:09Z

It's time for me to plan my cosplay for this year. Well as i'm into my 3rd year of cosplay, i would like to make a simple mission. I would like (prefer) to cosplay past / old anime or manga. At least 2 years ago characters. Well not that i don't want to cosplay a recent character but i bet there will be alot of others doing the same and i would like to travel back time. So here we go...

These are just my random ideas for the time being.

Alexiel from Angel Sanctuary

Seras Victoria from Hellsing (the weapon is very challenging)

Ruby Moon from Card Captor Sakura

Kinomoto Sakura from CCS (i would love to cosplay this particular costume and with her sword as weapon not the star wand)

or

Kamikaze kaitou jeanne (i would like both but may be i will choose the second picture)

One of the character from Claymore (maybe Theresa)

Yohko from Devil Hunter Yohko
or

Jam Kuradoberi from Guilty Gear

Persona 3 S.E.E.S (i forgot her name)

Shakugan no Shana

Well this is alot and of cos i wont be able to complete all within a year but i'll try to make some. I also need to improve on my Rin Tohsaka and Miku. Cosplay spirit!!!

How's the nite? Still very early to turn in so i'm saying a few new year's words. The starting of 2008 was a bad year for me and i seems to have a dilemma in my life but what is a life without ups and downs. Time passed and all went well, 2008 may be a learning year for me and i hope 2009 will be a better year for me.

Again i may not forget all my frens who are always there to cheer me up... and cosplay seems to get me more interested. I will be a better frens and better cosplayer ^___^

Best wishes and may all of you have the greatest happiness in 2009.

Singapore trip

2008-10-22T02:28:50Z

Waiii~ it's all confirmed!!! My fren Leny is coming with us to Singapore too ^^. Apart from the busyness in the Nov month, i must start planning for the Dec trip. Accomodation is a little problem to us, as there are 2 parents and 7 of us. I want a hostel near Orchard... I know Lucky Plaza there and behind Mount Elizabeth is cheaper but there isn't online booking is it? Not much info i can find in the internet about this area. Whereas, there are 2 hostel around Bugis which available for booking online but they charge $20/person/nite. It may be better if we get a hotel for $100+ rite? ALL SQUEEZE IN!! XDD

After accomodation transport is another problem. For daily transport it is easy, everyone get a EZY pass. But on the 13 dec as we had our photoshoot in the morning, to transport at least 6 ppl to expo and our props... err... trouble. Either we get 2 taxi, or a maxi cab, or MRT.

Ok that's just a plan, actual day we may even get worst or some miracle happened. Anyway praying for the success of this trip, we may even go every year LOLL jaa~

Cosplay Scheduel

2008-10-17T12:45:52Z

So here i'm in PJ, enjoying my coffee bean. There's a new Karaoke opened and Mr Pancakes ^^

1 Nov (2-8pm) - Miku Miku dance, I hope i won't stay too long. [Expo]
2 Nov (12-6pm) - Cosplay party. [Expo]
9 Nov (10-5pm) - Cosplay Cabaret. [Expo]
16 Nov (unsure) - Cosplay Party. [Grand Indo]
22 Nov (unsure) - Cosplay Party. [Balai Kartini]

13 Dec (7-9am) - Photograph session @ Singapore
13 Dec (11-6pm) - EOY 2008

The scheduel is too packed and I only manage to make 2 costume. So for the whole month of nov I'll be miku o.o so far my props are 85% done but i'm more worried about the preparation for the day. Because my wig is not style permenatly, so i hope styling it won't take more than 1 hour.

Tml, we will have our pratice for the cabaret play. We only have 4 hours to do it. And pratice one more time on the 2nd.

Praying everything went on smoothly and for those who could make it to support me and my team pls be there!!!
