Goodbye 2011

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:35:00 +0000

There's only a few more days till 2011 is over and I've decided to make this a self-reflection post on what I've gone through so far this entire year; ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ

Camwhoring with my new wig from GLW ♪

Important events to highlight:-

1. Being too obsessed with online gaming and screwing up my A Levels .・゜゜・（／。＼）・゜゜・．

2. Learning how to make up (like finally after 19 years of my life LOL) o (◡‿◡✿)

3. Meeting my wonderful baby (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

4. Went to Australia for a family holiday （ｖ＾＿＾）ｖ

5. First time dying my hair! o(´^｀)o

6. Got my driver's license and my first car (thank you daddy!) (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

7. Scratching my first car.......... *emo max* 。ﾟ(ﾟﾉД｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

8. Becoming a proper gyaru （○゜ε＾○）

9. Getting a proper part-time job and experiencing adulthood ( ；´Д｀)

10. Being able to see Big Bang and 2NE1 with my own eyes during concerts! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Honestly this year's been passing by in such a blur that I can't really remember what's going on most of the time. I just hope that I'll have a good year next year too and that my studies will go well this time (must quit gaming!!!). I'll be a law student in a few days and my timetable's looking pretty hectic right about now. Classes on Saturday?! You've got to be kidding me. What will happen to my *non-existant* social life?!? щ(゜ロ゜щ)

On another note, I'm going to turn 20 next year (wtf I feel so old now) TAT. My dad says that I'm no longer a teenager and therefore I should start acting like a grown up...... but I don't want to. I want to stay a kid forever! (I wish) *rolls around throwing a tantrum* :<

Another year to live out, another year to fill with expectations. What are you hoping for next year my dear readers? I'd love to hear more about your lives so do leave me a comment if you like! :)

PS: Follow my Facebook page if you haven't for more pretty photos and updates (cause I'm more active there than in my blog ><).

AFA 2011 (Press Preview)

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:12:00 +0000

I went down for Anime Festival Asia 2011 last weekend with my boss and colleague and it was great! There were tons of people who turned up as well as cosplayers and there were awesome concerts and famous artists to see as well! o((*^▽^*))o

Mainly this post is about the press conference that took place during the 1st day of AFA and I was lucky enough to be able to attend and see many of my favourite artists on stage! Kalafinaaaa ♥

(too lazy to edit the photos so I'll just post them raw :x)

The organizer of AFA; Shawn Chin giving the opening speech.

Special appearance by celebrity cosplayers; Usagi and Kaname! ☆

They also introduced all the artists performing for the I Love Anisong concert and conducted a short interview with them as well. :)

Sea☆A; A homegrown band made up of members from Singapore and Malaysia!

Super cute and chibi Lisa! Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

Ichiro Mizuki aka Aniki!

FLOW; So cute and cool and funny and awesome! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Kanako Itou + Chiyomaru Sakura

Milky Holmes the cute detectives ☎

Rockers ANGELA /o/o/o/

Kalafina! They are so pretty in real life and their dresses are amazing OMG (ノ＞▽＜。)ノ

╰☆╮ May'n the singing diva!╰☆╮

-------------------------------------------------------

After the event I was lucky enough to bump into Kalafina and I was like spazzing like some idiotic fangirl who went "OMG OMG OMG OMG" but I got to take a photo with them! *happiness over 9000* ♥ ♥ ♥

Happiest day ever 11/11/11 (´Д｀)人(´Д｀)人(´Д｀)ノ〜♪

Then I also happened to meet Kaname and Usagi (I did not stalk them I swear!) so I took a photo with them as well hehehe. :3

* Kaname - me - Usagi *

And that concludes the entire press conference. More posts about AFA and Singapore coming soon! ♥

♥ Candy Doll ♥

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:26:00 +0000

Karaoke @ CEO

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:29:00 +0000

Went to karaoke again recently with my friends at our favourite hangout place; the CEO karaoke box at Fahrenheit 88 /o/o/

☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Reasons why I love that place so much;

1. Nice interior design and spacious rooms

2. Better than decent food

3. Very good service (!!!)

Imagine after taking your food at the buffet spot there will be waiters there waiting to carry your food to your room (like butlers wtf) !!! *A*

Look at the pretty lights ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Me - Angel - Azri ; the three musketeers

*(*´∀｀*)☆

(☆^O^☆)

the yummy yummy food I took (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

Wazzup we 2NE1! Hehe I'm a loyal Blackjack ^O^

camwhoring in the toilet again *laughs*

mirrors everywhere mirrors everywhere; a camwhore paradise (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Are you sleeping?

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 08:15:00 +0000

Did a shoot last Sunday with Misao and Gems because I needed some photos for a contest I'm joining and I'm really thankful to Misao because he was willing to help me out even though it was super last minute and all. Also thanks darling Gems for being the helper of the day and borrowing me all your cute teddies! Hehehe ♥

I'm still waiting for the entire set of photos from Misao right now but here's a short teaser for you in the meantime! ;)

[insert are you sleeping brother john song here]

Honestly I really still suck at posing in front of a camera so I have to work harder in order to become a better model next time! （。-＿-。）

Bonus! Camwhore photos of my make-up for today which was done by me except for the eyelashes which Gems helped me stick on because I still suck at putting on fake eyelashes :<

☆～（ゝ。∂） I really like this wig of mine that I've had since forever for my Yuna cosplay long ago.

Once upon a time I told myself that I'd never wear contact lenses because I had sensitive eyes and wearing them too much might make my eyes spoil but now I can't stop wearing them ever since the NHK Tokyo Kawaii filming! Oh noes! (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

PS: Thank you 400 likes on my Facebook page! 100 more till I start my giveaway so remember to "like" my page if you want to take part ! （○゜ε＾○）

Nomnoming @ Santouka Ramen

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:07:00 +0000

(a continuation of what happened after the NHK Tokyo Kawaii filming)

We went back to KLCC by cab because my feet felt like dying and I couldn't walk anymore in my heels so after we reached KLCC I went to the car and changed into flats. >__<///

Then I went to Kinokuniya with Guki, Liping and Akiko~

Mr and Mrs Shappo

Liping and I bought matching Sentimental Circus plush wallet thingies! It's like so freaking adorable and I want to hug it all the time ;A;

Us with our pretty babies ♥

After that we drove all the way to Pavilion to eat ramen at Santouka Ramen! It's really yummy and their char siew is like the best but it's kind of pricey :'(

Queuing up in front of Santouka

Luckily the line wasn't *that* long so we managed to get seats after like 10-15 minutes. Santouka Ramen is really popular so if you're going there always remember to go early!

Camwhoring while waiting for food ^-^

Our ramen is here!!! I ordered the Shio (salt) ramen with extra char siew. Nyum nyum.

Me and my ramen. Lolwut.

*happy face after eating*

Done with eating and it's time to do some shopping at Forever 21 cause they have 70% sales! /o/o/

Taking photos using their really big and pretty mirrors :x

I ended up not buying anything cause there wasn't much of anything that was interesting. Oh well. We had ice-cream later before we went back home and that concludes our entire day.

The end. :D

PS: Remember to follow my blog and my Facebook page ! xoxo

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:00:00 +0000

A post on all my recent hauls ♪

...Okay maybe not all of them. This is like a portion of the stuff I've been buying these few weeks because my shopaholic self went on a shopping spree and now I'm like... almost broke. x-x

More Dolly Wink items to add to my collection + Hello Kitty nail polish!

In case you guys didn't know I'm a huge Dolly Wink addict. I have like all their eyeliners and most of their eyelash collection and my aim is to own everything from the Dolly Wink line someday. Someday.... when I'm rich. OTL

Cute accessories from Diva!

Diva is currently having a promotion where you buy two items and get one free! So if you are a fan of Diva accessories you should totally go check out their stores now before their promotion ends! :)

November issue of Vivi + freebies

I had to purposely re-order this magazine from Kinokuniya because it went out of stock but it was all worth it! Super love the Vivi x Murua collar!

✿Cecil McBee's 2012 planner ✿

I honestly have no use for a planner because I'm like the most un-organized person in the entire world but the planner was so cute and there was only one left and I decided that I was going to be more organized next year so......... *excuses*

Snidel mook + free bag

I secretly buy these many mooks only because of the free items. I don't even read the magazines half of the time wtf. Yes I am a cheapskate ;___;

Shappo coin purse thingy from Sentimental Circus ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

My new addiction is Sentimental Circus! I love their items more than Hello Kitty or Rilakkuma but Malaysia doesn't sell much of their stuff yet so I'll have to like stock up on their items when I go to Singapore :'(

My new sunglasses from Dior ☆

And that's all for my current haul post. I might show you the rest of the stuff I bought some other time when I feel like taking photos of them :x

PS: 148 more 'likes' till I start my next giveaway so remember to follow my Facebook page! ^3^

NHK Tokyo Kawaii x Foruchizu Gyaru Meet

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 08:34:00 +0000

I've always been longing to meet more Malaysian gyarus and other Malaysians who liked Japanese fashion so when I heard about the NHK Tokyo Kawaii filming x Foruchizu Gyaru Meet hosted by Cheesie, Audrey and the NHK people I immediately called a few close friends along and RSVPed for the event! ♥

After that I had an entire week of running around planning outfit coordinations, buying new make-up items, planning where to stay and finally it was the day of the meet. A special thanks to Guki mama for letting me and Liping stay over at her place! It was also our first time meeting Liping from Singapore even though we've been friends on Facebook for a long time so it was really fun. Hehe. (*≧▽≦)

Ping Ping dear, where are you looking at? ;A;

Guki, Mieko and Liping who attended the gyaru meet with me!

We waited around Dome Cafe for a while feeling lost because we couldn't see Cheesie or Audrey but we did meet a few gyarus there so we all started camwhoring till a nice lady brought us to the designated filming location at KLCC park!

OMG it's Audrey and Cheesie! It's like every time I meet them they get prettier and prettier! I feel so shy beside them wtf. (*^^*)

However after a while a security guard came along and told us that we weren't allowed to film at KLCC so our gathering was moved to the Corus Hotel. o(>< )o

Having tea with my darlings~

Later on Yukito, Yuki & Akiko came over as well so we all sat together and gossiped haha. We haven't seen each other for quite some time since I seldom attend cosplay events anymore so we had a lot of catching up to do!

Mini cosplay friends x gyaru lovers table ♪

Filming in progress

The NHK Tokyo Kawaii also announced that the purpose they came to Malaysia this time was actually to host a competition called the "Kawaii Of The World" to search for a new "Kawaii" icon and Malaysia was one of the lucky countries to have been selected! One girl from Malaysia will be picked to represent our country and the top winner will be qualified to walk for the March 2012 "Tokyo Girls Collection" show!

It's like a dream come true for me who has been dreaming of attending TGC ever since a long time ago but the competition will be tough because there are so many pretty girls joining! I really hope that I'll win but there are many pretty girls joining so the competition will be really tough ><

*:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:

And now it's camwhore time again!

Mieko & me

*smile smile*

Met Yokoi who attended the first filming of NHK Tokyo Kawaii in Malaysia! ><

Pretty gyaru Yuki-chan ♥

Super nice and lovely and gorgeous Cheesie *shy*

And cutie Audrey who's so tiny and adorable!

Self-camwhore picture :X

This is what I wore to the meet Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

Photo taken from Cheesie; NHK Tokyo Kawaii filming in progress!

And lastly they gave us a free gift as thanks for attending the meet ★

Fake eyelashes from Candy Style!

I had a great time during the meet but I was really shy so I didn't really talk to many people even though there were so many pretty and lovely girls there that I'd have loved to be friends with. Hopefully there'll be another gyaru meet soon and I can talk to all you lovely ladies then! (>ω<＊)ﾉﾉ

Gyaru make-up test

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:28:00 +0000

...My first time attempting gyaru make-up on my own!

Finally for the first time in my life after 19 years I learn how to make up by myself and not depend on others. Signing up for a personal make up course was like the best decision I've ever made. *cries blood*

I'm still not that good at make-up yet; I can only do the basic basic stuff but I'm trying to learn by watching lots of tutorials on youtube now and hopefully someday I'll be a perfect gyaru! ><

Wearing different wigs with my make-up cause my real hair is rather crappy ;A;

And I have no idea why but photobucket is like downgrading my photos' quality when I resize them. Why photobucket? WHY?!?! :<

And do you guys realize I'm updating my blog very frequently nowadays? OMG I feel so proud of myself lololol. After stopping my addiction to online games I suddenly feel very free and since I have nothing much to do so I start blogging. Sadly my life of "freedom" is ending soon as I'll be starting work at my friend's company in a week or two and after that I'll be doing my law degree OTL. Hopefully I'll still have time to blog ne~

PS: Love Japanese gyaru make up items like Dolly Wink, Candy Doll etc but short on money to get them? Like my Facebook page and stand a chance to win them at my upcoming giveaway! Details will be released soon :x

Review: Gothic Lolita Wigs

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 09:35:00 +0000

I was always a fan of Gothic Lolita Wigs but I've never gotten around to buying them because of some reason or other but recently they had a promotion whereby they'd give out a FREE bob wig with every purchase over USD39.95 and me being the cheapskate I am I immediately went and ordered a wig. LOL. #shameless

Honestly I was a little afraid because I've been hearing a few not-so-good reviews lately about the quality of GLW wigs but I guess my worries were for naught as my wigs arrived in good condition!

The wigs I ordered; Classic Auburn Rust and the free Bob wig in Burgundy.

#Classic Auburn Rust

#Bob wig in burgundy

Communication: ★★★★★
The staff at GLW were really helpful and answered my questions on Facebook quickly!

Shipping: ★★★★★
My wig was estimated to arrive within 6-10 business days and it did arrive in the estimated time so full points for that!

Quality: ★★★★☆

After a while my Auburn wig became a little messy but all my long curly wigs are like that as well so it's not really a problem. The wig fibers are really soft and pretty!

Overall I'm very satisfied and I'll definitely order more wigs from GLW in the future! ♥

PS: Do "like" my Facebook page as I'll be hosting a giveaway soon with lots of goodies! :)

Skincare Haul ♥

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:49:00 +0000

The condition of my skin has been deteriorating lately due to the intense changes in the Malaysian weather nowadays from hot to cold to hot but mostly it's just really really hot. I used to have a blemish-free face when I was younger but as I grow older I seem to have more and more acne problems. :'(

So today... I went shopping after my Japanese class for skincare products! ♪

The good thing about the location of my Japanese class is that it's right beside Pavilion so I can go to Sephora everyday just to drool over all the gorgeous make up items and skincare products. *_____*

My haul for today from Sephora, Stardust Wink, and Shu Uemura;

Soap&Glory Sit Tight RM85; Soap&Glory Glow Lotion RM29; Soap&Glory Glad Pits RM25

My new favourite brand of body and skincare products; Soap&Glory! Decent prices + cute retro packaging... What's not to like about it?

[From top to bottom] SHILLS Anti-Acne Essence Roller RM55; Hello Kitty Face Wash RM39.90; Masks @ RM12.90 each; Spring Heart Eyelashes RM19.90; I Heart Badges @ RM3 each

Bought all of these from Stardust Wink; a shop located at Fahrenheit88 that sells TONS of make up products from Japan! They also have a huge wall pasted with Tsubasa Masukawa's face so if you're a fan of her you should totally visit this shop! ;D

Spring Heart; a new line of eyelashes by Koji.

Shu Uemura eyelashes; the top one is RM50 and the bottom one costs RM60

Honestly I have no idea why I even bought them cause they are so unpractical for daily use but I can't resist cute stuff! The top one has like silver stars dotted on the eyelashes while the bottom one has lots of gold glitter and gauze on it! u___u

I also bought some make up brushes from Sephora and M.A.C but they look boring so I'm not going to post any photos of them. :x

And lastly, camwhore photos!

After make up class. Does it look like my make up skills have improved?

When life gets tough, join a marching band

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:30:00 +0000

*inserts random title*

Today is an extremely happy day. I went to buy some make up brushes from Sephora and M.A.C, went to my make up class, came home and saw that my packages have arrived (1 containing lots of pretty clothes and another 1 with cute stationary and stickers), then received a call from 8tv Quickie informing me that I won two tickets for the Korean Music Wave 2011 concert in Malaysia tomorrow. Life is good. ;)

The entry I submitted for the contest.

Jacket-Balmain inspired from Taobao; Dress-Topshop; Tights-Offbrand; Boots-I-Socks

It was a contest to dress up as your favourite idol performing in the concert so I took inspiration from my bias (TOP from Big Bang) and randomly threw a coordinate together in like 5 minutes. Totally rushed because the contest only had a deadline of a few hours but I hope you like it! ^^

Can't wait for the concert tomorrow! I get to watch my beloved Big Bang members perform again! Except Daesung and Taeyang won't be there... TT I hope I get to watch them perform as 5 again someday ww

Lunch @ Jogoya

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 09:03:00 +0000

It's been a busy week filled with attending farewells as my friends are all leaving to pursue their studies in the UK while I'm still here... rotting my life away in Malaysia. Which was my own choice by the way so I can't really say anything about it. The remainder of my friends who decided to stay in Malaysia have also started their degrees which leaves me... all alone. Which was also my choice because I didn't want to start my degree so fast so I'll end up graduating later than all my friends and I'll be an old granny by the time I finish my Masters. :'(

But that's not really what I want to talk about here. The main topic here today is... once again... about food. I went to Jogoya at Starhill Gallery with my friends recently for their lunch buffet which was awesome and had like 2816391064 kinds of food and you can like sit there and just eat and eat and eat for 4 hours straight for a *reasonable okay maybe a bit pricey* price of RM78++ per person. (honestly I can't remember how much we paid that day so I'm just quoting the price from the website).

Unfortunately, if you've been expecting for tons of yummy food photos, you'd be sorely disappointed because I was too busy eating to actually take any nice shots and mainly because I suck at food photography and the lighting at Jogoya was kinda crappy. Anyhoo~ The main reason I went to Jogoya was for the free flow of Haagen Dazs ice-cream! Who cares about western or chinese or japanese or malay or indian food or whatever all I care about is the ice-cream! Muahahaha *_________*

What I ate for the day; a plate of sushi + a plate of fried rice + a plate of Japanese curry rice + a plate of cakes + 10 scoops of Haagen Dazs ice-cream. Yes. Ten. I'm an ice-cream maniac. ;) ;) ;)

...Just imagine this same photo 10 times and you'll be able to imagine how much ice-cream I ate. Lol.

Me and my partner in crime. *points at the empty bowl of ice-cream*

Everybody acting silly after eating.

Camwhoring in the toilet like any respectable lady should.

...And lastly our group photo. ^^

I ate so much I felt like I gained an extra 5kg that day. I hate buffets. ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ

Tokyo Street @ Pavilion

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 16:33:00 +0000

Finally found time to pop over to Pavilion to visit Tokyo Street after Japanese class with Angel and Azri to see what the hype over it was all about. I can't really say that it was *that* interesting since it's mostly Japanese restaurants and a few other random assorted shops (why are there no shops that sell Japanese fashion?!? *pulls out hair*) but yeah. It's better than having nothing I guess. Especially since I'm not allowed to set foot in Japan till like 10 years later thanks to my family's obsession with radiation and whatnot. :'(

The whole "street" was really cramped and small; either they wanted to recreate the whole Tokyo scene or they just ran out of space to build the shops. Lol. Luckily when we went there on a Friday there were not many people or we'd probably have been squashed like sardines during the weekends ww.

Me and Angel. Taken during Japanese class /o/

The huge signboard announcing the number of shops in Tokyo Street

Ohai we are at Tokyo Street right now :D

Random photo of a tanabata wish I saw hanging on the board. The drawing is so cute >w<

Had Tori Katsu Don at Tokyo Don for lunch. It tastes kind of normal so I can't really justify paying RM26++ for it =3=///

Shimino Crepes!!! Nom nom nom ♥

Sadly my ice-cream inside the crepe fell halfway through while I was trying to tear away the paper wrapping FML :<

Camwhoring in the toilet. And yes, I did notice the "no photography" sign on the mirror LOL (which is not shown here cause I cropped it away keke).

After walking around we got bored and so we went to watch "Cowboys And Aliens" which was by the way a horrendous and huge failure of a movie that made no sense at all whatsoever so I advice you guys not to watch it. Ever. Unless you have an obsession with cowboys. Or aliens.

Dinner at Michelangelo's with Azri and Angel~

Love eating carbonara cause it's creamy but I dislike eating bacon. Can't they put some other meat on it? TAT

Pouting cause I'm broke after spending so much money on food :'(

Coordinate of the day sans shoes; And yes I'm not very good at tying bows .___.

Usamimi-Bonita; Top & shorts bought by my dad in China; Bag-Momoe; Shoes-Marie Claire

PS: I want to eat red bean mocchi from Mocchi Sweets @ Tokyo Street! It was sold out the day I went there. Someone please buy some for me? *sad face* :x

Hone Onna ft Arisa;

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 10:16:00 +0000

First of all I would like to wish all my Malaysian readers a very happy Merdeka day and Selamat Hari Raya! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

It's the festive season once again and everybody's outside celebrating while I'm here in my room updating my blog (I have a sad life I know). *laughs*

Anyhow, I was invited by Kuzu-nii to tag along for my incredibly beautiful and sexy and gorgeous friend Arisa's cosplay photoshoot of Hone Onna from Jigoku Shoujo last Monday so I could finally learn how to use a DSLR properly instead of just using "automode" even though I've been using DSLRs for like... years. ._____.

Originally the shoot was supposed to like start at 6.30am but because I kind of woke up late (sorry!) and because it was also raining so the shoot got postponed to like... 9 something ww. (It was really scary to wake up to 55 miss calls on my phone LOL)

This is my first time taking photos for a shoot so comments and critiques are very much appreciated~! ><///

Hone Onna; the woman in the blue kimono.

who has been waiting to find happiness all her life.

but that day will never come.

for she has been condemned to die.

slowly slowly she sinks into the river.

as she merges with the spirits within the water.

and becomes the beautiful demon which seduces men for eternity.

Hone Onna: Arisa

Photography & editting by me

Cameras used: Canon 600D (mine) and Kuzu-nii's Canon 1D-Mark III (for the last photo because I forgot to charge my camera the day before GG)

Extras;

work in progress; cherrie and kuzuryu taking shots of the lovely arisa

Korean Music Wave 2011 (part 1)

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:56:00 +0000

I finally got my lazy ass moving and edited all the photos I took at Korean Music Wave 2011~! Yes this is like a super belated post since the concert was in July but...... Oh well. *coughs*

For those of you who do not know, KMW 2011 is a KPOP concert that was held in SG that had ten groups of KPOP idols in attendance. Yes. TEN. It's that epic. The artist lineup included FT Island, Touch, X-5, Dal Shabet, The Boss, U-Kiss, Miss A, Teen Top, and...... BIG BANG AND 2NE1!!! *spazzes like crazy* ♥

I'm very thankful to my darling Linaria for helping me purchase the tickets (mosh pit tickets ftw) and her friends also came really early to line up for the concert so I could watch my beloved idols at a really close distance! I was like... around the third row from the stage? Super close! Except there was this ridiculously tall guy that stood in front of me and blocked my view half of the time. *grumbles*

Unfortunately many of the photos I took that day were rather blurry because I couldn't sneak my DSLR into the concert venue so I used my mini compact digital cam instead. :'(

Now onwards to the photos! (For all you fangirls out there please do not nosebleed all over my page ^^)

Queuing~ This is the "first batch" aka the early birds!

I spent like 4 hours here stoning while waiting for the concert hall to open but I guess it's not that bad compared to my other friends who waited for a longer time just to be here! (cause I like woke up at 12pm then came here to cut the queue :x)

Cutie pie Lina-chan *w*

Seriously this is the first time I met her in real life! Originally I became friends with her through Aika because we were in the same guild and stuff and I discovered she was a fellow V.I.P and we started talking about this concert and stuff and well... It ended up this way. Love her max hehe!

Waiting for the concert to start /o/o/

See that guy with the mohawk-ish hairstyle? He was the one that was blocking me the entire time during the concert! He's like freaking tall :'(

And the concert begins~!!!

The emcees for the day; Kevin from U-Kiss, Min from Miss A... and the two other dudes at the side whom I have no idea who they are ><

FT Island was the opening band for the concert!

Seunghyun and Minhwan! *swoons*

I love watching FT Island perform!!! Hongki's voice is like seriously amazing and I love how the entire band performed live and they are all so goodlooking and and.... >///<

TOUCH; A new rookie group that had like flashing LED lights on their jackets while they performed! (not in this photo)

Dal Shabet; I really like their debut song Supa Dupa Diva! Super adorable!

X-5; another rookie group with super tall members and cool dance moves.

The BOSS; I only know their Japanese songs so I couldn't really sing along to their KPOP ones but they are so freaking shota looking and cute and... ;3;

TEEN TOP all dressed in yellow. Neil has a face like a porcelain doll wtf.

Goodbye baby goodbye~

It's Miss A!!! This is like the second time I'm watching them perform live and they are like seriously good. I love Jia and Min and Fei and Suzy!!!

OMG IT'S SUZY!

While Miss A were performing Suzy came to my part of the stage and she stood like directly in front of my row like wtf omg!!!! *inserts happy fangirl scream*

U-Kiss will you kiss me? 8D

Maknae Dongho's solo rap part in 0330! My boy is so grown up now *teary eyes*

And the eighth group to perform was U-Kiss all dressed in pure white. *Jiii* Can you guess who are the two remaining groups left? 8DD

Korean Music Wave 2011 (part 2) coming up next! :)

Japanese Class

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 13:49:00 +0000

Recently I've been taking Japanese classes at ICLS~! ♪

I used to take Japanese classes at my secondary school a long long time ago but because it had clashing schedules with my French classes at the time plus the fact that I didn't really like the teacher that was teaching us Japanese so I stopped after a while. But since I have plenty of free time right now so I thought I'd take it up again! ^^

I bought many cute notebooks and a cute mechanical pencil with a cat charm on it for class! *laugh*

I really like my teachers at ICLS because they are all Japanese plus they keep changing teachers for every slot so I won't get bored looking at the same face over and over again! I also got Angel to join me so I wouldn't be bored there all alone. Learning Japanese is really fun! /o/

Taking notes in Japanese. I am secretly obsessed with staring at the hiragana I write because it's so cute and tiny! ><///

I'm almost done with memorizing all the hiragana letters! Next is katakana and then someday.... kanji! Dun dun dun. Hopefully I'll be able to finish learning Japanese up to the advanced level before I start my degree because I won't have any time to learn anymore once I go to university ww

My goal is to be able to watch anime without subtitles someday as well as being able to read Japanese magazines without translations! Wish me luck! Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ

Of life and failures

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:40:00 +0000

私わ失敗です。でもこれは私のせいだから、私は絶対泣かない。涙はだめです。

So I got back my A Level results today. And let's just say..... It was a horrible big failure. I have no one but myself to blame because I was too confident in getting As without studying for so many exams. It was also my fault for being so obsessed with Aika I even continued playing when everyone else was getting ready for the papers. It's my fault for being so lazy. Therefore I guess this is my wake up call to reality? Or more like a huge slap to my face. But either way, as the saying goes, pride comes before fall. I've learnt my lesson.

More than being disappointed with myself, I felt more sad at disappointing my parents, especially my father. He spent so much money sending me to a "good college" in the hopes that I will excel but the results that I've gotten for my A Levels are less than satisfactory. I didn't fail but... I didn't get a single A either (even though my Economics was 1 mark away from an A #@^^$%$^%*#). Anyhow, I just feel really bad right now. I wish I could turn back time and do this all over again, but life doesn't work that way does it?

From now on, I'm going to try my best to study for my degree, whatever it may be. It will be hard, since I'm the kind who hates studying the most in the world, but I will try. This is my promise to myself. Before I ruin my life even further.

PS: Please don't bother to reply to this post. I just want to get these feelings off my chest. I don't really need or want words of encouragement or whatever. Thanks.

My new camera! ☆

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 17:00:00 +0000

Just when you all have decided to give up on me never posting again and renouncing my blog as dead for good.... I would like to announce... I'M BACK! ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

Yes it is my fault for succumbing to the evils of online gaming and not blogging for a long long time, but I've finally realized that online games are a waste of time and I should like totally stop playing them! (till the next interesting one comes out *cough*)

Anyhow, this blogpost of mine is dedicated to my new DSLR! Tadahs! In my previous blog posts I said I stopped using my old DSLR (Sony A200) because of some issues and my papa decided to get me a new one. So now I present to you my lovely new DSLR, the Canon 600D! *claps hands*

(Left-Sony A200 ; Right-Canon 600D)

Of course you guys will be wondering... What's the difference between the two DSLRs? Well, with my new camera it has a swiveling screen that is easier for me to camwhore because I can like... look at myself while I snap photos now. Kekeke. Plus the Canon 600D has a HD video recording function which means I can take randomly useless videos of myself too! Isn't that awesome?! :D

I'm totally in love with my new camera (except for the fact that it's really big and bulky and heavy) so expect to see lots of pretty photos soon! Teehees!

Also, please follow my Facebook page here! ♥

Bai now! *waves madly*

C2AGE 2011

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Mon, 30 May 2011 15:25:00 +0000

Last Saturday I attended C2AGE 2011 which was another one of those cosplay events that's been popping up all over Malaysia recently because I wanted to visit my friends that I've missed so much plus I'm going for 2AM's Showcase later that night so I figured what the heck and just went.

Truthfully, I hated that event. It was incredibly boring and I had nothing to do except talk to my friends and I realized that I could not recognize 90% of the cosplayers that attended the event that day. *shocks* Am I growing old? Or have I been so out of touch with the cosplay scene that I can't even recognize the new cosplayers anymore? T___T

So instead of roaming around the event area lost and bored, I ended up talking about Aika with Makie and Squallie in some fast food joint for about 2 hours. Trololol. Aika addicts. OTL

Lots of camwhore photos ahead! /o/

Chibi Lydia as Rin from Togainu No Chi <3

Me and my bishie Yuxuan /o/

Uke uke uke uke uke Akira *___*

Super pretty Pili cosplay by Kiwi~!

Guki mama as Miku (oh the greenness!)

Eddie who loves pink more than I do -3-

Aiko, Suz, and me

Hehe Mary and her little lamb *coughmecough*

Then after that I went for 2AM's Showcase which was awesome and their voices were amazing and I'm super jealous of the fans that got to hug MY Jinwoon and Jokwon! T____T

Blurry photo of them is blur :'(

I'm still waiting for my beloved Big Bang to come to Malaysia. Why oh why will YG not come to our country? They always perform in Thailand and Singapore but never Malaysia. Why?!?! TT

Polka dot addiction

noreply@blogger.com (kawaiiism) — Thu, 26 May 2011 07:36:00 +0000

My dear lovely wonderful blog readers... I'm so sorry that I've not been updating my blog lately (omg I just realized that it's been an entire month!!!). :'( I'm currently sitting for my A Level final exams as well as still being obsessive over Aika so I didn't have the mood to post in my blog. I'm sorry. Please do not give up on me! *clings* TT

Anyway, here's a coordinate post on what I wore to C2AGE 2011 and 2AM's showcase. I wore something light due to the incredibly hot weather in Malaysia :'(

My lovely eyebags courtesy of playing Aika the night before. OTL

*lousy shot of my coordinate at The Ship's washroom*

Headband-Bonita; Tshirt-Uniqlo; Skirt from China; Pouch-Coach; Shoes-Vincci

In case you're wondering why I'm not using my DSLR anymore, it's because there's been a problem with it ever since my brother used it in Hong Kong so I don't like using it anymore. OTL A full post about the two events will be uploaded soon! 8D

PS: I have just replied all the questions on my Formspring that I haven't been checking in a while including the one from Whooga so you can check for your replies there. Thanks!
