For the first time.

I think I know what a hole in your heart feels like. I feel a little confused and wondering when this entire thing managed to get to me.

Wondering when did I let my guard down for all this to have happened.

I have a hole in my heart, and it’s just getting bigger.

The attempt to not think too much.

In the attempt to not think TOO much of a certain person incident that seems to affect me a little more than I would have wanted it to…

dlspeed1.jpg

My download speed broke the limit :D (it’s capped at 300.0 KiB/S and I watched it go up to 315.1. On the bad note, my GE is dying. Downloads eating up the connection lol. And I didn’t know S.F.A had Toccata and Fugue in D.

Sometimes I just look at GE and laugh, because I remember the times the 4 of us used to play, and had so much fun, over simple silly things like going to Tetra Treasure Chamber, killing the El Tejado Verde boss (which poses no more threat anymore lol) and wanting to rush to get the Levitation Stance (LOL) where there were so many silly things we could laugh about.

Yes, I’m being nostalgic.

Blame it on reading Vampire Hunter D (”Transient guests, are we”) and all that jazz.

Anyway. I have a huge-ass list of things that I need to do. And fast, too. Especially if I want to get it done before August and all.

  • Buy pool cue (anyone wanna come with me? :D)
  • Get Gamma’s coat (and armour and all that jazz) done
  • Get Blonde wig (buy or loan x_x) for Gamma
  • Acquire this wig for Seiju (Shiomi, help me out with this?)
  • Poke Deru about DOLLS pins ._.
  • Finish reading Vampire Hunter D (4 down, 5 and 6 to go x_x)

And I’ve actually contemplated cosplaying this. It’s madness. Yes, don’t ask. I have no idea how I got talked into cosplaying this either. Maybe I should put them on the list?

  • Tric Gamma - Katekyo Hitman Reborn (KHR)
  • Xanxus - KHR
  • Seiju Shikibu - DOLLS (which I have no idea when I’ll do this actually orz)
  • Dante Sparda - DMC4
  • Balalaika - Black Lagoon (oh dear god)

Montoro and. Uhm. Yeah. Still have that one secret project with my 4 collaborators. Oh well.
In other news:

Went over to IAH cafe yesterday (again) to play CW (not that there WAS any CW), it was a bit awkward and all but bleargh. Don’t want to talk about it, really. Makes me feel damn stupid in a way.

But yes. No CW, instead, Eminence goes to Ice Wizard Tower. And honestly? It’s utter CHAOS. Ice Wizard Tower gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’. Or at least, a Glacial Valkyrie. I would have taken an even more amusing screencap, just that I was at the cafe and couldn’t. There’d be a bigger impact if you could actually see the names. And I was running around ressing people more often than not (wthell my musket can survive their Quake).

Yes, yes, Glacial Valkyries are… amusing. Frost cloud, quake, and what else. It’s like they’re an ele and wiz all rolled into one.

They were farming black magic stones. We have a total of about what, 115 or so now? I dunno.

And I have to pack my room soon. It’s getting a tad messy again what with the Hellgate launch bag still sitting around my room and all.

And goddamnnit Max (and now Tico) stop teasing me about that already zzzzzzzzz.

I hate stupid people.

Especially stupid people who LOVE to blame others for everything else. Just because I warped into the place, does not mean I a) am obligated to res your characters, b) saw your characters at all, or c) should take the blame just because my warp location just so happened to be right in front of you.

Okay?

Stupid.

Learn to relog, newfag. You’ve played for so long and yet something like this also dunno how to do.

Oh, damn.

I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve wanted to talk to someone, but yet I don’t know what to talk to them about.

Damn.

Scary Joker is freaking goddamn scary.

Like Zymz says. I don’t know which is scarier, Joker, or Joker is a freaking goddamn NURSE uniform. Well, yeah. It was a nice show, tho honestly I’m scared about the freaking Joker. The guy’s nuts.

I really do hate clowns.

But yeah. It’s worth a watch. Kinda sad in the ending tho. Makes you sympathize with the dark knight and all. It’s that last time that he says, that makes me realize Batman really did sacrifice a lot for the city. I think I nearly cried when Commissioner Gordon explained to his son why Batman had to run.

Joker is fucking scary though. I think this is the probably the first time I’ve been so scared while watching a non-horror movie. He seriously scared the crap out of me. Dear God I hope I don’t get nightmares tonight. But yeah. But he IS an awesome actor though.

Anyway.

Outing was fun. Went to watch Batman (hence the above Batman ramble) with Jess, YY, Alex, JX, and Xiong, (went Ikea for lunch first tho, and Sugata popped over too), then went over to IAH cafe after the movie to hang out and stuff, ended up going ST but DCed halfway (lol) end up camping my second elementalist in FT (woot free entry with premium buff :D) and all. Hanging out with faction guys is really fun.

Uhm. Yeah.

And I just got home, because this nut here decided to stay on and watch the 10pm Secret Temple. Lol.

And I’m still kind of not used to calling some people by real names. Geh.

I lie back and stare up at the sky, and wonder if everything is really all right.

Firstly there shall be utter rambling.

Actually no. I shall put that till last. Because my blog doesn’t have an LJ-cut function (it just cuts everything from that point on so… yeah).

I am suddenly having this impulse to buy a pool cue. Oh dear. Gamma <3 Hehehe. But yeah, I suspect they’re vaguely expensive and I’m not keen on having to carry an expensive-ish staff out when I go for shoots and the like or something. Buhwek.

And my HDD is being VERY WORRISOME INDEED.

In random other news. Those of you who remember me rambling about a guy Sano at cosfest? Yes. Turns out he’s my NEIGHBOUR. QUITE LITERALLY. Lives about 5 minutes walk from my place. The heck. Singapore’s really damn small.

Anyway. What I was going to say. Yes.

A conclusion after… what, two years?

Gwen is utterly not suited for cosplaying teenaged characters. I look… better as an Oyaji. Or an adult male. But not a teenage male. Hehe.

Hence, I think I might retire my Kokuyou uniform early… =X Or something. Who knows? Teenage kids are so not my cosplay speciality. Bearded oyaji’s are. :D

Anyway. I was reading Devil May Care, no, it’s not Dante related, it’s the new James Bond novel by Sebastian Faulks. It’s relatively nice. Well, yeah. I don’t really know how to describe it. The ending was a bit… weird though. A bit of plot discontinuity. I mean… (spoilers under cut lol). Read the rest of this entry »

  • Schedule DGM shoot (asfgld I love my Timcampi :D)

I’m thinking of next year’s costumes as well =X So many w-whut. I dunno, after seeing some… horrible versions of some. I think I might do. Buhwek. Will probably list… or something.

I love checklists.

Oh and since I’m at it: I got bored today and made these:

Vongola vs Kokuyou (Both of which are missing a few here and there on either side).Notice how all the Kokuyou have POINTY SHOES :D Hahahahahaha. I think my shoes sank into the ground or someting =X Bleargh.

Yeah. The entire point of this post was for that photo. :D

The aftermath of Cosfest, at least, part of it.

It’s been a couple of extremely busy days.

But before I start.

Semua burung adalah binatang; tetapi bukan semua binatang itu burung!

(Yes, you may laugh now). Uhm. I shall not translate because it’s funnier this way. 8D

I am tired. I am really, really tired. Two days of running around, binding, and rushing for events and the like, and most of all, having fun. It’s good, really. I saw GE cosers (sponsored by IAH lawl) on both days, and was joking with the Musketeer about Bareknuckle level 25 lol.

Anyway.

Cosfest is awesome. I had awesome luck; on the first day I found an entire AG team:

08.jpg

Simca the Swallow, Flame King Spitfire, Aeon Clock Sano Yasuyoshi, Thunder King Nue, Benkei, Sora Takeuchi, Fang King Agito/Akito, Future Flame King Kazuma Mikura, Pledge King Sumeragi Kururu

Photo by Shiro Ang

And on the second day I found a lot of Reborn cosers! I’ll upload a pic later when I find one though. Okay first day. Let me elaborate a bit on Cosfest.

I left the house around… 10-ish I think? Got changed and all after picking people etc etc. And ran around a bit. I NEVER expected to see an AG team, tho by luck I ran into a Simca who dragged me to meet all the AG people. Heh.

Anyway.

RIKA IS FREAKING AWESOME. She sang Nico Nico Douga (wtfish 10 minutes 13 songs). The rest are… decent. Whoever sang Ash Like Snow, OH GOD OW. My ears. Redemption was equally bad. Ash Like Snow was MONOTONE. Redemption was… ear-piercing. God no.

I think I ran after that because my ears couldn’t take it. Nico Nico Douga saved my ears.

Yeah.

And oh my god. Guy Sano, TALL LIKE HELL SRSLY, and pretty bishie. :D I am happy, I has Apollon Road photo now. I just need to, uh, find it. Hehe.

But yes.

Will update about day 2 when I actually FIND photos. My feet are half dead from day 2.

[ EDIT ]

Apparently, I am EXTREMELY social when I am not dressed as myself, in costume, and at events. Oh dear.

Movies and the like.

Went to watch Hancock with some of the EMN guys (YY, Jess, JX, Alex) despite the fact I STILL have a prop unfinished (=_=) I don’t regret watching it tho, it’s pretty awesome. It’s a bit reminiscent of Superman, albeit more human. You can more or less relate to it.

Yeah. Now I have one final unfinished prop. AAAAAAAAAA. Must collect costume today too. And meet up with the folks and stuff. Thank god the outing isn’t tonight. I dont think I actually would have strength. =X

And my Claymore figurine came in yesterday. It’s awesomely pretty. I utterly love this version of her costume. Too awesome. The detailing on the figurine is love too.

Okay.

I think I shall go back to rushing my prop. I hate those goddamn leaves. So irritating to do. But stil possible. Bah.

Anyway.

My HDD is dying.

One of my two externals is making weird, strange noises. So I’m transferring everything out (70 gb of music =_=) and into my other HDD and making plans to get a new HDD because. Well. 200GB isn’t enough.

Anyway.

While I really should be sleeping…

I just started on my spear. I hope it won’t be too big. Bleargh.

And now to pray my HDD holds out for an hour to transfer. One hour per day per transfer. Gah.

Toycon, EMINENCE, IAH cafe, and colony wars.

I got bored. And I went to Toycon. And headed towards the Wizards of the Coast booth to learn Magic: The Gathering. See how bored I was? Hehe.

Anyway. Two days of Toycon. Did Spitfire on the second day (buhwek need to fix the hair and stuff, I got lazy to style), but I love the furry coat. Hehehe. Jess has a semi-decent pic of it lol. Where I still look weird coz I has unstyled hair hahaha. Yeah. I’ll fix it for photoshoots.

That, and Dist and I have a photo with Gary Erskine (I nearly typed that into Einwind wtf) because we were in costume. I is happy whee. I feel kinda happy and honored to uhm. Yeah. *silly*

Photo by Miyun

Self as Spitfire and Shiomi as Kazu (haha Hoodies unite!) Oversaturated pics are <3 kinda.

Went over to IAH Cafe to meet up with the faction-mates after the event. I went over around… 4-ish. Hehe. There were so many EMN people there =O I apparently freaked a few of them with my red eyes =X oops?

Damnnit Mau I’m not a vampire =_= Donny’s reaction the best, he jumped back lawl. So funny. And I have seriously horrible memory. I said hi to SH and Ronnie, then paused and went: “Ehh who’s that =X”. I have crap memory lawl.

This is EMN! IAH Cafe 290608
Photo by Sugata (who isn’t in the photo, obviously)

Hehe.

From left to right: SuperHeroine, Paperheartz (Ronnie), OuYang, WhiteDeath (Lee), xBrotherHoodx (Daren), Orlong (Wilson), Grando, Nostradamus (Donny), Judy, Mauser (Maumau XD), EspadaLords (JJ), Toutaku, Yamazuki (Alex), Asomyrcal (me lol), TornNie (Max), AngelicaHeart (Jane). Sugata (Terence) not in there, he’s taking the photo. His camera damn diskarding =_=

There were a few who left immediately after CW, those who aren’t there are…

Jenheart (Lona), Rozenvelt (Jessjess), Reino (Vinvin) who isn’t in faction any more D=

I think. I dunno if I missed anyone. Yeah, we don’t need TS. Ask Daren or Donny stand up yell can already. LAWL. After CW, they said they wanted LeBar, but… ended up going to Raining Bar. Before going there, went to supper with SH, Grando, Paperheartz, Toutaku, and Judy. Janejane came to join us later. I dunno why I decided to tag along with this other group instead of going into the bar coz I wasn’t hungry but I guess I’d rather hang out outside the place than inside? =X

Anyway. I dunno why, but I haven’t been touching alcohol much these days ever since last time LeBar lawl. No idea why. Si Daren go mix Macallan with water diskarding =X

Anyway Cosfest this week. Prop-crunch time. I haven’t started on my spear, lawl.
