haikara;

Yesterday, I woke up to a pretty Saturday afternoon.


Won't you agree?

Kemu came by for lunch;
feeling the need to satisfy my sandwich-lust, we popped over to Subways.

They heated my cookies for me!
I am happy customer! :D

We then headed off to the place of the day - Haikara!
It's a nice Japanese bakery-cafe near Carrefour near SS15 :)

Parked outside the area illegally, shh!

It's Tokiya snapping most of the lovely picture by the way :D

Welcome to Haikara!



Notice Kemu and I behind?
We were flirting with the resident cats ;D

Haikara's secluded entrance!


For those who plan to visit ;)


The aforementioned resident cats!
Sooo cute okay?


SOOO CUUTE OKAY?!?!?


The cake rolls there are naaaaise *__*


Very naise *_*


Tokiya did some snapping around - loving his shots!
It started raining awhile later, so some shots were pretty dark +
I edited them to be darker because the atmosphere there was so dreamy!

The bakery owner and a customer :) Friendly chap!


Pretty pastries :) All homemade and fresh!


Christmas decorations were already up! ♥
Loved them a lot :)
The atmosphere there is so chillax and zen;
best place to chill!


While Tokiya busied himself with my camera;
we busied ourselves with his iPhone games 8D


More kitty love ♥







iPhone games are the shiz!
See my srs face yo.


Bought myself a melon-pan, a cheese bun and a packet of butter rolls before leaving.

Afternoon well spent!

Depression waves have been hitting me recently.
I get depressed over the weirdest things -
or at least, I'm trying to give myself reasons for the depression.

Got depressed watching LeeJoon's performance at which he kept falling down due to an injured knee - where the performance ended with the other members helping him off stage :(

Got depressed listening to someone's emorant :( Life is so unfair.
Not to me - but it hurts a lot seeing someone so important to me all stressed up!

Got depressed over money.
I'm not that broke anymore, but I need to settle my rent 8D
And my ego does not allow me to ask from my parents at the moment.

Got depressed over not being able to talk to Reno.
Am trying not to. Am denying it.

But I'm fine now :)
Had someone chat me up over my future clouded decisions and advise me on them;
Had someone cheer me up over the internet in the most retardedly cute ways possible;
Had someone pull me into the sinking ship of online shopping - this time for PERFUMES;

God, thank you so much! ♥

ningar;

Happy Friliday people :)
Hope you had a good start to the long weekend ahead!

My horoscope says I should hang out with friends today;
was one step ahead! Already planned to have a nice lunch with everyone :)

Supposed to wake up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay earlier to jog;
but it never happened :/
My early-morning jogging plans ALWAYS fail.

So we headed over to Ninja Joe's for an awesome burger lunch!
Good burgers were good!

Had original and black pepper ninja burgers; with lemonade.

- and a shuriken! Mashed potato and pork; they are the shiz!

*random: Top was a mishap from Kidchan and I's online shopping spree 8D
We gave the wrong code; and Kidchan didn't want it so I bought it off her 8D
I likes it~♥

Watched Ninja Assassin with Charmaine and Jarold after lunch and a bit of window shopping.

NINJAR ASSASSHIN YO.
We used to laugh at the name, saying how funny it was to put ninja and assassin together since they both mean the same - until we realized that Rain was actually an assassin assassinating ninjas. Touché, movie title, touché.

Initally only wanted to watch the movie because of the name;
but I later found out that sexy Lee Joon was playing teenage Raizo,
and Rain's abs were undoubtly awesomely hot in the movie,
= MUST WATCH.

Lee Joon who?
Meet sexy-ab boi >)
Member of Korean boyband MBLAQ.


Slightly disappointed he didn't flash his abs in the movie;
but Rain's abs made up for that.
Rain's body = ultimade sex; at least, that's what I thought throughout the entire movie 8D

Suprisingly, Joon had a lot more screen time than I assumed he'd get.
My fangirl heart appreciated it ♥


Another thing I appreciated was that Rain and Joon actually spoke pretty chun English!
Not chun like I'mEngrand; but in a cute Korean accent way :3

On a non-fangirl note;
The movie was visual orgasm of blood and action.
Loved the fighting scenes; less gun fight and more ninja going on >)
Shurikens, swords, some awesome weapon I do not know the name for, and much face smashing.

And blood. Lots of blood.
The reviews weren't kidding when they said it was Rain-ing blood.

Next movies to catch; New Moon and Avatar!

~megumi@garintheshadows~

Mmm, before I head off;
For those of you who've congratulated me on winning the MSC grant
-but have no idea how the game is like;
do read up over here!

Please continue to support us! :3 ♥

aftermaths;

I have evolved into a sloth with a horrible command of English after AFA.

Tokiya's England is influencing mine.
Watching Peter Chao videos DO. NOT. HELP.
At all :(

Woke up to parcels in the mail this morning! ♥
2 of my winter coats are here!
They're lovely!
Waiting for my last 2 to arrive :3

Went for lunch at Pyramid,
bought pink boots to go with one of my pink coats ._.
I'mnotashopaholic.I'mnotashopaholic.

Saw Kidchan when I got home ♥
Was very ronery when she was still at Singapore.
She revamped the workspace, so I cleaned up too!

Thought of displaying my Mikus finally;
but when I thought of the many people who would come over;
and defile them - maybe not :/

Took the Nendoroid out of her box for the first time;
it's so amazingly pretty ♥_♥


Mikus; from two very important people in my life :)

~megumi@chillaxing~

afa09; awesome.fabulous.amazing!

Headsup!

This is not a proper full-fledged event report.
This is just me, going to Anime Festival Asia with a bunch of lovely people, and having fun.
This is just a post to scribble my memories onto; so I'll never forget the awesome experience.

19th November 2009;

Spent the day making props with Kazeki and Yen.
Had a bruise from the GAR-metal-scissors - from cutting through 20+ layers of paper for my pompoms.
Kero came over later with cookies and brownies *__*
A lot of insults were thrown around, it was a good last minute prop making session :D

After dinner, we wrapped up.
Kero and I stayed up till 3am and headed to the airport.

20th November 2009;

Took a photo with the ronery trashcan at the airport while everyone else was checking in 8D;


Had McDonalds for breakfast! ♥
Egg McMuffin dripped all over my arm D:


We were late for boarding, so we ran a million miles like mad people to catch the plane.

I'm not exaggerating.
We were running with hand-held luggage and horribly-heavy flyers.
It so happened that out plane was situated right at the end of that long pathway.

I don't think I've exercised that much in a while! D:

The trip was really fast, an hour didn't seem that long.
We got to see the sunrise from the plane too! ♥

Photo taken by Pukwong; using Kero's camera; BLISS ♥

This is me after staying up for one whole night + intense early morning exercise;

- and that's Kero and Kazeki next to me.
Us being all rockstar chio in the taxi heading to our nice hostel at Singapore :D

I died on the bed after we checked in.
Missed lunch,
woke up to play some card and board games,
and headed out to Suntec Convention Center with Toki and Kero to set up Comic Fiesta's booth.

Hardworking people setting the booth up.


I was working hard too!


Aniki was practicing next-door while we set up the booth;
it just made our job so much more satisfying and worth it ♥

Right opposite our booth was a really cute booth selling REALLY CUTE HATS!
Went over to try some hats out and talked to the nice booth owners :)
Booked some hats to bring home the next day! >D

Checked out some sales and whatnots happening in Suntec before dinner.

Dinner was - SABA! ♥

Bumped into Chocolime and Calvin so we ate together :)

While waiting for the bus back;

I wonder if UK will also be so beautifully illuminated when I'm there?

The night was spent in lame and chitchat excitement.

21st November 2009;

First day of AFA!
We reached the hall pretty late.

Paid for the hats Kero and I booked and took a picture with the lovely people who made them!


Was handing out flyers for the CF booth;
so I didn't get to go chill around much.

Did hop over to check out the Regional Cosplay Competition;
Where we saw Kaname cosplaying as GAR!Simon.
SO FUCKING HOT *_*
The contestants were also really hot/awesome/amazing *_*
Stageful of awesome people!

Still had a pretty awesome time when I did get my breaks!
Kemu as Jo from Bakuten; me as Kagami. Propswitch - BADASS!


More propswitch and famiry picture! ♥


Don't know my Gundams but this was PINK! So, obligatory shot 8D


Sometime through the day, we heard from someone that Kaname was near the karaoke booths, so we ran over. But by the time we reached he had to leave :(
Serah did drop a "Kaname-san kakkoii!" at which he patted her and said thank you.
I think I melted then.

Victor did get an autograph for me *O* Thank Victor!


Checked out Shokotan's live before dinner :D She's so adorable! Plus, she sounds really good live!
I can't remember what happened after because my body was dying at that point.

22 November 2009;

Some of us woke up earlier in hopes of making to Kaname's Panel session.
Didn't get to make it though :(
Was pretty stressed over my costume that day as well.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped me with it that day!

Obligatory picture with the poster! :)


Had a lot of fun giving out flyers in a bunny suit :P
The flyers went so much more faster 8D
Despite getting some horrible looks from certain parents; other parents were more than happy to let their kids take picture with a girl with cute bunny ears :)
Was really happy hearing people exclaim when they recognized my character ♥
And when other cosplayers told me the costume was nice ♥
Perks and the best parts of cosplaying!

Ran after a really cute Yukimura cosplayer for a picture;

After the photo, he told me I was pretty - bonus points for him! ♥
- and please to ignore my retarded tongue. I was really happy okay!? Coz he went off so fast I thought I couldn't get a picture :x

Heels were killing me halfway through,
I was either resting at the booth or handing out flyers at the alley nearby.
Aniki dropped by the booth one and the group had a picture with him! ♥
My ribbon was lopsided then though :x

Despite dying feet, Kero came running telling me Kaname was around - I don't think I've ever ran so fast on heels before.
Kaname was cosplaying Cloud that day, and when we turned into the alley he was already surrounded.
Didn't squeeze in fast enough to talk to him or get a picture;
but I did manage to pass him a flyer and ask him to please come to Malaysia!

- with all that, my life is pretty awesomely complete!

At the end of the trip
My legs died,
My throat was sore,
My mood was swinging very badly and I was super-dead-tired.

But it was one of the best weekends I've ever had.
One of the best event I've been to this year!

Am really glad to have seen Kaname, Shokotan, Aniki, Alodia and Danny live!

Some cosplayers who really made my day!
Jubia from Fairy Tail
Hope Estheim from Final Fantasy XIII
Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin - badass awesome!
Lucifer from Angel Sanctuary - epic wings are epic. I think I'm in love.
Ulala from Space Channel 5 - oldschool but so nicely done ♥
Sanada Yukimura from Sengoku Basara - cute guy with flowery words? 'nuff said ;P
Vocaloids from Grave of the Scarlet Dragon - epic costumes all around yo!

23 November 2009;

Dead tired.
Dead happy tired.

Am really thankful for the people who have made my trip memorable :)
To Kero who was there for everything;
To Kaz for organizing;
To Tokiya for cheering me up;
To Kemu for being so chillax and supportive;
To Serah - who stayed with us and sent us off;
- and everyone else :) for being there ♥

Now, onwards to Comic Fiesta?
After I take more time hibernating.

~megumi@afalicious~

p/s: Victor pimped this to me: Photo on GameAxis Online! *O*

that only frog ♥

Just like a spoilt, bratty, selfish princess;
I can never EVER live without that special frog in my life.

Especially when I don't have a prince.

That frog is my one and all.


Yes.
My only frog.
