Comic Fiesta Mini '13

On the 3rd and 4th of August, there was an ACG event in Penang called Comic Fiesta Mini (2013).
My sister, my friend + her younger bro and I went for the event~ ◔◡◔
It's not often that Penang has ACG events so, we just had to go.

Overall, I think it was okay. Quite boring if you were to go alone - in my opinion.
The cosplay competition was quite good too. Chibi Mikasa was quite amusing and cute! (^◡^ )
Oh and King x Mon were quite cool to gawk at LOL. ♡

Here's my only loot during the event~



I got a Free!'s Rin badge and a Shingeki no Kyojin's Levi doujin poster. ≥︺‿︺≤
They're made by Mandachan.

Oh, and I cosplayed as a casual Kagamine Rin on the 1st day. ★★★
And that's all~

Picking Up Drums ♫

A few months ago (around April or May, I'm not sure), I picked up drumming with lessons.
I've tried guitar and violin before and they weren't exactly my cup of tea. Ahah.
I mean, sure, I love the sounds of the violin and guitar but I just suck at playing them.
I had no passion nor did I feel my heart beat with fire when I played them. ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

So. After becoming a fan of One Ok Rock, I began to watch and listen to Tomoya's drumming - subconsciously. I never really notice that I love the beat of the drums this much until now. ☆
After much debate with myself, about taking up drums or not, I decided to just do it.
I didn't have that many months left until I left for KL to start my degree. And I knew that I'd, most probably, be working after I'm done with my degree. So, there wasn't much time for me to learn a new instrument during or after college.

It has been about 2 - 3 months since I started drumming.
And I absolutely love every minute of it - more than I did with guitars and violins. ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ
Unfortunately, I'll be stopping my lessons this month due to moving away to KL. So, boo.
I really dread for the day that I have to part with drums. Because I don't own a set of it yet, so I can't practice at all when I'm in KL - unless I find a studio or a music place that allows me to rent the drums to practice. (；▽；)

I do plan on getting a part time job but that depends on my schedule.
So, boo, again. Ughhhh. ヽ(●ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ●)ﾉ I regretted not picking up drumming in my early years, so much.

That aside. I poked around YouTube for any One Ok Rock drum covers.
Or any of my favourite songs' drum covers. ♡
These are just a few of my personal favourites (in no particular order)~

New Tumblr → Chayuhime ★

A couple of weeks ago, I opened a Michishige Sayumi fan blog called Chayuhime. ヽ(愛´∀｀愛)ノ
Click this link to check the blog out → here.



I did a moderate/heavy editing based on the original theme made by Yukoki.
(You can check out the Credits as for where I took all the sources from.)

Theme aside.
I know there are other various Sayumi (or even, Hello! Project) blogs out there.
But I really wanted my own. So, I plucked up my courage and made one~ ♥
Sayumi has been such an inspiration and joy to me that I just had to have a fan blog of her.
I visit Chayuhime almost every day, just to look back at her and gawk. LOL.
I'm kidding. Not. ⊂((・▽・))⊃

I hope you check it out and love it as much as I do too~ ☆☆☆
Please feel free to follow or ask/talk to me on it. ＼（＾ ＾）／

My Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO (80OHM)

On Friday (9th August), my family went out to Gurney Paragon. （-＾〇＾-）
I desperately needed to get a new pair of headphones because one side of my earphones died on me and the wiring is starting to peak out. My hearing has also dulled over the past year due to excessive usage. And also, I'm moving to KL soon. So, a new pair of cans - here I come! (ノ*゜▽゜*)

Recently, I saw Jaben opened up a new branch in Gurney Paragon.
They have another branch at Straits Quay but it's kinda complicated to get there, in my opinion.
So, conveniently, they had a shop in Gurney Paragon! Woohoo~ ★★★

Anyways.
I visited their Gurney Paragon's shop and woah. Seriously love their staffs.
Really friendly and easy to talk to. I didn't feel intimated at all - which is rare for me.
I freak out with human interaction - especially if they're strangers.
I was wearing my Kyubey shirt on that day. And one of the staffs just came up to me and said something about wanting to become a mahou shoujo. LOL. It was epic. (≧∇≦)
And so, instead on wandering aimlessly around, I decided to just asked them if they had any headphone recommendations that is closed-back, full size and suitable for metalcore and rock.

He instantly recommended the Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO (80 OHM).
VERY PRICEY. I ALMOST DIED HEARING THE PRICE. HOREYSHIATTTTT.
But I tried it on and man, I didn't wanna take them off. It was just audiophile heaven.
The bass was incredible. It wasn't too loud and wasn't too soft. The presence of it was just perfect, in my opinion. I played my noisiest metalcore songs. And woah, the hi-hats and crashes weren't distortedly loud and ear piercing AT ALL. Everything just blended in. The vocals were very clear, based on my ballad and metalcore songs. Everything was just perfect. And the pads were really comfortable. The clamping was just nice as it sat on my head. I love the overall feel and size of it.

Wednesday Outing ✿

Last Wednesday, my mom took my sister and I out~ ＼(^▽^＠)ノ
We watched two movies - not in a row though.

The first movie we watched was Red 2.



As the movie was near lunchtime, we got nuggets and fish & chips at the cinema before heading in.
The movie was awesome. But personally, it's not as awesome as the first movie.
But still, it's great by its own. (o*･ω･)ﾉ

After the movie ended, we went ahead and had our real lunch.
We ate at Sushi King. I had a strong craving for fish. More specifically, salmon.
Anyways. My mom and I tried a few new dishes that they had.
It was okay-ish. My salmon craving reduced a tad bit only. Ahah. ಠ_ಠ
We walked around a bit after lunch. Did some window shopping and whatnot.

Picking Up Japanese Language, Again

Recently, I felt an urge to seriously pick up Japanese language at a more serious level.
I really think that if I don't start working on it now. Then, I can go ahead and say さよなら to my dreams of working in Japan's games industry. ＿ﾉ乙(､ﾝ､)_

And so, I did some researched on which textbook to use for people who does self-studying.
After all those researching, I decided on getting Minna no Nihongo and Tobira.
Previously, I used the Minna no Nihongo during my Japanese classes.
So, I decided to just stick with it - instead of switching over to Genki.
And even though Tobira is for an intermediate level, I think it was a wiser choice of getting it now instead of when I move away to further my studies. Then, I wouldn't need to think about getting it when I think I'm ready to move on to Tobira from Minna no Nihongo. Ahah.

Conveniently at that time, I was going down to KL during the weekend to settle my college stuff.
So, I poked my parents about going to Kinokuniya.
And ta-da~ (✿◠‿◠)



I decided to get Tobira only and another Japanese novel called,「好きって、こわい？」, to read.
I think reading out of the textbook would really help improve my reading.
Cause I think Japanese novels wouldn't have so much polite forms - compared to the textbook.
Or, at least, I hoped it didn't. I'd really like to work on my informal forms. (ﾉ_ _)ﾉ
And plus, the novel has furigana. So, I think it'll help me on my kanji reading. So, banzai to that~!

And that's just a few of my meal pictures~ I didn't really take much pictures cause I'm, most of the time, just too hungry to think about taking any. Ahah. (ノ＞▽＜。)ノ

Trafalgar Law's Hat Phone Strap + Den Den Mushi

Last month, my sister ordered for me a phone strap of Trafalgar Law's hat~ ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ



My sister ordered from here.
Although, she only ordered the phone strap, we were surprised that there was a free gift.
The free gift was Law's Den Den Mushi! (❁´◡`❁)
It even his voice coming out from it. So. Freaking. Cool. ☆

PS: Excuse the crappy image quality. It was taken from my phone + been through Instagram. Ahah.

Tokimeki Restaurant Get!! ★

Last month or so, I downloaded  Tokimeki Restaurant (or TokiRes, for short). ⊂((・▽・))⊃
I didn't really play much of it, though.
My Japanese language skills sucks just too much. (o;TωT)o
But in my short span of trying out the game, it's quite fun - if I could fully understand it. Ahah.
But it was also quite battery consuming due to the heavy graphics. So, boo to that.

Here are a couple of random screenshots I took. Ahah.



Seriously, I need to work on my non-existent language skills to play this game. ಥ_ಥ

Happy (Super) Belated Birthday, Bakagami! ♥

This Bakagami's birthday was on the 2nd of August.
So, a happy super belated birthday to him! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧



Kagami is one of the best male characters that I have ever encountered.
He has got to be my no.1 favourite male character that ever existed~ ☆
My Nintendo 3DS XL was also named after him, by the way. Ahah.
