First Timer

Like Adi told me last night, today there's going to be a lot of 'first times' for me... He mentioned:

- First time flying (YES! I'M VERY NERVOUS!! I'm not afraid of heights though...)
- First time abroad other than Malaysia (Yay!)
- First time away from family (yes, oh so true..)
- First time going with his parents (Yikes!)
- First time to go there...

Well, there will be a bunch of first times for me there. So I'm both excited and nervous. LOL. I just hope that I have a good time there. I need to buy a bunch of souvenirs too. Hehe.

Anyhoot, next time I'll post up some pictures after my 3days travel. I even got an notebook to write down stuff. So, I hope I reach there safely and having a good time.

Wish Kaza and myself some good luck.

Love,
Fae/Vie

The Updates or December '08

The Reading Updates:

Currently I'm reading Teah's books 'cos I feel that I should really catch up with literature. And, Teah, THANK YOU!!! I fell in love with John Green instantly! I love reading 'Looking for Alaska' (although, the ending was kinda... uh... plain? No offense, it's still a good book). Reading that book makes me laugh and cry (literally! I cried!!). Now I'm looking forward to reading 'An Abundance of Katherines'. I already love the storyline. Hope I could finish them up. XD

The Activity Update:

Well, other than reading John Green books (I'm SO getting Paper Towns when I'm away), current events with BJFA-UBD is still on. The upcoming event is the coolest and it will keep me busy since I started working but I won't stop attending and helping out with this event. It's Japanese Pop Culture Week, which held in March. The cool part is that I (with some other members) am in-charge with the Cosplay booth (cosplay; costume + play = cosplay, to dress and play the role of a character from anime, books, manga, games, etc). There are several categories of cosplay in this event:

- Maid
- Anime
- High School
- Ninja, as Naruto...
- Modern Fashion
- Kendo Girls from Bamboo Blade (hence Anime)
- Akihabara (Japanese geeks. My president came up with this. XS)

I'm dressing as four of the following categories; Maid, Anime/High School (I'm combining as both), Anime, Modern Fashion.

Maid
I'm gonna buy that myself (because too many ruffles, too fussy to make for a beginner like myself). Maybe dressing as Gothic Lolita Maid.

Anime/High School
My friend and I (June) became partners for this cosplay. We're dressing up as our own character from the game 'Kingdom Hearts 2' in High School form. I'm gonna make the skirt myself but I can look for the shirt elsewhere (since it's the end of the year, it's easier to find. XD)

Anime
I'm dressing up as my own design of Red Riding Hood. But I changed the name to 'Red Riot Hood'. This shows designs that I have came up with which is also partly cosplay (because I create the designs and sew them myself)


'Red Riot Hood'

I have made the hood with June 2 years ago, so I'm gonna use that. All I need to find is the right fabric and color and also those boots (so comfy that I thought they're sneakers. XD)

Modern Fashion
Also known as Harajuku. This is, by far, the easiest that I can get. It's all about 'Mix 'n' Match' in your closet. XD

So, I'm starting to learn how to sew clothes. I have taken a lot of tutorials and researched for a while now. So... all I need is my salary (which is not out yet since I started working... >A<)


The Random Update:

A certain someone was so kind to me that he bought me: LINKIN PARK'S ROAD TO REVOLUTION CD/DVD!!! I was so hyped up! He even got me a poster of the guys. I'm so HAPPY! (And still a dork).


The usual gist of me taking pictures with LP's CD. XD


LOL! Being my dorky lover self. XD


Oh, I found out where I'm going soon this 24th til 26th... I'm off to Singapore. YAY!! I've never been there and never flew anywhere. So it's going to be my first time. Hehe.

Laters,
Vie/Fae

Taught by a Pro

Today we had a function at my place so most of my family members were here. We even invited P2F contestants and they did a WHOLE lot of karaoke-ing (what they do best, XP). I invited Milin and so he brought Puan Lili (she's a judge from the show and also a singing coach). I was told to sing and in the end, we practiced singing.

My flaws? Well, I just need to open my mouth a bit more and try to make some songs as dict-able as possible. So, I feel like I should research on how to sing properly and asked Milin to coach me. XP

Now that I realized my flaws, I'm not sure if I should send my CD to RTB for audition. XwX

And am I really a good singer or not?

Nyah~

I imagined 'Sweeney Frog' in his Kermit the Frog voice. LOL.

It is claimed that this is the artist's mom's idea. Great job Mrs.hedgehogbeeblebrox. :)
