18th Year Achievement, Unlocked!

This is probably the most times I've ever posted in a month. Maybe, really I never keep count. But oh! Hi there everyone! So I'm back again. Must be funny seeing me back again so fast. Don't worry, I find myself weird too at times. But anyway, I have made a very nice discovery few days back. This discovery relates to one of bloggers function called schedule. It's...SO AWESOME! (Practically 'jakun-ning' right now as I type this out). Yeah, maybe it's been there for quite awhile. I never bothered to find out, or use it, till now. So yeah, this is a scheduled post. Meaning, I typed this and set a time and date for it to be posted automatically. Why not manually post? Cause...I don't have internet access where I'm headed for the weekend la!(My Malaysian-ness kicking in). There's a reason for this! I mean...A reason why I chose to post this via schedule.

So, today(the day I scheduled this) is a very important day for someone who recently (not quite recently actually, 6 months from Aug'12 to Jan'13) became a significant person in my life. It marks the day, that my girlfriend accumulated enough EXP(experience points) to level up from 17 to 18! YAY! *slapped* 

Yes, that's my dear girlfriend Sarah. =)

Okay, jokes aside. Today she turns 18 and a year of possibilities and happiness to come! I can only say that I'm sorry that I won't be able to be there to celebrate with you due to being stranded in Johor. Although if you don't mind, I can and would be willing to celebrate a belated one with you dear. My dearest Sarah, please use your level points wisely in the skills you may need in life =) *slapped again*

 Why the game references? Cause she used to play games =) Just bringing back those happy leveling days, where EXP and Rare Equipment, was a joy.

I got her a present and being the smart*cough* person I am, handed it to her earlier before I departed for Johor. So yeah, I decided to get her a rice art necklace, the one where you can get your name written  on a rice grain, and put it into a tube and made into either a bracelet or necklace. =)

This one =)

Yeah, it was totally worth my money and effort getting this cause, it's one of a kind and you can customize the liquid with any color of your liking, the tube design too, and the rice grain with your name on it, makes it even more special. =)

Closer look on the rice grains =)

It says there, "MUN KAY"

It says there, "VINCENT"

I decided to get one for myself too so we could both be special and matching together =)

Anyway, before I end this post I'mma just say a few lines...

Of Edible...Things

Hello everybody! Yes, I am still alive and kicking, healthy as a horse and back to posting something. So here goes a short take of what I've been doing while my blog was collecting dust from my...abandon-ment. Is that even a word? Oh no, it's not, seeing the red squiggly lines. Oh well, it sounds nice though. *slaps self* Damn, I'm derailing. Back to the topic, so there was college, pretty boring semester this time around. having only three subjects though. Lucky? I...think not. Cause, I am "blessed" with Moral, Pengajian AM (which is Malaysian History), and Marketing Principles. 

The first thing the lecturer says when she came in class for Pengajian AM was...

"Class, don't worry. This is NOT a history class! It's more like general knowledge."

Then, she goes off talking about how Malaysia became a country with such diverse culture, it began in the year 1xxx when god-knows-who came here and conquered god-knows-what. How the traders in the year married locals, and came to trade. Then something happened some people stayed some people left for their home country and VOILA! We have Malaysia! (We clapped here, kidding. We were all dozing off already). Marketing Principles is quite an interesting subject and I can bear with Moral. What I can't take is...all of these classes are...memorizing and theory classes. I hate theory. I hate memorizing.

Now, enough of me complaining, to the fun stuff!

Today's post is as the title says, edible things. What kind of edible things? It's...CHOCOLATES! Who doesn't love chocolates eh? So a friend of mine came back from a holiday with a souvenir for me (oh wow, I'm so touched! Really!). Didn't expect her to get me this though. What's wrong with chocolates? No nothing's wrong with them. In fact, I love them...very much. What would shock most people though is because of..this.

Reminds you of some kind of "product" eh?

 And it's contents are even more..special =)

Giving you "ideas" now?

As some of you might have guessed, this is Chocolate Condom. Chocolate Flavored Condom. Condom Shaped Chocolate. Oh you get the meaning. This is...strawberry flavored. Oh and one chocolate flavored.

The Product

The....Product being eaten

Yeap! Totally awesome looking design for a chocolate. The look on my face when I actually got it and admired it.

VERY VERY JAKUN ME

Sometimes, CHOCS are better than Sex *cough*

Even the packaging is convincing

 Totally convincing! Some of my friends actually thought I was tricking them into eating a condom. Haha, the thing is REALLY chocolate. Creative design and packaging. =)

THANKS Chriztay!!!! Thanks for the lovely/creative souvenir!

Now, I shall enjoy my chocs. Till next post then people, chiaoooz

Cheers~

Welcome 2013

Voila, and a new post magically appears! I'm not even sure if people still drop by to read and be entertained or whatnot. But oh well *shrugs* I'm writing cause...I'm writing la! (Malaysian-ness o_o)

FIRST OFF!! CONGRATULATIONS everyone for surviving the Mayan Doomsday. we can now proudly show the 2012 movie to our kids and tell them, we survived that, and rebuilt our civilization. They'll definitely be so proud of us!

So two months or so since my last post. Nothing much to say here. So a short summary since my last post all the way up to the new year. So since my last post I've had a mad rush to complete a bunch of assignments from college, animating stuff and drawing stuff. Mind you, drawing with a tablet is...A whole new level of drawing. Pen and paper, cannot...compare to this. 

Example, this.

Yeah...Good question actually. What do you want?

Or maybe this.

Yeah..it's a face. (obviously *cough*)

Yeap. Pretty much took me quite awhile to get used to drawing with a tablet. 

AAAANNNNNDDDDD still getting used to it. Sad case for me eh?

Oh well, like they say, "Practice Makes Perfect".

 So I was done and over with my assignments after staying up a few nights, mush to the dismay of my poor body *pats self*. Procrastination...this has got to end  ._______. 

Then, one of the defining events in 2012 for me, I was invited by one special girl to one special event for her entire highschool life. Prom. Yes, you heard me right. Where ladies, and gents, dress up in their finest for a night of fancy dancing, food, refreshments, and the everlasting memory that comes with it. Also, marks one those rare moments I am ever dressed in a suit. I look too damn business like.

That's me on the left and that's my dearest girlfriend on the right

There you go. 

Then we got down the main business. The event I've always been waiting for every year.

Comic Fiesta. This year marks it's 10th year Annie-wear-saree(Anniversary). I must say, I feel proud, even if I have only attended for 5 years since 2008. How far we have come in 5 years, how far they have achieved, and how much I have achieved. From event goer to cosplayer. Another special event to remember, for it was at CF'12(ComicFiesta 2012) that I ever had my first couple cosplay.

Tidus and Yuna, Final Fantasy-X

Kaito and Miku, Vocaloid Senbonsakura

It was really a defining year for me, and a lot of things happened to change my life in every way. I met someone whom I thought was for me only to be corrected, and when I was down, almost giving up, another was by my side. It's all this unexpected moments that, really makes life a wonder.

Here's a little video to conclude, how my New Year's went. =)

2012 was a great year with great memories. To a better 2013 and greater memories you people!

Cheers all!
Vincent  =)

Another period, come and gone

*yawwnnn* SOOOOO, what day is it today? Oh, Sunday? What time is it...? 12.15p.m.? WHOA!!! I overslept! (*cough* forgive the direct Pokemon game pun) but yeah, that's what it felt like coming back to my blog...after over a month. I am seriously, one of the....more lazy bloggers out there. Hey, can't blame me, I do what I like, when I like, how I like, where I like, and...you can't stop me. HA! Take that. 

Anyways, another period has passed and no, I am not referring to the natural discharge of blood that happens every month to a certain gender when the time comes every month. Then there's the irony here where I just came back after a month...Don't get it? Go figure.

In another month or so, it'll be the time of our lives. I'm sure most of you people out there are anticipating this. A day of gifts and presents and plentiful good food (provided we don't get killed by meteorites as the Mayans would love to see). Yeaaahhhh, good food. Food, is that all I can think of? Yeah..pretty much right now. Like a wise stomach once said, "Food is the joy of life". I agree WHOLE-HEARTEDLY on this. But like any other human beings, yeah, I also have wants and needs.... Can't blame me for being human. SOOO, as a normal human being, I have a wishlist. (not that I'm hoping I get everything on it...or even getting any of it...so yeah, just having it for the fun of it)

WISHLIST (My wants, maybe a bit of needs)

1. New Headphones (My old ones, the sponge padding is coming off)

2. New case for meh iPad (it's an old iPad1 and the cover is falling apart...so yeah...)

3. New portable hard disk (for me to store all my por- I mean, work stuff)

4. New shoes (I've been wearing mine for over a year and, it's pretty much falling apart and soaking in water when it rains.)

5. Nerf Elite Retaliator (just because I want to shoot people without causing bodily harm)

6. New phone (mine is pretty much dying a natural death)

7. 300 bucks into my account so I can buy what I want.

8. Peace on Earth (cause I'm caring like that)

9. Good health to everyone (cause...I ran out of ideas)

10. OH and how can I ever forget TURKEY! (I've..only tasted turkey once..so yeah)

That's...pretty much it(for now).

And, till next time then!

Cheers~

356 days or more, or less in the World of COSPLAY

Hello everyone and everybody. Hopefully the world is doing well, and Mother Earth is..doing fine. But anyways, hope all is well. So, I'm back again with a new post.

A year ago, or maybe slightly more (I can't really remember, blame my poor memory), I joined the Cosplay world. Yes, I am a cosplayer. Little did I know, a year has already passed since that day. And so today, here I am with a little something of something. And that something would be cosplay (obviously -_-). 

I've learnt plenty of things during my time cosplaying. I've also met a number of people during that period. Some were friends for the moment, and some other for longer period. Then there were those whom were friends for life. The journey so far was indeed, a great ride, bumpy and full of road blocks and potholes but nevertheless, a joy.

I remember the first time dressing up, putting on a wig, and contact lenses. How nervous I was of walking out of the changing room. How awkwardly I posed when taking photographs. How nervous I was to pose with other people.

What was most important to me though , is the values that I learnt from the cosplay world. Although many of the older generation think that cosplay is a waste of time, money and energy. It is not necessarily so. There are a lot of of things that I have gained and still many more to come. Here is what cosplay means to me.

It is not just that 7 things that cosplay taught me. There are plenty others such as responsibility, confidence, love, achievement, courage, originality, social, skills, and much much more.

All in all, it was a great year, and hope for a greater one to come. =)

I Cosplay To Express, Not Impress.

Cheers~

Having some Fun with Bamboo

Hey hey hey hey everybody, and yes, I'm back with a new post. First off, I give up trying to post regularly cause, it's just not gonna work. I'm a lazy guy that's for sure. But anyway, here goes! 

So lately, I've gotten myself a tablet. Yeah, it's for fever and cough, works well if I- eh? Wait a minute, I'm talking about the wrong tablet. Pardon me, So lately, I've just gotten myself a tablet (sorry  I have to repeat myself again), and yeah, err...I got myself a new tablet! =D 

(Obviously, I don't know what to talk about it)

THE AWESOME BAMBOO FUN PEN AND TOUCH

So, erm, let's see, it's a Wacom Bamboo, Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch actually. It's sleek thin and pretty and all. It's really light sorta like paper except, it's not paper. It weighs like 640gm, but really, you don't feel it at all. It comes in Black and Lime Green, although that doesn't really bother me much, the color is cool.

The tablet in all it's glory

It's the same size as a 14inch screen laptop, which is good, cause I love some extra space to doodle and move my hands. It also comes with 4 shortcut buttons/keys which you can set to your own convenience.

And that's about it for me I guess, and I can't wait to start doodling and whipping out artworks!

=DDD

Cheers all~

The box of JOY

Lazy meh is...Lazy

Hello again aaaaaaaaaannnnddddd, yes, it took me awhile to come up with another new post. Well actually, I kinda forgot I even had a blog till I saw some link on my Facebook. Yeah, must be the age catching up to me *cough* (I'm just 19). Sometimes, I get this sudden urge to post something, and just put it off till the next day...yeah I'm gonna blame Mr. Procrastination. Yes...you. Mr. Procrastination. You're to blame. 

Wait....what?  Yeah, even I don't make sense to myself. Just another one of those random posts I guess. Maybe not? And the title? No idea really, it just sounded really good. Yeah, and before I forget....wait....

What was I gonna post again?

Think

Think...

Almost giving up....

BOOYAH!!!

ANDDDD, I remember. Right, so earlier this month, or more like end of last month, there was an event held at Sunway Pyramid Convention Center. It was ANIMANGAKI 2012. Well, the event was quite fun despite me being able to attend only on the 2nd day. 

It was held on the 25th and 26th of August 2012. There were cosplayers, cosplayers everywhere! All in all, the event gave friends a chance to meet up for a short period, fans to drool at awesome costumes, admire super fragile awesome props and the merchandises and activities available at the event. It was also a chance for people to whip out their camera and start snapping crazy shots and do some one on one photography session. Anyway, enough talking and more pictures eh? Like they say pictures, or it never happened.

And here you go people, some of the stuff on display =D

And here, you have, the cosplayers!

 And then, I'm not one to miss out but yeah, I did cosplay too =)
