as Allen Walker

My 1st cosplay event in Singapore and exactly a year since I last cos XD
Much love and thanks to viospace for inviting me to cos with her ~
I love my group mates! *force hugs them all XDDDDDD
Heard from Vio that this plan had been held back for 4 year *0* so we'r quite depressed when our stuffs have yet to arrive...
and just when we'r going for alternate plans, our stuffs arrived the day before the event!!! LUCKY MAX~

So everything was pretty rush... I didn't have time to do any make-up or wig test hence I was having a hard time on the actual day OTL
Spent hours trying to straighten the wig and drawing the tattoo takes alot of patience which I have none *face-palmed
I didn't realized my make-up was abit too dark... I'm sorry to all Allen fans for burning ur eyes >.<
Nonetheless, IT WAS AWESOME!!! So happy to once again cos together with my friends ~ Missed them lots

Went as a civilian on Day 2 LOLOL. I wasn't able to cos that day due to family commitments so I came to the event pretty late...
Still, I was able to hang out with my lovelies~ and the inner pervert in me is fully satisfied when I helped out for Vio's KagaKuro shoot that night hur~ hur~

Meet lotsa new friends during the event and it was a shame that I couldn't hang out with them more
Hope that I can attend more events in the future (must find a better date to come back next year)

That's all for event report lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next event that I'm looking forward to - HYPER JAPAN WINTER 2012!!!
Yes yes I'm going for at least 2 days XD Will certainly cos but I have not the slightest idea what characters yet~
Till then~ will MIA since sch gonna start next week =_=

Is great to be back home! Been busy stuffing myself with food, food and more food!
In just a short span of 2 weeks, I have already gained 5 pounds *face-palm
But all my cravings are satisfied = A happy me lol

Oh yes, 1 more day to STGCC \(^^)/ The event I'm looking forward to bcoz Touya Hibiki will be there!
Can't wait to see her IRL~ Hope I don't melt into a pile of goo upon seeing her

Plans for STGCC Day 1 is pretty much settled. Not sure about Day 2 thou.
I'll be carrying a pair of scissors around~ Not hard to guess who I'm gonna cos XD
OKAY seems my original plan with my group mates is going to be happening afterall~ woohoooo
We'll be wearing black order uniform~ XD
Do come by and say hi, I wouldn't bite~ Cya there <3

+ just want to bump my previous journal off my page >.< -> was acting too melodramatic -_-

Oh hi there , its been awhile huh?   
Well it is summer break now and there's no excuses to say I'm busy with school work or whatsoever
so I'v FINALLY gotten around to upload some cosplay photos and update my FB, Cure & WorldCosplay Acc.
Feel free to add me~ though I admit I'm not an active cosplayer

Procrastination is one of my biggest weaknesses, I spend a lot of time thinking of what to do
and not enough time doing what I NEED to do. Especially so when it comes to cosplay...
The mentality of being 'not good enough' always bugs me and so I kept putting off cosplay plans and not
uploading photos. Frankly speaking, I rather looked at cosplays done by other amazing cosers and go high XD

I have to keep reminding myself that the joy of cosplay is to portray the characters that I love and enjoy the
company of like-minded friends~ As long as I know I'v tried my best, I should stop feeling so lousy about myself~
For those ppl who have fav my photos, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. No doubt it gave me a small boost of confidence~

Emo feelings aside,  I'll be back for a short while to spend some quality time with my family and friends~
AND I'll be cosing at STGCC!!! YES I can't wait to go back~ Its gonna be exactly a year since I last cos >.<

Looking forward to have a get-together with my friends
Currently into Kuroko no Basuke <333333 MORE AKASHI PLEASE LOL

Till then~

PS: I'v change the name to cloverchakra as I'v found a number of sites using cloverdose for blogspot/tumblr/twitter
it was pretty common so a change is needed~ XD

Just a quick post to show that I'm still around I had not been cosplaying since my debut LOL
Really wanted to continue my new found love but studies had been draining alot of my energy...orz
BUT! I'v been keeping tabs about the cosplays events here and I'm excited to know that UK will be participating in
World Cosplay Summit FIRST TIME and Hyper Japan will be hosting WCS as well as the European Cosplay Gatherings~

Can't afford to go to all 3 days of the event [money as well as time] lol so went on the 2nd day instead.
Its amazing to say the least. Lotsa Miku cosplayers as well as lolitas and Ciel XD
Was busy stuffing myself with all the delicious Jap food there too~

I'm still gaga-ing over little Naruto and Iruka~ they looked so cute together Father and son cosplay ftw
On fan-gal mode when I saw Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune from Sengoku Basasra. They...look...so...hot together...nuff said XD
The young sisters who cosplayed Princess Mononoke awesome please d(^^)b

More photos on the event can be found on my FB -> www.facebook.com/cloverchakra

At the mean time, I'm gonna slowly upload my photos from my past photoshoots and probably upload a few more
and then photo dump the rest onto my CureCos. Outtakes, omake & event photos will be dumped onto my FB.
Will get around to do all this...>.< At this rate, it's gonna take me forever orz *runs away and hide.

My 1st journal post and appearance in da~ WOOHOOO!!! XD Right… u had this acc for more than a year… o_O
I was actually being forced by a friend to open a da acc back then and didn't bother to post anything and
since I'm lazy to create another one, this will do >.<  

So what brought abt the change? Firstly, back to school. I was thinking it is time to post my artworks and keep
track of my progress. Secondly -> I can openly stalk follow all the amazing artists of various talents
here and lastly to post cosplay-related stuffs~

YESSSSSSS… I FINALLY DID IT *V* I'v always wanted to try cosplaying and after telling viospace abt it,
she encouraged me to go for it.Thinking that I'll be studying in UK soon, I shld just get this over and done with
so I can concentrate on my studies~ XD So plans were made and I'v been to a few photoshoots and events~<3
It's almost been a mth and I'v settled in quite nicely so I shall stop procrastinating partly bcoz I had a hard
time figuring how to use da and start to post something already! lol Here goes~

C2AGE, Malaysia, May 2011

1st event that I cosplay at. Day 1 as Shinpachi 3z gakuen ver with vio as Ginpachi Sensei and yokey as Kondo.
Day 2 as Okita Sougo default ver together with yokey as Kondo and vio as Takasugi Joi war ver. One word...CHUIIIIIII orz
Maybe bcoz it was my first time cosing and I was so nervous that I looked constipated throughout the 2 days...
+ the uniform was too big on me and the gold lining was painful to look at *Epic fail.
So yea no photos to be posted coz I seriously looked like shit.
Sorry to vio and yokey I failed MAX *sob But you guys are awesome and thanks for inviting me.
I can't denied that I did have a fair share of fun amidst all the angst I'm feeling XD

My 1st photoshoot with a full Yorozuya and Shinsengumi team minus Yamazaki hur hur~
Did I mention I loved my Shinsengumi team? <333 We did alot awesome shots and crack ones too.
Much thanks to Vio for inviting me to the shoot~

I trimmed my wig and practically butchered my uniform by removing all gold linings, inner lining, buttons and
resew it so that it'll look more accurate and fits me better. I'v noticed I'm quite anal abt details
I'v also build my bazooka from scratch <3 yippeeeeeee~

Thanks to all the wonderful photographers and helpers.  Thanks to Nik for sending us home too o(^^)o
