AniManGaki and Taylor's Asaban Fest 2012

This is gonne a be a fast post because both events were last month and I forgot to post them hence the post before this post because I forgot, I mentioned that I forgot, see how important forgetting is? I'm not making sense. Don't matter anyway, nobody reads this blogs besides bots who spam my chatbox.

AniManGaki
This year's AniManGaki, I was really excited because I would be cosplaying as Kumagawa Misogi from Medaka Box for the first time. Because you don't know because I don't update my blog, Kumagawa is my favorite character from Medaka Box (until the most recent chapter of Medaka Box revealed Hanten's face, now Hanten is in first place). Okay. Before the event I went to Amanda's house to work on Kumagawa's costume, got my screws done and my uniform sewed but it was incorrect but we didn't bother because it was the next day to debut. Blah!

I got to AniManGaki pretty early and met up with Amanda. We suited up and bought our tickets. Wooh! So excited! We went in, ventured around and then went back out. Excitement level drops down to zero. Amanda dragged me with a photographer and we got some photoshoots. Oh yeah, AniManGaki was held at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Hall. Okay. Long story short, two days, boring. Second day I cosplayed as Hanbei again together with Chery and Weiss. Boring boring boring. We talked about how ACG events used to be so fun but now it's all the same thing and it's boring already. Wow! I'm typing this really fast it's like words are flowing out of my head like a waterfall! Okay. I met with Mae Yen again, yay! Nee-chama~ Okay. End.

Taylor's Asaban Fest
This year's TAF was a week right after AMG. BAM! It was really small. Okay! First day I didn't cosplay because I had bought tickets to JRock no Tamashii 3.

-Intermission- "Oh would you look at me, I saved this as a draft and forgot about it again."

I had planned so that I would spend the time at Asaban and then go for the concert. Because of a few things (which I forgot, or was it because I had class? No, that can't be right? I guess?) I went in the afternoon. There, I met with my old pal Jun Ee, lecturer, Charmaine (who was selling her old cosplay stuff with some friends), and others, to my dismay, I can't remember (or was it because I only met these few people?). For the first time after two years, I meet Atticus in person. We've been trying to look out for each other at events but no such fate. There was nothing much at Asaban honestly, Jun Ee was kinda down (and very very tired) because he was the current president of the Taylor's Anime Club (Lakeside). I was in time for band performances, to my surprise, metal bands. Jun Ee was surprised too because he didn't think that the president of the Taylor's Anime Club (Subang) had arranged such bands. The first band was okay. I've heard of their name before (which my memory fails to recall).

I spent my time walking around and around. I stopped at Starbucks to use the internet (and help myself to a Java Chip). Evening came and I got together with Jun Ee again. This time I meet (or rather meet again) with Yun Han. We were in the same class in primary school so yeah. Reunion!

Anyway, we had dinner at Face to Face. Jun Ee was really, really, very tired. Poor guy, he didn't sleep a wink and because he was president, he was called to solve problems that occur and greet guests and stuff. After dinner, we headed back to the hall for the concert. I met with Grace again, someone who I haven't really seen in two years and her friend (again, my memory fails me). We went in and I got front seats! Okay, there wasn't really any seats because it was all standing. So, I got front standing!

So a bunch of Malaysian J-Rock bands performed, time passed, I met Pamela, David (Pam's brother) and Alexander in the concert hall. Then finally, HaKU. Who? Same question I asked when I bought the tickets but despite not knowing anything about them, I was so so so so so curious about their music and I did not regret going to the concert at all because HaKU is freaking awesome. A four men band consisting of 3 guys, vocals and lead, second guitar, drums and 1 girl for base guitar. I was in total awe. Their music was 'WHOA' and the basist (the girl, duh) was a bigger 'WHOA'. She was literally into the music, swinging round and round, jumping, skipping and twirling non-stop, jamming on her base guitar, song after song. Now that I think about, I wonder if she had one too many Red Bulls. Anyhow, HaKU, awesome band. They're new even in Japan so it's no surprise I couldn't find them in Google (in English sites).

So the end. Finally.

Notice the difference of writing styles? The speed and details? Yeah, procrastination does that to you.

Oh. I forgot about Day 2. Guess what? I'm just gonna continue from the end of this post.

Day 2, I went to Asaban in the afternoon again because my mom went shopping and dragged me with her. I went there, met Cheryl, Greg, Za and Erika. Cheryl helped me with my Kumagawa cosplay. Then she went back with Greg. I spent the rest of my day there with nothing much to do. At night there was the omatsuri. Yeah. End.
