Candy, Costumes and Head-Splitting Volumes

It was difficult coming up with the title for this post because I didn't want it to simply be "AFA 2012" or something like that.

Anyway, I did attend the AFA yesterday which was the last day of this year's event! I met up with Sam before going to the Expo where it was held this year. I wish I had taken more photographs!

It was actually pretty hilarious because when we found Jamie(who sits next to me in History class) and her friend, they talked about how the Sword Art Online booth had pretty much sold out everything. We went to take a look at the mentioned booth afterwards which was really cleared out. The only thing left were sample products, sword replicas, character stands and a backdrop.

Sam and I decided to count the number of Vocaloid cosplays we could find and pointed at every one of them while shouting a number. We managed to count up to 48! The cosplays were really adorable. There was this duo who dressed up as Sion(I'm not too sure about the spelling of the name) and Nezumi from No.6 and I wish I had taken a picture of them. They seemed kind of busy though so I left them alone to enjoy the festival.

Oh and there was this guy who I asked if what he was dressed up as was from Resident Evil 5 because I saw it in the game and thought it looked so familiar.

I was right!

To make a really long list short, there were tons of cosplays from all sorts of animes. Some really popular ones were like Ao No Exorcist, Fairy Tail and K. There was a big group of Hetalia cosplayers (especially a really awesome Chibitalia) and a really impressive Iron Man.



I really like their expressions, haha!







It was really fun! I learnt a lot from Sam who I am pretty sure bought every Saber (Fate Zero) file we came across. That reminds me, Sam also bought Takoyaki and then proceeded to burn her tongue (gosh, burn sounds odd. from eating the freshly made snack. Afterwards, she went and got herself a free cup of hot coffee (they were giving them out) and sipped on it saying that compared to the Takoyaki it was lukewarm. Funny Sam!

Oh anyway, I got some candy that I had once seen on a RRcherrypie video! As Teresa came over to my place today, I decided to open the candy kit.

My creation is on the left and Teresa's making her Panda on the right!

Pandango (Or that's what it says on the packaging)



Pretty much a mixture of water and powder





Complete!

According to Teresa, the sauce was really sweet. I was actually confused by the sauce because when I first tasted it, I thought it tasted salty and then the sweetness sort of kicked in and I continued to eat it in confuzzlement.

Oh, I almost forgot! Jamie gave me this bag at the AFA and I absolutely love it! It's so gorgeous and I've just started watching this anime. Thank you so much, Jamie!

By the way, if you're still wondering about the "Head-Splitting Volumes" part in this post's title, it refers to the music booths at the AFA which had really loud music playing from the speakers, wheeee!

You Have Earned The Skill "Sewing" and +340XP!

It'll be a quick update today as I do not have much to say.  To make a long story short, I shall just say that I've been busy as usual but managed to find time to complete a project!

Yes, as according to the title, I've just learnt to sew. Shortly after picking up the needle, I embarked on the journey of completing my first sewing project.

Definition: My First Sewing Project <mye^ fe.rst so-ying pro-je^k>: The adorable little guy made out of felt and buttons. A handmade scalemate.

Indeed! I have made my first sewing project a Scalemate.

Isn't it pretty? Even if I do say so myself.

I made it with the help of this tutorial!

I guess you could still see the messy stitches on it but as a friend kindly puts it, there is still a sense of accomplishment. Oh and I shall need practice!

Well, as this is a short post made longer thanks to the help of a photograph, I suppose I shall include a picture of a badly-drawn horse below.

Just For Fun.

Till next time!
