Hey guys!

Tadaaa!!! Finally I cosplayed!!!

Cosplaying has been a childhood dream of mine. Well not really childhood, but I've been wanting to do it since... since I saw Arisa Mizuhara's photos o_o You can google her. And she really inspired me into cosplaying.

Until now, the one character I really want to cosplay is still songstress Yuna!!! >_<>

This weekend, I am pretty free ^^ compared to the last few weeks of hell. So I decided to (finally) make the magnet headphone for my Luka Megurine cosplay! Now if you recall, I posted this picture before. This is how the headphones are supposed to look like:

Okay I admit, I don't know what to blog about. But I really feel the urge for expression. And I don't know why instead of expressing through my poster that's due in less than 2 days, I instead write a blog post. I guess I'm just more verbal than visual -instant sad face-. On a random note, I am slightly happy that both of those words start with a V, just like my name.

In fact, I have recently felt that my name is pretty nice. There is a unity between my first and last name: Vina Kosasih. VK. I like it. Thanks mom and dad for the nice name, I will no longer complain to you about giving me a better name. I can't imagine myself being called... Elizabeth Kosasih (well whoa that actually wasn't that bad to be honest), Renee Kosasih (hey that's not bad either), Angelica Kosasih (sounds too much like my bro's name), Laurence Kosasih (wait is this a girl's name?), Kylie Kosasih, Winnie Kosasih, Lydia Kosasih, Mandy Kosasih, Jessica Kosasih, Cheryl Kosasih, or whatever.

What to blog about .... hmmm ...

Oh I had a very nice conversation with Chu the other day. We chatted for 3 hours ++ non-stop and didn't even notice. It was that good of a flow. Our topics ranged from all the petty stuffs to deeper arguments about design, psychology, and the interests of our generation. Perhaps our intellect is almost matched, though maybe not, she may not be so happy to have an intellect matching that of humble ol' me (lol). Yes, I used 'lol' right after that sentence. Just proves how intellectual I am. She did say we are similar though, so I can assume that was what she meant right?

Unimportant things like these gush out of my mouth whenever I start rambling. Sorry.

Back to what I was actually going to say, our conversation was great. And at one point we talked about how cool it would be if we were old grannies sitting on our patios (if they were to still exist in 70 years time), sipping tea or whatever shit they drink in that era, and saying to each other 'oh my dear friend, we grew up together!'. Or something along those granny lines.

I mean - we grew up together. I didn't realise that simple fact - that you never grow up alone, but you grow up together along with other people who are involved in your life. I grew up with so many people. I grew up with Chu, Susan, Ratna, Ken, Sammy, Angelita, Irene, Josie, Listy, Petrick, Martin, Allison, Angela, Caroline, Bella, Daryl, Angelina, Janet, Cathy, Recca, Nattanich, Sophia, Celine, and many other people I simply can't list them all.

Am I the only weird one who thinks it's amazing we grew up together? Yes? For instance I'll be telling my child in the future "Oh this is aunt Angelita, we grew up together. I always go to her and rant about guy stuff, I honestly don't know how she puts up with it, but I sure never let that bother me. She's such a dear ~"

None of us know where life would take us , and sometimes it gets really hard to keep in touch with even my closest friends. It would be a lie to say distance does not keep us apart, which is really kind of sad. We might have msn, skype, whatever, things just aren't like how it was. We don't see each other, we don't have lunch together or skip classes together. We don't go to TA after school and ice-skate, we don't go to Happy Puppy and karaoke like mad.

Aaah typing this really makes me nostalgic~ High school sure was a good memory. I think back on all the shit I went through, all the fighting and the tears, but now I can only see them as happy memories, it's funny. Life can be such a mystery when everything is happening but you don't notice them until you look back and you realise it has all been amazing, every second of it.

Lol I feel rather inspired now, maybe I can start doing my poster design? Hahahha. Tonight when I pray I'll be sure to thank God for giving me this gift called life.

It seems everyone is growing up. We will go through pain and somehow make it out alive.

Hi guys, I'm actually pretty free right now and pretty much bored so I decided hey I should blog. The above picture is of my pretty crap packaging for Japanese rice.

These days, I have been looking a lot at the sky, since I figured out the greatest method to work my sliding curtain thing. I used to just keep them shut but now they're always open except at night. So from the moment I wake, till the moment I sleep~

Sunrise:

Sunset:

Well the sunset probably isn't too amazing, but it was drizzling at that moment! The camera couldn't capture it since it was too soft. Imagine soft drizzling and the warm glow of orange hues from the setting sun. ;)

I was just sitting there with my laptop, playing a bunch of blues music. Watching the clouds drift. I never knew clouds drift as at that speed o_o I wish I had a glass of wine to celebrate the view, but you know, I can't buy it and Listy wouldn't buy it for me either =_="

The weather here in Melbourne is starting to get chilly. Auttumn is coming. I don't know how I should feel about that, since cold weather means I will start eating a whole damn lot (and yes, it has already begun).

Aside from that, life has been blissful and peaceful :) I've been feeling happy and calm.

This happened to my apartment the other day - fire! :

Look at this, another blog post! And it hasn't been long at all since the previous one. I promise to make this one less serious :D

I'm currently having a strong urge to go cosplay. Look at that picture up there! So beautiful isn't it...! I want to buy myself a pink wig too, since I can have two alternative cosplay characters, that is: Luka Megurine (Vocaloid) and Mayura (Matantei Loki Ragnarok). Their costumes aren't too complicated either, which is good.

I did go to a wig shop the other day and I tried out several wigs. They were blonde almost white, like Lady Gaga's hair colour. But they looked so horrible on me!! I looked like a witch. The fringe was weird, and hair flared to the sides. I guess it might be because the wig was new, just came out of the box. At least, that's what the shopkeeper told me.

But I'm looking at some wigs right now on eBay... never used eBay before. But it sure is convenient compared to scouting those wig shops in the city with the scary shopkeepers... I'm currently considering this item. It will be around $44, which is... not too bad. Since I have been saving a lot of money by cooking and eating at home. But recently, I spilled water in my bag again!!! Arghh! I did the exact same thing last year and destroyed my phone and iPod. Now my iPhone is damaged... the functions work fine, but the screen brightness cannot be adjusted. The lights are ruined, I reckon. I can barely see anything on the screen.

I don't know how much it will cost to fix that since I am too damn lazy to call the guy up and ask. If my Dad were here he would help me get this done... hahaha. Oh those happy days when you just sit at home and everything is done for you... tsktsk.

Can someone buy this for me as an Easter present? :)

That's how I look like right now. I can almost swear I look a bit different. Smudged eye make-up?

You know I have been quite busy recently, even though it is Easter holiday right now, I have much to do. And I have been thinking a lot, about the future, etc. A few moments ago I was washing dishes, chatting with Listy as usual and I said "Damn this course, I don't even have a clear future, right now I'm not even sure what in the world I am studying and how this is useful. I'd take business where I know I'd actually have a more stable career."

Taking design course is really not about what you love doing anymore... It's about establishing a career. I don't know if that sentence even makes sense. I seem to have that habit of typing a wise-sounding sentence but have no idea what it means and when you decipher it, it really is just a stupid statement. So forgive me. :)

What I was really going at is how, after saying that (the quote in first paragraph) to Listy, I realised that I am still 17 years old. That number shocks me sometimes, I can't believe I'm still so bloody young! It doesn't seem to be that way, I don't feel like I'm one of those seventeen year old girls going out to the beach with her group of friends in the car drinking Big M then jumping off a cliff into the sea watching the sunset... okay, I was directly translating the Big M commercial there. But it's true! Is that how teenagers are supposed to be? Free? They seem so rid of any worries, like the world belongs to them.

Yes I will hit my head and remind myself it is only a commercial and of course they are trying to sell that lifestyle.

Oh man, remember those old days when your life revolves around nothing but your homework, friends, and boys. I mean, it's not much different yet as of right now, but I saw my old photos with my friends, and I couldn't help but feel warm and tingly inside. What sweet memories! We were all one, together, and now we are scattered all over the globe, trying to build our career. School is such a wonderful place, and now I understand why it is so important to send kids to a good school - it is the foundation of a child, the environment, people, study methods directly affect a child.

Boy I'm glad I went to Bina Bangsa School. Even though I still fail to comprehend the motive behind "Girls should always tie their hair and cannot leave any strand hanging out. Boys' hair must be short and cannot go below the top of the ear. Everyone must have black hair."

I mean... once you get out of school, who cares if you dye your hair...? In uni and in the workplace there are people who have coloured hair and it doesn't matter.

I guess Bina Bangsa was making sure the 'products' of their school graduates are prim, proper, studious. Typical Singaporean school...

Few days ago, I read a very good manga called Cat Street. And there was this quote I really liked:

Anyway, I should really get back to my project now. And I'm also very hungry. But before I go, I recently had this desire to live in Japan. I think it's been there since I was a child but my friends around me are suddenly raving about it... and I want to go too! I want to try living there for a few months with friends. I think it would be like a dream come true. I'm aiming for that now, but there are many other obstacles along the way. I need to get my studies done here first, and I don't even know where to establish a career. It's all very confusing to me but may we all stay strong... Ganbatte!
