Manifest 2010
Monday, August 23, 2010
Went to Manifest 2010 on Sunday! It was at Melbourne Showgrounds. Juen and I woke up very early to catch the tram there. But we missed it... and ended up catching a cab because we didn't want to be stuck in a long queue, and also, I fell down while running and injured my knee @_@ So if you see photos of me with a big hole on my stocking, and blood...well, that's what happened. And it's been hurting me since yesterday. I'm still in pain until now... *limps everywhere*
Also, that was my first time being in cosplay to an event. No, not even - it was my first time to an anime event. If you notice, my costume is different from the one in the photoshoot. Well, that wasn't my dress, it was Listy's, and apparently I have fattened up in a few months so I couldn't fit in it anymore. Sobsob! So I did a last minute improvisation. It was a black dress, so I guess it didn't really matter.
Blogger is really annoying in how it's really difficult to rearrange the photos once uploaded, so everything is in one big chronological mess. Sorry!
This is the chocolate mud cake we had at the maid cafe. I must say it wasn't very good... and they served instant soup too. The place wasn't nice either. The maid cafe was rather disappointing :(
The awesome and friendly guys cosplaying Trinity Blood! They were very friendly. Juen looks so small in between them!
These are the guys cosplaying crisis core. Well they weren't very keen on the photo..
These are awesome! I love their group pose. One of the little ones came over when I was asking them if I could take a photo with them, and her falsies were coming off. So I told her I brought eyelash glue and in the end, I helped her fix her falsies... lol.
Then the complete group came over and did a group pose. I wanted my photo!! The tall green-haired girl in red told me to go to the middle of them, but there were so many people taking photos of the group that I felt bad for being the little bug from another series. lol. So I stood at the side, got a pic, then hopped away.
I told myself that I simply had to take pictures with other vocaloid cosplayers. So I hopped in with these guys. I look very short... and they're all asians. I didn't realise I was so... stumpy.
This Miku here... we asked for each other's photo at the same time. It was chemistry. Too bad she wasn't in magnet. Actually, I didn't see any magnet vocaloids except me. And I thought there would be a lot!
There was this long stretch of wall where many cosplayers were having mini-shoots. I tried my hand in that.
And look here's Domo-kun! He waved at me slowly once... and I waved back. Kawaiii...!! *glomps*
Don't question why I was holding his tummy so oddly. He wasn't easy to hug properly...
Saber from Fate/Stay Night
Digimon! Oh man I loved them!
The guys from Vocaloid Imitation Black
Awesome-looking Belle! Felt like Disneyland for a moment there..
And this is my absolute favourite!!! The first time I saw her, she was watching the Gundam Workshop if I'm not mistaken. So I didn't want to disturb. The second time, she was watching Anime Idol. Again, I'd feel bad to ask for a photo then. But finally! I spotted her! Very happy~
Very cool Bleach guys!
Kaname from Vampire Knight! He was one of the Anime Idol contestants.
I didn't know where this cutie is from, but Sherly told me it's from Starry Sky. If I had played that game I guess I would've used the chance to fangirl like mad. But unfortunately I didn't :p
Here's a cute charmander!
And pikachu!
Sorry I strangled you... I didn't notice. You were too cute.
I didn't notice these guys were from Umineko No Naku Koro Ni until I went home and took a closer look.
Kame hame haaa!
Yay got a picture with Vanille! I just love her costume...
And a picture with Yuna! I really should've asked her if we could switch costumes for a while...zzz
Here are the girls from Maid Cafe
These guys were one of my favourites too! Catch you catch you catch me catch me~
Hugging robot! The people were friendly at Manifest... they all love to hug
Kingdom Heart's neoshadow!
Cute Ouran High School boys ~
I love these girls. They were very nice. Hahhaha
Stepping out of Manifest took me out of the fantasy world where almost everyone were in costume, back to... Melbourne. Winter coats, hoodies, jeans, etc. awww
Yeah! So that wraps up my Manifest 2010 experience. To everyone who plans to go, go in cosplay! It's so much more fun~

Check out what I was up to today!
I did quite a messy job, but hey! Cute aren't they?? ^o^ Well Stewie's isn't as cute as Luka's but then again Luka was much more complex. Stewie required no glue or tape whatsoever. Which was much easier to put together!
If you guys want to try them out, here are the links where I downloaded them:
Luka Megurine from Vocaloid
They also have neat templates for other characters. The second link is the deviant artist's account and she has other characters from Vocaloid, D.Gray Man, Lucky Star etc.
I notice that Luka shouldn't be wearing the magnet headphones since her costume is the one from Vocaloid Series 1, but whatever. It was included and it looks great. :)
Random picture moment, here is something I cooked up around 2 days ago:
Colourful food!

My Luka Megurine Cosplay
So I was looking back at my cosplay folder and saw... hundreds of photos. And I wondered why I only uploaded so very little. I guess I was too lazy to edit :p Well here's a continuation of the gallery.
That's all I edited :p I really should be working on my project but whatever! Blogging comes first! For those interested, here are the links to the
I should cosplay soon (and I really really want to do a beach shoot)... The only thing holding me back is... no costume. And what's cosplay without costume. D; Donate? teehee

Luka Cosplay
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!!! >_<>
At first, I was just on Facebook and I saw this cute Which Vocaloid Are You quiz taken by Sherly (lol) and my result was Luka Megurine. So I googled her since I didn't even know what the heck Vocaloid was. o_O And I thought she was pretty interesting! Then I saw some good cosplay pictures of her and I thought hey, this isn't too hard! So it was decided...
After around 5 days of buying and then receiving the wig (my very first wig! I was so happy), I handcrafted the headphones (tutorial in the previous post) in two days. And two days later, Juen came to my apartment and we had the official photoshoot!
My photographer and I ^^:
Photography and editing: Juen
Dress: Listy's (thank u ^^)
Accessories and headphones: me
Wig styling & make-up: me
Well those are the more favourite-d photos. I don't really like the last one but many people do so... maybe it's good... not sure. Hahahaha.
After the photoshoot Juen and I went out grabbed some take-away bento and had our group meeting. The weather was so good out! And we both felt real happy because 1.my dream of cosplaying came true 2.Juen's dream of taking cosplay photographs came true. Juen prefers photography over modelling, opposite of me. Hahhaha. And we both talked about how in a single cosplay we gain experience on crafting accessories, wigs, photo editing, modelling, photography etc. And how someone should set up a cosplay school and I would gladly join. Hhahaha. Life would be awesome!
My pink wig is looking lonely up there on top of my cabinet. I want to cosplay again soon if possible! What characters have pink hair and a simple costume? I can only think of
- Mayura from Matantei Loki Ragnarok
- Serah Farron from Final Fantasy 13
...and that's it. I need some otaku input here -_- !! Suggestions pleaseeee.
