Hitochan’s Sanctuary

i have been cosplaying since 2004, and since i have nothing better to do now, i thought, hmmm…why not reminisce my cosplay scenes so far?

let’s start with CF2004

CF2004

1st day - Echizen Ryoma from Prince of Tennis

That year, that time, i was a real big fan of the prince of tennis series. I cant say how many times i rewatched the series ( i think almost 10 - 15 times, every single episode)

Besides, the characters from this series wore normal clothings, so i thought if dun wanna cosplay, i can still wear it as normal clothings. (it’s just plain T shirt anyway..PFFT)

so yeah,kinda fun cosplaying this cocky rookie.

Additional Comments : i doubt i’ll be reviving this character anymore, the costume is WAAAAY to big for me to wear anymore, and he is er…too short for me to cosplay…haha.

2nd Day - Kikumaru Eiji from Prince of Tennis

WOHOO!! this character was soooooo much fun to cosplay..!! i get to be myself, the bubbly and ‘genki’ me..!! you could say that i was IN CHARACTER the whole time….i had so much fun cosplaying eiji (And partially that time, he was my fav character in the prince of tennis series)

And furthermore, i took part in the competition (CRAP, WHAT WAS I THINKING THAT TIME…!! OMAIGOD…@_@lll) and DUH, with my NOOB skills that time, of course i didn’t win..haha….kinda dumb thinking back why i made that stupid decision..haha…

Additional Comments : I might revive this character, and if i have to, i might ‘min keong’ put on the overly large costume for him. But most probably this cosplay will be taking a back seat. i still love this character though..^^

—cant find a good pic of it —

CF 2005

1st Day - Ichimaru Gin from Bleach

I hate to say this, but…..THIS IS A PHAILED COSPLAY…!! FAIL! PHAIL! GAGAL!COSFUCK IF YOU MUST CALL IT..!!

i feel dissapointed and frustrated everytime i see this 2005 cosplay. GOSH, the hair was wrong, the katana was wrong, the portrayal…EVERYTHING..!!! (yes, i know it sucked big time, i almost had all of my 2005 gin cosplay pics down the trashbin)

partially was because in the morning, i had a test in college, and that ruined my entire plan of getting ready at home and going in costume, hair done (ohh..that time, i haven’t thought of getting this great creation called ‘WIGS’ yet….)

so yeah, 2005 ichimaru gin cosplay, FAILED BIG TIME..!!!

Additional Comments : YAY BABY…!! i revived this cosplay and well, i find it really succesful for COMIWORLD 2007. *thumbs up*

—failed cosplay, so dun wanna put any pic up…=P —

2nd day - Seguchi Tohma from Gravitation

For this dude, i bleached my hair (TWICE!) and got my parents going ballistic over me. And, this was like, the part where i started getting hooked to leather cosplays. It was kinda fun with the group.

HEY, what more can a yaoi fangirl like me ask for? OBVIOUSLY we’ll cosplay YAOI and have YAOI shoots…..AND YEOW…i love my blonde hair that time…got almost every head turning and looking at me in college…HAHAHAHHAH……*winks*

Additional Comments : DOUBT that i’m going to cosplay this character again. my leather coat is busted (but i’m getting a replacement)…but, WHO KNOWS? i might just revive this character because i LOVE KEYBOARDS AND PIANO!!!

GACC 2006

Ichimaru Gin (2nd attempt)

Yeap, this was my 2nd attempt in cosplaying this dude. I wouldn’t say i failed miserably, i had a wig that time though. It was an improvement from that of CF’s 1st attempt. HOWEVER, to me, i still failed this cosplay..BUT, i did have fun there. It was an experience, and there were soooooooooo many bleachers there..haha..

– also can’t find any pic from that time +_+ —

Atobe Keigo of Prince of Tennis

THE KING OF HYOTEI..!! ATOBE SAMA..!! *hears the chant in the background*

I got this costume 1 week before i wore it for this event…and originally, i have no plans to wear it that soon. MY sempai, KAS, actually requested me to help her for her performance that time…so thinking that this was a good opportunity to debut this costume, i promised her. MAN, i’m cosplaying this dude in a performance..!! MY MAIDEN PERFORMANCE..!! CRAP…..

ANYWAY, i was fun…(And a bit intimidating) performing in front of so many people. GOOD THING, i had my back facing the audience. (YEAP, i faced my big fat @$$ to the audience) but hey, i didn’t know my japanese sounded..so native..haaha…many people approached me after that and asked me whether i was part japanese…HAHAHAHAHAH…..i was like..HUH!?!? NO…i’m 100% malaysian, and i’ve ever set foot on japanese soil before….XD

Additional Comments : OF COURSE I’M REVIVING THIS DUDE..!! and i’m waiting for my ryoma…..OR tezuka…(so i can PWN his ass real good….yaoi or tennis style…you name it..HAHAHAHHA)

CF2006

1st Day - Roy Mustang (FMA) & Kaoru Hitachinn (Ouran)

Roy Mustang was really really really really fun to cosplay.!! how could you watch FMA, and not love this guy?! and to top it off, my costume was sOOoooooooooo well made…..YEAP, i would say this cosplay was a success…my hair was right, the costume was right, the boots were awesome (Got them in shanghai..HAHA)…..

THEN, i changed to Kaoru’s costume…Well, this cosplay for me…was a real FLOP…..i have no idea why, somehow, this costume, made me look FAT..!! my hair was wrong, EVERYTHING was wrong…(AND DAMN…I HATE BEING THE UKE..!!!)

nevertheless, i still enjoyed with the group. it was soooo much fun…

Additional Comments : I’m cosplaying Roy Mustang again very soon, because my chibified edward has just ordered her costume….so be prepared for a royXed coupling..XD XD…

As for Kaoru Hitachinn, Nope, and confirmed no more revival of him, because i’ve already sold off my costume, reason was because the costume was too large for me to wear anymore…the fittings were all out….!!

2nd Day - Heine Westenfluss from Gundam Seed Destiny

This cosplay was a 1 hit homerun. It was successful on my very first attempt. I LOVED this character to bits…i dunno why, i kinda just…fell in love with him when i first saw him appear. (though he only appeared for 3 episodes and then got killed) Somehow, he left a significant mark in my mind. OK OK ..!! I ADMIT…HIS SEIYUU WAS ALSO Takanori Nishikawa (AKA TM REVOLUTION )…..it was funny walking around, and since his name was soooooo hard to remember, many ppl asked me,’ EH, you’re cosplaying that dude that died in 3 episodes rite?!?!’…or ‘ EH, you’re cosplaying that dude that got sliced in half by stellar rite?! kena pancung from the back wan rite!?’

his name is HEINE…HEINE WESTENFLUSS….drill that into your mind people!!!

Additional Comments : I WILL STILL REVIVE THIS CHARACTER…LOVE HIM TO BITS..!! XD XD XD

Taylor’s event 2007

Ayame Sohma from Fruits Basket

This character, was the first character i cosplayed with LONG hair. His oufit, was one of the MOST COMFORTABLE ONE i have in my collection. It was so easy to move around in this costume, though the long hair thingy was really bugging me because i was new to it. haha…anyway, fun guy to cosplay, i get to be myself most of the time…..the overconfident flamboyant snake…*winks*

Additional Comments : CRAP, his shoes got busted, i need a replacement….-_-lll

Comiworld 2007

1st Day - Takuma Ichijou from Vampire Knight

Ooooo…..i wore a coat..!! I WORE A GOD DAMN COAT..!! and man it looks sooooooo coool!!! (the costume)…one of my favourite costumes now….how could one resist cosplaying a blonde haired, clad in a kick ass white school uniform with AWESOME designs vampire!? to top it off, his weapon of choice is the katana…*melts*

And, this costume, has so many pockets, it is easy to move around without having anyone help me hold my purse and handphone!

I would say, this character is 70% successful. i took off 30% because of my character poses…(i cosplayed this guy without thinking of the poses….ARGH..BAD BAD BAD thing to do….) and also i was missing some accesories, like the necktie holder thingy, and the chest clip.

—can’t find pics for it…swt—

2nd Day - Ichimaru Gin (3rd attempt)

They say 3rd time’s a charm, and it really is!! i would say this 3rd attempt in ichimaru gin, was a real success. With a proper wig, proper portrayal and proper make up (yeah, first time making up for cosplay….so bite me…) i could say i pulled this off really well.

AND THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER PERFORMANCE..!! DAMN..!! good thing half of my vision was covered by the fringe of the wig, and i had to keep my eyes half shut all the time, so i didn’t really see what’s in front of me, i just had to do my thing…..

FUN FUN FUN COSPLAY!!!!

Additional Comments : After the cosplay, my jaw went numb…literally, because i’ve been grinning the entire day for photos and performance….-_-lll Nevertheless, LOVED IT REALLY MUCH!!

CF2007

1st Day - Rabi from D Gray Man

I love this costume so much..! it’s leather..!!!

but man, to cosplay this dude, it wasn’t an easy thing….there was wig to style (which failed miserably), hammer to make (ok, this was a success), boots to get (Also another success!! YAY!), eyepatch…

ARGH……but one weakness this costume had was, the top wasnt’ long enough to cover my ass….(noticed that all my previous costumes covered my ass?)

yeah, as a result, i look fat as….*insertwordhere*….Anyway, i m definitely reviving this character, and i’m currently working on reducing my body weight, hopefully i’ll cosplay this character better in the future…

2nd Day - Yazoo from FF Advent Children

WHOA……GAY LOOKING DUDE IN LEATHER Cool Long silver hair dude in leather..!! Hmm, i would say this was 75% successful, because i didn’t have my weapon (velvet nightmare) with me, i didn’t manage to finish it in time, so i had to go weaponless..T^T

However, i still enjoyed this cosplay really much, it fitted my really really well, and MAN, i dunno why, but i felt really er…’COOL’ wearing this costume (cool as in YENG, KAKOI…not sejuk, or cold)

Wearing this costume needs determination man, not only must you wear a long wig, you have to wear leather gloves, long pants, knee length boots, and a leather coat that covers every inch of your body…IN MALAYSIA..!!! (man, i feel the temperature rising typing this….-_-lll)

Additional Comments : WOHOO….REDOING THIS COSPLAY THIS YEAR FOR CF2nd DAY..!!! this time with my BROTHERS..!!! KADAJ AND LOZ…(i hope they dun pull out though…*prays*)

Nilai Event 2008

Takuma Ichijou from Vampire Knight (2nd attempt)

This time, i had everything, the katana, the accesories, the right wig….and YEAP.. i love my cosplay this time….in fact, one of the photos taken has been my current favourite…Obviously there were photoshop editing done to it, but how much can you edit from a photo? THUMBS UP to this cosplay..!! XD XD VAMPIRE KNIGHT BANZAI!!! XD

Additional Comments : I wore one of the accesories (the necktie-colar thing) to my Convo in LimKokWing, and guess what, Tan Sri himself praised it, saying that it was nice and cool! XD XD

GACC 2008

1st Day - Allen Walker from D Gray Man

ARGH, originally, my first day cosplay was supposed to be Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass, but there was a wardrobe malfunction, whereby the measurements were OFF, and i couldn’t fit the costume.

So i had to switch to Allen Walker and join my friends who cosplayed the same series. I never knew that it could be SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! We were playing cards on the floor with the gang and suddenly sooooooooo many photographers were snapping photos of us. i was thinking, what’s so nice about taking pictures of a couple of cosplayers playing cards? then i realised…OMFG, THIS IS SIMILAR TO ONE SCENE IN THE ANIMe..!! but somehow, rinali kept winning, and i kept losing…….AND my master kept dissing me…….SHISHO….+__+

Additional Comments : The costume isn’t mine, so i doubt i’ll be cosplaying this guy again……..ANOTHER THING IS…..THIS COSTUME IS JINXed..!!! i got feverish after wearing this costume, same as the owner…!! (she TOO was feverish a day after wearing this costume)

OR, i could be the condition of the weather, try wearing leather costume that covers every inch of your body, leather gloves and basking under malaysia’s ever great Sunshine. You’ll get what i mean.

2nd Day - Ahtrun Zala from Gundam Seed

I LOVED THIS COSPLAY SOOOOOO MUCH..! i’ve always wanted to cosplay someone ishida akira voiced. And ahtrun has always been my favourite character in the gundam seed/seed destiny series (after heine)

To top it off, i have my good friend cosplay lacus clyne! (yeap, i’m an Athrun X Lacus supporter…..dun ask why…just accept it..)

During the photoshoot, it was sooooo much fun, trying out lovey dovey poses, omake shots….i was sooooo immersed in the character that at one point, i really thought of myself as lacus’s fiance….(and frankly speaking, lacus is one of the few female characters i like…i never liked female characters, lacus was one of the few special ones)

Additional Comments : WOHOO…cosplaying Ahtrun again FOR SURE..!! trying to get his wig now, and there will be a major photoshoot in august or july..i hope…

Acgc 2008

1st day - Alleluyah /Halleluyah Haptism from Gundam 00

Quite successful i would say, just that I HAVE TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT to cosplay this guy. Cosplaying him is like cosplaying Agito/Akito from Air gear.

another fun cosplay, and the costume was so comfortable! Definitely cosplaying this guy again in the future, i’m growing my hair now to suit him…i would say, in august or september, there will be another photoshoot on gundam 00. ^^

2nd Day - Kaito Wanijima from Air Gear

WOHOO…first time flaunting my shoulders while cosplaying. This dude was so much fun to cosplay..!! and i get to look all badass (holding a cigarrette, bullying my younger brother agito)

and COMFORTABLE COSTUME.!!!! it was so much fun during the photoshoot……XD XD

there will be a photoshoot coming up in the near future (under planning now)…so hopefully i’ll be able to pull him off well again….XD

.

Hmm..there were several other characters that i didn’t list here, like my kaiba seto cosplay, my tamaki cosplay….(small conventions and the likes…so not really worth mentioning…haha..)

NYao…..*wipes sweat*

i never knew, reminiscing my cosplay experience so far is so….exhausting….0___0…BUT, regardless, it has been fun so far…there has been so many occasions that i’ve been asked whether or not i’ll quit this crazy hobby of mine, well, DUH NO..!! of course not!!! what i do now is always directed towards cosplay..!! XD XD

so, COSPLAY RAWKS..!! XD XD best hobby i’ve had so far..!! XD XD XD
