CURE festival 2013

CURE has been promoted in Singapore in recent years, but it is the first time they had a Festival ALONE. That being said, it is not that alone because, in the same area, an international competition for dragonboat is being held, and there’s a social enterprise carnival as well… so it feels weird when the host a few steps away announced that the Myanmar dragonboaters are now in lane 3, blah blah blah & our MC here for CURE fest is asking cosplayers questions.

——UPDATE:——————————-

Just check out facebook. Apparently, the cosplayers had formed a team to do some dragonboating on the 2nd day. *laughs* Now, now, what shall we do about that?

————————————————-

I say, well, it’s only here in Singapore that we can do that. The Rojak practice.

Here is Pitcha, the special guest for this event. Below, he posts with fans here.

We first saw Yzak, who likes to show Athrun who’s the boss with the way he sits (like a boss). And later, the rest of the ZAFT team.

We also saw a few other animes, including the old school ones, which I love.

And the next few photos are M with the other Gintama cosplayers.

I believe DAY 2 has just ended but I have spent the day at home editing these pictures instead.

[BANGKOK] A portion of Grand Palace

OVERSEAS | roam

BANGKOK | thailand

My impression of Bangkok was not a particularly good one… I think there are people who could understand that. But here’s a portion of the grand palace under the scorching sun.

SEA Aquarium || Fish Theatre

This is so beautiful.

SEA Aquarium {Baby Jelly Fish}

These are soooo cute, they captured our hearts! M kept saying they are the UFO in Tsuritama, which doesn’t seem a lot untrue.

There seems to be a lot of people who are going to the  SEA Aquarium seeing as  I kept seeing photos popping up in FB after ours… I suspect it is because of the 15% discount thingy. I think everyone enjoyed the trip there It’s really great and peaceful.

SEA Aquarium [[ Luna Moon Jelly Fish ]]

I was about to upload the thailand video when I realised I had yet uploaded the Aquarium videos… I will slowly upload here…

These are the Luna Moon Jelly Fish. They are very distinct by their 4 hoof-shaped sex organs.

Labrador Park

We went to the Labrador Park recently. It was where I saw my first squirrel.

The first thing we saw was the police coast guard so front up close. After we neared it, it was too late and even after waiting for a while, this was the closest I could capture a photo of it.

The Choppy waves… had to take a photo of it.

There were a couple of people fishing, and I think I was too un-pro at trying to snip a photo of people fishing that this woman left before  I could take a photo of her preparing. She left her rod there for a while.

There were Indian boys who were fishing without rods, it was interesting, and I was hoping to see more, but that would be a little rude.

Then we went up high so much so that everything was so scary and tiny.

The wild orchids are pretty. I could not resist taking a few photos of it.

The Nature Reserve part of it. This is the nearest storeroom to the outskirts. This stores ammunition.

|End – Sorry no squirrel photos even though I mention them|

Konnichiwa! Japan Cultural Fest

This looks to be the season for Japanese festivals. I chanced upon people preparing for the Games Carnival part of the Japanese Cultural Festival and took some photos.

We later went to the festival another day with the free games tickets I managed to get and really enjoyed myself. I like playing the games even though I didn’t win anything other than the 1000 strings, which is really, impossible to lose.

BUT! We took a yukata photo each (well, we took together and paid for two photos instead) which was a great souvenir.

A year older

Thank you to all the well wishes. Thank you for putting up with me for so long. I’ll try my best to be less easily upset and more cheerful. I’ll try to grow up more – To learn more in my areas of interest.

Let’s have a better year!

Kikki.K [enjoy series]

Years ago, when I first worked in a bookstore, I was placed in the life section after some time. It was there that I had encountered Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project. I was attracted by the slightly tattered copy of The Happiness Project with it’s bright colours of the cover and lively and factual narrative style of writing. I ended up buying the copy. I had finished the book, and had set it down with the other books in my room since, but I was pleasantly surprised when Kikki.K started to work with The Happiness Project and produced a series of Happiness-related products. I love them immensely, and had to purchase some of the products with my discount coupons.

[ A set of postcards + Stamps ]

I like Kikki.K store, but had never really found any reason to purchase it’s products. With this series, I am suddenly tempted to get so many products. I could have gone over to their website to purchase their products, but I was unable to resist going right over to the store to ogle over the products in action — thus that was exactly what I did…. boy had I had a hard time choosing what to get. Therefore, I was really happy to get these.

Definitely can’t wait to start stamping all over and also displaying the postcards…. these were really too lovely to be sent out. I would have to purchase another set for sending purposes.
