Searching for Tailor....

2010-10-19T19:41:00.000-07:00

Finally something to write about hu…hu…hu .. I have been brain dead for the past several months always thinking and thinking about what to write and how to write it because hey, let’s face it I am not writer who can do fancy words and such but now I have an idea haha and I like it…. So I better wrote it down or type it before the juice is gone…..

For the past following weeks I have been looking and researching for a tailor, a good one that is but I don’t mind having one that like a challenge, why may you ask the reason is simple I want to do some cosplay yeah….. and the costume must be done by an experienced tailor or at least a good one though. I tried making my own and it is a disaster like I said previously.

Well, it was ok at first, once I finished all the necessary sewing but after I thrown it in the wash that’s where it turn ugly urgh!!! I don’t even want to begin describing it only that it turn out something very terrible then I thought what I need is a professional help or someone an expert in tailoring. So every weekend, every Saturday after work, I have been walking around KK searching for a good tailor asking them if they can make a good costume the ones like the anime. But not necessary 100% the same, I also bring up a few pictures that they can cross reference with. On top of that I even went and research on few fabrics he…he… it was tiring walking around KK but it was fun, I get to explore lots and lots of places.

At first I was afraid of rejection and people are not as pleasant as they are friendly but I persevere, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. Either way I found a few good shops that are able to take the challenge of making a costume but there is this one tailor who thinks that the costume will be used in a choir, of course I did not deny it for it is better that way elaboration is not needed because it is simpler. But of course most of the tailor that I ask needed me to provide the fabric. But I don’t mind I get lots and lots of experiences while I was doing the research I even have fun. It’s been a while since I did this kind of thing. It was fulfilling hehe.

But the fear of walking alone is also a problem because there was the incident of the nurse being murdered, stripped naked and was thrown in to a ditch somewhere. It was scary but and I don’t want to end up being like that but life is a risk so I gather up my courage and pray to god that no harm come upon me.
Well anyway when my next paycheck comes I will buy all the necessary fabric and here I come….

Strong Charaters are my favorite.....

2010-08-11T00:24:00.000-07:00

I always loved a strong women character in an anime, character like Sophie in Howls Moving Castle, Kyoko Mogami in Skip Beat and Chihiro in Spirited Away though Chihiro start as a spoiled child but she somehow manage to overcome her fears and childish ways and save her parents who have been turned into pigs.. There are other characters as well but these three have always been my favorite character every since I watch the animes. Kyoko character is really lovable in many ways, I really loved the part where Kyoko found out about Shoutaro true feelings about her and instead of crying and being sorry for herself she sought revenge in the same industry as Shoutaro and eventually that revenge became her dream. I really loved to see how this story end up but unfortunately since online manga have been banned or licensed (T _T), it is hard to follow-up the story because the manga does not being sold here in Sabah. I guess I have to rely on online shopping then which is such a hassle because the postal service can be very cruel most of the times cause they will steal your things and blame it on lost on delivery.
But hey my costume is done, I am really happy and proud about it but I have no guts to wear at public because of course who wants to see an amateur work..... but maybe one day I will be gutsy enough to wear because hey people this is my own hard work I spend many blood and sweat on it and it may not be perfect but I made it with my own two hands and that is worth something.

I don't even know why I have to explain this.....

2010-08-10T00:25:00.000-07:00

Most of my friends ask me why I put Sakura pudding pie in my blog rather than anything serious and I said that it’s my blog I have a right put whatever I want right, but just to satisfy their curiosity, I explained that it’s the 3 things that I like. Sakura is a Japanese flower that I happen to like although I never even touch or smell one, it just something about the flower that every time I see it either in the picture or on the internet, it was calming and almost tranquil so the Sakura flower become one of my favorite flower, Pudding is something that I really like to eat. It’s smooth and easy to swallow and it has all kinds of flavor, I like honey dew flavor and every now and then I would make lots and lots of pudding. A pie is not the one that can be eaten but a math pie but I don’t like math, anyway…a pie to me is a circle and a circle is something extraordinary to me at least a circle can mean so many ways, like I said it’s just extraordinary.
Now my address is chisaachan-shushidream.blogspot.com why sushidream you may ask sushi is the best food that I know. I like to even before I taste it, my first paycheck was spent at Wagamama Sushi Restaurant it was amazing; the sushi I mean, but my favorite place to eat sushi is at somewhere behind the GSC old cinema once were before they moved to Suria shopping mall.
I do not know the name of the place but it has many restaurant that sells seafood and plus many other stalls that sells including sushi, Japanese ice creams and bunch of other things. Now the owner of the sushi stall is true Japanese and he does not speak English well, everyone call him sensei and every time I went to his stall, he knew my order before I even ask because every time I go there I only order one thing and that is ‘chiraishi sushi’ and he always put extra –extra salmon and the price is really cheap.
Now guys really….!!! do I have to explain everything. So there the name won’t change and I really hope you enjoy explanation… ^_^

And Hear The Sound of Silence......

2010-07-09T00:45:00.001-07:00

Some of my friends can’t understand why I like to run off and be by myself sometimes, they would think that I have a secret boyfriend or something hehe. The idea of being alone is not welcoming to some. I, myself sometimes feel that the loneliness is too overwhelming; it crushes your very sanity, your ability to think straight, it consumes your mind like the locust. That’s why if you locked up a person alone and leave him then came back to get him after a time, you will find him quite insane.

Now I’m not saying that I am an insane person, I do enjoy the company of my friends most of the time especially hearing their wacky stories and jokes and some are really not for kiddies to hear but when I am alone I like to indulge in my fantasies and let my imagination run wild, I can see all the possibilities laid before me… at times I just like the silence and with the silence you can hear the world. The sound of wind blowing gently in your ears, the sound of the rustling grass being blown and the birds chirping on the trees, on the distance you can hear the ocean the waves crashing the shore when sea meets land and the world is a beautiful place again. I feel like I am inside Miyazaki’s world. He…he… that’s why they say speeches are silver and silence is gold.

Disaster!!!!!! NOOOO.....................................

My eyes are wide awake; 3 cups of coffees are enough to get me through a night without sleep. But the rings around my eyes are clearly visible along with my eyes that have turn red because of sleep deprive but amazingly I did not feel sleepy or tired, all I was thinking all night long is to finished the costume, I guess that’s what people meant when they say you can do anything if you set your mind on it. Well, eventually I finished the costume but the last part is a total disaster. On the internet they make it look so easy and it say that it is much easier if you use iron-on paper rather than having drown the logo itself so I bought the paper that cost me a fortune only to have it iron the wrong way. How frustrated is that. I wasted my sleep just to see a horrible ending to my costume. But I guess it was partially my fault I was terribly rushing knowing fully that I do not have efficient time and resource….but I really want to participate on the event that day. It was a messy morning, my sis wake up and saw me kinda in a fit so she lend her genius brain on helping my problem and voila she figured it out like a snap after wasting a few of my so cheap paper but I guess, to make it right you have to do some wrong first. that is how we learn. For what is worth… thanks sis. I was already rushing so as my sis too over with my costume I went to get ready to get to the city leaving my costume and my sis behind. And so I did not get to wear it today it was sad but there is always another day beside I could use this time to really concentrate in sewing it and not just ‘main cincai saja’. It was a really long night for me and on the bus I feel asleep only to wake up just seconds after arriving at the terminal it was really a good timing few seconds later I would have been woken up by the conductor and that would be embarrassing so I get off the bus and went straight to Tang Dynasty hotel only to find out that the meeting had been delayed and that it will only start at 10am great I was rushing for nothing. In the morning they serve breakfast I have another cup of coffee so I can get my mind straight. What happen during the meeting is even more interesting and some of it are really personal it was a heated discussion but we don’t have to hear all that but what choice do we have I got bored half way around the meeting so I went down to the shop for a new shoe because the shoes that I was wearing that day was spoiled and ‘dia punya tapak terbuka’…what a bad day I was having…first my costume and now my shoes CMON!
After i repeatedly said it's ok, it's ok, although i was deceiving myself because there goes my $$$$ buying shoes (T~T), I went back to the meeting only to find that the meeting is still in a heated discussions especially about money( Lagi pasal duit sudahla sya sedih pasal duit lagi ckap pasal duit). So I did what any other person who is sleep deprived do in a boring meeting, I sleep and what a good sleep it is I didn’t even feel the discomfort of the chair and the sleep just came in naturally without much effort of getting to sleep. After the meeting, we have lunch at the hotel and then I was off to Centre Point to watch the DOTA tournament but I did not stay long as it was getting late and there won’t any bus left going back to Papar but before I go I went went to have a picture with cosplayers at CP and that ladies and gentlemen make my day….

A New Beginning.........

2010-06-25T01:38:00.000-07:00

It all started when my cousin say “mari kita pegi citymall ada event yang byk animation tu mesti ko suka kan Ita.” So we went and it was glorious. It was Hobbycon 2009, wow! There are so many cosplayers. It was exciting, fun and really great all. As I watched all those cosplayers, there surface a tiny spark inside my heart some kind of a calling of interest then I found myself thinking this is really something I should try this then I started thinking about what anime character I want to display and one thing led to another. The tiny spark lingers on inside my head until I get home and I went up to my sis to ask her opinion (when actually I want some encouragement) but unfortunately I ask the wrong person. My sis is somewhat a pessimist reply to me that cosplayers are people who lived in the dream world rather than living in reality, and because Japan is the most stressful country with its people having known to be suicidal if they were unable to find a job or being unemployed the Japanese are the best in creating an alternate reality. Why couldn’t she just say, “Oh? These are a new interest of yours; if you wanna do it then go for it” but even if she said it she would have a toneless expression and her voice will be dry meaning that she doesn’t care in the world what you do just as long as it doesn’t bother her. And so like a candle lit being blown off, the tiny spark is gone. But from time to time my thoughts will whisper to my ears saying I can do it. It was not until May 2010 when I returned from the screening of Evangelion movie that I truly and finally decided that I wanna cosplay and so a seed are planted……to be continue
