ANICULT Surabaya 2014

Hello guys ~ (。´∀`)ノ

Was pretty productive today , managed to finish and touch up my final illustrations so I decided to take a break to work on my blog posts !

This year , I feel really blessed ~ especially on my birthday month that I was able to travel to 3 different conventions. Each convention has been wonderful and memorable for me. Tonight , let's talk bout ANICULT Surabaya 2014 !

Warning ! Image heavy post ahead :)

It's my first time travelling to KLIA 2 ! It's the new terminal for our low cost carriers ~ it's a big surprise for me because LCCT used to be very old * cough cough * and dingy lol. The new airport is so modern , clean and it feels like a shopping mall !

I wouldn't mind spending hours in this airport ! #honesty
So many restaurants to pick from , I can chill all I want ~ it makes the waiting much more bearable ! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

My hotel room for the next few days ~ very cozy and I brought my Monomi with me !

( when I returned to the hotel every night , the housekeeper arranged Monomi nicely on my bed lol , it's almost like she's greeting me " Welcome Back !! " :p )

Do you know that ANICULT had a doll exhibition too ? 
It's one of the highlights of the event that I really looked forward to !
I've always been fascinated with dolls , unfortunately I never get to save up for one because I just have .. too many hobbies. D: Perhaps , one day I will ~ making doll clothes for these lovelies will be so much fun !

We met many times before but this is the first time we get to talk to each other like a lot !
He has a very supportive wifey who helps him every convention he attends. That is love !

With Orochi as Nobuyuki Sanada from Samurai Warriors 4 and Pinky as Guan YinPing from Dynasty Warriors 8 !

Pinky's YinPing costume is so detailed ~ she cut and sewn all the crazy motifs on the sleeves , such dedication !

Orochi seems lonely cosplaying alone , no worries Pinky and I will be joining you soon !!
