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

DAY 1 ANICULT
I cosplayed as Haruna from Kantai Collection !
It's my new costume made for ANICULT and it's such a comfortable costume ~ one of the costumes that I don't mind wearing for long hours !

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 !

Me fangirling Orochi-sama but unfortunately " senpai never noticed me " . ;-;
It's okay because Orochi-sama is still the coolest !!
![DSC04083](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3919/14631020091_86622eb574_z.jpg)
With Gundam-sama !!
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 Reika as Zhao Yun and Soo Weai as Yuan Ji !
Dynasty Warriors have such vibrant costumes and so many ways you can play with the fabric and trimmings , as a costume maker ~ it's a really exciting project to work on ! d(=^・ω・^=)b

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 !!
