Hello Guys !
I'm not gonna use the " it's been awhile " on you again this time lol. Truth is I've been really busy with events and making costumes for the first 3 months of the year ! It's almost end of March now and I've been to 4 different cities as cosplay guest so far namely Surabaya , PekanBaru , Bali and Ho Chi Minh City. ლ(´◉❥◉`ლ)
You've heard me say this many times that I feel truly blessed being able to travel and cosplay , meeting more people along the way and experiencing different cultures ! ( FOOD YAY !! ) Besides posting just photos on my page , I figured maybe some of you would love to read about my cosplay adventures ? So , let's gooooo !!!
=====================================================================
Surabaya Anime and Toys Fair 2015
It's my second time attending cosplay event in Surabaya ~ my first event in Surabaya was ANICULT 2014. This time I'm really lucky to have my Princess Hermes traveling with me ! Sometimes I do get lonely going to airport and flying by myself so with Hermes coming along with me it's much more fun hehe.
When we arrived in the airport , we were greeted by many smiling faces ! Though I feel shy seeing my face and such a big banner , thank you so much guys for preparing this for me. I know it takes a lot of effort to design and wanting to make me feel welcomed ! Appreciate your lovely thoughts very much ! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Hermes and I were staying in Sheraton Surabaya during our trip here ! I think that a nice and comfy room is very important especially when I'm back at night after event , I can have a good rest ! The beds and pillows are super soft that my body sort of melted when I lay on it lol ! * cough * ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )
This room has lots of mirrors too which were my favourite part of the room ! Since Hermes and I are pretty vain , we don't need to fight for mirrors when doing our make up ! * laughs *
Selfies because we are enjoying the room very much !
Lots of space for my luggage too ~ can even roll on the floor ! XD
For the first day , we were too tired to eat out so we had room service !
I've forgotten the name of the dish already but not the taste. It was spicy but I enjoyed it very much ~ my fav was the banana dessert ! It's so yummy that I wanna have it again one day !
Here we were like " Eh faster take selfie the ice-cream is melting !!!!! "
Usually the camera sort of " eats " first before us lol.
=====================================================================
After our lunch , we head out to check out the event area ! (●´∀`)ノ♡
Checking out all the cutey nendoroids ! I collect nendoroids so I'm very excited seeing nendoroids displays . Those big , big eyes staring back at you is just toooooo much to handle ! (*´∀`*人*´∀`*)
Mirai-Chan in Surabaya ! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
A handmade Digimon costume by a talented cosplayer in Surabaya .
All the awesome movie props replica . Or is it the real ones they use on movie set ? I can't really tell but it's amazing being able to see real-life props from the movies that I like !
Have a Ted lol.
Cool looking bike with Inori from Guilty Crown printed on it !
Do you wanna go on a date with Kurumi ?
Superman booth with a super cute puppy in front of it !
Sailormoon is being captured by some kind of monster lol.
Masked Rider to the rescue ~! Jang Jang Jang ~
Awesome Iron Man collection ~! It's made to look like the actual Iron Man hideout ~ all the Iron Man are made by a costume maker , looks so real !
Had amazing time with all the Surabaya people before event day ! Thanks for showing us around guys ! (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )
Met Punipun too who happen to be in Surabaya for work ~ such nice timing meeting her here because I'll be seeing her again the following weekend !
Had a lovely group photo before heading back to the hotel with our snacks hehe !
We were amazed when we saw these Magnums lol. We didn't have all these fancy flavours back in Malaysia so yeah we had three ice-cream that night ! XD
First day of Surabaya Anime and Toys Fair , I cosplayed as Asuna ( Sword Art Online ) Halloween ver. I really like the stripes and cat element in this costume so I made and debut this for the event !
♡。゚.(*♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡*)゚♡ °・
Loving all the mirrors in the hotel room !
It's easy to take outfit photos with all these big mirrors hehe.
Super cute Mirai-chan cosplayer in Surabaya !
Such loli ~ * HUGS *

♥~(‘▽^人)
With Phankness as Goku and Moel as Master Roshi .
Such amazing cosplays ~ so alike especially Master Roshi hehe.
With Kizuna's Smart Doll Owner ~ he handmade this costume for her . It's a White Mage's robe from Final Fantasy ! Talking bout dedication !
They have a lot of cutey mascots walking around the events ~ Mr Minion here is a good example !
What I enjoy most during events is to take pictures with people ~ even happier if it's selfie !
(≚ᄌ≚)ℒℴѵℯ❤
My sweet , sweet Princess.
There are games for people to try out too ~ I'm playing Wii Sports here I think. I'm not really into non-violent games but ehhhh it was fun being silly once in awhile !
I LOVE HUGS.
p/s : Only for the ladies . > ______ <
That pretty much sums up Day 1 of Surabaya Anime and Toys Fair !
My schedule is quite free for Day 1 , just signing session and I'm free to walk around and have lots of pictures with you guys !
For Day 2 of Surabaya Anime and Toys Fair , I cosplayed as Maki ( Love Live ) Chinese Dress Awaken ver. This costume is featured in my second photobook but I've never reaslly worn it to public before. It was fun wearing this because I really like brocade and all the gold trimmings . So shiny !
Sweet Hermes , my fav girl in the world.
Today we get to watch many KPOP Dance Cover performances and my fav group is the POISON BITCHES. ( yup , that's their group name ) They are all boys but dressing up as ladies for the performances. I really like how energetic and confident they are when they are performing. I hope I can dance well like them too !
(。・‧̫・。).**♡
Managed to have a photo with them after they change out !
They are really cute !
To be honest , I'm not really confident cosplaying as Maki because I don't think that I suit short haired characters ~ but wearing Maki to this event was fun ! Thanks to all who tells me that they like my costume. It means a lot , really !
♡ლζ(♛ε♛*ζლ♡
With Phankness cosplaying as Batman !
His Batman cosplay is really good , so handsome !
I'm also one of the judges for the STAF Cosplay Competition ! I like watching cosplay competitions a lot because I get to watch many talented cosplayers perform their skits and parade their awesome costumes. Surabaya have many talents too !
Congratulations to all the winners !
(>’o’)> ♥ <(‘o'<)
Day 2 Surabaya Toys and Anime Fair is all about KPOP Dance Cover Performances and Cosplay Competitions ~ The schedule is packed for the day but it was a different experience for me ! Since Hermes and I are KPOP fans too , we were really entertained by all the performances !
Thanks guys for making these lovely t-shirts ! I'm old enough to be called senpai now I'm sad lol. ( I wanna be young and loli but .... ) Thanks for all these lovely designs and for wearing it to show me ! I'm happy !
Thank you for all the lovely gifts from Surabaya !
You all shower me with so many gifts that I ..... need to get a box to ship all these back !
Thank you for all the well wishes and lovely messages. Love it !
(♥ω♥ ) ~♪
Special Pusheen Bouquet instead of flowers ~ So creative !
Thanks !
One last group photo after-event dinner with all these lovely people !
Thanks for the dinner and I'm really happy being able to spent this weekend with all of you !
( Hermes is happy too ! )
Often when I bring Hermes along with me for events , I'm afraid that she will be bored or lonely. But this time she enjoys herself very much too because everyone is kind and friendly ! Thank you so much for taking care of my princess .
Group photo before our flight back to Kuala Lumpur !

================================================
Then , we celebrated by eating my fav Texas Chicken lol
Totally unrelated but Texas Chicken is so crispy and yummy that I couldn't go back to KFC anymore lol.
This is the second time we travel to events together . I'm happy to share my travels with her and I'm glad to have her keep me company. ( thanks for taking leave for me smelly princess lol ) Surabaya Toys and Anime Fair 2015 is my first event of the year and what a great way to start the year ! Thanks for having us ! ( ˘ ³˘)❤
