All our lives, we are waiting for something to change... to get us out of our boring routines.

But when changes actually do come, we are afraid, afraid to move forward, afraid of embracing changes in our lives.

x__x





sorry, that was something that came suddenly to me quite some time ago while watching a movie on scv ch 17 hallmark channel. Hallmark channel broadcasts many beautiful stories about life... ^^
And I happen to be feeling just that way... now and then.


btw, other birthday photos (VivoCity):




The 3 belated birthday gals, including me :p

The group photo of 6 of us isn't that nice (either my camera's fault or the guy we asked to help us take the photo), so i'm not putting it up. some other time, some other photo.

omg omg.

I'm like crying now.

Fruits Basket.
I've just bought the latest vol 21 and I'm reading vol 22 Japanese online.

They're finally released from the curse.
Everyone, including Akito.

It's so touching... can't help but cry.

They can finally hug the ones they love.

And Kyou. Kyou and Tohru.
Kyou's part is the most touching. He can finally tear off his beads without changing into the monster.

And for Yuki, you actually "see" the cute rat "spirit" leaving him.
(It's kinda sad when you see it this way. Although it's a happy thing that they are finally free...)


kyaa!!!!
Fruits basket is ending soon.
Think vol 23 or 24 is the last.

*sob*

---------------------------------------------

Edit:

I just read vol 23 the last volume for fruits basket series!!!!!!!

And I'm crying like dunno what now...
It's so touching... everyone has a happy ending.

After everyone was released from the curse, Akito called for a gathering... revealed to everyone that she's a girl, and said sorry for everything she did. Got together with Shigure.

Yuki went to Uni and moved out to live on his own, giving a duplicate key to that student council girl. They're attached by this time.

Kyou and Tohru left together to start a new life (cos Kyou wanna run a dojo like his master or sth. i didn't read in detail).

Basically everyone has a happy ending and almost everyone has a bf/gf/getting married etc.

But it's so sad because everyone is leaving to live their separate lives.
And they show flashbacks of each of the Jyuunishi (the 12 horoscopes) meeting Tohru. It's so sweet and sad.

And Yuki's words to Tohru, thanking her and everything... *sniffles*

Why can't they like gather all together for a party before leaving??? I wanna see them having fun together!!!!!!!!! *sobs*

And the last last part showed Kyou and Tohru as an old married couple hand in hand. Not old as in really old with white hair and all that, but it seems like they have a granddaughter...

I'm so sad Fruits Basket has ended!!!
So so so sad!!!!!!!!!!
Touching but sad!!!!!!!

Event: eoy 2006
Date: 16th Dec
Venue: Expo


Somehow, eoy tis yr wasn't as fun as June/July cosfest.
And my camera sux. argh. i really wanna change cameras. wonder if can sell off 2nd hand and buy new one.

I'll post the more interesting/strange photos first. Robots and full costumes:


I love the robot above. This cosplayer always does beautiful robot costumes. The only strange thing is... that's a guy cosplayer in CUTE robot costumes.


I have no idea where this white penguin came from...


This chocolate thingy looks damn familiar but i can't rem where it's from.


Now to the more usual cosplay:


xxxholic.
sorry, laysh, i didn't manage to get the whole group photo. it was too dark when they were performing on stage. the more i zoom in, the darker the photo gets. couldn't get any stage photos.
but the group consists of tsubasa and xxxholic combined. didn't manage to get a pic of kurogane too. the kurogane wasn't tt bad...


Death note. Light/Raito didn't look like at all. But L was ok, maybe because you can't see the face.


Vampire Knight.
I love the uniform!!!!!!!
And the manga art for this series is very beautiful. I really wanna read the manga...


Tsubasa reservoir chronicles. Not the same group as the one combined with xxxholic above though.


Oh oh! Gotta tell you this. I was so surprised to see yaoi cosplay there!!! hahaha. This is a character from a yaoi hardcore game, Togainu no Chi. hee~ it's sad that her seme was sick and couldn't attend the event though.


Kisuke from Bleach. There was a bleach team present, but this time they weren't the star group of the event. haha. so many previous cosfest the biggest and most popular team was bleach, but not this time. instead, naruto and FFVII AC ruled.

It's a pity though... many of the cosplayers like to pose against the sunlight. i mean, the camera was against the sunlight. couldn't take photos at all!
So many problems with the lighting. the inside was kinda dark, the outside was sometimes too bright.


FFVII AC.
The Kadaj (in front) was really chio. That's why she could succesfully cosplay as Kadaj. This goes to say... you must really be pretty in order to do a good cosplay! honestly! Although they say cosplay is for fun, but i still think if you wanna cosplay, must be pretty. if not most of the time it'll be a flop.
She won 2nd place for individual cosplay contest. (through voting) but very few ppl voted only. and those who vote voted for their friends instead.


See the Kadaj? :)


Ok, i got more photos la. but only putting the better ones up. and uh... actually i took v few photos tis time only. nothing really interesting. and i couldn't catch all the interesting and nice ones. so...

Anyway, on to the dolls! The dolls are so pretty!!!
There were so many collection of dolls on display...



Pretty right? I have to apologise though... I took this with flash because i didn't see the sign that says no flash allowed. Sorry!!!




xxxholic dolls!!! so nice right? you can see mokona (oh wait. i think the black one is not called mokona) or mokona's black twin near Yuuko's knees...

k tt's it for photos.
