I can say this is the craziest costume I’ve ever made … But not because of the design or difficulty, it’s all because of very limited time I had to finish it…
I almost getting sick and crazy, I never ever made any armored costume for only 1,5 months… it’s totally insane!!! Usually we need a minimal of 3 months to finished one…
I only sleep less than 4 hours everyday, of course not going anywhere on weekend… my face already look like Ju-On ghost more that Elf … sob …
But through the crazy and miserable times, I always had Orochi beside me and helping me, thank you honey …
The final result makes me want to cry … I’m stressed …
We missed a bunch of details and it’s not as accurate as we’ve targeted before…
This is an important lesson … never make your costume in rush, you will be so depressed to see the final result …
*I considering a remake for some part after AFA ended
Ah well, whatever … I’m still proud of my works though it’s not perfect… I just go with it, and here the photos from photoshoot :
Female Elf on Dynasty Bow Master Armor Version
Best part I quite satisfied, my Dynasty Bow …
I think it’s quite accurate~ yay~
( The Bow was handmade by me and Orochi in 3 days only without sleeping )
♥♥♥♥♥
Random photos... the making of Elf Armor, this is my sketch...
And Orochi's messed room~
♥♥♥♥♥
Oh and I miss these happy times, these are before me and Orochi getting crazy on my Elf costume making… lol … I should ask them to hang out again, once this is all over…
This is the first time for me to visited Medan, Orochi’s home town, I feel so excited …
Medan’s food really famous because of its delicious taste and sure I’m not losing this chance to tried it as much as I can ate lolz
( Forget about diet, you can do it later, anyway I’m already fat so diet isn’t that important again for me )
Beside that, I also can meet in person (finally) some of my Facebook friends from Medan, and of course lot of Orochi’s old friends… it was very fun and I wish for a second chance to come there another time… ~

Okay then…
A day after we had performed at Cambridge, we moving to Berastagi for another cosplay performs and photo shoot…

♣Well, to be honest, I feels so happy that now I finally got my cosplay passion back, to see these people’s smile, means that at least our costume works can make other people happy…
You know, since around 3 years ago, I slowly lost my passion into cosplay cause… I think it’s like our costume works only makes other cosplayers who are attention seeker or movie star wannabe getting mad and hates us for keep making costume, dunno why…
But as I already mentioned before, those people smile sure makes my cosplay passion slowly comes back… So yeah, I think I’ll cosplaying to makes other people like them happy instead to satisfied my own self~
♣I really didn’t mind to be labeled as ‘Clown’ okie? It’s very OKAY for me, because you know that Clown makes people laugh, laugh means they are happy right? (please exclude clowns from horror movies) … It’s rather for me being a clown then terrorist, terrorist makes other people sad and suffering…
♣ After quite a long time, I’m happy to heard honest compliments from people around … thank you so much for appreciating our works…
Usually I only got honest compliments from Vienni and a few true friends of mine… the rest? The rest is just fake compliments from majority of Indonesian cosplayers that for me are just some kind of disgusting two facedwhom want to ‘used’ us only …
♣ And we also got a lot of nice friends here... I mean real friends ... a long time ago, cosplay can make yourself getting more friends and acquittance, well it WAS... some years lately I even swore to myself, never wish for a friend from Indonesian cosplay community, all you will got only two faced hypocrite people around... Of course I still found some nice Indo cosplayers to befriend with these late years but it's only a few of them whom still cosplaying for fun, don't ask me the rest...

Delicious Medan’s Foods comes… ~
♥ Fountain
Fountain is a famous café in Medan, their specialty is Ice Cream
O yeah, these all ours alrighty?
My only question is, why they didn’t open any branch in Jakarta??
Their Ice Cream really yummy~
More foods from traditional market~
And these also all ours haha
( I know we are being greedy but who cares? )
Taty said that she and Orochi likes to ate these foods when they still in high school… and Orochi likes Sate Padang mixed with instant snack so much, she also said that there is still a lot of foods I haven’t tried yet… sob…
I hope next time I can tasted more foods from Medan…
♥♥♥
At Polonia Airport, Medan
With Megah and Taty
Thank You for everything, friends
Hope we can meet again soon
Huuu … I really wanna go back in there again…
♥♥♥
Back to Jakarta~
I got some new stuff I bought lately…
Books as always, I almost jumping around to saw that Black Butler at Gramedia… I’m a big fan of Ciel Phantomhive ~
Stuff from Etude House, Skin Food…
Anna Sui… I love this color~
I bought some Swarovski Crystal and zinged my BB Case~
The Making of this costume really stressful, the details just about knocked us out to death…
Whaaaaaah… 5 months like… dun go anywhere every weekend, sleep late almost every night … nyuh~
This costume made by sweat, blood and tears ( for real!!! )
Sweat … of course we’ve got sweeten, my house and Monppii’s old house is somehow hot like hell… hueeh… ...
*Luckily now Monppii got a brand new house that much more comfortable for costume making
Blood , well yea… every costume always asked for ‘Blood Sacrifice’ to be done … not a surprising story ~
And TEARS!!! OMG… I’ve been cried about 3-4 times… because of this costume, I dunno why, I never cried before though I ever made another detailed costume like Isis, some Kamael’s detail is really hard for me to mold … ( Pardon my lack of skill )
And when I was felt like … Oh my, I gave up … I started to cried because I just thinks like I’m such an idiot and we won’t finished this costume forever… haha… very embarrassing but I’m glad it’s all over now~
Thanks Monppii for always cheering me up, I really can’t make any costume without you beside me…
But the most important part is this costume made with our love ~
Though it’s far away from perfect, but I’m proud that we can make it together, Monppii …
I love how you portraying Kamael, for me you always be an Angel …
( Though… to be honest, I’m already sick with Kamael, I’m staring his picture like what for 5 months, I know Kamael is a gorgeous creature but my eyes just can’t take him for more… )
Okay then, I think I’m enough for rumbling … Share you some photos from our Private Shoot~
A bit spooky story about our photo location, it was a creepy old house, and an old man who lived there with his wife told us a story about a ghost named Shi Shi, I dunno how it spelled, is it Shi Shi or Zhi Zhi or maybe Zhe Zhe …
She was once a pretty Chinese girl who lived in Indonesia around ‘Hindia Belanda’ era, and don’t know how she died … but she’s until now become a ghost there…
Shi Shi dislikes bad peoples, the old man told us ... once a model ( that in the end revealed as a cell phone thief ) being possessed when she got her photo session there…
Shinji said “Be careful then, your face as Kamael looks really evil, Orochi”… And I also told Monppii “If you’re getting possessed please be careful with your sword, it can smack someone into collapse” …
Orochi freaked out and asked us not to dare spelled her name before Kamael’s photo session is over haha…
Well, lucky for you, just maybe Miss Shi Shi likes you so she’s not even disturbing us … Or maybe she thinks that Monppii is an alien with that shiny armor lolz…
Anyway, I already checked the photos and I don’t see her appearing in any of our photos… Have no idea what she thinks about cosplay, I believe she is watching us during the photo session … ...
♥♥♥♥♥
For the end of this Kamael’s entry, I share one memorable photo from us, this is the first step of Kamael making, sketching the detail, I do this at Orochi’s old room, somehow brings me various memories … bitter … and sweet …
♥♥♥♥♥
And… Hang Out with BJD Gank~
My son is happy to meet his little sister in law, Fei …
Fei is super cuteeee~ Very Loveable~
Thanks to Shinka for the 'surgery', finally my son can really stands up~
( Well… at least for 2 weeks only … still got more Lineage costumes to be done… phew~ … )
Time to pampering myself with delicious foods and entertaining stuff~
Orochi said to me it feels like we’ve just out from jail or something, every foods we ate tasted very delicious ( yeah… after being an instant noodle lover for 5 months… ) …
♥♥♥♥♥
~ Sushi Tei ~
Our favorite restaurant ever~
I bought Mizuchi with us also, I think that he is also feels stressful seeing us everyday struggle with our armors… Time for him to have a bit walked around … ~
Monppii~
Our Fave Sushi~
Jelly Fish is very yummy~ Slurp~
Me picking menu for dessert~
As for dessert, Taiyaki Ice Cream is our favorite ever~
Hope you are happy also, son… Err… though you can’t eat together with us… ...
♥♥♥♥♥
~ Relaxing Sea Side ~
Another favorite place of us, if you want to have a peaceful lunch with delicious sea food …
I really recommended this restaurant for you to visit~
Their fishes are fresh from the ocean, you can choose you own fish or prawn or clams or maybe lobster etc here…
So many, so yummy~
Big lobster with pretty color...
Shark~
Shinji said, oh… 3 sharks, enough for Shinji, Oro and Pinky ~
Erh, but I dun think eating shark is a good idea for now…
These are ours~
Shinji … you chose a big one, even 3 of us can’t finished it… ...
At Sea Side~
You can fall asleep here~ It’s so peaceful and comfort … ...
Later … Our Foods Coming~
Shinji looks happy~
We also visited 4D Cinemas not so far away from there and Sea World ~
It’s been a very long time since my last visit there, if I’m not mistaken… the last time I visited Sea World when I was 12 …
And I always feel like … whenever I came there, seeing those sea creatures somehow can help to relaxing my mind …
This one is Shinji’s favorite lolz~
Ursula’s pet~
Crocodiles~
Check out that white one~
Majority of Indonesian people still thinks that White Crocodile is a holy creature, but from what I’ve been read there, actually white crocodile is only an ‘albino’ crocodile…
Go for Fish Therapy~
Orochi said that those fish bites didn’t hurt at all~
Well, as for a masochist like you, maybe you should try these …
It’s Piranha … sure going to be very hurt to bites lalalala ~
Touch Pool~ Many sea creatures to touch~
Shark Aquarium~
Shinji shocked me for told me that Shinji want go for a dive with the sharks, replacing that one inside the cage.
FYI, Sea World got new features now, you can go diving there … even with the sharks…
Somehow Shinji’s choice scared me
How if those sharks breaks the cage with Shinji inside… I even can’t imagine what happen next… ~
Next one… It’s like a museum~ Interesting stuff … creatures from the deep of the sea~
Check out this gigantic one~
Also these~
Out from it all, my favorites are these… ...
I really like this transparent tiny one, looks so pretty when it’s swim around, I wish I can have it someday as my pet… Can I?
Jelly Fish isn't only delicious to be eaten but they also pretty to be seen...
This one ... A Beautiful Sea Dragon … my fave also~
♥♥♥♥♥
I still want more hang out with friends for this weekend…
Before us continuing to make another costume and we can’t go anywhere until our costumes done… ~
I really love the new features of this cam, hope someday I can buy this one to replace my old Olympus cam… Huu… so expensive for me, if I’m not mistaken it cost about IDR 8.000.000~
Our theme was “Alichino” ( again … )
Well, actually I’m already bored with Alichino, this is the first time in my cosplay career to wear same costume five times…
I dunno why people really like requesting Alichino, I look like ghost on Myoubi costume … Hope this is the last to wear my Myoubi ~
Okay then…
First… Workshop and Photo Session with Mr. Harry Subastian

This is the second times we work with him~
