Hong Kong Halloween Treats 2011 | Day 1


Hallo_HorThematic_Eng


Hi guys !


Haven't been able to update my blog much in Hong Kong because our schedule was quite hectic but we did get to visit so many interesting destinations and also tried out different kind of delicious Hong Kong cuisine ! * rubs tummy *

Anyways , this wasn't my first time in Hong Kong . I've been to Hong Kong with my family a couple of times and I just can't stop wanting to visit Hong Kong all over again ! Hong Kong is such a beautiful city with lots of yummy food , great affordable shopping ( girls just love it ) and lots of tourist attractions . There is always new things to discover ! Hong Kong is LOVE .

Much thanks to Animax Asia and Hong Kong Tourism Board for this great opportunity to experience Hong Kong , Halloween style ! * v *

Woke up really early around 4 a.m to catch my flight to Hong Kong via Malaysia Airlines . I couldn't get much sleep the night before because I was worried that I might forget something like parts of my costume or so . Had to like triple check my luggage before I left home ! =w=

Brought my baby Rilakkuma as well ~

It's my first time boarding the Boeing 777-200 ! Gosh , it was spacious and comfy . I was kinda relieved that blankets were provided because it was really cold . The in-flight entertainment was awesome too . Lots of new movies to watch ;)

Arrived Hong Kong around 1pm ! The travel agency , Holiday Travel , then picked me up from the airport and sent me to Kimberley Hotel @ Tsim Sha Tsui .

Checking in Kimberley Hotel ! Kimberley Hotel is situated in Tsim Sha Tsui which is right in the middle of shopping heaven ~ Mong Kok street is just nearby ! It's really convenient because there's a couple of shopping malls nearby and the MTR station is just minutes walk away . ;)

The fliming crew , Penny the Producer-san and his personal assistant , Manson , picked me up from the hotel and we were off to our first filming destination , Soho ! ( Sorry for not having much pictures of Soho because I was busy filming ;-; )

Soho is bustling with tourists and locals since it's a Sunday . Everyone were busy shopping ! There were so many shops and the shopaholic in me was screaming in excitement !! ~ You can find all sorts of trendy clothes , shoes , accessories , cute plushies , contact lenses , wigs and costumes here ! :D Shopping in Hong Kong is bliss and everything is so affordable. You guys won't be disappointed I promise ! ♥ ♥ ♥

Next stop , Ocean Park ! OMG ~ it's always my dream to visit Ocean Park !! I always see Ocean Park appearing in Hong Kong drama series but I didn't get to visit every time I visit Hong Kong ... but finally I did this time ! * unleashed the kid in me * Excited max !

Since it's Halloween Special ~ the whole theme park was decorated horror / Halloween inspired ! Valerie and I get to visit Haunted Houses too . I always love supernatural things so I'm pretty excited ~ Valerie was a bit scared though so we hold hands and went it together ! I enjoyed the " Macabre Studio " the most . The performers were pretty good and the props were awesome !

You guys shouldn't miss out on the cute souvenirs as well . There are so many plushies / keychains / caps / shirts to choose from ! It's so cute that you couldn't resist :p

Photoshoot : Evangelion 2.0

Hello guys !


It seems that my blog has fully been converted to a cosplay blog . Fear not ! I will be blogging bout something other than my cosplays soon . Probably you will hear me rant more in the future like " Arghhhhh assignments ." Just saying :-p


Anyways , yes it's the very same spot I had my Anarchy Stocking photoshoot earlier lol ! In fact , I had like maybe 5-6 photoshoots here this year . I lost count but it's a really beautiful spot and suitable for many cosplay shoots !


I first watched Evangelion 2.0 : You Can ( Not ) Advance last year when I got back to my hometown . Watched it with a group of friends and the story was really interesting . I never thought that it has so much gore in it . Totally my cup of tea . ( lots of nekid-ness too lol )


Been fortunate enough to be a part of Mbek's Evangelion group ! It was super fun working with Mbek and Chiaki again after the HOTD shoot we had a week earlier . It's my first time cosplaying with Kemuri and gosh she is super hot ! * v * My heart went * doki doki * HAHA Thanks to Chiaki for helping me get my socks 8)

Photoshoot : Sailor Stocking

Hello guys !




Initially this photoshoot was scheduled on this coming Sunday but since Raz say " Jom shoot " on Wednesday ~ so why not ? I wasn't very prepared as in no references , no sweets / cakes and no nail polish ! Raz was kind enough to buy me some Nips and Rocky from the vending machine as props ( but I ate everything a.s.a.p anyways lol )




Honestly after this photoshoot , I realized that I'm not much of a Stocking . ;-; I'll go back being Panty :-p But I'm really glad that I did the version of Stocking ( from Episode 3 ) because I really love this sailor / nautical like costumes of hers . Wearing this costume made me felt like a kindergarten student lol I had the same uniform during my pre-school years , seriously !




I had a hard time portraying Stocking ;-; Anyways , enjoy !

I actually enjoyed making this costume very much despite it's quite troublesome to make matching sailor hat for Honekoneko as well lol . This is also the first costume that I tried my best making it look neat in the inside too 8) Plus I love the blue trimmings and also the lace on the collar part . My Daiso lace is finally put to good use * v *




Alas , no more Stocking for me ! Wanna cosplay Romeo and Juliet verson on Panty and Brief ! Wheeeee can't wait ~ ♥
