DSC03742-re


Hello everyone !

Do you know that there's a cat cafe in Kuala Lumpur ?

Cat Cafes are really popular in Taiwan , Japan and Korea ~ I like cats a lot and my house is a cat farm itself ( I have 6 cats ) but I do enjoy meeting other cats as well ! Always wanted to visit cat cafes but the nearest one to me is in Singapore.... 

So I was super excited when Angie told me that there's a cat cafe in KL @ SS15 !! 
Hermes , Angie and I finally have time to visit the cat cafe together last Friday ❤

The cat cafe is called Coffee Cottage @ SS15.

It's really easy to find this cafe because it's just behind the famous Burgertory and beside Expresso Lab !

Welcome to Coffee Cottage !

The interior is very warm and cosy.
Perfect place to hang out with your friends !

The cats are in another separate room , so even if you don't like cats , you can come for a cup of tea and have a piece of yummy cake !

Coffee Cottage serves mainly coffee , tea and desserts ~ It feels something like Starbucks but comes with lots of lovely cats ! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ

The cafe is nicely furnished with lots of cat painting. (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*

Here are the rules for the cat cafe !

I'm used to being surrounding by my cats at home , so when I visited here , I'm kinda sad that the cats are running away from me lol. Some really enjoy being touched but some just wanna take cat naps ~ so please treat them with love ! 

Be realllllllly gentle with the cats ok ?  ( ノ^ω^)ノ゚

Sanitize your hands before you go inside the cat room , wouldn't wanna bring in bacteria to the fluffy kitties ! (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*

My no.1 fav cat in the cat cafe ! Look at him , so playful lol !!

Let me tell you a funny story , at first when I saw his back ( not his face ) I thought that he's a normal orange tabby. Little did I know that actually he is a .... Persian Cat . LOL . I never seen one in real life before , only in books and internet so I was kinda ... excited !

My gorgeous hime-sama , Hermes and I !

( Angie haven't arrived lol )


DSC03628


We ordered some cakes and drinks , you need to order at least a drink to be inside the cat room ! I had caramel cheesecake , it was yummy but I would recommend their tea more than the ice mocha I had. Hermes ordered the tea and it smelled like ... heaven lol. (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

Hermes says that this is the most beautiful cat in the whole cafe.

Yes , I agree that the fur is very long/ silky but he is kinda ... unfriendly lol !!


DSC03655


He looks like , " What you want ah , can you pls go away human ?? "

Cosplay Tutorial | How To Make Ribbons Bows

Hello Everyone !

Do you miss me ? * hides *

I'm back with another simple costume making tutorial ~ It's one of the common elements in cosplay costumes , and you can see it all the time in any anime / manga / games ! It's something that I enjoy making a lot , it's Ribbons or also known as Bows ! (。´∀`)ノ


Untitled


Making ribbons is really simple and you can make one in like 15 minutes ? Here's what you need , the measurement varies - depending on how big the bow you want it to be :

Piece A ( 2 x pieces ) = 10 x 12 Inches
Piece B ( 2 x pieces ) = 8 x 20 Inches
Piece C ( 1 x piece ) = 2 x 5 Inches

(*´▽`*)


IMG_7429


Here's how it looks like when you sewn the two pieces together ! It's a simple stitch , just sew along the line and turn it inside out. I love playing with the materials to make my bows look more interesting , I layered my usual matte satin with a thin sequinned fabric to make it for sparkly because it's a Love Live costume ! (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*


IMG_7435


So now , put Piece A over Piece B , around in the midpoint of both pieces.


IMG_7436


Place Piece C on top of Piece A !


IMG_7437


Hold Piece C so that it can form a loop to hold Piece A + Piece B together !


IMG_7438


Hold it with a pin at the back ~  (≧∇≦)/


IMG_7441


.... and check the front of the bow. Sometimes it might be too tight or too loose , you can make some adjustments before stitching it up ! 


IMG_7442
IMG_7443


Here , you can see that I'm using a blanket stitch ! For tiny places like this , it's better that you hand sew for neater finishing ! 


IMG_7453


Ta-da ~~~~~~~~ It's done !! (❁´‿`❁)*✲゚*


IMG_7606

As you can see here , the bow stands out much more because of the layering of fabric that I choose ~ you can play with different types of fabric to create a different look / feel !

My Love Live Nozomi cosplay !

See how sparkly the bow is ?  d(=^・ω・^=)b

Hope that you enjoy this quick bow-making tutorial ! 


With Love ,

Weekend in Singapore !


IMG_8639

Hello everyone !

Yup , you guessed it right ! I was in Singapore last weekend and it was a blast !

Been awhile since I travelled by bus to Singapore. It's a 5 hour journey via bus ( I know it seems so longgggggg ) but it was a pleasant journey for me ~ I slept all the way to Singapore plus they provided blanket and a meal ! 

p/s : I brought my own pillow too. 


IMG_8641\


Hello Sunny Singapore !

What I love about Singapore is how convenient it is to get everywhere. You guys have awesome train and bus systems lolololol !


IMG_8646


I'm very lucky to be in the good hands of Lenneth !

If you are wondering who is Lenneth , I'll introduce you to her later ~ ( lots of cosplay pictures below hehe )

She brought me around Chinatown because I wanted to visit the places where Singaporean cosplayers get their fabrics / sewing supplies and etc. It was really an eye-opener because there are many things that I couldn't find back here in KL ! I wouldn't say it's cheap but it's really convenient if you needed any last minute shopping for cosplay materials !

Enjoyed myself very much here ! ☆*・゜゚・*\(^O^)/*・゜゚・*☆


IMG_8647


Also had a fun night out , bonding with my team mates , photographer and helpers before our Kyoukai no Kanata photoshoot the following day ! ヽ(=^・ω・^=)丿


IMG_8652


Lenneth is a big fan of Rilakkuma , a even bigger fan than me !

Look at how gigantic her Rilakkuma is ! O(≧▽≦)O


IMG_8656


Woke up early in the morning for a selca with the giant Rilakkuma ! 

( must contain my excitement because I'm Mitsuki Nase today lolololol )


ヾ(。◕ฺ∀◕ฺ)ノ

IMG_8664


Meet CVY , who is my sweeeeet Mirai for today !

I'm usually very good in masking my excitement. I'm a big fan of her cosplay works and she have really awesome costuming skills. ( silently fangirls )

(ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧


IMG_8661


It's like Christmas came early to me this year , because I'm suddenly blessed with a group cosplay ! I rarely do group cosplays because my height is difficult to match ;-; but here I am taking the girl role this time and my Akkey + Hiroomi is taller than me !!!

Plus , it's a combination of Lenneth + CVY + Kanasaii san.  I'm so amazed because it's my first time watching them in action after following their works for years. They are so in character and I was so inspired ! They are awesome !

* MIND BLOWING *

~(๑ñ﹏ ⊙☆)ノ


IMG_8662


Best of all , my team mates - I can really feel that they are super into this series as much as I do. Our Hiroomi which is constantly looking for opportunity to armpit-fy Akkey. It was hilarious !!

Thank you for having this oversized Mitsuki ! (❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*


IMG_8674


This is Lenneth , who came back from US ! She's a very talented cosplayer and makes her own cosplay costumes too. Her crossplays always make me drool and her girl cosplays are stunningly gorgeous too !

A wonderful host during my time here in Singapore and also my lovely onii-chan , Hiroomi ! If I was Mitsuki in an alternate universe , I think I would love my brother Hiroomi just as much as he loves me lololol.

I never thought bowl cuts can be this hot ! 

ヾ(。◕ฺ∀◕ฺ)ノ


IMG_8679


Super out of character photos here but I think I did pulled off some judging and disgusted faces during the photoshoot lol.

 ( ohhhhh Onii-chan and I shares the same scarf !!! /becomes creepy )


IMG_8671


Kanasaii-san and CVY looks so lovely as Akkey x Mirai here. Can you feel the romantic vibe ?

All the polaroids by Blurmage !

Thank you so much ! \(^▽^)/

p/s : Notice Hiroomi and Akkey's expression in the group pix ? LOL 

Thank you so much for all the helpers , XiaoBai , Ash , Leo and Jasmione for your time and all the help throughout the photoshoot !  ♡。゚.(*♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡*)゚♡ °・


IMG_8675


Another thing I loveeee about Singapore is .. THE MOS BURGER !

( because we don't have it in Malaysia , don't judge meeeeee  /SHY )

During my trip here , I had Mos Burger twice and tried out their new burger. It was .. heavenly.

(❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*


IMG_8687


Loving this the most !! Because I like beef and eggs !

Do you know that I absolutely adore their milk tea too ? I love putting in lots of milk !!



IMG_8695


Met my long time home town friend , Shevonne too ! She is so supportive of me that I'm feeling so touched ~ Glad to be able to catch up even though it's just a few hours.

Thank you Sweetie !!  (´ε` )♡

Bumped into Tsukasa and Judy , cosplayers from Taiwan in Kinokuniya @ Takashimaya. Was just watching their Live stream for WOW Japan few days back and am so lucky to be able to meet them in person again !

( I secretly wished that I could have put on some make-up or even combed my hair and I look ... unglam here lololol )

They are so friendly in person , extremely lovable ! ♡ლζ(♛ε♛*ζლ♡


IMG_8702

Cosplayers Reunite !

Frank who is a representative for WCS Singapore and won 2nd for World Cosplay Summit 2012 ~ thank you so much for coming over for short meet up and ride to the bus station !

Also Gerry ;-; , I WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN LIKE SOON.

(。´∀`)ノ


IMG_8715

Look what I got from my Singapore trip !

A bias tape maker and white furry thingie for my cosplay ! I was super excited with these purchases. Something that I couldn't find here. 

Sometimes I feel like an auntie , people usually get excited over shopping in Singapore but all I wanna see is sewing related things and alpacas lol

Anyways , that's my Singapore trip ! Can't wait to see the final outcome of the photos !
