A couple of weekends ago, Seruku, Darbara, Toby and I ventured out to check out the 2nd annual Japanese Summer Festival held at Docklands~ I was most looking forward to eating all the yummy Japanese food which I had so sorely missed since my last trip to Japan :9
Unfortunately I’m still missing it because the food here was nothing like the street food in Japan 🙁 Oh well, it was still nostalgic to be able to speak some Japanese when ordering, just like we did constantly back in Japan!
Being a cosplayer I decided to make my own kimono to wear, and being a nerd meant I had to somehow make it… well nerdy! 😛 So I got the idea to draw a bunch of StarCraft 2 symbols over it, which I thought was very amusing since only SC2 gamers would know what the symbols meant. To everyone else I was just weird~
Unfortunately in true cosplay style, I started sewing on the Wednesday night before the festival and since I work during the day I only had evenings to sew it so by Saturday I didn’t manage to include the major of details and decorations I had originally planned 🙁 Oh well, maybe if I find more time I might add more details and do a real shoot with it one day!
Overall the festival was insanely crowded and far too small 🙁
I did manage to run into Stacey, Annie and a bunch of other cosplayers which was fun 😀 The gang and I ended the night with dinner at Mecca Bar :9 Delicious~
Bwahahahaha kimono win!! James and I almost went to this too but changed our minds last minute because of the weather XD Next year we”ll have to go together 😀
Yes! We totally should, and we should coordinate our kimonos too~ You pink, me blue or something! =D
So sad that I didn’t see this IRL 🙁
Maybe I should analyse that first photo to see whether you can spot me in it or not hahaha !
But yeah, Your kimono is awesomeeee <3
Hehe it was so mega crowded that day, I reckon the photo is a really good representation~ Aww thank you, you looked adorable!! We will hopefully see each other one day, I may end up making it to Supanova~ Just not sure what to cosplay @__@
