So alarm started ringing at 7:30 and if it wasn’t for the fact that we needed to go set up booth, I think we would be more than glad to sleep in. One day of trolling was over and another was to come but our mp was already low with voice starting to sound all manly. Poor masta lost her voice T^T (but she wasn’t trolling with our booth so I’m not sure how she lost it ><) In the end we left the room about 8:45 ish and arrived around 9+ at KLCC. Only me William and Bernard left first. Upon arrival we realized that the security from KLCC really were super enthu even at 9 they already started not letting ppl in to the place.. ==

Since we gave the other pass to TJ only myself and Bernard had our passes whereas William had to wait outside. After putting everything down i gave my pass to Bernard to go collect William. Honestly, I really don’t see why they can’t just let us bring our friends in to help set up shop (is only one person) in the end we still brought him in by transferring passes. So we set up booth was relatively much faster this time since everything was already done we just needed to put up all our boards. Even though we weren’t doing madoka cosplay anymore, we still brought QB along as our booth’s marketing manager, I also wrote the word manager behind my pass and since we kept the extra key (which turned out to not b extra) in my lanyard I was the “key manager”. Get it?! Trolololololol.

I realized that QB was pretty popular, quite a number of people actually asked us if he was for sale or if they could punch it etc. XD I was supposed to sell QB but I guess I got too attached XP And later on I will tell u why I absolutely do not regret not selling him/her/it.

So after setting up, this time smarter I used the toilet in the hall to get into my wig and makeup. After I was done I went back to the booth and the event halls just opened. I sat at our booth longer on the 2^nd day X3. Sales were still pretty good though I really think traffic and the crowd on day 2 was far less.

On day2 we decided to troll our customers and people walking by, since we all had those foldable fans from daiso we decided to provide “fan service” literally fanning our customers. It was really fun and I’m sure those who experience the fan service enjoyed it. (only a bootleg miku wouldn’t understand..oops) Most people didn’t get what we were doing they must have thought we got CF fever. But we started shouting “fan service, fan service, no anime will provide you with this sort of fan service” and ppl got it.

We also met one of our most loyal customer on day2 XD.

She was looking at our stuff and I think me and Bernard started to sing “dui mien de nu hai kan guo lai, kan guo lai, kan guo lai” XD and she got tempted.  Why do I call her our loyal customer? Because she almost bought our whole booth I think she came back 3~4 times? We kept on trolling her and exchanging that single RM5 bill, hahaha (I think in the end we kept tht RM5)

When YMCA was played in the hall we stared to sing TORN instead XD even with our lost voices our neighbor Fallencypt from Tornado Village said we sing better than GLEE.. WEEE~! Speaking of Fallencypt, while we were busy fan servicing our visitors he made a joke about how he has no fan so he can only blow i.e. blowjob. That was epic hahaha and totally unexpected, I guess sitting next to us throughout CF has infected him.

Later in the afternoon I joined masta and the others for some pictures before returning back to the hall at about 5.00 to adjust prices for clearance sale. Wasn’t too bad I managed to sell off all my madoka and Steins;gate chibi sets w/o giving any further offer and inori BM was Sold out on day 1, I only had one Shu left and Rin and Len sold out before 5pm on day 2 so I was only left with A5 prints and Bookmarks of Gai, Tsugumi and Miku (WHY WAS THERE NO LOVE FOR GAI AND TSUGUMI T_T, their my favourite characters)

Desperate to clear my A5 prints I priced them at RM2 each and bookmarks (Gai and Tsugumi as a set for RM1 each)

But the crowd was already pretty saturated so it didn’t exactly move any much faster =P.

But I guess I wasn’t really concerned cz anything sold was just extra money for me. I already managed to break even on day1 =3. THANK U EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Instead we just relaxed and trolled. We stole back our print from the CF board and got our neighbors, the girls and guy from salmon roe and also the towns people of Tornado Village to sign it. This was to be kept as a memoir =3.  And we started giving/exchanging gifts (leftover stuff). Tornado village was super awesome and gave us 4 boxes of their little cute cards so being Malaysian we had to return the favor so we gave him one pc of every item we had left =) We got a few things from Salmon Roe as well =3

Before we know it CF was reaching the end. We didn’t stay for the dance off since we were all pretty hungry already (the curse of opening a booth, skipping lunch). So we decided to pack up and head of on a quest to find a filling dinner.  Since I have my madoka/Charlotte wig on and the guys wanted to go to the shopping centre I had to hide in a corner and remove my wig =w=. Which in the end we ended up walking back to the convention centre to have dinner at Kenny Rogers again.. WTF?! I just hid in a corner for nothing da fuk! Thank god I could borrow TJ’s Miku hat so my dead hair was protected from the outside world. On a side note we saw Mahatir walking out of Uniqlo with his wife =3 (I waved to him~! I not sure if he spotted me but I guess it would b a good thing if he didn’t since I was wearing a miku on my head ==||)

Anyways the most epic thing happened when we walked into Kenny Rogers. There was this little girl (European) who was running around , she was kinda blocking our way so I squat down to kinda like play with her (I WAS NOT BEING A LOLICON I SWEAR!) QB was in my hand, initially she was a little afraid but she started to take a liking to QB (WTF DID U DO TO HER QB?!) I let her play with QB while we made our orders. Wasn’t too worried about the kid not wanting to return QB since I’m pretty good with kids. Anyways she came back and returned QB to me but she gave me puppy dog eyes and since we were staying a little longer I decided to let her play with him a little longer after all QB worked hard the past 2 days =3 But I sure didn’t expect what happened next, while chatting with the guys I heard a little scream but shrugged it off thinking maybe is her mum asking he r to give QB back and she didn’t want to etc. But she came running towards our table and what we saw shocked our eyes @___@

The little girl was NAKED! Ok not fully exposed but she was only wearing her pampers @_@

QB SERIOUSLY WTF DID U DO!! WTF DID I LET QB DO!

We were all shocked speechless dumbfounded mindfucked!? There was only one explanation QB mahou shoujo-fied her and this was transformation in process @_@

The girl went back to her mum and later on returned with QB in a new outfit and returned QB to me. I was a little worried when QB mahout shoujo-fied my musume but now he’s doing it to other ppl’s musume @_@ QB is unstoppable. We carried on with dinner and headed back to the hotel.

No matter how awesome CF was nothing could compare to the magic I saw at dinner. Next time I visit my nieces and nephews I’m keeping QB far away from thm.

So we went back to the hotel and after taking a shower we count our spoils from the weekend =3

Good news is we all didn’t lose any money on printing weeee!

Bernard and myself made profits =) thank you sooo much everyone~

And when we were done counting there was only one thing left which I really wanted to try… and tht one thing is, slapping myself with the stack of money~ Just like Yui. I can totally relate to her seeing me do that William and Bernard also tried it and we went over to the room to troll masta and her sisters and friends =)

I can’t believe they couldn’t tell which anime it was from T___T poor Yui…

So after more random trolling we went to bed earlier this time since the biggest troll had already crashed and died =P

So that was the end of day 2 of CF. Oh I forgot to mention thank you to Bernard who bought me kekki~!

Arigatou~ !

Highlights of day2?

• Definitely the dinner where QB showed his true form and so did the pint size mahout shoujo ^^;
• Slapping self with money, tht urge has been within me since I watch Yui enjoy it.
• Fan servicing our fans and looking at tornado village trying to give his fans a browjob
• Meeting our epic No. 1 customer =)
• Selling out a number of my stuff and finally closing the booth (ITS OBERRRR 9000!!)
• And I guess it was kinda cool a bit ok I guess special tht I got to see Mahatir while sporting a Miku headgear.

Seikai ha Hitotsu! Janai started playing at 6:30 meaning time to get up. With barely enough sleep due to excessive trolling from night before I woke up and set the alarm on snooze XP

5 minutes later it played again so I just got up mainly due to the fact tht the room was freezing cold I walked out to the living hall and it was worst == so I dashed to the controller and switched off the a/c and fan.  And thus began the long wait for the toilet. =)

By the time preparations were done it was already after 8:30. So much for the plan to arrive there at 8:30. As expected I still failed at packing light I lugged along 3 bags with me to the event. Not to mention the box which I kept my shoes in TT^TT. Thank you to William for carrying musume bag for me and Bernard for carrying the box of shoes. I really don’t know what I would do without u nice ppl ^^. The crazy part is that all our prints etc were still put into William’s bag T^T… (Y DO I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF TO BRING)

We arrived at the venue at around 9a.m so we split up into 2 groups, masta, here sis and friends went to collect the pre-order tickets and our free tickets whereas me and the guys went to the “shorter” line outside for booth owners and “guests”. This year I got a “guest” pass, I’m not sure how the system works because I saw others with “affiliate blogger” passes but I guess the main point was I could enter freely w/o any fuss.  I wonder if there is some form of ranking for us bloggers XD (since my 1^st year I got a blogger pass, 2^nd year I got a media pass and now I get a guest pass).

I didn’t have to wait to get my pass so I stood aside to wait for Bernard to collect the booth passes and went in together. Our booth was located at one end (C1-17, next to Salmon Roe and Tornado Village). Upon arrival the members from Salmon Roe was already there. We put everything on the floor and started setting up our display boards. I really should have prepared more the night before (since we ended up sleeping damn late/early anyways). It took me a while to set up my chibis on the board.

I took musume out of her carrier and displayed her on one side of the booth whereas QB was placed at the other side so yeah we could attract customers from both sides.   TJ & TK arrived around 9:30 or 10 (I wasn’t keeping track of time) and we decided on our final price and promotion lists. We finished setting just before the event halls were opened to the public. I excused myself to change into costume. The toilet was super packed and that time I didn’t know there was a toilet behind the stage (I remembered KLCC having toilets in hall but I didn’t bother to look since I assumed it was only for special ppl (though having said tht I was wearing a guest tag so I guess even if it was for special ppl guests are special aren’t they? My tag had a star on it =>)

By the time I managed to escape from the toilet I think it was already 11. So I headed back to our booth and sales looked good (atleast we sold some stuff!! Woot!) The hall was already pretty packed and the guys seemed to be staying true to our random group name trolling our customers whilst promoting our items ^^; I stayed at our booth till about 1+? (sorry I really didn’t keep track of time) and poor masta and the others were stuck outside.

Although KLCC has lovely spacious halls with an accessible location, the management of the convention centre aren’t really the most nicest people. I’m not sure when they started (since it looked ok when I came back from the toilet) but they started having human road blocks. They didn’t allow normal attendees into the convention centre’s hallways so basically everyone was locked outside (O_O!). I didn’t believe it until my fren asked me to go fetch them in with our tags. It was pretty scary to see this whole rally of cosplayers and attendees outside the glass walls. I found masta and found out tht they literally were fighting with the management/security. Thank god we had our booth tags and my guest tag so we could cut through the crowd and bring our friend’s in. Though since one one pass entitled a single person’s entry we went back and forth XD.

For those poor attendees who had to wait in line and under the hot sun, I would like to clarify that this was not the intention of the CF committee.  I’m sure they too were surprised by the actions of the KLCC management stepping in and barricading the entrance… So please do not fault them I’m sure if it was up to them they wouldn’t want fans to go through all that trouble >.<

So after I got them in, we went back to the booth and sales were looking good (our fear of failing badly at out virgin attempt was slightly swept away). We took a few pictures and since my feet were aching I decided to go change into my 2^nd costume for the day (Charlotte-chan~<3) even though the costume was totally rushed I really like it I might touch it up a little and most probably will re-cos it in the future~

After changing I went back to the booth to troll around with the guys. If I recall during this time my steins;gate chibis were running low. OMG!! ASKHFDDFVJK!! I totally wasn’t expecting this since I always thought there weren’t many SG fans in M’sia. I was a happy kewlo~! (SG was selling faster than my madoka set =3)

My A4 madoka prints was already Sold Out (but I only printed 6 of them since I was afraid no one would buy) and the inori and shu bookmarks were racing against each other XD

Though A5 prints weren’t doing so well (I blamed my wrong combo pricing strategy for this)

Not long after that esther came to look for me, apparently they found studio omoshiroi and we were going to go for a shoot. WOW! I didn’t even put on my twintails yet.. ahhhh.. I grabbed my bag of stuff and rushed to meet the others. It was such an honor and sooo much spasm… I was soo in awe that I 4got to pass nemu card T_T.

Here is the Studio omoshiroi’s vid from CF day 1, can u spot our lovely mahou shounens?

So after we were done I think we went back into the hall, another round of slowly bringing ppl in.

We posed for some pictures near the hall entrance and then I went back to check on the booth. If I recall other things got sold out and I meet fellow deviantArtists. Woooo~! Thank you for dropping by m(_ _)m

The guys kept on asking our visitors to try bargaining with me for a deal XP. I did give a few out I think. 

After that I joined masta outside for a short shoot since our QB and Kyoko had to leave soon and after that dinner at Kenny Rogers XP.  I was so emo because when I checked my phone at 4:30 I say a message from the boss telling us that we could interview Mikuni and Ceui. WATDA… But I figured it was already too late T^T

The others were to tired from the day so they decided to leave after dinner, and I went back to the hall to join the dudes (I really salute you guys, you didn’t have lunch T_T) so we trolled even more and sales for Day1 was going really nicely especially for Bernard who have quite a number of stuffs sold out. I think we were the noisiest booth at the artist booth area, super enthu virgins hahaha XD

Really many thanks to our neighbours Salmon Roe and Tornado Village who took in all our trolling in a positive likes (well atleast not in a negative way). You guys really are the best we couldn’t be as noisy as we were if it weren’t for your high tolerance levels.

 So we closed shop at about 7pm?

And I camped outside the hall with all our stuff while Bernard and William went to get dinner. (TJ and TK went back home) We waited till 8pm before we were allowed to enter the hall for Makoto Shinkai’s movie screening. WOOOOOOT!!! MAKOTO SHINKAI!

The movie was awesome, though I still personally liked 5cm per second better. We saw a more action and guro side of Makoto Shinkai. Seriously, the arm slashing, the nomming of cat-like creatures. (When tht thing picked up the cat I was thinking in my head “nom” just for lols but when it really happened I was stunned). In terms of the cliché Makoto moment they were all there, the theme of separation was quite nicely symbolized. I wouldn’t mind watching it again and yes it was worth the wait and sitting on the cold cement floor.

I was a little disappointed by how they gave out the autograph items though T_T. They tested on pretty normal things and because we had to look after our luggage they ignored those ppl at the back T^T (Y U NO SEE MY PINK HEAD!)

Bernard being the military otaku that he is, was totally “beh syiok” with the question on the helicopter where Alfred got it wrong =P.  I was hoping they wouldn’t ask stupid questions like what colour was this how many … was there etc. They should have asked more questions on the master behind the master piece itself T^T for true makoto shinkai fans who watched his other productions and read the novels etc T^T

So we walked home empty handed (well not really empty handed since we had our luggage to lug)

We got back and took our turns to use our single toilet and I started cutting my rin & len xmas chibi set (sorry for those who attended day1 >w< I didn’t mean for the chibis to be a one day special but I just didn’t have time the day b4. I took out my slurpee from the freezer where it became ice XD and played king Arthur for a while. In the end I still didn’t finish it and it went back into the freezer XP

After I was done with those (I cut 30 chibis!) I started to count the remainder stock so we could split the money from day one. In total our revenue for day 1 came up to 7**+ kinda cool~!. Was nice to know that I already broke even in day 1 and was already making a profit =3. Though my A5 prints were going extremely slow so I made the decision to make the promotion sets more attractive, selling my madoka set for RM10 (RM2/print compared to r.p. of RM3) and gave a buy 2 free 1 deal =)

I think in the end we still only went to bed around 4am @_@ but we decided to sleep in a little longer setting the alarm at 7:30am instead. Still we lacked sleep.

Highlights of day1?

• Given the chance to appear in studio omoshiroi’s video
• The MGS fangirl who requested for the Naked Snake print in A1 size (LIKE SERIOUSLY!!)
• The Miku that walked by our booth and William was like “Come Miku, buy urself” and she gave this WTF, I dunno how to describe but super epic face to him.  I was standing in front of the booth so I saw it clearly and I just can’t get it out of my mind. William says she look like a bootleg Miku (no offence intended, technically u offended my art by giving tht face so an eye for an eye).
• Meeting fellow dA ppl. I’m so sorry if I was blur or was stunned next year I will troll u dun worry!

Technically I arrived in KL around 11:30pm but by the time I got back it was already 12ish. I unpacked a little and started gluing together my madoka bow so it can dry in time for me to spray after I awake from a short slumber.

I went to bed about 1+ and woke at 6:30 ish? Slacked around for about 30-40 minutes than switched on my lappy to print out the hotel confirmation slip and a ref picture of my Charlotte gijinka cosplay.

Practically after that I spent the whole morning spray painting my madoka bow and when I ran out of paint I took out a brush and hand painted the bow with and extra layer.

While waiting for the paint to dry I took time to pack for CF. Stuffed in my costumes and a pair clothing for sleeping and my wigs and camera. In the end I still ended up having to bring 4 pieces of luggage + my madoka bow ==;; (I really need to learn the phrase “travel LIGHT”)

Left home around 12:40 to travel to the hotel at the heart of KL. We stayed at KL Plaza/Fahrenheit 88 (the hotel near Pavillion, above the 3 level Uniqlo). As expected of a Friday lunch crowd it took me nearly an hour to get there (was stuck at pavilion’s backside for about 30 mins?)

So I arrived at about +-2 p.m. Went to the counter hoping to be able to check in early but got rejected (they didn’t even have any space left for us to keep our luggage!)

So me and Bernard had to leave our luggage with masta and gang to walk to BTS to go print our prints and also met up with TJ and TK.

When we reached the printers everything went pretty smooth we learnt our lesson and pre-labeled the things we wanted to print with the number of prints needed. Also I have a feeling that the staff working there were already used to our faces and were a little intimidated by us.  When Bernard walked in I could swear I saw the young chap’s expression changed XP. (but I was already lacking sleep and infused with little particulates from spray painting the whole morning)

We left the printers to let them do their job and rushed back to the hotel to proceed with check-in.

So by the time we reached back our room was ready and so we dragged our luggage to our 2 bedroom apartment. TK and TJ became useful extra pair of hands. Was pretty surprised by the new rooms. It was pretty nice and the sofa grew! We got a 3 + 1 seater~!  Not to mention it was soft and actually nice to lie on (my previous stay only have a 2+1 and it was hard ==)

So we had a little snack (lekors which we bought on the way back from BTS) and found out that TK hasn’t had lekors before. (WAIT WHUT?!  0_o) But what is more surprising is this so-called “Malaysian” doesn’t like Durian and Laksa.

LIKE HbHFjkdSNdjF SXLsjhSLN #%#!!

How can u call urself a M’sian shame on u!

The snack wasn’t enough to fill our dying tummies so we headed downstairs to have lunch/dinner at Sushi Zanmai. (JAPANESE FOOD!) I have no idea how long we sat there for but I know Bernard, TJ, TK and myself were trolling the whole time even while waiting for our table.. (something to do with vegetable oil and tossing salads ==)

After that our “tour” group walked over to Sungei Wang to get tickets for CF and went to daiso where more trolling happened. When we were done we went back to BTS to collect our prints. Only Bernard and myself went to the printer while the others went to a stationary shop. I think if the whole rombongan went the printers will be even more scared of us than previously. Spent another RM60 or so on prints.

After meeting them back at the stationary shop we headed over to cold storage to get some breakfast and water. Met up with William who was going to be joining us for our 3 nights “camp”. Parted ways with TJ and TK and walked back to the hotel. Once at the hotel everyone started their last minute touch ups etc for the next day. Wigs were being cut and styled, props were being assembled, and prints were being chopped up for sale. It was a pretty busy night. I think I worked on cutting my prints till about 10/11? and then went out for dinner/supper with William and Bernard, lou sang-ed the hokkien mee to bring in profits for our booth.

We each got ourself a sulrpee on our way back to the hotel.  We got back and it was back to work on my side I needed to cut and style my madoka/charlotte wig ><. So worked till about 2am? (I dunno I wasn’t keeping track of time) I barely touched my slurpee so it went into the freezer XP.

Was supposed to go to bed after finished styling the wig but thanks to William and Bernard no slept was gained until 4:00+am (or even later) WTF!
