My team, Caderas Latinas Singapore, performed 2 times. Kudos to the local...

My first ever Cosplay=)
CosFest yesterday was super fun though i failed terribly as Shana! I think if i was to do this again, i would :
1. Think of a few character poses beforehand so that i dont stand there looking like an idiot when people come up and ask to take my picture. A few fighting pose and kawaii pose would be good!
2. Wear super thick fake eyelashes to give the illusion of bigger eyes! With my...

3 Gadgets I Cant Live Without
A post to show my geeky side! Was inspired to write this in light of the launch of the new iphone 3GS! Anyway, here it goes in order of importance:

Wigs of Horror
In order to promote Shakugan No Shana which is premiering on 1st July, the marketing team came up with the idea of a Shana-look-alike contest. This involved photographing 12 FHM girls ( from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines) in the Shana costume. Naturally, the photoshoot had to be done in 4 different places since the girls were based in different countries.
The photo shoot for...

Its the people that matters..

Maybe i am exaggerating it but cases of interns being made to sort out thousands of database, stock take and do mundane research are not uncommon. Thus prior to my internship i mentally prepared myself for the worst. Thankfully, people around me were far from the...
