Took a little break~

I had a little time from a previously full on schedule to do a little kigging and make rapid progress with some mask orders. Took Asuka has been kept away for quite a long time, and finally allowed her out to have some fun, and a pleasant live chat. Did manage to see Taka-san, and a few other kig friends on live chats in the irc chatroom, ustream and stickam.

Having donated the bulk of my wardrobe away, anything costume related are no longer with me. What are available are the casual style ones. I am beginning to appreciate the economy and ease of obtaining casual attire compared to cosplay attires. It makes bringing out kigs less time and cash demanding and they look hell damn trendy no less. Asuka wore a stretch halter dress with a pink mini coat and latex leggings in during the live chat.

I figured that I didn't have time to take pictures of Asuka, and rather spend more time letting Asuka catch up with her friends after the long absence. Therefore a video recording of Asuka playing around infront of the camera during the live chat is recorded instead of taking pictures. The video is attached below in my youtube channel. I hope you can leave a nice feedback of your thoughts and give a good rating~^_^. Not sure why some parts of the video came out a little jerky but its mostly fine~








Its halloween soon isn't it? As bought up timely by Kenshin, he has started a thread to discuss and even share any picture perfect moments in the thread here:

Have no plans in mind for the day yet, but I hope to see if anything can be done up~^_^
And as for the masks, I am looking forward to presenting everything with the first of the new characters very soon. Most likely some day in the early of next week.

Keep in view~ ^^

Busy busy busy till September 30th

Just wish to put up and update, just to touch on matters of mask and suit orders and a little about this new anime called "Highschool of the dead" if you haven't come across it.

Customers who ordered just suits should have received their suits or are about to as they have all been sent out sometime 2 weeks ago (sheesh, see how bad I am with the update backlogs lol). As for mask customers, the good news is that the wigs have all arrived so there won't be any delay in terms of the hair attachment once the mask is finished. As for the masks, they are in the painting stage as of now. I've been working on them steadily, though there are a number of urgent matters which I need to attend to at the same time, such as selling of one of my businesses by the end of September.


If any of you who purchased a mask wishes for an update on matters, please feel free to send me an email or catch me on MSN(if you can manage to do that), though I seldom have time to do that now. There are threads created in the forum for all of the upcoming projects, please drop by the mask orders and customisation section and find out more about the mask characters. I myself can't wait to finish the masks, there are some really interesting characters coming up and I wish to do them well. Some of my all time fav chars too, like Sailor Pluto from Sailormoon and Mio-chan from K-ON!


Well, while waiting for updates (or waiting for anything at all that matters such as old age or christmas or both), there is this really cool anime airing right now. "Highshool of the dead" is its name. You probably can guess what it is about, sounds like Left 4 Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Resident Evil along those lines. Yeah is a zombie anime... come to think of it, its probably one of the few zombie animes I can think of (actually its the only one I can recall now entirely focusing on zombies).

SO WHY IS IT SO COOL? Thats because zombies are the cool dudes now. Check out how successful iphone/facebook/android apps such as Plant vs Zombies and Zombie Farm are doing. And heaps of knock offs are earning a fair bit with the zombie themed craze. Ever played Left 4 Dead on your PC/Console? Its one hell of a fun filled zombie busting game. Anyway, like I said, zombies are kinda making a trend in the entertainment scene lately. If you're unsure what "Highschool of the Dead: is about, I'll say is a little kinda like Left 4 Dead. Where a few survivors of a country/global zombie epidemic try to bust their way to safety and survive (plus bonus ecchi ^_^). So, what you waiting for, go check it out, its good.


I should be able to finish the masks shortly after end of September and have the shipped so that I can work on the new orders. I'll keep you updated. At the same time, thank you everyone for the fun you're bringing to the forums/site despite by disappearance due to busyness.... Imma bee. Hehe, take care and have fun, cya again soon~

New masks and suits mostly ready. First shipment going over weekend.

Hihi~ Once again I wish to make an announcement, my computer has just returned to a functional state if you saw my previous posts that it was broken. Will buyers, if you haven't contacted me to verify your order details, please do so as soon as you can. As far as I can recall, two buyers have not confirmed their final details with me, if it is you, please do so soon. Otherwise it could delay the production process. We are entering the Halloween season and makers of costume products are having huge order backlogs.

As stated in the title of the post, the first suits will be good to go in nearly no time. The suits have arrived today and I will need to make a few hours to dye them. After dye-ing, they should dry over the weekend and I will be able to ship them to you.

All the masks have been casted and some sanded and polished. The cold temperature these few months made fibreglass resin poor to work with and slow to cure. That stage has been over now, and things should progress more timely from now on. I am now easily reachable contact me at anytime to get follow ups. I hope everyone has a good weekend and take care~^_^

Back online with heaps of catching up to do.

Phew after a long duration of grueling torture, I have finally regain my freedom. That grueling torture which I'm speaking about are the days without a computer to use T_T. Haha... turned out that I realised that I can nearly do everything I need without a real computer thanks to the availability of iPhones and friends~^_^

Being free to move around again, I have hit a hard truth that I am super duper back logged in my duties and will have to get down to sorted them out asap. Having said that, I might be slow in my updates for a while (and since when is that new >_<)

There are a couple more mask orders which came in. Dear buyers, I truly thank you for your patience and support. I have casted all the masks and are still in the process of sanding and filling them. The wig orders are on their way and the suits should arrive in a matter of days. IF YOU ARE A BUYER, please drop me a message, either by MSN-Live or Email so that I can double check that I have not missed any details over the computer-less days. Also I will be able to give you personal updates if you request for it. Once again thank you.

The image above is of Mai Shiranui in her casual attire. The mask is no longer with me if you have been following the forums, the rightful owner has already received and have been using it. There are new images by the new owner in the forum gallery as well. The above signature picture is taken by me as a test for the mask when it was still with me... which is a long time ago. This only shows how backlogged I am lol~>_<

I have not have time to crop and prep the majority of the casual attire images to put them up but the other themed ones(waitress and cheongsam) can be found in earlier posts.

I have edited and published a new video of the Mai Shiranui mask attached below. Now that I've mentioned it, I wish to talk back on the topic of my computer again. I have sent the old high spec gaming laptop for repairs and will be back soon which I will sell it off afterwards, any interested parties?~^_^ That said, I have gotten a new laptop, brief specs are: Asus N61-JQ Intel-i7 ATI-HD5370-1GB 500GB-HDD 4GBDDR3 15.6" Blu-ray/DVD laptop. Its superb. It met all my stringent requirements for a new rig and also at a really affordable price~^_^ What most intrigued me is that the Quad Cores of the i7 in this latest model are actuall Quad Dual Logic Cores, which means I have a total of 8 Logical Cores. I'm overjoyed when I found that out by surprise. My friend's i7 only has 4 logical cores. Read more in the forums.

The new video is attached below. If you like it, I hope you can give it a full rating and do leave some comments. Thank you for visiting and I hope you will enjoy visiting the forums as well.~^_^
Have a great day~

Oops, laptop bricked :(

My ultra high spec gaming laptop has bricked T_T and worse bit is that the warranty finished in February this year T_T T_T... I'm expecting an expensive repair as high spec gaming laptops with high spec integrated nVidia GeForce 8600M graphics cards costs a nuke and an international space station.

Worse bit is that service centres have been known to put non warrantied laptops on a lower priority but not sure if thats the case. Which means i might need to wait longer than normal. The thing is, if the repairs quoted me more than $400, I will buy the Asus G2S (my lappy toppy) mainboard from Ebay and replace it myself for $240. I can even upgrade the notebook CPU to 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo for $85 more. But that of course will take about 2 weeks to arrive to me (usually 10 working days) which means... 2 weeks of using web and blogging on my iphone :(

Actually, whoever said mobile phones will take over computers in the future is spot on... they actually work pretty well, Just need to bear with a few microscopic issues.

Apart from that, I've been really really busy lately with my businesses. I haven't forgotten or neglected the kigurumi mask orders one bit, the accompanying HQ zentais are on their way~^_^ But I must warn that they will take a little longer than 2 weeks (i used to be able to finish and sell a mask in 2 weeks) more like 2+ months now. Well, still within market standards lol... and beaten it. Ok, nvm~ ^_^

The heading picture is a picture of Mai in her casual attire, something she might be wearing on a date with Terry Bogard~ Thats also the one of the pictures in the set which I wished to release if not for my lappy toppy turning into a paper weight. I'll put it up eventually, i really want to, Mai's so cute~>_<

In the meantime, do visit the forums and check for updates.
Its easier for me to reply there than make a new post cos I have limited heading images at the moment ^_^;
Will keep you updated~^_^
