Happy New Year

Happy New Year! We targeted 100 cosplayers/photogs/ACG members for the ball and guess what? 120 turned up! Woot! Thanks for joining us to end the year 2011 the cosplay style! Really hope you guys have enjoyed yourself.  

Just wanted to share a short thought here. I was really happy to see the happy faces during gift exchange. I've said this last year and I'll say it again this year: 

1. If you brought a good gift and received a good gift in return, God bless you!

2. If you brought a good gift and received a not so good gift, just know that the person who received your gift is greatly blessed by it.

3. If you brought a not so good gift and received a good gift, I'm sure you know by now how good does it feel to receive good gifts so in future, do take the effort to bless the others by doing likewise. 

4. Well if you brought a not so good gift and received a not so good gift...I'll leave this to you xp

5. For those who tak bawak langsung, now you know it feels good to receive something on christmas so next time, pandai-pandailah xp.

Hisashi and Fazri, up at 3pm to test the sound system for the night~

Glow in the dark concert! 

I regret that we didn't have enough time for Titans 6. Hopefully this year we can start on time so all the activities and games will not be missed out :)

Should there be any feedback (positive or negative), do mail them to cosplayball2011@gmail.com. Once again, this is not a sponsored event but one which succeeded because of each and everyone of your contribution. Lastly but not least, the ball would not have happened without the awesome committee members and helpers that were by my side throughout the event planning and execution. Do give them a pat on the shoulder :)

Cosplay Forum

Cosplay in Malaysia has been growing alright. From the annual CF to almost every month having a cosplay event. We even have cosplay shops in Malaysia now XD so where are we heading? Some cosplay for fun, some to release stress while some, taking cosplay to the next level - competitions.

Besides the local event competition (solo/duet/group), there is also international level to tackle such as ACM, AFA and WCS (World Cosplay Summit). 

What are the criteria to take our cosplay to the next level? 

What are the winning points that judges are looking for? 

In order to find out more, we have invited a few special guests to share their point of view in Malaysia cosplay.

One of the pioneer in cosplay since 2004, Ayase has cosplayed many characters and judged plenty or local competitions over the years. Let's hear a word or two from her regarding general judging criteria.

Will Wee, a passionate cosplayer who is active in local events and cosplay competitions. Having the experience of judging several competitions such as Anicom and Hari Belia cosplay competition, he will share his thought on cosplay competition judging criteria as well.

     

The enviable cosplay duo who made Malaysia proud by bringing their cosplay to the next level - World Cosplay Sumit. Let us hear Sky and Yuan sharing their cosplay experience. 

Kuro Dai, a renown crossplayer among us. Also, one of the pioneer cosplayer in our community who is passionate about the positive growth of cosplay. He will be sharing tips on the do's and don'ts for crossplay. 

Let's work together for the positive growth in Malaysia Cosplay :) feel free to ask them questions too.

Who's Rocking The Show!?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, (cliche sia...), proudly presenting to you our Master of Ceremony (MC) for the Cosplay Ball 2011:

Hisashi Glay and Kinamoto Yukito

For those who have been to GACC, C2AGE and Animangaki, Hisashi's lively action and humor on stage is no longer foreign to all of us. Experienced in chairing various events and Radio EMiNA, catch him again this cosplay ball and let's rock the night together!

A passionate cosplayer, brother, boyfriend, employer and son, let's welcome him on stage again this Cosplay Ball! Able to speak over 450 languages, he humbly choose to speak in English and Mandarin for the night. 

We are also proud to have Fazri in da house!! He will be bringing us into the anime realm with musics exclusive from Radio EMiNA. How does he looks like? Come for the night and find out for yourself ;)

Face/Hand/Body Painting

Here are some of the samples, basically floral and motive-based designs. You can pick a spot and I'll do the painting in. The arm designs shown will be smaller when painted though. It takes 2 - 3 minutes to dry. Will spray a coat of protection for the night. Careful not to be in contact with water. Can be washed away with a little scrubbing or make-up removal (oil based).

 

Strictly not for people with sensitive skin. Available from 5pm to 6pm.

Early Birds Get The Worm
