COCOON FESTIVAL 2014

sudah berapa lamanya tidak update lagi di blog (lebay mode on ^^)
dikarenakan tugas dan pekerjaan lainnya, saya tidak sempat untuk mengupdate blog saya, ahahahaha.
Selain itu saya juga ketinggalan beberapa episode Black Butler:book of circus ( padahal sudah tamat yah, tapi belum sempat nonton sampai selesai -_- , begitu pula dengan tokyo ghoul -_-)

dan....Fiuh setelah beberapa minggu tidak sempat memegang my notebooooook tercintah, akhirnya mingggu ini bisa megang notebook juga, ahahah (langsung download balck butler, aldnoah, dan magic kaito kid)

oke...daripada beralama lama mending segera kita menuju topik utama yaitu......
  

                            "COCOON FESTIVAL 2014"

here we goooo

Event yang berlokasi di Jakarta Design Center ini merupakan wadah bagi para doujinka, mangaka, illustrator,artist, dan pecinta anime/manga/game untuk bertemu.
Di event ini juga terdapat seminar bersama profesional yang disebut "Cocoon Panel"

Event ini berlangsung hanya 1 hari yaitu, Sabtu, 25 Oktober 2014 ,mulai pukul 9 pagi hingga 5 sore.
Awalnya saya berencana untuk datang dari pukul 9, tetapi karena ada keperluan lain akhirnya saya baru dapat ke sana sekitar pukul 1 siang. Setelah menempuh perjalan yang lumayan jauh, akhirnya saya dapat sampai di Cocoon fest pada pukul 2 siang ( bereterima kasihlah karena halte busway tempat saya berhenti pas berada di depan JDC ^^)

Sayapun segera menuju lantai 6 tempat di mana event berlangsung dan...tadaaa, sudah banyak orang orang yang berada di event tersebut

                           rame sekaleeee.......



Begitu memasuki hall, saya disambut oleh deretan booth booth dari circle yang menjual berbagai doujin, fanart, dan karya original mereka. Tentu saja hal ini benar benar menarik perhatian saya, apalagi banyak booth yang menjual karya karya yang sangat baik ^^ , tetapi sayangnya hampir setiap booth menjual pernik dan doujin dari seri anime/manga yang sama, sehingga agak membuat saya jenuh -_- , mungkin lain kali harus lebih bervariasi lagi (sebenarnya saya ingin beli tetapi karena sudah pernah beli pernik dari seri yang sama saat AFA ID kemarin, rasanya jadi agak bosan, ahahhah)

       selain circle booth, terdapat juga sponsor booth seperti Re:on, Glassine, dan lainnya

^^ Walaupun tidak ada lomba cosplay, tetapi terdapat beberapa pengunjung dan pemilik booth yang berkostum sehingga semakin meramaikan acara COCOON ini.
Setelah puas berkeliling area booth, saya pun beranjak ke tempat diadakannya COCOON PANELS (walaupun sudah sangat telat ^^'). Tempat diadakannya COCOON PANELS berbeda dengan area circle. Saat saya datang, ternyata Panel keempat sudah menuju akhir -_- but.... setidaknya saya mendapatkan sedikit ilmu dari para pembicara di panel tersebut.

Setelah panel keempat berakhir, sayapun memutuskan untuk berkeliling sekali lagi di area circle sebelum pulang.


Berikut beberapa poin plus dan minus dari event ini

                                                                                         +
                                                           -. area event rapi dan bersih
                                                           -. Free entrance
                                                           -. Adanya Cocoon Panels yang memberi
                                                             banyak informasi bagi pemula
                                                           -. adanya tempat duduk di luar area (lumayan untuk istirahat)


                                                                                          -
                                                            -. Sistem pemesanan tempat duduk yang tidak efektif
                                                             (saya sudah pesan tempat untuk ikut panels,tapi malah tidak
                                                              dapat tempat duduk)
                                                            -.tempat circle dan panels kurang luas
                                                            -.tidak ada stand yang menjual makanan dan minuman

Baiklah, itulah yang bisa saya bagi mengenai event ini ^^, semoga ke depannya bisa menjadi lebih baik lagi dan...jangan lupa untuk datang jika diadakan lagi yah, seruuu looo ^^
 

About my self ..... part 1

Hoalaaaaa ^^ kali ini saya akan membuat postingan mengenai my self^^ (efek curcol, hahahaha)

Okay , first I will say that I'm not an otaku but.....saya adalah pecinta anime/manga sejak sd kelas 1 ^^ (karena hal ini banyak yang suka manggil saya kaka ato senpai , padahal saya bukan orang yang suka update soal anime/manga looo ) , btw why I say that i'm not an otaku??? karena..... saya memang suka anime/manga + game, but... saya tidak suka sampai fanatik sekali, sampai sampai hobi saya ini dibawa ke kehidupan sehari-hari, may be my FB name use Japanese name, but I'm still use Indonesia Languange ^^.
Saya bukan tipe orang yang menggunakan bahasa Jepang dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, selalu mencari Japanese food saat hangout, membeli berbagai anime goods (it can waste my money -_-), dan selalu update manga dan anime terbaru.

Saya juga seorang cosplayer, but........I'm actually like to cosplaying my favourite character than to follow the others to cosplaying famous character. Why??? karena menurut saya cosplay adalah hobby dimana kita bisa menyalurkan kecintaan kita pada suatu karakter, karena itu saat bercosplay saya selalu memilih karakter yang memang saya sukai, walaupun ada beberapa teman yang mengatakan kalau saya cocok untuk mengcosplaykan beberapa chara yang sedang mainstream atau sedang hits. But! saya tidak akan mengcosplaykan chara yang benar benar tidak dapat saya cosplaykan walaupun saya sangat menyukainya, misalkan....beberapa chara pria yang berotot, meskipun bisa membuat fake muscles tapi saya tidak akan mengcosplaykannya karena saya merasa saya tidak akan cocok dengan chara tersebut (berhubung fisik saya yang termasuk petite body).

TAPI.............disamping itu semua, saya bisa menjadi seorang fans yang sangat (hampir maniak) pada suatu seri anime/manga atau game tertentu, contohnya adalah ketika saya mengenal Flame of Recca. Flame of Recca dalah manga yang membuat saya menjadi penggemar anime/manga hingga sekarang. Saya sangat menyukai judul ini (walaupun animenya mengecewakan -_-) hingga saya mulai hunting manganya lagi saat SMP (karena manganya yang dulu dibeli koko cici saya dibuang sama mama >_< huhuhu)

                                    (hasil hunting di tukang buku bekas, ahahahaha ^^)

sama halnya ketika saya jatuh cinta terhadap seri Trinity Blood. Saya...sebenarnya sangat terlambat mengetahui yang namanya Trinity Blood, karena saya baru tahu seri itu pada tahun 2010, hahaha. Awalnya tertarik karena melihat cosplayer tribla di suatu majalah, akhirnya searching di mbah Google and.......sangat sangat tertarik, terutama sama chara Cain nightroad,Astharoshe Asran dan Hugue de Watteau. Dan......entah memang jodoh atau gimana (padahal udah rasanya nyerah nyari komiknya di mana , cause di tukan buku bekas juga gak da) wkkwkwkkw, akhirnya ketemu komiknya yang vol 8 di bazar buku di salah satu supermarket besar, and akhirnya dari ketemu satu berbuntut ketemu vol yang lainnya di berbagai tempat yang berbeda ( serasa nyari dragon ball, hahahaha ^^)

                                       HERE! harta karunnnnn (minus vol 10, vol 11-13 terbit lagi tahun ini)

Yaappp, 2 contoh di atas merupakan contoh ketika saya sangat sangat suka pada suatu seri/chara , yang bahkan kalau sedang suka sukanyaaa ( sampai sekarang juga) saya bisa serching di google seri/ nama chara yang saya suka itu, hahahha, tanpa sadar begitu buka folder picture ternyata isinya itu semua ( hal ini terjadi pada folder pic Gundam Seed Destiny saya yang ternyata isinya penuh dengan Rey Za Burrel , really loveeeeeeeeeeee him so muchhhhhhh, I will cosplay as him someday ^^)

Tapi biarpun saya orangnya gak update ada juga saat saat di mana saya update, hahaha, itu karena seri yang saya ikutin memang sangat menggiurkan untuk ditonton/dibaca, contohnya adalah Black Butler ( dalam artian manganya, cause animenya yang terdiri dari 2 season sangat mengecewakan menurut saya, tetapi Book of Circus ....is great ! finally can see Joker dkk in anime ^^) ,

                                                      (minus vol 11 ,16,17 forgett to buy it -__-)

Attack on Titan ( yang bahkan bukan cuma saya yang nonton di rumah, koko cici dan my mom juga, hahahaha, but manganya ntah kenapa jadi gak menarik lagi untuk dibaca -_-) and Gundam 00 ( like it , cause the story, chara, and the fight scene is really awesome ^^)

Selain mengkoleksi seri yang sangat saya sukai, saya juga mengoleksi seri yang saya suka but.... saya cuma mengoleksi yang di mana di volume atau episode tersebut terdapat chara yang sangat say sukai ( tapi saya tetep ikutin ceritanya secara online ^^) , contohnya beberapa komik di bawah ini yang hanya saya beli 1 , karena di vol tersebut terdapat scene atau cahar yang saya sukai ^^

Okayyyy, itulah sebagian dari diri saya yang ingin saya curcol kan di sini, hahahaha, because I'm never share about it to anyone ^^

see you at next postttt ^^

Toys Pradise ^_^ (Battle of Toys 2014 )

So.... finally...I can write a new post ...-_-  (college make me so busy, huhuhu)
Owwww, homework...homework...and homework.... that make me crazy you know, and i can't write new entry on this blog because so busy, huhuhu , but..... finally I have a time to write a new post and this is about the toys event that was held last month ,
and now...

start!

So... this event was held at Balai Kartini (Kartika Expo) for 2 days

this event was held together with COMIFURO , (arghhhh) , HONESTLY,! I'm really really wanna go to Comifuro but................. because something I must to go to Battle of Toys , cause must meet someone there and I'm also have a plan to come to the battle of toys (but....I can't buy toys that were sold at there, cause my money............-_-)

I'm arrived at there at around 1 pm /13.00 WIB by using Bus Trans Jakarta. When I'm arrived, I was seen many people (dominated by man) who going out from the event's location carried many toys like NERF,gunpla, figure, and many more, I think...."WOW, I can feel this event from away, HAHAHA"

After bought the entrance ticket (idr 30000, and i think this is no worth it -_- ), I entered the event's area.

The first thing that make me interest is.... the diorama.
That was many diorama of the toys that showed in this event, that's really COOL! I like something like this. Not only diorama, there are many figure that showed in show case that can make you really want to bring it home, hahaha

So, I take my phone out to take a picture and capture the moment of this event ^^

                      Rufus ^^

                      It's so Fantastic Batman ^^

                            Me with captain Haddock ^^

Beside that, there is some performance of cosplayer on the stage that you can see.
the stage

When I come, there is VOLT session on the stage, so I take this moment fastly (there is Marcelino Lefrandt, Volt cosplayer, and ...I'm forget his name -_- , sorry ><)

For the visitors who came with kids, they could play with their kids at Lego booth,because there is play area for the kids. There are also food and beverages stand at the second floor, but, there is no enough place to sit and take a lunch at second floor, so I decided to not eat -_-



After take around for more than 2 times (hahaha) and bought something to bring to home, I'm decided to....take go home ^^ This event really refreshing me after "ospek"/welcoming freshmen ,hahahaha ,
but..... I want to make the "+" and the "-" of this event

      +
-.There are many booth that follow this event (many choices in here)
-. Many discount and sale
-. Many (cool) diorama in the showcase
-.there is place for kids to play (LEGO)

      -
-. the material,design and the form of the ticket really not interesting
-.The guard on the entrance gate not check every visitors correctly (mereka cuma asal lihat kalau ada tiket di tangan beberapa lembar and yang masuk lebih dari satu orang , langsung dikasih masuk, gimana kalau yang masuk 5 orang , tapi tiketnya cuma ada 4/3????)
-. There is no enough place to eat at the second floor


Okay...that's my conclusion about this event, I hope next will be better than before ^^
honestly, I'm still can't move on from AFA ID 2014 , arghhhh >_< hahahaha, hope I can't move on fastly, hahahaha 

ANIME FESTIVAL ASIA INDONESIA (AFA ID ) 2014-DAY 2

Hey ho...................
it's been long time, since my last post ^^
I'm so busy to make a new post, because i must to prepare everything to enter the university -__-
so....... now, I want to share my experience when I'm coming to AFA ID 2014

before going to AFA ID 2014, I'm so doubt I can come or not, hahahaha, and I remembered that I must to queue for 3 hours to get the ticket last year -_- ( because of that, I'm lazy to get to AFA ID 2014 )
but..............
something special happened in my life...............

I WON FREE TICKET FOR AFAID 2014 !!! (and not just 1, but 3 tickets, hahahaha)

I got this ticket from the quiz on Twitter ( Fruit Tea ^^)

OWWWW, I'M so Glad when I got news about it from my twitter ( thanks GOD, thanks Goddess, thanks Buddha ^^, and thanks to my mom who allowed me to going to AFA ^^)

and now, I will tell you all about my unforgettable experience on AFA ID 2014

This year, I'm not going to AFA ID alone, but I'm going to there with my highschool friend (she was Illen that also went with me at CLAS:H Grand Final)

so, Illen and me going to JCC (Jakarta Convention Centre) at 8.00 a.m. , and we arrived at JCC at 8.45 a.m

after that, we looked many people come to AFA ID, that's crowded -_-

because we know that the exhibition will open at 9.00 a.m. , we are going to get our free ticket ( Illen got free ticket too) as soon as possible at Fruit Tea booth.
After find the Fruit Tea booth, we were queue to get it for around 15 minutes, and....Voila!!! we get ittt

 yeayyy, these are our tickets ^^

so, after got the tickets, we were going to enter the exhibition , but....... when we found the entry gate, we saw there was a very very long queue in front the gate  >_< wowwww, so, because of that , we were walking to queue , hahahaha

this is the long queue, hahaha... it tooks 1 hour to enter the AFA ID
we met Illen's friend named Kris when we were queued

so, we decided to explore the AFA ID together


now......................we were entered the AFA ID ^^
it is so crowded in there -_- we were going to the toilet first, cause I need to change my clothes with my Astharoshe costume. After wearing the make up, wig, and the costume, we were going aroun the exhibition (hall) of AFA ID. Illen and Kris were took a photo of cosplayers,action figure, and other interesting things around the hall.
There is something different on this AFA , that is many spg and spb that give flyer and brochure to the visitors.

and... the crew of this AFA ID is more than the last year, it is very helpfull to the visitors, cause we can easily ask for help to the crew.

         

                      Movie screening list

                       Me as Astahroshe Asran , hwhwhwhw :3

   Love Live .... ( I'm not a fan of Love Live, but you can found alot of things about Love Live in here



After going around, We searched a place that not crowded to take a rest for a while....
so, we found place in food dining area near the AFA Cafe. This area is really helpfull for the visitors to take a rest and of course to eat (this is the poin plus for this AFA ID i think)
So...after eat ( just me, because Kris and Illen didn't eat) I and Illen were going to the creators hub to search some doujin,sticker,badge,or key chain that I like.

AFA ID 2014 use 2 hall for this year, first hall was filled with the booth that sell original merchandise, sponsor, and many products from Japan, and for the next hall was used as a place of AFA CAFE, Creator Hub, food dining area, cosplayer area, mini stage,and also anime wonderland and Canon booth.
 At the mini stage, we can see the guest cosplayer ( at that time I see Kisaki Urumi, Pinky, and Ying Tze if I'm not wrong, cause I can see it clearly, it isso crowded -_-)
Beside that, we also can enjoy the DJ perform on Sony Booth ( it is very good ^^, I like the DJ performance, especially when they played Attack On Titan opening song and Let it Go from Frozen , most people in this hall were sing together ^^ )

So, after take a rest and buy something at Creator Hub, we are going to the first hall to take a picture again. After that, we are going to AFA Shop to buy some merchandise ( me and Illen have a plan to get meet and greet with Hana and Baozi, hahaha, but when we know that we must to buy their merchandise minimum 150.000 idr, we give up, hahahaha.....), I want to buy HanaBao poster and Kris want to buy YingTze merchandise (he is her fan ^^)
When we are in queue, something unforgettable happened

There are BAOZI and HANA in AFA SHOP!
WOWWWWWWWWWWW, HOW LUCKY I AM!!!!! :3
when we hear some girls yelling , Kris and Illen ran to get therir photo, and I....i'm just can stayin my position , because we are in queue -_-, but not take a long time Kris come back, and I'm running to get their photo too. It is hard to get it, because there was many girls that taller than me stand in front of me, but there is a god woman that allowed me to get their picture from her position ( uohhh, thank you mam ^^, how kind you are )

 ARGHHHHHHHHHH, Baozi-san are so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee, and HANA-san are so coolllllllllllll, I like both of them ><

after their appearanced, a crew of AFA SHOP open a special queue to buy their merchandise and can get handshake and take their picture from near, hahaha, so after hear that I ran to that row (as the last person, hahaha)
when I queued, the security beside me ask us ( me and a girl that take their picture )
Secutity: Dek, ini pasangan cowo cewe yah? (miss, are they a couple, boy and girl?)
Me        :....(keep silent cause I'm confused to explain it,hahaha)
Girl       : mmmm, dua duanya cowo pak (they are boys sir)
Security: Cowo??? jadi....itu dong (Boy???so, they are....) (the security was laughing after that ><)
Girl:mmmm, gitu de pak, hahaha (mmmm, yeah....hahaha)

Hahahaha, yeah, event they are.....(piip) but I'm still love their cosplay, their so totally as cosplayer and so skillfull (and also handsome, but sometimes pretty, hahaha, especially Hana :3)

and...after waiting for around 15 minutes, there is my chance to meet them and buy their merchandise, cause I don't have enough money to buy their photobook, I'm decided to buy their Kurobas poster ( I must to hide it from my fam , hahahahaha)
After paid and get the exchange, I got shakehand with them, and said "Xie Xie Ni", and they answer me, hahahaha, (love BAOZI smile ^^, and HANA too, finally he smile, so sweet HANA ^^)

After finish at AFA SHOP, we decided to going home , because we were so tired, hahaha

I think, this is really the unforgettable AFA ID that i ever come
and there are some plus poin of this AFA (+):
1. There are many crew that we can ask (some of them hold a board "ask ME" )
2. The row of the queue is good, not like last year
3. There is food dining area, so we have a place to eat our food, not like last year, that we must to sit on the floor or under the stairs and other narrow space -_-
4. There are more food and beverages stand than the last year
5.The Dj perform really entertain
6. There is more variated booth than before ^^
7.More guest cosplayer than before

I hope the next AFA ID will be better than this year, especially about the ticket selling, queue, guest , booth, exhibitor, and also the place.

That's my experience of AFA ID 2014 , next, I have a plan tocoming to POPCON, Battle of the toys, and Hellofest, hope I can come to there , and I have a wish , that is, coming to AFA SG, hahahaha, I must to save money from now, hohoho, but Imust to finish my Ayanami (07 ghost)costume before.
and.... see you on the next post ^^

Review: MAMA MALAKA

Hello everyone, it's been a long time no post, hehe
so...we enter a holiday season , right ? ooo, i'm forget to say: "SELAMAT HARI RAYA LEBARAN" bagi yang merayakan ^^ dan mohon maaf lahir dan batin yah

nah, sekarang saya akan memberikan review mengenai tempat makan yang enak untuk mengisi liburan anda semua
so.... we start it

MAMA MALAKA was located at Eastmall skybridge floor 3A, Grand Indonesia
This restaurant was has a cozy atmosphere and good vintage decoration.This restaurant was served a Malaka culinary like a Roti Canai, Murtabak, Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik and many more...
The price range is Rp18.000-Rp125.000 for the food and Rp10.000-Rp.30.000 for the beverages.

After saw the menu, we ordered some dishes and beverages to eat. We ordered Roti Canai, Pai Tee, and Murtabak for side dish. Nasi Lemak, Ghar Keuw Teow, and Mama's Mee Goreng for the main dishes. Green Tea and Lemon Tea for the drinks.

What i like from this restaurant is the service is good and we don't need to wait for long time for our dishes that we order even the restaurant was full when we come.

The 1st dish that coming is ROTI CANAI !!!! (I LOVE CANAI ^^)
This Canai was served with Chicken curry. The chicken curry was contain with one piece of chicken and one small piece of potato. The Canai is to oily -_- but when we eat it with the curry the taste is really good, I like it so much, but it is no spicy (i like spicy ,hehe )

NEXT....

We have  Pai Tee. I'm so curious with this dish cause the name so unique for me ( hehe). Pai tee is mix of chicken and vegetables in crispy patty cases. It is served with it sauce ( the sauce is spicy). It is taste good when you eat it with the sauce, the spicy of the sauce add some taste of the mix chicken and vegetables. The prtion is enought to share with your partner,friend, or family.

After Pai Tee, the waiter was coming with our drinks. The lemon tea and green tea (free refill). The Lemon Tea was served with ice and the green tea was served hot. ( i forget to photo the lemon tea -_- )

Next is Nasi Lemak, Mama's Mee Goreng and Ghar Keuw Teow

Nasi Lemak was contain with rice, fried chicken, rendang, egg, salada, and sambal (chili sauce)

I don't try this one (my brother who eat this one), but i try the chicken. The chicken was so crispy, but the taste is a little bit bland. The portion is very worth it with the price that we must to pay.

next.....we move on the Keuw Teuw ^^

My first impression when see the keuw teuw is..... the topping (sotong,egg,beansprout,vegetable, and the prawn) is so much ^^ , i like it, and the portion is also much, so i can share it with my mom and my sister. The taste is the combination of sweet (from soysauce) and spicy. The keuw teuw is wet by the sauce. This dishes was so recomended ^^ you must try it

Now, we tried the mee goreng ^^ . The taste isn't different like the keuw teuw,but the Mama's mee goreng is more spicy than the keuw teuw. It was contained with many chicken chunks, scrambled egg, vegetables, and some prawn. The portion was same with the keuw teuw. 

and now the last dish....

it is..... MURTABAK !!!

Murtabak is similar like martabak telor. It is crispy pancake that filled with chicken, onion, and egg, served with curry sauce. It is delicious if you eat it with the sauce. You can share it with your partner,friends,or family, cause the portion is large.

All dishes was served and I already tasted all (exclude nasi lemak , hehe)

and now i want to share the + and the - of this restaurant

+

-.the service is fast

-. the portion is much (worth it with the price)

-. the taste is good

-. The place is comfort and cozy

-

-. the waiter and waitresses has no smile to the guest and not friendly (but polite)

-.if you are doing a diet or eat in small portion, this restaurant is not suitable for you

Okay , that's all about my review of Mama Malaka Restaurant, i think it restaurant is good and can make the guest satisfied with the dishes. You can coming to try this restaurant, it really recomended.
