Today was a loong day. I went out for breakfast at a café called 'Fox', I had a honey-glazed chicken sandwich, and a salted caramel latte. The chicken had bones in, which is definitely a cultural difference that I'm not yet used to, but it was delicious. The coffee was really good too. Then, we went into KL and spent the day in the central market, and went shopping with my friends for clothes. There were some really pretty clothes there, I would recommend it! We ate at the Pavilion mall food court, it was okay. Then we explored the KL Chinatown.

Love always,

Anime Fest Plus 2024 Convention Experience Log - With Photos!

Hi, hello! As I've recently (as of this post, yesterday morning) attended Anime Fest+ 2024 at Tropicana Gardens Mall, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, I've decided to write an experience log about my day there! While I will be posting a few different cosplays here, since my blog is currently primarily about MDZS, TGCF and SVSSS at the moment, most of the cosplays I'll be sharing will be from these three titles. To add to the fun, I'll also have commentaries on them!

To preface, the largest anime convention in Malaysia is Comic Fiesta, an annual mecca with 70,000 attendees as of the year 2023. Anime, games and comics are popular in this country, so there are smaller cons dotted throughout the months.

Anyway, the crowd wasn't as large as Comic Fiesta. As the structure of Tropicana Gardens Mall is rather narrow, you'd technically have to file through in two to three lines to be able to walk in and out of the place.

The exhibition hall at the fourth floor hosted all performances as well as cosplay booths. You'd have to ride one of the two escalators up to the hall - plebs without a ticket are doomed to be stranded at the bottom of said escalators, unable to sop up the merriment held exclusively above.

Here are some pics though, just in case you were a pleb that day, or just didn't attend the event:

Main hall programs and booths featured mostly Hololive and sexy pretty girl cosplayers and figurines, given the regular, expected fare when it comes to the anime consuming demographic (yes, I'm calling you out, my anime-watching brothers). I didn't take pictures of the doujinshi market out of respect for the art sellers there, but I did buy a beautiful print and got some lovely free stickers from that ONE vendor who sold BL stuff among the throngs of moe girls/Genshin Impact.

Yes, there was only one stall. But that one vendor made my day! Bless your heart, sister!

Now, I'll move on to the highlight - the cosplays. Nothing fills my heart with more joy than seeing happy people wearing colorful costumes and having a blast just being part of the convention scene. To be honest, it's so common to be wearing cosplay outfits nowadays that folk don't even notice you when you're dressed up - and I say this from experience; nobody noticed at all that I was in costume (or they were far too polite to laugh at how shitty I looked LOL, I didn't even dare take pics of myself). These events usually become scavenger hunts for me, to identify the ones from series I know or my tribe (fellow MXTX fans aha!).

First up is an oldie that's a goldie - Mr. Spock from Star Trek (credit: FaceBook user Yasuhiro Orihusay):

Honestly, I did NOT expect to find any Star Trek cosplays there. My dad's a Trekkie, so this was one of the first pics I sent him at the con itself. Live long and prosper, Mr. Spock!

Next, a furry OC:

I wasn't able to get their social media account as they were waiting in line for an autograph by a cosplayer, so unfortunately I'm unable to credit here.

Furries are currently still a new thing in Malaysia - but I'm glad to see them appearing more frequently at our cons, since they do diversify our pop culture scene quite a bit. Furs Upon Malaysia (FURUM) is held annually in Kuala Lumpur. The tickets are always sold out within an hour, so it's definitely growing and also contributing to tourism (Indonesian and Singaporean furries gather there too).

Also, they're fluffy. I love fluffy things. Much thanks, furry fandom, for being fluffy!

Moving on, here's a group cosplay of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure's Six Pistols (Mista from Golden Wind's Stands, if you're wondering which season it's from):

Vibrant and very spot on! I was unable to get their social media account due to the crowd and disorientation on my part. Do try to look them up, though! They were pretty popular, so I'm sure someone would have shared some info if you're interested.

Anyway, here's a White Mage from Final Fantasy (credit: https://www.instagram.com/yari_hayashi/):

Final Fantasy's one of the older franchises, but it's definitely rising again due to the new FFVII remake. I thought he was Garnet until I saw the blond wig. Bless the mages, healing power plus!!

Next in line is one of my all-time favorites, Sailor Moon (credit: https://www.instagram.com/jiahuab0719_cos/):

I'm a Moonie so seeing a Sailor Moon made me pretty excited! I don't see too many Sailor Moon cosplays even in Comic Fiesta - cosplays at our conventions are pretty seasonal and tend to follow trends, from what I've seen. She definitely caught quite a bit of attention with her wings, too. I saw her getting stopped quite a bit, so I'm glad I got a pic before a line formed!

Aaaand! I've saved the best for last! I'll be showcasing the MXTX stuff now. To start off (with a bang), here are two cosplayers of the number one seasonal love interest of the BL world, Hua Cheng a.k.a. San Lang Didi (Grown Up Version):

Credit: https://www.instagram.com/karry.1213/ (donghua version) and https://www.instagram.com/kopiii_cos/ (manhua version)

Remember how I said cosplays at Malaysian conventions tend to be pretty seasonal? Well, the current flavor of the month for the BL world is definitely TGCF - and the hottest flavor is now San Lang didi. You're going to get stopped for photos pretty often for dressing up as this flashy guy, and for good reason too. Donned in striking red, Hua Cheng is the Ferrari of the danmei world.

I overhead Kopiii_cos' friend saying so many people have been asking for photos! Viva Fafa!

Next, we have the ever beautiful WangXian couple cosplays:

Credit: Wei Wuxian (https://www.instagram.com/purple_384/) and Lan Wangji (https://www.instagram.com/anson1510/)

WangXian's a staple when it comes to the MXTX fandom. There's nary a person who doesn't love these two soulmates, and with these elaborate costumes, they've certainly stolen the show! They were the first couple I saw at the entrance of the exhibition hall, which makes sense since there was an OTP contest going on that afternoon.

Moving along, we have the main character of his story, the Crown Prince of Xian Le, Xie Lian (credit: https://www.instagram.com/arkutagwa/):

I gotta admit that this Lian's the sweetest of the Xies so far. Had a field day calling each other cute (what can I say, we both had cute personalities)! Gotta love that charming dimpled cheek, bless!

Speaking of cute, there's also this whole cute pose thing going on with certain attendees (credit: https://www.instagram.com/chzesin/):

I won't lie - I didn't recognize the character at first. But with the dark-gray-to-white ombre, black and red colors to tell you that's a Wei Wuxian, I'm just going to take a gamble here and deduce that yes, that is indeed a Wei Wuxian and include it. Let me know if you don't think it is.

Last but not least, we have our MXTX OTP group:

Credits: https://www.instagram.com/ayafvrvv/ (Luo Binghe) and https://www.instagram.com/close0402/ (Lan Wangji) - the rest didn't share their social media accounts but they did say you can find them through each other's accounts.

Turns out they're a group who'd entered the OTP contest that afternoon. If you're wondering, no, Binghe isn't paired with air (this is Bing-mei, not Bing-ge). There was a large number of attendees that day as it was Sunday, so their Shizun was still looking for parking. I'd gotten lucky since I'd arrived there just as they'd opened up Basement 3 so ZOOM I parked near the escalators with plenty of space to spare. Until today I chalk it up to being last-minute dressed as Xie Lian, the god of good luck for hobos like myself (or, according to popular belief, Hua Cheng's blessed every Xie Lian cosplayer out there no matter how much we look like we've just stepped out of a jungle). I also had plenty of space to sit for a lovely lunch of salad and green tea!

Granted, there were actually a few other Xie Lians there as well (he's the current flavor as well), but I didn't want to chase after them from afar since the flow of human traffic in this particular mall wasn't too conducive for trying to get pictures, unlike KLCC's garden. Usually, more fans are dressed as the two main characters, Wei Wuxian and Xie Lian - or the shous/bottoms in popular danmei. Surprisingly, I actually saw quite a number of gongs/tops this trip round.

So as a bonus, here's a pic with all our dandy gongs/tops together:

A dashing lot, aren't they?

Anyway, this wraps up my experience log as an MXTX cosplay hunter! Hope you enjoyed it! Bless!

the other day i was thinking about how i would want to travel the world when i have money of my own but that long flights sound like a nightmare (my longest flight ever was like 3 hours i think) so i came up with this fun game in which i looked up how much it would take me to circumnavigate the world using exlusively short flights.

so, that's what i did. first of all, rules and disclaimers:

-all flights have to be around 3 hours long (so no longer than 4 hours).

-they also have to be direct flights

-i more or less counted travel time between connections to make it as realistic as possible, tho with the final schedule i would barely get some rest and it would be cool to visit some of the cities i'd fly to so in an ideal world where this would be feasable, i'd make it longer and with more time to sleep and do tourism i think.

-despite trying to follow everything, unfortunately i didn't take into account how freaking large oceans are, so the flights in the pacific and the atlantic will unfortunately be over 4 hours long. i tried looking for the shortest flights tho, so they're not ridiculously long either.

anyways, the schedule i would follow is below the cut:

in total, i would have to take 18 planes in 10 days:

madrid (MAD) - athens (ATH): 3 hours 25 minutes, Aegean Airlines, 12:40-17:05.

athens (ATH) - tbilisi (TBS): 2 hours 40 minutes, Aegean Airlines, 00:10-03:50.

tbilisi (TBS) - almaty (ALA): 3 hours 35 minutes, Air Astana, 22:20-02:55.

almaty (ALA) - delhi (DEL): 3 hours 25 minutes, Air Astana, 10:05-14:00.

delhi (DEL) - dhaka (DAC): 2 hours 25 minutes, Air India, 17:05-20:00.

dhaka (DAC) - kuala lumpur (KUL): 3 hours 55 minutes, Batik Air Malaysia, 23:00-04:55

kuala lumpur (KUL) - brunei (BWN): 2 hours 30 minutes, Royal Brunei, 12:10-14:35

brunei (BWN) - manila (MNL): 2 hours 15 minutes, Royal Brunei, 11:55 - 14:10

manila (MNL) - guam (GUM): 3 hours 55 minutes, United Airlines, 22:25-04:20

guam (GUM) - pohnpei (PNI): 2 hours 30 minutes, United Airlines, 20:25-23:55

pohnpei (PNI) - majuro (MAJ): 2 hours 10 minutes, United Airlines, 15:20-18:30

majuro (MAJ) - honolulu (HNL): 4 hours 40 minutes, United Airlines, 19:30-02:10

honolulu (HNL) - san francisco (SFO): 5 hours 01 minutes, United Airlines, 07:00-15:01

san francisco (SFO) - dallas (DFW): 3 hours 35 minutes, American Airlines, 17:00-22:35

dallas (DFW) - new york city (LGA): 3 hours 35 minutes, Spirit Airlines, 05:33-10:08

new york city (JFK) - reykjavik (KEF): 5 hours 35 minutes, Iceland Air, 13:00-22:35

reykjavik (KEF) - paris (CDG): 3 hours 25 minutes, Iceland Air, 00:45-06:10

paris (CDG) - madrid (MAD): 2 hours 10 minutes, Iberia, 12:40-14:50

Malaysia wants the world to know that it is officially homophobic. They won't even let you tell time in a gay way.

Owners or sellers of rainbow-coloured timepieces made by Swiss watchmaker Swatch face three years in prison in Malaysia, the interior ministry has announced, as the Muslim-majority country rails against LGBTQ symbols it says could "harm morals". Homosexuality is outlawed in Malaysia and LGBTQ people face repeated discrimination. Malaysia's law enforcement unit at the interior ministry raided Swatch stores at 11 shopping malls across the country in May, including in the capital Kuala Lumpur, for timepieces bearing what it called "LGBT elements". Anyone who "prints, imports, produces… or has in his possession" such items now faces a jail term of up to three years, the ministry said in a statement.

FFS, the bigots in the Malaysian government are actually counting colors in rainbows.

A ministry official told AFP in May that 172 watches worth $14,000 were seized in raids because they bore the "LGBTQ" acronym and had six colours instead of the seven in a rainbow. The six-colour rainbow Pride flag is one of the most well-known LGBTQ symbols globally.

This isn't the first time recently that LGBTQ+ matters have been in the news in Malaysia.

Matt Healy, frontman of British pop rock band The 1975, kissed a male band mate onstage and criticised the country's anti-LGBTQ laws. The ban comes ahead of elections in six Malaysian states that will serve as a barometer of public sentiment for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's unity government against a powerful opposition consisting of Malay-Muslim political parties. He has been criticised by the opposition who allege he is not doing enough to protect Malaysia's Islamic values. Anwar says his government will not back LGBTQ rights.

^^^ That last statement is fairly obvious.

According to DSL, this is what Malaysia exports:

Malaysia’s most valued exports would be electronics and electrical goods. They make up a high percentage of Malaysia exports of 36%, followed by chemicals (7.1%), petroleum goods (7.0%), liquefied natural gas (6%), and palm oil (5.1%).

We shouldn't use palm oil from anywhere for environmental reasons; that's easy to do without. But when buying electronics or electrical goods, always look for the country of origin. If it says Made in Malaysia then look for an alternative. Tourism and business conferences in Malaysia should also be avoided.

We don't have to enrich homophobes in Malaysia who use religion as a cover for their bigotry. .
