2007 is the year where THE KING DIED AND THE KNIGHTS OF THE FAMILY WILL STAND STRONG FOR THE QUEEN

The Dirt of 2007
1) THE KING DIED
2) My dwindling $$$ due to purchases and obligations
3) Idiots and Dungus that surround my life
4) Not enough time to make the cosplay I wanted
5) Car accidents...some moron banged my car's back twice nad refused to pay...making police reports and repair cost time, energy and lots of patience.

Accomplishments in 2007

3) Improving my costume and prop making as well as my photographic skills
4) Become the most reliable employee of Maxwell College
5) Build more Muscles, Burn more Fats and Improve my physical/mental health
6) Improve my eye sight(lots of non-spectacles cosplay character in mind)
7) Learn More on Photoshop and use them on my photos
8) Learn to cycle(Be getting myself a mountain bike to do that)...not cycled in my entire life
9) Live up to THE KING's ideals
10) Be the Ultimate Guardian for THE QUEEN

Christmas and New Year just came and went without incident...tomolo I've to start work already...getting to know the new Monkees for my college.
As the year starts...its time to start my GACC Cosplay project too

( SPOILER : BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID )

That's it for now...All The Best for THE MICKEY MOUSE YEAR OF 2008

Games Anime Comics Circle is round the corner...I don't intend to go there initially(Going ComiWorld BTW) and thanks to the postponement of ComiWorld 07, I going... and other things to update too, apart from my cosplay stuffs

*Cosplay Plans*
Initially I wanted to do something simple this year and had been telling my friends that I want to quit Armor cosplays for the time being...opting for something simple like an everyday ORI Character like the one I did in Anime Mega Blast...Cikgu The Red, Yakuza Thug or Officer Armagi of Gundam Seed Destiny(initially chipped for ComiWorld)
but
I guess the allure of Cosplay is a little too much for me...so I've decided to do an Armoured Cosplay once more...probably the only one this year I hope...reconditioning my Templar Knight(Paul de Raque)Costume of GACC 2006 for GACC 2007 with a few minor improvements...call me the Recycler if ya want hahaha!!!

Let's see how this goes...I'm gonna try to make the best of it as I can but I'll need a little rest from Cosplay Competitions since wining two consecutive years of it...perhaps GACC would be my last...be like some Senior Cosplayers that doesn't join Competitions.

2007 Cosplay Wishlist
Attend As Many Cosplay Event AS Possible
Participate In Cosplay Photoshoots(Both Behind and In Front Of Camera)
Do a Cosplay Ipoh Event
Have loads of FUN FUN FUN

*Photography Plans* with a little History Lessons
As most of you know...I'm also into Photography with a Bloody, Insatiable Passion. I've been doing Cosplay photography since getting hitched after joining PINSAMA's Secret Garden Photoshoot with Samantha@T304, Roxanne, BunnyChan and Camelia days before CF2005...months after getting my DSLR, Nikon D50(Entry level DSLR but a 1337 camera to lots of people)
Then comes 2006...a bitter Sweet year for me...learning from both sides of the coin about Photography...Bad and Good Stuffs learnt, some I do not wish to elaborate...I'm sure the relavant parties know about this. That all gone and withered...let's focus on 2007 instead.

2007 Photography Wishlist
-Tokina 12-24 F4 Lens
-Nikon D80/D200 Camera Body + Battery Grip
-Nikon Digicam - Small one..with VR Perhaps

Right, I do ogle on new camera equipments and stuffs but that will not make me a better photographer...and Mr. Cheang(A professional photographer)I know, could take Great photographs armed with a disposable camera than me with the most advanced Camera.

"ITS NOT WHAT THE CAMERA CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE CAMERA" That matters to me and I truely enjoyed Photography using my Current Camera ... No Offence, Fellas.

*Life Plans*
2007...year of the piggy piggy but I'm a Snakey Dragon...so says my Granny since I was born in th elast days of the Dragon Year(1976) and a few days before the Snake Year(1977) based on chinese calender.

2007 Resolutions
Improve on my Cosplay and Photography Skillz
Make Friends ... Reduce Enemies(Be Friends With them even though they think otherwise)
Get a GF(Photography/Cosplay Passionate), make her my Wifey and start a Cosplay Family(Planning)
Try not foul Up this CosFest like I did the last time
Be Ready for Everything
Make more $$$ to support Cosplay and Photography
Use THE SECRET Always

Overall Life Getting Better and Better for me...I'm a little too Optimistic sometimes and a 100% certified unnaturally HAPPY person. These traits of mine might cause disturbances to some who think I'm Shitty or Overly Dramatic...If you do, Please accept my MOST HUMBLEST Apologies...

ALL THE BEST!!!!
THIS HOGZILLA 2007!!!
