Hello~
Last weekend had been full of fun and excitement ^0^! As most of you already knew, I joined the Tsubasa Lookalike contest. One day before the actual fashion runway, the top 15 finalists were required to attend the press conference where Tsubasa Masuwaka would be appearing!! That was the first time I got to see the billion dollar gyaru in person 0.0!!
That breathtaking moment~ (>0<)!!
Start with photos of me on the way to the press conference :))...
Arrived at the conference room...
I want the goodie bags >.<!! But they were for the media guests :(.
Hello, Kurumi and Denise~~
With super adorable Teru-chan :)! Love her wig!!
Sorry for the bad resolution >.<.
The sweet and very pretty, Peishi ^-^.
And together with my favorite girl, Denise :D!
Got the chance to take photo with Xia xue :D! She was invited as the guest judge for our contest ^-^! So cool huh? She looked gyaru even when pregnant! What inspiration~ :).
Moving on to the next day...
Woke up super early for rehearsal, then went home after that to get some good rest before getting ready for the show that night.
The stage of the contest runway...
Getting ready to start the result show...
Emcee Reiko-chan asking me question about my Tsubasa lookalike's look. I chose Dollywink no. 9, the image at the back screen was the look I was trying to achieve ^-^.
A sneak peek at the billion dollar Gyaru ^-^!! She looked like a living doll with no flaws on her face! Omg~!! Photo credit to Shibuya Gals Page.
And thanks to the supports given to me by all my family, friends and supporters, I won the popularity contest (^0^)! A big salute to all of you *bow*!

Hello!
Recently, I joined the Tsubasa Lookalike contest organized by Shibuya Gals online.
But I was so busy last month with work to blog about it >.<. Lucky for me, I have a group of very supportive family and friends to help me through the whole contest. So I am dedicating this post to them :D!
I know those of you who have dedicated their time for me must be feeling sick and tired of looking at my contest photo so I decided not to post it up.
The first person I have to thanks will be my dear for helping me with the phototaking to look like Tsubasa. He even started a group online to gather people to vote for me^-^! How sweet of him huh~! Because I was busy with work and he was taking a break from it, he was one of the people who put in the most hard work for my contest :).
So , how can I not love him?!!
Moving on, I would need to thank my primary school best friend, Candice, for gathering her family and friends to vote for me everyday without fail :). Even when she was sick or tired from work, she still managed to find many people everyday to vote and inform me about it ^^! Such great dedication!! Thanks so much darling :D!
Thank you, my other bestie, Lisa for remembering to vote everyday despite your busy schedule :)!
Sweet thanks to my very pretty uni friend, Aveline for her constant votes and sharing ^^.
Thank you my most adorable, future sis-in-law, Kelly! Despite being in the same contest (she joined really late >.<), we helped each other gather votes and she gave me many tips and information on how to look like Tsubasa-chan!! Hehe! I got the gut feeling she would get chosen by the judge to be the winner of Tsubasa lookalike ^0^! Let's see whether I am correct ^-^.
Denise who voted for me too even though she was in the competition too ^^!! Thank you girl!
The rest of the people I am going to thank, I either do not have their photo or their permission to post them here, so it will be just words from here on :).
Thank you Ace and Mike for advertising me on your fan pages to increase the votes!! Thanks for all the great connection! I am so lucky to have international friends who are popular hehe :)!! Your supporters became my supporters as well ^-^.
Thank you Julie, my new found friend online from France, for your unconditional love and effort! She's totally an expert when it comes to gathering people to vote and you wouldn't know how lucky I was to have her in the group.
Another contest expert, Dina ( I called her my angel undercover), I have to thank you for helping me even when you were at work and off-work.
The other important and kind souls I need to show my appreciate to will be Charlotte, Tweety, Kenny, Princess J, Isabelle, Orisamu. Most importantly, a BIG salute to my incredible Team D who dedicated their whole day during the final moment of the contest for me :)! I was out the entire day and night so I am really so grateful for their help.
It was so lucky of me to be able to find and meet the right people to help me through~!! I made so many friends because of this contest and I have learnt so much from the new friends who often join contest:).
I always believe that quality friends build quantity. Its true (o^O^o)!
Ok! I shall end the post with a few good jokers who also helped me in the contest.
Thank you for your 1 vote, bro!
You don't know how much your 1 vote saved me, even though the contest has been running for nearly a month and you only gave me 1 vote on the final day. But its the thoughts that count, bro :). I knew that deep inside you, somewhere, you wanted to vote for me daily, but you were too busy playing HON with Noel, so you didn't have the time to. But thank you for your ONE vote!
Thank you for your share, my childhood friend, Wathann, but you missed out "....and I will find you" that was my last few words.
Lastly, for all supporters who voted for me anonymously, thank you very much *bow*!! Also, thanks you Shibuya Gals for organizing this contest ^-^!!
Signing out,
Ashley~

Hello~
Are you an anime fan like me :D? If you are, I'm sure you would have went for this year Anime Festival Asia in Singapore Expo!!
Last year, it was my first year cosplaying, and I went there with my primary school bestie, Lisa!
Me as Yuki from Vampire Knight and Lisa as Alice in Wonderland~
She looked so super adorable right (=^0^=)??
But sadly, Lisa couldn't make it for AFA this year :((....
How I hate her work >0<!!
I was sad, but I wasn't alone.
I was lucky enough to have another pretty bestie to cosplay with me this year too :)!
Say hi to my gorgeous university bestie, Aveline ^0^! She's like really pretty right??
She was the Vampire Knight this year, while I cosplayed as Ririchiyo from Inu X Boku SS.
Aveline looked more like Vampire Knight Yuki than me >.<.
But I love how we looked together ^0^! Our uniform and style matched each other so well hehehe!!
More photos of us :))!
We made a tour around the event and saw many wonderful cosplayers!!
One of the very pretty cosplayer I met was Yui! I haven't seen her for a long time, and was so glad to be able to see her there ^-^!
Doesn't she look fabulous as CC from Code geass :)?
More walking around...
Saw some stores selling cosplay costumes :)! So cool huh?
But it was kind of tough going about the place as it was really packed there >.<! Look at the crowd who turned up for the event! It was crazy!
Among the crowd, we spotted this...
Human-size Pikachu~ >0<!! OMG! Look at that thing...It was so cute cannn~!! It even need two men to hold its hand to walk ^0^! Lol!
We followed it around but it won't stop to take a photo with us :(.
Then we bumped into another cute thing...
...and the kind Japanese man asked if I would want to take photo with it.
So I did =DD~!!
Even though I don't really know what mascot it is, but it's really so adorable (o^0^o)~!! It just stood there quietly waiting for people to come take photo with it!
とてもかわいい nehh o((>0<))o ~~!!
By the end of the event, there were three people I need to thank~!
Two of them were my pretty bestie, Aveline, for cosplaying with me for the event and her kind boyfriend, QS, for driving us there and back ^-^! It's so nice of you two! Thank you very much =D!!
Lastly, I got to thank my dear for accompanying me down... Even though he isn't an anime fan, he still came and took many photos for us hehe ^-^! Love you, my dear *muack*!
A final photo of us before I end this post hehe ^-^!
It was fun!! And I hope for next year, I would be able to go again with Lisa and Aveline =D!
--
Bye-bye AFA~!!
We'll see you again next year ^0^!!
Ashley~
