1st Persona Cafe In Malaysia : The Velvet Room


" Welcome To The Velvet Room "

CAN I FUSE MY PERSONA NOW WITH THIS ALL GLAMOUR AND STUNNING PERSONA MAIN CHARACTERS? Just kidding. 

Hello! Welcome back to my-so-unused-blog ! It's time to unleash my persona interest! That sounds so weaboo oh my- . Let's get back to the main topic , so the main thing people going to ask is "eh persona cafe does exist in malaysia?" "i thought persona fans doesn't exist in this country due to following the trending anime and games like Fate & Grand Order" "fulamak 1st persona cafe event in malaysia , how come i didnt know?" "WHY YOU DIDNT TELL ME PERSONA CAFE HELD ON 1ST JULY" .  Calm down, I also know the information last minute lah. I was so scared the slot got taken fully or the admin doesn't notice my application. I think I'm very lucky to notice the post of the page itself from one of my friend but I don't know who is it but bless you hooman. I was 50-50 thinking of going or not since I'm very scared of socializing with other persona fans due to vrchat craziness fans for this game. I can hide myself forever at the corner if I want to. After paying up the things I need to and fully reserve my slot. I was excited ! I read the rules and keep it in my head not to go crazy on that day (yeah I just chill a lot but internal screaming IS REAL GUYS ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE TATSUYA AND MINATO HOST FUH) okay . I LEGIT ORDER PERSONA 5 ANN TAKAMAKI WINTER OUTFIT AND THE WIG QUICK. everything last minute or not i would go as yukari if i know everything earlier :(  . 

So on the day itself , I woke up very late at 10:30am but then sleep back for 30 minutes . I forgot that persona cafe will start in 1 hour time. Harap maklum I went to JOM event last minute and arrived home nearly 9pm . I don't want to do the "janji melayu" , I rush everything and I don't care if my ann cosplay looks weird, order the grab like thrice because they reject the location since it's faraway. I felt blessed when I finally at the APMP cafe. I was about to cry since I don't want to get punish by the council president. secretly can imagine how furious they are- . I didn't take picture much because I'm 50% excited 50% scared. I'm so sorry. 


Here's the little picture before the event starts and 2nd level of the cafe looks like ! ( Chie Spotted)

Basically when you arrive , you have to take your attendance at the staff and my number was 21. How does my table looks like , the picture is on the right side below! The even starts at 12:10pm if i'm not mistaken, i didn't track the time. I was freezing to death since I sit near or under the air conditioner ceiling until yu narukami host asked am i okay or not. I was scared to death what if my contact lens become very dry but nah.


This is what me and other persona fans receive on the table itself; invitation card (your name will be written on it) , badges (each person get different badges but lucky i got minato ), 2 stickers of persona character (same) and lastly A4/A5 print picture of the persona cafe host !

Okay how about the food? It's actually tasty and yummy ! They served spaghetti bolognese, caesar salad with chicken ham, coconut chicken soup, mixed fresh fruits and the drinks are ice peach tea and ice green tea in buffet way. So eat everything while you can except me, i eat once since my skirt won't let me (on diet hehe) . i gotta admit two of my tablemates out of four including me, they eat 2- 3 rounds and the portion they get is so cute. i have to admit miss candy the one who sit beside so adorable with that perfect fluffy puffy black lolita dress. the exact time my poker face reveal is whenever the three of them talk in chinese language because i dont understand . it's fine but the language barrier is real bois. I wanted to interact with the other two but aaaa i can't speak chinese/cantonese.

Eh got no game to play ? Hi, we have a mission to up the social link by complete the 4 missions and afterthat we went to tartarus (which is go to another room on the 3rd level which is much more bigger to play other games involving HP and SP! ) So, what's up with the social link mission ? Each table will receive a mission from different host . 1st it's CONFESSION TIME ! COME CONFESS YOUR LOVE TO THE HOST And THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS TOWARDS THE PERSONA CHARACTERS! i'm sorry about the capslock, the host who come to my group is Yu Narukami ! I just confessed to him because hey why not yu is the best eventho he loves nanako more than the others. no kidding i questioned him a lot ( i think) . "will you choose chie or rise the idol" "would you date margaret the velvet room person" .  i still don't get the answer for margaret since it got cut off by chie was ringing the bell that we need to go to tartarus. its fine! i know yu wouldn't date margaret unless he's into mature lady with a high noble position . my other tablemates were crazy about joker , i guess joker is their ultimate husbando. i'm here like wah you all loves joker so much but no doubt they know the host reeee . before we went to eat, the first mission we were on was imitate Igor's voice saying "welcome to the velvet room" in low tone voice held by minako and makoto host! This one is funny because first mission so nervous of course lah , giggles and laugh until the end . we manage to accomplish it ! Hey hey 3rd mission is take a selfie with your favourite host ! Naoya the nenek moyang persona 1 is the one who give us the mission and the pose we need to do is make an angry face expression ! K.O BOIII IM LIKE WHAT but i forgot which group gotta pose sexy hahaha . In my head is "minato" because he have that fierce look including makoto ! but i still go for minato, minato is bae (SECRETLY DAPS) . I have the selfie apparently here you go ! 


[ COVER MY FACE IGNORE THIS ANN AND FOCUS ON MINATO HOST BOI ]

Last mission is singing! either in group or on your own , yes i'm shy because the host was joker akira kurusu/ren amamiya . screw the name. I cosplay as P5 character sing burn my dread P3 song. What concept is this. Ann singing burn my dread (or bread. joke) instead last surprise? Clearly you can see i'm a fan of persona 3 . the three cuties sing persona 5 ost songs which is i forgot- I have poor memory ;; So the first 3 person who finish the social link mission will get one whole set sticker of persona. I raised up my hand quick when Chie the main host ask who finish it . You don't know how hype I was plus we get the special service from the persona host! right, the first 10 early bird people who apply for the slot more maju than the normal one. What special service i get after i do the lucky draw from the box? It's kabedon . I get to choose one of the host. I take Minako instead Minato, she's much more precious . Minato host if you're reading this i'm sorry but minako is the real girl protagonist right there standing to get the spotlight back. uh picture? here it is . thanks to candy for the help taking pic of it ! 

Move on to the tartarus activity after all of us done increasing our HP and SP ! Tartarus activity is the most exciting one. So first of all, we line up in 3-4 row like we used to do in high school/primary school but hey persona games mostly is about school life right? So there's a table and whole set of tarot cards  (arcana). we choose it by ourselves but not allowed to reveal to the others, so they divided us into groups by calling out the card roman numbers. Unfortunately, I have the same card with another guy. I didn't expect such an occasion to happen. I volunteer myself to be "campak" or more likely put into another group that is Rise's group! The twin tails group because there's another ann coser in summer outfit. After minato host call out the numbers and split us into groups , the first stage game is quizzes ! question time ! RAISE UP YOUR HAND TO ANSWER AND GET POINTS FOR YOUR GROUP! it was intense, no joke. i didn't answer but i did raised my hand up but STILL SCARED. Oh ! so my group members was shaun, dana and koyuki the cutie ann! Dana and Shaun the one who answer the questions a lot. We actually gotta guess a song too but damn i'm too blur to focus. Hey, that coser yosuke or known as mikao damn son . can i adopt her. she's the most fast person raise up their hand to answer. Mitsuru too!! I respect the person who answered "What does S.E.E.S means in Persona 3". I don't even remember what does it means when i'm still playing persona 3.  Next up it's draw and guess challenge ! This one is funny . You need one member to volunteer to draw and the others have to guess it. Thanks to shaun and dana WHO ANSWERED WHAT I DRAW CORRECTLY . the time was given 10 seconds but they extended to 20 seconds. I remember clearly that one of the team get to guess Carmen Persona which is my ann's persona. This joker cosplayer couldn't make up his mind what persona was drawn by his member. Shaun look at me and say "you know which persona is this right" . I nodded , if i don't know i can rot myself as ann on that day. up up to the next game ! The Red Light! THIS ONE ALSO INTENSE AND HYPER AS HECK. im so lazy to explain, let me copy paste this explanation : 


but the difference in the game that held by persona cafe members is, the first person who get to touch chie host , gets the point. when the music stop or chie say something , all of them freeze in summoning persona posing. I didn't go for this , i might fall down earlier since i'm wearing my usual black high heels boot. Koyuki, Shaun and Dana take in part , we even do paper rock scissor who needs to get through it. I think Naoya , Tatsuya and Makoto group leads until the third game , while Yu and Rise group on tie. So we get a break for 10-15 minutes , everyone was chilling and drink until the last game dancing starts. This is a long ass blog post i've never done before. Please give me an evoker so i can shoot myself to release my persona and use the power. 

 Picture of the red light game more like "you touch chie the stick waifu you win, don't laugh and etc or you want her kungfu death kick" . 

Welcome to Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night with Minato Arisato ! That's the last stage of tartarus , suddenly minato comeback to dancing game after defeating nyx . Minato say "damn you atlus" . I didn't record any video for the dancing competition since i participate it. I aim, focus and remember the steps. It takes me three times to catch up everything and listen to the beat . What I set up in my mind is "dance like you're Ann Takamaki in the dancing star night game!" . I did, it works! I forget the people's surrounding me and have fun with it. Honestly speaking, I knew the Mitsuru coser infront of me was leading because look at those damn bodywave . perfect! REAL MITSURU THERE Y'ALL! The last game have the biggest point for you group to win ahead and get the first place. If there's a tie point within one of the groups, they have no option but to do the dance again and pick the winner. After few minutes of learning the steps and try, Minato host were confident that the persona fans was ready to start the real dance. BOOM! The song been played and everyone focus onto their dance. I was like "let's have some fun like we're in the dancing game girls and boys" . It doesn't take whole 2 minutes , roughly 1 minute? I wish the dancing game was a bit longer because let me reveal something, I used to join k-pop group dance in highschool. The pain of covering the dance and learn the hard steps takes 8 hours practice to make it perfect. I'm happy i was able to use my ability for the last competition.  

We chill once again and wait for the persona host discuss who's the winner. Roll the drums ! The winner is Rise Group ! Twintail Group! I didn't expect it to happen but I was happy to win the prize of official persona host's cosplay print picture and a joker badge. 3 lucky draws gets original yu's persona 4 keychain , minato persona 3 keychain and one set persona 5 original soundtrack game music CD album from japan. Candy got the lucky draw for the album! I was happy since she looks so gloomy a bit the whole time period game. Chibi got choosen to be the best cosplay in persona cafe and her prize is persona 5 file ! She's a cute caroline but i'm scared of the twins velvet room, don't worry i manage to selfie with her! She's that shy shy type makes me wanna squish her but hell nah she's caroline on that day. I don't want to get smack by this twinny person.  Her one whole group of friend shiiori , mikao , mochilin do attract me a lot because wow the friendship is strong . can easily level up the social links few times to MAX LEVEL.

p
Here's the picture of the prints and badge i get . The tarot card i get is priestess. i'm happy since i've cosplayed makoto who's the priestess confidant!

So we're at the end! Finally right? First of all, I'm very happy that persona cafe has been held in our country for the first time! It's really hard to find persona fans since the community is very small. I'm glad i was able to share and talk my interest and experience playing persona game (eventho i'm playing everything rn) with the others. The persona host and stuff did a great job on running the small cafe! Next time please find partner for our nenek moyang persona 1 and persona 2 protagonist ! I want to see they get flustered over their partner hehe. I would rank the cafe event 10/10 ! It is worth it, reasonable and enjoyable! It's really sad that time flies so quick. I wish I could go back to the time where we all laugh and happy on the particular day. Looks like we have made our own history on 1st July for the persona cafe. We should be proud of this from head to tip toe especially Chie known as Venus Car who manage to held this memorable event. Thanks to all the persona host who took their time to spend this precious moment with the fans of persona. You guys did a great job, I'll give you great kudos by promoting your page community in my blog and other social media link i have. Let the persona fans who have been hiding in the cave, come out and reach out to us without hesitation. They should be proud of being a fan of persona series game and who they are. Thanks to Mochilin for telling me the list game since I forgot most of it. I'm sorry for my harsh words and hypeness in here! I feel like I'm about to burst to tears writing down this great memory. I just realize i don't have selfie with joker haha . Let's end here.
 The book is filled with new history and memories. It will never be forgotten by all of us.

Second Post My First Impression Towards The Host Will Be Up On Saturday Night ! Special One So Stay Tuned !

Alive Back


She keep on thinking about making the right decision. Maybe she already found the right answer.

It's already 2018 and I finally breathe in this blog of mine that I abandoned since august last year. I couldn't update because it was hectic , chaos, stressful, busy and exams bugging up my life completely. what's the final result? I passed the exam with flying colors but there's no A, I do felt the regretted feelings for not putting the full effort of blood, sweat and tears into it. The past is past , there's no turning back as it remains in our own history of living in this world. I'll make the right decision on which course i want to pursue and make it come true even this country is falling apart twice. no , many times perhaps. I think 2018 already starts with sweet and bitter memories , I just cherish it? Hard times will eventually come and chase me down to the bottom of the earth when i enter the college/university. I'm not going to take that as one of the reason i feel shitty through out the year. Don't put too much expectation in one thing , you are going down and upset of everything. go with the flow as it drags you to somewhere while making wise decision. 

Cosplay? I appear back in the community? Uhm, i would say i exclude myself from it. I don't want to get the harmful toxic and rumors. It's better to stay contact with few friends, new friends? I don't mind honestly speaking. You can go all the way out to be friendly with me. First event of the year is TAGCC ( Toys Anime Game Comic Con ) and cosplay as rise kujikawa from Persona 4. I was so lazy to put serious makeup on my face yet just light one. I went there just to buy some stuff for my partner. I didn't expect to meet Akechi and Akira cosplayer at the event itself. It does really made my day since I become a huge fan of persona series game/animation. Why i'm into it? guess my partner drag and introduce it to me. I only went yesterday but queuing up was not that bad, the booth artist was cool and i didn't know i would make a friend with one of the artist there. She's a fan of persona's game , also surprised to see me cosplaying as rise. I'm so happy to cosplay persona 4 character and bring the character to life back even it was really out dated. who cares, at least i'm enjoying cosplay. 

Here's the picture of her artwork with her friend (partner booth) commission i asked to draw:

Some other picture taken at the event : 






special thanks to The Coser With The Red Nokia taking this shot and i edit the lighting a bit.

So i'll end it here. Thanks for checking out this un-dead blog of mine. Will update more further with my persona cosplay plan and etc ! 


            

Once Again Welcome!


|| A life without you it's horrible || 

Look who is here being alive , it's me kki or mira. I have survived for this 16 years of living in this world. Yet, i am grateful to meet those lovely peoples. I had gone those moments in a hard situation , sad , happy neither short of time to face the reality. People always said that i'm such a strong girl even it's hurts my feelings a lot. There's a lot of people who is out there facing such a horrible day. I wish you the best to stay strong and be yourself! So , the previous blog? what happen to it? I just abandoned it like for a months already. Let's start a new path where we can share our memorable things with everyone. Isn't it true ? Yes it is! 

Before i go to the topic named "thank you" . Let me explain why i name this blog as Ambiguous Wishes . Ambiguous meaning of unclear or inexact because of a choice between alternatives has not been made . so its mean you made a choice double that has not been confirmed yet . so let's say ambiguous wishes is a wish where i wish two or more and it can't be decided. i'm bad in explaining but i tried already. i hope you do understand it.  Proceed to the next topic . 

" Thank you for all the memories we've made for this nearly 4 years "

Thank you for whom? It's you, my friend. 
For what? The memories we've made in cosplay community for this 4 years. I won't ever forget it . I know i will be stopping for awhile. Who knows i might comeback by within end of the next year? I think that's all i want to say here. so i'll update this blog when i'm free!
