The days have passed and I think I've begun settling into the new year. And by golly! What fun has this pass few days been. You could say they were those better days which I've had in my life.
I mean, just letting your hair down. Going on crack, laughing, having fun. To top it up, they were with people which I least expected or do not talk to much in the past. I must also thank SD for showing me Melindachan's video logs. Yes, they were fun to watch and it had me laughing for a few good hours. However, it thought me a valuable lesson behind all that fun and laughter. And that is my mentality as a cosplayer. I mean, just by watching a few of those video logs, I noticed the difference between our cosplay community and the American cosplay community.
The peeps in America are really laid back and the one thing in their minds when they put on their costumes and go for an event is to have fun. And boy do they really ensure that it will be fun. What bout us back in little Singapore? What do we feel when we put on our costumes? I'm sure there's fear of being flamed, fear bout not being perfect/good looking in costume. It's all fear, uptight and such. Not that I'm saying that we don't have fun. But seriously, we're too uptight and such. Another thing bout the peeps in America, it doesn't matter if your fat,big,tall,small,short,tanned,white or whatever. They really don't care. Here's an example. A big sized cosplayer doing a character which is smaller sized. People there don't ignore him/her. They actually go to them and say, "Hey man. Your looking good there" or "Nice costume". Over here..What do we get?? People will tend to ignore these people and go look for those elite cosplayers. And when they get home what happens? Flames and shit storms happen. As I see all these I can just give a sigh and shake my head. Another good example is when the cameraman in the video log shouts, "HEY GUYS! YOUR ON YOUTUBE!". And their reaction? A big and wonderful "HI!". What if you try doing that in Singapore? People will go, "Siao", walks away/hides self or of course a minority who are on high would say "Hi".
As I watched more video logs, I felt that if people don't change their mentality, I should change mine. This is so, I'd get best of both worlds. I'd learn to enjoy myself more and be less uptight yet not neglecting on my costume ^^
Well, that's my rant for my depression on being a cosplayer who's odds are stacked against me.
O level results are released on the 12th of January 2009 at 2pm. It's gonna be D-day on that day..What would be the result of being in 5 years of secondary school be..Oh great one, I've tried my best. I want to get into poly so please grant my wish. It's been a good so far. So, all I need to make it real is just one more reason..
That and let me get my job at Pan-In-The-Box! RAWRR!!
