AAaaaaaaarrrggggghhh!!!

There's a burglar in my room! HELP! He's going to rob me of my laundry! *feigns horror*

To be honest, when Todd entered the room earlier to give me a fright, I did jump outta my wits

Probably recalling the shitty moment when my house was robbed when I was only 16.

Those burglars did look like that.

Anyway! If you've checked this post out, yall would already know what I wore for this costume party 🙂

For those who didn't, here it is –

Hi there! 😀 I'm Jessie, the one-half of the dynamic duo from Team Rocket

This is James, my other half.. and together we form Team Rocket!

When we were pre-drinking in South Rec Hall before the party, it was awesome to see most of our friends all dressed up already.

Below is Team Rocket Jessie & James X Ninja Turtle Deanna!

I superlove this photo because of the photobombers behind us 😀 😀

Do you see them? Cute max!

A masked phantom X Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notredame X Jessie of Team Rocket X a pirate!

We had fun fooling around in the rec hall while getting smashed at the same time

A ballerina X Jessie of Team Rocket

(watch this ballerina, she will transform into a leopard later)

Here with buddy Cleefy as Yogi Bear!

Or rather, paedobear as some of us teased him with 😛 😛

Alex the Identity Crisis (white guy trying to be black) and I

Check out those silver plated teeth! Coolies

With Bardha as Belle of Beauty and the Beast

Except that this belle wears a mask!

So we skulled our drinks and left for the party when it started kickin' in.

When we got there, it was time for some shiznit… as the party only begins when we rock up! 😛 😛

Are you readdddyyyyy!?

Remember the ballerina whom I told u would transform into a leopard? There you go.

A leopard X an identity crisis X Jessie of Team Rocket X Soviet (USSR) officer!

Team Rocket X Laura the pirate! (and Rowan in some yellow monkey pyjamas LOL)

More fun shots with ma party peeps! 🙂

This Catholic nun reminds me that I should probably go to church more often 😛

Masked rider Zoro X Team Rocket!

We hit the dance floor and danced like there was no tomorrow!

I had lots of fun camwhoring with all my friends – especially the ones who dressed up as something! – and even random people I didn't know. Oh well, alcohol and parties are definitely the social lube of everything.

So it's all good! 😀

When I spot someone in a cool costume, I'd point at them and grin

… camwhoring then comes naturally like clockwork!

Who is this? He looked pretty cool that night.

Doesn't matter because it works both ways; lots of people came forward to take pictures with us too!

Our moment of pride was when people whom we don't know, yell from afar, "OMG IT'S TEAM ROCKET! LOOK!" 😀

Whoopeedoo! At least the money we spent and the effort we took proved to be worthwhile.

More picture-taking with more people in cool costumes!

Mario Bros X Team Rocket

Yogi Bear X Team Rocket

another redhead (what character is this?) X Wonderwoman X Team Rocket

So technically, everyone was camwhoring with everyone!

But here's the BEST costume – I dare say – on a guy tonight.

Wait for it! *drumroll*

Now who's your sexxaayy mama?

😛 Cross-dresses always rock costume parties!

More piccies with my gurls! 😀 😀

Do you see my friend Daniel as Buzz Lightyear & Tarryn as a hot pirate in black? 😀 😀

Oh and Verity went as a Pilot! Man… she was a wasted nut that night!

It was really new to see her collapsing all over the floor and scrambling on the table!

Whatever she smoked, gimme some of that too! 😛 It's gotta be intense, I bet

With Josh and Alex!

I'm diggin' that new Japanese koi tattoo on him, don't know if its real though.

I don't recall seeing it on his arm prior to this party!

Or maybe I could be too wasted to notice, who knows? 😉

Us taking the stage to parrrrrtayyy!

And after all that fun and drinks, I suddenly needed to pee.

Not that you needed to know that lil piece of information but whatevs, now you do. 😛

I found an Avatar na'vi in the bathroom!

Take #1

And since the bathroom lighting was so pretty, #Take 2! 😀 😀

Came out from the bathroom, and Varun dressed as Varun wanted a piccie with us 😀

After all that sweat and energy-pumpin' tracks, it can get real hot and stuffy wearing the wig!

I remember sweating buckets underneath it, but couldn't be bothered to take it off, where do I put it? 🙁

So it's a good idea to get rid of all your hair and shave your head for a cause, Laura 🙂

And turn up in an army camouflage outfit. How smart!

More piccies taken at the deck where it's cold and windy!

much love!

Also, the deck is where our favorite security guard, Antonio was standing!

He's one helluva security guard Unlike other security guards.. especially the creepy, perverse ones in Malaysia!

Super-blinding reflective security guard X Team Rocket

Remember Yogi Bear in the beginning of this blogpost?

Give him a lil squeeze, for it's BEAR HUGS TIME!!

Alrightey! Last piccie of the night before we – in our current state – drag ourselves back home.

Sometimes I wish I could just sleep there and then, not having to walk back the lonnnnngggg way home.

But then again, my long walks home are often very, very nice

Again, I daresay, COSTUME PARTIES ROCK THE HOUSE DOWN!

More? Bring it on!

I hear Toga party is on after Easter Break, unleash the Caligulas, Romans and Greeks!

I've said time and time again about how much I enjoy theme parties, fancy dress parties or costume parties of any sort.

The thrill lies in going to a party as someone/something else, you bet!

To date, I've rocked up according to lots of themes; often as an individual, but not this time round.

So… prepare for trouble!

And this time, make it double! 😉

Childhood friends of mine would know how much of a Pokemon aficionado I was – or, am still, to be exact. Heck, remember when I was zealously addicted to the newly launched Pokemon Black on Nintendo DS written in this post?

I used to know  all (then) 151 Pokemon names by heart and all the soundtracks too.

So… who am I? 🙂

Does it ring a bell yet?

Okay, guessing game's over!

Thankfully, my fellow Pokemon fan and partner-in-crime, Kon and I decided to go as this dynamic duo.

Watch out Fancy Dress Party, here we come!

Make way for….

JESSIE AND JAMES OF THE INFAMOUS TEAM ROCKET!

If you've been living under a rock or had a deprived childhood of not knowing who they are, allow us to introduce ourselves in this video –

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4TPri39cxk&feature=related

I've always loved villains of any movie, of any kind. Maybe cos I'm morbid like that.

And so, I dolled up on the night of the Fancy Dress party to look the best I can to be one-half of this wicked duo while my partner James was also getting ready 3 doors down the road.

Hmmm… not too bad replica, right? 😛

She's my hero!

It was a very, very spontaneous idea, in fact.

Kon and I were just talking about the upcoming Fancy Dress Party over Facebook chat one night and randomly dished out ideas of what would be nice to go as. And suddenly, we conjured the idea of going together as the dynamic duo we are.

Going as individuals are a very common thing, everyone would go as individuals.

So what will really make one stand out from the crowd?

Two heads are always better than one, and packs a bigger punch too!

What could be better than Team Rocket?

To protect the world from devastation

To unite all peoples within our nation

To denounce the evils of truth and love

To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Oh and here's a trivia if you didn't already know, Jessie and James of Team Rocket are not a couple nor a romantic pair!

They're partners, or in other words, a duo. (I used to think they were siblings when I was 10 years old!)

But a very adorable duo if I do say so myself! 😀

That's why I love them so much, and they're kick ass too!

Wicked, ey?

This post is dedicated to my absolute love for Team Rocket and commemorating the awesomeness of this tag-team!

But what's coming up next will be…

The entire Fancy Dress party! Lotsa pics with my buddies all dressed up as insane characters too!

Oh and, it was fun when we browsed online for the costumes and surveyed the prices $$$

If any cosplayers are interested, E-bay and Milanoo has custom-made gears you can look out for. 

It takes up to 3 weeks to reach you, so ya ought to plan in advance!

This is Team Rocket, signing off!

Okay so who would've thought I'd succumb to the Jap pop culture.

I'm not referring (how about never?) to the likes of ganguro or lolita, but mild influence that appealed to the kittycat streak in me.

I don't know if this is a guy or a girl. Looks pretty androgynous to me.

Not a single clue where/what anime he's from too

But what hit me was the black cat and his black cat ears.

Long time readers of this blog will jolly well know my penchant to cats

Googling around, I found another one.

Now this one's a cutie. Except that she has pink hair and I have it red.

So just the other day, when I was sent to cover a story in Berjaya Times Square hotel for Comic Fiesta 2010, I was honestly not looking forward to it at all. Come on, Japanese culture? I never really found my affinity in that.

If it's any info, I'm a total zero in Anime, Manga, J-Pop and the like.

But a job is a job, and duty calls So I made my way there one early Saturday morning.

And there I saw people in out-of-this-world hair colors, all extravagantly dressed

Alright. I was in the right place.

Fo shizzle! 😉

Some piccies for your viewing pleasure 😀 😀

One could always use a helping hand in dolling up for a cosplay competition

Characters from Marvel's Batman on stage for a fan performance

Harlequin and the Joker!

Gawdknowswhat anime characters engaging in a swordfight

Gawdknowswho from which anime singing a themesong

Oooh art competition! This guy has so much creative juices, he drew the whole thing!

(Except the NIPS word, which was there by default)

I saw so many people portraying their favorite anime and manga characters… of which I haven't got the slightest idea of who they came dressed up as. For a moment there, I swear I felt as though I've entered a Greek symposium, and all I see are a bunch of Alpha Beta jargon αβγδεζηθ

Who? Where? But pretty awesome porcelain skin you got there, dude 😀

Are you about to wage a paintball fight in the ballroom?

If my instincts don't fail me, I'll take a lucky guess that these characters are from Naruto

Little Red Asian Riding Hood?

I reckon she's probably dressed up as some goddess with supernatural powers

FINALLY something I recognize!

Who wouldn't know the all time favorite Super Mario Bros. ?? 😀 😀

It's a timeless video game. If you don't know, you probably must've had a sad childhood or have been living under a rock, devoid of entertainment. Okay, so I shouldn't have said that. But I just did. hah.

Because coming from me, you may not want to take what I've just mentioned seriously. Yours truly here does not play any video/virtual/online games of any sort. Sad excuse, but I hardly ever have the time. Heck, I don't even know what games are built-in my Blackberry!

Super Mario and Luigi 😀

So anyway, that Saturday morning was something new. Instead of spending the sunny mornings of weekends sleeping till lunchtime, I actually witnessed a very strange yet interesting culture to me. 😀

And also…. hate to say this but…. I succumbed a little to it too.

And I did.

Don't fall off your chair laughing but I honestly didn't know what got into me when I bought this.

You've already saw it in the 1st picture but I repeat.

DO

NOT

LAUGH

Odd, i know.I was wearing this in the car while driving home

But in all honesty, where on earth can you go out decked in those pair of ears without attracting rude stares and whispers?

Only 3 places. Costume parties, roleplay sessions or in your car. Heh.

Clearly, I chose the third option.

If you ask me, I still haven't got around the idea of having 2 fluffy ears sprouting out from the top of my head just yet.

But I still find them pretty damn cute. Looks like it has become a new addition to my costume drawer

Signing off,

TheJessiCAT, in capitals, just for today 😛
