[MapleSEA] 2014 New Year Events & Monster Farm Updates

Hello everyone! It's been quite a long time since I've blogged.
School is keeping me so busy I don't even have enough time to rest! However, I managed to catch up a little bit on MapleStory during Chinese New Year.

I am quite surprised that there are actually people who missed my farm, so I have decided to rebuild it again. I am sorry for being so inactive!


New Year Events

Here is one of the New Year Events MapleSEA have.
It is called "New Sun Rising".

 Upon collecting 100 Young Sun after you have accepted the quest, you will receive Sunrise Badge Box.

Obviously, you will get a badge. However, they may be of random stats. I had opened a few boxes, and I got one with +3 Weapon Attack. However, this badge have an expiry date. :(

Monster Farm

 I had two of these cuties before my farm became inactive. Aren't they cute?

 I got a tiny panda and I have decided to keep it. Though I am known for having many slimes and snails in my farm, it's not a must to have a all-slime farm, right?

 The latest update of my farm! The two A+ monsters are actually "dead". Currently saving warus to revive them. Will do a full renovation of the farm soon!

And lastly... I got a pet Rooty! I didn't get to buy the other two colours because I have decided to save money. I actually prepared money for all the three rooties though... This Rooty is a permanent pet and it have inbuilt item pick-up skills. Did you all manage to get a Rooty pet?

Thank you for reading and have a nice day ahead! <3

MapleSEA Private Event SG

Hello everybody!

I am sorry I am so inactive (>.<"). I was busy preparing for EOY and the Asiasoft Event a few weeks back. My Orchid staff was in a bad condition and I had trouble fixing it.

There was a Maple Event in Singapore, at E2max, December 14. I was invited there as a Cosplayer.
It was a private event. However, I was told that anyone was welcomed but only the invited people can enter the private screening room.

The event wasn't that great because...there were only a few Maplers who turned up. After the Q&A, there was a photo-taking session with Cosplayers. I can say that... everyone is pretty shy, so I did not took much pictures with anyone.

Here are some pictures I have:

Orchid/Orca and Lotus.

Thank you Tofu for helping out to make the staff! (The one I made was really broken and I was so afraid I couldn't make it for the event.)

Keeping Mir warm! Utah's pig, my bunny, Evan's strawhat, Phantom's hat and Blackwings Hat.

 From left to right: Neinheart, Evan, Utah, Hawkeye. They are playing "phantom cards". Maybe only people with powers knows how to play them.

 I did not get any codes as I arrived late. I was given this for coming down to the event. (OAO)

Have not started making them yet... Shall keep them and make them with my maple friends someday.

All of them are so busy with life and studies, I guess I will be busy soon too, due to national exams.

First of all... I have to thank Asiasoft for organising this event and inviting me over.
In my personal opinion, this event was a pretty rushed one, so think...everyone should stop being upset about this event. I know many of the players were unhappy about the event. I, myself too, were disappointed. But... let's just forget it okay! :3 They will do a better job next time yo!

Despite everything, I had fun, I met new friends and gain more self-confidence.
The photographer and the staff were friendly, and I am really thankful for that.

If I ever have a chance again, I will put up a notice in advance to help spread about the event and do a better job in Cosplaying any Maple Characters I will Cosplay in the future.

Really sorry for the late update and...Merry Xmas!

Please continue to support MapleStorySEA and ... yes I am not related to Asiasoft.
I am a normal Mapler and... a cosplayer I guess? (OaO)

Also, here is an interesting video I found. Enjoy. x3


Thank you for reading!

[MapleSEA] Hayato

Hello everyone! It's been quite awhile since Hayato was out, I'm sorry I updated this really late.
I started playing Hayato on the day of it's release, and I have to say... the storyline is pretty amazing.

Here are some screenshots I have took:

Akechi Mitsuhide is so hot! -Fangirls-

 Hayato did some introduction. Yeahhh!

wife of demon lord.

This is how Hayato will look at the start

As you try out the storyline, you will get some equipments!

 A pretty NPC

 Another pretty NPC. Is it a guy...or a girl?! D:

 This NPC made me laugh.

 Hayato, awkward you.

 When Hayato asked who approached Francis earlier, Francis said that. As expected, Francis!

Never expect you to be so smart, Hayato! xD

That's all the screenshot I have. Overall, Hayato storyline is pretty fun and I really enjoyed playing it.

I have to admit it is pretty hard for me to catch up with the storyline because all the characters have very long name(though I do study Japanese)! Guess I have to be hardworking and read up more on Japan history and try out some manga related to Japanese warriors.

I will update more on Hayato and my Monster Farm soon. Till then, see you!

Thank you for reading.

Anime Festival Asia 2013

Hello everybody! It's been awhile since I've updated and I must really apologise for that.
I had been preparing for my Orca Cosplay, and I would like to share with you my final works!
These photos were shot at Anime Festival Asia (AFA) 2013. A friend of mine, Hisui, is cosplaying as Lotus, the brother of Orca.

 Orca and Lotus

(The "chain" was slanted ORZ)

If you have played through Xenon or some of the heroes' storyline, you would definitely know that Orca love bunnies. If not... you have learnt something about an NPC today. (*w*)

Really thank you to JP_Capture for the photos!

Do check out his page and remember to click the "like" button to show your support!

It has been more than 5 years since I started playing MapleStory. I met many friends and had lots of fun. Without this game, I wouldn't have met so many cool people. I would definitely like to share more about how much I love this game, but let's not spoil the happy mood of this post with a long story of mine! :)

This is my very first MapleStory cosplay and I am really glad people did recognise that I am cosplaying Orca from MapleStory! I have also met other cosplayers who did cosplays of Cygnus and Phantom.

Some other time, I will share how I met so many amazing friends from different walks of life by just playing this game...

I will definitely bring in more MapleStory cosplay if I can in the future!

 And lastly...
FOR THOSE WHO SAID: "IT IS ORCHIDDDD AND NOT ORCA"
Orca is more well known as Orchid, however, I am following the Japanese version which her name was spelt "オルカ ". Yes, if your brother is named after a flower, you will most likely be one too. Any is fine, but I just like Orca more. Let's all not argue about the name anymore. :)

Thank you for reading and with that, I shall end this post. Have a nice day! :)
Creepy Orca whispers: "MapleStory deserves more love, people..."

[MapleSEA] Random Beauty Coupon

Hello everyone! Today I'll be sharing about ... Random Beauty Coupon!
Yes, I've waited for this event to come since... the last random beauty coupon event ended. Haha.
This time, random beauty coupon event starts from 18 of September, until 13 of November 2013.
Upon clicking the Random Beauty Coupon(RBC), 5 features of your character will be changed. The following 5 features are: Hair, Hair Colour, Face, Eye Colour and Skin. Beware, they might change your looks for the better, or worst!

Long story aside, let me share with you some of the hairstyles I got for my Evan and Phantom!
These screenshots are just a few looks I got. I am sorry I could not screenshot all.

Here are some looks I got from hunting monsters.

 Final look for my Evan!

Lots of thanks to IxKataraxI(he used his DS as shown in the pic) for helping out to hunt the coupons!

Here's a tip for all of you! (thanks to IxKataraxI again)
If you want to hunt beauty coupons fast, you can visit Kerning Square. If I am not wrong, it is the 3rd/4th floor, where you hunt a yeti/pepe toy catcher. The more the monsters... the higher the chance you can get a coupon! However, if you want to level fast, you can still hunt coupons from higher level monsters.

Now, let's see what kind of looks my Phantom got!
To begin with... I NEVER wanted to change my Phantom's look (he's perfect, sexy, blonde and have charming purple eyes).

What happened that causes me to try RBC on my Phantom:
While I was a hunting a monster, I realised I ran out of potions and I opened my inventory to click on my other potions. Unfortunately, my hand slipped and I clicked on the random beauty coupon I just picked. Ughh... Unlucky me, right? Well at least there's some drama in my life. :)

 Some looks my Phantom got!

(The female sign should not be there... My Phantom should be a man and attract ladies...)

Here are some more looks my Phantom got.The last one(bottom right) matches my name, right?

I had spent weeks and days hunting coupons for my Phantom. I just can't get perfect look for my Phantom. I guess, this is what I get for being blur and careless... ah forget it. :(

And finally... I got a decent look for my Phantom. He's back to blonde again!

He does not have his purple charming eyes though :(

Nevertheless, I am happy with the results!

How about you all? Will you try out the random beauty coupons?

Thank you for reading and I hope you all will have a nice day!

[Monster Farm] More and more slimes

Hello Everyone! It's been quite awhile since I have updated this blog, and I must apologise. I am currently preparing for my Orca Cosplay and I can't wait to share with all of you.
Meanwhile, let me update you with my new family members in my monster farm.

 Few days back, I got another slime monster. I named it EbiEbiEbi, since the first was named Ebi, then came second one, EbiEbi.

  Goodbye MochiMochi, I will miss you.  Why did it lie to Demon Slayer anyway. Haha.

 They're lining up like models. Ebi Tempura, anyone? Or do you prefer Ebi fry? -grins-

Got a cat! Yes! It is so cute. I am sorry that I have two non-slime&snail category monsters in my farm(they're so cute I just can't ignore them), but I will discharge them soon to recruit more slime&snail members!

Thank you for reading this post and have a nice day! I will update more often after I am done preparing for my Orca cosplay. Till then, seeya! :)

[Monster Farm] More slimes!

Hello everybody! It's been quite awhile since I've updated. Recently, I have a few monsters added to my Monster Life family.

A new cute slime joined the family! I named it Red Mochi \(^v^)/

And a giant snail joined the family! It's hugeeee!

Again, for those who want to visit my farm, you can visit by adding me on your buddy list in Monster Life. My farm name is GreenTeaCake.

I never expect anyone to enjoy visiting my farm as my monsters are not of high grades(the highest grade is A+ I guess). However, a player told me my farm is famous for having many slimes and said that I should continue having them in my farm. So...Thank you everyone for your support! -blushes-
