A little while back a friend of mine invited me to Sherlock Holmes Exhibition at the Power House Museum. I know how much she loves Tobio Kageyama so I decided to make Tobio cosplay as Sherlock for this outing. I think it turned out quite well. He looked very Sherlock Holme-ish.
It was an interactive exhibition where we got to play detectives and solve the case. I highly recommend this for anyone that lives in Sydney and have a free day to go visit the Power House Museum for some fun.
Can't forget Hinata as Watson. Seriously doesn't he just look adorable! When I think of who should be Sherlock and who should be Watson between Hinata and Tobio, somehow it just seems fitting that Tobio is Sherlock and Hinata is Watson - don't you agree?
The exhibition goes onto till the 8th of October 2017. So make your way there and I hope you get to live out your inner detective dreams.
Of course to end the day of using those brain power we went for dessert at The Dessert Kitchen in Chinatown. Bear marshmallow in my Chinese milk tea.
This was supposed to be an omiyage (souvenir) but with my schedule being so busy these days and starting a new role I haven't had much of a chance to see some of my friends to give these out. Since it's a perishable good then it has to be eaten soon or it'll just be a waste. So, I turned it into a little photoshoot with some of my favourite boys - Kageyama and Hinata!
I love their happy faceplates. So cute with those wide smile! Look at the Fukusaya cube, it's as tall as them. It's such a cute packaging to hold the castella cake. I went down south in Japan so we definitely went to Nagasaki and visited the Atomic Bomb Museum... for anyone who can get quite emotional, I would suggest you be prepare when you go because those feelings do really hit you. It really is amazing how far they have come from since that incident and yes the people in Nagasaki are such beautiful people with their hospitality. One of the most famous goods of Nagasaki, are their Castella cake. We went during the cherryblossom season so these limited cute packaging have the cherryblossom motif all over them.
There were a few favours to choose from but I went with original. Have to try the original that is oh so famous. It is really yummy!! Perfect to go with tea or even coffee.
I really should be finishing up with my holiday trip but.. much photos to go through and trying to remember the locations and the stuff I did on the trip.. head hurts just thinking about it. Instead I decided to blog about the little small road trip up to Mount Wilson I did with a few friends on ANZAC Day. I had just come back from my trip to Japan in less than a week and my friend asked if I had plans for the public holiday, which of course I did not.
I, of course took some a few nendoroids with me for this trip to see those gorgeous autumn leaves. Heads up, if you ever plan to go to Mount Wilson which is up in the Blue Mountains, please bring cash.. two of us did not bring cash and that was not a good idea because some of the entries to the gardens required an entry fee and we were just lucky one of our friends had cash on her.
At this point of time my camera has not been fixed yet.. probably still sitting somewhere in Sony's repair centre.. anyway so most of the shots were done on my phone which didn't turn out too bad. Would of loved to be able to take some of these shots from my camera but really I can't complain.. well actually I really should of bought my portable charger because my phone did died before on this trip.. My cutie Tomoyo from Cardcaptor Sakura admiring some beautiful flowers that looked a lot like butterflies.
Don't you just love how Mikazuki Munechika holding his tea fits perfectly with those autumn trees? Or how Tomoyo and that purple plant matches so well.
A short hike later we found a small waterfall that just gives off a refreshing feel - so very Suga like!
Tomoyo has the cutest face plate and those sparkling eyes makes everything around her look amazing! Hopefully I'll get some more photo series done and uploaded soon!
I should be posting about my Japan road trip but I had so much fun yesterday that I just had to insert this post while I still remember how much fun I had. Yesterday I got invited to do a toy photography session with autumn theme with a really good friend who does some amazing Pop Vinyl photography - @popfunko_adventures on instagram or you can check our her blog which is a mixture of Pop Vinyl, Music and Adventures!
Actually the first thing we did was go and have the "Return of the Chedi" burger. It is part of the Star Wars celebration. A burger that looks like it belongs to the galaxy with its vibrant colours. It has beef patty, smoked cheese kranky (that's the sausage looking pieces in the burger), pickles, ketchup and cheeses.. and I swear there is some chilli paste in there somewhere because there was definitely a bit of spice. As we were planning to go to Centennial Park so we decided to get our burgers to go from BL Burgers on Oxford Street, Darlinghurst for our little picnic.
Gorgeous day, although a little bit of traffic but we managed to get some really nice shots, despite the fact that there wasn't enough autumn leaves yet.
We've got Sugawara playing ball in the autumn sun. Then we have Ichigo Hitohuri whose trying to stop a sword battle. The Wonder Woman Pop Vinyl belongs to @popfunko_adventures =)
Our toys met and played together (ᗒᗨᗕ) here's our little gathering.
