Capyba Cafe @Johor Bahru (JB), City in Malaysia

My time at Capyba Cafe or Capybababa! 😂

I'm just going to be honest and straight forward. It was a café with not much capybara theme food but they have two small capybaras. I think they are still kids because the adults are usually bigger than what I saw at the café. It was still a good place to drop by and chill out or if you have kids, you can let your kids experience touching small capybaras. These were the drinks and dessert we bought to try. 

The brown drink is a Hot Chocolate that costed 13 RM, and it costed 14 RM for Cold Chocolate drink. The yellow cup of drink is a Hot Macadamia Milk that costed 13 RM, and it is also 14 RM for the cold option. The next cup of drink with red syrup and a piece of strawberry is called a Lover's Lemonade. It costed 16 RM, under the section of drinks known as the coolers. It was stated on the menu that it's made with strawberry, lemonade and soda water. It tasted really refreshing and thirst quenching.👍👍 

I'm not really sure if their menu will ever change, but currently they only have one dessert. It's under the section of sweet, known as the Capybara Pudding and it costed 16 RM. To be honest I thought it was going to be jiggly, bouncy and soft? But it was pretty solid. We found out about it after attempting to slap it with a spoon, only to cause splatters of chocolate onto my friend's camera. HAHAHAHAHA! Well, it still does jiggle a bit if we shake the plate strongly. LOL! 

I love the mango bits, it does match well with the chocolate pudding. I would totally smear more chocolate syrup onto the pudding before putting it into my mouth. It tasted okay for a solid chocolate pudding, not exceptionally delicious but good enough. 

After waiting a little while longer, our main dishes finally arrived. These were the main dishes that we bought after much consideration and curiosity.😂

The first one that we had was Mentaiko Pasta. It costed 29.90 RM. It was stated on the menu that it's made with refreshing capellini with pollock roe sauce, topped with flying fish roe and fried ebi. I am not really a fan of the sauce so it tasted okay for me. It is just not something that I would particularly go for, but it's still tasty and probably delicious for some other people. I do like the fried ebi. Despite me having minor prawn allergies like itchy tongue and sometimes swollen lip, it was very crispy. I love the crunchiness!👍 

Next we had Salmon Tamagoyaki Mentai. This was not what we expected. It was stated on the menu that it's made with salmon top with torched mentaiko spread and tamagoyaki. It costed 26.90 RM. It's taste was very normal and the rice was not hot enough so overall it wasn't very delicious. The mentaiko sauce doesn't go well with the teriyaki sauce. I don't even know why there's two sauces in one dish. It was a little bit overly sweet and yet salty at the same time. I would not recommend this unless they love strong or overwhelming flavors.😜

Lastly, we had Wild Mushroom Aglio Olio that costed 23.90 RM. It was stated on the menu that it was a simple and flavorful dish that features pasta toss with garlic, chili flakes, cherry tomatoes, shiitake and button mushroom. This was probably the best of the best among the rest that we had tried. There was a tinge of herb flavorings that make everything goes well together. It looks spicy and yes, it was spicy but tolerable for me. So chose at own risk! Well, there is always an option of sharing dishes.😂😂😂

Here are some cute photos of a small capybara!💕

It was a first come first serve cafe. There was no need for bookings. It seemed like anyone can touch those cute capybaras anytime they want as long as they have a seat in the cafe. They do have toilet and it doesn't smell nice. I recommend bringing your own tissues for own sanitary in toilet for I did not see any tissues in their toilet.😂 Please make sure to give time for queuing and waiting as it was a long waiting queue for me.💦 I am not sure if they are going to be there forever because small capybaras does not stop growing, and the space of the cafe is not exactly spacious for a big capybara to walk around? Will they allow the capybaras to walk around? Their plans for when the capybaras are bigger is still a mystery, or is there any plans? So make sure to check them out while the capybaras are still small!!😂

Back to Blogging!! (っಠ‿ಠ)っ

 Hi, I'm officially back to blogging after a long time of trial and errors in life. I am now in my 30s and I came to realize that I have been trying too hard to be perfect. The past is now all over and I have probably reached a new beginning. 

In any case, I came to found out that world cosplay site have deleted all my cosplay photos while I was still figuring out my life LOL. As stated in their disclaimers or terms, they have wiped out photos of every cosplayers that have not log in for 5 years and more. The good news is I still have back ups so I am going to continue uploading my cosplay photos here like my very own portfolio website. 😂

I used to be fully focus onto Facebook and Instagram that I have completely forgotten about blogging and youtubing. Plus the latest? Tiktok platform. I don't think I will ever make a personal Tiktok platform? Maybe only one Tiktok platform for my current small business because having too many platforms to update can be tiring and might give me a burnout. 

As usual, I still have social anxiety but I think I'm getting better at pretending I don't have social anxiety in front of gatherings. 😂 Recently I have even managed to cut off from the most toxic person of my life. She has been there clinging onto me ever since I was born so it was really the most difficult decision ever. 

She had 30 years to understand me but all the time she is just trying to reply me. She did not protect me from bullies neither did she make me feel good about myself. She pushed me away when I tried to hug her for comfort and she did not praise me when I get good grades. She did not make me feel proud about the things I am good at, and she did not save me when I asked for help. She did not comfort me when I needed it and she wasn't there when I was crying. I knew everything about her and did everything I could as much as she wanted me.

As I struggled between what I chose to do and what I have to do. I always ask her what does she want and wondered if there were anything else I could give, or maybe I was still not good enough that is why she wasn't happy. But as I grew older, I realized I forgot to ask myself what do I want to do with my life.

The first trigger that lead me to ask myself this question was when my husband asked me what do I really want, and then I started to wonder. I have always answer most of my questions with the word anything because honestly it really doesn't matter, or does it? Suddenly I hesitated. Do I really want to invite her to the happiest day of my life or should I pretend that she never exist?

After telling her about my wedding plans, she refused to agree or acknowledge what I wanted for my own wedding. I mean....I'm the one that's getting married right? Not her right? After a lengthy battle with myself, I decided to not invite her.

But after everything was done and became the past, yet another super long battle with myself. I decided to tell her about it for I felt that she should at least know that I'm married before I become a mother of my own. She was fine at first but somehow..... I do not know how? She found out that she was the only one not invited, and then she explodes. She kept saying that she exploded because I didn't do more for myself? She said that I should have a grand wedding or something like her's. 

She's confusing because she was totally fine before when I told her that I'm married and how I planned my wedding. She then continued, telling me that it's every girls' dream to walk down the aisle in a wedding dress. So I told her, well apparently that's not my dream because I do not want to get tired attending to guests in a freaking heavy gown when it should be the happiest day of my life. My dream is to go overseas for a honeymoon, that's all. She replied me saying that a wedding shouldn't be just rom and a photoshoot. I'm totally sure she was just replying and not trying to understand me. Even though I knew her so well, I still had hope that she can be my mother and yea it was still astonishing and unbelievable. 

A child being an adult for an adult is really hard. Sometimes I even felt like a horse. Bred to be put onto a racing track. Being compared and forever not enough. Bred to be sold to another family. Euughhh I hate it when she said she wants to ask for the bride price from my husband. I am not a horse you bred for selling.  

Now I will do things that I have always wanted to do.🙌 I will probably have more decisions to make and more things to figure out in my life, but I guess everyone else is doing the same thing too.😅 I will just try my best to catch up now that I'm released from the past! 💪 

Also, I came to realized that I actually love playing games a lot. I guess when I was young, my whole life is about mental survival. I was trying very hard to maintain my sanity, now I am slowly healing. It's hard but I am doing my best to heal. I think I can call myself an adult now. HAHAHAH! But I am an adult who's trying to satisfy her inner child. HAHAHAH! I played so much online games that it came to a point where I felt like an actual gamer, but my anxiety is killing me whenever I thought of streaming my gameplay. This is going to be a hard wall to break through, because I can't seems to love my own voice. Why do I always cringe or have the strong feeling to hide whenever I playback my own voice? Much mystery.

Quick update

Hey hey hey!! 

To whomever still visiting my personal blog🤣 I think I've found my goal and is finally on the right path! There's pros and cons though. I'm definitely doing well mentally but physically it's restrictive. Although the new store is still not producing a stable income but at least it's finally slowly moving forward. For some reason Etsy changed their system and exposure has been dropping. While the new store has finally start moving, orders have been coming in randomly which is a good thing. My real goal is to publish a crochet book of my own though it's gonna take years, and I still have alot of things to learn. What else have I yet to say? Right. Physically my injuries from my younger days are all hitting me real hard. 😅 I woke up with bodyaches everyday. Especially my broken? Or fractured tail bone. Until now the doctors could not understand why is my tail bone neither healing back nor breaking off. It just remained bent. The only way to find out what is really happening, is for me to under go surgery but it's risky. So I'm gonna let it be. I'm still too young to be paralyze hahahah!😅 I still have so much more things I wanna do. After I did the inferior turbinate reduction surgery to remove my enlarged inferior turbinates. I went on to visit a chiropractor which later I found out that I have quite a scoliosis curve. Oh well.😌 What could be more worse than carpal tunnel syndrome. Honestly right now nothing is worse than feeling pain everyday on the tips of your fingers.😅 Oh right, I was told by the doctors that I have arthritis on my fingers but it's okay. I will of course do everything I can to keep it under control. I still have many things I wanna do.😁 I would love to go for pilates classes and nail art classes. Oh hopefully I will be able to book a booth in December.😣🙏 Please let the covid situation be better soon!! Please at least in Singapore!!😅

The waiting game😣😣😣

Time sure flies fast!! Sorry for the super long disappearance. (シ. .)シ I think I might have successfully setup a super duper small business in resin supplies but thanks to the covid situation, it's currently a little held back due to delivery delays. More like I'm waiting for the international delivery delays to reduce before I open my smol shop to every country. Ahhhhhh~ ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿ヽ(°□° )ノ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Meanwhile I spent my remaining time for crocheting and as my hands are not very cooperative, I could only open booths for my crochet works. BUT. Due to the current covid situation, I'm forced to stick with online stores.〣( ºΔº )〣 SO. I decided to create an online store that doesn't charge every single listed item just for my crochet works. (ಥ﹏ಥ) Still in progress though. Ack. I will update the link into the blog when I'm done.☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ

I have been enduring my feels for cosplay during the times when I'm slaughtering myself for a successful small business literally every single day. So recently I decided to go back and check up on my amount of existing cosplay photos that have yet to edit. Oof. Too many. I will be selectively editing the photos in between the intervals of crocheting and progressing in my creation of a crochet shop. welp. _(:3 」∠)_

Let's ganbatte together wwwww ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧ 頑張ろう!!!

Hiatus? I think my status is hiatus 🤣🤣🤣

Hey~ to anyone who is reading this.
Although I'm not sure who will read this but yea, I'm currently on hiatus because I have been trying to build my own craft business from things that I like to make.

I've thought about it lots of times and I am confirmed that I was absolutely unhappy when people praised my face or body instead of my crafts. Well. It is definitely nice once in awhile to be praise because of how you look.....but everytime? When I posted photos or cosplay photos, people forget to see my costumes.

In fact, sometimes it felt like I had to include my face so that people will at least see the photos. Such sadness.

I came to the conclusion that I dislike fame or money build up by my "sexy" photos. Honest opinion? I wonder why only females are being objectified? I tried to change it and get out but I came to notice the change in the direction of the cosplay society recently. I am very sad for the new cosplayers. And I wish to get out of the "sexy cosplayers" label but yet still do what I like. I do love cosplay but I'm starting to lost that feeling after consistent pressure from the society. It's felt like I'm torn apart from two different sides.

Ones that wishes me to stop cosplaying and ones that wishes me to do more "sexy" photos. I want neither. I just want to enjoy photos of myself looking like a fairy, a vampire, a psychic student, a heroine, a school idol, an angel, or somebody who holds a weapon-like with awesome moves that I can't really be in reality.

I will never stop cosplaying but I would love to exit the cosplay scene. I want to disappear and appear whenever I want. Not having to answer to anyone. I will cosplay whenever I feel like it. I will cosplay whatever or whoever I want to. I am going to ignore anyone who ask me to "cosplay this" or "cosplay that". I will also ignore anyone who ask me "when is the next cosplay". I will also ignore anyone who ask me to post more photos. I believe I have no obligations to follow what people want from me. I don't think it's a must for me to reply text messages from strangers too. I still do reply though whenever I feel like it.

Selling a high definition photo for 2 usd was the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life. Never gonna do that again. Consistent printing of cosplay photobooks and prints for only these 4 people was and is still very time and money taxing. I am still doing it because they were the only ones who sees me as a person rather than "just another sexy girl". (I hope)

Printing cosplay prints and photobooks for hundreds over people is actually much more easier than printing for a handful of people. Would always wonder why did I agree to start printing my cosplay photos. I am still wondering what do people do with my photos? Since the beginning, lol.

I can't get an answer but lately I was able to find something that I could do and people could put it into good use; my crafts. I love crafting, the main reason why I started cosplaying. I came to like crafting little cute things too. Reality check. I can't give big because I need to eat and survive in this world that's ruled by currency. So now I am building a path for more cosplay cosplans by selling my small little cute crafts. Being able to sell them gives me a reason to make more and I enjoy every crafting moments. It's a win-win situation for me~ So if you don't see me posting cosplay photos, it means that I am busy crafting them cute little stuff.

Carpal Tunnel syndrome has hindered my lifestyle since 2 years ago. Teared many times, all that depression and frustration but I was never stuck. I couldn't not do anything. It is still with me now..... but I am still moving on. Life has been whacking the shit out of me but I am so glad that I did not give up. I hope I can continue to be a tough bitch. lol.

okay bye.
I am currently so damn busy batch making instock for my booth in Doujinma.
So yea, I will post again whenever I feel like it.
