Attending : Doll's Meadow 人偶牧場 2022

 

Oh yay, finally it's happening! Doll's Meadow Malaysia return this year after last year cancelation due to Covid restriction. The venue has changed but I'm glad the host persistence to get this event going.

A little introduction, Doll's Meadow Malaysia is a doll related sales convention which is similar to DollFest Malaysia & MYDoll Tea Party previously. This event is 3rd party seller friendly and sellers are able to resell their preloved merchandise. Local talent & product are encouraged. This is awesome because sellers / agents are able to cater the doll necessities like face-protector , head cap etc, the small stuffs that usually demanded by collectors. This year event is located at Zi Place, Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. The entrance fee for visitors was RM5/pax.

Attending : MYDoll Doll Gathering Party 2022

Hey-hey, it's been awhile I wrote about event cover. This time is a special one because I worked closely with the organizer.

When is the last time we have a large scale non-profit kind of meet up? Exactly. If  I recalled correctly, the non bias doll gathering hosted by group admin was held back at 2014. A non bias gathering is when everyone is allowed to come regardless the background issue as long they abide the rules.

Let's be honest our local doll collector scene is divided to few groupies that have their own reasons. This results the hobby from external looks slowly insignificant (if you compared to the other SEA countries' culture). I'm myself was passively losing interest, it doesn't feel the same as I've used to.

While my dolls & accessories were left untouched, collecting dust & slowly deteriorate due to weather. I even had new doll arrived  & stayed unbox for a year, yeah that bad. However, I organized & joined few small meet ups & thought, "Hey, I really miss this.".

I know the main reason for the inactivity is people are struggling with the pandemic, I was at a point succumbed to the virus but thank God I recovered! The public social places are opening again with strict rule to follow. The small meet up usually hold at café but sadly this place only permit you to stay 3-4 hours maximum.

My friend, Wahidah & I were tired of this short hours get-together so we decided to bring back the best way to get together is renting a space for us, like the old school.

Thus, MyDoll Doll Gathering Party was arranged!

Attending : Animangaki 2017

It's August of the year 2017 and Animangaki is back ! The location is same, Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre but it's earlier on date. The theme this year is Magic & Elements. They said upon entrance, you will be sort to each house elements , fire, grass or wind; however I never really pay attention on in house event and just go wherever I want.

This year, I could attend only on Day 2 due to other commitment and the ticket price has increased to RM30 / day. So, it's a wise decision to go for one day; when I didn't looking forward to the whole
event program. I've noticed the reduction of people attended because it wasn't so pack compared to previous year. Hmm, maybe it's just me or it's people rather crowd on Day 1.

Attending : Dollfest Malaysia 2017

It's been awhile and quite late I would say. Hereby is my summary on recent local doll-related event in Malaysia, the annual Dollfest Malaysia.

The details as below :

Dollfest Malaysia 2017 event page

So, from last year event, the venue has changed to RUANG, Subang, Selangor and the ticket has increased to RM10. Although the theme is Alice in something Wonderland, I didn't really pay attention on it. The event venue is ok , the lighting definitely better even it's smaller.

What different from previous year's I attended, this time I opened selling booth together with my friend under our doll shop name, DollCollé - Doll & Apparel.

Attending : Comic Fiesta 2016

Year 2016 almost come to end and of course the annual ACG event is happening ! The venue is changed again and they decided to it in Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC). (ʘᗩʘ’) I'm not familiar with that building but I've been there once and it isn't big. Would it fit Comic Fiesta (CF) attendees?

I only went on 1 day , 18 Dec, since the ticket price increased. It's RM25/day now. Since PWTC is accessible by Komuter train (KTM), husband, lil' bro and I ride that public transport and we needed to walk around 5 meters to reach the building.

I had early ticket (bought from a friend) and the rest two have to purchase at the counter itself. As I known, the walking patch for the early bird ticket holder and none were different.

Brace ourselves, LONG DISTANCE WALKING. I have to take off my heels because my feet couldn't stand anymore, plus the pathways were hilly. I made the right choice to carry along sandals together. The weather wasn't helpful neither. It was hot and humid. I was on full makeup and sweating profusely. I didn't bring any handkerchief but just 2 small packets of face tissues.

Welcome to another exciting presentation of stuff  I bought for my collection ! ( especially for my dollies hehe..) Last early October, I went to Bangkok, Thailand for the doll convention. This is my first oversea convention and I was so excited.

Thailand has been amazing. I traveled with 7 friends, including my husband. We went for 3 days 2 night. (8 - 10 October 2016)
(I know it's quick >.< , I should take longer holidays ) I love Thailand food, the spice level is perfect. The street snacks really satisfy my taste buds. Did I mention, the food there are cheap ? The boundaries we had was distance to travel, that's why we stock our food supply from 7-11 store for breakfast and late snack. However, compare to the price in Malaysia, 7-11 is not really convenient for us because the price is slight expensive from retailers.

I did a vlog for the  my walk through the event, so if you would like to see how's the event look like, play the video :

After roamed the hall for like 3 hours plus, the bag of regret has been brought back.

Shall we see what's inside?

Dollmeet : Mini Dollmeet@Perfume Dance Cafe

It's been awhile I didn't write about doll meet. In fact, this is not the first this year, there were previous events but I didn't take good picture of it, so there's no sharing from my side. ( >_< ;)

As far I could remember the previous doll meets after Dollfest 2016 were Macaron Doll Tea Party ' & ' Dollfie Raya Gathering '.

The doll meet was hosted by Roselyn & Shinya at interesting place, Perfume Dance Cafe. It's located on the first floor of IOI Mall, Putrajaya. This cafe is from Taiwan and popular with their dessert. The cafe theme is "Romance of European" with lovely classic music background, I feel humble to come in the cafe with casual clothe.

Overall cafe looks, fancy right? *credits photo to placesandfoods.com

Attending : Animangaki 2016

The annual must-go ACG event has return. On 2016, it was held on 27th & 28th August 2016 , same venue , Sunway Pyramid Conventional Centre.

However, I'm going to write only the coverage of Dollfie Dream Malaysia display booth on the event itself. That's the main reason I went by the day.

Attending : Dollfest Malaysia 2016

Hello everyone !

I hope everything goes well. I'm here to share my experience on attending the Dollfest Malaysia 2016 hosted by Malaysian doll owners.

Facebook : dollfest.malaysia

The event details as below :

Even title        :    Dollfest Malaysia 2016

I got busy with commission and preparation stuff for Comic Fiesta 2015. This year the event was held in new hall, Mines Convention Centre Kuala Lumpur, after 3 years in KLCC.

I had experience for opening booth in Comic Fiesta, it was in 2011 and 2012 with group of artist friends. However, this year I solely opened alone of my product with a friend together wished to display our dolls.

Oh,  it was my first time that I submit my artwork to Comic Fiesta 100 Days countdown and I was on Day 58 :)

Recent Dollmeets Wrap [BJD Asia & Myu's Birthday Party]

 I realized I got lazy to share some pictures from my recent dollmeets. Well for this month, I have two, which are BJD Asia : Booo~!!!! It's Halloween Doll Gathering & Myu's Birthday Party (Dollfie Dream dolls).
It was tiring for us, collectors, in terms of preparing to dress our dolls for the gathering. Lack of sleep and good rest. Everything for the sake of doll meetings. Ohohohoho!

Let's start according to the timeline.

*Post filled with images inside*

BJD-Asia : Manic March Doll Meet

Host : Melissa Ho from facebook group, BJD-Asia
Date : 22 March 2014, Saturday
Location : Brew & Bread Cafe, One City Mall, Subang USJ, Malaysia.
Time : Starting 12pm

What a busy weekend ! However, it was interesting since I got to bring my doll meets a lot of friends on last Saturday. This is my second doll meet, by the way. Previously, it was held on studio. This time, we gathered in cafe located in newly open mall.

The amount of us were less than 20, so we shifted to upstairs space to hang out. There were estimate 42 dolls attended. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Chiyo was wearing this bunny pink winter furry coat. It's her favorite dress and she carried her bunny plushie too as she was nervous meeting new people. Oh, did you notice she has blue eyes now? The colour reflects nicely. They were from Mako Eyes . I suppose to do short review on this.
