Photography, it's like Einstein's Teory of Relativity. People seems to freeze at 1/1000 second.

Film: Fujichrome Sensia II ASA 100 (expired 2001)
Exposure: 400 ASA film setting
Make: Lomo Kompakt Automat +

The result generally looks very grainy.

I found this in wikipedia. The basic steps for developing color transparency films using process E6 are as follows:

First developer bath
6:00 @ 100 °F/38 °C. This uses a potassium hydroquinone monosulfate - phenidone black & white film developer, with the preferred form of phenidone being 4-hydroxymethyl-4-methyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (13047-13-7). The first developer forms only a negative silver image in each layer of the film: No dye images are yet formed. The first developer is one of the most time and temperature critical steps in Process E-6, because it controls contrast.
Note: Since i dont have any potassium hydroquinone monosulfate, i'm going to change it into potassium chloride.

First wash
Water stop bath, 2:00 @ 100 °F/38 °C. Originally this step used an acetic acid stop bath, but was replaced with a water-only bath for process economy, with concomitant slight adjustment downwards of first dev strength.
Note: Lime juice?

Reversal bath
Fogging bath, 2:00 @ 96-103 °F/36-39 °C. This bath prepares the film for the color developer step. In this bath, a chemical reversal agent is absorbed into the emulsion, with the chemical reaction instantly taking place. The reversal process can also be carried out using 800 footcandle-seconds (8.6 klx·s) of light, which is used by process engineers to troubleshoot reversal bath chemistry problems such as contamination, as well as issues of low tank turnover as process volumes decline.
Note: I dont really understand what this reversal bath is. so lets just skip this..

Color developer bath
6:00 @ 96-103 °F/36-39 °C. Process-to-completion step, which contains CD-3 developing agent as the main constituent. When film enters the color developer, the bath acts on the chemically exposed silver halide to form a positive silver image.. bla.. bla.. bla..

Ok enough! i'm going to apply only 2 steps (out of 12) to my C-41 film and i'll let the pakcik kedai gambar do the rest. Wish me luck!

Fake grain (HSV noise)
Fake light leak + chemical spillage (identical with red colored defect on the photo)
Fake pinhole camera effect
Fake depth of field
Fake over-saturation
..

I will not stop making fake lomography until i got my own lomo camera for real!
