stgcc (part II)

tee hee...

i'm back again to close up my review...

just took a break earlier coz staring at the com made my eyes tired...

ok... on with the cosplay competition.

there were 8 paticipants and 6 judges.
8: 2 frm Phillipines, 2 Malaysians, 1 Indonesian and 3 Singaporeans
(i might be wrong here.. can't remember)
6: 2 Japan, 1 America, 1 Phillipines, 2 Singapore


first was Kairei whose character was Babydoll from Sucker Punch

Cosplayer: Kairei
Character: Babydoll from Sucker Punch



the host and Kairei
the 2nd contestant
Cosplayer: Wei Qi
Character: Cybuster from Super Robot Wars
third contestant
Cosplayer: Nikki
Character: Dark Akantor from Monster Hunter
4th contestant
Cosplayer: Kawaimace
Character: Sara Pezzini from Witchblade
5th contestant
Cosplayer: Yuki
Character: Rocket from Sucker Punch
6th contestant
Cosplayer: Roy
Character: War Machine from Ironman 2
7th contestant
Cosplayer: Zoey
Character: Valsione from Super Robot Wars

8th contestant
Cosplayer: Zander Valentine
Character: Rathian Gunner from Monster Hunter

as you can see about half of them are mecha- kind of characters
and the costumes are so elaborate makes the judges have a hard time deciding.

The outcome was quite surprsing.
i didn't expect the final 2 to be locals.

Zander vs. Roy
in the end, Roy, the War Machine won.

oh well, i could guess so, since maybe this is STGCC... Western...
hmm... and first time i realised the characters are from online games and movies...

unlike AFA, the characters are completely from animes and their game counterparts...

kipi and jacky dosai  gave away special prizes to their favourite cosplay

kipi gave her special kipi prize to Nikki..
it was a Haruhi Suzumiya costume...
if you don't know what anime is that...
the exact costume that she is wearing here...
the banner!~
 right, i've come to the end of my re-cap on stgcc...

before i end, i have to talk about my haul!

not a big fish like other people i've seen.

they got toys, collectibles, swords, posters, shirts... etc.

lol...

ok i got... these

free postcards!
so i took these!!!

bought to-fu!!


my horoscope keychain!
 the second and last thing i got was this!

remember the hint?

furry neko mimi
have you guessed it? :)

cat ears head-band
cute right?

i saw guys wearing it too and thought they were cute! :D
so i got urge to buy...
cost me... $15
quite ex, but the quality is pretty good! they sewn the ears to the headband so it doesn't come off easily

i like the bell at the sides...
the tinkling sound...~ ting~ ting~
haha...
some people find it childish...
lol... but its still cute...

i bought it before we went to see the cosplay... i was wearing it during the whole time we were at Suntec.. :)
love the sakura pattern
and after we left Suntec,  the funny thing was we went around trying to find the food stalls...
kept going  back to the convention centre...
frustrated we went opposite to M.Sq to eat dinner...
i was still wearing my headband...
lol... many eyes were staring at my head.. >.<

haha... :D
but i didn't feel out of place then coz we were still in the mood ... some others were wearing it too...
i think, i saw my junior there at the event and when we were at Pizza Hut waiting for a table i thought i saw eyecandy there...

dunno for sure if i did but.. yeah... quite happy on Sunday!! :D

kays, shall end here then!

bye~
