cosfest XII

in the end, i went for it.

though my first thoughts were that it was more for cosplayers than the non-cosplayers.

but at least i got to see how it is inside the venue


of course it's not fair to compare the venue to Suntec.. but D'Marquee can still hold quite a number so it's a good place.

didn't manage to get many photos... it was really crowded everywhere and have to avoid blocking people who were trying to take the cosplayers who were posing for pictures...


here's the few pictures i took.

scary or not

 

not horsing around

Megurine Luka
motorcycle

Shingeki no Kyojin

i think there will be more cosplayers at AFA doing SnK...

contestants for World Cosplay Summit

there was another 2 groups but i didn't get them in this picture.

this one is clear

the last two groups.. T.T
my sucky photography skills

the last two groups costumes were actually very nicely done!

and i think i like those swords and other weapons with LED lights...

its so awesome..

i'm wondering if i should actually continue taking photos during cosplay events or just remember it then just black and white it..

ah~ but i think pictures are actually better...

i must do something of my fear(?!) of taking photos of cosplayers...

i know its weird... 

i don't understand myself and my fears... >.>

i am W-E-I--R-D

oh well, i have another few months to practice...

if i have chance to practice...

i saw a girl cosplaying as Kyary in her PON PON PON mv...

and a guy carrying a yamapi uchiwa...

there are still quite a number of miku around and ciel (female) version.

ending my post

maybe one reason i like watching cosplay.

because she is just great in both her personas...

sweet dreams everyone~

AFA 2012 ~ part I ~

the post I've been anticipating to write about!!!!!!!!!!

still feeling hi-gh~ from yesterday's crazy outing!

it's really mad crazy with the throngs of people like waves crashing in and out of expo.

Σ（ﾟ∇ﾟ|||)げーんっ！

well, let's get this started!

must say first, whenever i wait for AFA (or stgcc) to arrive, the days seems still so far.
but when it finally comes it passes in an instant, a blink of an eye and it's gone!

photos are so important!!!
memories to treasure.

so, this year i went (as usually) with kimeki..
and we reached there pretty late!

about 12-ish almost to 1pm..

i have a slight feeling some of the nendoroids i took were similar to the previous years..
esp. Hatsune Miku ones.

oh well, anyways...

colourful posters outside the Maid Cafe

Moe Moe Kyun maid cafe

 we really thought of going into the cafes but since we had already eaten lunch before coming to expo we decided not to...

save my preciousssssss money.....

*hint hint
will reveal during the cosplay competition later...

[K] project

still abit sad that i missed out the show on Saturday..
really wished I could go.

Red kingdom and Neko

abit blurry...
haha..

signatures of Sea☆A

i actually saw them in the flesh!
i was walking pass them as they headed towards their booth which actually doubles up as a rest area at the back with hidden door.
i think they just finished their talk on the main stage and were returning to rest.
didn't have time to take any photo of them...

their drawings are cute!

actually there songs are quite nice too.
their song xxx was used for last year's AFA as the theme song.

i took this only for Ika Musume

 lol~

Hey~ sexy Lady~~

*hints hints
has something to do with the cosplay..

the float looks real!

i quite like the pictures i took but the lighting is terrible.
i'm not born to be a photographer....

Sword Art Online

 i spot a Katsura! haha...

only left with the exhibits which are not for sale

really thought i could take more pictures for my friend, yf.
so sorry yf!
S.A.O is really popular with the crowd.

guess, this is one of the minus points when you go to an Anime convention on its last day.
most of the things are sold out already.

if only it was...

the Amuse booth was selling Haruma Miura photobook and posters etc..
if only they asked him to come with Takeru!!
hahaha...

that would be awesome!!

so, the news is that Rorouni Kenshin will be out on 29 Nov 2012 in cinemas here~

hope i can catch it then!

it's back to the main part...

the end of another fun day!
had a good time yesterday!

had pleasant surprises too!
（＠゜o゜）σ＼（゜□゜*）／えﾞ━━━!!!!!!!!!!! 

let's start the re-cap~

■□■□■□■□■□★☆★☆★☆★■□■□■□■□■□★☆★☆★☆★■□■□■□■□■□

i met up with kimeki at Promenade station before at about 11am before heading to STGCC

we were l-ost for awhile... when we thought of MBS; we thought it was the blue buildings...

we were wrong!

well, long story short we found out where it was and bought our tickets.
we headed in and walked around but realized it was still very early.

bought some badges and  took photos of the exhibits around.

and i must say: I'm proud of myself for taking more cosplay pictures than i ever did in the previous years.
and i'm not talking about the cosplayers on stage...

will talk about my yi jian zhong qing in awhile later...

and something i must rant about~ the FOOD
meantime, pictures~

--------------------------------------------------------------------～☆・:.,;*

Disney

focus fail

Spongebob

fail focus

GUNDAM MOBILE SUIT

yes, it's a guy inside. and everyone was taking photos of it..
i saw him walking back to rest in the late afternoon time.
HUUUUUUGGGEEE!

PREDATOR FTW!

extras... the look of evil

"Hi! I won't bite!"

THE AVENGERS

makes all grown men act like boys...
and the girls only swoon at either Thor/Loki...

for the record, i've not seen THE AVENGERS...
so i can't say much....

Bat Mobile

i was more impressed with the turbo...
it was noisy for its size...
lol...

Captain America

Russians~

now, for some hot guys...
*insert sarcastic tone and open-mind

uncle serving long in the Soviet

tattoos...  and DAT ASS

General Sun Yat Sen

some hot model in construction clothes
MOHAWK

Mr Chow Yun Fat

Black Jack

ONE PIECE GANG

BADASS

CHIBI IRON MAN

BRO FIST

"Yeah!"

no hot guys, just hot wheels

old school transformers

--------------------------------------------------------------------～☆・:.,;*

alright so after we took the photos and finished walking the halls we decided to find food.
Rant
I'm glad we found alternatives instead of being extorted during lunch time.
I don't know but i think they strategically place the food court farrrrr from the convention halls.
literally walking a huge circle to the food court and finding out it's daylight robbery.
Example: $6+ for chicken rice

I have not enough money to waste on a plate of that which looks like something i could get for $2+ at my neighbourhood coffeeshop...

i'm a cheapo and i'm not blaming them for selling it at that price...
they have to pay rent and all that...
but the moral of the story don't put all the eggs in one basket!
and always keep your hopes up and eyes open!

i met my colleague from my workplace during my internship last time while we were walking to find the exit...
luckily we found 7-11 and got nasi lemak at $2.70 from there...
cheap and good!
--------------------------------------------------------------------～☆・:.,;*

ok, then on with some cosplay pictures...

blurry pic

pirate

she's so pretty upclose

nurse? 

Saber

cat

ciel and sebby

credits: kimeki
gintoki and Sougo

finally i got a pic of gintama characters!
there was a kagura on the cosplay catwalk too!

now this part will be about the "lonely guy"...
ok, actually not but anyway, when we first saw him we knew it was a character from Bleach.
but the name we weren't sure.

FYI it's this character

Ulquiorra

i can't even pronounce the name, but anyway.
yes, if you haven't notice i like emo guys.
haha...

actually it's just the makeup.
i'll put the video too.
every few minutes people will be taking his picture...


ah, and continuing with PIKO special showcase~
he was awesome~
he sang Sakurane, Make my Day, Story and some others i can't remember...
during the encore he sang Yumehana...

after his segment ended we went back to walk around the exhibitions and queued up for some free Nescafe.
while waiting i saw another friend of mine!
she also came to see PIKO!

i tasted the white coffee hot... it was ok- i'm not really a coffee person.

and about 4.15pm we went to sit at the main stage area because we were lazy to walk already and decided to chill there...

they were having the Hot Toys special segment, autograph session with Korean artists.
and the dj was playing Korean songs!
SuJu, 2NE1, GG songs...
and once they played Gangnam Style. haha...

i didn't take much pictures of the cosplay catwalk...
they dragged the timing and started at 5.40pm...
but i took some pictures...
Esther was also there on the cosplay catwalk.
i think i saw viospace but i'm not sure...

cool

Kousaka Yun

i took a video of Touya Hibiki...

she was so ikemen!

the guys standing next to me went like:"That's a guy. Definitely a guy."

lol... they were wrong.

we left at 6.30 and had dinner at Macs...


--------------------------------------------------------------------～☆・:.,;*

hope that they will be able to hold it at Suntec next year.
still not used to MBS and its too expensive.

for the remaining 4 months, i shall do my best~!

shall go read on AFAID re-caps now!
