~xX~ 13-14 November ~Xx~
This was the event that I had been waiting for!
The Annual Anime Fest Asia!!!!
The Annual Anime Fest Asia!!!!
Never before was i so excited, because this was the first event I would be planning to do a real cosplay.
No black cloth over my face this time.
I wanted to try out the real thing!
If Sherms could pull it off so well, I should be able too!
And so we went!
I went as Barragan Luisenbarn from Bleach!
Ye Siang went as Ichigo's Hollow form 2.
Jeremy went as the Accelerator from To aru Kagaku no Railgun.
And Lord Jiiiaobin too ;D
And also not forgetting Melody, the maid with 2 thousand pictures.
And the rest of the dudes and dudettes o.o
Group pic here! XD
Truthfully, I had a really great time there except for a particular stalking incident.
Though I must say that although It is my memoriable AFA ever *cause of me cosplaying*,
It was also the worst ever held AFA ever. D;
On day one, there was very limited space to cosplay *We cosplayed on day 1*
and the lighting was like crap. >=(
The attractions like the maid cafe and the butler cafe were really over priced and there were so little stalls selling mechandise as compared to previous years.
AFA must really have gotten some huge budget cuts!
I'll bet it was due to the huge Anisong concert though!
They invited so many singers and even had such a beautifull "live" perfomance by Hatsune Miku!
T_T
I didn't watch it in person....
*SAD* T_T *SAD*
I saw a vid of it online and wished I had enough money to attend!
But alas, poor people usually draw the short end of the stick. D;
Oh well.....
Anyways, back on track!
Day one was fun because of the cosplayers and more importantly cause we were cosplaying!
And as for day 2....
It was time for me to cosplay as a photographer because Ys took sick leave at last moment and couldn't join me in round two of Cosplaying. *curses Ys*
Oh wellz, I got many many pics of the cosplayers, with some really nice ones and no fail ones ;D
I don't take fail pictures cause I scare my camera lens crack and it will die.
And it isn't even my camera to boot.
Therefore, Break = Utter GG for me
But jokes aside, yea I only took pictures of those whom I thought were really good!
Not because I'm biased *OK i give, maybe just a little =.=*, but cause my camera memory stick didn't have much space left.
Sucks to be poor D;
Speeding up a little, I can sum up to say that AFA though it is always fun *for me*, was a pretty small let down for me this year. I had expected more of it D;, especially after all that anticipation. But yeap, Whats done is done, I'm just glad I was there to experience the fun that they had to offer...
*NOT! MAID CAFE IS DAMN EX WTFOMGZPIKACHIUZBBQNINJATURTLE!*
But repating myself once again.
It was a really fun experience cause I managed to do an actual cosplay for the first time in my life!
I really hope to do more cosplays, hopefully group ones with the rest of the dudes and maybe even do a small skit in hopes of entering the competitions that take place during these events!
That really sounds like fun! @.@
Okies, Part 2 of this blog post will be dedicated to the long amount of time I spent on my cosplay!
It didnt really take that long.... about 3 weeks odd?
But since I did plan for it for a really long time.
And thus things just happened to fall into place easier.
I Want to specially thank My mum here for her help and guidance,
For without her, I would probably have fucked up pretty bad with my outfit.
*She is good with sewing!*
I hope to learn more about sewing so that I won't need to trouble her so much in the future!
*We were like arguing about whos idea was better all the way into the late of night =.=*

Planning "Began" 1 year ago, supposedly. LoL!
The began is in inverted commas because we- As in Ys and Me, were actually supposed to have cosplayed as our respective characters during the Cosfest, which was supposed to happen like during the June holidays? =P Master of the proffession - Procrastination we are. I am the Procrastinator! Here I go! Arriving at the scene of the crime 1 day late and solving it when it has already been solved. That's my job, to save you another day. ;D
Hmmmz, lets get back to the costume!
lets see why I haven't been posting regularly *more excuses XD*
the weapon took me about a week to complete because of the paint job!
It's a really cool weapon that I've made.
It is my second weapon made so far and its pretty damn heavy.
But all the same, I'm proud of it! XD
My belt took me 3 hours to braid and 2 days to paint.
My headpiece.... that piece of shit...
I made 3 headpieces and took the best out of the three....
Lolol this took me about a month...
cause I slacked and stuff lols
and its probably the last time I'm going to try to use flour and water to stick anything together....
The shirt took about 2 days and the jacket took 2 too.
It probably would have taken longer but I had my mum to sew some of it while I did my other pieces and when she slept I would continue the work!
The slippers were slip-shot and I didnt really care much of it since I wore a freaking skirt. =.=
The arm gaurds and the belt buckle took about a day too, cause I needed to design them and get the right shapes. The most frustrating part of the costume I believe was the arm gaurds...
The size was fucked and no matter what I tried, It would stick together.
From velcro to glue to contact cement to hopes and wishes.
I finally gave up and decided to scotch tape the damn thing to my arm.
Worked like a charm.
And the skirt....
Freaking girly thing that would definately look gay if it wasn't for the rest of my outfit...
Gayest shit ever...
Oh wellz, that was more or less it. I planned for like half a year and rushed to do it in one month.
Skill to the max! XD
Right now, I'm also dreading and looking forward to the december period!
Cause Eoy is coming!!!
DANCEROID IS COMING TO SG!!!
OTL OTL OTL
Ima go buy the tickets and watch their performance!!!!
Especially Aikawa Kozue! *Heartz*
But as much as I look forward to EOY cause of the cosplay and Events.
The day after that is Exam week...
Which is going to suck ballz....
D;
Sadded.
Oh wellz, I better get my ass over and start studying now!
So I wont rush last minute *yeah...right...*
XD
Okies, last thingy, This is regarding the Yugioh Tag Team tourny that just passed.
I want to thank my team mates and my friends who supported the team and helped us!
It was challenging and fun *to some extent I guess*,
and it goes to show that although we have some kinda standard,
It is not that good yet.
We have a long road ahead of us but we shall not give up!
I will be better the next time we fight!
Ganbatte to myself and the rest! XD
This is Daniel here,
Signing off!
Ciiiaozzz!
