The rule stated that only 5 teams out of 6 in the ACM competition will be eligible to enter the WCS Preliminary Round on Sunday. So fight in ACM we did.
We woke up at 8am for free breakfast, and then slooowly prepare for our competition (which started at 2pm). Ikki n Ezli helped us buy the helium balloons (our stage props) in Johor that morning.
Ikki our SaiKING still sleepy~
Helpers from KL, including Shawn, Blur n Venus who just arrived, helped us get into our (very tedious) costumes.... and of course our 'babysitter' keeping us up-to-date while at it.
Other contestants getting into their costumes as well.
Super Robot War's wings of absolute gar-ness!! *worships*
The judges that day!! The Japanese ambassador, Stephanie from Singapore Cosplay Club (omg i so totally love her dress!!!) and Gamehub organizer.
Our Team .Hack//GU comprises of :
Yuan as Haseo (the boss!!)
Sky as AIDA Atoli (the Zombie-toli)
and Kids as Atoli (the moe A-troll-e)
Ikki, Yuan, Kids, Venus.... it took 4 ppl to do this makeup! Yeah those are eyes drawn onto eyelids.

Team #2 was Megaman from Penang
Team #3 was .Hack//GU from KL
Team #4 was Bleach from Johor.
Team #5 was Black Rock Shooter from Johor
Team #6 was Super Robot World from Johor.
Extra info: our purple AIDA virus was lovingly named Virus Perasan (inside joke).
After the competition ended, we're basically fooling around while waiting for result announcement. Here are our resident photographers Weiss and Ezli, and their new fabulous hats!

ORGANISER DINNER, MEETING, WCS REHEARSAL
After result announcement, there was a Cosplay Parade around the mall.... but we didn't join in, mainly because my costume is heavily damaged. So we went to the hotel to freshen up. Nightime we had a sponsored Japanese dinner by the organiser. Ah~ expensive Unagi Bento~ haven't touched that ever since we need to save up for ACM-WCS costumes huhuhuuyeaaa~ thank u organiser!! After dinner, we had a small meeting with Stephanie from SCC. It's the first time i met her n she's really awsm!! Seems she has a lot of experience, very unbiased n fair, strict yet approachable. I hope she'll be judging again at Cosfest because she obviously treats every team EQUALLY. She was telling us on our weaknesses n how to improve ourselves, and also what to expect and expected of us for WCS next day and at Cosfest.
Afterward was WCS stage rehearsal time. By then it was around midnight. For us (sky + yuan = Team Amethyst), we had a go at our skit sound, estimating the space we can walk around on that TINY stage, before we called it a night.
We went back to the hotel, dump wigs n costumes to our helpers to do finishing touches (thank u sooo much gais!!) and just zzzzz from exhaustion. Next, onwards to Sunday for our WCS Round A competition!
