My blog stats greatly increased on the night of 26th June... kufufufu~ i'm happy you all find my blog is worth stalking *bows* Now let's reverse the timeline!!!
#also to note.... i didn't take any pictures at all for this trip!! All pictures are 'kidnapped' from my FB. Plz do inform me if u want to be credited here, coz i forgot which pic belongs to who.
23rd June (Thurs) - From Kuala Lumpur to Johor to Singapore
i was still rushing for my final projects!! Really really struggling.... to the point that Yuan (especially!! thank you luv!!) and Narukids had to help do some of my assignments. Also our babysitter Amos kept calling us asking when we could come. i could not guarantee!! i HAD to finish up my assignment before going to Singapore, or i'll fail the semester!
Which i did. *phew*
One of the assignments i had to die over.... one side of board is genbu n suzaku, the other side is seiryuu n byakko. /GG
I submitted at 7pm. Then rush back home to pack.... no scratch that.... DUMP EVERYTHING LIKE A MADMAN inside bags and plastic-bags within half hour, and start our Fast-n-Furious 5 hours driving to Johor Bharu (border of Singapore). Yuan catched some ZZZs while Kids helped me keep me awake with that special magic of hers. And we reached Johor Bharu at around midnight.
Dennis+Amos took us to a place where i could leave my car, and get a taxi to cross to Singapore to our 'Top Secret' apartment. And then we found out we cannot bring Narukids along with us. HOW CAN THIS BE?? MY SOUL SISTER NOT COMING WITH ME?? BLASPHEMY!!! I was really REALLY sad and angry n worried because Kids has always ALWAYS been there throughout our journey... our team is not complete without her!!! But.... Dennis was kind enough to let Kids stay with him for the night, and let Kids go Singapore the day after and search for a suitable accomodation there. Thank you so much Dennis+Amos!! TT__TT
Also, our stuff was too much for 1 taxi to carry (note: bad half hour packing skills) so we left some stuff in my car, so that Kids will bring together with her the next day. EVER FAITHFUL SAIKING *raburabu u*.
We reach the 'top secret' apartment (which is quite awsm... room space enough to fit 15 ppl but ....), explored in a bit, 'welcomed' other Malaysians that arrived, helping out carry each other's epic luggage, the slept at maybe 3am. Oh before sleeping we half-way worked on our 'big black d*ck' and trolled everyone with it.
24th June (Fri) - Rehearsal DayWe woke up at 8am to a quite disappointing breakfast (i need potatos to function!!), and then go through checking our costumes. I admitted than between Round A from b4 till Round B now, we didn't even touch our costumes!! We were so busy with studies n life, that we didn't have time to properly fix them. We only managed to upgrade our Data Drain, with Yuan changing the colour and Takemaru installing the LED.
Narukids managed to get a place to stay at the Hive Backpackers (thank god!!)... which she went, after sending our props to us at the venue hall. i'm sorry Kids for all the trouble!!
All of us dump our large stage props in a lorry at 10am, then left in vans for the event venue at 11am. It took us about 40 minutes drive to reach there (so far!!).
The day passed on real slowly. All teams from WCS malaysia (5 teams), WCS Singapore (3 teams?) and ACM (5 teams, Korea, M'sia, Sg, Thailand, Phillipines) took turns using the stage to have a (only) 1 go-through their skit. While waiting for turns, we worked on our unfinished props/costume.
Me n Yuan worked on our 'big black d*ck'... which beautifully transformed into a 'Light Blinking Yellow Dragon' (actually it's another form of AIDA virus, but oh well). Then we made friends with the Koreans (who hardly speaks english so... body language FTW!! *molest their bigass muscles*) and the Phillipines (now THEY speak English!! And so fun n crazy to hang with!).
Yuan worshiping our QUEEN Zoey. Let's all worship our Queen~!!!
We had lunch at fish n Co. (MY POTATOES AAH MUCH LOVE).... later at night, dinner at the apt's pool area. SCC sponsored us some barbeque feast!! And the biggest Otak-Otak ever!!! So we eat, swim, eat, tackle half naked Koreans, swim, stare at huge Thailand cosplayers, eat, swim, eat until we're too exhausted and went off to sleep.
25th June (Fri) - ACM-Solo Round @ CosfestWe stayed at the 'girls only' apt room consisting of Zoey + Mile (ACM M'sia representatives + WCS rep) and Rice + Dolly (WCS rep only, same as us). So that morning we saw Zoey n Mile looking all pretty getting ready for their cosplay for competition. The rest of us cosplayed as well, but something much simpler since we're not competing. Me n Yuan cosplayed as the duo rabbit USAVICH-Kirenenko & Putin
On the way to the event hall, in our Van.
Yuan, Sky, Cappy, and Narukids.... from our Team SS (Syiok Sendiri)... we're so bright n colourful! LOVE U GAIS LOTS!!
We reached the Cosfest venue at Pasir Ris, Singapore, at nearly 12noon. The event started off with Karaoke competition for 30 contestant. We saved our (double) ears by going to the hall right beside it where Comicfest was held. So many talented artist with awsm merchandise! although 80% of them are Touhou related. I don't get Touhou (not yet anyway... i promised ppl i will cosplay Touhouvania for AFA-team.... ). I didn't manage to change money to Sg currency, so Yuan paid for my Lelouch glasscase n KuroMokona while she bought this tiny Haro (#note: Yuan is crazy about anything ROUND, so do keep that in mind if you want to give her presents). We also stalked some cosplayers friends.
Kong from Korea. How can u not love that blood drenched abs? i figure he's traumatized by us who kept molesting his arms hahahahah~ we love ur abs, Kong! Stay Sexy! Ganbatte for next year's WCS!!
Thailand cosplayer's awsm LED-covered costume!!
Yuan is obsessed with this mascot. See what i mean about 'round things'??!
Schedule were dragged on till ACM (Asia Cosplay Meet) competition starts at around 5pm. Everybody especially contestants were exhausted by then, it's obvious. So each contestants in each team (3 ppl X 5 teams) performed a 3 minute skit for their solo round. Malaysia's representatives for ACM were Zoey, Weiqi and Mile~
You can view Zoey's performance HERE.You can view Weiqi's performance HERE.You can view Mile's (super cute Miku) performance HERE.You can view other countries' performance at the SCC youtube site HERE.it's nightime when we went back o our apartment. The boys cooked us some food in addition to the packed nasi goreng our organiser gave us. That night were spent on making/fixing last minute costumes and looping our skit-recording till we fell asleep.
