AFA 2011 experience and whatnot.

 (Procrastinated post orz. Less pics as we were all too tired.)

YES! This is my first time going to AFA! Also, my first time going to an overseas event! 8D *happy maxx*

So i ONLY started packing on Thursday (10/11) when my flight is at Friday (11/11) morning. LOL lazee girl ish lazee orz. And when i was packing up my cosplay costumes, mom told me that maybe our baggage might be overloaded, so she asked me to bring only ONE costume set. She even asked me to pick out the lightest one.  I was like 'NOOOOOOO! I need to debut both of them!' In the end, i chose to bring my Mayushii set as it was the lightest and easiest. Come to think of it, if i did brought my Mayoi set it would be super troublesome cuz of the giant bag...

Arrived at KLIA, then we searched around for the Tiger Airways counter but could not find it. Mom as usual, panicked like mad. After asking around, found out that TA is supposed to be at LCCT instead.

FOL.

Sis and i bought some Burger King to eat as we were almost dying from running around. Took a cab to LCCT and finally checked in oTL.

Flight from Malaysia to Singapore is only about 1 hour plus. So i slept thru the flight~ 8D

Arrived at Singapore at around 9am. Took a cab to Park Royal Hotel at Beach Road. Le hotel was super nice okay! Our rooms were damn comfy too!

Didn't attend the first day of AFA cuz we were too blardy tired. So we slept till 1pm. And went out to grab something to eat.

ANNNNNNNND then Saturday arrived. Woke up early to eat Sg's most famous Chicken Rice at somewherewhichiforgot. Was almost late to meet up with le partner in crime Seki cuz of me spending 1 hour putting on make up lol.

Arrived at the event and it was super packed OMG! Had to squeeeeeeeeezr thru the crowd of peepol and finally arrive at a toilet to change into my costume and wear my wig. And that was when i decided to put on my entire costume and make up in the hotel tomorrow.

Bloody hell look at the amount of peepol who turned up! I heard there were a hell lot of peepol from overseas who turned up. *Like me*

So sis, Seki, her mom and dad lol and i were roaming around the event and took pics of lots of awesome cosplayers. I too, posed for some peepol and photogs too. But tbh, most of the peepol who took a picture of me were from Thailand and all. I can differentiate their accent OKAY lol. So now i see how Mayushii has infected peepol. Also, i managed to take a pic with a Kurisu and Daru cosplayer! Sooooo happy but realized i didn't use my cam to take a pic with them too. *le sad, le emo at a corner*

And the thing is, i got lots of peepol who idk going up to me saying 'Tutturu!' and some even come up requesting for a hug. O_O There was one girl who hugged me and said 'Awww! You're such a cute Mayushii! I saw some other Mayushii cosplayers but i think you're the cutest and look almost like her!' Of course i was super touched lah! She even asked for a coscard from me and le sadly i told her i was a beginner cosplayer and didn't have one yet, YET. Sorry dear! :(

And for almost the rest of the day we roamed around, walking upstairs, downstairs snapping pic of cosplayers. While we were coming up an escalator, a guy looked and waved at me. He came over and told me he was cosplaying as Ruka but changed back his clothes and invited me to join his Steins; Gate group tmr! :O Super excited and we exchanged our email adds.His name is Kang Yu btw.

Walking and walking... And yet ANOTHER guy came up to me, but his costume looked familiar. LE GASP. He was cosplaying as OKARIN! :O so we snapped some pics together and he invited me to take more pics by his friend who was a really experienced photog. So we met up with the photog and posed for him. We had small talks among each other but i had to go back. So the photog passed me his name card and i was like OAO.

He is Hexlord OMG! I'm a fan of his work! Have been sorta stalking his works for quite sometime and i accidentally blurted that part to him too lol.

So that was how i ended my day in AFA, day 2.

Day 3 was pretty much the same except that Seki will be in her Setsugetsuka Len costume! Looking awesome with her epic costume! Also, both of us are super excited as there will be a photo taking session with renowned cosplayer KANAME! And we wanted to catch the Regional Cosplay Championship (RCC) live!

While we were about to line up to catch Kaname, i bumped into yet another Kurisu and Okarin! And the best thing was, they're Malaysians too! I automatically recognized the them as Chiko and Ranmaru! And she even invited me to their Steins; Gate photoshoot next year during early Jan! Whooooo super excited! And Hadi passed me their awesome Touhou group coscard! :D

So Seki, my sis and i were chiong-ing to get a pic with Kaname, we were like frantically waving our hands, jumping up and down (okay, maybe it's just me) and screaming 'KANAMEEEE KANAMEEEEE!' But in the end, we failed to get a pic WITH him orz but we managed to spam lots of pic OF him. *foreveralone.jpg*

FUUUUU i freaking swear he was looking at me in this pic! Cuz i think i was screaming his name the loudest  lololol!

Zoooooooomed max so i can get a pic of his feiz. 8D

After that, more roaming around and then we managed to catch RCC. We made a pretty stupid decision to stand as close to the stage as possible and ended up having sore legs. So when Team Philippines was up (they were the last performance), we went to the back where everyone was sitting and sat down and watch and  that was when we thought that we were super dumb for not sitting at the back at first.

Team Malaysia's performance was REAL GOOD STUFF! Srsly! Not that i'm being biased or anything, but Venus and Antony's performance was damn amazing! Plus points to the scene where Venus spat blood while being 'stabbed' by Anthony! :D And Anthony aka Blur happen to be one of the photogs i stalk too. :P

The other teams' performance was pretty good too. But most of them had over sized weapons and armors, fighting on stage with all the swords having the 'ching' 'ching' 'ching' sound. So yeah, got bored. I mean most of them were fighting with their epic weapons while saying some heroic quotes lol. They're all the same imo. And you might think that this paragraph sounds really biased, well fuck off. :) This is my blog and i can say what i want. :)

So that pretty much ended my day 3 of AFA. Was really exhausted, sore and tired all over. Took a hot shower and went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night starving. :/ Luckily mom da bao-ed some food for me. <3

Conclusion time! AFA is really one helluva event! With many peepol from literally all around the world attending, AFA really deserves the title of 'world class ACG event'. All hail Singapore! 8D

OHH OHH! Here is a pic of me as Mayushii and le Okarin Wil-Son, pic credits goes to Hexlord. 8D

So nao we are all awaiting for CF! :D
