Quite a hectic day... ^^; After the EVA 2.0 the nite before, I've only had a quad of hours sleep before waking up going doki doki and waku waku over today's AFA09 trip... :D

Took quite a few piccies throughout the day, therefore you can see the bulk of them besides the ones you see in this report... Due to my digital camera's weak ability, most of the piccies I've taken today are abandoned due to blurriness... Please excuse some of my under-exposed piccies as well... ^^;

Reaching the site at about an hour before the actual opening, already saw a lot of people camp at the entrance... Luckily comrade zh3us and others are amongst the earliest camper around, thus allowing me to join their ranks as the one close to the door... ^_~

Was approached by Singapore's TV Station MediaCorp for an interview... But I think I've screwed it up due to my inability to stay calm when giving my comments over this event... ^^;

Headed directly towards Cospa booth to grab a black Miracle Mirai 3-Nin Musume T-Shirt immediately after the gate opens... Then it's Danny's place for a glimpse of all the FigNendo goodness set up by GSC... :D

Bandai had the largest area for display at the site... More Gunpla temptations...

Had the honour to meet the trooper who can't seem to find his droids... Attend his talk on his love for cars and daughters as well... XD

> Img ID#31717 | New tab | Mouseover = load notes.

With any opportunities present, the DC group I'm attached to will scurry to had their Nendo and Figma photographed... ^^;

> Img ID#31711 | New tab | Mouseover = load notes.

Looks awfully familiar... ^^;

Met comrade Arayden's lovely daughters... :D They're HUGEEE!!!

> Img ID#31714 | New tab | Mouseover = load notes.

Cannot cover the cosplayers today due to me cam running out of juice fast... ^^; Did met an old, old comrade from a forum years ago tho... Such lovely lady she is now... ^_~ She kidnapped my Chibily!!! XD

> Img ID#31716 | New tab | Mouseover = load notes.

Attend the Regional Cosplay Competition as well... Singapore's 00-Emotion team won both the Innovated Costumes prize as well as the Grand Prize to Japan, eventho the Gundam they cosplays (00-Raiser...) had a major shoulder armour dislocation during performance... 0_0

Ended the nite by attending the concert at the ticket-free public viewing area after queuing up for a couple of hours, listening to the lovely singing voices of Shoko-tan, Hatsune Miku and finally Mecha Anisong legend Aniki~! I love his 80's style Anisongs!!! A little disappointed over Miku's part tho as they only had 3 of her music video shown...

The nice acquisitions of the day... Had exchanged some Meishi with other comrades, grabbed the TFS postcard from Danny's booth and the Cospa T I mentioned earlier... Due to a certain comrade's influence, I'm gonna grab a Nendo Riannon the first thing I reached the site for a second serving tomorrow... XD

Need enough rest to heal my aching heels for tomorrow's battle~! ^_^

    Whee!!! Glad to have finally met you! It's always nice to meet the man/woman behind the avatar. (^o^) Didn't know that you could attend the concerts for free, so I went home... (^.^;)

    Great loots, really hope to see you again tomorrow, though I won't be going early in the morning and will be arriving at about 11 plus.

    Had the wonderful pleasure of meeting you. Wow you managed to pick up a 501st legion card too!? I saw them down stairs in the mall near the fountain doing some crime prevention seminar. Man those guys seem real kick ass.
