And babes at the Anime Festival Asia 2008, Singapore on 23 Nov 2008 
Anyway I’ll split this separately into one cosplay and one goods post.
I went to the second day of afa08 on Sunday for the cosplay contest and arrived in the afternoon, avoiding crazy, long, morning registration queues that were expected at such events.
My friend who also attended the first day to snap up Bandai’s overseas event-only limited goods told me that the queues were significantly longer on the first day. People were queuing from as early as 8~9am although the doors only open at 10am.
So anyway, since this post is about cosplay, let’s go on to the rest!
Such events always have the staple of Naruto and Bleach cosplayers but I only took pics of what I really liked keke… There were a couple of rather good cosplayers that I missed out but these are the rest of the best that I spotted and snapped. Lovely Final Fantasy Advent Children Yazoo and Kadaj cosplayers. Awesome costumes and weapons.
I saw a Lelouch and a sweet lolita cosplayer who were handing out pamphlets for the cosplay event. Hmm… looking at the photo now, I just realised that Lulu’s sleeve was a bit too short? ^^” He didn’t wear a white long-sleeved shirt that Lulu wears under the uniform. The white cuffs usually show when his sleeves are up. Oops. However, it was a really hot day, so yeah… must have been the reason.
Snapped photos of Vocaloid, Gintama, Rozen Maiden and Gundam 00 cosplayers. I wanted to take a shot of the Gundam 00 cosplayers with the cute orange Haru one of them was carrying but I didn’t notice he was obscured in this pose x_x gaah… I think I still have a long way to go capturing better photos at such live events. Anyway, the Rozen Maiden cosplayer was really impressive. Very well-made costume! Gintama’s Okita *squeee* and Kagura (very cute) cosplayers were a superb match too! If only somebody cosplayed Gintama’s Elizabeth/Sadaharu. That’ll be perfect xD
And finally… the cutest Vocaloid Ren Kagamine EVER! xD Girls still make the cutest bishi cosplayers. xD And alternate Boy-Miku (no long ponytails) with an attitude ^^ These vocaloid cosplayers look great!
Coming soon in the next post about Goods/Merchandise at the event ^^

Event: Anime Festival Asia 2008 (22nd – 23rd November)
Our future cosplay-plan will be lot more expensive than the previous one.
Im going to ask m friend for tailor..and try to do some D.I.Y if not the budget will go skyrocketing.
hehehe you’re preparing to dress to impress? XD We should do something we can re-use at other cosplay/anime conventions
definitely to impress with a realistic budget.
dont let cosplay plan interfere with figure-collecting hobby. XD
Hopefully by that time the exchange rate is better in our favour XD
it is better but not yet stable or going back to normal
but i gotta limit myself in anticipation for 2009, juz because the exchange rate goes better doesn’t mean the world economic crisis is over.
Mmm… indeed. I’m hoping to save some money starting 2009 for trips and backup purposes but my laptop has been acting up since Monday. It literally powered-off just like that in the middle of operation. Seems like the fan is dead or something and it overheated, so the power-off is to stop itself from being damaged. I’m now working on it with the aircon on and a big home fan blowing at its bottom at full blast. I’m wearing knitted gloves! Lol~ super cold hands
Sheesh. I have to buy a new machine to replace it now.
Just when I thought I could have some savings
Anyway, hope the Shaw pictures were useful/in time for the mag ^^
Definitely useful. thanks a lot^^
Tht SAMSUNG laptop you mean?
It’s related to your job so yeah you got no choice but to replace it.
the big fan surely disturb your concentration…
I’m glad! Can’t wait to see the next issue of Kouhaku! xD
Actually the fan is ok but the fear that it will suddenly power down while I’m in the middle of working on a big big photoshop file or design is really distracting and unsettling x_x I bought a DIY desktop this afternoon. The IT guy at the shop assembled it for me ^^ Gaaah… I’m 1k bucks poorer now *cries thinking about all the DVD/CD/figures/goods/air ticket I could’ve bought* but I have to say it was a good deal tho’
I just came back from a Christmas dinner gathering with some friends. I think I’m probably going to spend the whole of tonight installing all my programs, etc… when everything is setup properly on the new computer, I’ll send my samsung baby for repairs.
