Been rather busy the past 2 days...all i can say about it is that, i survived afa09. Yay!
Went to suntec on saturday and sunday for the yearly anime convention..again. This time didnt seem to be as great as the last time though. Oh well, still had lotsa fun. By fun i mean standing and walking around the convention centre looking at mini models of anime characters (gundams inclusive), walking into shops and not buying anything, walking into shops and buying something, and just more random walking. Went on saturday with keokfei and oscar, and sunday with just keokfei (cause there was no one else to go with...its lonely going there by yourself).
Bought tickets at 11am on saturday (initially pre-booked though, but no time to collect), though my sis was supposed to help me get one =.= but obviously she didnt. Queued for like 40mins? Before finally getting one. Walked in, looked around, took pictures with adrians camera (borrowed of course, not begged or stolen). Probably got like 20+ or 30 shots in before going to meet oscar. When he got his tickets, queued somemore at the KKnM stall again, thanks to keokfei for queuing up earlier so it was sorta faster. Looked around the stall, this time not really as nice las the last time, selection not as wide.
Walked somemore. Walked even more. Took pictures. Walked. Took more pictures. Walked. Stood somewhere watching this guy demo a really nice drawing using photoshop for awhile. Walked. (Yes...alot of walking. Explains why my feet hurt after the 5 and a half hours i was there, each day of course). Oh yes...adrian didnt come cause he had councillor. Sad.
There was this karaoke booth with japanese songs, with lotsa crazy people singing. There was this group of guys acting really high and keep singing a really upbeat song with "conviction". Then saw...jake, the one from 4ep last year. The very same one. And...he was singing... Yes singing. *ahem* well...it wasnt...that...great, but definitely better than some others. There was this person though, sang really well. Lotsa people gave an ovation after that, cool. But that was for one song...then came the piercing screech of nails on a blackboard. *sigh* back to wandering the streets of the convention hall. There is not a one in a million chance that i will try to sing, not there not ever. At least not in public.
Oh yeah...oscar bought, three pillows. Wow. They each cost almost $30... The covers on the pillows were cute, yes, but its just too expensivie for me. Wouldve bought if i could afford it though, the allen walker one looked sooo nice. まぁいいか
Wandered around once again, bought a really cool looking D Gray notebook (of which i will never bear to use) and a fate/stay night card booster pack (for barry-suanning purposes. Oh did i mention that i have an archer card? and a saber card). The K-On seiyu (the people who voice the characters of the anime K-On) came to give a live recording for the anime. Really interesting. Their normal voices already sound like the anime characters, as in even without trying. Sooooo interesting. Wanted to take a picture but the guards wouldnt let me. Dammit.
Sadly (not really la), had to go meet derrick and huiqi at toa payoh at 5pm to get ready clarissa's bday surprise (on both days). So left the convention centre, took a mrt there (got to sit down), went to giant to buy ingredients for the dinner and cheesecake we were making on sunday. Walked around, bought more stuff, ate dinner, walked around, met with adrian, went to huiqis house, made cheesecake, marinated prawns, made a mini-movie (funny of course), then went home. That was saturday. On sunday, went to huiqis house, alone, cause derrick forgot to bring the edited movie, got ready ingredients for the making of the dinner, derrick came, started cooking (head-chef derrick, assistant chef me). Menu was: Mushroom sauce/soup (portabello), fried rice (my specialty =D of course as usual i just threw in random leftover junk), mushroom omelette, boiled cabbages and baked butter n garlic prawns.
Took a long time to prepare. Luckily clarissa came up slightly late, if not cannot finish in time. Surprised her, ate dinner. All i can say is that...it was good. Especially the mushroom sauce (and now i know how to make it). Played around, did random stuff, then went home. Yup...thats about it. Now just gotta sleep to make sure i wake up for tomorrow's 30min school day. =.= retarded. The bus ride there already 2 times longer than the time that i will stay in school.
really dont wanna go to school tomorrow...but still have to
brendon...
