[prepost] saturday - AFA08 Day 1

status: in singapore @ cousin william's home~ (will be leaving for AFA soon!)

as you have expected, this is the ever reliable blogger auto-publish. aint it way more trusty than having me post one by one? if i said it was going to publish today, it gets published today.


how to go to AFA08?
by public transport: ride along the MRT line to City Hall, walk underground the City Link Mall which ends up in the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre. four floors up, you arrive at the entrance of halls 403-404 which welcomes visitors to Anime Festival Asia.

the throng of people i expected to see are: cosplayers, arcade and console gamers, children and parents, Shonen Jump fans (Death Note!), STUDIO 4°C fans, kunio okawara and gundam fans, ichirou mizuki fans and "VIP fans" (those who have the not-yet-released VIP seats to his mini-concert later of the evening), and did i mention cosplayers? lets hope i have not forgotten anyone.

motr and i will be going to suntec together in a short while from this post. the hall opens at 10am, but you can purchase your pre-registered tickets starting 9am. but for me, i will be claiming my ticket at the cosplayer's counter as i have registered for the cosplayer entrance fee waive (free!) by 7nov.

i hope to see a lotta things and take loads of photos, or as many as my batteries will allow. (i have to save up for day 2 too!) oh, yes of course, my cosplay. i was hoping to group up with the singapore team (with deidara and stardust) but apparently the singapore members have taken up other characters for AFA08. well, i'll drop a couple hints on my character:

1. same character for CF08 day 1, but manga version
2. blonde as picture below:

truthfully, i have registered for two characters but i am only revealing one (the aforementioned is for AFA08 day 1) as i may choose not to cosplay the second character, due to baggage weight limit at the airport.

stay tuned for my next post tonight: 11.30pm, 22 november 2008. (i might be able to use the computer after all! *cross fingers for uploading photo status*)

[prepost] friday - running errands and riding MRT

status: in singapore @ cousin william's home - homestay host! (writing from overseas p-o-v, eventhough still malaysia IP address.)

what a tiring day! first it was all the hassle at LCCT. (i had forgotten how hectic can it be with airasia if there is a conflict of interest.) then it was running errands while conquering MRT (so that i dont get lost to suntec/city hall, since i already know whats the LRT like in malaysia.)

well, that could or could not have been true. all i know is that if there has been trouble at the LCCT, it was either caused by my luggage or delayed departure. (i hereby thank everyone who bothered to sms or call me earlier today~) here's one of my lengthy lists but this one is a list of errands to run while in singapore:

1. buy singapore hardrock cafe t-shirt for xxx (unnamed because i told him nobody from class will get a mention in my blog, thus they are not able to locate my blog - imma coward?)
   
2. visit cosafe @ chijmes
3. popular bookfest @ suntec
4. window shopping @ chinatown
   
5. meet friends with motr (not going, if i chose #6..)
   
6. makan dinner with relatives
7. sakae sushi buffet at student price!
8. buy souvenirs (its at the bottom of the list because i had forgotten about this!)
   

see - its not as lengthy as you thought, right? anyway, if this was posted real-time, i would be too tired out by now as it has been a long day today, and i need the sleep for tomorrow - Anime Festival Asia aka AFA08! oh, guess what are my bedtime story? defamation act (for law mid-term test!) and two whole scenes of dialogues to memorize for my upcoming play for drama class.

here is today's "image of the day" for the sake of adding visual items related to today:

singapore MRT/LRT system: eight lines, 14 terminals! (thank goodness for whichever of these i might be using: one-time travel/tourist/student pass.)

stay on your toes for my next post: 9.30am, 22 november 2008!
