I tell you.. AFA '09 was fun! ^_^
and it's not because I'm an otaku or what..
originally thought to visit this year's AFA cause I missed last year because I had no balls to go by myself, so this time, with the introduction of the Maid Cafe and friends who have the balls to go, I went :D
reached Suntec with Xinyi at around 3, queued for tickets for around half an hour?
found Sarah, who's working there as part of her work attachment :D
walked around and generally looked around, since it's all new to me la, and we made some stupid comments about how some figures were from some #$%^ eroges, and how some figure was cast-off-able, with sarah subsequently finding those figurines for us to look at. lol. Think I started it =x
if you don't know what these means, you're on your own :p
and then it was around 5+ that Marlon, and subsequently Julie arrived. we then went and looked around some more. lol. at least Julie brought a camera ok :D
met Jing Ting during the event too.. Nice seeing you again :D
It's finally Kamen Rider Kabuto's turn to come on stage at the Bandai
Kids area, and since I'm such a huge fan of Kamen Rider, I went and took a photo with him. lol. it's pretty nerve wrecking even though you know he's not gonna eat you up ok?
one thing though, I'm
taller than
Kabuto! :DD
then we went for the Moe Moe Kyun Maid cafe, since that's what
we I were planning to do since kingdom came, and it's another nerve wrecking experience >_< style="font-style: italic;">almost turned red. lucky it didn't, heh.
and then we were just talking about life in general (I contributed maid related topics), and then it was time to take photos with one of them. It doesn't, I repeat, doesn't come cheap.
we got to choose our maid to take a pic with, but since i was so shy and trying to act so nonchalant, I never chose and said anything la, since what i really wanted was to take a picture with ALL of them. (definitely leads to a bad end)
anyway, we never really chose, and since the maids are all lined up for us to pick, a maid just sort of volunteered herself. thank you, since we really don't know who to pick, and my friends was waiting for me to pick, as I'm so so so hyper during the whole day. lol.
but it was worth it, and Marlon, being the good friend that he was, let me take a solo pic and a group pic with the maid,(dunno the maid's name, but it's ami, Marlon said.), well, ami had dimples and was real cute la. kinda wish she was
in my class my girlfriend. well, I'm a potential target of being seriously delusional >_<
Sarah had the chance to go see the concert as she's a staff member of the event. cool huh?
the 4 of us then stay outside to wait for the photos to print, and also listen to the concert, the fan chants were O_O, and I kinda want to go for a concert someday, just to experience the atmosphere.. :D
cosplayers were quite cool too, had a few laughs here and there but it's all ok :D
well, if things go well, AFA '10 here we come!
had dinner after everything, went to Fish & Co.
well, the food's not particularly great, since I prefer meat, and I'm full from eating the cheesecake in the maid cafe. :DD
still managed though. hah!
