You want to know what happened? Alright you got it!

Alright... the day started with me nearly missing out the train and ended up with us catching the all stops hahaha... anyways... besides all that point that I just made... I was a bit disappointed at the amount of delaying and unorganised events such as the Iron Artist event coz I was looking forward to it but in the end it was about half an hour late -__-‘ which was a bit disappointing but in the end... it wasn't worth the wait... although it was interesting I thought that there were so little happening and quite truthfully tends to be quite tedious and boring... and the emcees kept trying to cheer us up but in the end I think they were kinda ruining the artists concentrations...

In the Iron Artist event there was the challengers and the Iron Artists sides... each group contains three artists and they all compete... The competition is to make a story and intertwine two characters from different anime and that time the theme was to make a story with Cloud and Pikachu... In the beginning we didn't know what the heck we were looking at because not only because of the lousy camera work (ok... that was a bit harsh but the camera guy really did try) In the end we get to see the finished artwork and then we thought... oohh... now that makes sense... ok... that was a bit unclear... but the thing is I thought that the challengers' concepts were pretty ordinary except for one... whilst the irons artists all have different concepts and differents approaches which were amazing especially this one Iron Artist that I thought deserved the prize... this guy made a manga concept where in the first box we have a long shot of Cloud that is not viewable and then the second panel shows Cloud sort of gently holding someone and we are sorta imagining that it was Aerith, Cloud's girlfried... but then all realities were shattered... Aerith has the face of Pikachu!! Hahaha that was funny actually I wish I have taken a photo of that but I can't stop laughing... but in the end the 'other' crowd picked this EMO type one... so... a bit disappointed but in the end it was not my decision after all...

I thought the emcees were quite weird especially the guy with the glasses and funnily enough both emcees have long ponytail but one wears glasses... Anyways... I know I'm blabbing on but one thing for sure... you cannot go there with an empty pocket... it is very impossible to go there and not spend anything on... anything... whatever it may be... I can't afford to have anything anymore so I'm trying to resist the temptation of actually buying other things anymore... which was a bit disappointing coz there are a lot more things that I wish I could buy without my purse being dry and thin beyond recognition (and fyi I don't have that much money and I try to spend carefully untiL I get to Animania and now when I think of it I thought that now I need to save a hell lot more when I want to come the next time...)

OK... once again I am blabbing... Oh... just another thing the cosplays were COOL! ^--^ ESPECIALLY this special tribute to Final Fantasy where there were the main guy and girl characters from the Final Fantasy series... there was one from FF VII, FF VIII, FF IX, FF X, FF X-2 and this other one that I have no idea where it came from... but it was absolutely AMAZING!! Cos they dance to this song from FF VIII where Squall and Rinoa dance in the Academy... and the whole dance sequence was actually VERY carefully coreograph to mimick exactly the same dance sequence as the one from FF VIII ^--^KAWAII!!! It was SOOO COOL!! I am not kidding you AT ALL!! It was the best thing that I have ever seen *sigh... maybe I'm just dreaming but honestly I wished I have a video camera and taped it... oh... how I wish... But enough of that I am so just going to daydream about that a lot if I don't stop now... One thing for sure is that when you go there you better bring a lot of money and also embrace yourself for what's coming... coz when you go to the vendors site there would be a lot of people there... and am not kidding when I said you actually need to force yourself forward to get a glimpse... but there wasn't a lot of people when the cospaly started... so that was cool... *sigh... I still can't get over that Final Fantasy Tribute =_=

ok... I better stop now and go to sleep... and btw... this blog is done on Sunday after I sorta reword and redo quite a bit... since Blogger stuffed the previous attempt up =_= ok... I'll tell you all about the Sunday one or the today's one a bit later... coz I think I have a bit of work to do... and hopefully I get a chance to do my work as well as the blog coz I tend to forget about details of that day unless I quickly write it down... or try to remember really hard about what happened... alrighty I think I better go now... see ya all later!

As a last thing... these are the photos that I took and hopefully you would be able to see em...

PS. just as a last thing the whole blog has got more things coming... I haven't actually talked a lot about the Saturday one on this one and I still haven't talked about the Sunday one!! ARRGGHH!! Well... if you're thinking that's not a lot of photos you are mistaken I just can't be bothered with resizing it and then paste it onto the blog so those are just the few that I wanted to put in... there are a lot more and you should wait... err... that is if I have any time to publish anything in such a short amount of time... but whichever way you want to see it the whole day was MARVELLOUS!!!
