AFA 09 Day 1 - yes that miku was me

Mon Nov 23, 2009, 12:57 AM

.: Purple Lights




Really a tiring weekend , and finally I had the time to type this up before I forget

I think almost everyone have been wondering yes or no, but indeed the Cantarella Miku on Day1 was me. Hatsune Miku has probably been one of my favourite iconic character. I wanted a new approach for myself towards AFA, so I got this idea off :iconayatenshi:. Cosplay was sure a new experience for myself , and at a event. Turned out to be pretty ok and fun haha.

On Day 1 itself, I met up with :iconsakurazaki: and :iconohonigiri: as we stayed near together. Head over to Suntec and started to prepare. I went to meet and wait for :iconk-iricos: and :iconb-eckiee: to help me out. I'm really thankful for both of you for helping a lot of my stuff out. After that I called Jun to bring my luggage over to the "corner" for me. Sean was taking care of my belongings. From there , the real thing started. Posing wasn't easy in front of everybody. I had issues with smiling. During thursday , 2 ulcers grew in my lips and during AFA itself it got worst and painful. OTL. I saw so many people and most of the time I had to stay mute. Wandered around the event meeting everyone, taking photos and some random omakes. It felt like a short time but very tiring. I changed out right about 5+ as I was about to queue up for the ANISONG concert. It was really damn awesome, although I was disappointed with only 3 songs by Miku. Shoko was nice and energetic although I felt the performance for her was too short compared to Aniki. Thanks to Freedomduo to get spidy to book the tickets for me. Got to meet new friends like :iconmelo-01: :iconkeixtique69: :iconashteyz: :iconshinjisg87: and Sephora and Phyllo. The concert that night was still not bad though although I was really tired by then and straight away knocked out when I reached.

I'm just glad that there were people out there to help me out. Its thanks to all you guys out there.
:iconayatenshi: for starting the whole idea with me and guiding
:iconk-iricos: :iconb-eckiee: for your help in make-up/preparation and shoot
:iconsakurazaki: for the help with the pannier
:iconfarizasuka: for accompanying me to trap people
:iconototsuki: for the wig help
:iconrainertachibana: for the tailor recommendation
:iconblacklash90: for "some" help , even though I didn't use it in the end >_<
Sean and Jun for taking of my belongings during AFA itself


I hope I did not miss anyone out, you guys are awesome. Although , I wonder should I do this again because I felt it could be much better. It was much more tiring than I thought. The effort and difficulty in all these , I guess I understand it now. It's really good to know how it feels and how much respect I give to all cosplayers out there. Everyone were looking epic during AFA. Hope next year will be epic. Maybe I'll write up about day2 later...

P,S : My brain is still really dead after last night, I wonder am I typing sense or not...
