STGCC 09 & G.I Joe...

I've absolutely no idea what's wrong... 1st [FaceBook] decides to screw up on me with the page loading all wrong for a couple of days... Then when the problem seems to be magically resolved, [Blogger] gets more screwed up than it already was for the previous few time tt I've actually log on to do some blogging... I'm now able to do some formatting w/o spewing all kinda HTML codes... Yet the page seems to be loaded all wrong, with the links all jumbled up and stuff... Zzz... -_-"'

Can't everything be alright like in the past??? Sheesh!!! =S

With all the hype abt [G.I Joe] ever since the move hit the theaters, I couldn't resist but to have a go @ it too to, esp after I've seen the ads on TV with the special effects... Eager to get it over and done with and not wait till I'm able to use my last [Shaw] complimentary pass, I watched the movie on [Wed] and I'm not dissappointed, just not tt impressed... Don't get me wrong... The effects are superb... It's just tt the camera seems to be a little jerk when the action scenes gets a little intense, causing me not to be able to understand what's really going on @ some pt in the movie...

Mind you, overall, I still more or less get the idea of what the movie's all abt... I'm after all, not tt dumb... =D

Once the movie's over, I stopped by [Bata] to test out some shoes and hopefully, to be able to find a pair or 2 which I'll fall in love with... It's long overdue tt I should buy a few pairs of new shoes as both my sneakers are already in their CMI states...

Ho-ho... Obviously, with me shopping alone, I'm unable to get any second opinions, which is why after trying a few pairs, I couldn't make up my mind of what to buy and hence postponed the purchase to a later date, probably within the wk... LOL... Well, tt's my shopping pattern... I'll look @ a certain stuff, consider it over a period of time, all the while re-visiting the shop for a couple more times before actually deciding to buy it after getting a few other opinions...

I'm such an indecisive shopper... =D

Anyway, the whole purpose of this entry is actually to announce tt I've actually attended the [Singapore Toy Games & Comics Convention 2009] last [Sun]... It's only the 2nd time in which the convention is being held here and comparing the experience which I've had last yr and a couple of days ago, I'd say tt this yr's so much bigger and better...

The [Cos-Con] competition seems to have garnered much more contestants and some of them are simply just too awesome... What's with the elaborate costumes as well as the portrayal of the character's attitude... Furthermore, there's no more of those hilarious 'I'm from Singapore' kinda answers...

[XP] was with me as we toured the convention and I was the trigger happy dude who couldn't resist snapping pics wherever I went and a cosplayer pops out of nowhere... I would gladly post almost all of the pics - a good 100 of them - here, but seeing tt the darn [Blogger] is so screwed up and I can't preview the pics to arrange the order, I'm feeling kinda bummed cause I couldn't share the joy with everyone...

The pics are on [PhotoBucket.com] though... ^_^
