STAC EOY 2008!!!

Finally, the highly anticipated event of the yr has arrived @ the [Singapore Expo]... The [STAC EOY 2008]!!! This year, the [Halloween] theme... Er, I mean cosplay theme is [Retro Anime]... I was expecting stuff like [Doraemon], [Salior Moon], etc... LOL... It's dumb, but hey... It's just a passing thought anyway...

It's a pity tt both [XP] and [YH] couldn't make it to this must-attend event of the yr... There're tons of booths around selling all kinds of anime merchandise and get this, a talk for aspiring manga artists by the pros!!! Okay, so I wasn't really tt excited over the talk, but I do know tt [XP] will and I just want tt murderous look tt she always give me... Haha... Gee... I think I'm turning into some kinda sicko here or something...

It's [M]'s 1st time attending such cosplay event and boy were we hyped up... We did check out some of the performances, but we didn't see much of the booths... And neither did we stay for the cosplay competition... We did however, took tons of photos...

Seeing tt I'm the sole photographer @ the scene, I felt tt I've the obligation to get this posted up ASAP... Therefore, I hereby present to you the photo spree tt I went to heaven to obtain... Mind you, this isn't FOC hor... I have to part with $12 of my hard-earned cash... Not tt I'm complaining la...

Random Shots...

























The cosplayers are not the only eye candies around... Just look @ the beautiful dolls tt are on display!!!






[Shana]!!!

Now tt I've satisfied the fetishes of the doll lovers out there, it's back to the human cosplayers... Apparently, the event is such a hit tt some other characters have decided to turn up as well...

[Santa]'s very hot elf...

Evil [Darth Vader]...

I would say they're the [SWAT] and terrorist taking the event hostage... But others seems to think they're from [CounterStrike]...

And [Scream]...

Apart from the universe crashers, we also have the uber young ans super kawaii children making their special appearances...




Now for the really juicy portion...

After much hunting, I've finally tracked down [Honey]-senpai... Only to catch him talking on the phone... Alone... *Sigh* Where are the other hosts from the infamous [Ouran Host Club]??? Where stonic [Mori] who's supposed to keep an eye on [Honey]?!?!

OMG... It's [Kikio]!!! Turn around for a pic please...



I didn't know [L] has a twin...



The 2nd best part of the whole event is tt I saw some [D.Greyman] cosplayers!!! Get this... This is only the SECOND BEST...

[Lavi]!!!

Finally!!! We have ppl who are cosplaying the [Ancients]!!! I've always wanted to see the [Ancients]... *Drools*



Where is [Tiki] though??? =S



Drumroll please for I present to you what I deem as the best for this whole event... I spotted 2 [Clouds] and many more [Final Fantasy] cosplayers!!! *Squeals*

From [Final Fantast VII: Advent Children]...

The ill-prepared [Cloud]...

I'm now ready... Snap away!!!

I suspect tt the following is from [Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core]...

[Aeris]...




Heh... Both me and [MJ] thinks tt this guy is kinda hot... LOL... Don't get me wrong... He's not the only good-looking one @ the event... There are many, many more walking around, whether they're in a costume or as a spectator...

*Sigh* Tt's abt it liao... If you ask me, I would say tt this $12 is well-spent... So looking forward to next yr's cosplay events... Whether they're FOC or not... ^_^

Epic Entry Final Part (Hong Kong Trip)...

As our transport to the airport comes @ abt 1400 hrs and we die die have to check out by noon, we decided to pack and check out in the morning, after we're done with our packing... We left our luggage in the care of the concierge before heading to the nearby streets for breakfast...

We subsequently took a walk and have a look @ a street tt we previously missed out and [Sis] ended up doing some last min shopping...

I, on the other hand, decided to do some last min eating instead... Yummy blueberry pie!!! LOL...

Managed to snap a shot before she goes back shopping...



Wow... This car looks like the one tt's featured in those [Back To The Future] series eh...

Did you see tt??? My eyes have been seeing tt shop for don't know how many times since the past few days and I didn't have a chance to eat it... Now the time has finally come!!! Banzai!!!

The rest of the family decided to stay in the shopping centre behind [Ben & Jerry's] for a cup of [Starbucks] instead... [Sis] finally relented and took some photos with me...





Look @ the ceiling, I found this... If not for the tilt in camera, I bet most will mistook it for some dark, stormy clouds tt's signifying tt a terrible storm is coming... Or a tornado... Haha...

A narrow alley b/w buildings... Looks like some scene where a murder will take place... Or a chase scene where some guy is escaping from the mafia or cops...

O-k-a-y... Moving on, we then headed back to the hotel and stoned a little there as we waited for 1400 hrs to come and the transport tt'll take us to the airport to materialize... As the hotel lobby is freaking cold, I decided to head outside and take some random shots to kill the time...



Something which I think [XP] will love... I actually zoomed to take this shot... I didn't dare go any nearer for fear tt the cat will pounce on me cause it's intimidated by my presence or something... Ha~...

Amazing... Even the steeps have the name of the hotel...

A sand box for the by-products of dogs... NOT for children to play in, obviously... LOL!!!



There's nth much @ for the trip back to the airport though, mainly cause I shut my eyes throughout the whole journey in an attempt to take a nap... Upon arriving @ the airport, we didn't do much shopping and checked in immediately...

A layout of how the departure area looks like...

How it looked like in reality... It's looks like a never-ending tunnel!!!



The journey back to home sweet home is nearing it's end... *Sigh in contentment*
