Cosfest VII

The second cosplay event I attended! Go me!

Day 1:
Got to Pasir Ris station at 2pm. Entered the line for bus 354. Within 5 minutes or so, the whole line behind me was full. There was a group of Rurouni Kenshin cosplayers after me. Anyway, we all got onto the bus somehow. Its interesting how the rest of the people stared at the cosplayers.

Reached Downtown East. Cosplayers everywhere. I felt right at home. There weren't many really memorable cosplays, except a giant Bleach group and giant D.Gray Man group. There were 4 Ls if I remember correctly. One of the booths was selling wooden swords for 79.90 each. Horrible quality, high price. Ugh. The sword guards weren't even secure. Guess they were mass produced or something.

The karaoke competition was on, and oh.. just how bad it was cannot be described. Walking around with bad singing in the background wasn't particularly fun. Most were horrible, some were alright. The winner was obivous when Rika came on stage, singing Nico Nico Douga Kumikyoku. Everyone in the whole tent actually stopped and watched. One word: Epic.

Other notable stuff were the giant trains. One of them was started by Mr Anon of 4chan, which ended up circling round and round the middle booth.

Day 2:
Came in visual kei outift for god knows why. Gained quite a few stares from aunties here and there. Don't you hate how ignorant aunties are?

The cosplay outcome for today was relatively better. Notable cosplays include Gundam (same guy from EOY 07). The crowd following the gundam was mad. Gundam walks, crowd follows. The people in front move to the side to allow passing, while more people move in front again to get shots. So you end up with one giant crowd around all direction of the gundam. Not forgetting IRONMAN too!! Ironmandansen ftw?

The Inphyy who participated in the cosplay competition looked great too. Too bad there weren't any fight scenes, just a dance. I'd love to see her in action. Then there was the Bleach team who did a BL/yaoi discussion skit for their competition entry.. =___=

Well then, now that its all over, time to wait for EOY 08! I wanna get my energy sword ready by then..

Oh, without further ado.. COSFEST PICS!
