Animax Youth Festival 08 Day 2

The past weekend brought about more of the cosplayer out of me.... or more of the Reno out of me if you prefer. Went over to Kenneth's house on friday so that he'd be able to style my hair for the event and for Reg to apply make up (THANKS A LOT GUYS!!!). The event lasted 3 days. Friday, Saturday as well as Sunday. I only went on the last two days though. Saturday was kind of a slow day... there was little to do aside from play the PS3 games available to try (rock band, MGS4, GT5 prologue and some monster game). The venue wasn't very suitable as the stalls and booths were separated by some car display.... i think a lot of people must've missed the other side coz if it wasn't for my friends, i wouldn't have known about it. Since the cosplay competition was the next day, it was obvious not a lot of people were present (cosplayers and the crowd alike). So we decided to walk around for a bit and stopped for lunch at Mc D's. Got to chat with the gang to socialize and have a few good laughs (nice to meet people who are noisy and loud for a change!).

After more aimless walking, we decided to go to Toys R Us where we met up with Mitts. (we got lost on the way and i know she wasn't pleased by how she greeted me XD but i think she's gotten over it. OU is one big maze to me... I prefer sunway lols!) Explored inside and i didn't spend 5mins walking in the store before i was slashed by one of em with swords >___< some of em got some rare mini figurines from the slot machine and Dei got himself a magic 8 ball XD which we all shook when asking questions. The girls couldn't stop drawing pics of me on the erasable sketch bored that they found. Nice artwork though, wish i was artistic too... and as usual, the guys all ogled the guns available for purchase (i was eying the shot gun, might get it for my shot gun guy cosplay). Unexpectedly, Ice Cream graced us with her presence =D she was hot though when she came... no i mean literally XD she was fanning herself because of the heat. Guess being all cute in a lolita outfit has it's downsides too huh? We moved on to MPH where we all sat down in an empty aisle to give some well deserved rest to our feet (mine were aching) we chatted some more about most things anime which included the disrespect some people showed at the previous bon odori...

To top everything off and call it a day, we eventually managed to regroup back stage for a photoshoot. It was fun and i know the photographers must've had a good laugh taking supposedly sexy poses i made XD honestly, the things i do for fan service. That attracted some onlookers who decided to stop for a few mins to snap some pics themselves. After much photo snapping and a lot of smiling and giggling... we all said our good byes and went on our merry way.

More on Day3!!!
