Animania!!! got picked up by Vanessa's dad at 9, and arrived half an hour early, but there was like no one on the church steps, so we went to woolies first to read mags...went back after a while, and after just standing around, vanessa realised that this wasn't the lining up area, (cos i saw a sign saying 'entry' and pointing to the right, but i just thought that there's a DOOR there... but NO!) so we went around to the side, and there were soooooooo many people!!! and we just kept walking and walking and walking until we reached the end of the line, which was near the traffic lights of QVB!! gosh, but even though we pre-registered, we were moving at the same pace as the other people..
weird stuff which i noticed while lining up with vanessa and sabrina (who really looks like vanessa!!!):
- there were 30 something unemployed looking guys in a group... weird (extreme otakus?) but on their shirt, it had like logos of companies... so they are employed? yea anyways....
- the girls behind us were obviously 'yaoi' fans (i thought they said 'yowie' as in the chocolate, so i was like...wat..) n they had a fan which said "i like boys who like boys"....................................................
- one of the staff dressed up as a naruto character, and he had orange contacts!! n it looked so real.. like he's possessed or something..
den bla bla bla... wandered around to the stage area, where they were showing anime, and it had like more stalls behind it, where people sold stuff they made (craft stuff/drawings/illustrations - really good quality - and fan stuff) then there was.... '10 minute sketching' area, karaoke and FOOD!
there wasn't as much as i thought... and my okonomiyaki wasn't there! :"( so i just lined up for takoyaki, which took.. saw juliet, izzy, chloe, but got bored, so went to kino with sabrina... the person at the stationery section must've thought i was weird, cos i kept on wondering there for AGES!! btw, they have Densha Otoko novel in english now!!! hehe gonna buy next month... when my wallet is revived!
den went back in time for the cosplay, which started at 3pm! so late... it was good, especially the cardcaptor skit, meilin and sakura was fighting for syaoran, so funny! and there was this mum who made a 'chibimoon' costume for her kid and the host was like 'so how many years have u been a fan?' and she said '4' ....'and how old are you'..........'3'... hahaa so random.. but she was so cute, and the judges were like all smiling *awww*
we were waiting for the ouran cosplayers to come up, but they didn't... and we had to go, cos the thing finished at 6pm! so walked to world square to meet cc oni & mama and they drove vanessa & co. home
it just happened to be a long weekend with double demerit, so we were looking for police, cos we had one too many person... and when we nearly arrived, mama was like "*scream!* polisi" gosh i got like a heart attack, so sabrina had to duck down... they were there cos the traffic lights died... they must've been wondering why we were all laughing weirdly in the car... o_o" good thing they didn't come near our car!!
so basically... animania wasn't as good as i thought it was... o well, at least i've EXPERIENCED it! yay otaku power..! (for more photos, go to my multiply:
at night, mel came over! :D haven't seen her in ages!! she might come to indo on the same day as me! hehe so excited, hvn't been there since 2 years ago......... comics - tachi *drool*
