Cosfest’07 Day1 @ Ngee Ann City , Singapore
[Impressions]
7th July 07 marks the 1st day of Cosfest’07, the event kicks off with tight security and the scorching weather upon us. Held at Ngee Ann City, I got turned off when I saw the security and police guarding the event. I knew someone of a “big” status is definitely coming… Carrying a bag with my Kanon Visual Memories in a DHL box and a newtype magazine while squeezing through the crowd is not a fun thing to do and whats worse is to clear your pockets and everything while walking through the security scanner (or whatever you do) was a hassle. The weather isnt being kind and while the crowd is there, somehow, I felt it lack something.
Salsa dances in the afternoon was a bore so much, that the group and I went to Kinokuniya, the land of an alternate posion. I felt an urge to buy but yea..empty pockets prevented me to. I heard that there was a Haruhi group that performed Lucky Star “dance” though but I was unable to verify that as I was in Kino. As the sun starts to set, we proceeded into the crowd while moving around and started taking some pictures. There were a couple of nice cosplayers though and I was pretty attracted to some of them and of course, the girl in the pic above is someone I knew of.
As the event progresses, I was told to move aside as a group of VIP members arrive, yea, the MP and town council members for Tanjong Pagar arrived, pretty suprising for them to come to this event, what suprised me even more was our Minister Mentor had came for the event as well and even gave a pretty lengthy speech.
My impressions? hmm, It’s good thats for sure and I beleived it would even be better when the main event kicks next weekend at Downtown East. Sad to say, I am working on Saturday for the whole day and can only attend on Sunday.
aah~ crowds~! yea but nice shots taken!
To be honest, I was attracted to the girl on the right (2nd pic from top). :P
