This is all an illusion.
But there is truth within illusions.
And when the illusion fades,
the truth will still resonate within you.

DAY 4
finally coming to the last day. ok so here's the wcs round, we woke up at like 7am (i slept at 2-3am cos i had to repaint my fan...) to prepare cos we thought there's a photoshoot at 9... but because of the rain it was postponed to 11. so no rehearsal, no photoshoot and loss of sleep... ughh...
(oh the lighted armour belongs to today hahah not day 3.. whatever!)
after our competition, we changed out and went to watch the japanese performance. i couldn't watch the group korean performances cos we all had to remain behind stage. what a bugger!!!! cannot video record anything in the end!!! SSSUUUCKKKSSSS...
anyway here's our lovely stage! if you're wondering why it's so empty.. well doesn't seem like a lot of people watch cosplay perfomances.. the crowd was pathetic, there's only like 1 row filled if you try to put all the people together.
found the awesome cloud sword that is super shiny and can be split into parts. seems like magnet was used to put the parts together!
ok, performance. as usual..
#1 is macross frontier...
can you see how many times they changed costume??? these crazy people...
#2 magnet
smexy performance...
#3 last one: naruto
sad! i thought i recorded the performance but i didn't at all!!!!! so this is the only picture i have T.T
and i wanted to show their kagebunshin... darn!!!! (*^$#)(@*$
can only show their bendy bodies...
and finally, the highlight of the day... bbq dinner!! WOOHOO!
i got slashed on my face! blood was spewing across our dorm so i had to seal it with plaster. peggy's method to stop (pimple). heehee.
and then it was a night of soju, beer and lots of gossips.... hmmm...

DAY 3
since the schedule was rearranged, we had a slightly longer sleep than usual and had like almost 3 hours to prepare for our cos that day.
and then we found that the japanese already had their cos ready... waoo... so we went to snap some of them!
sexy bayonetta
not sure what this cos is but pretty!
ciel-kun
and all of us waiting outside because our rooms were too small so we had to shift somewhere else.
finally... the wonder festival.
started around 1pm if i didn't remember wrongly.
and then it was drizzling... so we hurriedly took some group photos and posed for a bit before we left running for the shelters.
i really like this cos!!! she's a korean and i think it's from some manga series. can't remember the name though
i love the boots details, the hair arrangement and the costume. it reminds me of odin sphere!
PANDORA HEARTS by cubie and mitsuki!!!! simply fits into the rose garden background!!
back at the rehearsal room, i had a mini-shoot with gakupo and rin cantarella version. the room is just perfect for the 2. too bad my lighting sucks...
ooh and i tried lightrooming them for the different effects! not so bad with my digi cam eh?
aya as rin
frank as gakupo
pair shots
this photo feels like she's holding a mike.
this is my favourite from the lot. too bad there's the white curtains. zzz
a lone lacus clyne owning the stage?!
we ended off the event with some group photos!
here is team singapore with our organisers!
and here is team singapore + japan!
and here is... team sheryl nomes!!!! goshhhhh
after that we couldn't wait to quickly change out and tour everland. it was still raining but who cares...
i didn't join the rest for omu rice dinner, so here is everland scenery spams!!
there's a live band!
this is their grand stage. awesome. feeld like the olympus collosseum
the central square
nice pond
can you see the little creatures!
i think they are evolved hamsters. 8D
ginnas crowding around the butterfly evolution cages
'omonim, fishy imnida!'
huge duck in the petting zoo.
more scenery!
the rose garden we were at
love the fountain...
when evening came, it was time for rehearsal and the koreans' individual competition. if you ever wondered what one person can do... well... frankly it was an eye opener for me!!
1st contestant: sheryl nome
blur but i still like the picture.
yes, she changed costume!
2nd contestant: lacus clyne
i love how all her little flaps just fall at the right places. thank goodness, she's really a girl (who said she's a guy la!!)
3rd contestant: black rock shooter. kaito i think.
and his guitar lights up!
and the last contestant from guilty gear
she threw her mike off stage - dangerous...
here's all of them!
after the contest, it was time for rehearsal.
and.. and... and...
KARAS ARMOUR!!! full dress rehearsal for them only!!!! WOWWWW. it was raining like crazy and their armour is waterproof!!! i really thought they'd get electrocuted. look at the lights look at the lightss!!!!
