It’s been almost 2 weeks since STGCC. I’ve got everything ready to post about it; The few photos and the content I want to write all in point form in my mind. Yet, I simply lost the motivation to write anything. I’m not sure if it’s just laziness or just a burnout. Like LianYL’s burnout. Do the man a favour and take a look at the stuff he’s trying to clear.
Alright, back to the event. STGCC 2009 has been the event which I spent the shortest time at. Usually, when I head to such events related to cosplay and other aspects of geek/otaku culture, I’d be there pretty early an stay till closing time, or at least near to it.
They don’t bother if you have a DSLR now, you need to have epic gear if you want those in costume to look in your way
With the brief time spent at STGCC 2009 on Saturday, I only have a couple of things to say.

Once again, I volunteered as a host for yet another exchange program. It’s already my third time participating as a host, and quite probably the last as well, since I’ll soon be a year 3 student who won’t have any time to spare during the school holidays. I hope not…
This group arrived from Kumamoto, small but more balanced as compared to the previous all-male group from Hiroshima. Due to work, I only managed to meet the Japanese students a few days after their arrival.

Unlike last year’s EOY where I only arrived 4pm and took a mere 7 photos, I actually spent some decent time at this year’s event, and took more photos of cosplayers too. Media passes were given out too, so I’m not complaining.
For some reason or another, most of my pictures turned out fairly decent on the camera display, but the moment I checked them on the computer, they were quite blurish and horrible. Some of those were the ones with a better angle or poses, so it was quite a disappointment. Darn, I should really invest in a external flash if I want to take decent pictures in future indoor events.
Anyway, unlike previous cosplay events where I would go trigger happy and shoot just about anything that’s in costume, I held back this time, only taking what caught my interest.

Since Day 2 wasn’t much different from Day 1 except for the concert and some other stage events, there wasn’t much of a reason to arrive early today. In fact, there wasn’t much of a reason to come, besides May’n’s Live.
Before I begin on the nitty-gritty details of today’s highlights, here’s my favourite cosplayer of the day. If only I had requested for her to pose with the revolver.
She has the Kino feel

Day 1 of AFA08 had crazy queues, mainly the entrance ticketing booth. And so, I patiently queued up with my sister to get our normal tickets.
Speaking of tickets, I was only told by those who had media passes that my name was on the media pass list after I paid for my ticket and entered. I didn’t expect my name to be registered, since I submitted my application merely 3 days prior to the event and didn’t receive a reply of any sort. So, I wasted 8 dollars for nothing LOL. I ended up giving my ticket away to someone who might want it, since there it isn’t of any use to me anymore.
