[SOYA 2009]i didnt expect to go to SOYA though, since it was quite far but since i had the time, why not? If i did went to EOY, how could i miss SOY? =D an End Of Year should have a Start Of Year!!! reached Ngee Ann Poly at around 1pm+ and had to look around for LT 26 where it was held. The registration queue was not that long though but since we've pre-registered, it was easier and faster too. We went to look at those booths 1st which were more than that of matsuris. Things sold were slightly different too and were in more variety but sadly i could not find the haruhi band at any of the booths, so maybe i'll have to make 1 myself for cosfest =.= the weather then was not windy and was very very hot, so its time to go into LT 26 =) the solo cosplay competition has already ended by the time we got there so i was just there to get some air-con b4 going out again to snap some shots. When it was like 2pm+ the karoke competition began! the songs they sang were of high difficulty but i thought that they still san great and it was soothing to hear. Went around snapping photos again after more and more cosplayers came and it was soon time for the group competition. however there was only 2 groups competing and it could be due to the fact that the Cosplay Challenge was also on the same date as SOYA. The groups' skit were entertaining as well and the atmosphere was really HIGH there... laughed out hard after the addition of zombies and stuff whichw as really hilarious. After snapping some last shots, we left SOYA at around 5pm+
in overall, i enjoyed myself greatly there and definitely not regretted going and felt that i would have regretted if i had not went. The programs they had were very entertaining as well and had not bored me when i was there. many cosplayers i saw at SOYA were great as well, such as Kuro, Shana and many others. All the props were great too =D i absolutely loved the atmosphere there with all the anime-lovers grouped at one place as it was enjoying to be within the whole group. if u had went, u would koe that =) in the end i only got 90+ photos+vids so it was still quite OK but sadly it could not break 100. felt sadded as well since 2 events had fell on the same date... only a small number of cosplayers arrived when i did but it slowly hyped up afterwards which i find was great. Saw a kyonko cosplayer as well XDDD SOYA~ SOYA~ SOYA~ thumbs UP~~~!
P.S. yes, sadly i am not able to post any photo as i did not register for the media pass which is because of 'some' reasons so i'm sadded as well as i wanted to share those wonderful photos as well =X
