Today is AFA!!!I stuffed myself full of congee from the hotel buffet. Sadly it was quite busy but there was a side room that was less busy. The outdoor table was wet cause it was raining. After eating, I went back up and started to get ready in cosplay. I'm doing a inverted colour version of a t-shirt collab art of Yuuma from World Trigger (since the black t-shirt on the collab art was sold out, I had to buy the white one).
Once I was done and wigged, and found my shoes, Nadi is meeting me at the taxi stand at Suntec. I took a grab and my driver was so nice. He didn't know there was a anime event happening today, and he thought my wig was my real hair. xD I sad if he sees lots of colourful people congregating, it's probably a con or event happening. He dropped me off and Nadi was already there! In front of the big screen~
We headed up and went through the many many many stiles set up for the queue, but today was no queue so it was just walking walking walking through the maze to get to ticket redemption. Archer took longer to get ready in cosplay and just arrived, so we met him up to pass his wrist band to him. Then we went to bag check. I wasn't allowed to take a pastry into the convention so got told to eat it at the side... I would hate to just through it away so I ate it as fast as I can, and then went through bag check again. One of the muslim ladies stared at my eyes and I let her know that it's contacts/fake eyes. She was so fascinated. I thanked them and went through, and caught up with Archer and Nadi. We met up with Shawn and the guys did their Ultraman stall thing. And then Archer got asked for a photo, and we joined in as photog to make him look popular. xD Everyone just wants his big d...dark sword. xDDD
Then we went to the Neopets stand, and Cookie Run!! And had a look at the Arkknights one which was very popular, and they had a stand for Infinity Nikki. You could sit in the chair! There's a stand with the couch for Link Click, a Frieren stand, and some others. Lots of big stands.
Archer was getting hungry and so was Nadi so we went to the food stalls, and they got food. I wasn't quite hungry yet. We finished eating around 1pm and then my hunger hit. Arrgggh why must my body be like this!? We were about to head to main stage for the Übel Blatt panel! Well I guess at least my bowels and digestion are regular...
We got to the panel and they gave us a card with the key visual and calendar on the back with the airing dates. They showed us the first episode, and they just did a really quick intro of vol 0 of the betrayal and murder scenes, then cut to vol 1 with Peepi. They cut out all the sex scenes LOL.
Sadly Hirose Yuuya and Producer Watanabe couldn't make it due to flight issues, and they had to video call in. They were so gutted and sad!! They were wearing short sleeves in the spirit of being in Singapore. They wanted to try a certain restaurant, do the Night safari, and see Marina Bay Sands.
Later on the official twitter you can see me in the crowd xDDDD My Yuuya head and Replica on the back hahaha.
Nadi liked how fast paced it was. I thought it was really interesting at the pace they were going! But makes sense to get the action started, they have a lot to cover.
Then my bro and I went for lunch and Archer/Nadi went to explore the con. We went to Donki in Suntec. Everywhere was busy.... I had no choice... I tried to eat as fast as I can. I got an udon and a box of rockmelon. Once done we headed back.
Alan went off to do his thing and I headed towards the Artist Alley. I couldn't find Archer so I gave up and started to browse the artist alley. There's heaps of stalls of highly detailed art and super pretty, but all the fandoms are ones that I am not in... mostly Hoyoverse, and vtubers. It made it really easy to get through. No holy grails sadly. But I did find Melanbread artist who drew Danny Phantom! In 2024!! xD I had to get it hahha. I bought a couple of prints and two Shangri-La Frontier things! The only 2 I saw. An acrylic chained keychain of Sunraku and Emul, and a sticker of them each. There was a couple of Danmeshi prints too, so I bought selectively.
Nadi found me halfway through my browse and I took about 2.5~3 hrs in the artist alley. We were about done and it was 5:30pm ish so we decided to wrap up and start to head out. On our way out we looked at the new Shadow Palmpals figure (from Sonic), and then the GSC nendo stall. We managed to get out at around 6pm. My bro had already left earlier to rest up for the concert tonight.
\We walked through Suntec and had a look at the food court places, and settled on a Thai place. It was one of the first halal-friendly restaurants that wasn't packed and had spaces in between tables, so it was somewhat acceptable from a covid risk perspective.... can't say I like it though. Dinner was really delicious and the appetiser was like the size of 4 people's appetiser. Wow. We got like a tofu dish, a soft shell crab noodle, eggplant, and cereal prawn. The prawn was really amazing in the sense that you can eat it with the shell on, even the head! I believe it's been fried to the point where you can do that.
We didn't finish everything for dinner, but Archer and Nadi packed it back up. Archer went back into the con to socialise some more, and Nadi and I sat for a bit before heading back. By the time we got to the front entrance with the big screen, Archer was done so we waited for him so we could go home together. They took a grab home, and I attempted to find my way out via walking but failed. So I ended up walking out, around the expressway exit? and then doubled bacl cause it felt wrong, got lost in the towers and finally decided to take the MRT home instead by 1 station. At least I'll be out on the street...
I took the yellow line to Bas Barah and then got off and walked back to the hotel. Totally exhausted, but really wanted to relax and watch anime so I took a shower, and then watched an episode of I Parry Everything anime. My bro came back not long after. It was really funny though and even though I was so so tired I watched 3 eps, was 11pm and defeated and went to bed. Good day.
