Singapore Day 6

 Oh man I am so smashed today. My eyes are so dryyy and tired. Nadi proposed we meet up to go around the anime shops La Tendo and Rashinban in Suntec today, so I got myself ready and headed out. We met up at Bencoolen MRT and took the MRT there. Cause Suntec is so big it's so easy to get lost inside. Nadi took us to the shops (thank goodness we have a local guide, I would have never found things!) and La Tendo is pretty big with a real mix of merch. Some merch are old and never sold I guess? There were nendos and other figures, and I spotted 3 Lan Wu Yao nendos... like whaaat.... 


Rashinban is connected and apparently they just get whatever merch Japan gives them. I didn't find a general general section, so no fishing for Appmon badges... sad. There wasn't much for me, didn't find any treasures. After browsing Rashinban, my bro needed to head off to AFA for his panel, and Nadi and I decided to get some lunch.

There was a food court not too far and it was quieter, so we found a table that was empty around, and then got paratha flat breads from an Indian Muslim place which came with 2 curry dips (Nadi said the thicker one is for chicken curry and the thinner one is for fish curry). 

After eating it was time for my panel Re:Zero with Kobayashi Yuusuke guest, so I headed up to AFA with the staff pass wristband and managed to get through without needing to line up (thanks Shawn!), and they let me into the stage as well! I got there about hald an hour early and saw the last bit of the panel my bro was attending (Towe of God with Hayamin and Ichikawa guest). Thanks to my body I kinda needed to pee just as the panel ended and was waiting for Re:Zero to start... maaan why my body gotta be like this!!! :'D I'll manage...!

After introduction Koba Yuuz turned up in Subaru's tracksuit. The man!!! xD Himeself!! He says that Subaru's outfit is pretty much official uniform for Re:Zero events hahahha (and he bought it himself apparently). When he first started afterrecording, he needed to shout to much and die so many times, he was left so drained at the end of a session, and the other seiyuus around him would be like "are you ok? do you need water? don't push yourself too hard" and turned into many Emilias. xDDD He also mentioned that he would think about how to perform each death, for example when his left arm got chopped off he imagined that since it is close to the heart and lungs, his breathing would be affected and gasp/gulp his speech. If his throat was affected he can get away with muddier pronounciation. If it was his leg then he would still need clear pronounciation as his blood circulation wouldn't be affected too much. He mentioned during Petelguese's arc, since there's so much "GEEEH!" screaming he was left dead at the end of every session. At the end of one afterrecording, the sound director saw him lying these and told him that he should be left to rest and don't get up. xDDD

KobaYuuz also mentioned that he auditioned for Subaru and Reinhart, since at that point he had done a lot fo princely roles so he thought he might suit a knight/noble role. Subaru was his first "dirty/messy (kitanai)" role character.

The panel was great! They took a kinen shashin and we all got to do "VICTORY!" pose. He's come such a long way since his debut role.

After that I went out and there was a line to get out... crowd bottle neck... needed to pee but the toilets on this level were only like 2 cubicles... met up with bro and went downstairs where there's heaps more toilets and peed. Phew. 

After that we met up with Nadi at a Coffee Munch café where she chilled and drew. Then we went to Vivo City (Archer was going for a Beyblade event there). We took the bus and saw the harbour/shipping containers on the way there. The mall was SO BUSY AND NOISY inside. It was really sensory overload. I didn't like it. We ended up looking around, and there was a weeby game shop. They also never clear out their merch so you may find old and odd merch just marked down sitting there. I found.... 4 copies of MHST2 on Switch marked down for $38, and all the ammiibos for them (Tsukino, Laeus, Ena) were still there... $30 for each and $40 for Laeus. All dusty.... TToTT

Then we continued to have a look around the mall... and had soft serve from a shop called Nasty Cookie... say outside the playground for some quiet and under the shade for rest... 

Then walked around outside the mall for some quiet, and ended up walking up Sentosa Boardwalk! My bro wanted to see where the chess matches were, so we went to Resort World(?) and also saw the casion which had a $150 entry fee. We walked all the way there, and then decided it's time to head back. Took the Sentosa Express, and turns out it's free to go back but $3 to go to Sentosa, lol! Got a nice view of the shipping containers and harbour from the train. 

After that we went to Toys R Us to meet up with Archer. Nadi showed me the Sonic section and we also found a Sonic Monopoly set! I sent a photo to Dark H, but sadly seems like Taiwan doesn't stock that. Once Archer was done (he didn't get picked for Beyblade), we headed to dinner at a place called Servus. It's German, and they recently changed their name. They had outdoor seats (!!!) and everyone was OK sitting outside. TToTT Thank you~~ I got a vege burger and it came with saukraut, but the saukruat wasn't cooked and it was super sour!! I finished eerything except 1/3 of the saukraut. Then it was time to head home, as everyone was tired. We took the MRT and said bye to Archer and Nadi while they stayed on the Blue Line home. 

Once home I was sooo tired, took a shower and bed.
