Cos Fest 2005 Pt 1
Time 0200
Date 100705
Venus Downtown East
Event Cosfest 2005
I have to admit that my initial reason to attend cosfest 2005 is to laught at the cosplayers. After comparing local cosplay and those in japan, most of my peers reactions are , " Wah! SG cosplayer cannot make it. Jap one sibeh chio"
Erm... Jap cosplayer are definately chio, some of them are porn stars if u notice. So armed wif my handphone and low expectations, I went to the event.
My first reaction when I step into the place was.... Wow!
The crowd cheering , the cosplayers walking around posing, cameras flashing non stop..... U can feel the excitment in the air. I go around looking out for characters that i know, pointing and staring at them. I'm like a kid let loose in a candy store.
The cosplayers are very friendly, non of them reject any offers to take photos and even does different poses for us to shot. At that moment, it doesn't matter if they cosplayers are pretty or not, it doesn't matter if their costume are accurate or not. What matters was that everyone was having fun.
It was a nice day. Except It was rather freaky to see Guilty Gears characters eating at BK O__O""""
This day changed my view of cosplayers, they are no longer the wannabes which i thought they are. They are just a fun bunch of people exibiting their interest, show out their costumes and equipment.
Below are some photos which i took, the quality's quite bad. Hopefully next time I'll get a real digicam, and read up on more characters before I go.
Gothic gals....
With an attitude to match.
Group Pics. Note the cool character on the rite
Stars Wars.... Couldn't find yoda.
Then there's a rather short Death, this guy wif a large claw, the swat team's here to check for bombs, cute guilty gear gal and a ninja...
Oh... even the Chio bits are here!

Cos Fest 2005 Pt 2
I went out of the tent and saw lots of people, including the cosplayers themselves taking photos of the sky (kinda reminds me of Wars of the Worlds). I look up and saw....
The special thing about this pic is that its taken directly 90 degress facing up. Its a bad omen... my spide sense are tingling. Suddenly a fight broke up!
Batman Vs Jap catwoman
Samurais fighting!
I was about to stop them but something caught my eye. Jap school gals! And they are darn pretty : ) This gal on the left looks damn cool.
Woo hoo... look at the white hair. I like!
Speaking of white hair....
Devil May Cry
He even has pistol pounch behind to hold his guns... Impressive.
Another touching moment in game history.
Aries kissing a female Cloud.
A mature Kenshin
Woo hoo... Wo Ai Luo ! My favourite naruto character.
Too bad the "Ai" on his forehead not obvious enough.
Nightmare B4 christmas .... haha... Gotta love the mayor...

(everything abt xx in this post is my personal opinion of her as a blogger. I do not know the real xx and have no right to judge her)
23 june, 2005 the day that xiaxue can't handle her fame anymore.
I remember i wrote of how i'm a closet xx groupie on my personal blog ( entry: she whose name shall not be mention). Well, i stop read her blog after she sort of ask for money or should i say her fans volunteer to give her money to buy a camera she misplaced. At the moment I feel that i don't want to read xx anymore. Why? It's simple, i don't think its right, i don't see eye to eye wif her anymore , i don't wanna read it anymore.
I never leave any comments on her blog before, i'm just a bystand, never comment just observe.
She mention that "Why are people telling me things like, "More people used to love you than hate you now most people just hate you - close down your blog"" Yes, lots of my friends says that xx has change, she's no longer the xx they know.
I , on the other hand, am happy to see that change. I want to observe how she mature as a blogger, how she handle her fame, how far can a famous local blogger go, how can she keep it real and how long will the whole thing last.
But sometimes, i'll just read her archieves instead. The funny stuffs she used to write
As i mention earlier, I stop reading xx till the spg incident. I was quite tulan when i saw Newpaper interview her about the spg incident ( i didn't know that she commented on spg's breast before that). I was thinking " Does spg need her approval to get famous? Why interview her?"
That night i saw wan bao with her photo but the caption was about spg instead. My first reaction is "Wow thats a real blooper!" For an account on the whole event you can read her blog.
That's the event that bring me back to the pink page again, to see another milestone in her blog. xx has certainly generated lots of interest online. You'll always see people with strong opinons on her post, her enemies wanna kill her, her groupies will become human shield for her. When is the last time you see singaporeans have such extreme opinons on anything?
I shall be reading xx for the next few weeks to see how things turn out. I'll neither support nor condamn her. I'm just a bystand, never comment just observe.

You are what you wear
Was taking a break from work today and I stroll to the nearest shop house to buy some sweet. Clad in my usual Lock-kok t shirt, shorts, field pack bag 9 Osaki flip flops and my uncombed hair, I set foot on the streets of beach road, shunning from the passionate sun.
As i was minding my own business, i suddenly saw an old camp mate, a tekong spec from another coy walking in my direction. He came up to me and said "Hey what are you doing here?"
Being my usual self proclaim humorous self, I pointed a few construction workers nearby and said "Working..."
The guy took a glance at the workers then look at me from top to toe and replied "Construction ah?..." Before i could say that I'm just joking, aka being my usual self proclaim humorous self, He walk away saying something about he got to go or rushing for time.....
At this exact moment, a cold wind blow somewhere in china and a crow fly pass someplace over india. Fuck.
Please get this in ur heads ppl, most designers works fucking 16 hours a day. We wear home clothes at work cause we stay at work longer than at home. Designer wear are made by designers for non designers to wear. We use wear t shirts and flip flops ok?
(monotone couldn't understand why he got mixed up with construction workers. They definately dressed better than him)

Monotone - arc of lifeless
Welcome to our circle of sorrow, the gathering of losers.
If you look around u you will find circles of sorrows everywhere. Taxi drivers in kopi tiam, students in school canteen,teenagers @ starbucks. Its unwritten law that when groups of people gather, they will start to sit in a circle and whine about their pathetic life. Misery loves company.
So what makes our circle of sorrow better than others (in this case, worse)? We are 5 poor guys (financially, spiritually and morally),who are rowdy (that amplifys our agony), desperately single (except for 1), who have no life, cause we dun buy straits times..... did i mention we are lame too?
I shall not speak more about the circle cause most of the arcs are living in denial. We might be doing a self introduction
each soon. Be prepared for it, if you cunt handle the truth. Oh and that's not a typo.
Drop by this blog if u wanna bask in our woe, swim in our sea of distress , run down the fields of our misfortune or simply stare at our calamity in awe. This is definately a feel good site. Who doesn't feel good when u you others in worse state than you?
(monotone works 21 weekdays follow by 2 weekends. He idea of having a life is getting off work before 12 am)
