Anifest 2010 Singapore

When me and my best buddy show the news article in the news paper that they was going be an anime convention in Singapore during that coming year's year end holidays,we were both excited as we were both otakus(just in case you did not know it just means an anime fanatic),we immediately made a promise to go to the convention during the holidays.We made that promise months before the convention.
After the year end exams were over,the days passed by quickly,soon the day of the convention was only a mere few hours.In the news article, it said the anime convention was on the 12th of November to the 14th,oh were we in for a big surprise!When me and my friend went to Suntec City,where the convention was held,on the 12th we found out that to our disappointment that the anime convention only started on the 13th.Me and my friend immediately made arrangement to meet on the 14th.On the way back to the MRT station we felt hungry and decided to buy some takoyaki(a ball of flour mixed with water with a piece of either octopus or shrimp inside).We were surprised again for the second time that day, when i had only ordered 4 takoyaki the chef there gave me 8!I asked the cashier when i was paying what was going on, she said that the stall that they were operating had only began business a few days ago and there was a 1 for 1 promotion for each takoyaki we bought.Now that i think about it that day did not seem so bad after all.
Then came the 14th,i was thrilled to experience my first anime convention.I had reached the convention earlier than my friend,so i went on inside the anime convention before him after buying the entry tickets for the both of us.I was surrounded by cosplayers dressing up as their favourite characters and my fellow otakus.There was a artist gallery where members from the public could show case their artistic talent and draw to their hearts content.Animax had also send some of their staff to participate in fun.They allowed us to try out voice acting and boy was it hard!I either was too fast or too slow.Sega also joined the convention,they brought out they latest game:Project Diva Arcade version! I tried out the game,but the waiting line for a chance to play was so long that i had at least 1 hour,but it was super fun.This is the song i played on the Project Diva Arcade version.
That was when my friend came and i went for lunch.
When i came back from lunch,i realised that the place was practically flooded with figma dolls!They about the size of my tip of my longest finger to the end of my palm and doll came with all sorts of little accessories but each cost at least $50!I could not afford to buy such an expensive yet worthless(to me anyway)toy!
After walking around the convention for around 2 hours,i decided to go and line up to play Project Diva,this time with my friend.This time i tried a harder level than before,only to see the word failed appear on the screen after at most 1 minute of game play.I blamed my failure at my ignorance to the fact that i lack skill and practice.i decided to say my fare well to the convention,but not before i got some souvenirs.i bought a cushion with a picture of characters from 1 of my favorite anime:D Gray Men and a bookmark with a picture of a character from another of my favorite anime:Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn.
The entire experience was very enjoyable and it will be something i would never forget.
Here are some pictures of the cushion i bought
