Gurney Plaza Cosplay Contest

It's so nice to be back in hometown. No where else is sweeter.

My last paper was over on Saturday, 13th Nov. I'm so happy it's over that I was able make it in time to this cosplay competition albeit a few complications on the day of the event which was Sunday. I even thought of skipping church that morning but God wouldn't let me. Not that I'm not making God sound bad. I'm so relieved that I didn't get tempted to sleep in that morning just so I could get ready better before getting to the event. What's more, I was even in time to do fund-raising car wash between end of church service til 2pm before the cosplay event starts! God's ways are indeed, always always higher. No reason to not follow them.

But before that!

I had to pack up my piles and piles of stuff into box before Monday, the day I go back to Kuching.

To my horror, my amount of stuff multiplied over the months and I had to pack everything into 1 large luggage, 1 small luggage, 3 boxes and 3 hand luggages!!!! So yeah, my cargo luggage was overweight no doubt while checking in at the airport.

Nonetheless by God's grace and with just RM45 to pay up, I'm back at home safely and partly SATISFIED~

After hours of late night packing.............

DAYBREAK.


Got ready for church.

After church and car wash, a friend sent me over to Komtar bus station where I waited for my 3 coursemates to arrive from campus. Then we took another bus up to Gurney Drive.

It was a sunny sunny day. EXTREMELY hot too!

Upon arriving we met up with another coursemate who's from Penang. After that we went straight to the Kelawai entrance of the Plaza where the event was held.

The competition barely started. First to commenced was the interviewing section where cosplayers were interviewed by panel judges about the reason they chose their characters to cosplay, I think? Bout how long did it take to make the costumes, how the cosplayers connect to the characters they're potraying etc etc.

Serious stuff.

Prince of Tennis. Tezuka & Ryoma.

Off-stage cosplayer with Vocaloid magnet headphones. *heart eyes*

Gintama. Shinsengumi guy what's-his'name-already.

Lovely Megurine Luke cosplay (Vocaloid). Terrible photo quality cuz I zoomed in a lot

Soul Eater. Cutesy petite cosplayer of Maka. I can'tz hear she speaks Engrishz. But enthusiastically explains about her cosplay in Mandarin.

Posing section. Her finale post is.... sticks out tongue and salute!!!

For the love of cosplay, I cannot catch what they were saying.

Then halfway through the event, judge Kanda Yuu went missing and....

a suspicious good-looking character appears! A cosplayer of Trinity Blood's Dietrich.



walked into the stage area and then................!
performed 'Arigatou' song from Kyou Kara Maou anime!!!

Ah the missing judge. Switched costumes ever so swiftly. So professional.

Then it was break time before moving on to the next section, so we went to have lunch.


Afterall the 5 of us rushed from the campus to Gurney without eating beforehand.

Much camwhore sessions in the restaurant.

Mushroom soup with pudding-like semi-solid texture!!!!

Kimchi.

Honeydew and ice-cream

Char sio puffs.

We spent like nearly two hours in that restaurant. When we walked back to Kelawai entrance we were so devastated that the event has ended! Poof. GONE. No one was on stage and not even in the vicinity!!! Chairs and tables and DJ equipments were even cleared off. Except there was still Maka cosplayer there.
Damn. Didn't get to take pictures with them.
Miku Hatsuneeeeeeeeeeee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.T gargh.

DISSATISFIED.

So there's nothing much we could do but to walk around have a look. There was a M.A.C cosmetic roadshow, promoting their new "Tartan Tale Collection".

Pro models were there. Unmatchable height!!!!!

Dashing male model. Even looks good with his photo taken eyes closed wtf.

Ends with a memorable group photo in ladies room before going home.
