Comic Fiesta 2009 (Cosplayer's Catacombs)

It's been a Great Year for cosplaying. I re-started the passion after a few months hiatus. I started cosplaying in 2008, but I felt i wasn't prepared enough and I took a break and came back doing a few Original Characters. When I felt I was ready... I took the jump and continued cosplaying.

I have no regrets in continuing this passion and it all lead to the tipping point of the year which was Comic Fiesta 2009. The stage till the halls outside were filled with cosplayers who share the same passion. I'm not gonna lose out on this...

My journey this year... has led till this point...

C2AGE 09- Let me show you

Animangaki 09- The Rise and Fall

GACC 09- Darkness knows no End

Comic Fiesta 2009 (Competitor's Chronicles)

Over 20 contestants on one stage battling it out for the title. To win the prestigious Comic Fiesta Solo Competition Championship. Said to be the toughest competition of the year as it test a cosplayer's creativity and skill on stage and with the amount of participants involved, it is no easy game and only the best 8 are able to move on to the final round.

I registered myself when the registration opened, only to find that I was the 1st one there...

Me: Am I the 1st?
Karie: Yeap you are
Me: I'll come back later
Karie: *drags me back* Noo... sign now
Me: Damn...

Not far behind me were the other contestants... why did I go 1st... >.<

The contestants lined up and met for the briefing at 12.30PM. We were told what to do and soon, it was time to head off to the stage. The judges took their place and the fight was on

Step Forward... Warriors of the Day

I was up 1st... With a smile and a rose, The Stage was mine...

The contestants are given one minute in the 1st round to deliver a performance to wow the crowd and judges. The crowd was wild, the judges had their eyes focused and soon...

It was time to fight

The top 8 were chosen later that day and the 2nd round soon began. Each contestant are given a topic and a random object and they have to deliver a skit with that topic and object. I was lucky enough to make it to the top 8 along with Alex Mercer, Alice, Taikobou, the Trinity Blood cosplayer, Kirin, Hunter 1 and Garland.

My skit topic Stalking and my prop was a RM 10 note... and we have 20 mins to prepare the skit ^^"

Well.... enjoy my skit



Doing this skit was way fun for me... and from this whole experience, I met new friends and gain new rivals. I may have lost this time, but I gained something more important... I tried my best and I walk away with no regrets... but I promise, I'll come back stronger next year

Two is better than One

Comic Fiesta Day 2 (Suoh Tamaki's Host Report)

Trying my hardest to put a smile on the faces of my customers is what I live for. Seeing them smirk from the edge of their lips, holding on to their breathe as they try not to laugh and seeing the joy in their eyes.... That is what I live for as a Host... no... The Host King.

Shall we dance, Mademoiselle?

Comic Fiesta Day 2 was even more impressive than day 1... the costume details, the cosplayers, the beauty of the event... it was majestic till, breath-taking even... I stand in awe at all the gorgeous costumes and I envy the effort some put in to their work, but I have my skills as well... not in my props or costume... it's my heart as a Host.

The agenda for the day was to make some smiles as well as the solo competition, but let's talk more on the host business (Before Kyouya kills me)

Tamaki's Gallery: My customers for the Day

It's so nice to serve you

Just for a smile

What do you wish for?

Sweet Memories

My best customer, Mio from K-On came to visit XP

Day 2 was a blast for this Host, tiring... but enjoyable. I'm glad to be able to serve all of you.. and if you still have my rose (kept it till it withered), I thank you for holding me close to your heart, either as a friend, family or host.

Well... it's time for me to take my leave... My competition is starting
