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

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.

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
