National Day is around the Corner & speedknight.com is heeding the call to live live our dreams,fly our flag, anime style.So here is a anime adaption of the Singapore city skyline and the state flag in the background from setokai no ichizion ...XD.

And also....ORD LOH! Looking back it has been a bittersweet journey for me,full of ups and downs. Just 2 years ago today i was here in my room packing my bag for BMT. I can never forget BMT although my was modified BMT as i was PES C back then....road marches,live firing,field camp they all left a very deep impression in me.After that I got posted to Khatib Fitness and Conditioning Center as ASA,eventually holding a key appointment. I would say i gained quite abit of experience from it.Finally after being through all that another chapter of my life ended.I have just embarked on another chapter of my life and looking forward to it.

    

Just barely one week after Cosfest IX,Lets make friends. The Singapore Cosplay Club brings another Cosplay Convention at this year's TGX/WCG 2010.

This year the TGX/WCG 2010 has switched to its new venue at Singapore Expo from its previous year location of the Suntec convention center.The event

itself is a 3 days event being held from the 9-11 July. with Cosplayer attending the Cos-con Day 1 and Day 2 on the 10th and the 11th respectively. But due

to personal commitments i am able to bring you day 1 coverage only,sorry for that.

Cosfest 9 theme was let make friends,and boy it was indeed that case.
Happening for the 9th year running,this yearly event at downtown east,
is one that you should not miss! Besides Cosplay competitions , there is also
Anime Karaoke competition and Anime Games world music competition where
musical talents can showcased their ability to entertain the crowd.The turnout was
good especially on Day 2 where the main Cosplay competitions are held,also on Day 2
the Singapore winds orchestra youth winds played several pieces of music including the
orchestral version of Carmelldanse which i dance to,haha it was epic, one row was photog
and the other was cosplayers we were line up right infront of where the travel booth was and facing each other "carmelldanse-ing" our hearts out.

Words of thanks:
Soon and his family for letting me stay over at his place.
Nutcase and gang whom i joined in the dinner with on the 1st day.
J2meepok who loan me his loaned 70-200 f2/8  and i really had fun with it.
Gordon who loan me his helmet and ionicle88 who took my picture above.
Fellow photogs and bloggers who attended the events and in the process promoted this sub culture.
The cosplayers who put in so much effort and accepted my request to shoot them by posing.
The organizers who made these possible.

Last but not least,its great to see families enjoying the event too,there were families who went there to support their family members who are cosplaying,(also spotted a few kids cosplaying and even a auntie IIRC). Curious passing by families enjoying themselves and mingle around,taking photos of themselves and/with the Cosplayers.

A photo shoot with HWZ EDMW toy collectors,this album also contain several random
shots also as i was playing with a Nikkor 60mm marco that i loan from my friend.
we attracted lots of attention there, apparently there were this few group of young teens
having excursion,they were awe by our toys and came into our area and started shooting our toys too.Even the tour guides or teachers who led them around joined in the fun along with other park goers.I guess there was something for them to awe even more,there is why is this group of uncles
being so fascinated by these toys XD...link to picture after the break...

For otacool 1, I  do not have tons of toys too show off i am just having a tiny collection.
For otacool 2,I am not a cosplayer so is out of the question
Then came otacool 3,something which is much more related and i decided to go for a try.

so head over to danny choo's figure.fm to find out more!
