so the emina cosplay competition finally came and went. it was way better than the first cosplay event (which in my opinion was really a rush job, no offence, but it was that bad). there's still a lot of improvements to be made, if there will be another one in the future. this time however, there were more audiences but not much could be said about the people who competed in the cosplay competition. maybe mmu students are too shy, or maybe they are not exposed to cosplay yet. and the crowd was so DEAD. i don't deny that there wasn't much interesting things to watch during the event but when i, as a mc tried to interact with the audiences, i was given cold shoulders. i mean...come on, even a good mc won't be able to make the event an interesting one if the crowd is mute!

speaking on mc-ing, yup, yours truly was the mc along with alisa. it was my first time being a mc since studying at mmu. i've tried mc-ing a couple of times during secondary school, but still i'm afraid i won't be able to perform well. some of my friends who attended the event said my voice was not strong enough. i don't think i performed well during the event either. nevertheless, alisa was a great partner! oh yeah, both of us got into the cosplay spirit as well! she dressed up as utena from the anime revolutionary girl utena while i cosplayed as ebisu sensei from the anime naruto. some said i looked weird in that costume, while some said i was exactly like that character. i only decided to cosplay the night before the actual event and was quite satisfied with the result. felt like a superstar when there were so many people asking to take pictures of/with me. those camera flashes.... *grins*

a tiring but quite enjoyable day...
