arrived at campus around 11am again. the booths were already up and running when i got there :D
stuck around to watch the wasabi eating competition. it looked torturous to me Dx didn't catch the name of the winner but kudos to him/her. skipped lunch today Dx
heard from Quist that the college turned off the central air-conditioning system and didn't allow usage of any classroom for the PS3 games competition Dx fortunately, the organizing committee came up with a solution: USE THE STAGE 8D a bunch of club members pulled up one of the white partitions to the stage and we used that as the backdrop for the projector 8D the PS3 was set up and we ran some demo games before the actual competition started :D at first, they were playing Dynasty Warriors 6 but they switched to Soul Caliber 4 (coz that's the game used for the competition). we opened the demo to the public so anyone could play/test out the game.
then it was time for the competition to start. the eventual winner was JC, a friend of Quist :) it was actually a close competition between JC and Sam (aka the owner of the PS3 & former president of KDU PJ's anime club) but JC prevailed :D besides, Sam had already won the Street Fighter 4 competition yesterday 8D
unfortunately, due to the unforeseen problem with the PS3 competition, the event schedule was delayed by two hours Dx next was the karaoke competition preliminaries oTZ it's a good thing Yuiko 'accompanied' me as part of the panel of judges :P
there were 6 contestants altogether. the eventual winner was Matrika Sasha from Equator Academy of Art \(^_^)/ her voice sent goosebumps all over my body 8D she was that good :D
after that was the cosplay competition. there were more contestants today compared to yesterday :D although, some of the contestants were the same ones from yesterday Dx
~ Archer [Fate/Stay Night]
~ Dante [Devil May Cry]
~ Shana [Shakugan no Shana]
~ Suzumiya Haruhi [Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu]
~ Train Heartnet [Black Cat]
~ Hinamori Amu [Shugo Chara]
~ gothic lolita
~ Sohma Akito [Fruits Basket]
~ Uchiha Itachi [Naruto]
the Itachi cosplayer came with an incomplete costume although she had the katana, hitae ate and contact lenses Dx the Haruhi and goth loli were the same ones from yesterday. the Archer cosplayer is someone i knew through Yee Mun xD he was pretty nervous on stage though Dx and i got a rose from the Dante cosplayer XD
the -Best Cosplayer Award- winner was Sohma Akito and the -Best Dressed Award- winner was the gothic lolita (coz she 'upgraded' her look xD). my
and that wraps up ICHIbanzai '09 \(^_^)/
