AFA 2009

//EDITTED

The Opening Acts for the I Love AniSong concert.


The maids of Maid Cafe. Queen Bee's surprisingly missing!


Honestly, I couldn't believe that he actually dared to walk around like that??!! I wonder how much he got paid to do so. It better be worth his pride and humiliation.



The sexiest cosplayer I say during the 2-day show.

The latest talk in town just ended its 2-day run at Suntec Convention Hall on Sunday. For those who are (still) living under a rock, AFA stands for Anime Festival Asia, and this is the second year it’s in town. Except that this year, it’s back bigger and better than the previous year! So Anime fans had a good treat over the weekend.

I happen to land my hands on complimentary tickets, and both an AFA crew pass and an Organiser pass! This year, the crowd came reaaaally early and while the main entrance opens at 10am officially for public, the queue had already stretched 2 Halls down at 9am that day! I walked around the huge hall and was I surprised! Popular brand Bandai took up a large area of space selling its latest goods straight from Japan and I was so tempted to get its new Tamagotchi (Colored Edition) even though its functions are in Japanese. But here’s the catch: It costs a hefty S$109 for that cute little gadget. Thus it concluded my dream of getting one step closer to being a kawaii doll.

Tatsunoko Productions were also there fresh from Japan two days before, with Mr President of the Company and 3 other staffs. Their products are officially THE CUTEST I’ve seen so far, featuring Akubi Girls. Also, OIO Frozen Yoghurt had a booth selling their yummilicious yoghurt, which was a treat as its new stall has yet opened. (It opens in Vivocity in December) So remember to catch it when it’s out!

I don’t know where else to start from, as there’s just SO many exciting stuff. I’ll be gathering the images of the I LOVE ANISONG CONCERT (It costs a whooping $100ish for a day-pass), Cosplayers, and the Maid Café, where guys flock to without any pride and dignity. Hh, and also of a certain (annoying and not hot) maid of the Maid Café, who got into a spat with the Organiser of the Event. I say she deserves it!

Meanwhile, stay tuned to this blog, as the gossip girl will tell you what else is (or was) hot and what's not!


Xoxo, gossip girl.

  1. Wonderful introduction to AFA09, and to the world of Japanese Anime! They really do have an intricate culture of toys and comics, and it's good to know that Tamagotchis are still around in this "PSP/Nintendo DS" generation!
    I totally agree with you on the Maid Cafe and guys losing their dignity part too, how distasteful!
