140516 Meet and Greet

so on the first day, we were supposed to have rehearsal and set up our stuff from 11am onwards. it was quite a shock to see the place, really. it was non-aircon and the stage was much smaller than cosfest. kind of expected, but perhaps not the hotness. would have thought that they'll be decent enough to install some aircon for the poor cosplayers, but guess not.

so... since we didn't bring over most of our things, we decided to tape up a background bought from taobao, and set up some mock stands - both of which didn't come to any use eventually. lol.

while waiting for our turn to rehearse, we went on interviews with the local newspaper over phone. it was so hot, we had to walk over to marina link mall to be able to talk decently. we weren't even in our costumes yet for goodness sake.
at night, we were brought over to novena square for a Meet and Greet session.

wise choice for Kasumi, who had to skip this thing due to his japanese lessons. we had to basically change and make up in the public toilet (it felt like some rush for time in a reality show btw), in our sweaty state, and be introduced to the small little crowd. then entertain them with clownish games. so here's some photo spams~
