Didn't notice i was part of this blog too, huh?
Its about time i said my version of Supernova. Can't let Nhi have all the glory, ay? LoL
I loved Supernova! I got these really cutesy figurines and a HUGE plastic Gloomey Bear :D Costed me all my savings but in the end it was worth it...i think :S
***This is Gloomey bear!***
***I love it so much!***
Nhi went NUTS over this PININ store. Spent over $200! I am awed. She's so lucky she's working @@ Get to spend like she just don't care. On the other hand, i went berserk over the TAMARKET store which sold anime figurines, toys and other merch! I spent far too much for my own good too ~~ Its so funny. She's crazy over designer toys and I'm head over heals for anime figurines! Check it out!
***The PININ store. Note: You may recognise some photos from Nhi's version too***
***The TAMARKET store***
***These are the stuff i bought!***
***And so far my favourite is...***
***They're so cute they even CAST fat shadows!! "gasp"***
Honestly those toys are damn cute! I can't wait till another geek convention arrives I'm so saving lots of money for it!
Oh did i mention I met SONIC in the flesh!? "Plush" flesh might I add. Ahh I wonder who was in there...Very big and it was so much fun! Here I'll show you:
***Sonic and Me!***
So on the first day of the convention, it was a set-up day. We arrived and the doors were locked from the outside. Not to mention there were rows of tinted glass doors that lined the entire one side of the building. Nhi pushed on each one, trying to pretend we didn't look like imbociles trying to get in. There were also people that were INSIDE and didn't help us. Thank you for watching us. Throughout the whole day we were packing thousands of showbags. Running out of items was common and one of us (we were in roughly groups of 6 or so) would run and steal more stuff off other people's tables and showbags, Lol. It was pointless anyhow. I mean in the end the bags would all be put together. Not like we were gonna get trophies for packing the most bags or having the best bags. It was a mental problem. It wasn't rational at all. But it was funny! I had my lesson of show-bagging O_o. And then the organiser came up and asked for two people that could come and help out the "screening" room. Nhi and I both shot up and asked if we could. We got the job! ;)
That night was a preview night and we were escorting "patrons" to the proper seats, telling people to stay away from the exits, keep the "emergency path" clear and generally baby sitting people and yelling at them to go to the ground floor bathroom rather than the second floor bathroom. Nhi greeted the guests at the mouth of the stairs and I guided them to their seats answering any questions they had i.e. "where's the starwars screening going to show?" or "whats happening up here?" or "wheres the toilets?" and the oh too common "can i have one of them guides?". That was a question that constantly popped up for me. They all wanted a peice of my guide. So i told them to hold on and that I'd try to get them some. I knew there were some left at the show-bagging area and asked if Nhi could run down and get a few.She did better; she brought a whole STACK! Go on ya girl!
Started giving them out to the people that asked me for them before. I was rather overwhelmed by the people asking for directions and other questions. Some were friendly and chit-chatted to me about anime and what they love and heaps of other stuff! Its really easy to get along with people who love what you love :) No matter how old they are. Then the screening ended too soon. It was one of the best shifts! Even though we repeated the same stuff over the next few days, the best was this first day ^^=b
Then the second day came...
Woke up at 5:55am and started to get ready for Nhi to come and pick me up via taxi at 6:30am. It was soooooooo COLD! And soooooooo dark! Ergh, if it wasn't for the fact that Nhi was going to be there, i wouldn't have had the will to get up. Thanks Nhi :)
***This is me trying to stay warm on day three (mind you, my arms are tucked in with my stomach. Thats not fat thats all lumpy-like :S***
***My ass was gonna drop off. The cold floor did NOT help AT ALL***
Had an ID badge and shirt too! See?
***Me***
***My badge! and pass ^^***
***Nhi and I both got the same BLEACH hat! yippeee! I look hip! (cough cough)***
Finally it was time to go home. I am so going back to Supernova again. But I'm pretty sure not as a volunteer but a "patron" for real ;)
Bye bye!

LoL and you jst had to step back while I was trying to get in, I looked like a complete douche bag.
It was too cold! by the time I got to ur house it was getting brighter, it was pitch black at my house when I was waiting for the taxi :S
and you are totally welcome, I'm always waking you up at such desirable times :p
Man I would feel so much better if I was paid more to work, trust me I earn jst enough to catch the train to work :S SO I pretty much over spent at Supanova.
I like the figurines you bought (and for the record I have no idea why I made you buy the whole box of keyrings, I went temporarily insane ~~)
gah showbags...if I see or hear someone say "shaving cream" again, I WILL shoot them!o_O
Next geek-fest SMASH! woo here we come!
