it's been long time, since my last post ^^
I'm so busy to make a new post, because i must to prepare everything to enter the university -__-
so....... now, I want to share my experience when I'm coming to AFA ID 2014
before going to AFA ID 2014, I'm so doubt I can come or not, hahahaha, and I remembered that I must to queue for 3 hours to get the ticket last year -_- ( because of that, I'm lazy to get to AFA ID 2014 )
but..............
something special happened in my life...............
I WON FREE TICKET FOR AFAID 2014 !!! (and not just 1, but 3 tickets, hahahaha)
I got this ticket from the quiz on Twitter ( Fruit Tea ^^)
OWWWW, I'M so Glad when I got news about it from my twitter ( thanks GOD, thanks Goddess, thanks Buddha ^^, and thanks to my mom who allowed me to going to AFA ^^)
and now, I will tell you all about my unforgettable experience on AFA ID 2014
This year, I'm not going to AFA ID alone, but I'm going to there with my highschool friend (she was Illen that also went with me at CLAS:H Grand Final)
so, Illen and me going to JCC (Jakarta Convention Centre) at 8.00 a.m. , and we arrived at JCC at 8.45 a.m
after that, we looked many people come to AFA ID, that's crowded -_-
because we know that the exhibition will open at 9.00 a.m. , we are going to get our free ticket ( Illen got free ticket too) as soon as possible at Fruit Tea booth.
After find the Fruit Tea booth, we were queue to get it for around 15 minutes, and....Voila!!! we get ittt
so, after got the tickets, we were going to enter the exhibition , but....... when we found the entry gate, we saw there was a very very long queue in front the gate >_< wowwww, so, because of that , we were walking to queue , hahahaha
this is the long queue, hahaha... it tooks 1 hour to enter the AFA ID
we met Illen's friend named Kris when we were queued
so, we decided to explore the AFA ID together
now......................we were entered the AFA ID ^^
it is so crowded in there -_- we were going to the toilet first, cause I need to change my clothes with my Astharoshe costume. After wearing the make up, wig, and the costume, we were going aroun the exhibition (hall) of AFA ID. Illen and Kris were took a photo of cosplayers,action figure, and other interesting things around the hall.
There is something different on this AFA , that is many spg and spb that give flyer and brochure to the visitors.
and... the crew of this AFA ID is more than the last year, it is very helpfull to the visitors, cause we can easily ask for help to the crew.
Movie screening list
Me as Astahroshe Asran , hwhwhwhw :3
After going around, We searched a place that not crowded to take a rest for a while....
so, we found place in food dining area near the AFA Cafe. This area is really helpfull for the visitors to take a rest and of course to eat (this is the poin plus for this AFA ID i think)
So...after eat ( just me, because Kris and Illen didn't eat) I and Illen were going to the creators hub to search some doujin,sticker,badge,or key chain that I like.
AFA ID 2014 use 2 hall for this year, first hall was filled with the booth that sell original merchandise, sponsor, and many products from Japan, and for the next hall was used as a place of AFA CAFE, Creator Hub, food dining area, cosplayer area, mini stage,and also anime wonderland and Canon booth.
At the mini stage, we can see the guest cosplayer ( at that time I see Kisaki Urumi, Pinky, and Ying Tze if I'm not wrong, cause I can see it clearly, it isso crowded -_-)
Beside that, we also can enjoy the DJ perform on Sony Booth ( it is very good ^^, I like the DJ performance, especially when they played Attack On Titan opening song and Let it Go from Frozen , most people in this hall were sing together ^^ )
So, after take a rest and buy something at Creator Hub, we are going to the first hall to take a picture again. After that, we are going to AFA Shop to buy some merchandise ( me and Illen have a plan to get meet and greet with Hana and Baozi, hahaha, but when we know that we must to buy their merchandise minimum 150.000 idr, we give up, hahahaha.....), I want to buy HanaBao poster and Kris want to buy YingTze merchandise (he is her fan ^^)
When we are in queue, something unforgettable happened
There are BAOZI and HANA in AFA SHOP!
WOWWWWWWWWWWW, HOW LUCKY I AM!!!!! :3
when we hear some girls yelling , Kris and Illen ran to get therir photo, and I....i'm just can stayin my position , because we are in queue -_-, but not take a long time Kris come back, and I'm running to get their photo too. It is hard to get it, because there was many girls that taller than me stand in front of me, but there is a god woman that allowed me to get their picture from her position ( uohhh, thank you mam ^^, how kind you are )
ARGHHHHHHHHHH, Baozi-san are so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee, and HANA-san are so coolllllllllllll, I like both of them ><
after their appearanced, a crew of AFA SHOP open a special queue to buy their merchandise and can get handshake and take their picture from near, hahaha, so after hear that I ran to that row (as the last person, hahaha)
when I queued, the security beside me ask us ( me and a girl that take their picture )
Secutity: Dek, ini pasangan cowo cewe yah? (miss, are they a couple, boy and girl?)
Me :....(keep silent cause I'm confused to explain it,hahaha)
Girl : mmmm, dua duanya cowo pak (they are boys sir)
Security: Cowo??? jadi....itu dong (Boy???so, they are....) (the security was laughing after that ><)
Girl:mmmm, gitu de pak, hahaha (mmmm, yeah....hahaha)
Hahahaha, yeah, event they are.....(piip) but I'm still love their cosplay, their so totally as cosplayer and so skillfull (and also handsome, but sometimes pretty, hahaha, especially Hana :3)
and...after waiting for around 15 minutes, there is my chance to meet them and buy their merchandise, cause I don't have enough money to buy their photobook, I'm decided to buy their Kurobas poster ( I must to hide it from my fam , hahahahaha)
After paid and get the exchange, I got shakehand with them, and said "Xie Xie Ni", and they answer me, hahahaha, (love BAOZI smile ^^, and HANA too, finally he smile, so sweet HANA ^^)
After finish at AFA SHOP, we decided to going home , because we were so tired, hahaha
I think, this is really the unforgettable AFA ID that i ever come
and there are some plus poin of this AFA (+):
1. There are many crew that we can ask (some of them hold a board "ask ME" )
2. The row of the queue is good, not like last year
3. There is food dining area, so we have a place to eat our food, not like last year, that we must to sit on the floor or under the stairs and other narrow space -_-
4. There are more food and beverages stand than the last year
5.The Dj perform really entertain
6. There is more variated booth than before ^^
7.More guest cosplayer than before
I hope the next AFA ID will be better than this year, especially about the ticket selling, queue, guest , booth, exhibitor, and also the place.
That's my experience of AFA ID 2014 , next, I have a plan tocoming to POPCON, Battle of the toys, and Hellofest, hope I can come to there , and I have a wish , that is, coming to AFA SG, hahahaha, I must to save money from now, hohoho, but Imust to finish my Ayanami (07 ghost)costume before.
and.... see you on the next post ^^
