Axis Power Hetalia Day: Singapore!

*EDIT: New video added XD !!!!

The Singapore’s APH Day event have ended today and it was awesome! Gin and I had a lot of fun participating in the missions xD

I didn’t participate in the APH day event last year but I had a lot of fun at the event this year. Kudos, to the organising committee for finding such an awesome location that is not only air conditioned but also very accessible (3 minutes walk from MRT !). I also love how they painstakingly designed so many interactive activities for event attendees to take part in. The games and missions stuck very closely to the APH Theme so they are not only relevant but also informative (at least to a non History student and non Hetalia fan like myself xD. Hey, I found out that Sealand is a micro nation!)

 

Absolutely kawaii USA and UK plushies in a cup!! I think it is the official stuff.

One of my biggest grip with the commercial events these days is the lack of interaction and entertainment for the event attendees. Seems like only fan based events like these really cater to the needs of fans.

My Mission card/ Passport! Look at how Sticker cluttered it is xD  I’m so hardworking !

The organising committee designed a passport like this to be given to every event attendee. Written on the card are the event rules and instructions to start the mission. The actual missions itself are not written on it and it’s our duty to find the individual ‘countries’ to get our mission. Every time you complete a mission you get a sticker from that country. We had a lot of fun running around, bothering all the different cosplayers. Much thanks to all of them for entertaining us ^_^

I took videos most part of the day so my photo selections aren’t that fabulous. But pimping some of them first before I get the Videos out (if I ever get it out @_@).

The APH Cosplayers! Love how fun loving all of them are. Apologies for the poor quality of the photos, these are all stills from the video I took. Personally I think they all look really natural and cute here xD

Hungary evil laughing while telling us her mission xD

 

France photo bombing and showing off his amazing beard xD

America san(aka Farmer Dan) getting overwhelmed by his fans LOL

 

Booth merchandises! The stuffs were all so cute (and expensive T_T). I bought some stuffs to give you guys so stay tuned ^_^!

    

Some awesome talent and humor shown on the Graffiti wall XD          

There were quite a few (4 in total me thinks) game booth at the event. This booth is mended by China. As you can tell from the pictures, its similar to “Pin the tail to the Donkey” but APH China Hello Kitty Flavored xD That’s Russia playing by the way xD

  

The other 2 games at the event. The “Hetalia Trivia” and “Mochii Harvest”.

The Hetalia Trivia was a quiz game that quizzes us about World History and Hetalia trivia and we totally sucked at it xD The Mochii harvest was really cute with all tediously made Mochii heads. You basically get three tries with the Mochii harvest and if you managed to scoop a minimum of 2 Hetalia character heads out, you win. But some weird nonsense were also thrown into the basket as decoys.

 

LOL?!??!?!??!?!

yes, I know xD.

 

The cafe. Didn’t get any decent picture of it because I was too lazy =X

     

 

 

The Karaoke sessions that just randomly grabbed the staffs up to sing. Yep, it was an American Hero Concert xD

And Dan if you’re reading this, don’t freak out at these pictures. These are just stills *evil grins* =)

Hurhurhur....

These kids were so cute! In fact the entire family was SO CUTE! The mom came dressed up as America and another lady with them dressed as England! I wish my mom was as cute xD

 
*points at Korea, Russia, China on the top* XD 

 

Sadly, Gin and I missed the group photo by like 2 minutes because we went out for a very late lunch. But at least I caught the Cosplayer’s group photo =)

 

Will be giving most of these away. Stay tuned xD

“ Bianco Sweets Cafe you say?
Yes we have officially merged the Hetalia Cafe (that has been lurking around for a rather long time ahahaha) with APH Day this year so as a side attraction to the actual celebrations you’ll be able to sit down and have a leisure chat with the countries serving as waiters and waitresses OvO!
… of course, I’ll leave more details about the cafe to the Cosplayer Crew and the Cafe Team to disclose. C:

As for what’s going on for the day itself, it’s the usual mix-and-mingle for Hetalia fans with game booths and activities going round the whole day! Bring along a sketchbook and exchange books with fellow artists, come along in cosplay, sit around and contemplate the meaning of life (!?)…”

Remember to check out the official website to keep up with all the updates! Also check out Songster’s Behind-The-Scene writeup, its filled with lovely photos I know you’ll enjoy fufufufu.

I’m not a APH fan but this event sure has given me some motivation and excuse to continue watching beyond 2 episode of APH! And I’m definitely going to the cafe to show my utmost support to the organiser, maid and butlers!

Anyone of you going ^_^?

Axis Power Hetalia!

Gin pimped me a video of these awesome Hetalis cosplayers! I really love how they incorporated the banners into the performance. The banner really brought climax and depth to the performance xD

Especially for a series like Hetalia where there are so many characters interacting in a comedic way xD My own fault finding would be the slightly long duration. I have short concentration span so I prefer short bits ;D

Anyone has any idea where this performance was held? Judging from all the chinese characters used at the stage area I can corner it down to either China, Taiwan or Hong Kong. My biggest bet is China but prove me wrong if I am xD
