Late post is late :(
Long post is long :(
Xue Ni decided that we should meet earlier to hang out before the main event tonight at 8pm. She also offered to bake cake at her house :D The meeting time was supposed to be 2pm but then... I met her at 3pm+ at Anchorage Cold Storage to get some cake ingredients and also for her to get her lunch.
At Xue Ni's house, while waiting for her to eat finish, I saw this book she borrowed, "用不织布做甜点小小饰物". Using felt cloths to make desserts plushie things xD! So I decided to try it out, with Xue Ni's guidance of course... I don't know to read Chinese :\ I started on a Japanese dessert. Not sure what's the name but there stated as 玉兔.
Drew out the patterns on a piece of paper and cut out the shapes according on felt.
The colours are according to what I want and not the actual colour of the dessert.
Here is the completed work :)
After all that sewing and stuffing of cotton.
Here is the bottom which is super ugly!!
I need more practice :\ Luckily it's at the bottom... :X
Then... we can finally start on the cake! Chose the baked cheese cake because it's the easiest and the fastest to do xD! Only 20mins to make and another 30mins to bake in the oven :3 And the recipe is also in Chinese :\
The ingredients~
Mixing and blending them together.
I love using the mixer-blender thingy :X
Pop it into the oven :)
While waiting for it to bake... I decided to make another felt nonsense xD This time is a burnt gingerbread man.
Patterns cut out already.
This is like so much easier than the rabbit :P
And the cheesecake is done!
(By the way, it tasted really good ;P)
And oops! We were running late! 7pm and we were still at home. I left some of my stuffs at her house, including the cake. Thinking that the concert will not end too late then I can go back to pick up my stuffs and go home. Took a bus to Bukit Merah Interchange and just nice we missed bus16 xD! So we decided to take a taxi to the Singapore Indoor Stadium instead. $$$ :\ And phew, luckily we took the taxi down, if not we are gonna be so late!
Went through the North entrance and walked around before going to find our seats. Oh! We signed up for the SIS Star Pass Membership for freeee and we got a Dragonica poster as well :3 from the IAH booth(?) there.

Tickets :)
The Star Pass membership comes with this pretty chain
and they will mail us our pass card as well.
This is what we have been waiting for!! :D
Found our seats at Section T and began taking pictures before the concert starts. My view wasn't very good as the spotlights are blocking parts of the screens. But then it's alright, there were 3 screens.
Haha xD Playing with Xue Ni's iPhone neoprint function.
The stage...
People settling down.
When the concert started, the first event was actually the judging of the Cosplay competition. My friend, Aim who cosplayed as a Patapon, won!!! He won $1500 worth of cosplay vouchers from Costasia. Wow... Anyway the lights were switched off and the actual concert began! I'll now stated the songs that were played and whatever happened in order. Hopefully I didn't get it wrong :X
- Medley of songs from the old Sega games like Space Invaders
- Metal Gear Solid
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Picking someone from the audience to come out to play Space Invaders
- Diablo 3
- Tron
- 10 Final Fantasy songs played on piano like To Zanarkand and Eyes on Me
- Metroid
- The Legend of Zelda
- Kingdom Hearts
- World of Warcraft
- ::20mins break::
- Metal Gear Solid 3 opening theme
- Super Mario Brothers
- Martin Leung playing Super Mario Brothers on the piano blindfolded!
- Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross
- Guitar Hero Competition
- Halo 1, 2 & 3
- Final Fantasy 7 - One-Winged Angel
- Castlevania
When the lights turned off, the conductor stepped on to the stage.
The part during the MSG performance was playing, the enemy and a cardboard box came up on stage. The enemy even have the alert mode!! xD It was so funny. After the next song was played, it was revealed that the person in the cardboard box was the host of VGL. He came out and shrugged, saying "Well, someone have to do it and I'm short enough." xD
The part where the host picked a person from the audience to come out on stage to complete a stage of Space Invaders in 2mins and he will give the person a Katana game machine(?) that has over 5000 of the old games. The host passed him a shirt to wear that acts like an detector. He himself will be the spaceship and have to move on the stage to control the spaceship movement. Sadly, he didn't manage to win :( But also he gets to walk away with consolation prizes like a copy of the Space Invader game so that he can practice :X
Aww, I really like the black shirt at the far left. It costs $35!! D:
Anyway during the break, everyone was asked to fill up a lucky draw form to win a NDS lite.
A girl named Sandy won it. Lucky.
The composer of the MSG3 opening theme even played his saxophone during this performance.
Super Mario Brothers - One of my favourite! :D
Martin Leung, the guy who played Super Mario Brothers song on the piano blindfolded!
He also played the Final Fantasy medley and Tetris songs too (not blindfolded) but it was amazing! He plays like a robot O_O
During Chrono Trigger/Cross, the conductor stopped conducting halfway and picked up his guitar to play along too xD
Guitar Hero Competition,
only that the song is not played by the game but by the orchestra and the host's electric guitar.
They played Sweet Emotion(?) at Expert mode with Hyperspeed on.
Player one won! Congrats! xD
After Halo songs, they tricked us by saying the concert is over and left the stage. The audience kept chanting "Encore, encore." They came up the stage again and the host told us that during concerts, the audience would wave lightsticks and stuff. But this is the 21st century, so everyone took out their handphones, NDS and PSP to wave! xD That's why the lights are all in different colours and sizes.
Omg!~ I really love the FF7 One-Winged Angel performance!
Cosplayers FTW!! :D
Aww, then the VGL concert really came to an end.
The concert was really well done!!! I totally enjoyed it. This is the best video game concert I have been to. $59.50 was well spent! I didn't regret going for it :D However, they will didn't have to play 3 Halo songs... One will be enough. Really. :X
At 11pm+, we made our way out to the bus stop to take bus16, the only bus that comes here... So you can imagine those people without cars, all squeezing their way up the bus. Horrifying. And woah, I didn't expect the concert to end this late! All my stuffs are at Xue Ni's house and I have to collect them if not, there will not be chance anymore D: Seldom meet her up, you see...
Once we reached Bukit Merah Interchange, no buses were operating anymore. Xue Ni suggested that I should stay over at her house for a night. So I called my mama and she said it was okay to do so. So we walked all the way to her house. It was so fun to stayover at her house :D She helped me paint my fingernails and toenails as well xD We lied on the bed and talked nonsense all the way to 5am.

I finally collected my cap that I bought online from her :3
$21.90, I think.

Woke up at around 11am++. Argh! I was late! Said my thanks, gathered my stuff and rushed home to wash up and changed. Thank you Xue Ni for letting me stayover and lending me your clothes for the night! :) Anyway, I was suppose to meet Joshua at 2pm at Khabit. He is going to help repair my cousin's desktop. And I only reached there at 3pm+. Sorry Joshua!!! :( The desktop was a complete mess... The Windows was not activated. So many problems occurred. Like no internet, can't enter into Windows to install and activate the wireless adapter. I have to go there again to reinstall Windows T_T... So far... Thank you Joshua for coming down and trying to help in solving the problem.
My youngest cousin, WeiQi and Joshua, WeiRen.
