STGCC 2014 Day 1

I attended the Singapore Toys, Games & Comics Convention (6-7 September) today at Marina Bay Sands and this marks my very first visit to the annual event. It's kind of like the Asian version of Comic-Con (it's the event's collaboration partner btw), and here's where East (anime) meets West (DC/Marvel). I've been meaning to go for the past few years but I usually forgot about it. I couldn't afford to forget this year's though. Especially today's. Reason?

SUGITA.

TOMOKAZU.

To be honest I almost gave up on attending the event today cos no one was free to accompany me. I was distraught since I'd woken up early (early as in not my usual waking time which is usually between 9.30-10.30am lol) and there were complications and some of my family members changing their minds about going so I eventually left the house at 1.30pm (special thanks to my uncle who offered to drive us there on the way to his in-laws' house) :'D My family's the type who doesn't allow me to go to many places without someone accompanying me so my mum offered to accompany me...www

Sugita's panel started at 2pm and I arrived at the convention centre right on the dot. By then I was really anxious so I rushed to the ticket counter (leaving my mum behind lol) and luckily the queue was really fast. I paid for two 2-Day tickets and hurried into the convention hall. I had no idea where the stage was held so I followed my sense of hearing. Someone was speaking on a microphone? Check. Fangirls screaming? Check. Someone welcoming Sugita onto stage? CHECK.

And there he was. I'd dropped my ticket the moment I saw him and I didn't even notice it OTL He was decked in a black T-shirt, black shorts, and a black beanie. It's a pity he didn't come in Gintoki cosplay XD When I arrived he had already started doing a live dubbing for one of the Gintama episodes as Gintoki. It was amazing!! *o* After the dubbing session, there was a Q&A session. I'd love to share what was asked and his answers, but unfortunately the sound system wasn't loud enough and the crowd was deafening so I couldn't hear much of what was being said T__T He held his usual poker face the whole way XDD But seriously man Sugitan. is. AMAZING. His presence on stage was....hhhhhhh oh gosh *___*

Well that's all I have to say for Day 1. I'll (hopefully! no promises ;;;;;;) be attending Day 2 so more coming tomorrow, along with photos! ^^
