Comic Fiesta ‘09 - Day 1
What better way to start a post than with some C.C.?
For those of you who missed it, CF09 was on December 19-20 in the Sunway Convention Center.
This year was great, and because it didn’t clash with AFA, there were even more cosplayers than in 2008.
This year, the arrangement of all the event elements (such as: stage, sponsor booths, entrances, exits, etc.) was much better. The stage was centralized, and there was enough space between the booths to move around without bumping into others. One thing I really have to commend, is the choice of songs. I, personally, really enjoyed to song selection.
Oh, and this year I had Tee Juan help me out by being my photographer (well, kind of). As a result, I have much better photos this year. \o/
I do not quite know how he wants me to promote him, so for now, I’ll direct you to his blog and his flickr.
Anyway, moving on, let’s first take a look around the event hall.
Cute cosplaying Chocobos that I somehow missed
As was mentioned, there was an increase in cosplayers; there was also an increase of sponsor booths (and attendees too, for that matter). Oh, and speaking of sponsors, here’s a quick mention of them (in no particular order): Basheer Graphic Books, Gempak Starz, Limkokwing University, The One Academy, MSC Malaysia, The Anime Depot, sun comic, The Figure Mall, littleAKIBA, d_code, Hobby Legend, Neko Tales, Animasia Studio, Imaginary Friends Studios, Microsoft, Wacom, GrandTech, i1Play, e-factory, and Anime Tech.
There were a few other booths whose names didn’t appear in the sponsor list:
Kaku Labs Corp sold a variety of hats like the ones you see there. By the time I got to CF on day 2, they were either sold out, or they got too lazy to set up shop.
So, apart from the sponsor booths, what else was in the hall? Well, there was an art display right in the middle of the hall, and at the end of it, stood this:
As cool as this was, I'm sure nobody paid attention to that little note card at the bottom
Right next to the art gallery, was The Figure Mall’s display. And right next to that, was one table promoting OTACOOL.
.. No comment.
The doujin booths were always packed with people.
The goods sold this year were great, though I noticed a large amount of Hetalia items. Is Hetalia that good?
Interesting sign at Jarhead Studios' booth. Makes me want to touch everything <3
Naturally, there were lots of stage events. Our hosts this year were Alfred and Zen. On day one, due to.. uh, certain circumstances, I missed the group cosplay competition, so I can only guess what the groups did from the photos oh wait, that’s what YouTube is for…
Looks like they had some Phoenix Wright going on
I'm not sure, but is smiling something you're supposed to do in a fight?
The judges
Well anyway, that’s enough from me. The following consists of cosplayers, and some other random stuff. Enjoy!
I lol'd.

Catgirl with umbrella was pretty good…and the maid was so damn cute. C.C. and Anya were not bad either as cuteness goes.
The KOF MIA team however was complete massacre.

Majority of the girls are into Hetalia, if I am not mistaken. Though I don’t know why and how good it is…
I wasn’t into taking photos of cosplayers last year. Maybe it’s because I was a bit too nervous thinking about the art competition. :\
Btw, are you going to post photos of your loot?
