History Alive

Day 3, the last day of History Alive!
arrived around 11am and stayed until about 10.45pm
spent a good 24 hours in Cineleisure this past couple  of days.
Very fun :)
crappy phone pictures because i r lazy to take a camera around.

The convention site! from the top floor!
the orange blotch is the desert Flames of War terrain and the brown green blotch is some other terrain. 
'L' shaped tables are where I spent most of my time, at the Women section.
there are alot of TVs. 
10 i think.

I present to you, the Russian Horde. 
this is a small horde.... around 45 standings.
Qi Shaun hasn't finished his Epic horde which has around 75 standings.
the actual term for it is infantry but horde sounds cooler. 
now remember, they all have 2 - 5 infantry members on 1 standing and they are all hand painted.
1 little infantry dude is only 15mm. 
the green patches are fake grass bits which are glued on later. 
i sooo want a horde but its alot of work.


Anti tank gun platoon.

more of the horde...

some of the horde with submachine guns and flame throwers. 

This is Komissar Shaunski, Shaun's version of himself as a Russian war commander.
yes, he came up with the name himself :P

my phone refused to focus on Shaunski and on the background instead D:

there was a father's day eating competition.
finish 5 carrot sandwiches and you win. 
Guy on the left got 2nd place.
Mr. Wong being forced up  there. 
Guy on the left got 3rd.


1st place went to the guy on the far left in the brown shirt.
they were all half choking xD

Time for an English fail!
maybe it was meant to rhyme. we shall never know :\

Speaking of fails...
Shaun and i were talking and the topic went to his paper bag idea.
Finally managed to try it out, thanks to McDonald's!
tore it in half at the back so it's more of a mask really.

it's Shaun in the Happy Face Bag!

Happy Face!
Qi Shaun : That was a major r-tard moment there.

Anyways, persuaded many people to come in.
i got a guy to ditch his girlfriend :P
he went in and the lady just walked on...
made them take surveys too.
alot of people thought they had to pay so eventually when i asked people in, i mentioned that it was completely free.
My success rate went up by alot after that.
the people were more sporting today than they were yesterday :\

Kimberley showed up around 1.45-ish.
got a cupcake with her, went to the pet store and got lime green manila card.
bought earrings :) and she got rings.

had meat balls at Ikea with Jun Vinh and Shaun.
spent like... an hour in Ikea. 
Talked about throwing up, Harold and Kumar and taking craps.
left eventually because people were listening in and giving us funny stares.
got Baskin Robbins with them too. 
Jun Vinh ate alot but Shaun ate more.
be amazed. this is what Shaun ate : 

• around 20 meatballs, his 15 and the ones i couldn't finish
• 2 servings of fries
• a salad
• 3 cups of pepsi

they were nice and walked slow today :D
I said : let's get some juuuuuuiiiicceeee! i wanna get some juice!
Qi Shaun starts laughing.
i then realize it sounds like "let's get some Jews"
wait, wait, lemme get ma shotgun! 
meh. war humour. 

Band of Brothers has been playing on the TV on the stage for the entirety of HA.
it's a WW2 series that used to play on HBO very long ago.
great series. 
tonight, around 9-ish, something very very very inappropriate played on the screen.
while i turned away to shield my eyes, i saw Datin Freida. 
she came around to that area the exact moment "it" started playing.
no one knew that "it" was in the show so.... yea.
Datin was freaked out. 
i'm scarred for life.
En. Herney was speechless. 
funny lah. but still very eeyer.

Amanda Koh saved me today :)
she came, though only for a little while.
most of the time today, i was the only volunteer for the Women section. 

it's after 1 and i'm still wide awake albeit very tired.
3 cups of pepsi does that to you, i guess. 
my cheeks hurt from all the forced smiling. 
flagging down random people is very tedious. 
History Alive was awesome i tell youu.
