Ekka! <3

Isn't it wonderful to go to the Ekka on a weekday?
The queues are short, there's not so many people and the air is stinky with animal poop.
How nice.

Karlyne and I went to the Ekka today after uni and boy was it empty. The first thing that assailed our noses was the horrible stench of cattle dung. Very very pleasing on entry.

The riders and their horses looked so sophisticated standing at attention waiting their turn to enter the field for judging. Sometimes I get the feeling that the riders are feeling haughty about literally looking down at us. Or maybe I'm just jealous that they get to ride a horse. Haha.

I won a little speckled frog this time. No more big prizes for me, sadly. Managed to get my hands on the showbag I'd been eyeing. Which is wonderful. All it needs is a little more modifications and my prop is done! Speaking of which, I've got bad news about my cosplay but talk about that later.

We only sat on one ride sadly, because by the time we got off the "Bad Ass Zipper"; the constant spinning had finally taken a toll on our stomachs. But, nothing a little homemade lemonade can't cure eh?

I finally sat on the chair lift in all my 5 years of being to the Ekka, and it was a wonderful experience. Scary yes, because I'm paranoid, but fun. Plus the fact that a 13 year boy tried to flirt with me on the ride? (More amusing the fact is that we were going in opposite directions)

Here's his pick up line:
Boy: "Hey babe!"
Me: *weird look* "Haha, you're too young for me!"
Boy: "Oh sorry! ... Maybe when I'm older!!!"
Me: "Sure!"

OMG. It was so hilarious. If I ever see him again I might actually give him a peck on the cheek for trying. Least he's got guts unlike the pitiful Asian guys at the Inifinity dance party the other night. *rolleyes*

Joined Sena and Damien (Ka's housemates) for dinner at Chinatown. I got to eat my fill of roasted duck skin. YUM! It's so much better than chicken skin, I swear! God, it was so delicious. Anyway, thanks for the ride back you guys~ <3

Anyway, as I had mentioned before.
I don't think I will be able to attend Cosfest 2008 anymore. Much less return to Singapore during that period of time. T_T
Because I start my postgraduate diploma and it'll be a full-on year with lectures, tutorials and practicums (working the field aka work placement in schools).

Thus I apologise to all my friends that I have already made plans with.
Not mentioning names here because I know you don't want some people to find out. You know who you are stalker!
I will be apologising to you personally over msn though.
It's really so sad though, because I was looking forward to cosplaying with everyone. I suppose EoY's the only one then. *wry grin*

So yeah. =)
