Time flies so fast that you would be shock to know that it is already the end of the year.. Even the most anticipated event this month, the End Of Year ’08 (EOY’08) was just held yesterday and I am very happy that I attended the event..
The event was held at the Singapore Expo Hall A-F from 11am till 7pm.. I arrived late at the event; about 3.30pm to be exact due to a small function I had to help out earlier on.. I first met up with Panther and Hirito near Coffee Bean.. After that, got my ticket to enter the event area; about SGD$12 to be precise and met up with the rest of the group..
Anyway, I am very pleased with how well the cosplayers do their respective characters, some of them are pretty amazing.. Well, I would like to leave to you some of the pictures I took during the EOY08.. Hope you enjoy taking a look at them..
Cloud holding Tifa close to him, protecting her from any “chikopeh”.. xD
The “Smile” cosplayers weren’t exactly smiling during EOY08.. =_=;;
Cute meido is really CUTE!!
Apart from just the cosplayers, there are also booths by artists to showcase their artwork and sell them, mini shops and other stuff.. What do I mean by other stuffs? Well, some of the booth are used by figure and dollfies collectors to showcase what they have..
I chance upon the figure booth when I was walking around the area, taking some pics of the cosplayers.. I was pretty impressed to see alot of nice figurines/figmas/nendos that were on display..
It was also my chance (Could be the only chance) to see the Volks Hatsune Miku figurine up close and personal.. She was just too kawaii~ not to be missed.. 
Volks Miku, one of the hardest Hatsune Miku figurines to get.. Wish I can get one easily..
Now, lets return back to cosplaying.. ^^
Some of the Vampire Knights cosplayers looks quite good IMHO..
Oh yeah, the event was so well known that Darth Vader from the EMPIRE sends out one of his trusted Stormtrooper by the name of Gordonator to scout the event..
However, he was unfamiliar with the country’s current technology that he got pissed off.. Here is the video to prove it.. ^^;;
Sam (Squeex) cosplaying as hide looks exactly like him..
This group was unexpectedly group, apart from the > 9000 Naruto cosplayers that were at EOY08..
Yowane Haku, one of the spinoff Vocaloid character that attended the event..
I didn’t know EOY ’08 attracted the attention of the iDOLM@STER people.. xD
Hawt Jo is really HAWT…
Yumeno, one of the lucky few to take a picture with the 2 serafuku girls..
Marina Ismail cosplayer looks very pretty indeed.. 
Of course, how can I forget to take a picture of Hatsune Miku.. ^^
I felt quite satisfied that the EOY 08 ends on a great note.. This year’s event has a lot more great cosplayers around.. I also met up with some of the people that I chat from IRC during the event itself.. Well, it was a great event and I guess I will hope the SOY ’09 will also be great too..
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures.. If you like to have the original pictures without the watermark, do drop me a comment and I will gladly ZIP them up for you.. So as for now, I would like to take a good rest.. Hope to see you soon in SOY ’09..

LOL @ Yumeno’s picture, the girls looked like they were forced to be with him roflmao.
There are some pretty good ones among them.I wish id see some cosplayers lik that over here
Great shots! That Cloud looks more like he’s the chikopek than protecting Tifa from them though
@ DS: LOL!! But yeah, Sam really looks like hide during EOY.. Sam is now FAMOUS!!
@ Yeah, I agree with you on that.. Well, at least he has proof that he was doing his duty… xD
@ Blowfish: Yup, there are more good cosplayers than the year before.. They did splendidly.. ^^
Hey, you never know.. Perhaps the cosplayers over there will do a good one too..
In my opinion, the cosplayers for this EOY is so much better than what I’ve seen in AFA.
Man, I wished I could’ve do something more!
Was there multiple Clouds at EOY? I don’t seem to remember that Cloud in the photo…
