Yesterday was fun! Prussia and I kept teasing each other even though we totally didn't know each other (elaborated below). I only regret having to leave early before my curfew.
SERIOUSLY, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO STAY FOR THE WHOLE THING!!!
I think I was in a vantage point with the cosplayers. I tend to like to get to know the people personally, rather than focusing on the events only. A lot of them I didn't get to know well, but I got to know Prussia and Hungary a bit better.
~
Here's a recount, kind of:
I arrived at Yio Chu Kang at around 10.15am, which was relatively early since only Rettsu was there. We all squished our faces to the glass walls and waved to the people inside. I was holding a black-framed red fan while doing so. Of all of them, only Prussia waved back, sadly.
So Kimberlyn went to change into her Megane!England cosplay. Hungary, who was standing outside adjusting her hair, wanted to look, but she decided not to since Kimberlyn was rather shy. Hungary was really pretty~ So was Belgium~
When they finally tried to open the doors, they made a lame mistake and pulled the push door. Haha. Anyway, we all got welcomed in and they began a small ice-breakers. We each got a card with a name (mine was Latvia). Then we were supposed to find people in the same group as us, for example Baltics, so I went to find Lithuania and Estonia.
I wasn't sure, so I went up to America and England and asked if there were repeats, of which they said YES. But we gave up looking for more and somehow two more Baltic repeats strayed to us. Which was sad, because it meant that all the screaming I did (that killed a lot of ears) was pretty fruitless.
And after that I stood by to prepare to cling onto Prussia and ask for a mission, only that he moved away to bother Hungary, so I ended up rushing to Canada. I got there first, hell yeah!
After that I can't remember the order I did them, but I still remember all of them:

MISSIONS
For SEYCHELLES, we had to fish out a
live fish. It was pretty easy for me, though I caught some France mermaids and dead ones before that. And while waiting in the queue, America called me cute and Seychelles agreed haha.
For GERMANY, we had to hit the potatoes and earn 5 points. I did this as a group, and for some reason we kept hitting America's face, cue insane laughter. I was the only one who even scored any points, but my 5 points counted for everyone else so it was okay.
For USA aka AMERICA, we guessed 5 names of movies that the pictures came from. Jia Yang guessed about, what, 7 movies? I don't watch American horror, but I just told America:
"You know, American movies are really amazing!"
And America was so happy he gave me my sticker straightaway. In your face, people who never thought to just suck up a bit.
For RUSSIA, it was that classic game where there's a ball under a cup and you have to guess which cup it's under. I was the first person to guess wrong, apparently, but I pointed out to Russia that he cheated and put the ball into the another cup while mixing them up so I got the sticker.
For FRANCE, you either thrust a rose out to someone, put a censored picture in front of your vital regions or put a censor between your mouth and someone else's mouth. I heard that other people got other missions though. The cosplayer for France was a shy and easily-embarrassed girl, surprisingly.
For CANADA, it was pretty easy, with no time limit anyway. Just quickly flip all the leaves and search for 3 with a picture of Canada. I should have just taken 3 empty ones and say Canada was there, but because my flipping skills are amazing I flipped them all within 5 seconds and finished.
For AUSTRIA, just guess who sang the song Austria plays to you and get 5 correct. I got all correct, though Yi Jia helped me with Germany's because I don't listen to him at all. We got The Absolutely Invincible British Gentleman, Pechka Light My Heart, Marukaite Chikyuu (Germany) and two more Germany songs. I was like, "I-NO-D-ASOLULY-INVISIBLE-BITIS-GETLEME!"
For LIECHTENSTEIN, I'm not entirely sure how we passed, but it was just flipping cards and matching them. When we got empty cards, Bela reasoned that Canada was invisible, so it got counted in the end anyway.
For HONG KONG, we had to do a dance while wielding an axe, and for some reason America did it with us. Of all of us, I was most hyped out about it and at some points in time it looked like the House Mass-Dance. Hong Kong, amazingly, managed to stay remarkably silent and expressionless throughout the whole thing.
For NORTH ITALY, oh wait I forgot. Hang on. Oh yeah, Pictionary. I drew and we got "Apple (software)", "Microsoft", "Starbucks" and "Pizza". We could write words though, so I solved them by doing these:
Apple: Just draw the logo.
Microsoft: '_____ Word? _____ Excel? _____ Powerpoint?'
Starbucks A bit tougher. I just drew as best as I could the logo ("Is that Hungary?") and drew a star and a dollar note (buck).
Pizza: Anyone can draw pizza, heck.
For JAPAN and TAIWAN, we had to buy Omukuji, this piece of paper which writes your fortune. I got Extreme Luck and a picture of America. Oh and did you know? The cosplayers for Japan and Taiwan are twins in real life!
For UK aka ENGLAND, he'll give you props to wear and get you to say something mean to any of the cosplayers. For me, I wore black cat ears (maybe because I was wearing white flowers in my hair) and angel wings. And as I was instructed, I went to Prussia with a cute look on my face, and said,
"But Prussia, aren't you supposed to be dead? I mean like, Prussia was a German country which was officially dissolved in 1947..." Prussia muffled me by covering my mouth and nearby, America gave me a thumbs-up sign.
England was pretty pleased, and gave me my sticker.
For CHINA, I'm not sure what it is but apparently it was Chinese ghost, where you wear this piece of paper on your head and jump around. I quickly chose the China one, because China said something that had a double meaning and I interpreted it as "general of war". China kept speaking in Chinese though my Chinese is fail...
For SPAIN, you use your fingers to try and kick the ball into the goal 2 times while Spain blocks the goal. The first time I hit it, it bounced off the side into the goal. The second time, I hit it before Spain was ready and he was like, "Come on! Let me prepare first!" but it got in same way as the first.
For GREECE, you have to play a three-legged race. Yi Jia and I just chanted, "One-two" all the way and we won easily. Later I repeated with Bela so that she could get her sticker and there was this couple who just walked backwards when going back haha.
For HUNGARY, you have to help her take a photo of a shipping. We got SpaHol and RoChu. I tried to do SpaHol while the rest did RoChu, but I failed. Here's what happened:
Me: Holland, have you seen Spain?
Holland: He should be on cafe duty, yeah, he's over there.
Me: Well you see, I have this friend who likes the both of you, so could you two perhaps take a photo together...?
Holland: I'm sorry, but I think we shouldn't bother him till his shift is over, okay?
-Holland pats my head-
Me: YOU JUST STUNTED MY GROWTH!
So it failed. Strangely when I asked Spain nearly the exact same thing, he had almost the same reaction except for the growth stunt.
And Hungary, knowing that, decided to be nice and give us something much easier: PruGer. So I used the same excuse. Till now, Prussia still doesn't know that was an excuse and will never get to know he shouldn't have dashed to Germany.
For BELGIUM and SOUTH ITALY, we had to lie down in the shape of the person on a piece of paper while Belgium/Romano took a photo of us. I got Death by Ballet for top part and Decide By Yourself for bottom. One of my friends got England Did It haha.
For PRUSSIA, he gives a lot of random stuff, but the most common which is what I got is to balance Gilbird on the head and circle a cosplayer. I had to circle Germany and after an immediate first fail, I decided to take measures and instead stood like a proper lady.
So with small steps, head held high, straight body and balanced weight, I circled Germany, but right after doing so, Spain rushed by and Gilbird was tousled off by the wind. So I screamed and checked Gilbird for injuries while Prussia gave me my sticker.

I was one of the fastest to finish, though I had to wait for Austria and Feliciano since they were on cafe duty when I needed them. I managed to get a Russia keychain and a Feliciano badge, which were both pretty cute and Yi Jia was like, "I WANT RUSSIA". So I spent the rest of my time taking photos, chatting with Prussia or doodling on the Graffiti Wall.
Sayon.
