Have You Gotten Your Tickets to Singapore Comic Con SGCC 2023?

Hi Huneybees,

I had tons of fun at the Singapore Comic Con 2023 prelude. Like-minded fans all gathered as we celebrated all the geeky comic, gaming and toy stuff as we counted down to December and got a taste of what's to come. 

We started out making our very own SGCC Mascot macarons with Mac.Bites. Drawing on such a tiny "canvas" was definitely a feat, it took me several tries, just to get the eyes right. I was really getting cross-eyed, requesting for my hands to steady up. Look out for their booth at SGCC 2023, I bet there will be tons of adorable macarons waiting to go home with you ~

Speaking of food, there will also be food booths at the event and one of my favourite BBT store - Chagee will be there to quench our thirst. I love their Da Hong Pao which you can customise with toppings or just simply have the bottled Cold Brew series. You can keep the bottle and bring your own drinks out in it too!

Hubby had a lot of fun at the OSIM booth, playing Tic-Tac-Toe with the pretty staff and also gaming on the Transformers x OSIM UThrone V gaming chairs. They were not only ergonomically comfortable, it also came with massage options, which I was hinting hard to him that Christmas was drawing near... 😜

Everyone was engaged and having tons of creative fun, it was so nice to hang out and make friends with them. Activities like Tabletop Gaming, and painting Dungeons & Dragons miniatures as well as cosplayers meet up will also be happening at SGCC 2023 itself, I can't wait to see everything happening on a bigger scale.

We already had our eyes on some of the toys on display, *my Christmas wishlist just keeps getting longer* but one that surprised us was the "Jelly Podrtaits" booth. A simple caricature concept combined with the latest photo booth trend, has us posing to get our "photos" drawn within minutes. I love how the artist captured out expression. I'm definitely going to find her again at SGCC 2023.

Tempted? Ready to unleash your inner geek and dive into the ultimate celebration of comics, games, toys and cosplay? Hurry get your tickets then! This year, they are featuring a "Creators Con", a groundbreaking initiative designed to provide a dedicated space for content creators to connect, share their experiences, and inspire the next generation of creators. I'm definitely looking forward to it and can't wait to see what collabs I can come up with...

Singapore Comic Con 2023 is happening from 9-10 December 2023 at Sands Expo & Convention Centre (10am - 8pm). The event is part of the Singapore Media Festival and supported by The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) Singapore and the Singapore Tourism Board.

Lia Bear is a cosplayer from the Philippines, she has been cosplaying for the past 8 years. Cosplaying has pushed her to become a better version of herself, like her favourite anime characters.

It has been a scary ride, but it has made her feel the most alive.
