1 month late post. Got derailed from my blogging passion already. Anyway this will be a short post about Comic Fiesta 2009, which I went the day after I came back from Genting Highlands.
I got to know about this event 1 week prior to the date when Bill Goh told me about it, inviting pro Jhun together as well. We were reluctant to go at first due to the RM15 entrance fee, but we still went at last. Thanks to Bill for driving us there :)
As this was my first time attending this kind of event, I wasn't really used to the surroundings. It's so much different from PIKOM PC Fairs (obviously), as there were so many normal camera users, DSLR-wielding photographers with intensive flashes (which includes me, except that I'm a complete noob), and of course, the cosplayers. Too bad that I'm still myself: not that daring to ask for permissions to take their photographs. I could only take the advantage when the cosplayers were stopped by other photographers =/
Still, my pictures sucked as I set the wrong white balance. Anyway, if you would like to look at some pictures taken, you can visit my CF album at Facebook, though the excess warm colours had been edited out from these pictures.
One of the things I liked the most in that event was the MCees, dayumm they were just so humourous that made me burst in laughters (and of course everyone else in the event).
Actually, there was a motive for me to go CF 2009. If you hadn't know, the poison by Bill suddenly attacked me and so I got this new hobby of collecting Nendoroids. I'd ordered 4 nendos online at The Figure Mall and since they had a booth there I had to go there to collect my items. Besides I also arrange a meet up with a Lowyat.Net forummer for my Haruhi Suzumiya keychain gashapon sets as well. That was the biggest spending to date, with a total expenditure of RM615 (not including F&B) that day.
We returned home after collecting my items. I will make a mini review of my Nendoroid collection IF I had the time and passion to do it ;)
Lastly, it's new year now. But I'm not happy, because at the 8th day of new year I got a stupid jackpot summon. Not kind of a good way to start a new year eh?

Genting trip 17-18/12/09
There were lots of happenings these few days that I'm unable to blog about them all at once. Hence I'm going to start out with the Genting trip with my friends at 17/12/09, which was a 2D1N trip.
Actually, going to Genting is nothing special anymore, especially when I have even been there before just 4 months ago. Like last year when I went there, that place was filled with dense mist/cloud that leaves our visibility close to zero, except that this time I was going there with a healthy body.
Worst things first, besides having a dense fog, it suddenly rained so heavily that the ride, which is Pirate Ship, we had queued up for nearly half hour needs to be closed. Damn, it should be our turn already if not because of the stupid rain! In the end, we had only played 4 rides for the evening and continued our Pirate Ship ride at night. Heck, that ticket was sure expensive for just 5 rides.
Well, the outdoor theme park will mostly probably be closed earlier with that kind of bad weather. My friends decided to go Motion Master to watch some 4D action thing. I wasn't that interested but well, I had to follow the crowd. Soon, it proves me wrong for the decision. It should be an enjoyable ride, but the lining for about 1 hour in a hot and poorly ventilated underground maze. Well, who could have thought of that?
After that, we went for some archery. This was my first time playing archery and so I suck big. Only 3 or 4 arrows hit the target and they were just at the outer ring of the target! But that was clearly a better experience than the one mentioned just now.
Lastly we just rested in our rooms by playing cards. That was day 1.
Day 2, I guess I did fell asleep at 4am and woke 2 hours later. I went to the Oldtown Kopitiam there to have some food with my friends whom already woke that time.
It was still a misty morning, just like last year's situation. That didn't bother us anymore, as my room's group decided to play at the arcade. While it's expensive to play there, it didn't stop me from bumping into this situation.
Another picture for Windows' epic failures?
The last and the highlight of the trip: the buffet breakfast with Alvin. The food has nothing to be talked here as it was just normal food that we can eat anytime, anywhere. What's ridiculous here is that my friends at room phoned Alvin to pack some food for them.
Leaving him without choice, he started the "project", that is, to pack food, obviously, and to smuggle the food out.
He succeeded. We'd reached our room.
Everyone had their share. But I wonder if they know what had been done to their food in the process. Shortly after that we packed our bags, checked out, and went back to our good, comfortable home respectively.
Well, that's all. i hope that we won't be going Genting for another gathering (if this can be called as gathering at all) again. I've gotten bored thoroughly to this place.
Next up, Comic Fiesta @ Sunway Pyramid the very next day. Stay tuned!

At this point I was like: wtf?

Holiday?
Yet again I've not been updating regularly, mainly due to me messing up my time. Well, the long hated Moral Education classes has finally ended last week and this marks the beginning of my true holidays for 5~6 weeks before going into my third semester.
I've been sleeping from 4am to 1pm for almost everyday since the first day of holiday, of course there are deviations. This computer is my best companion now that I put my display name in MSN as 月光宅男(moonlight Otaku), as opposed to a Jay Chou song, 阳光宅男(sunshine Otaku). lol. I once changed it to 依陌(emo)宅男 due to some unhappy things in Moral class, but since it's past so I won't give it a damn anymore. I'm partially impressed that I'm in a position where I won't fail my Moral course even if I fail my finals ;) .
Anyway I just came back from Connaught night market with pro Jhun them gang. Didn't buy anything there but I had some food and snacks that I've never tried before. It's the most crowded night market I've ever been to, which spoiled some of my mood to enjoy it, but since there are so many eye candies (aka beautiful girls/leng lui) there it's worth it to spend my time there. I hope the next time I go there will still be more of them there. ^^
Finally, my long said photography blog might not be coming since I'm a phail as in finding nice spots to photograph and even lack the basic skills to do some show-offs. I don't think I will be able to maintain the blog properly as you can see what happened to this blog now. Well I'll try my best, it's my interest after all.

A day at Jusco..err..I mean half
What's the best thing to do when TMNUT Screamyx failed you? Hang out with a bunch of friends! Yeah I've just returned from Aeon Cheras Selatan a.k.a. Jusco. It was a nice day to hang out as today is Wednesday, when movie tickets are cheaper! We watched 2 movies: Fast & Furious 4 and Shinjuku Incident.
Our group consisted of 5 friends. Coincidentally, we bumped onto 5 other friends of another group, which has exactly the same schedule with us as well. Looks like Wednesday is a good day to bump onto friends after all.
Our first movie to watch was Fast & Furious 4, and so we entered the cinema (duhz). Well, this movie wasn't as cool as I expected: Racing all the way long (noob thoughts). It does have some thrills though. But honestly, I watch the babes more than the cars as I know nothing about cars, obviously. Sad. Overall, the movie still has a nice storyline.
We had our lunch at McDonalds after the first movie session. I don't know why we always eat there everytime we go out. Perhaps they serve fast food which is the easiest to eat lol. We then visited Popular bookshop to read some books and waited time pass (earliest Shinjuku Incident session was at around 3pm, we had hours to waste). I bought my first English novel (excluding those novels forced to buy for school syllabus), Tom Clancy's Debt of Honour.
It just costed me RM13.40 after 10% discount. Wtf. It's so cheap for a mini dictionary-like-thick (and VERY old) book. Just hope that I can finish it by next year. lol
Finally the time to watch Shinjuku Incident arrived. We entered the cinema again (duhz), but for some reasons the cinema room didn't have any lights other than those beside the seats. It's a complete dark situation. It would be nice if there was a girl beside me. LOL j/k.
This movie interested me. It's the first time I see Jackie Chan acting is such violent movies. The movie is about the hard lifes of illegal Chinese immigrants to Japan during the 1990s. During their early days there, everything seemed happy because everyone was united. After 铁头 (Jackie Chan) accomplished some dirty works as ordered by some Yakuza leader, the illegal Chinese immigrants finally obtained status and power over the area, but things just started to get worse.
I won't spoil any further, I'm not good at narrating anyway, so you'll have to watch it to get a clear picture. This is not an action movie as acted by Jackie Chan usually, instead it's heavier on drama. This movie depicts the ugly side of human, where human is selfish, money-minded and do not care for their former comrades. Everything ended up in a conflict, which is another ugly thing as well. If there's a sentence like "all's well ends well", then "all's bad ends bad" is the only thing I can say now. lol
Imagine if the same thing happens in Malaysia in the future, when illegal immigrants from neighbouring countries flock into our country, forms a gang, and conflicted with local triads (if there's any), what will happen? Can I reckon that movies like "Kuala Lumpur Incident" or "Malaysia Incident" might come out by that time?

Yong Xian's birthday
As the title implies, today is my friend, Yong Xian's birthday. We celebrated his birthday at Aeon Cheras Selatan today morning.
Things didn't go as we have planned though. Our birthday boy didn't show up on time. I'll keep the reason to ourselves. We decided to have a karaoke session instead of watching movies.
We bought him a cake and ate it during the karaoke session. It was fun. It's been a long time since the last time I sing and as expected I can't live up the standard I used to be..Now my throat is sore enough to even talk properly. Failed.
I didn't prepare a present for him (sorry boss), we just used this chance to hang out together before some of my friends begin their college life. To continue the "celebration", we even went to a cyber cafe at Sungai Long, before finally going home.
Anyways, Happy Birthday Yong Xian bro. Wish you all the best in your studies and future. And of course, wish you good luck in your relationship with your gal. XD
