~~ ABC SATU !!!!~~

sorry for not posting recently~
basically, there's nothing interesting that happen lately. Life is routine-ish like now . Even going to school seems more fun. At least there's a bit of excitement when playing truancy . Now, im like an aimless human doing things i do not feel meaningful. Many people had warn me bout this post-stpm blues before, but sigh, now being the one experiencing it doesn't seems so funny anymore~ :(

let's put aside that sad story, and get to the main topic now.
hurm~..remember our beloved irresistible-during-hot-day abc/cendol stall opposite sabs ?
It wasn't even a stall when it first started selling those mouth watering ais kacang.
They started with a small motorbike at the roadside~shaving their ice block manually to satisfy their customer thirst under the hot blazing sun~
....then they expend their business n build a small stall at the corner.... customers CAN sit on the wooden chair outside, 'enjoy' watching motorist( vice-verse) while waiting for their delicacy ~ at least they had upgraded their ice shaving machine to a electronic one!!

from the small corner, they decided to take their business another step further~



~ seems pretty normal from here huh~


~this is the 'front ' ~ can see how big it is compared to last time?~



~well, its not UPER big , but well, how can u expect a abc stall to be as big as 'kamunlau or lai yuan restoran'? ~
hahahha..now, we can enjoy their specialty without being stared by the passer-by~
( well, you guys still can sit outside and enjoy the breeze outside, at least it's not that stuffy outside)

that's all for now~
hope there's more things happening around for me to post...^^
ciaoz~

* pak cik!!.......satu ais kacang, gula melaka sahaja, tak nak kacang*

Comic Fiesta 08' post, late by a month or so

Close friends of mine can easily tell you how crazed am I about Anime and Manga. Even my parents can attest to that. And ever since I grazed(graze points ftw yey random inhouse joke gg -_-) the SPM examinations, I been wanting to go to the numerous anime convention organized. However, as luck has it, I was not able to attend last year's MMU's GACC. And then there was another anime/manga convention I missed because TARC hates me. However, when Comic Fiesta '08 was in town, and with everything going smoothly at that time, nothing seems to be able to stop me from experiencing my first convention experience.

There isn't much to say about comic fiesta. It's what I expected to be - doujins' , cosplayers' , games' , loads of fun . Beforehand, I thought that I would be see tons of Naruto cosplayers at the scene, but to my (delightful) surprise, cosplay in Malaysia has taken another step forward. You can even count the numbers of Naruto cosplayer with one hand. Malaysian cosplayers seems to have became more "mainstream" lately. There were some Macross, Gintama, Katekyou Hitman Reborn, one damn cute Kyon from Bleach, one Dr.Octopus, Nemesis from Resident Evil, FF characters and TOUHOU.

YES THERE WAS A FEW TOUHOU COSPLAYERS AROUND!!!And just when I thought that I will never get to see a Touhou cosplayer in 2008. They were manning their doujin stores when I saw them. Liyuen wasn't there at the moment so I couldn't take any pictures. And when I saw them again with Liyuen, gg-ness ensured?

*OMG RAN YAKUMOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~*



Glad to have been able to meet you two. =)

And then there was the figurine section. There was hundreds of figurine on display on CF'08. Let's just make an assumption that each figurine costs a hundred bucks. And there was around 100 of them? 100 x 100 = RM 10 000. By the way, RM 100 is grotesquely underpriced for a figurine of that quality. Heck, there was even some limited editon figurines there that I may never get my hands on in my lifetime.

Examples from the figure mall

Tamaki from Bamboo Blade (?)

Al-Azif from Demon Bane

The tag in the picture says Yagami Hayate. Never seen her before but the figurine is darn nice.

Chidori Kaname and Testarossa from Full Metal Panic!...when's the next season coming out??

Tsukasa sisters (who held 1st and 2nd at the recently concluded Saimoe tourney)
Secret to winning Saimoe Tournament - pray more =D

Characters from Key's games, 2 from Kanon and 2 from Little!Busters.

Caren Ostensia, my favourite Fate character. When's Hollow Ataraxia anime coming out~~~ >.<

















Misaka from To Aru series

Suzumiya Haruhi

Yuki Nagato
*There is a new Suzumiya Haruhi anime coming in the near future! Cheers!*















Lucky Star + Hatsune Miku

There's more pictures....buy methinks its enough.

Anyhow, I didn't watch the emcee duo cracking their sick evil jokes on the first day, but I watched the 2nd day, and boy was they wicked. Wickedly Humorous! Their jokes were funny imho, and the games they make people play was.....there's no word to describe it. And one of the emcee ( Alfred if im not mistaken) wore a skirt! Gosh, either you love them, or hate them, and I'm definitely one of the former. What anime/manga conv would be complete without cosplay tournament, but my memory of the cosplay tournament from that fateful day has gone blurry at best. Long story short, the top ten cosplayers have to perform something on the stage, and judges would rate 'em all. Here's the result (again, the authenticity of the result is ambiguous at best) Cosplay Honorary Mention
yuna - FF X
nemesis - Resident Evil

Cosplay Best in the Hall
Ashura - RG Veda

Cosplay Group Best
D.Gray Man

Cosplay Best
Sheryl - Macross Frontier (and sing she could, as she has sung several Macross songs, ALL-IN-JAPANESE. Marvel at Sheryl, and the cosplayer's brilliant radience)



















































*too far away for any decent pictures i guess*



















Katamari - Didn't win but this is great.


Here's what I bought from CF:

Alas, I'll admit, my passion for writing has gone down a few notches lately. Wonder if it's because I feel that I didn't do so well for my examinations, or was it because I couldn't play Touhou recently? Wonder why my ubuntu wine couldn't support touhou. sigh

Well, that's all. Be seeing you in CF'09

Day 3 of my Exam

With a blink of an eye, it's already my third day of examination. However, the 1st part of my exam can be duly stated as a downhill run, complete with a bicycle and a parachute in case of emergency. A little bit outta topic, but what I'm trying to imply here is that the 1st part of my exam (3 days out of 6) is actually an "easy" battle, easy in the sense that the really, tough part is yet to come.

Day 1-chem
Day 2-tamadun
Day 3-hubungan etnik

Day 4-english
Day5-bio
Day 6-(complicatedly tough)maths

Comparisons...It's like playing Touhou on Easy mode on my first 3 days, and then the difficulty just shoots up to Lunatic, WITH.NO.CONTINUES

On a related side note, this piece of music has kept me going for the past couple of days.Simply translated to Eternal Shrine Maiden, it's a BGM(I think) for Reimu in the PC98 Touhou game series.Enjoy!

永遠の巫女 - 上海アリス幻樂団

Digimon..Evolve!!!

Fervent readers of this blog, and fans of Wai Hong(numbering from zero to...zero) might have read his nostalgic post. Power Rangers might be nice and all, but I seem to have lost most of my memories watching Power Rangers and/or Ultraman. I dunnoe, maybe it just shows that Wai Hong has a mighty powerful brain to be able to remembers the shows he watch when we're just a kid. I shall admit, I remember Power Ranger and Ultraman, and Kamen Riders for all who might care, but herein lies the difference between me and Wai Hong. He remembers every small details, while I can only remember that the hero fight,struggle, and finally defeats the enemy, and repeat the formula for every episode.

Maybe I was still young at that time. But I don't think that's the main reason. I daresay that its because of games. Remember Digimon? or Pokemon? That's what I'm talking about. But today, I shall talk about Digimon. I remember going to Sean's place to play the Digimon game with Cm, Sw, Daniel, and one guy named Ivan if I'm not mistaken. And then there's Quek and Hor. But enough about old memories, the spotlight's on Digimon.

Digimon, I've never played DW1, but for me, Digimon World 2(DW2) kicks ass. It is certainly one of the best game ever to have come out on the PSX. The sheer complexity in the digivolution was overwhelming, and captivating. You can DNAdigivolve left and right, and obtain different Digimons. And the leveling systems means that you MUST DNA digivolve to be able to level up further.

Let's talk a little bit about history shall we. According to the ever trustworthy Google and increasingly trustworthy Wikipedia, Digimon Adventure came out on 1999. Yup, that one with TaiChi(Tai in the NTV7 version) and Yamato(Matt in NTV7). But NTV7 only showcast Digimon during my late primary years, early secondary years. While I played Digimon around Standard 3 or 4 of my primary school. Confusing, innit? Well, to sum it all up, I played Digimon World 2 before Digimon Adventure ever graced my eyes.

And then liffe goes on, and I started growing up physically....let's not dwell too much on the mental side, ok? Anyhow, last year, 2008, I got my PSP, and then i found out that PSP can play PSX games! And guess what PSX game I input on my PSP?

Anyhow, gotta run. Need to watch Digimon Adventure.

Mosquitoes

Ah goddam, it's been a while since I spelled mosquitoes, so I wonder if I nailed the spellings down correctly. But in any case, just wanted to tell all of you that, mosquitoes are bad. The blood-sucking, diseases-carrying, annoying buzzing sound producing insect literally sucks to the core.

That's why, we must take care of the environment. Clean you room frequently (HEARD THAT MY EVER SO HYGIENIC ROOMATE?), throw away your rubbish as SOON as they become obsolete, leaving nil spaces for these insects to reproduce.

Get well soon, wei.

New Year - 2009

Merry Christmas...a little bit late of that. I wanted to post something about my X'mas night, but just a browse through some of my fellow blogging friends will get you with the stories of my X'mas night.

Li Yuen haven't gave me any of the CF'08 photos, or rather, I didn't remind her yet so there is still no CF'08 posts.

Then, Happy New Year to all! And also a Happy Birthday to Alice, Yean Tyng! Hope you enjoyed the party+birthday steamboat party.

And heres wishing my readers a prosperous, trouble less, and yet another fun filled new year.
