Received a sms about this from my adventure enthusiast friend when I was going home in the LRT. Before I even visit the website he sent me I already know I'm going to join. Dam I'm such a sucker for these adventure/nature things. >.<

Genting Trailblazer 2007

Race date: Sunday, 11th November 2007

Join in team of 2. The registration fee is a little steep though, 3 packages to choose:

- RM398 per team (RM199 per person) for the breakfast + run + room + dinner package.
- RM198 per team (RM 99 per person) for the breakfast + run package.
and finally a
- RM 48 per person dinner package for the friends and family who went to cheer for you.

I guess most people would be put off by the pricing, seems like the breakfast + run package is the most 'affordable'. But hey there are goody bags and most important of all, the chance to face off with other veterans, and totally p4wn them, muahaha.

Ok, you adventure nuts out there (with some $ to spare) go on and sign up now!

See you at the finishing line!

Okay ladies and gents, as promised a few weeks ago (I know, I've been buzy lately), here is the second part of the WCG Malaysia 2007 coverage - Cosplay chapter!!

Well, this was my first time going around an event to take photos of cosplay gals. So as you can see, some of the pics have 'broken' lighting. I was quite nervous and excited that my hands shoke when I took the photos, I swear! >.<

Okay, enuf talk, let the show begin! (Not that there is much =P) Enjoy!

Cosplayers for the Gameflier booth. I think it's RO cosplay. I kinda 'tumpang' shot here, lolx.


Very elaborate, sexy and kinky Lineage II cosplay. The elven ears look kinda fake. But still cute ne~


Haha, caught them off guard. They had no choice but to let me take their photos.


Another Lineage II cosplay. Black version. The contraption behind her is not the background, it's a decoration stuck to her back! Isn't that heavy??


The Logitech gals!! Two pretties! I made a few rounds before finally collecting enuf guts to ask them for a shot. I was worried they'd decline but fortunately they nodded! My hands were shaking when I took their photos. No kidding!


Lol, ain't no cosplay. There was an Indian wedding exhibition just beside the WCG hall, thought I'd take some boke shots.

Okay, now that's a wrap for the cosplay chapter. Overall I liked the cosplayers in WCG Malaysia 2007. There were some other gals that I hoped to shoot, but you know, shy lah. Lolx.

Hopefully I'll get better in my photographing skills and bring more eye candy in future events. Hajime signing off!

How I wish I was there with the one I love: As the audience screaming at the top of our lungs, for our favorite band; Or as the singer, singing for his beloved, and his beloved fans; Or just a kid, who only wants to play with the big yellow baloons.

During the Merdeka period, XL-Shop had a promotion on its old stocks. Mostly were completed figures of anime gals. The discount was around 40% to 50%. Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Wars, Katase and Glennoth from Stellvia, how can I resist! Negima figumate and the oh-so-kawaii Ana and Matsuoka from Ichigo Mashimaro. I won't go into details on the price I had to pay for these, let's just say it aint cheap! =ω=

Whole bunch of kawaii stuff...


As opposed to a whole lotta metal from my previos purchase... (Okay, Kosmos from Xenosaga dun seem to fit exactly well in this pic but she's a cyborg, which qualifies for mecha, kinda =P). Read from this post.

With this kinda erratic buying behavior, I'm starting to wonder myself, what will be my next bulk purchase?

Got this new cube at Toys 'r' us Midvalley while waiting for my friend Hofa in his WC3 tourny during WCG Malaysia 2007.
RM30 in exchange for brain exercise.

The World Cyber Games Malaysia was held in Mid Valley on the 8th and 9th of September. For those of you who haven't heard of the WCG, it is the Olympics for computer games. Just like the Olympics with it's many sporting competition, the WCG feature many games in which players compete with each other for the coveted championship.

Every participating country will hold national competitions to find the best player to be sent for the finals. This year, the finals will be held in Seattle, USA. Imagine, if you become the national champion for the game that you are competing in, you are SPONSORED to go to Seattle, USA!! How cool is that! FOC trip!!

Anyways, this year, my college-mate/friend Hofa joined the Warcraft 3 game competition He came all the way from Johor, so he bunked at my rented place in KL for the duration of the 2 day competition. I tagged along and tried to cover the event as he fought in the cyber arena.

Wayyyy to many PCs! Pull the plug at the mains for the ultimate WCG terrorism.

The schedule of WCG was quite early. When we reached Mid Valley around 9 a.m. the venue was already filled with participants. I never thought gamers wake up so early! (At least not me, always gamin' till the late of night =P ).

Participants waiting for the opening ceremony. They are either discussing strategies...

...or saying this, in a co-ordinated voice. Okay okay, so not all of them are WC3 players.
But seriously WCG Malaysia, no-custom key policy for WC3, what kind of crap is that!?

I'm not sure about the other games, but they have a really dumb-ass shit rule about not allowing Warcraft 3 players to use custom shortcut keys. For now, I'll just say it is nonsense. More on this issue in the coming post.

The performance stage of WCG 2007

Well, after the doors finally opened, everyone went into the exhibition/performance hall. Most people went to the stage area to await the opening ceremony. I was hopin for some hawt action but boy, it was boring. Started out with the typical speeches, which is then followed by some shuffle dance by a dance group called M.A.D. Talk about madness, why'd they even let a three-male-ONE-female group dance in an event where 99% of the participants are GUYS! WCG Malaysia, hot girls dancing in 2008 please. (No offence to the dancers lah =P ) I was quite dis-interested that I din even bother to snap any photos... lolx.

Walking around, mostly are sponsors booths like Samsung, Logitech, Intel, etc. There were LCD's on demo, and more notable the Nintendo Wii for demo play. The most elaborate booth was the Lineage II booth. They even had a rock band corner where various local indie band performed.

Uhh, one of the live band in the Lineage II booth. This indian singer seem like to scream a lot =_="

I grooved to the live music, and took quick constant glimpes at the cosplay/booth girls as I played Lineage II on their demo pc's... gosh, some snacks and better air-conditioning will be better. Lolx. Geek!!!

Did I say cosplay girl? Yes I did, oh yes indeed I did... coming up in part 2? XD

"Don't use me as bait wokeh?"

Wah, Channel [V] leh! WCG Malaysia 2007 is worthy of appearing in a slot of Channel [V]?

Well, all in all, I rather enjoyed the whole event. It surely wasn't as grand as the real WCG, but I kinda got a taste of it. After going through with the event, it made me feel like wanting to join the fight next year. If you are a gamer, never heard of WCG, and want to know more, check out the main WCG site, and our local Malaysia WCG site.

Keke, mayb in the next post? ;)

They actually work, those words on the little stick up notes. I probably need more.

Follow up to NameWee's Negarakuku. Lolx. Peoples just can't get tired of this.
