GACC 2010: The Last GACC

May 18th, 2010

Its about bloody time I posted this damn event review up even though it is about almost 2 1/2 months late. Stupid busy schedule. But I guess its better late than never right? So we’ve all heard or almost all of us anyways that this year’s Games, Anime and Comics Circle will be the last held at Multimedia University’s Melaka campus. Although swamped with work I just have to find the time to at least drop in for a visit since I was there at its creations it is only fitting that I’m also there for the end. Might as well since this would be my last GACC while I’m in MMU anyways.

2009 Summary

December 31st, 2009

Its almost time for the clock to strike 12 while the old year 2009 retires and the year 2010 is born. It is with great sadness and pleasure as I leave behind 2009 with memories both fantastically good and emotionally crushing bad. Indeed, this year was a roller coaster ride for me emotionally and mentally.

The beginning of the year started off really bad with heartaches after heartaches. Living everyday was like a zombie living with the only purpose of eating brains. Sad. Pathetic really.

Then came the build up to Daicon. The event that I put my heart and soul in. It was all fun and dandy until politics kicked in and people who I once though as my friends became my foes. It pains me to see such an occurance but alas that is life.

My internship was a first taste of a standard salary man lifestyle. Very stable if I do say so myself but very boring as well.

Cosplayers. Geez…this was the year I finally came out of my shell and met so many great people in the cosplay community. Seeing them giving their best from making their costumes to trying their bestest in being in character really encourages me to organise more cosplay related events for them.

AFA09 was great other from me going all crazy at the end due to amassing tiredness. Apologies to my cousin Janice and Crystal if I scared you there. I feel if I was more energized it could be even more fun. My first full attempt at cosplaying as well. Not very well executed. Need more practice.

Cosplay photoshoot. I’ve been learning alot from every photoshoot I get invited too. Really happy got to meet many photographers as well like Aoshi and Linkinstreet and cosplayers alike too. Now I really need to upgrade my equipment cause I’m at my limits at what I can and cannot do with what I have. Any sponsors?

Last but not least….I’ve met someone. That certain someone was the one who lifted me up from all my deepest depression period ever. All these unexpectedly too for the both of us and I’ve never been happier in my entire miserable life…until today. Its about 2 months till the time of this writing since we’ve been together. No regrets. Thank you dear.

But what do I see in 2010? Organizing one of the biggest event I’ve ever conducted in my life, finally finishing my studies and starting my own company might be somewhere in there I guess. But anyway, Happy New Year to all my readers and all my family and friends and I wish you all a good health and great prosperity!!! Time to think of a new resolution this year. Maybe loosing weight may not be such a bad idea i think…

P/s: I wish a slow and painful death to all my enemies. XD

A letter to C(ash).O(n).D(elivery): Modern Warfare 2?

November 14th, 2009

modern-warfare-2

Dear Modern Warfare 2,

Fuck you. Why must you be so awesome? Why must you be THIS awesome? It has been years since I have place my grubby little hands on your (Call Of  Duty) series. Killing people has never been so much fun since 2001 the second World War in Nazi occupied Europe. Those were the days where pixels were still quite blocky and my limit was 20-30 minutes each time because my head will just hurt. Frame rate issue or enviromental texture maybe? But anyways, I do not have that problem anymore. Even on my computer that is 2+ years old. It is amazing how the new you can be run so smooth like a river running down an open battlefield.

But I do have an issue with you though. Whay must you have such an engaging plotline for your single player campaign? Is this some Hollywood conspiracy? How can you do this to me? You’ll just have us the player wanting for more. Thank god I have not played the original Modern Warfare yet. Will get a copy to try that out soon. But in the meantime can you not be so freaking good? I mean, how about my studies? I have a midterm and presentation and not to mention my Final Year Project research to do all in this week alone.

Climbing a mountain with ice picks have never been more exhilarating, going on snowmobile rides have never been such a rush and fighting against waves of Russian troops has never been as crazy as this. I even had a dream last night about this. You sucK Modern Warfare 2!!!! You suck for pulling me into the zone of no return. Damn you!!!!!!

Now If you would excuse me I have a game to finish work..yes..yes work…work to be done.

With love and hate,

Clow

P/s: Damn you Ganaesh for influencing me into this!!!

Lunch in The Apartment

October 23rd, 2009

Honestly, I think I need to think up of better sounding titles that are more catchy. I have a feeling it might be getting lame lately. But in anycase, I heard about the this place interestingly called The Apartment from a few friends of mine and they mentioned about it having a peculiar comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Therefore, I took the opportunity recently to check it out for lunch. Located right next door to Italiannies at The Curve its very easy to spot.

The Agave Experience @ Frontera’s

October 15th, 2009

I’m a guy who loves spicy food. I’m also a guy who really enjoys spicy food that will make you stop, drop and roll with your mouth thinking that it was actually on fire. I’m always up for the next burning hot challenge and then I stumbled upon a blog post by a certain local celebrity blogger by the name of Kenny Sia who tried having some Hanabero chilli peppers at a Tex-Mex restaurant in PJ.  The place was called Frontera’s and its where I had my first Agave Experience.

Frontera’s located at JayaOne along Jalan University in Petaling Jaya not too far from University Hospital. Situated at a cozy corner of Jaya One among all the other eateries was quite comfortable for us as we decided to sit outside dining alfresco style. Due to complete randomness and may I say boredom I took the opportunity to organize a small testosterone challenge for a guys to separate the men from the *cough*ladies*cough*. The challenge was to consume Frontera’s infamous Killer Spicy Hanabero Chicken Wings without drinking water in which the first one who do losses. Yes, we behave like little children sometimes. XP

To be perfectly frank, the Killer Spicy Hanabero Chicken Wings was spicy indeed but not as tongue melting as we expected it to be. Maybe being Malaysian consuming heavily spiced and spicy food all this years might had screwed up our taste buds. I personally quite enjoyed the chicken wings but since we were sharing I felt it wasn’t enough. But alas, I have to keep my stomach available for the main course. Sean had the Chili Con Carde and cheese enchiladas, KCLee had the chicken enchiladas, Silencers the chilli cheeseburger, while I had the beef enchiladas beef special cheese chilli beef burritos a regular beef burritos. Almost everything I wanted to order was so good they ran out of it. Fuck my life.

According to Klue Magazine Frontera was voted in having the best Margarita in town and I would have to agree with that judgment. I had the Horny Margarita. It was sweet and refreshing and it doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth like most Margarita. It was so refreshingly good they are the only place apparently that serve in in jugs. Definitely, a hit with the ladies.
