Fullhouse is a lifestyle store and cafe located in NiuZeXui, a god forsaken place that is so out of the way its practically deserted somewhere in Ara Damansara. More on that later but first back to Fullhouse. Fullhouse is an interesting concept. Trying to combine lifestyle, fashion and design creativity into a cafe is actually pretty good. On paper that is. Separate the two and you’ll get something vastly different.I do not usually write food review but this is an exception.
The whole concept part is unique and comprising 2 stories of eating and display space it really is nice to see such design and creative works on display. It honestly had a few stuff that I find as very interesting. The pictures show for themselves.

Taylor’s Asaban Festival (previously Taylor’s Anime festival) was held recently at their Subang campus at SS15 by Taylor’s Anime Society. Compared to previous years, the event had 2 parts. A day event which was held in the indoor hall and a night event which was held outdoors at the carpark area.
Full review after the jump.

It seems that I have the tendency to fall into a state of a time warp in which time for me moves so fast that this site has a long overdue post. Finally, I’ve managed to sneak in some time to do this not because its 4.45am on a Monday morning and I cannot sleep cause I slept at 10pm and I have work in about a few hours. Nope. Nothing like that at all. So lets begin the review of GACC’09 shall we? Image heavy post is heavy.

I’m not really a fan nor am I really interested in the whole Haruhi Suzumiya franchise. With fans going boohoo over the whole bad marketing fiasco I do hope that they’re happy with the new season announcement. I’m more happy with something else that Kadokawa has recently been releasing *pause* for free *pause* on youtube instead.
For the past month or so Kadokawa has been producing short 5 min webisodes on youtube based on the Haruhi franchise called ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya’. Using more chibified characters with a comedic story each episode(ala 4koma) that has no connection whatsoever to the main show. Voiced by the same original voice actors there’s a certain amount of quality that you can expect. Heck, its even subbed in english.

I really should have posted this before January 1st but due to a very hectic and unforgiving schedule its only possible for me to post this up now. So without further ado here it is.
P/s: “this year” = year 2008 and not 2009. Remember, I cannot read the future nor take pictures of things that may come. XD
Comic Fiesta this year was held at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Center which was a massive venue if you compared it to the last one held at Time Square in 2007. This year I volunteered as one of Comic Fiesta’s photographer and damn it was fun. The Comic Fiesta committee this time around manage to get all 3 halls of the convention center which in all sense cost a bomb and it includes multiple arms, legs, and first born too i guess.The ticket price however was higher than last year with a 50% increase from RM10 to RM15 but I understand it is to cover up the cost lah.
There was about 80 doujin booths opened this time, 20 more than last year. The sponsor booth were many but some smaller sponsors were hidden away in the sides making it difficult to spot them. However it can be seen that the biggest sponsor was HP which obviously had the biggest booth there.
The quality of cosplayers this time was superb. Influence by Singaporean cosplayers? Well, it doesn’t really matter as this time there were many Singaporeans who came up to participate in this event. That goes to show how big this event had become after so many years. I was not there for most of day 2 of the event so I couldn’t see how the cosplay competition proceeded but I heard that the ‘cosplay battle chess’ method was removed entirely to the relieve of both cosplayers and visitors alike.
Due to legality I cannot post most of my event pictures up yet so you’ll have to be satisfy with some cosplay pictures instead. Look out for the last picture in the end. Its my best picture of the year and my favorite in more ways than one.
Pon Pon Patapon!!!
