Most of the problems can be found in other blogs or forums so I won’t talk about it. That said it can be greatly be reduced or solved if it was brought up much earlier. I wanted to do my job but due to emotional and immature thinking of the hicomms I was deny that role. Kept in the dark and refused to be given proper information and also with a strange campaign planned to undermine which was pretty obvious proved that my services were not required. Not that I have a problem with not doing work but my professionalism demands that I must do my best.

After trying to confront this issues, strange reasons which were obviously illogical were given. No explanations were sought out nor was this was ever voiced out or talked over. Never have I worked in a group before that such a thing had happened before. Brats. Spoiled brats to be exact. This reminds me of high school drama that is famous of being brought into a university setting. Wonderful.

With all this being taken personally no proper work was done to solve issues that would arise and during that time I was free and very willing to handle such task which was my role in the first place. Being professional and responsible to immature kids is really irritating. Do you job properly and they will say that you are misusing your power. Ask for information they will say you are ordering them around. This would be true is your role was not the FREAKING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR. I wonder if the same train of thought would occur if its the director asking the same things and not me. Curious.

Assumptions and heresay mixed into work is a dangerous mix. From no drama to drama in such a short time even staying neutral was difficult as your every action was deemed as dangerous and scrutinized at every chance. But when they involve your personal life into the equation it was just too much. No matter how much you talk to blockhead who does not want to listen because it would mean that they were wrong is not what they wanted in the first place. Most of the problems were already foreseen months ago and if only they did not cut me out from the loop I would had continue doing my job at hand. Do so much for others and they stab you in the back at the end of the day. Yeap, I’m too nice for my own good. Period.

“Respect is not given but earned” is a two way quote which means the same for the speaker as well but when one’s action contradict such words it is known as hypocricy. When I speak of respect I always point out by saying that you must talk to the other person like a human being not ONCE did I ever mention that I must be respected due to my position. Listening to one thing and not the whole sentence is again just plain ignorance.

That said, one must look into the mirror and reflect upon oneself before judging others. We are not perfect being as some might claim to be. Understanding one another and talking things out is the mature and adult way to go. As long certain groups of people do not recognize and face this and grow up I am certain that they will never survive in the real world. The irresponsibility of a few people was what messed the event up. Its that plain and simple. Was the problems discussed and solved during the postmortem? No, it became a massive happy party where the world is made out of rainbow and unicorns. Yes, I almost blew my top but it was because someone was looking for trouble. I often wished that I would be surrounded with mature thinking intelligent young adults in university but I often found myself babysitting instead. I’m so fed up.

With all this dorama going on around me I must admit that it is time for me to close the curtains on this chapter and retire from EMiNA Cyber and any club or university activities. Sometimes all this shit is just not worth the investment. I rather work with outside group for external event and the like. At least its work done right and professionally minus the childish emotional conducts. Goodnight.

To quote a friend of mine “DaiCon was an event organised by form 5 student with the university’s money with the concert being main purpose featuring some sponsor and vendor booth with a touch of side activities.”. I agree completely now that it is not a ACG event. Enuf said.

Suffice to say, I’m gonna do my best to deliver what we/I promised. Please look forward to what we have install for you guys and girls. You might be in for a few surprises. *wink*

‘Something BIG is coming but are you ready for it?’

If you’ve had not heard it yet then you’ve heard it first at Clowonline.com. Since he’s such a big star his manager only allow us to give away 10 autographs. So because of that we will be having a Royal Rumble Deathmatch ala World Wrestling Entertainment (previously known as WWF, then non panda kind). Potential autograph recipients must battle it out in a arena till death there is only 10 left standing. Should there be only ONE left standing that person will receive a special invitation 1-on-1 dinner with our superstar himself.

Yes, yes. I know its cruel to enjoy such spectacle but if the ancient Romans can do it then why not us? Malaysia Boleh!!!

Oh, but that’s not all. The multi-talented Minoru Shiraishi will be performing his greatest hits for us LIVE and ON STAGE at our grand hall. Hits such as ‘Koi no Minoru Densetsu – Kazenban’ and ‘Otoko no Iki-Sama’ will be performed for you. See how much trouble we go for you people. Sigh….

Well? So what are you waiting for? Come on down(or up) for a fun filled experience for the whole family. Who knows? He might not be traveling alone.

p/s: Yes, we have an arena in MMU. What do you think we do? Studying about astrophysics and Heisenberg’s theory oni meh? We also race chariots, learn how to work together in a phalanx line and also fighting wild bears and lions(sometimes tigers too but they’re really rare). We’re a well equipped uni mah.

It is time you miscreants. We have heard your wishes and we will now make it come through. After almost a year of preparations, a year of blood, sweat and tears with a hint of desperation we(I) are(am) proud to present…

A Daikon????

……..

…………….

…………………..that’s not right….let me try it again. *Ehem*

Presenting EMiNA Cyber’s and Malaysia’s first ever ‘Japanese Modern Culture Convention’ DAICON!!!!!!

I’ve always wanted to organise one again since getting involved in the very first GACC back in my Foundation (Alpha) days back in Melaka. Ah…the nostalgia. But since I’m already here in EMiNA Cyber and Its going to be my final year here I see that this might be my last chance to reach a flag strike something off my life’s to-do-list. There’s still ALOT of work to do but as they say “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”.

Details are as follows:

Date: 11-12th of July 2009 (yes, I know it clashes with Cosfest)
Venue: Grand Hall, Multimedia University, Cyberjaya
Time: 10.00am-7.00pm

For more information and inquiries, you can visit our website at www.daiconnews.com. Its gonna be BIG. Very very BIG. On a scale never seen before in any Anime, Comics or even Games(ACG) type events before in the country. This isn’t really a ACG event by the way and more of it related to the modern visual culture of Japan which coincidentally coincides with everything related to ACG as well. Talk about killing 2 neko with one boulder…heh.

Stay tune for more updates. Who knows…you just might get hints on what to expect if you read between the lines.

Oh, if you have any inquiries(regarding DaiCon) you can contact me at chris@daiconnews.com or at our general inquiry email at info@daiconnews.com.
