Comic Fiesta & Christmas Deco
Ah, it has been a while since I last updated. Plenty of things happened in that time span like the incident I had to saw off my car gear lock (it got stuck while I was out at 3am), applying and now confirming that I'm going off to Swinburne in feb (bought the air tickets and booked housing arrangements already), went to the dentist (it was freaking painful), etc...
But of all those things, I only got a few of them photographed. Like going to Times Square with friends. (L to R: Mintos, Mel & Pui Yee)
This year Comic fiesta was held at the 6th floor, Times square and there was quite a turn-up~!
Kid-Chan and her friend (Sorry, don't know her name)...
Other than doujinshis (manga /anime fanart), there're cosplayers. This one turned out interesting. Like the monitor guy is being harrassed by the SWAT person. I like both their costumes. Hahah~!
But mainly I enjoyed my birthday lunch with Mel and Pui Yee at the japanese restaurant whose name always escape me... All I can remember are the sign is red and the restaurant starts with "K".
Look~! I even got a little birthday cake. Love you lots darlings~!
I think this couple is just the cutest~! [whistles] (L to R: Kevin & Mintos) I think the guy's name is Kevin... Sorry if it's not. I love your dress Mintos-san~!
More cosplayers. I like going there to take photos of cosplayers because they're such sporting people.
There're all sorts of cosplayers and every year it's all different.
I most impressed with down to details cosplayers. Note that most of these costumes are either handmade or tailored. And they can amount to a lot~!
I spot myself two pirates and a bleach cosplayer. Most of them cosplay for the fun of it but there's also a cosplay contest that the best cosplayer gets to walk away with a prize. But I tend to miss the contest since it always held on the second day of comic fiesta. Dang~!@
Other than comic fiesta, I got to see and photograph Midvalley Megamall's Christmas deco. (L to R: Sabrina & Kimberly)
Their concept this year, Fairy Christmas. Or it is Autumn Christmas.. [shrugs]
Needless to say, that loads of people were around to take photographs. We were no exception.
With the school holidays on, when weekends come strolling along, you can expect the carparks to be almost impossible to find.
This one is deco in Midvalley's new extension, the Gardens.
I was thinking of changing the words of north court to north pole but thought otherwise.
With Christmas comes the Christmas shopping. Sales sales sales.
The fun thing about Christmas sales other than cheaper prices, is the variety of nice / odd / interesting potential Christmas gifts.
This looks like a lovely gift.. a tower of pastries~! Lovely for me, that is. Hahah~! Cheers~!

Down at Lion City
Before you stab the photo and say "it's a turkey", let me just say that I did not find it in my trip to Singapore. Just along the way... Hehehe. It was the 23rd Nov. I'm just slow at updating. Haha
So yea, I went for a day trip down to Lion City (Singapore) with my dad after dropping my mum at Johor's The Zon hotel for a meeting... of sorts. From here, I shall refer to Singapore as Lion City because I can. Hah~!
Going down to Lion City from KL is about 4 hours (370++ km). You can more or less figure out how fast we were driving... hehe.
This is the famous mee rebus in Johor. Believe me, it's super delicious~! This one is the mee rebus special (mee rebus + prawns). The only landmark I can give you is the fact that the store is at the Open University in Johor. Should be good enough... The road's near Stulang Laut.
Well, coming into Lion City means you better make sure you have your passport with you and that you fill in the arrival card that is available at petrol stations and hotels.. If you're driving your car down, you'll need to have a e-pass card for your car. If you don't, you can register and get it there on the spot. It's something like our touch-n-go card... Anyway, there are plenty of cameras in Lion City so watch your speed-o-meter...
Like back here in good old M'sia, there are trees along the roadside (there are seldom any along European roads) but unlike M'sian trees, the ones here are well pruned and pretty... My attention are on weird things so shoot me...
I still don't know what these jagged line on the road suppose to mean... You don't see this often.
The Singapore skyline... for the car, which is lost, because the last time dad drove down to Singapore was many many years ago...
So from the long car trip, I still managed to capture parts of the Lion City. This one is Park Mall, adorned with Christmas decorations.
Even in the streets, you can feel that Christmas has arrived. Look, snowflakes~! Nonetheless, we managed to find the shopping complex we were looking for... which was along orchard road. We kept trying to avoid the ERP... which I'll explain why later...
But seriously, there are plenty of Christmas decorations OUTSIDE the malls here in Lion City. Normally plastered on these decorations are the company that sponsored the deco.. That's my dad and Uncle Carlos in the right corner...
This was a church that we passed while in Lion City. If you realise, you won't find much churches back in M'sia... compared to the amount of mosques, that is.
Right in the far background of this photo is the ERP I was talking about. See, each time you cross the ERP, you'll be crossing into another section (let's call it section). And everytime, you cross the section, there are multiple (more than one, people) camera behind that ERP signboard to capture your car plate number.
Remember the e-pass card I mentioned earlier? What I forgot to mention was when you enter into Lion City, you'll insert the card into the system to be read. The card would hold your car plate number information... Then the system will start noting how many sections you have crossed. Thus, why we were somewhat trying to avoid the ERP (not easy when lost)
The main purpose my dad and I came down to Lion City was to see the National museum. I like museums. If you tend to breeze through exhibitions, you won't want me in your group. I tend to read most of the descriptions of the artworks...
What I was most fascinating was their first installation. The moment you walk in, you'll see this "Floor is slippery" sign. But why is it in the middle of the main hall entrance?
You can see it better from the top view. The issue that they want to point out is Global warming. "The earth is gradually getting warmer and warmer and it'll eventually melt the building.. So please watch your step as the melted marble is slippery" Cool eh? Look, even the pillars' bases are melting.
The ceiling of the museum is dome-shaped with stained-glass windows on the top. "The museum had to hire two contractors in its construction of the dome. The complexity of the dome was too massive that it drove the first contractor insane..." So it was stated.
The insides of the museum was zen-like. The soothing colours, lots of windows to allow natural sunlight in... and there were escalators~! You don't get escalators in museum. I've been to quite a number of museums for me to draw that conclusions. Hehe.
This chandeliers are actually part of a kinetic art exhibition... When I took this photo, (obviously) it was not moving. The admission is free BUT you still need to purchase a card to access to most of the exhibition rooms. We didn't pay so we just saw whatever we could which was free.. Haha~!
All in all, apart for being lost (2 hours), I still got to see a good part of Lion City. They have these small lion statues around the city. It was quite fun, running around with my camera. Haha~! The christmas decorations were pretty. I'll stop here for now. Cheers~!

Battleship has docked...
Whee he~! I finally got a battleship game. ^_^ My younger sis got it for me as an early birthday + Christmas gift. Super thanks to the kitsune~! [glomp]
You guys must think I'm bonkers to want a battleship game... Yes, I know. Though the boat above is also a battleship, I had wanted for the longest time I could remember for that game. I don't know why really...
I mean it's random calling of numbers / coordinates and the race to sink each other 5 ships first. It's luck to some extend... But once you play it a few times, I find it interesting since different people have different patterns of placing the ships. ^_^ It's relatively simple to play. But I still don't know why I like it so much. Haha~!
For those who is totally clueless as to what a battleship game is, you can either wiki it or click on the link below...

The Ball is Rolling...
Hey. Gosh so many things has happened since I last blogged... Random things but still. Let me work my way backwards... or at least more or less la.
Monday (5/11): Brought my poor computer to Low Yat to see the "doctor". It had been restarting a little too often to my comfort. I had tried to debug it (reformated it, check all the fans, vacuum the insides) but still the problem persist. I came to the conclusion that the power supply unit needed to be replaced... again. And I was right. Now it seems to be stable but at least I have 3 months to see... [puts the computer to the test]
Sunday (4/11): Went to Pyramid with Sabs and Kim. I love to hang out with my buddies... Decided on Pyramid since the both of them haven't visited the new wing, Pyramid 2. Had a nice hot breakfast at McDonalds. Then catch the latest movie, Stardust~!
I've not read the book yet but I think the movie was fabulous. Fantasy, Comedy & Romance rolled into one. Oh, I bumped into Tuckloong while heading to the cinema. Hi Tuckloong~! I would have stopped and chat up a storm with him but it didn't seem right since I was with my other friends. 
After the movie, I took them to the arcade. We played DDR, Para Para and Time Crisis 4. Ladies, I'll bring you there more often ya. You can get quite a workout at the arcade and noise pollution. With ringing ears, we fleed to a quieter place to have lunch, Kim Gary. We walked around a bit... I was helping my mum price check on some ear muffler, Sabs was looking for b'day gifts. All in all, I had a great day on Sunday.
Saturday (3/11): I just came back from my friend's (Nini) open house. I was the only chinese there. Awkward... But I enjoyed the food and her company nonetheless. Before that, I was around TOA college area to photostat the A3 diploma cert to a reasonable A4 paper. And I handed in the refined portfolio to the agents (IDP & AusEd). I'm free~!! Now I need to send my computer to be fixed.
It was my younger sister's b'day. We went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. Unexpectedly we had spanish cuisine for dinner (my younger sis favours japanese food). The restaurant was called "Elcerdo" which means Pig in spanish. One guess what it serves there. Porky Pig. ^_^ But seriously, the pork there was mouth-watering... The price on the other hand was eye-popping.
Everyone comes for their famous dish, the suckling pig. They cook the pig in white wine and the pig is actually soft enough to be cut with an ordinary plate, which they do and get someone to do it with them. Cool~!
Here's the link to their website: "http://www.elcerdokl.com/"
That's all for now. I believe that quite a many things happened but I can't really remember. I shall be more hardworking and update my blog more often..that would be easier now that mr computer is fixed. hehe. Cheers~!

Badminton & Passport?
Note to self: Don't play badminton with cheap badminton racquets... Because at the end of the day, they won't last. Look at them... [points to photo below]
How it all started was my friend, Keng Yen ask me for a game of Badminton. Sure, since I've not played that game for years. Didn't know where my mum stashed away the old badminton racquets so I grabbed the next best thing; these racquets I bought. They were cheap...
It was very funny when the game progressed along. A few times I find that when I was hitting the shuttlecock back, "Where did the thing go?" only to find that it got stuck into the strings... It was very funny indeed.
Well, I'm not saying that the racquets were bad... it's just that we didn't use their suggested shuttlecock (the one to the left). No way you'll find me play with that... Heheheh~!
Games aside... My parents went for a weekend trip to Macau with my father's uncle & aunt. I sent them to LCC Terminal on Friday (5th) at 5am. Nothing wrong with sending them really, it is the fact that they forgot to pump petrol into the car that I would be driving back. Sheesh~!
What's with passport? Did you know that you can get your passport done in 2 hours? I found out about that when my elder sis had to make hers because she forgot to check her passport... It won't be that much of a problem if she didn't need the passport asap to fly to Singapore on the very same day!
After we got the passport done, we had to speed our way straight to KLIA and board the next available flight. How exciting it was. Definitely enough excitement for a while...
Until next time then. Cheers~!

Song of the Moon
Yeah, I know I'm a little late with this post and all... 26th Sept 2007 was the mooncake festival.
As usual, every year my parents would ask me to set up the paper lanterns... Since the moon is nice and round this year, we got our prayer session to start earlier if compared to previous years.
They look pretty and all. But with the years going, the quality of candle decline as well and I find myself "reloading" the candle into the lantern pretty often.
But seriously what is mooncake festival with Prayer & Lanterns. Though I don't go around the neighbourhood, carrying along a pattered-coloured lantern (probably at least the fish shaped ones).
Normally the prayer table would be set up in the garden... but this year with the moon nice and bright, we could set up at the cement area outside the dining room / computer area.
The offering for this occasion I should say vary from household to household. Some family puts out more, some less... Well, we have your normal mooncakes, yams, dragon nut? (points to the black thingy up there), pomelo, chinese tea, white mooncake biscuit... and your usual, candles and incense joss stick.
Other paper offerings are also burnt so the supernatural and upperbeings are happy, which in turn blessing and making us happy. Fair share, if you ask me.
With all the prayers good and done, my younger sis and I get to play around with them candles. Here's a new one, candle on a Lotus leaf. Neat huh?
That aside, every year I get about to trying to complete my quest of putting up candles along the entire wall that surrounds the house. Sounds easy on its own but two things, it's a long wall and I'm the only one up for the quest... I believe one year I ran out of candles but this year, I managed to complete this quest. Yay~! [Exp points goes up]
What to do with all the candles in a row? Why, go crazy with the camera, of course. Just something about the dancing flames and coloured wax dripping in ways you can't control is mesmerizing...
And why stop at only candles burning when their boxes are also a nice source of fun. I believe you guys are familiar with me setting candles boxes alit. [grins] Burn~!
My Highlight of the Night would be the paper lantern that combust into flames. We need to buy more paper lanterns anyway... Hehe.29th Sept 2007 - Bintang Student Night
I don't know if you all know that I was taking vocal classes since June.. That'll make it about 3 months?
I won't say that I can sing well... I know plenty others who can sing better than me, which is quite discouraging but I can also sing better than some. I just love singing I guess. I had been in the music club from standard 1 to form 3, in the choir not solo act..
I got my chance to perform on my very first solo act on stage in the spotlight and all, last saturday (29th Sept). I did my very best to perform and had not much pressure, luckily for me. I had fun singing my 2 songs ("She's the One" by Robbie Williams and "One Love" by Blue) but having to sing for 4 hours straight was a nightmare.
The management had each student perform 2 songs at least and that came up to about 60 songs... 1 song is about 3 - 5 minutes would bring us to 240 minutes (4 hours). The event started at 8pm so we left at midnight, and even that was prior to the games that they had planned to play... Puiyeel, my younger sis and myself went to have dim sum for supper. Love dim sums too. Hehehe~! Cheers!
