Two is Better Than One

Much had happened in the past 9 days that made my 2 months long semester break worthwhile. Of course I have to thank my friends for bringing me around. After all, I am the only one in the clique that is still not allowed to drive with parent supervision. T_T

Cameron Highland

As mentioned in the past posting, I stayed at Tanah Rata of Cameron Highland during a 2D2N trip there. Though some mishap happened to one of the company, we still did enjoy ourselves there. Did I mention of my addiction to alcohol? I had a serious case of car sickness and the only medication that was able to relieve my suffering was in fact an alcohol named Dimple. Although Dimple is no woman, but it also kept me warm during the cold night just like a vodka. And thus, I am now addicted to alcohol.

Ice Skating at Sunway Pyramid

Just a day before going to PD and a day after returning from Cameron Highland, I went ice-skating with an unlikely company that was assembled from the remnant of a failed 5C gathering at McDonald. At first, I wasn't into the idea. After all, a beginner like me sure to fall a few times as I try to figure out how to ice-skate. Indeed I fell and fell.. fell so many times. My ankles also bruised due to friction with the shoes.

In the end, I concluded that I paid RYM30 to get myself injured. RYM30 worth of experience that is.

Port Dickson (PD)

Before I could even recover from the injuries in my last outing, I have departed on a roadtrip to PD. Throughout this 3D2N trip, I had

• tasty, delicious crabs
• beach soccer
• mahjong
• go-cart
• eggs (Seremban-styled fried eggs and scrambled eggs)
• Maggi cup noodles
• fishing
• BBQ
• and more importantly, fun!

I kinda expected more from this trip, but entirely I am glad that I enjoyed the PD trip. The only regret was that I did not get to dip in the sea at all, not even once......

ComicFiesta '09

And this was taken today at the event. Practically us anime-enthusiasts had been planning this trip since the end of Daicon this July [link]. Being a volunteer at CF'08 [link], I was appointed to be the guide for this outing. In summary, CF'o9 had

• more cosplayers (moe...kawaii...totally awsm)
• more noise due to the awesome emcees
• more sponsors, particularly Wacom!! that meant promotion on drawing tablets! Now I am pondering on whether I should get one as soon as possible
• more expensive entrance fee (ouch!)

Guess our comic industry is not as shabby as I thought. By the way, I did contribute to the industry by purchasing comics for the larger comic publisher in Malaysia, Gempak Starz and got it autographed by its author, Keith!
