That's What I Go to School For

For the title, you can easily tell when I actually drew this: in class yesterday.

If you observed properly, you can guess that this paper is actually a chemistry assignment, with all the chemical structures drawn on the other side of the paper.

Such a Mess

With some many pending homework, I don't think I will have time to post anything for the rest of the month. 5 assignments, 4 lab reports and 2 tests before the semester finals is just way too much. Will somebody help me?

Me with a Stormtrooper at DaiCon. Someone said that the person inside the armour is actually the infamous Danny Choo. Oh well.

A Quiet Investigation

I was halfway working . About 0830. Busy filing stuff, which is part of my job description.

Suddenly, I heard some noise. It sound like... someone snoring.

Well, there is this new student helper who really breathe heavily, so I thought he was short of breath again. But when I looked up, he was indeed sleeping while he was flipping through some student files... and no one in the office suspected him to pull such an act at all. In fact, no one noticed even though his snorring was quite loud, loud enough to wake the dead.

Bro, you totally owned. Wished that I could do that without ppl realizing. That way lecturers will not caught me sleeping in class anymore...

Seriously, I am going to blame my Upper Secondary Mathematics teacher, dear Ms. Eng, for developing the habit of sleeping in class, and as smoker always say, it is difficult to kick the habit. Too bad for me for not having any innate defense to her hypnotizing-yet-cute voice. That is the reason why females always able to make their way through the mind defense of males. It's in their genes.

Now I just fall asleep in class whenever I can. How true is this?

The Prince of Darkness

OMG! Another net-storm have landed Malaysia. It is no longer about the sex scandal involving a minister of the government, but rather something about anime. Yes and in the worse case scenario it might turn up in the newspaper headlines.

The story goes: A hardcore Malaysian fan stole and drank from the water bottle previously used by the singer Chihara Minori and even posted his photos in his blog. In fact, a few of them drank from the bottle, but so far he was the only one confessed to be responsible for the act.

Friends and some supporters think that it was courageous.

Netizens and fans thinks that the act was sickening.

But one question. Wouldn't most fans do the same, particularly for the personal belongings of an idol? Assuming you got your hand on... the mug that this idol of yours used, u wouldn't have wash it, but rather keep in safe. Or worse, you might even use it?!

So what would be your verdict for the act carried out by this prince of darkness?

Last Impression

I have some first impressions and last impressions on the DaiCon event, the latter was built on blogs and forums posting I read.

First Impressions:

1040-Entered the hall's reception area. Greeted by committee members who distributed handouts for the event. T_T When I saw the listing of the songs to be performed by Chihara Minori and kinda felt like I am going to miss the main attraction of this event (I certainly did regret about this in my last impressions of the event).

Well the T-shirt was not as attractive as those for CF'08, which again made me regretted for not purchasing them last year. The rest of the company was kinda new to this kind of event and was keen to checking the place out. So we quickly headed into the hall.

This is the largest collection of Gachapon machines I have ever seen.
Count the number in this picture and multiply it by 4 times to approximate the sum.

This MMU hall is extremely spacious and INTI's Multipurpose Hall is only about half in comparison to that, not to mention there's even a second level of seatings for MMU's hall.

1130- Done seeing everything in the convention. Pretty small though. I heard that this is the 1st DaiCon event, so I guess I can understand. Pratically what was found at the convention can be summarized into several points:

• 7 doujin groups that sell their merchandises in small booths. I was expecting more doujin artists to turn up. But oh well, this is not ComicFiesta.
  
• KKnM booth that sells original merchandise. Crap, an original imported T-shirt actually cost RM114.90. Even though these are expensive, but the queue was unexpected long.
• There quite few cosplayers that turn up for the event. Probably because DaiCon date clashes with CosFest in Singapore.
• Activities such as Karaoke Competition, Cosplay Competition etc. was kinda lacking of good contestants. Probably the emcee did an unsatisfactory job of promoting them to the audience.
  
• There's a Macross gallery in substitute for Gundams and other Gunpla model kits. Kinda oof a new and fresh idea.

Guitar Hero for the PS3 seems to be another attraction for the convention.

Figurine Mall was also there.
For the 1st time, I wondered why this hobby is gender-biased.

One of the many cosplayers posing for the photographers.
I took a quick snapshot and left.

1250- Seeking for food. Well, we went pizza for lunch and then make one more tour about the convention before going back. It was in this second touring that I spotted more cosplayers and started to take more photos. I also purchased an A4-sized poster and got it signed by the doujin artist. Syok!

0210- We decided to leave the place, and the rest of the company obviously looked disappointed due to the poor attendence of cosplayers. Or maybe it's pretty girls they were looking for. I wouldn't know and I wouldn't want to know either. So off we went while we listen to some anime OSTs throughout the journey back home...

Damn lazy to upload anymore more of the photos coz each are sized 3Mb, so it took a very long time to upload them here.

Twilight

DaiCon, here we come. Our company comprised of 4 members, namely me and 3 more who will be known by their initials: AJP, CKL and CJX. AJP even printed an A4 size of the visitor pass to be placed on the dashboard of his car in order enter the campus.

We left Kajang with high hopes, but most of us returned with slight dissapointment. Of course, that doesn't include me. I was pretty happy with the experience, only kinda regretted that I couldn't afford the tickets to the Chihara Minori concert.

Cyberjaya was like a ghost town. From the highway exit to the venue, the number of cars we saw on the 10km stretch of road was less than 5. Many corporate companies have their headquarters here, but we don't see any life in this city. Now I understand why MMU students always run to Seri Kembangan (the Mines). Lolz.

And finally, after much difficulties, we arrived at MMU. One funny part was we actually went around the roundabout near the security booth at the entrance because we couldn't find the way to the hall due to poor signage. In other words, we got lost within the campus itself. Almost all the netizens who went to the event agreed on this.

I was wondering was the event really on when we drove into MMU.

The campus was all too quiet.

This is hall which the convention was held.

To complete this post later... going to play basketball...

Heartbeat, Heartbreak
