Bookfest/Rojakfest Malaysia 2009

If you have been reading newspaper for the last few weeks or so, you should know there's a Bookfest in KLCC. And it's RM2 per entry, unless you < 18 years or > 60 years old.

Yesterday, I went to the Bookfest with both my sis. With my youthful looks, I cheat my way inside. I only become 19 years old for 2 weeks only, and I ain't gonna pay RM2 to go to a bookfest! The same can't be said for my Big sis, who sometimes people thought she's my mother! (Muahaha!)

I sort of expected this bookfest becomes worst time by time, as the favorite section of mine keeps getting lesser bookshelves.


About the Rojakfest on the title, I think this Bookfest is slowing morphing into a Book/Camera/Computer/Music/Stationary/bag fest. Don't believe me? Look at the photos! Slowly but surely, the book percentage inside the bookfest is slowly taken away by other non-related items.


The Books Section...


The Camera Section...


Bag/Stationary


Computer


Game/Music/Speaker/Videos


Computer things again...

I didn't went to Hall 1~2 since those 2 halls is full of Chinese books anyway. So I didn't buy anything in this Bookfest.

Next time I don't think I will be going to the Bookfest again, as I think that next time the Books section is gonna be reduced to 75% or less.

Anyway, I saw something interesting.


Nothing is in contact with the ball!

Here's another closer look.

RM 3 per day or RM 50 per clamp? Your choice~

Both My Sis are coming back today.

I can't wait for them to come back ~ My little sis went to Johor for some school trip and my Big sis coming back from Aussie for [I don't remember] reason. Big sis will be bringing back some books which I have waited for so long to read! The War of the Spider Queen~ I have book 1~3 and 7~9. Sucks to read 7~9 if I don't know what happened in the middle.

On a side note, I broke 1 of the push pin of Intel cooler. The only way that I don't have to go buy another replacement cooler is by screwing the cooler onto the motherboard (In which I did, with my dad's help). Man...Intel should really redesign the push pin rather than redesign the their CPU logos == Lucky AMD doesn't have that kind of a problem (My next computer is going to be AMD!).

CodeMasters seminar

Went to the Codemaster seminar at my uni. Forgot to mention, our APIIT also got H1N1 case too! The guard was checking everyone temperature and I slipped inside when he was checking others~

Anyway, I forgot who this guy is.



Some random shots





What I like the most is the video he shows, rather than when he was talking. Even now, I don't even remember what he said. I think it's something about soft skills > hard skills. At least it's more entertaining than the SAD~

My lucky birthday :)

12th August was my birthday. And I have a feeling that my luck just increased a wee bit on birthday.

Normally on morning 8am, the highway to APIIT will usually be congested. Not to mention it rained a few hours before...and it's gonna be hell of a traffic jam. Well, lucky me, there's hardly any traffic jam after the first small part of a road. That day is the earliest time I ever went to APIIT...yet.

And when I go and buy the Xbox 360 Controller, it costs me only RM70, down from RM90. I think I played some part in confusing the seller...hehe....or perhaps it's a discount for coming there even if it's raining~

Now for the birthday PARTY my friends had for me...

During the first lecture, my friends act as if today there's nothing happening, and I go along with them...who would have thought these have have evil plans brewing inside their minds....

After that lecture, they suggest going to the mamak restaurant at ENT3 to buy some canned drink. On the way back to APIIT, they opt to go for the grassy path rather than the staircase. Midway through the grassy path, I think I heard Long Kor and Jitren starts saying "Ready or not" or something like that. Looking the posture of Long Kor ready to blast the canned drink at me, I ran like dog chasing after me. I didn't get splashed from the FIRST can, but the other can, gave me some mild splashing. phew....the worse has yet to come...

Back at APIIT, they decide to choose an empty room and starts stripping my clothes off. Getting raped by men sucks big time! Just like back in Chong Hwa where they aruba and chair you when it's your birthday ><

Anyway, that's all for my birthday~ I'm not really a birthday guy. Not to mention that I won something from the Times~

G.I.Joe : The Rise of the Cobra short review

Firstly, I not a G.I.Joe fan, other than knowing it's a line of toys from Hasbro.

Second, thank god the cinema have advertisement for twenty minutes, if not I will surely missed the 1st 20 minutes of the movie. We had to crawl over the line divider since the ticket collector went to god knows where. Our ticket is still fully intact after the movie ends.

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="320" caption="The coolest guy in the movie : Snake Eyes!"][/caption]

G.I.Joe, same as Transformers, is a line of toys made by Hasbro. And I must say....it's A DAMN GOOD MOVIE!!!! If you like the Transformers, I bet you will like this film too.

The CGIs are cool, the weapon are cool and the characters are cool too! There are random funny jokes too. And seeing Snake Eyes dishing out with Storm Shadow. Whoa! Reminds me of Darth Maul(Star Wars 1) fighting with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. By the way, the actor(Ray Park) who portrayed Snake Eyes is also the actor of Darth Maul! I just love the sword fighting!

Some might complain the CGI looks fake on eye, but I can't tell the difference, or maybe I just don't care. It looks good enough for me. The character development are quite good too, by the way of showing flashback. That brings you up to speed to knowing the character if you're not a G.I.Joe fan.

IMO, this movie deserves a 4.5/5. I wished it is longer though, like Transformers 2~

I'm really really lucky. or not?

I won an iPhone 3G 8GB from this contest. Wish me luck to convince the Times to let me use my prepaid rather than using the iValue plan.

I hardly use over RM10 in a month and now that plan wants me to pay RM100 per month for at least 12 months? Siao ar? I just paid RM33 for the 365 days validity leh!

I would rather top up a little bit for the iPhone rather than using the plan.

Now I wonder if it's lucky for me to win it or unlucky to win it.

Anyway, back to Guild Wars.

By the way, what would you guys and girls do if you won an iPhone? Sell it or use it?

Human Sandwich Fair

That's the other name I gave to PC Fair. No joke cause you really got sandwiched by MANY MANY people!

Anyway, back to the fair. Promised to meet my friends at 1 pm. Apparently we got confused about the meeting place and end up skipping the PC Guru section of the fair to find him, Joel. Stupid me didn't hear what the other friend was talking over the phone. Jitren was rather...unsatisfied...because skipping the PC Guru means skipping the girls in there too. So typical of him == and so lucky of me. Though I'm still curious what they were showing in the PC Guru though.

Anyway, we walk around, look at things, getting squashed by hordes of humans. Waves and Waves of humans!





Me and Joel doesn't have anything to buy, but as always, Jitren will surely splurge $$ in every pc fair. Not once I seen him not using $$ in pc fair.
