Just came back from GACC 2009 at Melaka and thanks to finishing the day 1 pictures post processing during my stay at the apartment over there, the pictures are up for your viewing pleasure at strikingly fast speeds(well, compared to the other posts here anyways LOL!). For more information of GACC, you may visit here.

To start this, first off i want to thank Philip for helping us out with various stuffs during our stay in Melaka, Razrig for inviting me over else i would most likely forfeit this GACC trip ^^, Valho and Kuzuryu for being very generous and lending their lenses for me to play with, and all the pictures you are about to see, are being shot with their lens. Lets not forget Misao for letting me to join his First day Gekisou Haruhi photoshoot, jcdish on helping out for the Day2 Haruhi/Mikuru photoshoot, and LilKev84 for treating us on a nice Nyonya dinner during our stay. Apologies in advance if i miss out anyone else.

And to roughly summarize GACC, GACC is just like any other ACG (Anime Comic Games) events, considering they do not have any special/main attraction this year unlike the previous ones where they had the seiryuu of Amuro Ray and Kurosaki Ichigo. That said, GACC is amongst the best of Malaysia’s ACG events considering their experience, and being ran by Emina, truly by fans for fans deal unlike some other events i could name of heh.

And just like other ACG events I’ve been attending (deja vu on this one?), we started out by helping Beansprout setting up his booth:

And lets not forget the obligatory taugeh silly pose:

And yeah Exiled_Gundam was not amused. The fun part of setting up beansprout’s booth is that you also get to play around with his figures, and below is a good example of it:

The expression seemed off though, as generally one would be happy being tied to a pretty girl in bikini. Then again the idea of dying for it may not be so pleasant, i guess.

Really loving this Yuki Cross from Vampire knight too, and yes, the awesomeness that is prime lens:

Later on we went to lunch and oh boy, this pizza place we went, which is only available in Melaka btw, is just, wow. The amount of cheese is like double Pizza Hut, and it tastes great! Not to mention they are using those classic thick wooden pans too, which is rare these days especially the likes of pizza hut lol. And as they say it best, a picture is worth a thousand words:

The biggest thing i really about GACC is that it’s REALLY stuffy and i sweat a lot, so it’s as if I’m totally drenched throughout the event. To make it worse i am getting a lot of comments regarding it lol. Oh wells, really hope they can get a better hall next time around. Thankfully they still have some sweet spots to relax around and below is an example of it:

Right in front of a giant air conditioner. lol.

Remember the private Haruhi photoshoot I mentioned earlier in this post? Here she is:

Well, i didn’t took that many pictures of her (or more accurately, didnt have that many good worthwhile pictures and they are being discarded) so i will settle with a mini gallery over a full page gallery which you may view below:

Full gallery for day 1 GACC is available here: http://www.quazacolt.com/galleries/gacc-2009-day-1-gallery/

The event was rather tiring and a part of it i suppose could be due to the hall being really really stuffy
Here we see TFM member Elfenrir dozing off in a corner for the evening lol:

That’s it for Day 1 GACC Hope you enjoy the post and pictures. Don’t forget to visit the gallery page for the full Day 1 pictures over here: http://www.quazacolt.com/galleries/gacc-2009-day-1-gallery/

Day 2 will be coming up pretty soon i hope

Happy new year 2009 to everyone from DMM! And since it is the year of the cow/moo/ox/things that gives milk, i hereby present you a random cowgirl image! Hope you guys enjoy that haha. Many things happened in 2008, namely the creation of this blog? LOL! Ive thought of providing some highlights of anime and what not, but thats pretty much covered by many many other blogs, so didnt feel like the right thing to do at the moment, especially with so many blog drafts to clear. (like the AFA/CF ones lol) MAYBE id do it sometime later but most likely not as by the time i got around it, it’d be meaningless

If you still would rather read up on those right NOW though, you can check out these 2 posts from wakarimasenlol and atarashi prelude from linkinstreet/shin respectively:

Moving on! Year 2008 ended in a big bang with the epic Ayaroll’d that I’ve so happen to participated in XD Pretty much left Malaysia in a bit of a spotlight attention thanks to Sankaku Complex.  Good or bad attention, now thats another story, as they say in showbiz, any PR is good PR

Got myself some Spice & Wolf Horo artbook, and a Haruhi artbook in hopes for Hiranomon Aya signature. While im a bit sour for the $$ pocket bleed, i had LOADS of fun on the hunt itself with the TFM/AS members on TFM chat room, and LYN /AS/ thread. Even bumped into some /AS/ folks at Kinokuniya bookstore. So much thanks to Aya Hirano for ending my year 2008 in a very memorable way

Also just recently i bought a bottle of Nippon Ringowork apple juice from Isetan KLCC. Im sure Horo would love it and i have plans for this beautiful bottle. (Honest to god i seriously bought this apple juice cuz of the bottle. Hail Japanese poisons)

Earlier Christmas i even celebrated christmas with TFM folks at Aiko‘s house at PTJ. Far, i know, but the cake was not a lie so it was worth it. Maybe…

Even earlier, i had my 2nd Yami shipped… along with MAI WAIFU – HORO PILLOW COVER XD

Shes like… so very soft, and fluffy, and very good to hug with. In fact, after bringing my pillow to the gathering at aiko’s place, i instantly poisoned Aiko and Loonsave into getting their own Anime pillow. Great success? Id say so myself.

Last but not least, I got my new blog cards printed! They get some minor touch up with some minor changes here and there. Overall they will look *slightly* better and people get to know my IRL name in case they somehow feel uncomfortable addressing me by my online nick XD
Not putting them up this time around as im rather lazy and there isnt that much of a change since the last one honestly. If for SOME reason you think im wimping out from my RL name being posted, all you need is a whois to my domain and thats it.  You can refer to my previous post for the card pictures here: http://www.quazacolt.com/events/2008/11/acf08-coverage/

Considering the lateness of this post into 2009, i have to mention this rather epic and misfortunate happening to jolt up my year 2009. On 05-06-2009 night, i was very tired for having almost no sleep from Sunday. While hugging my Horo pillow, i just fell asleep around 11pm-12am ish. It was very early considering my usual sleep times and with that, i woke up to a very pleasant morning considering the hours ive slept through.  On 06-01-2009 morning, after i parked my car at the Kepong KTM train station, while on my way to the station itself, i encounter some 2 indians (IN B4 RACIST) and an indian lady crying and begging them. There was quite a crowd of almost 10 people watching the show so i thought it was your usual “house drama” and decided to ignore and just move on. Before i even know it, there was a maschete thats at arm’s length and also rusted, pointed to my arm and one of the indian demanded my money and belongings/handphone.

At that moment, that pleasant morning was totally shattered and “o shi-” + “FUCK!” was all that was in my head. Thankfully im pretty much a poor person (no seriously, lol), and only had like 50+MYR on me, with me showing the robber my wallet (the one i used since primary school, like over 12-13 years ago? lol) is completely empty and im still using a Nokia 3310 handphone and upon taking that out, the robber got totally uninterested and just took my cash, leaving me unharmed.

After leaving the scene i tried to call 999 (our police hotline) with my handphone and i get “the number is not in service” crap. like, lol. So i end up going to Kepong Police station to make a report and upon reporting, then they started sending out patrols. Like seriously, at that time, i think the robbers are prolly in their homes or something lol’ing over the EZ cash, or perhaps hating me for being such a piss poor victim. I mean, with so many bystanders watching the show, with some even within the safety of their own homes (as that alley is between 2 rows of houses), considering the number, versus just 2 robbers, not only they did not help, they didnt even pick up the phone to make a police report? Fantastic! I hope the robbers next target would be those faggots right in their own homes.

Ending this, as usual, doing my best to get the pics out, so stay tuned for them
Many thanks to those who continue to stick with DMM ^^
