I actually plan to write the entire trip when I returned home, but I won't be home until 4th Jan, I might forget what happened lol~

18 Dec 2009
- Fly to Kuala Lumpur, when I reached, I was searching hard for Kidchan. I kept staring at random girls wondering if they are her. lol Until I saw a girl with "Zeiva" written big on a paper. (De javu with the first time I met Holly. She hold large paper with "Sensei" =P)
- Went to Sunway Pyramid, (the place CF took place) and it's so grand LOL! Much nicer looking than any other con in US. US, shame on you for having lousier con than Malaysian one.
- Met with some of Kidchan's friends, Terra, Anna, and a bunch of others (I suck remembering names or faces... I am sorry... Orz)
- Hearing people calling me Zeiva sounds so awkward LOL!!! Man, looks like I have to stuck with that name. It's odd to be called by your team/company name instead of your real name.
- Kidchan was making notebook, and she printed her stuff last minute. Her notebook cover so pretty!!!
- Met Toonikun in Printing place.
- Kidchan, Tooni, and Terra stayed up late working on kidchan stuff. I helped out a bit before I slept. I wonder if Kidchan even get any sleep >__<;;;

19 Dec 2009
- CF started. As usual, it took me 5 minutes to set up everything. So I spent the time before con start by looking at other people booth. (They call it booth instead of table.)
- My table is right under the air con. So much for KL being a hot place. I was freezing to MAX. Luckily my neighbour lent me her jacket. She is a life savior.
- Met with Yan, so happy with her around. I didn't want to bother Kidchan since she looks so busy. Yan bought me food and hot milo.
- First day traffic is ok. Probably akin to ALA's. Gotten myself 6 commissions with 4 being done at home.
- Ate Steam boat for dinner.
- Got caught by police asking me if I am illegal worker. I LOLed hard.

20 Dec 2009
- Yan didn't come because she went with her family. So I was pretty lonely. Luckily my neighbours are super nice people. Fun talking to them.
- Kidchan's booth filled with people as usual.
- I was bursting with laughter when they played super junior's "sorry, sorry" in con.
- Traffic is more in second day. I got myself 8 commissions. I almost died.
- Ate at Chinese restaurant. KL food is heavenly. Honey Lemon is godly drink.
- Went to Karaoke for Kidchan and her team to count money. But we still ended up karaoke-ing anyway lol
- Anna has godly voice. I can mistake her for a pro singer.
- The only song I sang was broken Titanic duet with Kidchan.

21 Dec 2009
- Kidchan went to see her friends. She left me sleep until afternoon.
- I woke up and text her, but it seems that they don't go through.
- I decided to go out of the room when I can't stand the hunger. Luckily Kidchan's roomate so nice and he brought me to eat dinner.

22 Dec 2009
- Kidchan brought me to Gempak (a local magazine/manga publisher) It's pretty awesome though I might have talked too much there ^^;;; I am in no place to critisize their system especially when they are so succesful.
- People there work really fast.
- Then we went to Kinokuniya, but shame on me that I did't buy anything in the end.
- Finally we ate Baikut Teh for dinner.

23 Dec 2009
- Go to Kidchan school. Better looking than AIS. Lol, US so lame, how come it lost to Malaysia in almost every way???
- Ate breakfast with Kidchan and Terra.
- Then we rushed to airport... only to find out the flight was delayed.
- They gave me wrong direction and I boarded a wrong flight to Thailand LOL!!!
- Luckily I found out early or else I would have been lost in Thailand.
- Flight delayed again for another hour.
- Finally reached Singapore.

24 Dec 2009
- Bought plenty manga. Oh..... HEAVEN!!! I gotten myself new volumes of Area no kishi, smash, One Piece, Tekken Chimni and HxH.

25 Dec 2009
- Went to Yan house and she taught me lotsa Flash programming! Hopefully I can use it to create better game.

26 Dec 2009
- Ate super tasty crabs for dinner.
- Finally zeiva.net is back up. woo hoo~!



I swear I forgotten plenty details there. People in KL take care of me so well. Made me feel embarassed ^^;;; I feel bad for coming during the time Kidchan was busy. She probably lost plenty sleep thanks to me. I am sorry >_< Overall all it's a fun trip. If I have chance I like to visit again.

Today did a lot of errands, thanks so much to Jared for helping me sobssss thanks dude!!


I'm happy with the textured paper, the result is quite unexpected!!


And



I don't think anyone will buy this postcard



be right back masochisting!

I finally finished Athear. Woot~! I wouldn't say Athear's path is the best one (coz I think Naoru's way better), but it's shaping up to be better than I thought. At the very least, the crack ending is so funny, I was cracking hard while writing the script.

So, 2 more characters to go. That gotta delay till next year coz I'll be attending CF. (Pokes Kidchan XD)

In celebration of Athear's completion, I bring you.... uh.... list of my favorite music? ^^;;;



Chrono Trigger: Black Omen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb4YB0ia46w
- One of the biggest reason why CT is my most favorite game is this music. I fell in love almost instantly. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. So mysterious, so deep. My all time favorite music. Of course I wish it was created with higher quality, alas CT is an SNES game ^^;

Chrono Cross: Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27-DsLJ76aA
- Possibly the prettiest music ever. This pretty much the reason why Yasunori Mitsuda is my all time favorite composer. Chrono Cross has the best game soundtrack ever!

Breath of Fire III: Technology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfm8AHLXJWE
- Hmmm, maybe I like technology related music? Weird, because I am not a fan of sci-fi. Though this one has that soothing mysterious feel to it. Ok, maybe I just like mysterious music. lol

Breath of Fire IV: A Raging Emperor's Banquet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noRxXKRDRsM
- BoF4 isn't my favorite BoF, in fact it's probably the weakest BoF I've played, but this music literally floored me. It's so befitting to the story, when you fight against the first emperor.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Legendary Duel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0z6hV9D1f8
- How did Yu-Gi-Oh make it here? Well, I am not expecting it either. One thing for sure, the only reason I was able to go through all the episodes thanks to the really great soundtrack.



I have an odd taste. lol I have almost always prefer pure BGM over those with someone singing. I also like music that is a mood maker, making something ordinary into extraordinary. If it gives me the goosebumps, that's a good sign =P
