Konnichiwa minna-san... ヽ( ★ω★)ノ

Whoa... I've been extremely busy wif work, that I almost forgot to update on the recent Comic Fiesta 2013 which was held on 21st - 22nd Dec 2013 at KL Convention Centre. This is my first time going to an anime+manga+game (AMG) event, but I only could go for Day 1 coz I had a small budget, huhu~...

My parents didn't let me go there by myself, so my youngest bro tagged along. BEWARE! This post is gonna be full of pics, hoho XD There was a long queue of people buying the tickets. I queued for nearly 2 hours before I could buy our tickets. Tickets were also sold online but for early birds only.

A lot of AMG fans dressed up, or in other words, cosplayed as characters from anime, manga or games. It was very eye-catching to see them all in cute (and mostly handmade) customs.

Kurosaki Ichigo from Bleach

Tobi from Naruto

Miku from Vocaloid

Kenshin Himura from Samurai X

I spent RM200+ for 2 tickets (RM20 each) and AMG merchandise. There was so much to see & buy, but wif the limited budget, I could only purchase a few stuff. One of my best buys is a cute panda hat. (I'm a panda lover, so I like to collect panda stuff, hehehehe) I bought one for Hannah as well, hihi~... ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

 

I managed to purchase a Samurai X DVD here~.... ^_^

There are several booths that not only sell merchandise, but lets people draw and doodle whatever they like. Coz....most otakus (otaku is the term used to refer to AMG fans) can draw well, hihi~.. Except for me lah, I draw horribly, but I still took the chance to do some doodling, ngehehehe....

Late in the afternoon, I attended an otaku group gathering for Anime Fans Club [Malaysian Only] (click here for the group's Facebook link).

I can't wait to go for next Comic Fiesta this year, hihi~~~.... o(≧▽≦)o

Me wearing the panda hat & a panda fan that I bought there... :P

[Artwork] Salam Maulidur Rasul 1435H

Salam n hye everyone~!!

A new year has arrived and yes, it's my first blog post of 2014. I hoped my Muslim frens had a nice Maulidur Rasul celebration yesterday.

I actually do some artworks whenever I have ideas on what to draw. Recently, last Monday, I drew this artwork in conjunction wif Maulidur Rasul 1435H. I did it while in the office at work, wif a marker, since my drawing pens are back home. So, u can obviously see the thick lines, hoho XD

After years of drawing, my skills still haven't improved much..hahaha... Well, that's mainly bcoz I seldom draw... "-_-

Thanks for reading & happy blogging~!! ^_^

[Review] The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Salam n hye everyone~!!

The second part of "The Hobbit" trilogy is now showing in Malaysian cinemas since 12th December 2013, but it premiered the night before that in selected cinemas.

"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" starts off with a flashback scene of how Gandalf met Thorin Oakenshield. Then the story continues 12 months later showing the journey of the company of 13 dwarves, a wizard & a hobbit, namely Bilbo Baggins.

They are being chased by Orcs throughout the story. And encountered the Elves of Mirkwood and met Thranduil, Tauriel and....Legolas, hihi~... ^_^ There is a bit of a love story between the youngest dwarf, Kili (a.k.a Thorin's nephew) and Tauriel.

The company finally reached the Lonely Mountain despite having to go through a lot of dangers on the way. Bilbo then plays his important role as the burglar to try to steal the Arkenstone from Smaug, an enormous dragon who loves jewels & gold (and can talk too)

The story ends when the dwarves fail to defeat Smaug & the dragon flies out to the Laketown of Dale to cause chaos there. Owh yeah, forgot to mention about Bard the Bowman who plays an important role in the last movie of the trilogy, which will be in cinemas next year, hehehehe... :P

If you wanna know more about the story, you could juz read various reviews online, or read the book, or....go watch the movie yourself! ^_^

Last night, Friday night to be exact, I treated my siblings to watch the movie in 3D. It was our first time watching a movie together & I thought of treating them since I juz received my first salary of my freelance translator job (plus the fact that we're fans of "The Hobbit" & "Lord of the Rings")

We watched it at GSC, Setia City Mall in Setia Alam, not far from Shah Alam & Klang. It was my first time buying the tickets online, hihi~... Although it said that the movie would start at 11.40 pm, it actually started at midnight (after all of those commercials & trailers, that is) It was a packed hall, all seats were taken, so I was grateful that I had bought the tickets 2 days earlier, hihi~...

It's a great movie & last night was an awesome memorable experience wif four of my siblings (one brother was unable to go since he's in India)

Thanks for reading & happy blogging~!!
