i was waiting for chee ying's call yesterday because she and ai luang were coming down from cyberjaya to hang out in melaka. they called me around 8pm and say they were travelling down and they haven't taken dinner. so i thought of having dinner with them because i have no time to hang out with them on saturday as i was going to mid valley megamall, kuala lumpur for the axn anime fest thingie. anyway i was waiting until i can't wait anymore and went for dinner alone. met up with them after watching survivor 7 and went for a drink until around 2am. slept at 6am because i wanted to finish harry potter and the order of the phoenix. and i was supposed to wake up at 8am! by the way, i still prefer harry potter and the goblet of fire as my favourite in the whole series because i think the 5th book was to draggy.

so after 2 hours of "temporary blinding", woke up and was on my way to KL in no time. talked to gek suan along the way because she was feeling down while stopping once in a while to tease eileen and ee lin (confused? sometimes i do too..but only when speaking their names). reach there around 11 something and the crowd was already so big even before the gates to the event were opened. so me and my god sisters huwi yin and gek suan plus diana went for lunch first. then we met up with hong aun and kenny who were taking part in the cosplay competition. i became their assistant (more like clothes hanger) while they dress up in their costume. the end result was kinda nice and they do attract a lot of attention. makes me feel like cosplaying too at that time. after watching them perform, i had a good feeling that they are going to win something. sure enough, kenny came out tops and hong aun 3rd. now for some benefit of being a clothes hanger... *greedy thought*

anyway, i did sort of win something in the event. it was a giant poster of the online game ragnarok online. got it by going up the stage (holding 2 digicams, wearing 2 watches and a sling bag on my shoulders) and answering a simple question. i don't really fancy that poster but somehow many people grew green with envy when they saw me having that poster. gave me a reason to be proud of myself. hehe...

on another note, i saw someone (2 people actually) which i don't really fancy seeing at that time. ironically, i was telling gek suan in the bus that i had thought that i might saw them there. it's not the first time in recent months that what i say became reality. scary! here are few instances :-

case 1 : huwi yin was gloating on finishing her exams before me when the exam timetable was drafted. i told her that maybe she will finish later than me when the final timetable was out. it happened, but later this was superceded by the next thing i said and in the end i finished my exams a mere few hours after her...

case 2 : many people received tips for their database systems final exams from a certain lecturer, and the question and answers from the tips were similar to the final exam paper. as a result many people did well while those who didn't get the tips did not do so well. i didn't care much about it. and then i saw thye shin while shopping at tesco and i was telling him that maybe somebody would complain and we would have to re-sit that paper. it happened.

case 3 : i insisted on lending my jacket to huwi yin for her missionary camp but she refused. i told her she might get sick from the cold of the night. it happened AGAIN.

case 4 : perhaps kenny and hong aun won because eileen asked me to say that they will win...


edited // forgot to mention that the mc for the anime fest was damn cool. he managed to hype up the crowd with his spontaneous jokes and acted together with the cosplayers. even managed to keep his cool when a rude cosplayer smack him behind the neck. respect!
