Recap : September...

September~~
Here goes the interesting part..hehe...lots have happened during this month.. :)
I'll start it off by the exam part...err...not so interesting about all these exam things though...
it's your typical final exams ,so there's nothing much about it...really..
except the fact that during that exam period,I had some great time playing balls with my housemates few days in a row...for the 1st time of 3 month I've came down here...it was fun indeed.
Then it was the time I had been waiting for...
2 weeks off since the beginning of September,when the whole exam finally ended,
it was 15th of Sep , & I was on my way to a budget airplane , flying towards Singapore ,
where the Game Convention Asia 09 was held ...
erm..kinda lazy to write much about it....though I really had a wonderful time over there,it was a nice trip...if anyone of you ever wonders about the details...just refer to my Facebook albums & see for yourself then... :p
(I figured any sane man who read this post will curse me for my laziness of not writing the details down..well,whatever:)
Alright...perhaps I should at least summarize what I've been doing down there...
The main reason I'd ever went there ,was because of the GCA . First heard of this convention from my lecturer, Mr. Khoo months ago, and since then I've planned my trip down to Singapore just to attend it. It's basically a game show , similar to a typical pc/technology fair you'd come across in our country ,but the main merchandise they are selling and displaying are none other than games or any other accessory related to game .Even in KL pc fair , the most you could find are those booth that are promoting various online games ( it's not that there's anything wrong with that , though I personally don't play any online games at all ,but the point is ,Malaysia's gaming market are heavily focus on online games, as I've been discussed in my previous post ,so you won't be able to see any large scale games exhibitions promoting console games around here)
That's why I was so eager about this trip , because I was about to attend my very 1st game show in my life :p
Though the scale of this GCA was not as big compared to the well-known E3 or TGS (obviously....),but at least it was an event that you'd never see in Malaysia any time soon (or never will be....)
There were pretty show girls everywhere , numerous game consoles with some of the latest games for free testing ,some pc games contest ,then there were also lots of cosplayers suddenly gathered there in huge crowd on the 3rd day of the event
( I guess it was probably weekends ,that's why those singaporean youngsters were so free enough to come out and show off their fancy costumes , but I've to admit ,their passionate about cosplay were indeed greater than our local ones ,at least from the looks of their costumes ,just go and view my facebook albums and you shall understand what I was trying to say:)
Besides sight-seeing over there , I was there to attend the free talks during the GCA too. And I really benefited a whole lot from those talks as they really exposed me with some worthy facts regarding the gaming industry .The gaming industry in Singapore is indeed getting much more attention and supports from its government and it's much more 'mature' than ours.That's because piracy remains a huge issue in our country that'd directly affects the growing of gaming industry over here , so I actually thought of starting my career in Singapore if possible ,as it would seems to be a brighter future for me in this path that I've chosen as compared to staying here.But even so , this is definitely not going to be an easy path for me should I really choose to walk it....or rather should I say, to eventually fulfill my dream along this path which I've already setting my foots on it , this is merely yet another challenge which I must overcome in order to proceed....

Recap : August....

It's been a god damn while since I last written any post over here...
I've been through plenty of things...the fun one,the sad one....
( erm...actually there weren't much sad things that happened recently..so let's just focus on the fun one ,shall we?:)
I'll summarize some 'main events' that happened since my last post...
AUGUST~~
-The PC fair was huge in KL..'Gained' something during that day....a 'life-time experience' indeed...

-There were the assignments rushing near the end of last sem ,the last 2 weeks of August was pretty hectic..(last minute rush for all the assignments of course..hehe)

-Felt a sense of accomplishment for both the Games Tech's Game Review Assignment (of which I wrote about MGS3,my favorite game of all time ;p) & the Programming Assignment as I got quite a high score for them & I was glad I was finally able to write a run-able program as compared to last time (or last year...)

-The same feeling on my Programming Practical test as well, I was simply thrilled by it because I was able to actually finish the question ,which I wasn't able to do so the last time I had the test:)

-The book fair was huge in KL...(i guess everything is pretty huge over here,eh?)..Bought a few nice cheap books & met up with some good 'o popular colleague knew from penang:)

...That's about August I guess...
