A Fully Occupied Weekend

This is an enjoying weekend which I have been fully occupied on both days either with event, study or outing.
On Saturday morning been busy with some servicing and adjustment on my car for a better performance and in the noon cause of being alone at home so I just blast my music to the max with my collection of music whole day while doing my Japanese study.
At night I went over to Nilai for colleague(Boo and Mak)'s housewarming steamboat. There were others there and the food prepare was good one.

The table is full with food ready to be place into the pot which have soup and also Tong Yam flavor soup to be boil. The food here is actually enough to feed 8 person even though in this picture it looks like the amount is quite less.
The 8 person which is hunger for the steamboat. Somehow this picture is giving a fell of like a family gathering for a meal only although everyone in this picture is about the same age. The pot is actually getting ready to be overflow while taking this pictures but everyone seems to be more interested in taking the picture rather than keeping the food in it's best state.
Everyone is feeding from the pot and this is actually the second round of the steamboat where the food is almost 70% gone and everyone is still going for the good food but seems that after this round everyone is loaded and could not eat anymore.
After eating, everyone start sitting around and chit-chatting while hugging something. Jokes, news, information, private talk is all being shared and also lough about and at the same time red wine is being drunk.
After that as usual the liquor will be bring out and everyone start playing games and in the end some of then will start turning red and doing some unimaginable thing and this will only be know by people that is in that party. This is really a good night spending with you guys.

As on Sunday, went to time squear for the Anime Hanabi Festival which is done by my sister's junior in college. She also bought 2 lucky draw tickets as support and ask me to bring it there. Arriving at 11 on Sunday really shows that KL people don't get up early on weekends, the crowd there is really less at that time but since there are some of them(guessing would be the students who organise) the event is in cosplay look already so start taking pictures with some of them.

A group of them is gathering in front of 1 booth and getting attentions from photographers(of course including myself) and starting to take pictures. There is also a conner where photographers gather and asking those cosplay characters to poss over there and all cameras start working.
There are plenty of group present there because other than the official organizer there, on that day itself also there is a cosplay group competition and this is easy to see cosplay which are match among few person.
Other than those good looking cosplay, there is also this pretty girl who is there promoting for few online games like High Street 5. Just feel that she is quite pretty and capture a few pictures of her.
About 12.45pm, I felt hungry and plan to go to cold storage to get something light for lunch and as I reach the lower ground floor, there is an event going on near the stage which is the done by an online game Money King. While walking by, there is a few promoter which caught my attention(of course are those sexy and pretty one). So I plan to go into the event area to take pictures but once I approach the entrance area there is people stopping me because that area is only for invited gamers.
Then i plan just go to the side and just take some pictures but after taking 2 pictures there is the organizer of the event which is leading 3 reporter photographer into the event area stop beside me and somehow he mix me up with those reporter and ask me do I have a pass to enter. That mean while I was blur and just answer i don't have any and he invited me to go in joining the other reporter. So i just join in since he have mistaken me as a reporter, why not just act as 1.

In the event area before the stage there is a red carpet leading to the stage and both side of the carpet there are these pretty model standing there. It seems like a really big event and I still don't know what really is happening or who might appear but just follow the crowd.
After waiting about 10 minutes, the main focus of the whole event appear and from the picture I guess everyone know who is it, he is Bosco Wong who also is the game representative agent. Since I have been mistaken as a reporter so manage to get a consider up close picture taking of him.
After taking pictures, he proceed on stage and it seems the event on that day is he will be choosing a female secretary representing his online game from 12 finalist girl and a DJ from MY FM Mie Yan also is there as a MC for that day. As usual this type of competition the 12 finalist will require to perform or answer some question regarding to the game and also how to be a good secretary. Other than that, near the end of the competition, Bosco Wong also perform by singing his song with all 12 beautiful finalist on stage and he approach each of them.
After the performance then is the time for the result to be annouce. I only stay till after the first place is being annouce and price is given although there is a authograph session after that but I am more interested to continue going back to the Hanabi Festival.

When went back to the exibition hall for the second time at about 2.30pm, it seems there is a bigger crowd there and at the same time I manage to capture a group of cosplay-er having fun doing some dance there and is just a simple movement.

I continue walking around there capturing few more cosplay costume that I have not seen in the morning and also before going back manage to take a few pictures with some pretty cosplay-er.

Little self-awarding night

As usual today just back from work went to gym and then spend the rest of the night facing the laptop and also my Japanese language studying material. Tonight is a bit special because there some special thing to put into mouth while studying which is chocolate. Not just normal chocolate which can be buy from stores but is chocolates all the way from Paris.
Having these chocolates in the mouth and letting it melts off slowly the feeling is completely different compare to those normal chocolate usually ate. The smoothness of the chocolate melting is something cannot be describe with words and need to have the actual feeling of tasting the chocolate then only can understand.
Other than the chocolates, I also manage to obtain tickets to the Anime Hanabi Festival that is going on in Times Square on this weekend. Guess other than going there for animes, manga, and also other available things there. It is also a perfect time to put my new camera in action capturing nice cosplay there. (Hopefully there is some really cute and pretty ones)
So all those anime, manga, cosplay and even singing fans outside there get out of your house/otaku life on this weekend and get into some real fun there.

A Study Weekend

Since graduating till now, I have never study on weekend but this is the first. Spending whole Sunday preparing and studying for my coming Japanese exam which is one month away from today. Studying vocabulary, kanji, and grammars.

Somehow while studying having feeling nervous for the exam although there is still 1 month to go. Maybe is because still not prepare at all and also in my mind still a great big mess.
Maybe should put more effort in studying and more time also so can be more confident in it.

Re-'starting' my Blog with a brand new camera

Since 1 year ++ of stop writing in this blog because of certain reason, now have decided to continue back everything that have been leave behind. The other reason to continue this blog because I have just bought a new camera, which is Nikon DSLR D5000.
Spending up to 3k for this camera is my first time spending so much of my own salary. Spending this much although feeling a bit 'heart pain' but it's worth for it. Now I can have own camera and start taking pictures anytime I want.
With this camera will be starting my journey of pictures and all pictures will be place in this blog with it's story. To prove of this change, the title of this blog will be change from "Horizon" to "Pictures Memories".
Hope this will be a good starting for me and also this blog, hope everyone can support.
