Busy week

Last Friday

Morning went back office for meeting. After that went with Rovin to Suntec to see the game convention.

Met up his brother and Weiliang. Weiliang was my Japanese classmate when I was in poly. Still remembered those days where we disturbed the pretty Jap teacher. Now all my Japanese knowlegde all gone except.

"Toire doko desuka"

Why remember this phrase? Go check out the meaning.

The convention was big with only a few booths. EA, Ninetendo, Playstation, Razer, Asus, Blizaard, AMD ... and a few other online gaming companies.

Even though it was not crowded, still did not experience playing Wii, paiseh. There were mini-booth where there would be a Wii girl teaching the public how to play. One of the booth had a chio girl guiding a 4yr old boy playing. Damn we were so envious of the small little boy.

No doubt in the end, Rovin managed to get one of the girls to guide him playing. LOL.

The Wii girls are like school girls dressed in white without much makeup.

My favorite are Razer girls like Race Queen or KTV pattern LOL.

Too bad no pictures.

They were giving out free Razer lanyards to the public, instead of handing to you, they put it on your head for you.

In the end walked around and left at 4pm because my phone battery was flat and had to go back and charge.

Reached home and then left for orchard 530.

Met Jimmy at Cineleisure for dinner. Jimmy and Benson were interested in a Degreee programme by APMI KAPALAN on some digital media and the training event was free. So having nothing to do, I joined them. Earlier Jimmy had completed his exams and would be having holidays till October. Soon Benson came and joined us after his work. The event was scheduled to start at 7pm, but we reached the place at 745pm LOL.

The campus was located behind centrepoint inside the Starhub building. We actually thought of backing out after reaching the place, as it was very quiet and very late.

Finally, decided to go for the event. It was talking about "Machinima". The lecturer was an Ang Moh showing the attendees some of the videos/movies people use to make from video games like Halo, SIMS and Half-Life2.

The Halo screen showed the player lobbing grenades at the jeeps and seeing the jeeps flying very high over the mountains, performing many stunts.
The Half-life 2 screen was a court screen depciting a scene in the movie " A few good men".
Lastly the SIMS were used to make the MV of Guang Liang's Tong Hua.

At the end of presentation we were given software like the new MMORPG Grando Espada, FRAPs and Windows Movie Maker to make our own videos. Jimmy and I make our video out of a battle scene, and was seriously OWNED as his character level was higher and stronger.

Left around 9pm and as Benson wanna get a shirt, we try our luck at Paragon. Close to 10pm most shops would be closed, but luckily he managed to get his stuff. We then decided to walk around before went to Starbucks to grab a drink and chat.

Headed for home around 11pm
