To WCG and Back
Whatsup guys. :D
I has an amazing happy story to share. (and interesting too)
For the first time in my kambing life, I’ve joined the World Cyber Games in Malaysia. The last time I tried to join, I got rejected because of underage eventhough I signed a parental consent form.
fgsfds.
Anyway.

The World Cyber Games 2010 was held at Midvalley from 16 July to 18 July. I departed from Miri on 15th (but originally supposed to fly on 16th, thanks to my buddy mootchan, I found out it starts on Friday. *rage rage*) and arrived at KL laaaaaate at night.
Sigh. Penat.
Oh before I start about KL, I’ve been practicing my ass off on Guitar Hero 5 every single day for 2 weeks straight until the day I hurt my neck because I slept in an awkward position.
Gaddemu. Had to walk around with my head tilted to the right for 2 days. And if I attempted to straighten my head, I’d squeal for no certain reason whatsoever. Heck, I even laughed like a psycho with manly tears shed for no apparent reason when I hurted myself by straightening my head. NO FUNNY.
Anyway. Arrived 2 Minutes To Midnight at my aunt’s house in Gombak. Phew.
NEXT DAY!
Went to MidValley so damn early. In the e-mail (well, I didn’t get one) it is stated that registration starts at 9am or 10am. I can’t remember.
But the gates were still closed. What is this I don’t even.

But the gates eventually opened 30 minutes later (Malaysian time).
Registered myself, saw on the list there were 10 people registered for Guitar Hero 5. Woah. *gulp*
Was wandering around, and saw the PCs that will be used for FIFA, Warcraft III, Starcraft, etc. etc. etc.
At the end of the hall, there’s the tournament bracket.

Well finally. Let’s see a bit closer who are my opponents shall we?
ZOOM. ENHANCE. TINT. CONTRAST. SLEEP MODE.

Oh lol Chapree. D:
Takut lol. Because he represented Malaysia during the WCG Asian Championship. Respect yo!

And this is how big the TV is for the contestants to play GH5. Hueg. Sponsored by Samsung.
Here’s the thing. Out of the registered 10 players, from my understanding, only 3 came, and one made a last minute registration. To be honest, I was quite disappointed at the outcome of GH5.
So the contestants of GH5 was me, Jinn, Chapree and Slayzaerath (betul ker ni? lol)
We started playing against eachother in a form of group stages.

Greng greng greng. Oh gi-gitar solo~

From a different angle!
Next up it was Chapree!

Serious face is serious.

On the other side of the area, there’s the Tekken 6 tourney going on as well.


At the arena, it was the opening ceremony of WCG. Officiated by YB Ahmad Shaberry Cheek.

Quite awesome to see him strum the guitar then suddenly Sweet Child of Mine is played out of nowhere.
YB, nak challenge Guitar Hero tak? XD
On the first day itself I managed to plunder a lot of loot. Yarr.

Razer goodies galore! (got myself a WCG vest yo. Initially got S but changed it for L. good enough. Razer shirt tak dapat diselamatkan. M will do just fine but not for me).
Went back home and had dinner alone…
…which is a plate of Mi Goreng with telur goreng.

Sigh. Bachelor life in KL without transportation is hard indeed.
On to Day 2!
The Guitar Hero 5 Finals! (wah so fast?!)
But before that, there were cosplayers going on stage doing god knows what.

Here we can see Jin Kazama trying to take over the Zaibatsu Corporation. But unknown to him, some apek tries to fight him.
What is this I don’t even.
Hilarious but ridiculous lol. There were other cool ones too but I don’t know why I didn’t take pictures of it. Hmm.

Here’s the Tekken 6 Semis if I’m not wrong. GAME FACE!
They’re gonna play on stage. 
Just like the Guitar Hero 5 contestants will play as well.
We played the finals on stage later that evening.

Surprise! The Guitar Hero 5 finals is on YouTube!
omgomgomg.
:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D::DD::D:D
Just a little note. The game was immensely lagging. We tried to calibrate the lag ourselves, but we (me and slayzaerath) didn’t know what the ideal ms was. So we just went ahead and play lol. The same applies to Day 1.
And also, If you see in the video, both of us made a mistake of not selecting hyperspeed. Wanted to tell him, “Eh lupa nak on la”, but he was so focused lol so malas nak kacau.
Went back home with awsmface and enjoyed an egg sandwich. (sigh telur lagi)
DAY 3, FINALE!
The final prize giving presentation was to be at 6pm. Suddenly I found out it was at 8pm. WAH RAGE. They said due to technically difficulties during the finals of the online games. One of them is Sudden Death.

And another one is SDO (Super Dancer Online me thinks). SDO really interests me, the 6 players playing SDO had amazingly fast hand response. WOAH. You just had to be there to see it.
Anyway. Everyone was tired.

Chapree was. (lol sorry bro)
And thus the prize giving presentation!

On this grand stage!
Omg I has an excited liao.
First time entering WCG, and I managed to win. I’m happy of course, but this win was not that meaningful due to the fact that only 4 people participated. Next year, I’m hoping moar people can join WCG 2011 and give the Malaysian Guitar Hero community a huge boost in registration numbers! C’MON GUYS!

Yip yip. Taking my prize.

*proud moment*

Pardon me for posting too much of these pictures. I has an amazing proud liao. Greatest moment of the month.
The medal was delicious.

*nom*
Tapi kesian la at Slayzaerath. His name salah spelled on the huge check. lol. And then he got another Razer mouse that he just bought it in Day 2. Nasib baik dapat jual. Takpe kalau murah, dapat extra RM100 lol.

TEE HEE HEE

A champion is me.


Thanks guys for your support. But I found out that us console gamers are not going to represent Malaysia for the World Cyber Games final at Los Angeles, USA.

I would really like to go though. I’m hoping that PIKOM manages to sponsor the console gamers to LA. To represent Malaysia would really be an honor. I’m gonna try my best to play the songs in the WCG list. :D
And to all the Guitar Hero freaks out there, LET’S JOIN WORLD CYBER GAMES 2011 NEXT YEAR ALRIGHT?
Other pictures credit to chapree.
Spain won against Germany…
…because an octopus said so.

So in the end, it’s not Spain wins, but
PAUL THE OCTOPUS WINS!
I dedicate this song to you Paul.
It’s the holidays!
Hooray!
*dance around like a liddle gurl*
Everyone is happy that the semester finally ended. But not for me. I practically have no plans, and nothing to do during the holidays.
Wanted to get a work, but in July, i’ll be off to KL two times.
July 15 -19 and (most probably) July 24 – 27.
And so, what I’ll do during this semester break is
a) nothing
b) nothing
c) nothing
d) all of the above
e) exercise
The answer is d) All of the above! (nothing from below).
But all I can do right now is just collect some money hoping that I have enough to get one more lens for Little Miss Alpha (wow it’s been a while since I’ve called her that).
Oh just recently (yesterday that is) had a little reunion with old friends at Esplanade and this comes to show that.

Last minute plan always works (for me that is).
(y)
So now, I’m just chilling in my room. All day long all night long. Luckily there’s the World Cup to watch. *phew*
Now all I can do is just practice Guitar Hero 5 every day. *play Survivor – Eye Of The Tiger song*
And should I start to eat less? I wonder. Hmm.
Aiyoh.
I’m hungry. I better go out of hibernation and search the forest for honey.
Tata guys.
*rooooah*
Goodbye Mia
Mia.
It’s been God knows how long you’ve been with us, and it comes to a shock that today, you’re gone for good.
Rest In Peace Mia.
We will all miss you, gorgeous.
:’(

June’s the lucky month.
June.
Oh June.
I love you June.
This month has been a blessing for me. Lady luck was on my side all the way (so far).
Earlier this month, there was a U.O.X tour, started in Curtin Sarawak, Miri and touring around Malaysia. Thanks to a friend of mine who informed to me about this earlier, I got hyped. There were two competitions going on during the two-day event. FIFA 2010 and D.J Hero.
A little run down of the competition. First prize is a HP Mini Netbook, second prize is a Blackberry, third prize is an iPod Nano. For the FIFA 2010 competition, first prize winner will be going to KL to represent Curtin. DJ Hero, on the other hand, first prize winner gets local bragging rights and a netbook.
Well, I had my eyes set on playing FIFA 2010, it’s been a while since I’ve played it. I thought to myself, well, time to show some skills yo.
DJ Hero was just behind the FIFA 2010 area. Not much people playing it.
Ina forced me to play DJ Hero instead because of time constraint. So I play DJ Hero lah.
WAT I GOT FIRST.
Amajeeng. Considering that was my first time playing DJ Hero. Went back home with awsm face but I received an sms saying, “Hi there you got third pls try again thx” (well, not exactly like that la). Pumped up I was, I looked up to Grand Master Youtube. While studying for my exam, I checked out videos of DJ Hero. :3
First attempt: “Oh sorry you still second”. (mind you this was on hard, playing hard on first attempt was a bit wow for me.)
I raged.
EXPERT LAI
And then I got first.
Wat.
300k.
Okay la I thought, that’s that. Then Syafiq Afifi gave me another game coupon. Just play lah.
Wat.
400k++ (tidak termasuk cukai 5%)
I was on top.
Untouchable.
*awesomeface.psd*
I wanted second prize :d. But oh well, first prize is first prize. *sigh*

Picture courtesy of U.O.X
That evening went back and tested out the netbook.

Sorry, no unboxing video.

Switched on. 1 minute later, I didn’t like it.
[WTS] HP MINI (but it was sold off 2 days later)
Two days after winning HP Mini, I won something else.
I attended the Curtin Sports Night event as a photographer. Masuk free, so no ticket lah. But I was given a ticket anyway.

Lucky draw time, and my number was called out.
EH.
I won pulak (again).

This time instead of a netbook, I won a ball.

Ciplak ball. I was expecting Jabulani or some Nike ball. :d
Gave it away because I have enough balls at home. (please don’t read this the wrong way thank you)
June 11 (two days ago)
Was at ICT Lab studying Hardware Fundamentals 101. The lecture conned us. D:
He keeps saying it’s easy la, it’s easy don’t worry. BUT I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN.
Off topic, this day was also not my lucky day D: because I screwed up big time on my Computer Systems final exam.
But anyway, back on topic. Checked my Student Webmail.
“Congratulations! You have won the eValuate lucky draw!”
EH.
I won pulak (another again).
Went up to Uni Life office, I got a cheap LG Handphone.
I was expecting a 4GB Pendrive :d
But oh well. Sold it off to Ina :3
But that’s not all!
I just received money! Loaaaads of moneyyyyy!

(well, MARA loan money anyway, it’s not mine D:)
So, I’m very thankful this month that all these events has been happening to me.
What can I win next? The girl of my dreams?
HA! HA!
;_;
