WTH!!! last year byk sak!!! this year aku da save duit beh tk byk kedai comic. ): tpi tkpla i got myself lots of artworks frm great artist! ok abt the convention, its a 3 day event. from friday till sunday n me n my partner in crime, kana went on all 3 days. semangat pe! hahaha

before anything, just be caution that u may experience difficulty understanding the post coz its like tunggang terbalik coz i'll be telling abt wat i do on fri till sun. ok go!

(FRIDAY) ok before i start talking abt the convention, i just want to say: IT'S GREAT TO BE HITTING THE DRUMSET AGAIN!!! after so looonnnggg, i finally went jamming with homo n frens. also there was antoo n bushy. we play ikrar perwira, opera hidup, a tale that wasn't right, painkiller, lagi bla, bla bla...... hahaha

BRIAN BOLLAND!!! one of the artist who'll be signing autographs n selling his works at the convention. so apa lagi! amik gmbr uh! he's a dang good artist n one of the top in the comic industry. woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

(SATURDAY) n so after friday was over we went home n i met kana again at 10am on sat to do some art n after finishing it proceeded to the convention again coz we want to watch a live art demo by brian bolland as well as buy some stuffs there. oh ya i broke a record on sat for terserempak dgn kawan! i met 10 of them in 1 day! lol. 1st terserempak hailmi sarakid kt convention, 2nd terserempak rafi kt suntec jgk, 3rd terserempak marc pn kt suntec, 4th n 5th terserempak siraj n nat kt flash n splash, 6th on the way nk naik mrt city hall ke pasir ris terserempak ngn luayy, 7th n 8th terserempak ngn dominick chan n aliman kt pasir ris coz drg baru book out, beh 9th tgh otw nk jln ke aranda country club terserempak ngn may, pon kt pasir ris! dia tgh tunggu bus kt interchange, n lastly, 10th terserempak ngn bani! pasir ris jgk. woooo! new record beb! haha

1st august - OUTING:

on 1st august, me, dilah, edy, lily, rizal n midzi plan to meet up. bt we dunno where to go. so just meet up first, tu lagi penting. bt basically we have no aim of where to go that day. haha.. n so the day began with one word: PANAS TERIK! basically after i'd bathe i went out to plaza sing to meet edy tpi kan, bila kan, bila, bila kan, bila aku da smpai kt busstop aku tergerak hati tau nk check siti fuji. so i went to check on it n MAMAMIA! kosong dlmnya! i'd forgotten to put the battery in! n the battery was still at home charging! walao! so apalagi, patah balik. da start berpeloh alik. -_-"

so after taking the battery i took 65 n it was pack. n the people in it was also perspiring. makin berpeloh lah aku. -___________-" da smpai plaza sing alangkah happynya! udara segar dan nyaman! da tkda bau ketiak n peluh penumpang2 bus 65! hahahaha.. so meet edy n g jln2 jap beh npk fann wong n cheryl fox. tinggi pe dua-dua. haha.. so da puas jln we waited for the rest. suma da smpai satu perkara penting dlm otak kita suma. MAKAN! so apalagi pergi lah ke far east to sapedek. on the way to far east me n rizal cuci2 mata. best! lol.
