My Experiences of the "ACGC 2008" Event.

Well, I'm really sorry for not posting about this post way earlier, and thanks to Lawrence's dad for providing me transport to and fro. Here goes my story.

Last month, there was an event titled "ACGC 2008" (ANIME, COMIC, GAME CONVENTION) which was held for 2 days, from 27th - 28th of Sept. 2008, at the MVEC Hall in Midvalley Megamall. This event started from 10 am till 9 pm... and yes, both Lawrence and me were there during this event's 2 days. ^^

And oh yes, a lot of photos were definitely taken by me and Lawrence, using my dad's digital camera. ^^

On the 1st day of this event, after his dad picked me up from my house etc, after we finally reached the shopping mall's entrance, we then walked to that hall to see how the situation's like... well, since we went in so early there wasn't anything attractive to see yet, as the booths are currently set up. So, we waited until all the stuff was set up then we went in.

After we went in again, there were various booths, ranging from booths that specialises in selling anime-related merchandise and booths which promote both current and new online games alike. There is even a booth specially for the 'Nintendo Wii' game system. It was quite fun to see Lawrence play on that 'board' thing, which really made me LOL since he told me he's a 'shoe magnet', and he was right. hahaz

Well, this particular event also hosts the 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" game competition, and he was planning to join it, but the competition wasn't started so early... so we then decided to hit the arcades for some fun and kill some time. We played some of those arcade games like 'Daytona USA' and 'Let's Go Jungle'. It was fun playing both of those games, but we didn't plan to complete the 'Let's Go Jungle' game on this event's 1st day (we did complete the whole game on this event's 2nd day though. ^^)

In the Anime aspect of this event, it was quite disappointing for both of us (well, mostly me... anyways) since there weren't much cosplayers on this event's 1st day, but since I'm already here, I gotta do what I gotta do: Take cosplayer's pics! ^^ ~hahaz~

Here are some of the cosplayer's pics which I managed to snap. ^^

Around noon to night time, the 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" game competition started and Lawrence's turn was finally up. Some of the participants in this competition are from gaming clans and he was challenging 1 of them. So, I gave him words of support while he was playing. After the competition, we then played for a while in the arcade then both of us then went back home.

On the way back, he told me that the 2nd day of this event would be more exciting, since there will be a Cosplay competition... and yes, the 2nd day of this event was definitely better than the 1st day... since I took lots of pics of cosplayers and other stuff on that day. ^^

That's all I've to say about the 1st day of this event for now. I might publish a post about my experiences on the 2nd day of this event, if I've the time to do so. See ya!
