It has been a busy weekend as I'm working at Gamestart Asia 2014 helping the guys out at the Gamescore booth and it was really busy !

Gamestart Asia 2014 is one of the first gaming convention in Singapore which I feel is made from something like the Tokyo Game Show. I was very impressed with the amount of people who came for this convention as it's not a free convention. The tickets cost $8.50 for a day and $15 for both days.

This is the team who is in charge of all the operations and make sure everything is working and going as planned for this world convention. WELL DONE GUYS ! ALL YOUR EFFORTS IS BEING WELL APPRECIATED !

There are companies like Sony, Bandai Namco and Blizzard that participated with this game convention which they showcased their upcoming games and demos which allowed people to visit their booths and have first hand try outs at the new upcoming games.

There are of course other events like Cosplay competition and video game competitions. And of course my favourite event is definitely the Capcom Pro Tour Asia tournament as some of the big name players come to Singapore like MCZ.Daigo Umehara, CCG.Humanbomb, Poongko and AVM.Gamerbee.

And of course being a fan of the game, I''ve took photos with Daigo Umehara and Humanbomb !

Look at how happy I am ! Daigo Umehara is like a legend of fighting games and is named as one of the fighting game gods in Japan.

Humanbomb aka Johnny Cheng is one of my favourite player as he has a very amazing Sakura and of course he is also a Yang player which I main in the game. Sooooo happy to be able to have a photo with him !

And of course working with the peeps is also so fun as we slack together, busy together, joke and chitchat together during anytime possible.

It may be busy but all these are actually times that you will remember as they provide so much fun and laughter !

Look at how busy all of us were during that two days. Working for more den 10hrs everyday is actually physically and mentally draining but of course like what I've said it's also full of fun.

Anyway in my view I find this Game Convention is truly a success and of course I hope that there will be a next time and surely the next time will be an even more successful one !

Hi guys, it's been a loing time since I've updated by blog as I'm too lazy and I'm cropped up with a few things on hand.

I've just came back from a holiday ! Ok, it's not just came back. I'm back to Singapore since last wednesday. As you can see from the picture, I've went to Korea again ! This time round it's a longer trip compared to last year as this time round I went there for 7 days.

I'm not someone that likes to go overseas as I feel it's a hassle to go voerseas as there's alot of procedures at the airport and of course the amount to things you have to pack when you're going to a foreign country. Not to forget the language barrier we have to face when it's a country that doesn't speak the language we know.

This time round I'm went there with 2 friends followed by 5 more friends who will join us midway during my trip.

This time round I started the trip is a different group for the first 3 days. Yes, my hair does look very dry which I do not know why.

We decided to go Korea as SQ have this promotion that if you buy more den 2 tickets, each ticket will be around $650 which is quite a bargain as it's SQ, but the timing is kinda fuck as we only arrive at around 1030pm at night.

As it's my 2nd time to Korea so I do have minimal knowledge to things I need to do there when I've reached ( and yes, I do not have any minimal knowledge to their language. ).

For people who is going there for the first time, I will suggest you guys spend some money and rent the wifi dongle which is call the Olleh Egg.

This item is the thing to have when you're in korea. Its a wifi dongle. This dongle allows you to connect up to 4 wireless device at the same time which gives you internet speed which is as fast or maybe faster den the internet connection that you have at home in Singapore.

Why do I say that this thing is important ? It's because our lifestyle now we're too used to having internet on the go and this thing definitely fits the needs that we want. You will be able to use Google Maps, Google Translate and of course you will be able to keep in contact with your friends.

This thing cost you around 8000won per day and you'll have to place a deposit of 150k Won with your credit card. It may seem abit pricey as it's like sgd10 per day but trust me, this thing is seriously important and worth the money.

And this is the first meal I had in Korea, Incheon Airport.

As when we landed, after all the procedures and renting the Olleh Egg, there's no more airport buses for us to take to our apartment, so we decided to have a meal first since we're gonna take cab from the airport to our apartment.

This may not be the best meal I had in Korea but still it's of a respectable standard.

Spicy beef soup with rice to fill the hungry stomach after a 7hr flight from Singapore to Korea.

It's a 24hr eating place at the airport but the people working there needs abit of customer service as their face is so pissed off and showing attitude when I'm trying to order my meal. But its ok as in the end the food is being served.

And after the meal it's time to go to the resting place, Brownsweet Residence ! ( Yup, its this place again )

But that I'll have to leave it to another post next time as I'm tired already. LOL !

Cya guys soon for the next post !
