The 3 Stooges

They were not offering any PC related hardware in PC Fair, but the 3 of them combined occupied the largest area at the exhibition hall at the lower floor. Not to mention the most promoters too.

Who are they? Digi, Maxis, and Celcom...the 3 main service providers in telecommunication.

This picture is just a candid shot of the 3 distinctively coloured balloons overlapping one another. I think I could get a better angle from the top. But alas, the mezzanine floor is prohibited for visitors.

Red Cliff (赤壁) in PC Fair

Well, not the movie...it's the online gaming counterpart of the latest movie by John Woo. MMORPG is gaining popularity in Malaysia, with the setup of few game companies just to target this area.

As usual, the promotion is not complete without a couple of real-life characters from the game.

The warrior is supposedly a general called Zhao Zilong (赵子龙), while the lady is Xiao Qiao (小乔).

If you have not seen Red Cliff the movie, I fully recommend you doing so. I can't say the same for the game though (as I personally do not like MMORPG genre games).

PC Fair

Huh, it's been this long since my last posting. How long? 2 and a half months to be exact. I am NOT going to give any excuses here for being lazy to update my blog....what with so much distractions during my AWOL. Euro Cup (Yeah! Spain won!), political drama, I got myself a new game (Race Driver:GRID),...

Where should I re-start? After stopping for that long, it is hard to get back the momentum. Ahh...PC Fair! I think I can talk about that.

PC Fair! It just ended four days ago. That's true for the one in KLCC. Now that the organizer has decided to bring this event to the Malaysian masses, for this time alone they are holding it 3 week-ends in succession. So the bargain shoppers can travel from north to south, and back again for the next 2 weekends.

This time around in KLCC, the organizer has opened up one more entrance. If you have been to one before, you should know the ordeal. One entrance, one exit. And everybody had to queue up to get inside. But this time, they opened another entrance at the lower floor. This is a brilliant idea actually. They should have thought of that for the past PC Fairs. It is brilliant because it allows direct entry to the bargain booth at the lower floor. The regulars and new to PC Fair will follow the big crowd up to 3rd floor to the main entrance. So if you are not interested with the main exhibitors' wares at the top floor, this is a godsend.

Wares! As usual, the bargains were hard disks, printers, thumb drives, etc. You could get 500GB portable HDD for RM500!! Around RM90 for a 8GB thumb drives! What did I get then? Ha! Just a box of DVD-R's and CF cards.

See you next post! Pictures to come too...
