Hotlink Anime and Game Festival 2008

Photos later after I my colleagues uploads them .. I didn't bring my camera.

First this main event organiser was Hotlink and the event was as like what you've read an Anime fest to promote those Hotlink games in handphones. Asiasoft was just another sponsor in the whole event so we've got a small space out of the whole big stage in Sg.Wang. Asiasoft was just doing some redemption for those gamers that had previously purchased those a-cash cards.

Well, overall was pretty tiring but this was the most fun event I've done compared to the previous 2event I worked with AsiaSoft. Started on friday when they launch the event on 10.45am, then loads of gamers came in with stacks of A-cash cards, I had to count, write, cut and show them what can they redeem with those points. That day no chair at all, event organiser aka Maxis only provided two for a group of 8-12people. How great? The gamers were afraid that those limited edition kind of things will finish soon so all rushed there during Friday morning.

After around 2hours of redemption counter packed with gamers, everything had slowed down until Sunday and only few came to redeem. This time no more complaining leg sore, as we're given chairs on the 2nd day and I'm placed at the counter so only sitting all day. Rolling posters when there's no one and gotten myself loads of paper cuts.

Eating out at Sg.Wang kills, they never provide us any food this time so we're forced to eat stuffs like McD, KFC, Tepanyaki, Old town, Esquire Kitchen. Yeah, all expensive food as you've read I wasted a total of rm70 eating there those 3days. Yesterday, cannot tahan went out to coffee shop in between Sg Wang and Lowyat to makan.

Naruto won the cosplay yesterday, I don't get to see T.T I was far away from the stage. There were hotlink cosplayers too, this very lansi guy dressed as assasin but he's handsome and tall kinda look like Daniel Wu. I took photo with Sonic, Bomberman mascot.. they're so cute. Overall I enjoyed this event as we've spent most of the time joking around and chit-chating. Last night, half an hour session taking photos with people around the event. So we got paid for playing around =P Minus the expensive food.

During the end of the event, maxis came and gave us loads of mousepad with hand rest. Anyone wants one please do tell me. I still got 5more. I reloaded rm10 and I beg them to give me a Hotlink cap =P and I've gotten many goodies from Asiasoft for free. Yeah, no A-cash card required, I took for free. Pictures of those things I've gotten back for the event.

This organiser(high-quality made of fake leather of course) cost around (888,888points) RM2120 of A-cash card in order to change. Me got for free, feeling jealous gamers? I got wristband and metal tag too. Also, posters that gamers are dying to have. Maxis gave me Sonic's handphone hanger for free too =P This is all the fun you have for working in event. Lastly I really enjoy being a freelancer working for events.

1 more, I really don't like Sg.Wang, I'll get lost in that weird place, finding a restaurant/toilet/lift/shop is so difficult. This place is extremely unorganized. I'll only go there when I wanna find some stuffs, e.g long socks, boots .. the clothes there aren't cheap. If you know how to jalan in KL u know where sell cheap things. Eg the rm10 shop in Times Square, I found a pretty brown dress with ribbon there.
