My Thoughts
Another successful gathering! We all had fun eatinig and gaming.

We had fun at the arcade too, especially playing Hyper: Bishi Bashi Champ. Good news!!! The price per game for Mario Kart GP Arcade has reduced from 2 Tokens to 1 Token now. However, I was quite disappointed with the arcade's maintenance... it's so typical for MY Arcade operator to offer faulty gaming machines to customers. Next time before you insert any tokens/coins, please check the conditions (at least the physcial parts), as we got "conned" for playing House of Dead 2 & 3, as both machines came with spoiled guns.

Wildchild's gathering+Lee San's Birthday

Wildchild attended a Senior's (from her secondary school) wedding dinner over the weekend (I wasn't invited... phew~). After that, we all went to Wong Kok at SS2 to meet and catch up with some of her secondary schoolmates. 'cos leesan (her high school friend) and Tim (leesan's man) were in town (from SG).

And it was leesan's birthday too. ^0^

Anyway, we were the 1st to reach. Wildchild had made reservation earlier, and kind enough, Wong Kok gave us the "chill out" area.



Since it's leesan's birthday, I ordered the "Wong Kok Birthday Special" for her. When the "special" arrived, both leesan and Tim were shock! LOL~



It's always nice to attend a school gathering (even though, it's not mine). Listening to old time stories. LOL~



leesan's birthday cake

OMG!!! it's the ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE!!! Thanks, peili for getting the cake. ^0^


Group Photo



Both Wildchild and myself had a wonderful evening meeting all of you!

Food Selection
I usually avoids eating rice at a buffet, so since they have satay thats all I eat that day. Others that worth mentioning is the ice cream which they refilled around 4 pm. Can't really say much about the others but I saw lots of satay sticks at the table.


Duration of meetup
Sihum x2 and Bernie x2 left first around 3 plus. Then Andy, Hamtarox & Penman around 5. Ayish left after that and myself around 6. I donno how long did Yuki, Prime and Pheonix stayed at the restaurant or maybe after being chased out by the management.

as reported by corez.

For a change, we are going to have something different and more comfortable. We are gonna have a Hi-Tea Buffet LYN Nintendo Gathering, it's RM35++ person at Hotel Armada. Currently, there's a "2+1" promotion going on, i.e. if we can get a group of 3, it'll only cost less than RM30 per person.

From previous outings, I see averagely most of us, spent RM20 on drinks and food alone. This one... FREE FLOW!!! You can eat & drink until you vomit, from 12pm - 5pm.


Now wat?
Now we need confirmations on headcounts, so that we can make reservations. And once you have put your name(s) down, please respect & honour it. Your attendance will be crucial to the gathering.


Payment
we'll take the TOTAL amount, then divide by attendance on that day. It'll be great, if we can find a group of 3s, e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.

The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up

Introduction
The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up is a monthly gathering, organised by Forumers of Lowyat.NET (LYN) -> Special Interest -> Consoles Couch -> Nintendo.

The first The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up was at McD, Sungei Wang in December 2005, with only 5 participants. Today it has become a monthly event/tradition in KL/PJ area, and bi-monthly in Kuching, Sarawak. With 8-10 participants averagely in each gathering.

Forumers will start voting for venues and dates at the forum board, either early begining of each month or end of previous month. The gathering Time will always starts at 11am/12pm, and ends after 3pm or later (because the NDS will run out of juices by then).

Selection on venues is normally based on these 2 main factors:

• easy access of public transports; &


• affordable hang-out areas;

Considering many of the forumers are still studying, who are heavily dependent on public transports to move around, and pocket money from family.


Activities
During the gathering, forumers will share informations, such as tricks & tips, latest games releases, latest gossips in the game industry, technical questions/supports, fellowships, chill out, have fun, eat, drinks, tok-kok, and of course - go Multiplayer mode on the DS.

Normally, the gathering will kick start with Mario Kart DS, then follow by other popular games listed below:


Games we play

• Mario Kart DS;


• Meteos: Disney Magic;


• Elite Beat Agents;


• Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!;


• Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2;


• Tetris DS;


• Pokemon Diamond;


• Pokemon Pearl;


• BomberMan Land Touch!;


• Club House Games;

Preparations
Make sure you have enough sleep the night before, and you NDS is fully charged.


You can always join us, even if you don't own a Nintendo DS, 'cos 99% of LYN Forumers are friendly people ^0^... BUAYA ALERT!!!

For more info, kindly visit - LYN Nintendo Board.

HAVE FUN!!!

Pearly & Johnny came back to Malaysia for a short home visit. We went to Paramount last week, to catch up and to have dinner. We had a wonderful meal at Restoran Loong Fong, we had the famous roast duck, however I was too hungry and forgot to document down our xcellent dinner! zzzzzzz -_-")

(note: sorry, SL+Jeff... didn't manage to snap the 2 of you...)

After dinner, we went to Wong Kok @ SS2 to meet other friends. It was a wonderful+colourful meet up!
