Ladies and Gentlemen, as you can see from the title of this blog post, i need help.
regardless to say, contribution for GACC 2009 (as stated in a previous post) is still lacking. i have e-mailed a few of you readers but i would be lying if i said my club has enough sponsors.
i humbly request you read on this long rant on why you should contribute. if you on't have the money, go pester your parents. all proceedings go towards one major goal: the success of my club event, GACC.
GACC is an annual convention held to celebrate people's passion in Games, Anime (Japanese Animation) and Comics. For the past 3 years, we have managed to hold it without fail, and every year we manage to draw in crowds by the thousands, no small feat for a small, university-based club like us. This year, we would like to push our achievements even further by expecting no less than 5000 participants - a feat unachieved yet by any anime convention in Malaysia.
Unlike previous years, we plan to expand our event by holding an O-Matsuri (Japanese Cultural Festival) at night, becoming the first anime convention in Malaysian history to ever achieve so. We are also in the process of securing a seiyuu (Japanese voice actor), which will mark the third time in a row we have done so. So far, no anime convention in Malaysia has been able to invite such a VIP, not even commercially organized ones. These two factors make GACC 2009 highly anticipated by the public (some even hailing from Penang and Kedah), and hence we are confident of a turnout of at least 5000 people strong.
To achieve our goal, we humbly request sponsorship assistance from your company, which is vital for us to run the event. The cost required for an event of our scale and proportions is unfortunately enormous. It is our great hope and it will bring us great joy and honour if you would be able to assist us in making our dreams and ambition a reality.
if you feel like helping, please download this link to view the proposal and how you can help out. you may also go to this page of a fansite to view the details.
thank you in advance for your time and i hope you would consider a contribution.

Pi Day 2009
today is Pi Day!!! pi is 3.14(etc.), hence march 14 is celebrated by some people as pi day.
you can find lots of information on pi on google and wiki and so on so i won't rant on the importance of pi or its beauty.
rather, i will just post some pictures on how my pi day was spent.
pizza!! the best pi related thing there is. this post ends here with a nice music video about pi.
an old video but awesome nonetheless.

Valentine 2009
a little late for such a post i would say but its not like you missed anything important anyways. caution, post may be emo.
two days after valentine's day this year, it was a monday. being my usual self i wrote a piece of literature on how i felt on that day. though i must say, it follows my usual theme of depression. how strange the way my brain is wired.
sometimes i truly wonder, am i so different from everyone else? statistically speaking, there has to be someone like me out there somewhere. still, the fact that most of the time people predict me wrongly surely saddens me.
does it really seem like i would destroy the world if i could? does it really seem like i choose death over life? does it really seem like i would choose war rather than peace? perhaps my demeanor really does seem like this. a lack of expression perhaps? i don't know.
anyways, here's the short literature i wrote two days after valentines day. call it a poem if you must.
**********************************
the broken valentines - 16 February 2009
like a dimming light. ah, how the fools walk around me.
flames to be fueled or extinguished? glowing cast iron, freshly made.
will it cool? will it cool?
on the path that is different, their cold metal hitting each other.
oh, the small sparks it makes.
i watch in amusement.
has the day end when it begun?
how irritating the flies of this meat. its red blood flows pointlessly.
how i ponder its creation.
like yesterday, the night is filled with darkness.
the same sky looks upon me. how common this strange day seems.
as common as another day. have i simply not aged more?

Onemanga
now i'm sure most of you out there have heard of onemanga. it is a website to read most manga out there online. and i must say, it is rather satisfying.
lets imagine for a moment that you have fast internet connection. not god-like internet speed but just fast. lets assume that your internet connection is 1 megabit per second.
if you live in Malaysia, 1 megabit is slowly getting common in any home. however, even with such a connection, visiting onemanga can sometimes be annoying. sure the pages loads within 2 seconds. but when you are reading something of suspense, 2 seconds can seem like a long time.
lets put this aside for a moment and talk about internet browsers. firefox, opera, and even chrome are common terms in the world of internet browsing. personally, i am using firefox 3.
as we all know, firefox 3 can support add-ons and extension. one particular extension i would like to focus on is greassmonkey. it is an extension that can run user scripts.
what does this have to do with onemanga you say? well, i have found a rather interesting script that allows loading All pages in a chapter to load in 1 page. so if you have fast internet connection, this may prove to be quite useful is saving your time
Steps:
1) if you are not using firefox, get it.
2) get greasemonkey
3) get the user script
4) try loading a onemanga chapter
after loading a chapter, you will see direct links to all the individual pictures (you can save them all into your computer easier if you want). click show all to show all. after clicking show all, it is easy enough to navigate between chapters. pages will be loaded under each other so just keep scrolling down to read the next page. each page is also separated by a thin line to avoid confusion.
this only works on onemanga though. i find it useful in the sense that you don't need to have multiple tabs to load a few pages at the same time. also, unlike certain scripts, it loads everything instead of pre-fetching only the next page.
what's great is that gressmonkey can also run other user scripts. find them here.
lastly, i personally have read Kamichu! and i find it quite relaxing. do read it if you have the time.

Comic Fiesta 2008
sorry i forgot to post about this. i went for the second day last year. wasted about rm70 on posters and original artworks. unfortunately, i didn't take much picutres. however, you may find some pictures here and here. warning though, it is quite image heavy.
still reading? awesome. here is a picture of Lelouch that my friend cosplayed:
now now. i know he is not tall enough. but at least he is not an alien.

Plain Sad
at least someone actually gave a try on the cipher. but the answer is still wrong. hehe...
well, i don't really plan on releasing the solution until someone could actually solve it so keep trying. i won't update much for now due to some other agenda i want to try starting. until then, keep trying my cipher!

wow. how long has it been? just a few weeks ago i wore to myself i would update daily. but now look, i have abandoned my dear blog for more than a week.
anyways, moving on.
after i took the IQ test earlier, i have actually thought of forming a club that can only consist of people who have an IQ of 130 or above. sadly, one IQ test is insufficient to determine all aspects of intelligence.
however, i still tried to spread the basic idea around. the club will have weekly meetings consisting of only one activity. each member must create a puzzle / riddle / cipher and make copies for other members to solve. sounds nice eh?
my basic idea is to stimulate brain cells on a weekly basis. sadly, not many agreed with the idea of the club.
=============================================
so instead of daily updates, why not i give weekly ciphers? then i'll squeeze in some updates in between if i'm in the mood. sounds good? yes? no?
well, i can't wait for your response so i say go with it.
starting.................. now!

-------------------
33 18 27 36 49
-------------------
99 88 76 55 11
-------------------
the answer is a word
hint: the cumulative even is void
hint 2: binary is required as a last step
=============================================
can you solve it? yes? no? i hope you can. seriously, i do. answer in the comments. this is open for all. since it only requires 2 (or 3) steps to solve, you only have 1 week to solve it. the only reward you will get is honor of being able to solve my cipher. good luck!
