A trip to The Curve

[Belated post:23.09.2006]
Finally, after being able to convince my Wife to come over to The Curve, I made it to the event. But because it was late in the evening, things were winding down. This is a one day acid test to gauge (customer response) if the concept works or not. And they have done a wonderful job of getting the interested parties to attend. I have known some of them and did a few probing questions. They actually do like the concept but there was a problem with getting the customers to apprach their tables. This was because they were not allowed to set up near the building's entrance or onto the area outside. But, when the customer comes in, all they wanted to do was to catch the movie. So, they headed straight for the escalators thus missing the event. It was the same problem with customers leaving the cinema. By the time they came down from the escalators, there were not enough "signs" to herd...er, lead them to the event. Still, it was a valuable experience for me because I get to meet old friends, missing people and also, my favourite shops. If it was held again, would I be there? Well, I would do my best to be there, unless the Home Ministry says otherwise.


This is the STFM booth. You can see some Star Trek models on the left


There were a lot of members who contributed greatly


And it helped drew in a big crowd


Nice or not?


The MySciFiFan booth


Some of the movie props (L-R)
Obi-Wan lightsabre, the unfinished drink, the camera bag on top of a copy of CinemaOnline, Freddy's gloves and shirt, A Star Trek:The Next Generation Tricorder and half-empty Nescafe


More props


The V for Vendetta mask
I had a strage dream after taking this photo. Weezy had a new BF and she had her doubts about him. So, I decided to interview him to see if his Heart is true. Both of us were sitting leisurely, facing each other. He was holding his knife openly while I asked a lot of difficult questions. I was holding a hidden parang tightly behind my back in case things went wrong. After that, I found out he is OK and we shook hands. Then suddenly, this V fella came and attacked us. I am not sure what happened next as it was too fast but the next thing I know, we got him pinned on upper side of the ceiling. He was hung there, most probably from one of our knives, his arms spread open. After deflecting all his blades, I aimed my parang at his chest and killed him. This is weird and also, I have never even seen the Movie yet.

Teaching the ways of the Force to a potential Jedi


Nope, he failed the test and now, its up to his son


Father and son team against the mighty Jedi


And while I was busy, Mommy and Kristine hung about this booth a lot
This is Zone5, located above, offers natural fruit smoothies


One very expensive lesson to teach us that Kristine does not like
things that only go up and down


I got this for RM39, which I suppose would last me for three months
since its not waterproof or anything


And its very very big


Yeah, right


My Wife got this for RM48, from the usual price of RM153 or so.
