It's out yesterday, retailed price for 18900yen, that's about USD179 after converting. It looks really nice and thin! With the camera build in, I can now take my NDSi out without bring out my DSLR all the time already! Hell yeah! All the pictures here are from famitsu.com! Thanks for the great coverage!
Overall, I think Nintendo make a right move placing the NDSi sales near Christmas. Hopefully by mid 2009, we, Malaysia should be able to get a Nintendo DSi at a reasonable price. Till then, thanks for reading and see you!
Last Saturday, we have our DS Gathering over Corez house aka. OKK (Orang Kaya Kaya) Fortress. The most exciting part is we get to play Wii and DS at the same time! Futhermore, we are also invited for the night's dinner after Corez and his family done buka puasa.
After finishing my Design Workshop class at my school, I headed to Sunway Pyramid to meet up with Pheonix and aschia while waiting for Aiyish to come fetch us. When I reached there, basically, Pheonix, the arcade boy is firing up the Wangan Midnight game and aschia was just standing there and watched. I played myself couples of Mario Kart and Wangan too. After that, we went to Wendy's for lunch. Around an hour later, aiyish made an appearance and off we go to OKK Fortress!
Spotted OKK Fortress!
Dazling at it...
Corez's house is actually not too far away from my currently housing, I mean by car. We were actually quite lost when trying to look for the fortress and we were actually already in front of the fortress! Aiyish, aschia and Phoenix were dazling when they saw the fortress. When we entered the fortress, Prime and Kyoyagami were there already.
The Participants
The gang.
Our moderator and his girlfriend.
The arcade wannabe boys.
So this are the participants for the gathering. I must say it's alot of people on this gathering! But wasn't manage to take a photos on aiyish in the photos as he have to leave early due to some personal matters. Some participant like Jonathan brought some accessories for the Wii, so that's why you see... the boys were having arcade fun blasting with Ghost Squad for the Wii. While the rest, as usual, we have Mario Kart DS, Tetris DS, Bomberman and lots more!
Funny Moment during the Gathering
OMG! We looked like we are praying!
Andy was so bad on Bomberman that he got negative!
Actually, there's lots lots more. But I was to go worry myself not to get kill by them when we come to meet each other on another gathering again! Well... I guess it's not a right thing to do too, unless I have their permission which is not gonna happen!
Free Dinner - Happy = Priceless
What have I done?! D:
I got to say, I have to thank Corez for inviting us to the Ramadan because I miss eating BBQ! After like I come to KL for studies, chances of getting a BBQ treatment is rare! During the dinner, we have 2 large pizzas, lamb chop with black pepper sauce, baked potatos, roasted chickens and corns! All of them are delicious! Futhermore, Kyo brought us some of his home made soya beans, definitely 100 times better than the one selling near my school.
SSBB tourney!
Later night, sihum suggested we have a Super Smash Bros. Brawl (SSBB) tourney. Total of 8 people joined the game, and the winner is sihum! During the final round, I lose 1 kill to him. I must have really rusted already or I'm that bad. Haha. Before that, we also played Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii and also some snacks for the raya, I think.

Overall, I would say this is the best gathering for Lowyat DS Gathering so far. And also, longest of all, which is 2pm till 11.15pm! At the end of the day, we are all exhausted while some still have soccer match to be catched. Aschia, Phoenix and me went on the same rapid bus and we finally called it a day. Thanks for reading and see ya!
This afternoon around 3pm, I was chatting with JDreamer on MSN messenger and "POP". Everything is shut off and I thought it gonna be blackout for just a while and everything is going back to normal. So, I waited and eventually slept for the noon until evening. The electricity is not back yet! I called Sesco and they said the electricity will be back around 11pm! After dining together with lots of mosquito, parents and I went out to The Spring for a walk.
My saviour!
During the waiting hours, thank goodness there is DS for me to play! So the duration for this Great Blackout is about 8 hours. Thanks a lot! Thanks for viewing and see you.
Those package actually arrived last Friday and I didn't have time to go pick them up. Consider it's already Tuesday, I went to pick it up yesterday. I was actually only expecting 1 package but 3 packages! And I see taxes coming, and I was never wrong. So I went up to the Custom Department.
They even spelled "Video" wrongly.
As I thought each package will only roughly get charged by RM20 plus. I actually brought RM55 down only. I called my friend down and ask him to get another RM20 prepared. As usual, custom asked my to open the packages. And... they charged me a near amount of RM100. I was shocked, knowing I will not have enough money to pay the tax. But, luckily there's another custom came across and discounted almost 65% of the total amount. Thanks! So, what are the content in the package?
Voila! Game Haul this time!
It's been a while I have bought lots of stuff from Play-Asia. I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, so what you see are all related to Nintendo's gaming console and gaming handheld. Hehe. So here's what I have:
It's been... let's see... since October 2007 we had a Kuching DS Gathering. Well, mostly because I myself as a organizer is busy working. Just recently, we just had one of the greatest gathering ever! Sort of. Bad thing is Mcdonald is having an air conditional failure, which made some gamers moody for a while. I won't say much, just showing pictures with caption!
People with smiley face are anonymous.
So, here are the when and who came and what we played:
Venue: City's Mcdonald Time: 12pm - 4.30pm (Actually started at 2pm) Date: 10/05/2008
Thank you all comers to make this gathering a very successful one! I hope to see you next gathering! And for reader, if you have a DS, please do not hesitate to come join us! That's all now. Thanks for viewing and see you!
