[Event] - Animagaki 2014

Bigger than ever

Animagaki is an annual event adored by our ACG fans. Hosted on Sunway Pyramid Convention Center Hall from 9th August - 10th August 2014, we expected this gonna turn up a huge event as last year surpass 7,000 attendees for such local event.

Media Pass -  Cute Design as usual

However, due to 9th August 2014 is also a TedxKL - The Open Future event hosted on the same day, I can't possible attend both functions at the same time. So I'm only visiting the 2nd day of Animagaki, and regretted missing tons of fun of the Day 1 activities.

This year due to time constrain, I'll be focusing on the display of figurine and the Indie product design and produced by our talented artist. We can totally see a huge increase of quality and quantity of exhibitors.

Artwork for sale

These are the awesome magazine that can be purchased on any convenient store in Japan(My Recent Trip to Japan), and the organizers display huge amount of these on the floor to showcase to our local ACG hobbyist.

Anime Magazine

Last year, the awesome figure and model are displayed in a rather congested walkway outside the entrance, which have poor lightning and area for us to observe and take photo. However this year, they are located inside the hall on the sides where special lightning are set-up for photogs and hobbyist to observe and carry their photography.

As you can see, this are sole lightning provided by the hall, no flash gun.

Mourning for #MH17

Mourning for #MH17

20 remains of identified Malaysian remains will be sending back to its homeland on 22th August 2014.

43 ill-fated Malaysian passenger boarded MH17 flying from Amsterdam back to Kuala Lumpur was shot down over Ukraine's eastern region on a tragic day on July 17. Declared by the government as 22th August 2014 the day of national mourning, 20 MH17 victims will be finally sent back from The Netherlands.

[Update] Mourning will start from 1030 to 1115 throughout Malaysia with one minute of silence to honour the victims of the MH17 tragedy. 7 main locations, traffic will be stopped to join the mourning.

This is a historical day for Malaysian, to show a strong unity of the great nation and also act as a reminder why is important to live together in unity as Malaysians. If Dutch can shown their sign of respect by observing silence, I believe Malaysian can do so. 

I hope all Malaysian can unite as one and observe one minute silence for the respect of the MH17 victims.
