I'm getting tired of this story....
aaah, with Fish and Chris... hhhmmm somehow when I type both of their names together, I keep thinking of Fish and Chips. Yummy~
With Fish and Chris gone, I'm alone again. Went to the place where they are showing the Ragnarok: The Animation. They were showing this episode where they went into the Geffen dungeon and fought some Poison Spores and Argos. The voice for the Girl Merchant is soooo squeaky. Reminds me of Sailormoon's original Japanese voice. The Poring reminds me of a Pokemon. It only knows how to say it's own name "Poring Poring Poorrring~". Like Pikachu's "Pika~ Pika~" or "Piiikachu~".
Dunno, maybe too tired. Didn't have the mood to stay and watch for long. Went to walk around again. Went to the main stage. If not mistaken the chairman of Malaysia's Gameflier is on stage giving some speech. Then it was Taiwanese Chairman's turn. They both look soooooo typically chinaman business man look. And people are wondering why are there so many bots? Some books you can just judge them from their cover.
Walk around again. Went to Prontera booth again. Weird. They are still displaying the Poring and pillow. I thought it's out of stock? They've also put out a white board showing which items are still in stock. Poring pillow's number is no.2.... Huuuhhh? Still got? I asked the guy there and he says yup, still got. I then hurried to the voucher counter and came back. Told the guy, a different guy this time, that I want two Poring Pillow.
"Sorry ah, no more stock. Maybe you want the Angeling Pillow?", he told me. Whaaaaaaaatttt??!!!!! I checked the white board again. No. 2 is still not struck off or erased yet. *SLAMS TABLE* "Then why the hell that it's still on the whiteboard? Do you know I purposely go and get the vouchers to buy it? You want me to play your fricking games some more??!". Really lost my cool there. Though I have not shout at the guy yet. Slamming the table is a first time though.
The guy went to check the whiteboard, "Ohh sorry sorry! I thought it was that side one.". Sheesh! He went to the back to get the Porings for me. Yahooo! Sent an SMS to From The Sea to tell her that there's no issue with the Porings already.
6:30 pm. The emcees went up the main stage and prepared us to greet Elva. She's going to be here and 7:00 pm. They prepared us to yell "Elva, wo men huan ying nii~ (Elva, we welcome you.)" at the top of our lungs. Three times they made us do it. They then went back stage to rest for a while. Supposely a 2 minute rest. 2 minutes became 30 minutes. 30 minutes became 1 hour. Elva the super star. Some people already got impatient and started to scream her name. Finally the lights came on again! Elva??! No... the emcees told us not to get too excited and it's just the opening dance act by their dancers.
After the dance, the emcees tricked everyone again.. instead of Elva coming out, it's them. After some babbling by them, finally Elva came out!!!
The audience went crazy!! She looked so much prettier than the pics she took for Ragnarok Online. Those pics sure make look very
Ah Lian.
The emcees interview her first. Asking her what's going on with her career right now. She told us that a new album will be out soon. Is there any chance of her having a concert here in Malaysia? She asks us if she would have a concert here, would we go? Everyone answered "YES!". I just kept quiet
lah. :P
Here's some pics:
She's sooo fair. Add make up some more. Spotlight shined on her so in the pics she look like a ghost. I don't think it's just my cam. Over heard someone with a really
cun camera complained that the she turn up "white white one" in their cam as well.
Speaking of taking pics.. Wow, arms are really sore. Have to raise the camera high above everyone's head, keep it really steady and snap away. Was worried that I might drop and break it. *Whew*! Not only cameras, handphones were raised to take her pics.
After the emcees interviewed her. She started to sing
Wo Ai Ni Na Mer Duo.
More pics:
The song's quite nice. After
Wo Ai Ni Na Mer Duo, they invited people who are celebrating their birthday on that day to go on stage to let Elva celebrate with them. There's a cake, with a drawing of a Poring on it. No candles though. Elva sang Happy Birthday to them. I caught her lip-synching. What, she can't remember the lyrics XD ?? Each of the birthday boys and girls get a goodie bag gift from Elva.
After the birthday celebration, she gave out prizes to the winners of the RO Talent Quest competition. The magician won the first place. The chairman of Gameflier came out again. Started asking perasan and stupid questions like "Do you love this party?", "Do you love Ragnarok?", "Do you love Gameflier?" (I was tempted to shout "Ga*Flier sucks!"), "Do you love Elva?", "Do you love me?", "Am I handsome?", "Am I cool?". Someone shouted "
Sau pei lah lei!". He came out to draw the lucky draw prizes. Prizes ranges from virtual items for your RO character *rolls eyes*, RO CPU, DVD players to the RO Car.
Next, Elva picked 10 people from the audience to go up on stage to play "rock-cloth-scissors" with her. Huh? "Cloth"? Yeah, the Chinese version. She picked those who had her albums raised. Makes sense. The rule is this, if you win, you get to draw a prize (figurine, T-shirt, etc). If you lose, you only get to shake hands with Elva. She shook hands with all of the players anyway. Some even got a hug. The players took this chance to take a photo with her and get her album signed. She's quite patient with this. Well, have to.
Funny thing is there's this Uncle, played the Malaysia version "1,2,zoom". You know, the one with "rock-water-bird". Elva was puzzled when she saw him made the "bird" shape. She teach the Uncle how to make a "rock" with the fist XD. There was this other thoughtful player, he offered everyone facial tissue to wipe their err sweat on their faces. The emcees took it and thanked him. Elva did not. ARE YOU NUTS??? You want her to wipe off her make up and made her pork marks visible?? XP
Finally, she's singing her second and last song. This one's not bad as well. An upbeat song, which it's name I can't remember.
This time when she sings, she actually got closer to the audience and shook their hands. Once she was almost pulled down from the stage.
I really don't like girl dancers who danced too aggressively. Like some kind of chicken looking for a fight. One of the dancers danced like that x_x. After this song, the emcees thanked us for coming. No encore performance from Elva. No one shouted for an encore anyway. Everyone just walked off. Kids these days...
But the carnival's not over. Booths are still opened for business, especially the games. Went to play this RO Pinball. Basically they constructed some kind of wooden pinball table. You need to use this wooden spatula of some sort to pust the ball up, and if it drops to a slot that has a Poring sticker on it, you win a prize. Tried this. RM 1 for 5 balls. The first two tries did not landed on the Poring slot. The 3rd one did though!! Hmmm the 4th try I just use the same strenght to push up the ball and it landed again! So's 5th!!! YES!! Finally something I'm good at!! What I won? 3 sets of RO pencils. 3 pencils in a pack. It's actually quite cute. It has like cute monster faces or items on it. I gave one set to the small boy who was watching me play. He didn't have money to play and he looked like he really wanted the pencils.
After that, went to the RO Ring Toss booth. AAAAAH!!! They have the RO in-game character sprite figurines!! RM 1 voucher for 5 ring toss. You need to throw this rattan ring to land on a standing bolwing pin. Behind the bowling pin, they would display the prize there. Besides figurines, they have thermos, pencil box and a last Angeling Pillow. Tried my last two RM 1 vouchers on the Swordsman (female version) figurine but none of them landed on a stnading bowling pin. What was that saying again? "Close is only counted in horse shoes and hand grenades."
The girls were desperately wanting the Angeling Pillow. They basically used up all the vouchers and got like 12452553412131245346 rings to try. Eventually the Angeling Pillow was won by a guy. The place suddenly felt very cold...cold stares were on him. Someone is going to die.... :P. Didn't win any figs. Used up all the vouchers. Ahh, nothing much already. So went home.
Got home and asked friend to send me some Elva's songs/mp3 :). I found her songs not bad and thinking of giving her albums a try.
That wraps up the RO Carnival 2005 event post. Whoah, 4 parts. Hey wait a minute, there's still the Epilogue! RO Carnival 2005 Haul post! Stay tune! ;)
