COMIC FIESTA 2022

- KLCC CONVENTION HALL -

After 2 years of MCO (locked down for social distancing to break the cycle of COVID-19), COMIC FIESTA IS BACK!

Everybody was very excited about it.

I did not plan to go due to my job and busy life, and when come near to the event date, friend from other state ask me if I'm going we might able to share a hotel room, she is looking for accommodation. So I offered her to stay at my place, then only I start to plan my AL (Annual Leave) application.

While waiting for everything to set, I forgot I need to purchase ticket, and you know what? Tickets were SOLD OUT and THERE IS NO ON-SITE TICKETING, HAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!!!!!!!!

So, I informed my friends, see you all OUTSIDE the hall.

But when they knew about it, they tried to source ticket for me (I don't have motivation, hahah) I tried not to bother them and tell them just meet outside, I MAINLY GO FOR THE DINNER, not the event *LOL*

As I still need to work half day in the morning before head to the event anyway.

Day 0

After pick up Seiyume from station, bring her to walk around in KL, we went to Kwai Chai Hong, a tourist attraction and had a quick lunch there. Also I bring her to visit the very first location of COMIC FIESTA, the place where this event was born - KL/Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall!!

Afterward went to hotel to meet up the rest of the group. 

As they need to setup their booth, so I just tag along to help (mainly is to busybody XD). This year the organizer moved the Doujin Booth section to 3rd floor! (I hardly visit 3rd floor all these years).

After the setup, they still try to source ticket for me, in the end 1 of the founder asked another founder to get me a pass (HAHAHAHAA what the) 

But I do really appreciate their help!!

DAY 1

Sent Seiyume off to LRT station and went to work, as I only able to have half day leave. After a quick lunch, parked my car at LRT station and took the train to KLCC. Met up with the founder who got me the pass, then brought him to find his friend inside the hall.

As both of us haven't been into hall before, with the pass we are able to access from any entrance/exit, I so geniusly choose the opposite direction... we had to squeeze through the crowd, anti the flow, all the way till we reach the spot.

Artist Booth aka Doujin Booth area

The air con is not strong enough, everybody inside the hall were complaining too hot.

Commercial booth area

Outdoor area

I think from now onward, whenever I attend CF, I will take photo with this board XD

There are signs telling you what is allowed, what is NOT ALLOWED

Your props will be checked at this point before enter the hall, if the security find your props is not allowed by law, they will let you know.

Remember, national law is higher than event rules.

Day 2

Grab some food and went home to change before heading to event. after arrived shortly, was called by a stranger "Are you Misao?" that had surprised me. He introduced himself and I get to know we had met more than 10 years ago at ARTJAM! He still remember I organized ARTJAM at Times Square so tried to approached to say "HI!".  He also distributed us some candies as wishing us Merry Christmas, I got Seiyume to exchanged her candies with him, HAHA!!


Maybe I was too tired, basically I was hiding behind the booth and had a shot nap. *to be honest I ALWAYS had nap time in event!!* No nap? Not me XD

Wanted to selfie with the candies received, found Seiyume, Sakana and Raywing joined in happily, so ya, group photo then :D
