Konohaians Mini Gathering 2007

Haha, I shud post this yesterday with some pics. Too bad my friends havent send me those nice pics yet. Shud take some time though.. wish i have a digital cam. Then it will be convenient to post some pics sooner too.

Back to the event, the Konohains (RO players who was a member of the guild Konoha b4 it disbanded 2 years ago) have a mini gathering at Midvalley Mall on 13th Jan, Saturday. Well, it was actually super mini gathering since only 8 of us managed to show up thou we expected 2 more (konoha big shots, Tipah and Mahata). Those who present were Sakura (organiser), Anakin (myself), Eishi (happens to be in KL that day, from Sabah), Nik and his friends, Dannz and Bizkin. Anyway, we went on with our plan of watching a movie marathon (2 movies back to back).

First movie was Sinking of Japan, a japanese sci-fi blockbuster which by now the biggest opening of foreign movie in Malaysia to date. It tells of the destruction of Japan due some mega fault on the Earth's tetonic plate the nation sitting on. Full of rather dramatic shots of special effect with earthquake, volcano eruption and tsunami bring destruction on many of the Japan places of interest (destruction on otaku's haven T.T). While the story was a little like a what-ifs docu-drama (plenty of geografical jargons) with rather predicable plot, it still interesting to watch.

But same cant be said to the next movie in line- Pathfinder. The movie got, perhaps the coolest movie promotional poster ever to fest my eye on which the reason why the movie might looks interesting. The movie got a world premier opening in Malaysia (April 2007 on the rest of the world). It tells of an abandoned Viking child on a north America coast 400 years before Christ Columbus even set foot on it. The child taken in and grew up by a local indian tribe which at that time lives in fear of Viking raids. Even watching the trailer you know what the story about.... Though it boosts some rather notable gory action scenes but the story's pace was rather dull and predictable. You even questions how a lone youngster who practice swordfight by himself on a peaceful village manage to fight and kills hordes of battle-harden Viking warriors... Even Conan have a gladiator slave background to fall back on... Better wait for 300.

Soon after the movie, we head to Wangsa Maju to play RO (guild war) in Tbun. Even our guild have a good member attendance that evening, we fails to get a castle. lol. So after the war, we had dinner at the nearby mamak. We even manage to ask Yanyan , a fellow Konohain who lives nearby to join us. Time running out for public transport, we called it a day.

Next day, some of us meet up for lunch at KL Central. Bizkin even brought a chocolate cake (planned to be brought the day b4) with Konoha Gathering 2007 written on it.. How nice. We chatted for a few hours before we warpped up the gathering.

Hope there will be a bigger and better gathering later this year.
