Singapore Toys Games and Comic Convention 2013

Well, its been a very busy week last week and partly because of us me looking forward to another trip down to our neighbors in the south. Reason for my travels this time? The Singapore Toys, Games and Comic Convention 2013 (also know as the STGCC)!

[Lets get our geek on!]

For most of you guys who do not know about this event, the STGCC is the closest thing we have to the ever famous Comic Con here in Asia, simply because the entire event itself is done in collaboration with the New York Comic Con. Each year, the convention will gather some of the best animators, gamers, collectors and of course, cosplayers in the region to come around and show off what they got. In another words, this entire weekend is a collaboration of geeks and nerds in a frenzy of cosplay and awesome toys being showcased in one exhibition hall.

To be honest with you I did not know about this event until I was told to come along with fellow TeamTehTarik member Cereal Cheryl to come along with her for the event. Being a semi-avid costume fan and also an absolute nutter for anything on comics or video games, there was very little chance for me to pass this opportunity along. 

and so, WE MADE OUR WAY THERE!

WARNING: There is going to be a butt load of pics so get ready!

Teh Tarik Reviews: Elysium

As usual, many thanks to the good people of Nuffnang who once again gave me an opportunity to check out another movie preview and this time around, its a movie that really gets the brain thinking of the reality of society today.

There was much hype when it comes to this movie, particularly on the fact that this was another "post modern world apocalyptic" image of what could happen in the future. But the only difference with this movie is that the realism of the possibility of it happening is true, simply because that it is already happening right now as we speak.

Should You Do Abs Workout Everyday?

Everyone that goes to gym would always be chasing for one thing in common, regardless whether its for guys or girls. We all are looking out for that elusive shell hard, ripped six packs abs that would be the envy of other around you. Because of this, we tend to include A LOT of workouts to ensure that we achieve this in our routine.

Problem is, should you be doing abs workouts every single day?

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri from Teh Tarik Drinker!

By gosh that was a fast one....

By the time I realized it the entire month of Ramadhan went through like a breeze and I would have to say that this year it has been a rather physically easier Ramadhan than the years before and I am happy to announce that I successfully controlled my diet throughout the period without a hitch!

Aidilfitri for many are the times that people would take the opportunity to visit their friends and family during the holidays and especially for kids, its a day that everyone would look forward to in the holiday spirit.

I for one would see it as a time to reflect what I am thankful to have for this year.

I am thankful for a clean bill of health

I am thankful for a great opportunity in my career

I am thankful to have met my future life partner

I am thankful for my family and their everlasting support

I am thankful for great friends and companions, especially those that stuck with me through the tough times.

and of course...

I am thankful for the readers that have supported this blog so far.

Salam Aidilfitri to all celebrating out there and happy holidays!

Building the Dream Man Cave

I was looking around for a new category to include in this blog of mine, as a feeble attempt to get readership going again in the blog, and I kinda realized one of the biggest thing that is going on in my life at the moment is on houses.

Let me explain...

Almost all of the people around me now are so caught up with the phase where we look into indulging into houses and "our very own pads" and quite frankly I too got caught up with the bug as well. As many of you would already know, I have been hunting around for a place to call my own for the last one year, basically looking around the main township area for a decent condo to purchase (was kinda against the whole idea of renting because of something happened in the past).

Gladly enough... I found the place!

But thats a story for another day.

For now, I wanna talk about Man Caves...
