Singapore + Games Convention Asia (September 2009)

Updated: Jan 15, 2021

Limkokwing University somehow decided to sponsor the game course a study trip for Games Convention Asia (GCA). I took the opportunity to go since I haven't been to Singapore and I want to attend a game con.

Turned out I'm the only Malay and Muslim going and the event hosted on the last two days of Ramadan. Most Muslim students had left to go back to their hometown for Eid al-Fitr.


GCA:

GCA GAMES CONVENTION ASIA is a major video game exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region. It consists of a public exhibition and a conference where the various players in the video game industry network and interact with each other, while showcasing their latest products and services to the public. Games Convention Asia serves as an entryway for companies trying to enter the Asian interactive entertainment market

I'm super thrilled Granado Espada open booth and I played their booth games non stops just to win official goodies (yes at that time I'm addicted to that game) XD



Meeting the Legend: Ian Livingstone

Honestly I made the biggest mistake is not checking the event panel. I didn't realise Ian Livingstone would be there! My bf and I are his big fan and we have tons of his "Choose your Adventure" books and we didn't bring any DX

So instead of having him sign on the book, he signed on our delegate cards.


In the evening most of us either rest of explore Singapore. I have to say, while Singapore is literally clean, the lifestyle however is hectic and stressful. I kept hearing car honking.
