PC Fair 2008

I went to PC Fair by Pikom at KLCC today with a bunch of friends. I was packed with people. REALLY packed!! Crowd control was bad. Plenty of ways in but so little exits.
Initially we were suppose to go in a group but eventually some of them turned up late so we split into two groups. I was in the group the went to KLCC first.

The LRT was like a can of sardines. At every station/stop, no one was getting down. When we reached we made our way to the exhibition area. Frankly, the exhibition that I've been in Ipoh is nothing compared what is available here.

The first booth I visited was the P1 booth. P1 is the first company to offer WiMax. WiMax is something like wireless broadband. There were so many people there so my group left the booth(or rather I left the booth) and head to the next exhibition area.

The next area is specially dedicated for sound systems. The whole hall was fill with all sorts of sound systems with heavy bass music playing at every booth. Sound systems are really not my thing and I think it is not that important part of upgrading my PC. So, after one of my buddy bought a headset we left the area.

The next area was all about computers (laptops and desktops systems). I find the most interesting part of this area was the Intel booth. They were promoting their new breed of 45nm processor. I got a free gift from the booth just by participating in the 'activity'. Collecting stamps(chop) after listening what they want to promote at each station. The free gift was...a microSD card reader...with no card... =.=||

An awesome machine at the Intel booth

So we moved on and met up with the other group. Not long after that my group left me with the other group.. =.=|| and we are splitted into two groups again...So we continue to the huge exhibition halls at the ground floor.

Lots of people leh....


We practically spent most of our time here and it is the most packed area. Plenty of booths and one strange thing is there are multiple booth of the same company/brand(duno why leh...).

There is this narrow passage named Hall 3. This is where a lot of people got stuck. See the pic. We got stuck here as well as the we can only exit from Halls 4 & 5.
Jam packed!!


Just to get the LRT ticket home takes a long time. The place is packed. Luckily got back to my condo before it became dark.

It was really nice but it really needs better crowd control. Everyone is packed like sardines at Hall 3. My legs are quite sore now because hardly got to sit. Literally walked the whole day. The pics are not that clear coz I dont have a proper camera and the phone camera is really bad.. =(
