Comic Fiesta Committee, 2010 – 2011
A confused Indian who happens to knows a thing or two about writing, so he’s in charge of writing whatever needs to be written and receiving next-to-nothing as compensation. Oh, he also takes some decent pictures. Don’t know why you would be interested in that, but there you go.
He was studying Engineering for 3+ years before snapping out of his daydream, and now is desperately trying to finish his course in Software Engineering and Games Design before the world ends in 2012.
He’s been swimming in the ACG pool for quite a while, coming up with crazy ideas, creating events and working behind the curtains for EMiNA Cyberjaya since 2006. But generally, he writes better than he codes. He’s weird like that, and he knows it.

Proudly claiming that he is not an otaku and does not watch anime yet managing anime related clubs and events eversince he was 17. Have the tendency to sing out of the blue to suggest he love singing and yet not having an eco friendly voice thus explain his obsession over karaoke. Extremely attached to his rundown PSP that he bring everywhere he goes…yes,toilet too. And a good example of a non photogenic individual.

StrifeDiscord
Age: 26
Primary Task: Stage
Profession: Lecturer
Experience:
CF Committee 2005-2011
You probably have no idea what a physics and maths freak is doing in this committee, and frankly neither does he. Started off just wanting to share his love for anime/game music by being the DJ, should have been ancient history by now but somehow got dragged away from the throes of resignation with an offer for his current post. When he’s not busy bending over backwards making sure the event flows properly, he can be found next to a pile of papers trying to prove, among others, the inherent insanity of the world using nothing but lego bricks.
