wolfx Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 For now they are "con-exclusives" but depending if the "organisers" wanna handle preorders and shipping, we'll open it for preorders later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 For now they are "con-exclusives" but depending if the "organisers" wanna handle preorders and shipping, we'll open it for preorders later. You offer sizes other than L and you'll probably get many pre-orders! Like me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Hakim and Sahir! Wow you guys coming down from opposite sides of Malaysia. Glad to have you join us. Hakim: Correct, it is just opposite of IDP Australia. If you know where is IDP, then you're already 99% to Taylor's. Sahir: If you take KTM to Subang Jaya, I think best if you take a taxi from there and tell the driver to get to Taylor's College main building. You probably pay about RM5 or less only. And btw my news article went up in a local newspaper, The Star. Dang this event is getting bigger than I have anticipated. http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?...c=lifebookshelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
