Circle Of Amour – Mission Accomplished!

July 31, 2007February 28, 2022 sweet surrender 8 Comments

Hahaha… Well… I didn’t intent to do that actually. I managed to have photos taken with two reknown photographers in Malaysia! It’s just for fun 😛 Managed to get Kid Chan and Alvin Leong to take photos with me.

This is my first time meeting Kid Chan in person. Must take this opportunity to take photos with him! Very humble guy. When we asked to have our photos taken with him, he said that he wanted our photos too and passed us his camera so that he could also have a copy of our photos with him. Hahaha…

As for Alvin, 😛 I have many photos of him in action *LOL* Just never have picture taken with him. It’s not the first time meeting him anyway. He’s a friend of mine hahaha…

So… Mission accomplished! This is the end of the Circle Of Amour report by Sweet Surrender.

Sigh… Internet down since 12am+ until now it’s still not working 🙁

Warning: Long post and bandwidth sucker ahead with lots of pretty girls’ photosss…

The most awaited fashion show is here! We were there at around 7pm yesterday. There were so many photgraphers on stand-by already. WOW! Everyone were using huge DSLR, I was feeling so out of place with my very compact digital camera -.-” I wanted to take the front seats and I asked Allen to lead the way since he has a DSLR with him hahaha…

The models were quite pretty unlike some other fashion shows that I attended before. Enjoy the photos hehehe… I didn’t use flash to take the photos because the flashes from the DSLRs were enough to brighten my shoots 😛 However, some were blur, most turned out good. 🙂

Almost all of the shoots of this model turned out sharp and clear because she took time to stop and pose.

This one was a bit fast but towards the evening gown part, she was too fast and the photos turned out blurred. She’s the one in blue evening gown.

This model was quite fast. She kept moving and I was having hard time to get clear and sharp shoots of her.

These two were quite fast also.

Left two: She’s didn’t stand still long enough.
Right: She was OK, she took time to pose.

All three evening gowns pictures turned out blurred. They were too fast -.”

These were OK except the model on the left. She is always too fast.

These shoots were quite clear except the last one, she turned too fast. *LOL* She’s always too fast hahaha…

I like the first model. 🙂 Always slow and steady. The rest were quite fast. Hahaha… How many time I’m using the word “fast” in this post?

Group photos of after the fashion show. You know? Those with DSLRs are more considerate compare to some people with no DSLRs. Like the aunty the other day and some other people.

At the end of the show, everyone went up as close as possible to take photos of the models and Alvin’s team. Everyone is civilised enough to make way for each other to take photos and even one guy kindly let me took his place so that I could take a shoot and asked me whether I manage to take any shoot. I did! That’s the photo on the right. Hehehe… I like this shoot. Well… I cropped it, the original one is nicer. Others even apologized to me when they realised that they blocked my view hehehe… Of course, I also tried my best not to block them haha… Ah well… I’m so small 😛 I don’t take too much of space, so it’s OK *LOL*

The photographers! See all those cameras. I want!!!

There will be a final post for Circle Of Amour hehehe…

Circle Of Amour – Part 2

Goshh.. What kind of bad luck is this? This month is really a month with full of bad lucks! The other time when I was busy getting a preject done, our server got suspended. Then now, I’m still busy, my laptop is having problem! GOSH!! I need to reformat everything, such a waste of time again… I have so many things that still need to do! Good thing, my files are not gone phew…

Warning: bandwidth sucker is on the way!! Sorry to dial-up users.

Went to Circle Of Amour yesterday. At 3pm, there was a contest by Maison Monica, Snow Queen contest where the students were required to do make up on their models. The theme was Snow Queen. After 3 hours+ of makeup, finally they were done and it’s time for them to parade on the stage and to be judged by the panel of judges.

Here are the models, they were not professional models, so some of them were quite shy. Many photos turned out really bad because they were too fast -.-” Some of the models are missing in these photos because they were too fast and all I got were blurry shoots. Sigh… They kept posing to the other side but not to the judges side(we were standing at the judges side)… DUH~ Who will be judging you? It’s the judges, not the audiences! Why so duh~?

You can see all the contestants and models here.

While I was shooting the photos halfway… This aunty squeezed her way to the front and blocked my view! *&*&^%&!##%$ She knew I was busy shooting there and still stand right in front of me to take photos. Ended up, I took her head instead of the model. We were not supposed to go beyong the line that was “drawn” by the organizer but she just pushed herself over the the border. SUCKS! There were so many huge ass DSLRs around *SHAME* I was with my very compact camera. That’s the beauty of having DSLR when you are covering event like this. No one will go right in front of you and block your view like that aunty!

Before the results were announced, there were performance by Sarawak Wushu. I have no idea who won as my camera battery died when they announced the 3rd prize winner.

See what I got? *LOL* A lot right? Samples, brochures, postcards, vouchers…

Will be going to the fashion show tonight. I wonder can I get a nice spot or not *SIGH* With such small camera no one will take you seriously SUCKS!

Warning: Pictures overloaded!

The bridal fair is different from what you always see. Summore there are quite a number of West Malaysia bridal houses joining. Kid Chan was there! He’s giving talk about photography today at 7.30pm. Of course, our very own Alvin Leong was there too. There will be a fashion show by Alvin Leong tomorrow night at 7.30pm.

Right: Everyone that registers themselves will be given a tote bag with cookies, sanitary pad samples and a voucher in it. It’s so useful as you will be getting tonnes of brochures and some samples from the exhibiting booths.

Kuching Bloggers’ Meet 21.07.07

YAY! Told you that I’m going to give you a surprise! So sorry that I didn’t tell you guys that it’s a sponsored meet. It was not supposed to be a sponsored one but hehehe… We manage to get some accidental(or extra should be more appropriate coz it’s to pay for the button badges 😛 Jimmy did the button badges for them) money from Advertlets 😛 It’s not much that’s why I’m not sure want to tell you guys that it’s sponsored or semi-sponsored. I dare not to promise. We only decided to fully sponsored it after judging from the people that turned up and the things ordered. If too many, then it will be semi-sponsored. Hehehe… Hope you understand. Whatever it is, you didn’t pay for anything except your petrol so it’s all good 😛

Here’s some of the food and drinks that we ordered. Ben ordered the most! He had his lunch there! Smart guy hahaha… He’s so happy he didn’t require to pay anything. All of you are really good boys and good girls 😛 Everyone tried to order something affordable coz all of you were very careful in your spending. That’s why at the end you do not need to pay, smart choice! If everyone ordered something expensive… Then you have to pay some money. Overall we spent about RM75.

Left: Me and PlatinumGirl 😛 Hehehe… You can’t see her face.
Middle: Alwyn and Adrian.
Right: Allen and Pazuzu.

Left: Anna, Angel(I’m sorry, didn’t get your blog address, let me know.) and Ehon.
Right: Ben and I.

Left: Anna and I.

Right: CAMWHORING!

Last… Group photo of course!
Insert(top): Jason, what’s your URL?
Insert(bottom): Alex.
Oppsss… I forgot someone… That’s Ah Boa! The one in red in the middle.

We ended it at almost 6pm and guess who came? Kenny Sia! *LOL* However, we weren’t that sakai like gathered around him and asked for autograph or photo session with him. Hahaha… There wasn’t any celebrity treatment. In fact I left not long after that because it’s time already, time to go home for dinner. Some bloggers accompanied him until he finished his lunch! Lunch!?!?! Better say it’s dinner… It’s dinner time already. Of course, he paid for his own orders.

By the way… Notice there’re only few girls? Hehehe…
