Circle Of Amour – Part 3

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.

Maxis 3G In Kuching

July 15, 2007July 15, 2007 sweet surrender 15 Comments

Oh… If you guys sometimes do strike up a chat session with me in Gmail and I didn’t entertain you, please don’t hate or think that I ignore you. Once I logged in my Gmail, I usually will just let it there without closing the window and not bothering to change my status in there because I’m don’t bother about the chat function hahaha… So if you did send a chat to me, I won’t know unless it happens that I go to check my mail. Just to let you know 🙂

I’m sure many of you know that Maxis 3G is here in Kuching now. Previously only Celcom, now Maxis is in. When will be DiGi turn? To promote this new service of Maxis, they have a mini exhibition at Tun Jugah. I went there yesterday night. Not sure how long it will last.

You can find out more on what 3G can do for you there.

You’ll be given a card and several brochures by the promoters when you are there. The card is for you to explore the stations at the exhibition. There are 4 stations(or 5… Forgot :P), when you are in each station, they will show you what you can do with Maxis 3G. You can play games, watch TV, monitor your home with your mobile phone and what else? Hehehe… I didn’t really pay attention to it 😛 I’m sure you can learn more from Maxis. Just to let you know that, this Maxis is not related to the Maxis that develop the game called The Sims. Hehehe… That’s one of my favourite games. However, you can play this Maxis game with Maxis 3G 😛 Got confused already?

After station hopping, you will need to fill in your particulars in the card and then they will give you a free gift. Guess what? It’s a PEN(photo on the right)! 😛 Hahaha…

Here are some details about Maxis 3G in Kuching from The Borneo Post:

Maxis 3G is backed by Maxis high speed EDGE network which covers 69.7 per cent of Kuching. The City currently has 90.5 per cent 2G coverage, and 3G is three times faster than EDGE and six times faster than GPRS.
Kuching is now totally covered by Maxis high speed network and its coverage encompasses more than half of the city. The areas covered included Petra Jaya, Pending Industrial Area, the town centre (Padungan and commercial hub), Batu Tiga and Tabuan.

TOWN?!!?!? We are downgraded to TOWN now. Ah well…

Malaysia China Friendship Park(3)

June 16, 2007June 15, 2007 sweet surrender 20 Comments

Went to Malaysia China Friendship Park on Wednesday for some shootings hehehe… What kind of shooting? Some sort of movie 😛 I’m just one of those small characters. While waiting for the rest of the crews to arrive, we bought some fish food to feed the fish in the man-made pond. It costs RM2 per packet. Sigh… There’s layer of oil floating on the surface of the water. How come? How are the fishes and tortoises going to breath?

By the way, the 3 scenery photos were taken with K800i. I did take some with my camera but… the quality were bad. My phone took better photo my my camera 😛

Here fishy fishy…
Left: Taken with K800i.
Right: Taken with my digital camera.
In this case, my digital camera did a better job 🙂

Nothing much… Just to show you some fishies 😛 Hmm… Sis coming back today and tonnes of chocolates all the way from UK are coming… Can’t wait to eat them *slurp* I think you’ll soon be bombarded with all my chocolate posts.
