Youth'10

Last Saturday went to Malaysia Youth'10. It was the first time I went for such event where I can't really find the point of this event, maybe I dumb & stupid enough to discover the current youth trend...

Most of their activity look attractive (remember, look only), but in the matter of fact, only few cat my attention such as: 3 on 3 basketball, futsal, and the rock show (especially the part where the band "Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob".

Other that that their booth and activity were not catch my eye at all, seriously... got 1 booth was fried and selling keropok ikan at the exhibition hall (indoor), I wonder, how it will bring benefits to our youth? By asking them :" Hey, sell keropok as you future career, it might bring great income for you and make you a billionaire ~~!"

Anyway, it was a good efford to make such pointless event in such size. Good job on that ~! Lets enjoy some photos I shot during the whole day. Not much for the Youth thing since nothing worth me to shoot.

The vips and celebrities?




Dato?


Datuk?


Some masked man at the creative & design booth

The only activity of this event was the rock show and the best part where the band "Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob" live on the stage. I enjoy shooting photos during that moments ~! because they ROCK ~!!

Bob, I waiting for your EP ya ~!!

After the event we went to Korean BBQ Steambot Buffet to had our dinner ~! Since it was a bufet, we were so full until feel like dying..haha

Tom Yam vs Chicken Soup




Prawn, I must thanks to Li Yeh for peeling the prawn's shell for me while I shooting photo..hehe

After dinner session we straight went to Hulu Langat Look Out Point to have our lim teh session there. The view there always that PRETTY. Can't resist my self to took a few shot over there and of cause a group photo ~!

It was a pretty damn super hyper mega giga enjoyable night with my them, they all are crazy that night (except during the Youth'10 event, not really enjoy there).

Share your opinion on the Youth'10 event on my chat box. And for those who do not agree my comments on the event... You should close my blog earlier, why the hell you still continue reading till the end?

The Proud of APR1

Ok, I skipped many post and straight jump to this story because I want to keep this post as hot & fresh as possible since this just happened yesterday and it just made most of APR1 (soon to be APR2) proud.

YES, one of our photo from our SOS Earth event that organized by APR1's student had made the front page on one of the supplement of The Star newspaper, Star Special Higher Education.

The story featured in this page were some of our event that done by School of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) Mass Comm unit. And of course mostly was about the events that organized by PR students.

From the photo above you can see me (in the dead center of the photo) have the most "proportion" in the photo...kekekeke ! I might be famous because The Star have 304,904 circulation of paper and over million of readership daily.

I scanned the page, but the photo was not really clear, not to mention the words too. But this is the best I can do, if you want to read the whole news, please do refer to yesterday (14th April 2010) The Star newspaper, under Star Special.

I personally felt very proud, not because of my face appear on the paper, but it show our hard work for our event had finally pay off. And I hope this will and break the mindset of other who think that PR is a "very easy to study" subject and never think that we are professional, where for them they only see doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc were professional but not PR.

Since my mom until now still do not understand what the hell I'm studying and doubt I can get a good job in future. I think I can show off this to my mom...hehehe

World Vision Operation Botak (Bald)

Well consider lucky to me because I do not know there will be this event at The Curve and luckily I brought my DSLR that day where the intention of me bringing the camera was not for this event but to shoot photos of Nottingham University at Semenyih but end up shoot nothing.

So I spot this event from 2nd floor when I first saw a cardboard tunnel that full of photos at the exhibition floor and many peoples was queuing to shave their head bald.

The view from 2nd floor

This was a great opportunity for me to practice my event shooting skill. So I told my family to go on to Ikea first and I'll will catch up later.

Basically there were 2 main exhibition area in this event. One is the photo exhibition tunnel which was the cardboard thing and another one is the "shaving" area where all the volunteer were shaving their head bald. Here some photos shot during the event.

The main title for the photo exhibition

Some exhibited photos in the exhibition. There are quite a number of photos but these are some that I liked the most







Some candid shots of the "shaver"



Lovely father and duaghter



Bald couple





Shaving in progress, bravo girls~~!! you needs hell lots of guts to shave your long hair to no hair, and you did it ! wish your hair grown back soon and fast

I know some of you might asking me why I didn't shave my head? Well I rather donate double the money than shaving my head bald, so I donated to World Vision during that day.

Kenny Roger's Roaster Scholarship

Last Thursday I went to Berjaya University College of Hospitality (BUCH) and photographing the launch of Kenny Roger's Scholarship that located at the 14th floor inside Berjaya Times Square building.

This was the first time I visit BUCH and it doesn't look like a college for me. It is looks more like a hotel with high class restaurant that run by student. YES, STUDENT !! The student all are under courses related to hospitality such as hotel management, culinary, restaurant management and more.

They all look smart in the chef like uniform, walking in the lobby of the college, but instead call it as a college, I rather call it as a high class hotel. By the way, sorry for didn't really manage to show you guys the photos on their lobby because I didn't shoot it, I'd only shot the hall way I walked to the restaurant.

Enough for BUCH, back to my topic. Kenny Roger's Scholarship, they sponsoring RM 100,000 for all the student who taking hospitality related course. So who studying hospitality now, you guys can apply, if I not mistaken, it will sponsoring 4 person each time this scholarship open for application.

Well, just like normal launching, we invite media, guest and of cause VIPs, but what new for me was the launch was done in a fine dining restaurant.

The Samplings on the Fourteen fine dining restaurant, that run by the students from

After some prep, peoples from media, guest, Kenny Roger's supplier, staff from Kenny Roger's and BUCH and more were started to fill the restaurant.

When all the guest and VIPs reached, then the launching begins... Its a simple launching like those typical launch events. Introduction, VIPs speeches, formal launch ceremony and photo opportunities.

The Chicken mascot from Kenny Roger's






This photo appear on the media, the Sinar Harian newspaper on 22th March.

After all the ceremony done, we all were seated to have our Kenny Roger's Roaster quarter chicken set and muffin. After the main course, then they (the students) serving us the dessert and some tea and coffee.

The strawberry dessert, I have no idea what this dessert named but I only know it tasted GOOD !

After the launching and lunch, I was quite free to shoot photos and walk around and I discovered this while I found my way to the washroom...

Potted plant and a painting I found in the lift lobby

Although this is not the first time I done a launching event, but this launch "teach" me some new experience that totally different from the previous launch event I done. Shot quite a number of photos and post-production all the photos straight after I reached the office in the same day cause need to send to the media.

(p/s: the photos in this post might low in quality because I was testing somethings here)

Launching of the 8th Edition Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary

Before I get into the topic, let me apologies for not uploading my blog for quite a time, I was busy for some events and some personal stuff, and I felt tire and bit lazy to blog after my working day and even weekend. Besides that, I will try to update the event I been gone through, and this is the first one, the launch of the 8th Edition Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, OALD in short.

Last week Thursday I went for the launching of OALD happened at the residence of British High Commission Kuala Lumpur. It is the first launching event I ever done and I was the photographer and helpers for my company during that event.

Actually not much for saying, just some VIPs, media, guest, student, mountain of dictionary and loads of photos...

I never see a dictionary been arrange this nice before

During the event, almost every guest is given a FREE copy of this dictionary which cost RM 89.90 with the CD that contain the software version of OALD and some cool feature where I thought it suit me very much. And YES, I DO have a copy for free too.. hahaha

Actually the cover is quite nice, look very pro

Other than shooting photos, I also the designer for this event backdrop. I been working this out for almost 1 week because there are many editing here and there, but in the end the result was fantastic, and I never done something this big before (I think)

1 week of hard work, it may look simple, but trust me, it is not when doing it

And another thing that I quite happy is my photos shot during this event is publish in newspaper and some online news website.

From New Strait Times, both online version and printed version
