September Babies’ Gift Exchange Day

dixonthum
It’s September again!!! And it’s my first time, knowing so many September babies in one place! We had a small gift exchange ceremony in the office yesterday (which coincide with Mui Mui’s birthday. So give face to her worr…)
 
5 beautifully wrapped prezzies…!
 
Came out with a gift-drawing mechanisme by pasting these cartoon pictures on the prezzies and each participant draw out their own matching picture to get their respective gifts…
 
This is the gift I brought… with the most popular wrapping paper…
 
Mui Mui and her huge prezzie…
 
Pinky posing with hers… (I like the wrapper o…)
 
Pui Wan holding the prezzie she brought…
 
Mei gives a "V" sign with her prezzie…
 
Everybody, say cheese!!!
 
Anxiously trying to open the rolled papers to see the matching pictures…
 
Look at me, posing with the small piece of paper…
 
Yeah!!! Each of us got our exchanged gifts liao…! Mui Mui got mine, I got Mui Mui’s, Mei got Pinky’s, Pinky got Pui Wan’s and Pui Wan got Mei’s…
 
After unwrapping the gifts… here’s what we’ve got!!! I use mine in the office… Hehehe…
 
Such a happy event… should have it more often!!! Hahahaha!

KLPF 2009 @ Mid Valley

dixonthum
Another first time with my EOS… hehehe… It’s my first time using my EOS to take model on stage live. It’s the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival in Mid Valley. First, it was the Miss Chinese Cosmos 2009 parading on stage in the morning session. In the afternoon, another batch of beautiful ladies walked the catwalk on stage. It was the Model Shootout Contest. Took the opportunity to learn to shoot photos live and moving objects in the very short period of time. It’s a bit tiring but fun! I even submitted 7 photos for the Model Shootout Contest. But, no win… 😦 Anyway, it’s a good experience…!
  
  
Sweet-looking lady…
  
 
I predict this should be the winner of Miss Chinese Cosmos Pageant 2009…
  
 
I predict this should be Ms K-LINK… muahahaha!
 
 
Urrghhh… but good pose…
 
My predicted top two…
 
 
Ryan from Astro Talent Quest 09… also the MC for the morning show…
 
Look! Models are make-up…
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I like this the most…
 

 In the hall across, there was a Thai fair… Another valuable chance to practise my skills… Hehehe….
 
 
Painting umbrellas attentively…
 
Mein and one of the dancers…
 
 
 
 
 
Performances on stage…
 
 
 
 
 
It’s then the photo contest judging time…
 
I can see my photos in the whole lot…
 
The judge looking seriously for the best pictures…
 

And here are the winners…
 
Later I found out that it was the first time the winner (Andy) took part in such contest… but he’s been taking photos in events and functions all this while… And the 2nd place winner (Khoo) just started photography 5 months ago!!! Coincidentally, he works out in my gym also… I met him this morning and chatted for awhile…
 
Photography, such a wonderful thing to do…!!! Looking forward for the next photo session!!!…

EOS Course for Beginners

dixonthum
Attended the EOS Course for Beginners in KLCC Training Room last Saturday. It’s really good that Canon provide such after-sales service for their customers. It’s just RM50 for this course. Learnt about the basic skills to handle the camera and also some photography technics. Very informative. Frankly speaking, I think all new Canon users should attend this course to start of their long long journey of photography…

MH Refine & Define 09 @ Luna Bar

dixonthum
Mein and I went to Luna Bar for the MH Refine & Define Party on 13 August 09. Got the invites from MH. I was really keen to go there to test my new EOS. It’s my first time using my EOS for a night function… some more with a stage. It’s indeed impromptu and fast. I think it’s the best chance to pick up some photography skills by attending various events and try out different ways to manipulate the gadget.
  
Mein at the red carpet…
 
At the bar upstairs…
 
With the beautiful skyline of KL City…
 
Luna Bar…
 
 
Look! It’s Daphne Iking and the R&D participants…
 
I like this night view of KL… It’s the Bukit Nanas Monorail station…
 
Smoke free zone.. I like!
 
I like this experimental pic…
 

Nice view out there…!

Yasmin Ahmad : Gone Too Soon

dixonthum

I believe everyone (at least Malaysians) knows who Yasmin Ahmad was… and need no further introduction about her contributions to the local movie and advertising industry from me. Those who have been following my blog would notice that I have links to her blogs (the old and new one) since a long time ago. I have been reading her blogs all this while.
 
From her blog, she’s such a great person that I have noticed. I do not only mean how she interpreted her feelings through her movies, but I also meant the meticulous way she answered her fans’ comments in her blog. You can actually feel her heart and emotions whenever she’s responding to a certain comment/issue. She’s so good at being herself. She’s been there in my daily life whenever I read her latest posts. From her last post, I can tell that she’s still got so much things in her mind to present to us. She’s still got so many projects planned. But she’s left us. And all her plans would not be fulfilled anymore. No matter who is taking over her projects, those will never be the same again. There’s no more "Yasmin Ahmad" touch anymore.
 
I will always miss her… She’s gone too soon… A great person has left us and I do believe that God loves her more.
 
(Even by the time I’ve finished writing this post, I still couldn’t accept the fact that she’s left us. She’s left such a great impact to myself.)
