2010 New Year Countdown

It's the time of the year that we pick where to celebrate the last day of the year. Considering all the traffic jams and event, we move to Magnum Live Telecast 2010 New Year Countdown at Queensbay Mall, Penang. We selected to park at Chee Ang's condo as there were spaces for visitors. But smuggling out from the eagle eye of the guards was kind of excited. Headed out to the concert area around 7 something and the place is already starting to be flooded with early birds. All are here to catch a glimpse of their idol from Taiwan, Power Station and Tank which are known to have power house vocals. Not forgetting other artists & groups of well known and emerging malaysia artist that embrace the concert belting several crowd favourites. Seeing the artist like 林健辉, ManHand, 谢宛婷 , Jojo and others were a exhilirating feeling and proud that malaysia too have their great singers! The songs they sang was fit to my trail of favourites! Such an enjoy with superb music and friends to spend the last day of the year in collaboration.

I was not able to get some clean shots due to my height. "Should eat taller to be a photographer T_T" So, need to change some strategy during the shoots on the artiste and with my 90mm macro lens, I wasn't able to capture the glimpse of the whole stage structure though. Just able to share some shots on the artist and some surroundings. Still think sifu's shot was better than mine. I still use previous photoshop frames to arrange my photos.

26th December 2009

This day will be one of the best moments for my family. Today was set as the day for my sister's Guo Da Li ceremony and my dad's birthday. 2 happy events happened at 1 day. I was appointed by sis to take some photos during the Guo Da Li ceremony. Guo Da Li is a ceremony where both parents handed the dowry before the wedding day. Bride's family will prepare the traditional ang pau for the groom and his parents, new beddings for the newly weds bedroom, wedding lamp, sweets, clothes for groom and others. My brother-in-law's parents reached our place around 7 something in the morning. They also brought over some ang pau, 2 bottles of VSOP, a pair of candles and jostick for prayers, oranges, wedding biscuits and others. I created some collages using new technique I learnt from photoshop. More photos in flickr. Enjoy!

Today was dad's birthday as well! We brought a cake for him to celebrate with my second aunt which came over to enjoy the jovial ceremony. Dad was happy with the cake hehe... Yum Yum ^_^
