It was fun shooting all pretty girls in bikinis.  Lots of nose bleed. but two hours of photoshooting of over twenty four models is way too short, and it was started late, and ended early.  I took about 1000 shots in two hours, I have selected about fifty photos for your viewing pleasure.

I have been very busy volunteering the Transformers Convention itself, and I didn’t manage to update any post to my site.  The three days Transformers Convention 2009 in Queensbay Mall just ended, but the memory stays forever.

Those who missed it, don’t worry, I have covered most major parts of it.  I shall give you a “virtual tour” on the exhibition for those who missed it, and for those who wanted to know more.

At the moment, please enjoy the exhibition while I prepare the virtual tour for you all.  Stay tuned

The Final day of the Auto-City Carnival 2009 was simply amazing! With lots of fun and trill activities running non-stop in the entire day! From Children colouring contest, to GT Racing Demo, to Beauty Queen Street Parade!  I was completely enjoyed every moment of it despite the short misty rain in the afternoon.

The GT Racing Demo was kind of dangerous to perform on such a small area, with no proper safety barrier, kids and family running around, nobody is expecting a race in such a crowded place. Despite with all personnel safeguarding the road, I think it is still pretty risky as kids or unexpected people may walk into the race track even with personnel and railing guarded the track.  I don’t see any emergency unit standing by in case anything a happened.

Lots of funny characters from the sponsors made special appearance today, including a God of the Wealth (财神爷) from Da Ma Cai, Two-legged walking cheese from Pizza Hut, Chicky from KFC, Kuntum’s mutated rabbit, numerous Special make-up from Ivy’s Studio joining the Beauty Queen Street Parade.

The Miss Auto-City Pageant 2009 and Manhunt 2009 Final was a quick one before they announce the result.  The stage lighting again is great to photograph and with the right White Balance, ISO and Aperture, it was another walk in the park.  I just love the couple shoots.

The second day of Auto-City Carnival was a amazing.  The crowd is great, I wasn’t expecting much to get from the second day as I am already satisfied with the result I got from day one.  However, day 2 was even better.

Miss Auto-City Pegeant 2008 Natalie Chuah was busy being surrounded and photographed by hundreds of Photographers.  I bet her eye could hardly open with dozens of flashes non-stop shooting towards her.  I didn’t follow the crowd as I’ve already have plenty of her photos yesterday.

The sunset lighting was perfect today at 7pm.  Photographers was massive with all kinds of toys not to miss the great sunset lighting.

One of the event girls I must mention - Vince Wong.  I had the opportunity to work with her dispite the busy time and crowded area, she was pretty much stayed focus and followed my instruction.  She is cute, smart and picked up my eye contact and body language instruction I sent to her very quickly.  Many of her photograph are just stunningly beautiful. You must see her photos.

The Semi-final round of Miss Auto-City Pegeant 2009 and Man Hunt 2009 was better than the first round, eleminated some of the rhinos elephants dinasours. The stage lighting was perfect, all photos turns out perfectly great and balanced, making the photographing experience was a walk in the park.

The Miss Auto-City Pegeant 2009 also included “Auto-City’s Got Talent”.  Some contestants sing, belly dance, traditional dance, and even play piano.  How I wish there are buzzers like in Britain’s Got Talent, some of the performances are so horrible and deserved to be buzzed off within the first ten seconds.

The first day of Auto-City Carnival was a great experience.  The crowd is small, I have the opportunity to photograph the Miss Auto-City 2008 Pegeant with very little interference.  Especially Natalie Chuah, she is such a gorgeous lady, extremely photogenic and easy to work with.

It started off with few photography session in the afternoon, opening ceremony in the evening. 

Followed by first round of Miss Auto City Pegeant 2009 contest, and Fashion Show of Miss Auto-City 2009 in front of SOHO, all the way until 1am in the morning.  It is the longest first day event I’ve ever seen with TWO fashion shows running one after another.

Day 3 was amazing with more bridal show and even more exciting body painting by Ivy Make Up & Beauty Academy.

The D&L Bridal Show by Blissful Bridal once again proved themselves another stunning show with more surprises.

The crowd wasn’t as many day 2, but still gathered lots of photograhers.

Congratulate to the Bripex organisers for such amazing event, hopefully next year will come back with even more exciting Bripex 2010!

Day 2 was an amazing day for the bridal show in Bripex 2009, photographers gathered around the stage from far apart, and quickly seeing beginners jammed their way to the stage to get some up skirt close up shots while the more experienced one stayed behind with tele lens.

The D&L Bridal Show by Blissful Bridal is simply amazing, unique, outstanding, and eye popping.

It took me quite some time to sort out the Bripex day 2 pictures, 80 out of 1000 pictures were corrupted for some reason.

Stay tuned for more photos in Day 3, mean while, enjoy the Day 2 photos.

The Saint Patrick’s Day Carnival in Juru Auto City held in 14 March 2009 is pretty much a successful.  It rained a bit earlier about 6pm, but it doesn’t stop the crowds coming in.  Luckily the rain was just a light one and lasted only less than an hour.  The crowd keeps coming in and at the peak from 9pm.

Lots of fun station games setup for the crowds including The High Striker (smash the platform with a giant mallet to ring the bell), Bull Rodeo (ride on an electronic bull until you are throw out from it), Bungee Run (Two players race with a monkey rope tied on the back) and The Asteroid Ride (Sit tight, strap yourself in a rotatable sphere, and spin in 360 degree in all direction until you throw up)
