Weight Issues

A picture is worth a thousand words. This picture may require a little more explaination than usual.

I took this pic on my way to Cineleisure on Sunday to collect a game. I was surprised to see this metal barrier badly bent. Wonder if someone REALLY heavy sat on it or a serious accident took place here. Not sure if the dark liquid below it is blood or something else. Most likely caused by an accident, but I should probably let you create the story for yourselves.

Gingy!!

Gingy here is another clever marketing product used by the creators of Shrek. While most people believe these toys are targeted towards kids, unknown to them young adults buy them too.

I never really caught on to buying toys from Mc Ds all that much (face it, the Happy Meal toys I got weren't exactly quality goods). But if you check this little guy out, you will be surprised to find that he is the exact opposite of the old Happy Meal toys. Not only does he not have typical karate chopping, top spinning of yester years toys, he actually talks! Yeah, there is some real class in this toy. Gingy says a phrase from the movie when you press the bottom most button.

Pretty niffty to hear a plastic ginger breadman actually talk. Can't wait to see the next evolution of fast food toys. Imagine Shrek actually farting or bleeching in your Happy Meal! On second thought.... that may not be such a good idea....

More BIG wigs

Here some more pics of the HP's Black to Basic Event. Nothing star studded. Just a simple fashion show and notebook launch rolled into one. Enjoy

HP Big Wigs

Went to One U last Saturday to cover a HP event. They had a bunch of models struting across the catwalk with their latest line of notebook PCs. Most of them had funky big Afro wigs. Kinda funny watching them. This model probably had the craziest looking wig of them all.

I mean how many people do you see sporting a bright red Afro hair style around Malaysia?

Was an interesting show over all. Very tiring at the end of it all, taking pictures left and right. Will post up more pics later on in the week.

Rumble in the urban jungle

Mobile phone games have come a long way from the ever popular Snake game found in most Nokia phones during the early half of this decade. Hotlink invited us to witness the launching of their new mobile phone trading card game, think Pokemon minus the cute cudely creatures and replace them with blood thirsty amazon warriors who wouldn't even blink to have your heart for breakfast. Yup, good times.

"So...how did the business deal with Tarzan go?"

"Welcome to paradise, here's your drink and crown. Enjoy your stay."

Things got a lil' toastie as this street performer pulled off his fire breathing act.

"What? There's a blood thirsty Mayan priest behind me who wants to sacrifice me at the altar?"

"Gasp! It's the mighty stone tablets of the Gods....Ooooohhhhh!!!"

Mayans always love a good duel to the death to settle their differences.

There can only be one !!

Butterflies in Thailand

This isn't a full post. Have been busy so I hardly have time to find something long to write about. I will just post up some pics that I took the past two days to end this terrible post draught.

I followed Chris and Kit to the Butterfly Park yesterday to have a go at taking pictures of bugs. The butterflies there were pretty friendly. They kept coming up to us. The problem was finding the good looking ones that were willing to sit still.

Today I went to StarHill to cover an event. The organisers took us to this Thai restaurant on the funky looking Feast floor. Food wasn't spectacular. But it didn't matter since I wasn't paying for it.

Some Japanese Race Queens (basically Grid Girls) came to our office to promote the SuperGT, which will take place some time soon at the Sepang International Circuit. They kept saying "Jumpa di Sepang" as they handed out freebies to us.

Going Wild

I've been really busy as of late. Lots of articles to write up and I've been recently been watching this amazing anime, Eureka Seven. Now that I've finally finished watching all 50 episodes I've got some time to do other stuff.

Last week I went on a jungle excursion with Olympus into a forrest area new Tanjung Malim. Spent one night under the stars and out in the wild. Took up the assignment as it was something out of the ordinary.

Our 4 x 4 convoy stopped by Yik Mun where we had lunch and sampled the famous Tanjung Malim Pau.

The Famous Yik Mun Pau. To be honest I found the paus a little over rated.

Going into the jungle

Crossing over the first stream

The journey through the jungle was rough as the "road" was rocky and muddy. The car 4 wheel drive in front of my car was stuck in the mud.

Setting up camp

Putting up our tents

Just a stone's throw away from the camp is a small stream and waterfall.

As darkness falls, lights were set up near the stream.

Our cook showed lots of enthusiasm in his cooking. Wonder what is cooking? Chicken that's what.

We had a little telematch after dinner.

Some participant making teh tarik in the jungle. Suffice to say, we all sucked.

The stream is a nice place to cool down even in the morning sun.

A close up shot of the waterfall.

After spending half the afternoon packing, we were all ready to go back to civilisation.

Fashion On 1

The past weekend had been a hectic one for me. Having look through the papers on Saturday I noticed that there was a Fashion show going in One U. Thought I'd give a it a shot since I wanted to explore different areas of photography.

In anycase, these are my pictures from the fashion show. Enjoy.

Waiting: A young girl waits patiently for the show to start.

Kong in the house: I was surprised to see Dr. Kong, my first year Marketing lecturer among the crowd. Probably catching the show with his daughter while his wife goes shopping.

They hunger: These were the photographers I had spent most of my time with during the photo shoot.

There was even a fashion for maternity wear. Sure enough, all the models wore pillows under the bellies to achieve the look.

At the end of each clothing line, all the models will parade around the catwalk before calling it a day.
