Yet another interesting and fun shooting for the year. Although I missed the fun of shooting SuperGT event with the gang this year, but at least this is something in return as “consolation prize”. Me and gang were there kinda late coming from Scott Kelby’s photo”talk” (as we “talk” more than “walk”). After having our “char koey teow” at the Clan Jetties, we walked all the way from there to the Esplanate to continue our shooting for this event.

As of every year, the event was full with joy, beutiful people, dances and performance. But I felt that there’re less performances by the Japanese traditional dance groups as compared to last year and wonder if this was the effect of the economic downturn? I would really love to see more of the traditional performances or at least our local performers would pick up more of the dances as part of the culture exchange program.

Harmony Hafla: Malaysia 2nd World Belly Dance Day Charity Event 

For another year, I am lucky enough to be invited to take part on this great event with teetoo & g3k as the official photographers; and this year we got a few new friends joining us for the fun: Kelvin, Soo Jin & Ivan. It’s been fun shooting with them but not forgetting to thank Kelvin for lending me his CF. (Gosh! I really need to get my additional CF card!)

Just got to know from Shee Loo that this charity event has successfully collected $33.5K for the Children Protection Society and Sam Cheng Everloving Care. Kudos to Zero Fitness Studio crew and the performers from all over the world for putting up this meaningful event and helping the needed ones.

通常这种人潮拥挤的热闹场面，我是避而远之；
可这次不知吃错舍药，竟然”爽约”了个跛子去”热血”了一下…
(注意最后一张照片, 那是我当天最得意的照片, 拐杖Monopod, 死味?)

这种场面本来就不太会拍,
随便拍拍, 乱乱后制,
希望你心脏可以负荷.

热血万岁!!!

Thanks to Shee Loo’s invitation, I got the opportunity to be the official photographer covering this exciting event. This “hafla” (belly dance party) organized by the Zero Fitness & Dance Studio was held at Tanjung Bungah Hotel’s Ballroom. The key highlight of the night was the dance performance by the VIP performer Nath Keo from Canana, which was the first professional male belly dancer’s performance in Malaysia…

The excitement went on all night long…

This was my 2nd time in 3 years attending this Japanese annual event. Bon Odori marked an important milestone in my photography journey 3 years ago. This was the event when I fall in love with (digital) photography, shooting my 1st event with my brother’s DSLR; and I never look back after that….

Something wrong with you eyes?

My 2nd year joining Rojak Studio folks for this “crazy” event. OK, I have to admit, we were not there for the car racing thingy; that’s why we asked: Got Car Meh? (was there any race car?) I guess we enjoyed taking pictures of the Japanese Race Queens (as well as other local babes) than anything else; to the extend that we never aware of any race car throughout the event…..

It was a really enjoying trip for me to be able to do the shooting together with a bunch of portrait enthusiasts; sharing the laughter, joy & experience as well as “poisoning” each other with their latest gears & equipments….

Rojakians: “Vvvvvvv……..”
