Italianese @ Midvalley

Went to Midvalley last week to have a dinner with ex-uni mates...Suggested there as some of them never try it... Bread was served while we looking at what we want to order...
 
Bread was dipped into a mixture of olive oil and soy sauce. Some might not like the smell / taste of olive oil but that is what makes it great and Italians...
We ordered Mussels Fra Diavolo (Mussels in spicy tomato broth) and Sicilian Chicken Salad (Diced chicken breast, mangoes, red grapes and pine nuts, tosed in Lemon-dijon dressing on crispy romaine lettuce) as starter


The Mussels didn't turn out to be as delicious as I expected. Because of the Mussels used I think... It was not as tasty as the one I ate on my previous visit. But the salad is quite nice... (",)
Then for main course, we had Seafood Cioppino (Mussels, calamari, clams, and shrimp sauteed in white wine and tossed in a spicy marinara sauce. Served with fettuccine pasta) and also Shrimp Linguine (Sauteed shrimp served with marinara sauce).
The Shrimp Linguine was great... With fresh and big shrimp as you can see in the photo... (",)


As for desserts, we had their famous New York Strawberry Cheese Cake and Tiramisu


Yummy Yummy... total damage is RM210 for 6pax

Amazing Thailand

It was weeks ago when I went to Midvalley they have this Amazing Thailand festival. Thailand, our neighbour country, is full with excitements, full with exotic foods, and arts. When I went to Hat Yai, I did tried some of the food and it taste special. Some of them were really nice. And Thailand is some where really worth to visit.

Actually every country has it's own culture... in Thailand, you can see that they very respect their King. You can see that their King's posters everywhere. And there are many temples in Thailand. They prayed a lot. Not like what we are doing... played a lot... Haha...

KLPF 20090816 @ Midvalley

Yeah... second round of my visit to KLPF... I reached at around 11am and the exhibition hall is already very crowded because of the EOS Miss Chinese Cosmos Pageant SEA 2009 Photography Contest. Pageant had cat walk on the stage for photogs to shoot. Although the contest is only open for Canon users, but other brand supporters will never miss the chance to shoot leng luis... So the area around the stage was as crowded as the day before. I did took some photos of the pageants, but I'll post it in another post later. Now I'll continue with the booth girls.

As expected, after news about there are girls to shoot at booth, there will be more photogs a.k.a. "buaya" will appear at the hall today... Haha...
It was not as easy to shoot as yesterday as the ratio of photographers to model had increased. And there are more hands and arms and heads that block the camera.

But still ok la... can shoot some also lo... so share with you all what I've got:

Tamron as starter

Playing with hair

Wishing upon the sky

Sweeeeeeeeet smile

This is from "Digi Cabi" booth... Too crowded to see booth name yesterday

The other girl from Digi Cabi
This booth was VERY crowded yesterday... Guess what... it was SUPER crowded today... Maybe as I said earlier... Today more buaya... so walk pass that booth also hard.
And something special today... There are more models...
When I was about to leave... pass through the Nikonian Academy booth... and saw 2 leng lui posing there... No wait lo... Shoot shoot shoot...

A pretty girl from Nikonian Academy booth

I was wondering why they asked the girls to wear such thick and hot jackets... Poor them... I guess they sweat a lot...
And lastly, a girl promoting for DigiColor...

Hope you all enjoyed the report... (",)

KLPF 20090815 @ Midvalley

Went to Midvalley today for Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival. I was intended to go there to shoot some models in the Model Shoot session. Already prepared for the crowd before I reach there... But it was a lot more than what I expected.



But at least... I've got a shot...


Anyway, this is not what I want to shoot... Without wasting time shooting object from very far, I walked around... and got some of the below:


This girl a bit cocky before I approach her... But when I asked to take her photo, she's quite ok... and looks quite elegant... I like the feel...
So morale of the story: Don't judge a model by her look... you'll get different result from every aspects...

As I walked towards the end of the hall, I saw a bunch of photographers keep flashing at 1 booth... So I also go there and see what's so interesting...
And I guess that was the most famous booth of all...
With two girls (I guess is Thai girl) wearing a tied up shirt exposing part of their bra, most of the guys leave nose bleed... Hahaha

"I miss him..."

She looks so sad...

The other girl at the same booth

The tatoo is so sharp... (Although temporary but nice)
Inside the hall, there are a lot of Photo Societies pulling members, but I didn't join any of them... I believe online forums like Photokaki and Alphanatics had more than enough information that I needed to improve. Cheers to all the members!
ShaShinKi has a booth there also selling some accessories and promoting their website. I knew about their website when Tuck Hoh told me when I just started to venture into photography...
I didn't really survey for the prices of accessories... because I scare later hand will feel itchy... Haha
Already spent for my lens before I went to Ipoh for model shooting... So absolutely not going to spend more this time...
As I passed by the Tamron booth, I took a few shots of the model there...

This girl pose a lot with the pole

Tamron Tamron
There were a booth selling big Epson poster printing machines... The photo printed in such a big size is really nice...
Maybe one day I will print one of my work in that size... Hehe
That's all I can share for KLPF... There are still 1 day on tomorrow 2009-08-16 if you still haven't visit...
