Artistry: Global Art of Mixing

2nd October



The final Artistry event for 2009 was held at Quattro, Avenue K. Although the venue was smaller than the previous one in Bukit Kiara, this time it's more special for me coz I'm here as an Official Photographer. Yeah baby....


As always, Artistry is about mixing together beautiful people, great music, amazing party and of course, Hennessy...






As the Official Photographer, I get to take unlimited pictures of the beautiful girls; all in the name of work...














Our host for the evening...


The main highlights for Artistry are the artiste that performed during each event. Before the show started, the crowd had already gathered in front of the stage. I only managed to squeeze in at the right side of the stage, getting all sideways shots of the performers..

Up first is Hsiao Hung Jen. He may be a newcomer from Taiwan but he is quite impressive; having worked with some big names in Taiwan such as F.I.R.'s guitarist/keyboardist Ian Chen and pop prince Jay Chou.






Next was Paul Freeman. Another unknown for me but after watching him played live, I believed the story that the legendary Clive Davis signed him on the strength of his demo EP and a transcendent live audition. This guy has so much energy on stage..






"I want my money back.... I want my money back...." the adorable Lenka..






Main act for the night: Boys Like Girls


Despite some technical problems with the mike and the sound system, the boys braved on and put on one heck of a show..


Bryan having a drink midway through the set.. the crowd was so worked up one of them asked for his glass after he was done...


Midway during the last song "Great Escape", Martin made his way up to the DJ deck and proceeded to do a crowd surf..

PS: Heard 1 unlucky photographer had his flash hotshoe broken when Martin landed on it...

Track Day

27th Sept

Another track day event at Sepang.

As usual, shoot some superbikes during the morning session while training for the up-coming MotoGP.







In the afternoon, the sun was blazing hot so decided to hang around the pit area instead.

Moon Shine

26th Sept

Had a casual potrait session with the lovely Ms. Ainura Moon Shine at the Sony Style in The Curve, Mutiara Damansara.

Together with a few other Alpha users, it was a fun afternoon indeed...

Super Import Nights

20th Sept

Made a trip down to Singapore for the Super Imports Nights during the Raya weekends.
SIN is an annual event that features tuned cars, performance parts, ICE equipments, body styling and everything else about cars. And of course the Import Models...

We arrived at the Singapore Expo early in the morning to avoid the crowd. This turned out to be a good move as the Import Models were not out yet and with minimal visitors, we had enough time and space to go around the venue to take pictures of the cars.

Here you have some common Jap performance models...

S2000...


RX-8...


350Z...


Evo...


WRX...


GTR-35...


And you have some European models in the mix..

Lotus...


Lambo...


And then you have some very unusual looking cars. This is actually a mutated Myvi....


Police car on steroids. Imagine this monster pulling you over.......






or this...


Providing some entertainment to your fellow motorist...




And some took it to another level..






Besides the cars, there were drift demo outside the expo hall. Unfortunately, I was too busy checking out the other sights and I missed their performance.


Subaru had their stunt team there as well, offering rides to the public. Check out the girl in the rear seat..


I registered to take a ride and was joined by 3 babes from the SIN Model Search competition..


The stunt driver doing his thing..


and the girls hanging on for dear life...


And what kind of car show would this be without the girls?














Besides the Singaporean girls, they were also models from Taiwan...






from Thailand...


and from USA, KT Soo. She was so popular that everytime she appears, riot broke out in the expo hall..


And to drive the guys even crazier, the organizer throws in a bikini babe search..






But my personal fav. for the day are the Hankook girls..








And here's me and them doing the Wonder Girls dance song "Nobody"...
