This was a walk-a-bout that I had last year, October to be exact, that’s exactly 1 year! Haha… With a few photography buddies of mine, we walked from Little India to Khoo Kongsi, to Masjid Kapitan Keling, to Kimberly Street, to… well, basically, we went everywhere!

So, come on, enjoy the photos that I’ve taken, and view these pictures through my own viewfinder…

Also, if you like the series, please do rate it at the end of the page. Thanks!

The Penang International Floral Festival was held on the month of December of 2008. Strange to me is that, in 1 year, there was 2 of them was held. I thought it was an annual thing but as I’ve posted before, there was a similar event during the middle of the year. But this time, the event was much bigger and was much publicized. As for the flowers, the varieties are there and the main attraction was the tram ride which unfortunately, I wasn’t able to ride on them due to the long queues! It was a hot day and there were lots of visitors but that does not stop me from taking pictures!

Need to warn you though… this post has a lot of pictures!

Just a small number of pictures for this posting. I took a walk around Campbell Street and then to the Khoo Kongsi and have taken a few pictures. This event was held right around Chinese New Year time, I forgot what was the precise date because it has been almost 7 months.

Below are the pictures taken in Khoo Kongsi…

Below are the pictures taken in Cheah Kongsi…

This is the January edition. Didn’t take much photos because I was quite late when I arrived there… Enjoy the pics!

She’s a Jazz singer from Brazil. She’s got a powerful and sultry voice. I get the feeling of like erm, Brazilian party when she sang! Haha…

These kids were “kidnapped” by a friend photographer. They were all made up to stand on the blue backdrop and man, working with people, it’s hard, but working with kids, it’s even harder! But what I like about kids is that they have the purest of emotions. They were not made up. It’s straight out from the heart. If they are happy, it’s happy face, if it is sad, then they don’t want to have any pictures taken at all! Haha… These kids are just adorable…

This was the last installment of Little Penang Street Market for the year 2008. This time we’ve got the world number 1 squash player, Nicole David! She’s very humble and she looks very happy! Haha… Anyway, here’s just a few of the performances that I’ve captured. Enjoy…

This was as I’ve written as the subject, taken last year (shame). I suppose this was a non-competitive event. I don’t remember much about this, and I am not sure if there’s any prizes involved in this event or not. But I do remember one thing, I didn’t know that Malaysians can do these extreme sports. I can only see them on the TV. Call me ignorant, but, this is the first time that I’ve seen this live and it’s awesome. What really became the highlight of this extreme games event was this 1 Japanese kid, 10-ish years old and what he does was amazing! Well, enough of babbling, enjoy the pics…

This is the Japanese kid that I’ve talked about earlier and some of his actions. Ain’t he cool or what?!

Hope you enjoy them! Will post more in the coming days…

Took a trip there with my photographer buddies late last year.

I don’t know what I should write up for this. No idea at all… anyways, just some of the photos that I took during the visit. This trip was sort of impromptu. Nothing was greatly planned but still, we get to enjoy ourselves with the fresh air and some photo shoots. It was like a nature walk, lots of trees and flowers. Lots of people too as it was in the weekend.

Enough of meaningless talks… Enjoy the pictures. Comments are welcome, as usual…

This is me! Oh… my shadow to be exact. I know I know… even if it does not really show the size, it is still fat. Sigh…

1 of my shooting buddies…

Showcase of modified cars and as well as supercars! This will be the first segment and it shows only cars!

This segment is specially dedicated to Hello Kitty fans! This owner of the car is very creative in turning his car into a uniquely Hello Kitty Mobile! Have to see to believe.

Now, this segment will be none other than the beauty queens themselves!

OK, not a great deal of pictures because apparently, I need to have photograph pass to take pictures of them, which I don’t have. Lucky me, still able to snap a couple of pics and I need to thank these girls for their wonderful smiles and poses!

Next will be the models for products!

OK, photographing this girl was very hard. There were more than 20 – 30 photographers at one go just for 1 model. So, everybody was scrambling for the best angle. I manage to squeeze in, which you can see, not the best but nonetheless, I manage to participate as well. But as you can see as well, not much poses because the other photographers were getting a little bit rowdy at the end. She was feeling rather awkward at that time.

This next segment, same situation, but less rowdy. Light was a bit low at that time. She’s got a sweet face and nice dimple to accompany with the smile! Sweet~!

To sign off… below are 2 pictures which I took before going home. Nice sky…

I will be there again in 2009!

Another edition of the Little Penang Street Market that was held in October.

Baby Carry Fashion Show. First time ever that I’ve seen this kind of fashion show. Very entertaining. The moms and dads are doing all the work but let’s not forget about the babies! Some of them were so tired, they just… sleep!

These kids are really enjoying themselves…

Cool mum!

Great blue sky. I can’t help myself but to take a snap shot.

Author of the “March 8. The day Malaysia woke up”. He is one of Singapore’s TV celebrity. You guys should get this book and read. It’s very informative.

There you go… Another edition of the Little Penang Street Market…

We are already in the year 2009 and yet… this is just the September 2008 series of the Little Penang Street Market shoots that I can manage to post.

Let’s get it started already!

She’s a salsa dancer, very graceful and yet powerful! She’s got the move and definitely got the hips to salsa! You have gotta be there to see her moves. She will mesmerize you in all her moves and her partner is as equally great.

Even when she’s not making any salsa moves, she’s still hot!

She’s trying to get some audiences to participate in a short course on salsa dancing…

Still trying…

And she got a few!

One of the participants… and a very cute one at that…

Showing some moves and telling them you need to move you hips!

Participants were having a good time and as well as hard times moving the hips…

She’s happy that everyone does great and most important of all, everyone had a great time!

A guitar maestro, Sam!

I was in for a huge surprise on that edition of Little Penang Street Market because I am a fan of Paul Ponnudurai and never would I have imagine that he’s got a brother and he’s playing right in front of me! I knew then that Sam would be doing a great show for the audiences there and I wasn’t disappointed at all! Anyone who’s wondering who is Paul Ponnudurai, he’s currently based in Singapore and does plays in Harry’s Bar in Esplanade Singapore. I’ve been there a couple of years back and seen him play and I was hooked! Everytime that I make a trip to Singapore, I will always drop by Harry’s Bar and order a couple of pints of beer and will listen to his great songs. He sings Blues, Jazz and Country and what I loved most is the way that he “spoils” the song with his own rendition mix. You can catch some of his music in YouTube.

Back to Sam, he makes me rekindle my great memories when I was in Singapore. Thanks a billion Sam!

Candid shots of a baby crawling! He had a good time, just like I had mine.

The brother tries to help him up but…

More to come for the rest of Little Penang Street Market series…
