Mid Autumn Lantern Festival @ MBKS

September 21st, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in Event Coverage

Haven’t been shooting lately due to work and left this blog un-updated. So finally, there is an interesting event over at MBKS, the Kuching South Council Headquater. It stated in the title, its the Mid Autumn Lantern Festival although the official date is over but still,  its “autumn”. Anyway, didn’t shoot much photos. it was very crowded and I did not squeeze through the crowd like I usually do. Feeling kinda lazy this time. The weather was hot too, I tried not to move around and stayed in same spot.

There werre many programmes for night, drum performance, dancing, wushu and also singing. Didn’t shoot all those. I stand aside and enjoyed the show instead. A great evening to kill the time.

Martial Art Display 2008

August 24th, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Event Coverage

This is probably the last event inconjunction with month long Kuching City Day celebration. The event, Martial Art Display 2008 was held at the MBKS Hockey Stadium. It was raining heavily earlier that day but fortunate it stopped raining during the event.

The event is supported by the large crowd of taichi members both young and old. Other participants includes the ITF Taekwondo, Wushu and Silat. All demonstrated their skills and action on the field. Then followed by individual and group demonstration.

Taekwondo as expectedly demonstrated their pattern movements and also breaking techniques. As a taekwondo member myself, I do find them rather “lembik” or in english - softy. Its easy to earn a blackbelt in ITF taekwondo. You can see a member as young as 12 years old having a blackbelt.

As for some photography comments, its quite challenging to shoot fast movements. I get to try out some ideas of mine. but didn’t work out as I expected. Could have been better if its daytime.

Anyway, for more photos.. read more.
