KL Marathon - just a quick take

I wonder if these marathoners wake up as early as 4am each day to train. Understand that weas the time the race started. I did not bother as I thought it was more meaningful to have some shots taken with the KLCC Petronas Twin Towers in the background.

Here's one pix taken using my point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix. Waving at me is Edward.

How was this taken? Camera on the ground!

Mr Kuala Lumpur

This is not the one. Someone beat him to it. I had to leave before the winner was picked. Well, with luck and maybe quite a bit of work, will be back next year for the full coverage.

If you were at the competition site, you will realise that it is not easy to sculpt a body. With the many 'mamak stalls' that open 24 hours, it is rather difficult not to over-indulge in tons of carbohydrates and of course the often too-sweet tea that comes with your order of roti canai.

This is a sampling of the contestants before they appear and when competing on stage.

Just cannot image myself being a body builder, or as one senior body builder Mr Henry Lim puts in his card, "turn your body into a fat burning machine" - machine they look!

Last but not least, a very pretty lass who is also a body builder. Won't you like to see her ripling muscles. Did not quite get her name. Kimberly, I think. The secretary of the Kuala Lumpur Body Building Federation, Mr Vincent Ho in the picture, also did not show off his muscles as he has to make sure the event runs smoothly.

Dragonboat competition at Putrajaya

Time really waits for no man. Gosh, did not realise that I had not posted anything for such a long time.

This shot was taken in the morning.The sun was hiding, and the air was kind of hazy. Nevertheless had a couple of ok shots. Thos friends of mine who will be there tomorrow, do pay for better weather.

Wedding shoot

Had a blast covering the wedding of Edwin and Debra last week. Lovely couple, and of course, lovely wedding, reception, etc, etc. Since they have not seen the photographs, will not post until later (maybe...). But since this car, a Jag, that was used as the bridal car, was one of those that I had ever thought of buying, I cannot resist posting an image. Will write a little about wedding photography later.
