WIP Is Closed (for now)

.200209. Work In Progress @ Bangsar Shopping Complex

If have not already know, Work In Progress Cafe/Bar in BSC is a sister company of Souled Out in Hartamas and 7atenine in Ascott Hotel. Last Friday, I was invited to shoot for their closing down revamp party and many of their loyal regulars were also invited for a free flow of food and drinks. And of course, that night was really about free flow of beer and MACALLAN whiskey. The highlight of that "Rob the House" themed party was the auction of WIP's furniture and also the full of fond memories' JUKEBOX which eventually reached RM 16,000 of the final bid.

The co-owner of WIP Fred and Michelle promised a whole new exciting concept restaurant and bar that is yet to be named. Apparently, there would be a "naming" contest up on line soon. If you are a fan of WIP, SOULED OUT or even 7ATENINE, you wouldn't want to miss a chance to win a dining session in the brand new restaurant coming up after the revamp. Stay tuned for the details though.

WIP is tentatively closed from now and when it's reopened, I'll let you all know again... Till then, here are some photos that I took that night...

Continuing from my bloggers meet up yesterday, I went for a meeting with my church YA people at Ps Lee Choo's house before heading to Taylors College for their Valentines Special Night!!

Tribute To My Camera

.150109. Nikon D300 - Welcome Home

The old has gone (but not forgotten), the new has come. It's almost unbelievable and it was a split second dream for me when firstI got my hands on my new Nikon D300 just hours ago. Finally, that dream of mine came true and went home with me was my highly anticipated camera that I bought from YL Camera shop in Pudu Plaza.

My old nikon d40 has been serving me superbly well for the past 10 months when I first picked up photography back in March 08' and it's time to move a step higher. The desire to go further and the requirement of a better quality photo prompted me to get a new body and blessings from heaven came at the perfect timing. And I mean REAL perfect timing!! =D That's how I got my new D300.

Anyway, just a tribute to my old faithful d40 that has been with me for the past 10 months, I'll just post up abit of my photos that I've taken with it high and low and across the ocean!! =D

World No 1 DJ Armin Spinning

.100109. World No 1 DJ @ ZOUK KL

And so, after just 3 hours of sleep or so, I got up 8.00 am and get ready to kick start the long day with my CLAP Training Day #2 @ SIBKL. Got up with good start preparing worship songs for the program later and brought along my white Tanglewood guitar. I was a little rusty with the chords though since I have not been playing as often as I did back in my highschool days. Anyway, worship went well though and Ps Lee Choo's teaching was superb where she touched on the topic "worship".

*final audition stop @ Impiana KLCC!!*

At 11.30am, I left church and rushed my way to Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa to finally begin my journey as one of the official bloggers for Malaysian Dreamgirl Season 2. It was the final stop of the season's audition after completing 3 in Penang, Ipoh and Johor last month. It was great to see many turned up to give themselves a shot to become the next Malaysian Dreamgirl. At least, they wanto grab this opportunity to achieve their dream of becoming a model. Updates on Malaysian Dreamgirl audition will be done in another post entry.

*moonlight shining brightly in the sky across the tip of KLCC*

*this is the highly anticipated night for music lovers, trance at least*

The entire audition including the final briefing for all successful candidates ended about 6.45pm and I rushed home to charge my flash batteries for the night's photoshoot in ZOUK KL again. This time, it was an event that features a world renowned DJ. Apparently, he is the world's no 1 DJ and he's non other than DJ Armin Van Buuren. Just less than an hour resting at home, I continued my busy schedule rushing down to Zouk KL for the highly anticipated shoot so to speak. I knew it was going to be a crazy jam packed night in Zouk's main room. That night I saw many of my friends there as well!!

*this is what i called madness in zouk kl.. there's isn't much space left to move about*

*yippie!! the dgmbians there too!! as usual.. they are pretty much everywhere..*

I was supposed to stay back till 3.00am that night though but I know I'll die if I do that coz I have to wake up the next morning at 6.00.am as I'm on PM duty in church which requires me to reach church by 7.00am and I have CLAP Training final session that day which means I'll be staying in church from 7.00am - 6.00pm. LOL!! Therefore, I left Zouk at about 1.00am to give myself a break and sufficient rest!!
