Youth Jam'11 - Day 1

Back to memory lane : 4 June 2011

As I mentioned I was one of the photographer for the Youth Jam'11 event. I reached Penang Times Square at 7 something in the morning. So sleepy because I slept late the night before that.

I was assigned to cover certain event but ended up I was walking around to various events. Nothing much in the morning, I don't see crowd at that time. Cheer leaders were having training at the stage area.


After that I was given a job. Taking 3 pieces of card with the word - "Saya", "" and "Cyber-shot". I have to walk around, ask people to take and I capture the photo of them. Looks so funny and mostly people rejected me. But still, got people willing to help me and posing with funny pose.

After staying a while at the cosplay area, I went down to the place somewhere near the fountain, waiting for the lion dance. It was really challenging my photographing skill because the sun came with very bright sunlight then later covered by cloud. I kept on changing my setting with the change of weather.


After that I went to accompany Ivy for lunch and I went off later on. We went to Queensbay, paying a visit to colleagues there first then we go for shopping. And we only realised that it was double pay on that day and we were having our off day. Nevermind, I don't mind that.

We went to Neway for karaoke after long time since the last time I went. Then we went to Sri Nibong for our favourite - tomyam noodles. I dropped her back to hostel after that and I joined the team, continue as a photographer.


It was the semi-final for the Youth Talent Search when I went back. It was like having concert, watching and listening to the participants' performance. Nothing much to elaborate, let the photos talk.

A very tiring day for me. Seems like the first time I went out for 16 hours, having nonstop activities with me. But I enjoy a lot in photography. Too bad I went off in between, not really many photos I captured.
