Yin Qi's singing competition is held once in 2 years. The 5th Singing Competition was in 2008, now the 6th in 2010 in the same venue, KL Gospel Hall. There were 23 participants this time, the preliminary took 4 hours! From there, the judges selected the best 10 to go for the finals in a weeks time. It was hard to decide.

Favorite Arias Recital 030710

Pianist Elaine Pao, soloist soprano Cecilia Yap and tenor Solomon Chong put up a great show in KL Baptist Church performing various arias of different eras. The event is held for fund raising for the Sacred Music Festival in 2011. They didn't just put up a great performance, but also shared how music was suppose to meant to serve the Lord! This is officially my first time trying out on a concert event. So, lots of experimental for me...

 KL Bapsitst Church auditorium... nice, but accoustically very dry...

The very serious usher...

Malaysia's renown soprano Cecilia Yap

In the limelight... soprano Cecilia and tenor Solomon...

Pianist Elaine Pao

Another serious usher... but was way attracted by the performance..

Solomon is very amused by this 'TV production' shot...

That's all folks!

Victor & Soon Eng's Wedding 230510

My photography mate Arten & I traveled up north to Bentong to Soon Eng's old classic house. Rarely we seen a house with so many antiques that are still usable! There's even a well in the kitchen! Wow! Thereafter, we travelled back to Bandar Utama PJ to Victor's place. Victor is of the Baba & Nyonya descend and thus there's kinda lots of tradtional thing going on. Exhausting day travelling, but was enjoyable!

The corridor to Soon Eng's room... 

 Packed busy little room...

This is one of my favorite shot of the day.... 

Victor is rather blur with the sister's games... but he did well with the biscuit! 

To their new room...
