Putrajaya, 26 Februari 2010. Sambutan Maulidur Rasul bagi tahun 1431H diadakan di Putrajaya. Dikhabarkan sebanyak 106 buah perwakilan dari badan badan kerajaan, korporat dan juga awam terlibat dalam sambutan peringkat kebangsaan pada tahun 2010 ini. Perakan di mulakan dari Istana Kehakiman dan kemudian tamat di Dataran Putrajaya. Tapi disebabkan sampai lewat, sempat tangkap beberapa keping gambar saja. =)

Tema sambutan tahun ni “Memantap Ukhuwah, Memperkasa Ummah”.

After 2 years of their first visit to Malaysia, Mono had once again decided to meet their Malaysian fans in 2010. They came with their 5th studio album ‘Hymn To The Immortal Wind’ that had received great reviews all over the world. After touring all over the world promoting their newest album and celebrating their 10th anniversary, Mono are once again welcome by Malaysian post-rock fan (yang sudah bertambah) as they showed up in KLPAC dated 30 Jan 2010.

With almost a full house in Pentas 2, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center (KLPAC), the majestic events kick off with local post-rock band, Deepset. Deepset open with an outstanding performance. I am pretty sure they have collect more newer fans at this show. Im one of them

As Mono took the stage, the started their set by playing ‘Ashes In The Snow’. For me, it does give a welcoming mood the whole set that last about 2 hours.  After a few songs, a string quartet came out and give a deeper sound the awesome night. Nice! Towards the end, Mono were roaring with their sound and the crowd was with them. They ended with a climax ‘Everlasting Light’. No encore but it was a tastiest night. It did gave me chills for a week i guess. Wicked!

Last but not least, kudos to Soundscape Records for bringing Mono for the 2nd time in Malaysia. Do come again Mono!

Had a chance shooting for this year Chinese New Year preparation at Thean Hou Temple last few weeks. Since it was a few days before Chinese New Year celebration, the temple are pack with people who came to visit and pray. The spirit of the tiger is in the air. =) I did spend about 2 hours there and challenged myself to get a different angle from last year punya outing. Hehe. I still didn’t manage to get the  shoot that i wanted but i guess i have more satisfied photos this year. Nice! Roar!

By the way, i guess it not that late to wish Happy Chinese New Year! More prosperity and happiness this year! Till next year. Roar!

On 26 of december last year, the annual rock festival ‘Rock The World’ had marked it’s ninth year. Kudos to the organizer Fatboys Records yang tak jemu-jemu setiap tahun setup this one day festival. Hari tu lepas selesai kerja di kotaraya Melaka, penulis berkesempatan menjejakkan kaki sekali lagi di festival ‘Rock The World’. Tiba di sana kira2 pukul 8 malam. Penulis sangat2 lewat, kerana kali ini ianya dilangsungkan seawal 10 pagi? Acara kali ini berlangsung dengan 3 pentas iaitu ‘Chill Out Stage’, ‘Indie Stage’ dan ‘Main Stage’ dan khabarnya festival yang ke-9 ini menampilkan 60 band. Penat jugak lah malam tu kehulu-kehilir cari gambar di 3 buah stage. Here are the good one.

Thaipusam were celebrate each year by Tamil community here in Malaysia. It was celebrated on the full moon in the Tamil calendar (January/February).

Here in Kuala Lumpur, the event were celebrate in Batu Caves. According to statistic, Batu Caves often attracts over one million devotees and ten thousands of tourist. As in 2008, Thaipusam was declared as a public holiday and i believe the number of devotees are increasing each year including this year. Awal2 pagi pun dah ramai.

This is my third visit to Batu Caves for Thaipusam. I did skip on 2008 and 2009 because of work. There is a new route for devotees this year sbb ade flyover baru. I guess this was their new experince before they climb hundres of steps to reach the caves.

Tahun ni ‘plan’ keluar awal sebab nak cari view yang berbeza dari lawatan2 yang sebelum ni. I think i manage to get the shoot that i wanted. Nice! =)

Yeah, this my 1st entry utk engagement. agak excited jugak. hehe. This engagement bring me to one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is Malacca. Walaupun cuma majlis pertunangan, rombongan besar pihak lelaki buat aku rasa macam sedang cover majlis kenduri. Majlis yang meriah with both family changing smiles and laughter.

Zeratul or zrett is a friend of my sister. This is my 2nd time shooting her friend. And kalau ade lagi kwn2 along yang perlukan khidmat photographer, inform2 lah. Ehehe. Senang nak shoot this couple sbb dah kenal. While Lazli is a friendly guy, senang kerja. A part from that, nak ucap terima kasih pada kawan kak zrett yg sudi tolong angkat pokok bunga and bagi idea. and million thanks to both family yang tak jemu2 bergambar. hehe. and muka kak zrett yang berseri-seri tu hasil sentuhan kak pip dari http://imageconnection.blogspot.com

Thanks pada kak zrett yang jemput dan thanks jugak utk gift dari australia tu. InsyaAllah ade rezeki kita jumpa lagi tahun depan. Congrats to both Lazli and Zeratul!

Manage to spend time changing the new look for azamhashim.com. Still a slideshow approach, suit the photography theme i guess. Did have fun with the new appereance, looks and feel. Cheers for 2010!
