I ended the previous post with these Ranau Kadazandusun costumes, so let’s continue with the rest of the photos, shall we? ;)

*As usual, those pics of which costumes that I don’t know, it’ll be without captions! Hard to concentrate on what the emcee was saying AND take the pics lah! Something I have to concentrate on in the future! ;) *

Sabah Fest 2008: Cultural Show (Part 1)

04 May

sabahfest2008.jpgDid you guys attend the Sabah Fest Cultural Show in Magellan over the weekend? This year, I managed to go, thanks to Fara! :)

This was the first time that I felt like we were one of the press people, as both Amie and I were there taking the VIPs’ photos when they arrived alongside the other photographers, and we were also there near the stage throughout the whole show! Punya syok, I tell you! Now I understand what Louis Pang meant when he talked about the adrenalin rush when taking photos during an event! The excitement is indescribable! ;)

Okaayyy.. obviously I’m still excited from the event (even though it’s been like.. 2 days? LOL)

Now on to the pics time!

These kids looked so cute! (too bad my hand wasn’t steady when taking this shot though:()

And throughout the walkway to the ballroom, you’ll be greeted with uber cute kids and adults with traditional costumes!

This is where I was at most of the time, near the Gong group, and very near the stage. Me likey!

So stay tuned for Part 2! ;)
