26th December 2009: Rock The World 9 at Bukit Jalil! Here's the sweet-voiced Liyana Fizi. Sadly I missed Take It Slow and any possible dedications. :(


Disagree. Zahid gives everybody a big hug for coming for Rock The World 9!


Ajin those glasses are too cute man!


This is, of course, Brainhead.


Azlan & The Typewriter with a familiar Lan (formerly of MeetUncleHussain!)


And then it was time to Rock And Roll, Rock And Roll with the very infectious...


...rock-and-rocking Couple!


This is the new pop - Love Me Butch! Well no not really, they keep it real.


Stonebay keeps it locked down in the 90's.


Ridzuan of Seven Collar T-shirt shows us his favorite pick to make haunting melancholic rock with.


So who was on vocals for MeetUncleHussain then? Was it this guy...


...or this guy?


A most interesting battle ensued.

Emcee Harooooon! also told us this band used to be called Meet Saddam Hussain. Interesting.


One Buck Short on stage, and on the speakers.


Bittersweet, who also had a new vocalist. Still very much Brit!


Pesawat besar.


Bunkface ended the night past midnight.


I hope all of you who stayed past the LRT's closing time, managed to get home!

Due to heavy rain we went for a second TT session and after that, we hung about the KLCC Park.


Cheeky!


Who would have known?


Somehow I like how this turned out.


Cautiousness.


Going home.

Our initial plan was to walk past this little skater-popular area to head to Zouk. Shot with the manual focus Opteka 85mm F1.4!


But the rain came, and so we stayed within the periphery of KLCC. Also Opteka. The rest of the shots are with the Minolta 50mm F1.4.


Hot day.


What makes people decide to have a conversation out in the middle? This is one of the shots that Szetoo would've probably shot wider and closer (I used the 50mm for this.)


Alert eyes.


Then came the rain again!

Now, for some street shooting, not necessarily of the street portraiture variety!


I came, I saw.


A tribute to Cyanide & Happiness!


Shaded. (Click image for bigger version.)


farex and I ended up taking a detour through Sultan Ismail, coming to the front of Hard Rock Cafe. The Opteka 85mm F1.4 is nice to street-shoot with although I do feel like I cheated because it is tele. (Click image for bigger version.)


The target destination was Dang Wangi LRT station. (Click image for bigger version.)


Finally, the view I was looking for! Vivitar 24mm F2.0 at F2.0 because I could not set the aperture.
