\n6th September 2014: RAWR<\/a>, at 1 Mont Kiara!<\/p>\n


\nSo this place reopened, for whatever strange reason, with a renovation that I don’t understand.<\/p>\n


\nFirst up: Narmi<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nFirst emcee: Zher Peen of Fly FM.<\/p>\n


\nNext up: Talitha Tan<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nHer regular suspects.<\/p>\n


\nLong time no see Prema Yin<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nAccompanied by this speed painter.<\/p>\n


\nThe Prema I’m used to seeing with no guitar.<\/p>\n


\nAnother long-time-ago face.<\/p>\n


\nRandom stage games!<\/p>\n


\nNext emcee: Hafiz of Fly FM.<\/p>\n


\nChristian Palencia<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nYes, like he stepped out of a steamer.<\/p>\n


\nMore stage games!<\/p>\n


\nFarouque blackmail material.<\/p>\n


\nRoss Stephenson<\/b> on stage with a comedy skit. One of these two people is actually funny on stage.<\/p>\n


\nRoss teaches Talitha how to boogie!<\/p>\n


\nMagic.<\/p>\n


\nStand-up comedy was the plan. Anton Gillich<\/b> in the middle, Kavin Jay<\/b> on the right, and amnesia for me on the left.<\/p>\n


\nCan’t remember what he said…<\/p>\n


\nRay Cheong<\/b> knocks on wood.<\/p>\n


\nTravel musical history with Fazz<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nThe Minolta 70-210mm F4.0 on the full-frame modified LA-EA1 for the Sony Alpha 7S can be real handy.<\/p>\n


\nPolka-dotted keyboardist…<\/p>\n


\n…is all the rockstar.<\/p>\n


\nKevin, singing in the rain.<\/p>\n


\nI always enjoy later evening stage lighting.<\/p>\n


\nBoom! Here’s the full-frame modded Sony 16mm F2.8 pancake for some wide goodness.<\/p>\n


\nEmcee Ivan of Fly FM.<\/p>\n


\nThe fantastic Rozz<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nHer crew.<\/p>\n


\nThe lights went full on.<\/p>\n


\nThen, fireworks!<\/p>\n


\nThe bean bags in front made for good viewing.<\/p>\n


\nShe did a Rihanna medley…<\/p>\n


\n…as well as a Whitney Houston\/Aretha Franklin one.<\/p>\n


\nThe crowd dances!<\/p>\n


\nWhat a delightful sip I had from this!<\/p>\n


\nThe before-after-party.<\/p>\n


\nAt least one of them is a hilarious YouTube star.<\/p>\n


\nSince they weren’t all on stage anymore I could use the Mitakon\/Speedmaster 50mm F0.95 Dark Knight Pro lens.<\/p>\n


\nNarmi and Ahtilat, right to left.<\/p>\n


\nOnly when processing did I discover that the infrared-modded Sony Alpha NEX-5 wouldn’t focus well with mixed lighting.<\/p>\n


\nMore misfocus.<\/p>\n


\nChrispy and me.<\/p>\n


\nWai Leong cuts in from the right.<\/p>\n


\nDance again!<\/p>\n


\nThat picture of Talitha behind and above her, is probably the biggest I’ve ever had printed out.<\/p>\n


\nIt’s so big, I can’t even get perspective to make them match!<\/p>\n


\nThe original, unpublished version, from 27th May 2014<\/a>. Always interesting to see how people process black-and-white differently – the stripes are visible here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
