SOEM AU Design 1&2 Welcome dinner 2009

In our division, we have welcome dinner every year to welcome all the new comers. All old stuff have to pay for their meal and in return, those new comers must perform somethings to entertain us. haha...
And also there will be lucky draw session, games, and the SONY Idol, King and Queen of SONY for our design division.

And the star of the show is our MC's Micheal Jackson dance. it's awesome!

And i'm glad i has been invited to photograph the event.

It's a very tired day for me. I have to leave early to buy a hat (To follow the dress code - "Hat and Jacket") If not i dont know what kind of punishment they will give me.
Then some preparations, some shootings, and very rush eating... and i nearly collapse at the end of the day.

Here comes the photos....


Hope you all will like it.
Again, I pay my tribute for Micheal Jackson and our SOEM Design "Internal" Micheal Jackson for the stunning dance performance. haa....

Izune @ KL International AV Show 2009 - Continued

Well, here comes the 2nd episode. Refer to my last post for the begining of the story.

Usually i'll spend 2 days in visiting AV Show. as my visiting speed is slow. I'll stay quite some time in each and every room to listen to those speakers that i may not affordable in this time being. Due to time constraint, this time i can only spend 1 day, therefore i skip quite a number of exhibition items. it's too bad for me.

Anyway as a summary, i list down the exhibition floor (Which is the same for all 3 KLAV show i visited since 2007)

Lower ground: Enterence, big booth demonstration. Including the big seller booth which sell many brands of AV stuff. and Pioneer always takes LG floor

8th floor. Hotel rooms, modified into demonstration booth and listening room. Exhibitor usually tuned the room to best sound for demonstration.
you can see high end speakers, amps, players, and some special stuff demo.
some room sells Hifi CD and accessories (cables, cords, ect)

7th floor. content same as 8th floor.

3rd floor conference hall area.
Sells CDs, accessories, some hall used to demonstrate speakers and amplifiers, some sellers, TV and projectors can be found here as well. SONY usually that 3rd floor conference. this year SONY join the show as well.

Due to time limitation, i skipped many things at 7th, 8th and 3rd floor, very rush in choosing CD, and BD as well.

Now the story begins in 8th and 7th floor.

From KL International AV Show Trip 2009


This time i do see some new stuffs in the show.
from 21:9 TV, projectors to high end speakers, cables ect. it's a good show to visit.
this year there are not many new hifi speaker. Maybe the impact of the of the economy slow down cause this.

Anyway i do enjoy the show and bought 5 CDs and 2 BDs from the show. and i learn something about the interconnection cables. thanks for my colleague advise and the demonstration personal introduction. And i end up bought a QED Qunex 1 interconection cable for my sound system to replace my current pasar malan RCA cable. and the improvement is awesome.

And of course, next year... I'll be back!
