My friend called me and ask me do i have time to do a few fashion show shoots for his cousin on sunday. Since I don’t want to spend my time allot at home, I said yes to my friend and i went there meet a few bunch new friends. You know la this fashion world kan, you can meet berbagai jenis punya human being.

From models, to famous australian fashion designer to fashion enthusiast, to big fan of Josua Andreas and etc etc..

So here’s the 10 series of image shows hows the fashion show looks like

Urban Project by Josua Andreas

Actually I don’t know anything about Melbourne Fashion Scene. But after my friends intro me to his cousin, It seems like he already get into this business for 7 years. He even ever have a fashion show at the USA.

The Dressing room. Where Make up artists, hair dresser and models gather around.

The atmosphere inside really reminds me of those fashion runway documentary you watch on TV or youtube. The model wait for their turn to get their make-up, some of them mingle each other and also some of them just sit on the couch waiting.

Most treasure items of em all. So that the dress looks neat and proper present later during the fashion show.

Oh ya, The Fashion Designer is an Indonesian based in Melbourne, Australia. He have his own clothing shop located at Melbourne Central (just beside my apartment). Do check his funky, retro and urban style if you want to buy some clothes there.

Touch Up face.. Not photoshop touch up.

After all the make up and the clothes done. The show starts with very inspiration music like you always watch on tv.

Not those typical Runway. It’s inside the bar’s function room.

Very different way to show his latest works.
I hate the lighting condition on that day because it keeps on changing the shutter speed.

One of Josua’s latest Men’s Wear.

I have like a few pics of runway but i can’t post it everything bah on the net. A photographer have to respect the client’s work too. Well, that’s my job lar generally.
Another one..

Cute Model. So Kawaii~~

After I submit the images to him, I’ll let everyone know what magazine and the website for you to view for the public.

The Runway, the crowds.

If you all wander why there’s lots of Asian in Melbourne. I can give you the answer now. Basically, Melbourne City is like the Asians City in Australia. You see all kind of Asians everywhere with different kind of english slang too. Yup, That’s Melbourne. It’s not an ideal place for y’all to trip jadi orang putih. WAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA

Wedding Gown. I wonder how much does this cost ah?

After 15mins of fashion show (wait or more than that?). Everyone continue their drinking session, while me. I head off to the beach for a while and then head back to the city and have a nice char siew pao i bought from grocers store.

That’s Josua from behind. The one angkat tangan shows his appreciation to all his friends and fans who attend the fashion show.

That’s all from Me.

I’m back from Blogging World.

After 3 and half years stop bowling because of too busy with my college life back in Sabah and also my coach move to the peninsular.

I decide to join RMIT Tenpin Bowling Team & I never expect that i will be in the team list for Australian University Games.

For the first time, RMIT form a Tenpin Bowling Team just for this special events.

After 3 months of practice together at AMF Northcote, Greensborough Lanes and also AMF Keon Park Bowling Centre.

We’re ready to fight for gold medal. It’s RMIT’s first Tenpin Bowling Team to participate one of the most recognize Australian Sports Events for Universities around Australia.

RMIT Tenpin Bowling 2008

Every 2 weeks, we will meet and practice together in the bowling alley. Discuss what is our weakness and how should we improve it.

Before the competition, Practice at AMF Northcote Bowling Center.

What i like about RMIT Bowling Team is everyone have their own special character. I’m the obviously the quiet one, Brian the friendly American guy. Carlin the Talkative Singapore guy(i tell you he can talk nonstop!! Kalah phua chu kang). Umesh the Funny Indian Guy. Melissa the extravert Hong Kong Girl & Ryan the Australian Indian Guy who basically see something weird stuff and he’ll get excited. HAHA

Lots of universities from West Australia, Queensland and New South Wales represents, i think only 4 universities represents Victoria state. RMIT, Melbourne Uni, Monash Uni and Latrobe Uni.

Macam biasa, I didn’t talk much and make new friends, only a few. Just smile at them and i`ll go far2 away and look at them playing bowling from the meeting room.

Wah!! Since when i lift my ball that high?

There’s a team from one of the Sydney side on 2nd day are really pain in the arse. Like they never seen an Asian Guy before in their life. That was my lowest game in the competition but i manage to beat that guy to get full point for RMIT University.

3rd Day RMIT University won 5-0, 5-0 and 5-0 against Uni from Western Australia and Queensland. Same as 4th day but this time is 4-1, 3-2 (tough match against UNSW) and 5-0 uni from one of New South Wales side.

The Medal after the finals.

The last day of the tournament is the final.� We’re in the 1st position against the 2nd position for the Gold Medal.

First 5 frame, we thought that we’re gonna lose by 2-3 against the UNSW but at the last frame. Me and Melissa manage to win by 2 points and 1 points. That makes 4-1.. Really tight match.

For the first time in RMIT University Tenpin Bowling. We won the Gold Medal in the last 2 frame.

Even Carlin the captain shout happily after Melissa won by 1 point and I get a clean strike at last 2 frame, manage to catch up last-last minute and won by 2 point. Both of us is like the decider to get the gold medal.

RMIT University Tenpin Bowling Team. 2008 Gold Medalists.

At least ada nama saya jugalah on the RMIT Sports and Union list. Beside the gold Medal, Brian the friendly american guy and Carlin the talkative singaporean guy won green-gold medal (one of the most prestigious medal for Australian University Games) Brian and Carlin are the Top 2 average bowler in the tournament. Brian got 213 average and Carlin got 198 average for 9 games. While me I got 165 average and for the first time out of 100 player i got top 10 in the list.

Australian University Sport, too obvious that the Kangaroo is the mascot.

It’s my first taste of Gold Medal. Although its not a pure-gold but i’m gonna precious it like a real olympic gold medal.

I think this is the first and last RMIT Tenpin Bowling Team because Carlin & Umesh will graduate this year, Brian finish his exchange student programme and going back to California, Melissa will be busy with her final 4th year and Me will be in my final year struggling to complete my final year folio.

I hope there’s a team better that us if they really want to represent RMIT Tenpin Bowling team for next year Australian University Games at Gold Coast.

Should I join or should not? hahaha

That was quite fast..
Well, is their mistake. If they wants their client to continue doing business with them. I think will do the same thing too! haha

Thank you Blurb.

Finally, watashi no hon ga arrive-kimasu. hahaha

Forgotten Town Book

I won’t update unless i got the energy to online. ahaha

Fiesta Malaysia was held at Federation Square on the 31st August in conjunction with National Day.
Generally, Nothing much happen. More like introducing more into the ‘culture’ and also a place for M’sian Student and Expatriate wandering around and showing off their “DSLR”. Don’t worry, I didnt bring my DSLR there because i know there’s gonna be heaps of DSLR. Bah, besakan Malaysia.. DSLR atas, bawah, kiri and kanan.

I brought my RZ67 and SX-70 and shoot a few photo from it.
And again, Nothing much happen.. Paling senang mo tau macam mana jalan ceritanya.

Tgk gambarnya sejalar..

Photos from Polaroid SX-70 :

Sepak Takraw, 2 white guy join after this and they cracks me up because they juggle better than from the ‘where originally sepak takraw came from” if you know what i mean?

On the other side pula like more into traditional i used to call umban barang capat pungut back in Keningau when i was young. Ko umban itu guli/batu or whatever tinggi-tinggi then ko mesti capat-capat pungut itu remaining guli/batu or whatever on the floor. What they call ah?

Aik, tengok pula si Minah sama camera saya. I don’t think she’s looking at the camera thou. I think when i press the shutter her eyes straight away got freeze by the chemical of so called “Instant Polaroid 600film”.

The main stage, with false info for the east malaysian.

Welcome to Fiesta Malaysia in blah blah M’sia`s 51 years of Independence. Macam betul tapi inda betul bah kan. Mo tipu pun susah sebab urang putih ni cepat betul dorang percaya.

Tinggi-tinggi saya lumpat-lumpat

Ngam also lar kasi penat sikit because that time the weather sejuk babas too the max.

Photos from Mamiya Rz67 :
taken with Kodak Portra ISO400.

This time lelaki punya turn

Punya main serious dia main.

Like usual,

Checkin out on girls… Doi~~

Film separuh shoot separuh kena potong time develope,

Bollywood Dance..

Some Unknown Malaysian Singer singing RnB song with his lyrics sheet on the stage. Too detail pula i explain.

Umban barang capat pungut..

I think they just wanna chill out. Haha

And lastly, back in primary school very oh-so Famous

Lumpat Getah. I don’t know whats the proper name but i always cakap Lumpat Getah most of my friend understand what i mean.

What makes me dissapointed about the event is Instead of Promoting the Sarawak’s Iban, Melanau and Bidayuh Dance they write down as East Malaysian Dance on the screen. Oh Come on!! Just Introduce it in proper way bah. Cannot blame also lar because most of the Sabahan Native Generation got colonize by western californication and japanese culture suda. Most of them even don’t know how to dance Sumazau and also listen to the Native Speaker Music.

Well, that’s the future… KadazanDusun Language gonna extinct sooner or later wat is remain the name and also the tradition and costume.

Haishhhhh…….. I wish my father teach me my mother tongue language when i was young. The only words i know is Gunsirit. Because It’s happen to me all the time. Taik mo keluar suda ni.. Tu lah i know what the meaning is Gunsirit.
