This is my overdue post from PC Fair. Lots of pictures! A whole bunch of us Advertlets Bloggers went actually. Including the Teng sisters, who came all the way down from Penang!

From left: Jason Ong, Joyce Teng, Povy Teng, Josh Lim (I like how my arms look big in this photo).

Brendan Lee was not there, but Brendan was there:

Of course, part of the whole draw of PC fair (besides the lower prices), are the lovely promoters and the costumes.

Other than that, there was some other stuff spotted (I know you’re here for the girls, read on first can)

Everyone was looking for a good deal. Even Buddhist monks.

There was a gold man too (it’s not a statue)

Some people were pretty anxious to get their computers set up as fast as possible.

Some were just scared of H1N1.

Most “sesat” booth at PC Fair - Delcol, a filtered water company.

Okay, now back to the girls…

Okay la, sorry that one above was a cardboard cutout. Looks damn real right though?

So back to the real ladies…

And more..

Promoters from Papago, a GPS company:

Pretty peeps from Phillips:

The Penang girls wanted a photo together

I actually asked this girl…”Er, you’re working at the Apple booth and you’re wearing a Mango shirt?”

Belkin girl has a ‘why you want to take pictures of me?’ look on her face. Cute

Golden girls from Hibikii

Let me teach you something interesting. The following are the same three girls, shot at different angles. Notice that it’s like Large, Medium, Small

But if I shoot from the lower right, notice that the girl in the center appears taller, and the petite girl, slightly taller (a bit hard to make her much taller la).

Something you might want to try to balance out heights in photos

For some reason, these two promoters from different companies wanted to take a picture with Povy. I think they thought she was a celebrity.

Sadly, this is only a demo camera.

Ladies from Epson.

Ladies from E8GE Rechargeable Batteries. I actually bought 4 AA batteries and a charger from them for RM50. Really cheap.

Avira booth had a cool rotating gear.

I think you’ll probably also want another shot of the Teng sisters, so here goes:

Also, below: I was considering buying a third party ’speedlight’ for my camera from this girl, so I tested it out on her (picture has not been retouched, the speedlight is pretty bright)

The effect is pretty stunning.

Now both of them:

I didn’t buy the speedlight eventually, most likely going to go for an original one.

Also met some people I knew there:

Herman, Senior Product Specialist from Canon (who helped me correct my Canon’s white balance!)

Ahmad Shah, VP of Marketing & Operations of Amax

The device on his neck is actually an upcoming Amax Mobile TV product. Streams at about 480 x 320, pretty good framerate.

All in all I think shifting the event to KL Convention Centre instead of the Putra World Trade centre is a welcome move.

The air circulation is better, and there’s generally more space and it’s easier to access via public transportation. I went to KLCC via LRT as I presumed the roads leading to KLCC would the jammed and parking would be hard (which it was).

Putting Maxis, TM Streamyx, Celcom & P1 within 50 metres of each other probably wasn’t the best idea.

Without going into too much detail on which staff went where, it was unfortunate to see that PC fair security had to ask some of ths staff/promoters to step back into their respective booths and not cross the line.

Speaking as a consumer, I could definitely feel the tension as those from the various competing broadband companies tried to all pitch/pass brochures at the same time. Then again, competition in broadband is good la

And PS, here’s a tip: Why use mostly guys to pitch? A feminine touch would definitely make it a lot less aggressive.

All in all, I didn’t buy much but it was a good challenge to find interesting things to shoot. A lot of my shots turned out a bit grainy due to improper lighting conditions. Better shots next time.

Lastly, this is the Epson ladies after work at the KLCC food court. They looked really hungry, but I managed to shoot a quick shot. Salute to the hardworking promoters of PC Fair!
