Kuala Lumpur International Motorshow 2006
Okay. After so many hours of photo-processing work, I finally get to actually write something about my first-time visit to Kuala Lumpur International Motorshow (KLIMS).
I chose to go there in the morning (11AM) of the first day of a total of ten days of the exhibition, because I wanted to stay ahead of everyone else. But I didn't really make it, because I woke up at 11:32AM. So, I reached my destination at around 12:45PM--with so many people there already. Without wasting a nanosecond, I went straight to the first exhibition hall to take my first picture...
(On my way there, I saw a friend of mine working as a staff member of this event.)
And here it goes. Are you ready? I'm going to show you one hell of a lot of pictures, auto and non-auto alike, and a video, that can probably bore you. Well...
Huh? What? Chicks? Patience, man...... Ahem.
Afterall, it was a car show.
Who says you can't stand up to drive when you have enough of sitting?
How about this? Sexy huh?...... *Slaps* What are you thinking?! I was talking about the car.
OK. Very good.
Me: "Hey, what are you doing? Where are you looking?"
Nissan cars... Hmm...
Oh, I love this car, man. So colorful...
... So... flowery.
But after thinking twice, I decided that it was not suitable for me...
... because of furry interior that could make me "achoom sneeze".
And my FAVORITE!
(Disclaimer: When I say "my favorite", I only mean mine. Different people might have different tastes and sexual preferences.)
Me: "Oh, smile for me, sweetie, smile for me! You are so cherubic!"
Well, obviously, this is the craziest way of aligning the speakers inside a car. You think it won't blow the passenger out of the car? At least it makes him/her go deaf.
People who drive this kind of cars sure worry that nobody knows they are listening to MY FM.
A nice bike with a cool brother. Please don't mistake him for the model for this bike!
There was nothing special about this...... thing. The label read "...torque converter". So, it was a torque converter. But what's a torque converter anyway? This is what usually happens: When a photographer sees an alien object that he/she thinks may have come from the outer space, he/she will take a picture of it without caring about the nature of the object.
Toyota Harrier U140E:
It's the shining appearance that attracted me.
"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."
"Santa FE" reminded me of Santa Clause...... Was she looking at me?
Oh, sexy sexy sexy. What do you think? The balloons at the back looked like there were lighting bulbs inside them.
The trio of GReddy.
While taking this picture, I was only interested in this lady, not the car or the product they were selling.
Ang, ang, ang, la, la, la la, la la la, Doraemon...
Again.
Going upstairs...
The art of airbrush:
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8.
8 again.
Even a bike had at least 3.
This one is nice, isn't it?
Antique car: Jaguar Mark II
Jaguar XK150
Jaguar E-Type
Aston Martin DB6
Another Jaguar?
Rolls Royce Corniche
Mercedes 600
What I thought when I looked at this car: The car doesn't look good by itself, so they use colorful spotlights to decorate it.
See! She looked at me. She looked at me!
Back-view. Once in a while we need to look from the back.
This one is real cute. No joking.
Video: The what-what-Ride. I forget the name. You need to buy something from them to play this thing. It looked like that guy on this little piece of invention was having a lot of fun.
There is no escape from her charming smile, is there?
Focus!
Guess what type of vehicle it is?
Answer is about to be revealed...
Irresistible.
3-seat car:
It looked normal in front...
... and surprised me at the back.
Oh, chubby.
It looks simple but you have no idea what it is.
It's SLR McLaren!!
Is this the last exhibition hall?
No. One more, full of best cars.
There were just too many. My camera batteries were low already and memory card had little space left.
The End!
It was around 3:30PM when I finished. I was tired and slightly starving, as I had not taken my lunch. I could eat at the cafeterias at the exhibition, but I didn't. Overall, it's quite a satisfying experience. But I missed the live airbrush demonstration. I forgot to ask the people at the airbrush booth about the times of demonstration. I got some free souvenirs too! A Honda paper bag, some brochures, and a Mercedes-Benz poster.
So, until year 2009, see you, KLIMS!

I notice that I didn't take any close-up. Please forgive me.
