Marriot Putrajaya | Tuesday, December 25, 2007
" Merry merry christmassss! " wishing all a wonderful day ahead and a happy new year soon.
I sincerely apologise for the inactivity xD was experimenting with my new toy. after much advices from chris and ying wei, i set out to the eye of malaysia with my family on christmas eve, but i will leave that to much later =D
anyway, my dad decided to bring the whole family for a buffet lunch in Marriot Putrajaya to celebrate the christmas joy. making it my 2nd on-the-field practical training, since eye of malaysia was my first, i set out with the handy D40.
decorations around the hotel was not disappointing, as it nicely illuminated the surroundings of the main lobby. we proceeded on to a floor lower as there was where the buffet was held. according to the manager, four restaurants of the hotel were joint to organise this christmas feast. 
after getting our table as we had booked earlier, the family went on to get their food while i wandered for some time to get some shots. i was experimenting with one of the semi-manual function of the camera, was on aperture-priority mode before everything i took overexposes due to the lightings from the outside. therefore i settled down with shutter-priority for the whole day.
the food was great!! if its one thing that will ruin my diet, its this one. zomggggg the amount of food surrounding the place was heaven. with a combo of japanese, chinese, italian, western and each with their signature dishes, i definitely had a hard time deciding what to eat. and within moments, i was filled. *pants*
and of course they had clowns going from table to table entertaining guests, especially the kids. there were a few tables of foreigners around, each with their kids fascinated by the balloons made by the clowns.
he was willing to pose for the camera as i pointed the d40 at him.
i was rotating between eating and taking pictures most of the time, and once i spotted that the waitresses were wearing different outfits, i approached three of them and asked if i could take a shot of them.
my guess was they were surprised at first but was more than willing to pose for a picture =DD hahaha a good test of my courage to ask for a picture ei? lol.
the day was not over as the management of the hotel had events prepared to entertain the crowd. the clown whom i took a picture of earlier, went upstage to woo the crowd with a magic show.
the kids were of course mesmerized. haha. well i remember how i used to love these magic shows, and as i grew old i learnt that it was all basically eye illusions. i still love them though haha, just as an entertainment =D
desserts! xDDDD unfortunately i did not manage to try any of them, was very filled @.@
another section of the restaurant. 
whee~ i was here! hahaha xD the buffet ended at 4pm, after having our stomach filled with some good food, we finally decided to make a move. i dont think i will be having dinner anyway @.@ yes im THAT full ok haha. after footing the bill, and bidding farewell to the waiters and waitresses as they bid us farewell as we walked out, we proceeded to the car and make our way home. 
trigger happy me! =DDDD well the shots taken for the day were not all nice unfortunately, i suffer mainly due to exposure levels, as there were differences between eye of malaysia and today. for eye of malaysia, they were outdoor shots and for marriot they were indoor shots. anyway, no error no gain. haha. MERRY CHRISTMAS PPL! =)
