The Bold:

Meet Encik Abang Abdul Khalid, 49. Khalid is arguably DCIM Show 2009’s MOST HARDCORE & ARDENT Visitor!

Hailing from Sibu, Sarawak, Khalid took 3 days off from work (ed: I hope it’s really 3 days as you mentioned Khalid and that your boss is not reading this!) to visit DCIM Show 2009.  Khalid found out about DCIM Show 2009 in Digital Camera Magazine about a month back and duly booked his flight and lodging in Kuala Lumpur. Khalid visited DCIM Show not for a day, not two but THREE! And stayed almost throughout the show! Khalid managed to attend most of the seminars and talks, the rest of the time he was busy shooting at the stage and other activities happening within DCIM Show and along the way being ‘poisoned’ by the new gears available and on show.

Khalid, we SALUTE you for your support! We will see you again next year for DCIM Show 2010!

Khalid, who will return for DCIM Show 2010

The Beautiful:

After 3 exciting days of competition, we’ve finally found our Angel!

Velocity Angel of the Year 2009: Felixia

Chloe - Best Pose, Charlene - Runner up, Felixia - Velocity Angel of the Year 2009, Kimberley - Body Beaitiful, Normera - Canon Photogenic

Before we post more pictures of the events, firstly, we have to apologize for the inconvenience caused, especially for visitors who planned to attend the 3 days seminar/talk/workshops. The turnout was overwhelming, we didn’t expect such a huge turnout to sign up for the talk. Unfortunately, Midvalley’s seminar room can only cater for max 40 persons, thus, first come first serve basis, registration start 30 minutes before talk.

We thank you for your patience and would like to apologize again for the inconvenience caused. Please send us your feedback to info.dcim@velocity-media.net
