Chinese Dragon Dance @ Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, Johor Bahru.

The Dragon Dance at Jalan Tanh Hiok Nee (N1.45648 E103.76373) was performed on 5th March 2011. We were there trying to capture some photos of the performance.
The show was started about 8pm and the second show was on 9.30pm. The little street was packed with peoples at every corner!

There were total of 4 Dragons that night and the first Performance was the Blue Dragon.

The Blue Dragon which was mixed with Blue, Red, Silver and White colours...

This was the most aggressive Dragon of the night!

Then follow by the some kind of Red Dragon...

My apologies that I couldn't snap a good photo of the White Furry Dragon, it was because of my built-in Flash...sorry...
So immediately after the performance of the Furry Dragon, there came the Lantern Dragon with Fireworks! These was the impressive Dragon of the night!

The Dragon with Fireworks!

The End Of the Show...

We were standing at one of the corner and cannot move around! Because there were extremely crowded and no place left for us to change location...so you can see all my photos were shooting from Only one corner! :)
My head and camera were Hit by the Dragons few times, and luckily it was still A OK. Haha!

We spent almost 3 hours along the street and too bad we miss the business hour of the IT LOO Cafe for our dinner... yeah...I was grumbling why it close so early?!

It was a GREAT show and we hope they will organize it again in next year!

The International Kite Festival 2011 @ Pasir Gudang, Johor

We visited The International Kite Festival 2011 on the Saturday morning and it was not a good weather that day...As usual, the Bukit Layang Layang (Kite Hill) (N1.47480 E103.90641) area was crowded and packed with peoples everywhere...

The Kite Museum of Bukit Layang Layang, Pasir Gudang

This time, I don't really take note on the stalls along the way, it was almost the same every year. There was a group of children that cheer up the area! I like to see those smile on their face! :)

The group of school children

We went to the field immediately and trying to catch some actions with the kites around...I believe the groups from all over the World are the same as previous year.

Country flags of all the participants

It was not a sunny day and also Not windy at all! I believe that was a bad news for all the Big Giant Kites in the field...
I managed to took some photos on the sky...during that time, most of the huge kites were lying on the field.

You can see the Big Kite every year...

The Malaysia flag

Follow by the Brotherhood of Stingrays...

Some of the Big heavy kites trying very hard to fly, but...unfortunately the wind was Not strong enough to lift them...too bad, we don't have a change to snap the Big kites too! :(

The Big Kites trying hard to lift up, but...

Suddenly the sky does not corporate enough and heavy down pour without a notice! Everyone ran like hell to find a place to hide! Except those in the field...I saw them really enjoyed dancing in the rain...haha!

Some actions on the ground...

Doesn't matter rain or shine...

I like this action!

After the rain stop, we saw a really Nice scene! Many young boys and girls suddenly ran into the field with their little kites in hand! That was Great!!

We were there for about 2 hours, then the rain started to pour again...that spoiled our moods to continue watching the beautiful kites flying...and all of them were just lying on the field...
Disappointed! We will be back again next year!

So...I just grabbed a Cold beer and observed the surrounding...

The Stage. I believe it was a dining area, but became the temporary performance area.

Suddenly I heard a nice voice from the stage, and it was the Pretty MC of the night - Ms Jojo. After her short speech, the party began!
