I was at Apple Switch World at Gurney Plaza

I loves attending tech related exhibition, expo and fares because at those event, you can try a lot of technology products. I am someone that like to stay at home yet like to go out also, crashing parties, attending event to join the crowds. It’s fun, seriously. I had more likely becoming an independent journalist, though I still need to workout on my writing skills.

Last weekend, there’s an event held in Gurney Plaza and that was the Switch World which was all about the Apple Computers product. I love Apple, I have a lots of iPod but I still do not own a Apple Macintosh machine yet.

What attracted me to the event was not the products at first because I am quite a Apple Centre regular visitor everytime I go to the mall. I will visit the store to play the computer but after so many years of visits, I bought nothing there. XD What it was, was the fashion show and the photography competition where there were models with Apple products on stage and again do the model shoot and send in your photos.

Actually I went there alone, but later Alvin had decided to join me. Went there right after my CCA meeting in school, and see the place was quite crowded. However, the photographers that attended the event were not as much as at the World Of EOS few weeks back. The stage was pretty small and because there’s booth set up everywhere, it’s pretty hard to move around. I still haven’t filter up the photo of the model yet, it will be up soon.

Unfortunate event happened and that was my battery runs flat after 1 hour of continuous shooting. There’s still long way to go but the battery disobeyed me. I had another spare battery with me but it’s not working, I assume it’s dead because it had went into the washing machine twice.

Well, no more photos taking, I just walked around surf the net with the showcased Mac computer and played with all the speakers by plugging in my iPod and turn the music out loud. The sales guy was looking at us (me and some friends), but he can’t do anything because they were all the demo unit what. I even login to my blogs on all of the computer for fun. Haha, at least with those computer, I can do some free advertising at public places.

The event wasn’t that big, it’s just computereverywhere for people to try out, no discount or whatsoever but as a Apple fan, I am glad that I was there. There’s little talk on how to operate a Mac computer, sometimes there’s people there to hear the talk, but sometimes, I pity the speakers because he was like talking to nobody.

After we had done with everything, I went to watch The Happenings, I would say that it’s better to watch this on the pirated DVD rather than watch in the cinema, it’s kinda boring, but it’s a new approach of movie genre, just like I Am Legend.

Note : Model photos coming soon.
