Sony Skinny T roadshow in Penang

Let’s talk about last weekend. There’s a Sony Skinny T (Cybershot T77) roadshow in Gurney Plaza, being a camera enthusiast, of course I went to check it out all of the camera displaying on shelves and gets my hands on of each model. Though, it’s just for the fun because I’ve already own a camera.

Sony does always have a good exhibition area design to attract passers-by. I love everything they setup with a big stage and large LCD screen in the middle. It’s pretty.

The best part of the roadshow was not shopping for cameras and Sony products but joining the 2 games they had there for the past 3 days. Games were opened to anyone in the mall and you do not really need to buy anything or be a Sony user to join the fun.

The 2 games were, Pose with Skinny T and Smile collection. I joined the Smile collection on Friday but unfortunately, I didn’t make it. The most collected smiles was 118 on Friday and on Sunday was 134. What I got was only 70 shots of smile.

My friend Chien Chern who was the one who got 118 shots, that’s so good. The smile collection game goes like this, Sony will lend you a Cybershot camera, if you have your own will be good, then walked around the mall and ask stranger to smile for your shot in 20 minutes time. If you get over the time, you’re out and that’s happened to one of my friend.

Losers got a tiny little skinny notebook. It’s better than nothing.

There’s another game called Pose with Skinny T and that’s a little bit difficult to do so because you will need to stand still with a pose on a leg and perhaps with your arms raise high. Who can be still for the longest time will walk away with the prize too.

This game drew a lot of shoppers to look on what’s happening there. 3 of my friends were in the game and no one made it, only one, Wei Chung, he lost his balance at 41 minutes and there goes away his prize to a young girl. I’m sure it’s tired with arms raising high and one leg up for 40 minutes.

There got funny MC too. “Ahh… It’s so nice sitting in the middle of the mall.” “Do you want to sit?” “Don’t want to sit ah?”

I forgot to mention about the prize, it’s a Sony Cybershot T77, with cap, a notebook, a sling bag, a camera bag, 2GB memory stick, a aluminiun Sony bottle.
