All eyes were on the Rave Party by the beach on Day 2 of Flipflops Beach Carnival. The rave party featured some international DJs, namely DJ Devina of Jakarta (featuring Live Singer Leeya), DJ CO2an of Australia, and DJ Davide Succi of Italy (featuring Live Guitarist Theron Welch of USA).

DJ Boyguth got the night started, entertaining the crowd despite the light rain. The downpour didn’t slow the mood, in fact, it actually boosted the party mood among the party goers! As they prepare for the night, there were some bar tournaments going on. Beer drinking competition, where most beer drank in given time, as well as fastest time clocked were contested.

Rain and mud did little to spoil the party, as the matter of fact, it seemed to have boosted the party mood. On the other hand, I had to stay dry, under the shed, as I wouldn’t want to risk my gears under the rain. I risked it once during the year end countdown concert, and that would be the last time I do so. None of my lens, nor my camera body (EOS 50D) is weather sealed.

So, here are some shots from the Rave party. It seemed happening to me, what do you think? How did you like the party?

Della 丁噹 made a trip to Malaysia, all the way from Taiwan to promote her latest album. She is best known for her powerful vocal, and amazing live performance. I was glad I had the chance to see her performing live for once! Prior to Della’s performance, we had a few of the local rock bands entertaining the crowd. The crowd turnout was very positive despite the fact that the State Election was due the following day. Political parties were gathering their pace in the final attempt to rally for votes.

The local bands featured that night include, Mystical Mirage and SLAP. Then it was followed by the gospel group from Blessed Church, who took the center stage, with their Gospel songs and dances, which was led by the famous Pastor GT Lim. Della was introduced right after Blessed Church’s performance, and boy, she heated up the night alright. Her performance lasted for about an hour or so.
