Corporate Group Photo in Kuala Lumpur

We are happy to be travelling to Kuala Lumpur to support our client’s event. For this trip, we had been tasked to provide instant on-site printing of corporate group photo for a group of about 40 business attendees. The photo of a small garden you see above is the location within Grand Millennium Hotel that we had chosen as the background of the group photo. Our team arrived early for setup and preparations prior to the photo shoot. After the shoot, our editing artist edited the photo on-site and printed the photos in 8R for all recipients.

As our team had arrived Kuala Lumpur a day earlier, we took some time to explore the iconic city centre. With the limited time we had, we managed a little shopping and some good food. Below we share some of our experiences.

Instant Roving Photography, From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur

Over the weekend, we have the pleasure to be part of a grand wedding ceremony of a wonderful couple and many amazing guests at Mandarin Oriental in Kuala Lumpur. Our Singapore crew joined our Malaysia team in the road trip from Johor. 🙂

As a member of our crew was also the driver for the trip, we had to stay a night to recoup some energy before driving back to Johor. There wasn’t a lot of time for play, but we certainly did not leave with an empty stomach. And we have some recommendations:

We stopped by a special fast food restaurant that you would not find in Singapore, while we were on our way to KL.

And finally, a beef noodles shop requires no introduction. It is already famous amongst many locals and Singaporeans. You will definitely not be disappointed. 🙂

That’s all we have for now, till the next trip, see you with amazing event photography!

Instant Print Photography for Event in Tokyo, Japan!

It has been our pleasure to be part of our client’s event in Tokyo, Japan this year! As always, we would like to share our experience that we hope would help you in planning an upcoming trip!

Airport Transfer to Shinagawa

Taxi is notoriously expensive in Tokyo. Our trip from Haneda Airport to Shinagawa, just shy of 20km, costed us ¥5000 which converts to about S$60. The return trip costed a little more at ¥5800, S$70. So if you don’t have a bunch of luggage to manage, try taking the train and save the money for a good meal.

Free Wi-Fi Hotspot in Tokyo

We would be spending most of our waking hours clicking shutter and pushing buttons in Photoshop, hence we didn’t subscribe to any mobile data package for our trip. Instead, we relied on free public Wi-Fi hotspots when we were out and about. We were surprised by the speed and availability of these hotspots, that were averaging 10mbps.

Connecting to Public Wi-Fi Hotspot

We used Travel Japan WiFi app, and you can find this in your iOS App Store or Android Play Store. As we flew with Japan Airlines for our trip, we were issued premium code for more extensive Wi-Fi hotspot coverage. The app wasn’t flawless on Android though, we had to close the app completely and re-open it each time we connect to a new hotspot. And when it still doesn’t work, we rebooted our phones and re-opened the app, which would solve the problem.

Conversing in English

We could not speak Japanese and we survived just fine. We are not going to lie that we feel alienated at times, because not only does everyone around you speaks Japanese, the signs and poster ads are in Japanese too. The locals generally understand English but would still respond to us in Japanese. Leaving us to figure their intention through facial expression or otherwise.

The Railway Map of Tokyo

Some railway stations have hard-copy of the train maps that you can pick up to keep. We have linked a high-res copy of the map for your reference. Navigating the railway routes will surely appear daunting at first, but if you’d just spend a little more time to cross reference the maps at the railway stations, you will master it very quickly.

Conclusion

Our team was really happy to have been part of a successful event. Schedule was really tight and we didn’t have too much time to travel around for sight-seeing, but we still enjoyed the trip with amazing photography. We are excited to visit Japan again!

Instant Print Photography in Langkawi, Malaysia!

I am starting this blog post by thanking our lovely client for choosing us in their annual dinner! And a big thank you for providing our team with 5-star accommodation at The Westin, Langkawi.

While it was only a night’s event, our team arrived 1 night earlier. We had planned to reach a day earlier for ample time to respond in case of delayed baggage, or malfunctioning equipment. Spare equipment was prepared but we can never be too sure, right?

In keeping ourselves fit for the event, our team had avoided street food on our first 2 days. There was not too many street food tempting us near The Westin to be honest. If you prefer to eat something outside the hotel, it’s a 10 ~ 15 mins walk to the Jetty Point. Where you will find a local food court and some fast food restaurants.

We are writing this blog post to share some essential information we have learnt in our trip.

Traveling & Taxi

Travelling around Langkawi was hassle free. Unlike some tourist destinations where taxi fares are unpredictable, Langkawi taxis have fixed fares based on the specific location and number of passengers. You could even find a rate chart outside few restaurants. No haggling of pricing was required. If you are taking a taxi from the airport, you just have to approach the counter and will be quoted based on a standard rate, paid to the counter.

Renting a Car

If you might be travelling around a lot, renting a car would make sense. Rentals are very well-priced, we were quoted RM210 for 4-day rental of a Perodua Myvi at the Langkawi Airport.

Kuah Town

On our first day, we visited Kuah Town, this was about 15 mins drive from The Westin. Taking a taxi costed us RM12, which was reasonable. Here you will find many Chinese seafood and cooked food restaurants. They are generally open air restaurants, and one that we visited surprised us with great tasting dishes. Other than that, you will find an electronic appliance store, and many shops serving the local community.

Pantai Cenang

During our short stay, this was our favourite place, which we had attributed to the liveliness of the area and the atmosphere. Crowded with tourists and wide variety of restaurants ranging from Malay food to Italian cuisines. Street stalls are selling grilled corn, fried ice-cream, Ramly burgers and Chendol. You will definitely find something that suits.

Duty Free Products

In Langkawi, you will find no shortage of shops selling chocolates, beer, cigarettes and cigars. If you are someone who likes to indulge in any of these, you are in for a treat. A can of 500ml Carlsberg is as cheap as RM2.30 and box of cigarette starts at RM2.

It has been a pleasant trip and an overseas photography job well done! We are looking to many more.
