LIMA 2009: Day 2 - Dec 1, 2009

Day 2 started as early as 8am. We woke up about 30 to 7 in the morning to get bath, prayer, and get our gears ready. We straight headed to the location after took breakfast at the hotel's cafe.

Nov 1, 2009 was official kick-off day of LIMA 2009. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was done by our beloved ex-prime minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed at Mahsuri International Exhibition Center (MIEC) at 9:10 am. Sorry, I did not upload the picture of Tun cutting the ribbon. :(.

Day 2 was something different from a day before. I changed the objective from aircraft to candid shot at MIEC and warship at Porto Malai. Here are candid while waiting for Tun for opening ceremony:













After the opening ceremony, I went to Air show again. Oh crap, the air show was so bored. It just same as the previous day. :(. This was my first time to LIMA, so I am not sure about previous years but they kept repeating the same show, made me feel bored.

In the afternoon, I was heading to Porto Malai, for a "Fleet Review for Press". The event will be started at 5pm but guess what, Navy boat was leaving me behind again. Oh shoess!! I was so frustrating. I was there as early as 4:40pm but they did not follow the original schedule which is suppose to be started at 5pm. :(.

With patient, I waited the chance if there any 2nd boat for the fleet review. After waiting for about half an hour, I can see the light at the end of tunnel. I saw Tun drove a Mitsubishi's car to Porta Malai for a Fleet Review. Yeeehaa! Ops! we were not allowed to share the boat with Tun, but at least, there another Navy's boat for Press followed behind Tun's.

Sorry again guys. I did not upload pictures taken from the fleet review session. I do not have enough time to spend on my hobby. :(. If you guys really want to see the outcome of fleet review, please do not hesitate to contact me. :). I would love to share it.
