IT SHOW 2004 - 3rd day

SniperD · 14th March 2004

okie.. I was bored... so packed my bag, took my cam and head down to Suntec around 11 plus... here's some of the sights for the 3rd day:

As i waited for the flood gates to open into the halls, noticed many who arrived early (dunno why oso, there's no EARLY BIRD freebies...

) had picked up the CT (computer Times) and did their last minute considerations

This uncle here doing his last minute comparisons. Time: 1155hrs

1200hrs - Floodgates are officially opened and the people (as usual) swarmp into the exhibition halls and to their fav booths (most to the TDK one)

Wanna know how large or crowded the place will be?

Well, concurrently, there's an Asia Food exhibition in the halls above the IT show.. so it's definitely a huge crowd today.. and tomorrow...

As mentioned, the popular TDK stall where most are forming long queues to buy the DVD-Writer... man, what persistence...

SniperD · 14th March 2004

Righto.. for some, who aint exactly here for the CPUs and hard ware stuff, they try their hands and skills at the game booth (hopefully enticing enough to make buy the Game, the Set, the Momo forceback control wheel, the whole table, maybe the flatscreens and I think the chair looks nice to go along with the whole thing

)

Ever wanted to try what it feels like to control a Mech warrior... well, this Xbox game's pretty cool but then again, you need that drool-factor dual joysticks console.... very interactive play and really, if you create a small cockpit out of maybe, styrofoamboxes? hey! you are a Mech Commander. now you just need to get your hands on that console.....

The art of promoting something... visual gags....

Here's another one... back to the seventies....

SniperD · 14th March 2004

Hey hey! what do you know... it's EASTGEAR

okie, this was taken like 3 mins after entrance into the exhibition... so dun be fooled by appearance that it will remain empty like this..

Yeah... it was quite crowded but din have much of a walking space to take a wider shot and with people jostling and bumming around, can't take a decent long exposure shot oso... you get the idea

Product features... I love product features.. so does he...judging from the way he was sniggering that he had a tele on that Olympus.. probably aiming at the Casio Exslim ladies opposite

I WANT A MAC!!!!

SniperD · 14th March 2004

Of coz as mentioned of the art of promotion, you need not have visual gags but some visuals will do fine.. very fine indeed....

well.. that's all from me coz I can't tahan anymore having to squeeze around with the crowdand collecting tonnes of flyings asking me to buy printers/ insurance/ computer systems/ cameras/ CPUs/ moniters...etc so together with FunkSoulLava, left the busy scene for some quiet streetshoot...

SniperD · 14th March 2004

I found it strange too! Was there for about 2 hours and guessed what? I didn't even seen a single bust of flash

Ah Pao · 14th March 2004

Far too crowded to do any shooting. Plenty of people jostling here and there.
Also, it seems that the models are not posing to be shot...most are busy giving out flyers.

But the Canon EOS 1D MkII definitely was sexy...even though it's behind the glass cabinet...

Okie...sorry...Canon user here...but the D70 is very tempting too...

My fav is the escalator shot

It really conveys the mass movement and the folks below makes it a jam pack.

Today was mad horrible. My tongue is dangling out after the whole thing ended. So many people asking for Ipods and Imacs. Lucky we had a huge sales team. Damn I bit my tongue again

Bought it from MI @ Funan (5th floor apple centre)... didn't get it from the IT fair if that's what you're asking.

The service there is top notched. Ask for a Yiting, she's friendly and always willing to talk.

She has a set of nice and neat teeth =p

Apple Centre stores always have nicer staff be it attitude or looks. Had fun talking to them after the whole thing was over.
