Pet Festival 2010 in Penang, Malaysia - LOTS & LOTS of PIX

[Azazel]

Hi guys,

After about a month from the International Pet Expo in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (as can be seen in this link - First Expo), we went for another expo up north in Penang, Malaysia. Below are some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

The penthouse we stayed in was really huge. This is the first path leading to our bedrooms. There's another that I didn't photograph.

Our main hanging out hall

The seaview of Penang Port from the balcony

Penang Times Square - the venue

This was where the expo was held. Unlike the first expo, this time it's an outdoor event.

The programmes.

Setting up our table.

And just like in previous expo, people started to become curious and approached us.

Some of the earlier crowd that came and bought from us

Alrighty! Here are more pictures aight

Crowd building up.

That oldman stood in front of our booth and browse our geckos for hours as if he was going to eat them LOL!

Our over-rated leo Bible .

My friend in action to poison that blue shirt kid.

One of our HG Tangerines.

Baby Diablo.

That's me. I was trying to poison that lady to venture into levis. It didn't work though. Hahaha

Another happy visitor .

Corny marketing strategy LOL!

More?

 

[Tony C]

What do you think? :main_thumbsup:

What do you think? :main_thumbsup:

Good one LOL!

Here are more:

The lady in yellow was our organiser - Amanda.

There were horses...

And tall scary looking clowns too LOL!

Nice eh? LOL!

One of not so common sight in Penang. People over there keep macaques for pets. Go figure

A Japanese advert bunting.

Our acrylic tag.

We took a break and had a durian feast. It's the king of fruit that many Westerners despise...but we love them LOTS. The one that we had was the "red prawn" variety. It possesses the strongest taste. Yum! LOL!

Here's an Ember. Too bad it was too bright. So she shut her eyes .

More action from TGS to entertain the crowd.

One of the star attractions at out booth.

To be continued...

So they went from "ooooohhhhh' and "aaaahhhh" LOL!

I have no idea what they are laughing at :main_huh:

Another one bites the dust LOL!

More crowd showed up.

To be frank, I have no idea that old folks like leos so much. But I started to notice such incident since the first expo we held about more than a month ago.

Daughter said "Hey this is a cutie!". Mother just stood there awestruck by my friend's explaination...LMAO!

One pissed off resident at our booth.

The cute dog that won the 1st prize at the expo.

We had our big feast after the successful yet tiresome event.

We ordered cheesy oysters

Kam cheong crabs

Tao chew pomphret

And various other critters that I could not recall their names.

All and all it was a success. And we can't wait to participate in the upcoming future events, locally and internationally.

Thanks for viewing

TGS signing off.

[Azazel]

Thanks for sharing the great pics and stories Congrats on your success!

Noted! But that's something I missed. I haven't considered myself "successful" as of yet. Or else I would have quit my job in a heart beat. LOL!

There's a long way to go. I just hope I will always have the momentum to continue further

Great pics, and congrats on converting all those people into gecko lovers!

Glad to! I'm trying to achieve a "cult" status over here in my country. LOL!

 

[Gecko_Jay09]

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Thanks for sharing Firdaus! good thing some of our malaysian bros/sis likes lgs:main_thumbsup: before when i hear the word "malaysia" the first thing that came to my mind are those awesome Flowerhorns coz some of my friends use to import flowerhorns from Malaysia

again more power:main_thumbsup:

 

[Azazel]

Thanks Norman! Flowerhorns were the thing of the past. More and more Malaysians are starting to accept reptiles as pets (or investment) now. We are bombarding various medias at every chance we get to send the message out and create awareness in our country. We will not rest until all have been "converted". REPTILES RULE!!! LOL!
