It is a night to be remembered for the many football fans in Kedah – the first ever win at home in the 2010 Malaysian Super League. Though that T-Team tussling back with a heavy fight, they only managed to acquire 1 out of 4 goals being recorded tonight. Kedah won against T-Team at 3-1.

After the first goal by Azlan Ismail, one could practically feel the spirit bloomed up to a different level, something that haven’t been felt for a long time in that very home ground, Stadium Darulaman. The 2nd goal being contributed by Mohd Faizal Abu Bakar whilst the 3rd one … well .. it’s again Azlan Ismail :D

Note: There’s a mistake in the statement above. Perhaps I was updating in a sleepy state. The correct goal sequence was first by Mohd Faizal Abu Bakar. The 2nd and the 3rd goal was by Azlan Ismail. Sorry for the mistake and thank you to those who were correcting me in the comments :-)

Kedah, congratulations :-)

Just for an update, my recent session with Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah (Kedah State Development Corporation). I had 2 sessions with them, one is for the Board Of Excos, a very fast one at that. It was done at Wisma PKNK, after the board had their meeting. I used a simple shoot and go method, whereby the only contribution light would be from my hotshoe flash bounced into the ceiling *ngee*.

However, the 2nd session was done in Regency Hotel on top of Mount Jerai for the Board of Directors (BOD). I brought together 2 assistants, eman and amin. We arrive a day before to do some equipment preparations. Accidentally, the 2nd session was split into 2 parts on an adhoc request. The first one was done before the BOD stepped into the conference room outside the hotel’s main facade. There’s a single light source for this one (well, apart from the bright sunlight behind that very buildling) to lit the subjects using a loaned unit of Profoto 7b 1200Ws attached with a strip softbox (yes, I used a strip) sizing at 180x40cm from directphoto.

The second part was the actual planned shot. I used 1 SB900 and 1 SB800 attached with an umbrella, placed on both sides of the subjects’ position left and right. I used the same Profoto 7b 1200Ws attached with a strip softbox as the keylight.

I’ve got to admit it was a tiring process handling the whole session. But I guess it’s fun receiving challenges from time to time. You should try it too at times!

I think that’s about it to tell. Don’t forget to leave comments :-)

Many expected Kedah to win against Johor FC tonight at Darulaman Stadium. However, Johor FC managed to hoist a goal at the last of all minutes. Having defeated at 0-1 to Johor FC (yet another lost after Perlis) should be giving a signal or two to the coaching/management of the team of what’s what to happen in the next super league round.

Agree as most of us needed to, there’s no definite formula to steer a football team, hence it’s a team-based sport. Let alone standard operating procedure. Though that the injury list shrinks upon the start of the season (except for Ahmad Fauzi Saari, Victor Andrag, Farizal Rozali, Wan Zaim, Khyril Muhymeen, Al Hafiz and Fazliata for a card in PERR), Kedah seems to be pondering upon a positive chemistry reaction within the squad. And let’s not talk about the national jewels that came back to serve their very state – many commented that they were drowning in their own breaths.

I’m not the best person to scribe about that very match. To those who have your say upon this, please do so in the comment box. Nonetheless, what I know for sure is that Kedah has got buck up, and she has got to buck up … FAST!
