Central Alpha Legion

On last Friday, 25/12/09, a group of alpharians head down to Putrajaya to do a sunset shoot there. Although the weather seems to be okay around 4.00pm, a sudden change where heavy downpour struck and we were forced to camped at a mamak stall in Precinct 9. Hoping the downpour won't last long, the rain stopped around 6.30pm and we have the chance to rush back to the Putrajaya Mosque to capture the sunset. Although it was not much to shoot after the rain, it was a great outing.

Some shots from the sunset shoot taken that day.

Last Friday, 18/12/2009, a group of C.A.L members planned another shooting of Bukit Tabur during sunrise. So, on 5.50am, we started our journey to climb Bukit Tabur in order to reach the top by and shoot the sunrise. Unfortunately, the weather that morning were not very impressive as it was humid and foggy. But that doesn't dampened the spirits as we managed to capture some good shots that morning. Around 8.45am, we packed our things and went to mamak for breakfast.

Here are the group shot before we left Bukit Tabur.

Salam and greetings,

This is the official post for the Family Day planned for 2010. We have had a meeting last week regarding the theme, concept and food. The outing is mainly created for alpharians and CAL members who only get to know each other from the forum and have never met face to face. We want to create a bond and good relationships between members who share the same hobby. Furthermore, not only that, those with family can also meet up and get to know other family members.

As for the food, we have decided with the fee charged, we are going for breakfast and BBQ. During the meeting, we have appointed Mr. pangaitpangait, who has really done a good job in preparing the checklist for the outing. Mr. pangaitpangait will be assisted by two other fellow alpharians, imzar69 and feruztopia (hope it's ok with you guys)

We are still looking for some volunteers for the outing. If you are interested in lending a hand, kindly pm pangaitpangait or me.. :)

Here are the details:

Date: 02/01/2010
Time: 08.00pm - 02.00pm / BBQ will be starting at 11.00am.
Place: Sg. Congkak
Fee: RM20.00 per adult / RM10.00 per child

The last day for registering your name is on the 26th of December, 2009. Kindly made the payment together during registering. Payment details will be posted here in 1-2 days..

Any other queries, kindly notify me or pangaitpangait, or any other CAL exco members.. :)

During the first meeting held for C.A.L, we have discussed and plan to have our own t-shirt. This is exclusively for C.A.L members who have registered their details. The plan to make the shirt has been voiced out not once, but a few times even before C.A.L or alphanatics were born but ideas are just ideas and it stops there. This time, we have made it possible. As the process of designing, looking for the supplier and shops to do the shirt, the outcome turned out great. It's good to have our own shirt, not to show off but to present the community to the world (hopes too high ya??).

Many thanks to pikiez for a great design that everybody likes. Many thanks to pangaitpangait for helping out to find the shop at Central Market and thanks to all the members for your patience and support.
