MATTA Fair and KL International Tattoo 7/9 to 9/9

Since knowing Ann, i seemed to go to so many places that i never being before. Yesterday, i went with Ann to MATTA Fair which was held at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) from 7th to 9th September, 2007. Ann and myself was there at 9.45am...hoping to be able to catch media...hahahah and also to avoid the jam. It was really one experience for me as i seldom go to this type of places...one thing is no one accompany me, another thing is i am road blind...can never find the way to go to places that i never being before. It was here and from her, i learned how i don't have to buy any tickets to go in or how to get into the fair without much hassle. As usual i was Ann's camera woman there....taking pictures here and there. While i was there, i also checked on the Egypt tour as Khoo, her friends and myself are planning to go there for holidays in October. Wow....also while there, i learned that you can pay installment for trips to Bali or Pangkor.....it is only M$3 per day...and for 12 months.

MATTA - MITM Fair 2007 is organised by the Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents (MATTA) & Malaysian International Travel mart (MITM) with major wholesalers/retailers, airlines, hotels and NTO’s in Kuala Lumpur. This is a well known premier travel fair in Malaysia.

The aim of the event is to provide consumers with a host of exciting and value for money travel options, excellent business and travel opportunities as well as exposure to worldwide travel. This event is also envisaged to highlight the vital role and convergence of information, communication ad e-commerce technology in the travel industry.





We were at MATTA fair until 1pm, then left to Subang to pick up Ann's banner for her car. After that we rushed down to KL, Merdeka Stadium again for the KL International Tattoo show. All the time i thought the tattoo is the tatoo - a bodyart and body piercing....so was surprised when reaching there and was told by ann it was army affairs. Ann really laughed at me at that night. We went to watch the event on 7/9 and 9/9 (closing day).


It is presented by The Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, in conjunction with our 50th Independence Anniversary. There are altogether 12 countries who joined the event.

There are also zapin and joget. In terms of musical instruments, there are violins and an acoustic guitar. It’s a truly eclectic mix with an across-the-board appeal, especially when you have members of the Royal Thai Army Band swaying their hips ever so gracefully while the band played. This really awake me...as i was dozing off already...hahaha
