Petronas Dagangan Hari Raya Open House

Good day everyone!

As promised, Auntie Yan would like to share with you some photos taken during our job at Petronas Dagangan Hari Raya Open House, which was held on 26 September 2010 at Sime Darby Convention Centre, Bukit Kiara.There were about 500 kids attending, including special Petronas' guests from Rumah Nursalam. The kids were entertained with Upin & Ipin, a clown, balloons, and of course, Auntie Yan's Face Painting :)

Petronas Dagangan made a nice banner for the face painting station. If you noticed, the photos at the foot of the banner is extracted from this blog (see my Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! post). On that day, the face painting station was a huge hit among the kids.We had kids coming back for repeats despite the long queues :)



We came in early to paint the organizing committee first. For a big event like this, Auntie Yan teams up with another 2 painters - Uncle Fadhil and Fizah to address the large crowd. (Thanks team, you guys rock! ;))

The original theme requested by the organizing committee was 'Raya!Raya!Raya!'. So we had Raya antics like ketupat (the most popular), Syawal moon, stars, pelita, lemang and fireworks painted on the cheeks or hands... 

But kids  will be kids... after several rounds of Raya antics, they started to pop questions like 'Auntie, can I have Batman instead?' 'How about Spiderman?' After a short discussion with the organizing committee, they gave us the green light to paint other designs too. Afterall, the kids were too cute to let down ;)

  

Here's a tiger in the making...

 

This fine chap requested Auntie Yan to cover a mole on his face with a tiger skin pattern :D  

 

All in all, Spiderman and Tiger were very popular with the boys during the event



But there were requests for other designs too; for instance, this young man fancied being a clown

Shark was often requested to be painted on the hands... 

 The Flash and football were popular too!

 As for the girls, butterflies, flowers, rainbows and hearts are classic favourites..



Here's Kak Long (the eldest) among three lovely sisters. She was pleased with the rainbow & heart...



And then comes Kak Ngah (the middle sister),.. After seeing Kak Long's, she wanted a similar design for herself



Now, the two happy sisters encouraged the youngest one to try out the face painting... 

And guess what? she wanted the same design too! hehehe... :D

Now, the favourite of the day is (drum roll)...
