Inter Professional Bodies (IPB) Games 2012

I went down to Jesselton Point to have a "look-see" on the Inter Professional Bodies Games 2012 - Futsal Competition. I took a photo of the Suria Sabah Mall on the left of Jesselton Point. The place marked and enlarged was the balcony of the foodcourt where I took the last photo in my posting on the OKS on 26 March 2012.

The launching of the Games and the Futsal Competition was at the Suria Indoor Soccer Centre ...

... on the right of the above photo were the ticketing counters for boat rides to the nearby islands and the ferry to a much further island (Labuan). The prices were clearly displayed.

The Suria Indoor Soccer Centre ...

... at RM100 per hour in the evenings.

IPB 2012 - Futsal. The usual gang of participants; Engineers, Lawyers, Surveyors, Accountants, Doctors, and Architects.

The Surveyors have a Royal Charter? How come all the rest didn't apply for one?

The Architects seemed to have a rather abstract logo?

Last minutes tips from the player manager ...

... side-line coaching allowed.

The netting casted a shadow in the wide-angle shots; a slight zoom will avoid those netting shadows ...

... the low-light and the cheaper (smaller aperture) EF-S lens produced blurred "action" photos. Now you know why the professional sports photographers use those expensive huge and fast lenses.

Increasing the ISO and selecting shutter-priority (Tv setting) froze the action, but at a cost of the increased noise level.

Yet another goal! This photo without shutter priority; blurred but less noise.

There was a new (at least to me) cafe across the road. Wasn't this building previously an office for the Rubber Fund Board or some government linked corporation?

There was a restaurant called Sino-Thai (can the food be called "fusion"?) ...

 ... where the "three monkeys - hear, say and see no evil" were placed one on top of the other; I normally see them displayed side by side.
