South Korea's Kim jung-woo fights for the ball with Iraq's Younis Mahmoud (R) during their 2007 AFC Asian Cup semi-final soccer match in Kuala Lumpur July 25, 2007
I always wanted to blog bout this, but i was plain lazy didn't really find the time. The AFC Cup was held in Bukit Jalil from July 7 to 29, 2007. For the first time in its history, the competition was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Malaysia hosted group C of the games which consisted of Iran, China, Uzbekistan and Malaysia. The semifinals between Korean Republic and eventual winner Iraq was also held in Bukit Jalil. I had the privilege of covering this international event. Some of the photos can be seen here. Besides the main event, Malaysian Chinese Photojournalist Association (MCPA) organized a photography competition to find the best image captured throughout the game. The result can be seen here.
What I wanna highlight here is the winning photo and mine, consolation prize.
First Prize - Ahmad Yusni bin Mohammad Said
10 Outstanding Awards- Ching Kien Huo
Notice the similarities between the photo? That separated it from being a so so photo and a great photo. Let's hope I get more chances like this in the future.
The difference between school and life?
In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
