AFA08 and the Stupidity of One Amateurish Photographer

I ought to be executed.

I had committed a mistake so grave, that every single photographer, amateur or professional, would be laughing at me --- I forgot to charge my batteries.

And there I was, happily arriving at Suntec Convention, fishing out my DSLR, snapping away and when I saw that deadly signal (flat batt), I was out cold. I had thought it was just a technical issue, maybe the battery grip's contact wasn't so good. So I took out the grip and inserted it back and voila! ok again. But I knew things were not right when I had to do the same thing over and over again. In the end, I threw in the white flag and choose to use my mobile phone instead. Again, the same thing happen to my phone.

... Why didn't I check if the batteries are charged? Why did I assume that they can last, since I did not charge them after I came back from my Cambodia trip? Why does this have to happen to me? I was so psyched about this event. Nevertheless, here are some shots before both my camera and mobile phone died on me.
