why both of u spam wit old pic??

lol... pic yummy but itz not in reality... still remember itz not nice... hahaha...    guess i cant join the group edi since i dun have 18-55 anymore... 
  u r damn sensitive wit my words ah, guek... 

hey guys...need some help here. just some background here, i've used a d90, 50D and also compact cameras before. I also know all the common photography terms already.

now here's the dilemma. I've been asked to be the photographer for my skool's charity dinner event which will be held in sunway hotel. that probably means, very low light + orange lights.
the thing is, the only gear that i'm provided is just a nikon d60 with 18-55mm lens and NO external flash.

so any quick tip/crash course so that i can get at least some usable shots? any ways to diffuse the pop-up flash and etc?

what would you guys do in such situations?

tbh with u guys....the thing "good skills + no gear" applies here.

i was thinking manual K WB. that would solve the tungsten problem.

the other prob is, shortie lens, 55mm and i'm left with f/5.6.

speedlight not available. haihhh...pop-up flash only lights foreground. bg all left in the dark.

iso performance of D60 also =.= mannn...this is hard

can't join u guys on tat day... not in msia... u guys enjoy... =)
