Playing by the walkway may not be his ultimate goal, but connecting someone with his music is the pinnacle.

Car Show

There were car shows, and some other camera exhibitions, PC fairs and all that I've been to; but for an average joe who has no budget to buy a new car/camera/PC/etc (that's me), satisfactions I had from the photowalk would be my only yardstick to decide if it was a good show.

I went for a photowalk at the recent KLIMS (Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show), and found VW had the coolest booth; it was refreshing to find an electric guitarist enjoying himself next to a Beetle Fender, just like the VW website.  Not only I got to check out the car, we even exchanged notes on his guitar and my camera.

The lightings at the site were not exactly brilliant; often under-lit and with weird mixture of colours.  It didn't help as I didn't bring a flash and were dependent entirely to whatever available lights onsite.  But of course I still managed some pretty bright shots  :)

Never mind I couldn't effort a deposit just yet, but I found my dream car!

Bye to 2013

2013 was awesome, and I look forward to an even greater 2014!

Back to root

Hainan, China

It was a 'rooting' trip when I was in Hainan visiting my father's childhood village.  Everything's back to basics, including the 100 years' old houses built with stones, and still in use.

The most stressful thing living here for me probably is to remember the chicks' names  ~_^

Maybe 'just enough' is really the key to happiness.

Sales report? Huh??

The Bubble Man

Kuala Lumpur
Leica M-E. Summicron-M 35mm

He didn't carry anything with him, just kept shooting soap bubbles by the walkway.  Didn't look like he's selling Bubble Guns.  Wonder if he's hired by the shop owner to attract customers or if he's an artist making bubble art?

All the world's a stage

...seize the day when you find the spotlight!

Have you ever thought that you might have been in the spotlight, but did not realise it and let the opportunity slipped?

The Train Station

Didn't know we have such beautiful building right here in KL.  Was playing tourist on a Sunday and wondered into the administration office of the railway station.

Across the road is the old railway station, which was replaced by the not so characteristic KL Sentral.  There's a tunnel to cross over to the other side of the road, and it's surprisingly clean and bright.

Then a security found us snapping pictures and he probably thought we could compromise the safety of the beautiful building, and he chased us away  :(
