喝茶。拍照。老朋友。

最近回家乡的时候,约了两位久违不见的老朋友出来喝茶。
‘原本是红花会老大’的洪老师 - 阿 BOON 带我来到了这一间环境还不赖的咖啡厅,打着微弱的黄灯让人有一种舒服的感觉,饮料设计多也很特别。我叫了一杯"椰子香蕉Vanilla IceCream Shakes",不错!
和阿 BOON 聊了不久,清龙就来跟我们会合了。

谁也意想不到成为小学老师的阿 BOON。

聊着聊着,兴起间为阿BOON乱照了一系列的‘写真照’...

Thaipusam, Batu Caves 2008

thaipusam2008_001
Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full in the Tamil month of Thai. This year it was held at 23rd January, and I was there for my first time ever Thaipusam photo-shoot.

Advised from my friends that we better get there earlier because there will be traffic jam, and also their activities started early and we wouldn't want to miss it. So, I set my alarm clock at 4:30am, but then I couldn't sleep, dunno why, maybe because I was too scared that I will overslept... sigh~

After picked up Ashes and Wee Seng, about 6:30am we reached Batu Caves. By that time it was already full of people, both believer and photographers...

I didn't shot any Lomo on that day, mainly because I wanna concentrate on practicing my DSLR. I was abit nervous at first, but slowly it got better and I had fun, after all, it was really a good shooting experience! It was so tiring but I think it worth, and I'm sure I will be visiting again next year.

Here are some of my favorites. If you like to see more, please go HERE.
