Mid-Autumn Festival

Taking a walk down the historical Carpenter Street at this time of the year feels special. Armed with my w810, i started snapping away... at everything, anything -> not unlike a guai lo in Borneo. It's Mooncake Festival after all & being at the heart of all the festivities happenings sure is interesting -->

starting out on the journey to the west




food, food, food!
a rather clumsy attempt at capturing the moment & downing a stick of delicious cumin lamb

fancy some mochi? or was it muachi? or machi??

ice-cream: before h'aagen-dazs, there was...

dipping & twisting it just right. Had an overdose of kantong, that i almost kantoi-ed!


unidentified flying objects spotted!

a bonsai exhibition

an orchestra in the garden


catwalk under the moonlight

i wonder what's that got to do with mooncakes & lanterns? Had a hard time capturing the right shots of the models. slow shutter speed with the night mode & macro features turned on... dang.

catwalk of a different kind.... ahpek doing it the old skool way. Luv ur style, man...

bumper-to-bumper traffic

finally, a non battery-operated/electrical-powered lantern

at the other end

settling down for supper at kaki-lima stall beside the chinese opera house -> they're playing elvis' these days..

kolo-mee - kuchingnites favorite food of all time other than laksa

grand finale in the sky. another pleasant suprise... shot perfect - only after about 15 mins of countless shot attemps. timing is the key...


Just realized that i haven't got a single shot of mooncake
