Photography is......

This question has been lingering in my mind for quite some time...

What is photography?

I finally found one answer for it after meeting these group of Indonesian girls at KLCC. They asked us to help them to take a photo of them with the Twin Towers at the background. Of course, we helped them. Later, we gave them ideas how to take better photo there, like jumping shot and making funny faces, and even taught this girl in the photo how to use her camera. The best thing is she is using a Canon and all of us are using Nikon...LOL!

Anyway, here is the answer which came to my mind at that moment...

Photography is helping someone to capture one of the beautiful moments in their life. In the process of doing that, we also captured a beautiful moment in our memory.

What I forget to tell this group of girls is...
The pleasure is all mine! Thanks for the moment too.

摄影...是替别人拍下一个人生美好的时刻.

同时，我们也在心中留下一个美好的回忆。

回忆是永恆的！

I love shadow!

I have to admit now.

I love shadow...Really!

有阳光，就会有影子。

就像人生有喜也会有悲。

KL Trip

The trip was like walking the memory lane for me.

A lot of things had happened here.

Parting is sad but it is something we have to accept as part and parcel of life.

Ya. I already accepted it.

分分合合。

聚散无常。

那是人生本来就是要面对的。

我早已接受了。

KL Trip - KLCC

That night, KLCC was under our feet.

Isn't that amazing?!

We had fun there!

Insa-Dong (Korea Trip 2008)

I went to Seoul for a business trip recently. Spent 11 days there. During the weekend, I decided to explore a place which I have not been before in Seoul. So, Insa-Dong came to my mind. Exploring new places, and of course experience the local food, are what I used to do when out there during the weekend.

Insa-Dong is about 15 stations away from my hotel. It is not easy to get your way around the subway in Seoul. There are so many lines on the map with different color codes and normally I need to stand in front of the subway map for a few minutes to sort out the color of the line which I need to take and the interchange which I need to get down and the next line I need to get on and the station which I finally need to get off.

Generally, I noticed that Korean likes to have their winter coat in dark and grey color.

Hold me tight! (and you reach your destination safely)

Insa-Dong is a street which lined with dozens of art gallerises and shops selling handicrafts and antiques. The main street is called Insadong-gil. This street is full of people because no vehicular traffic is allowed on this street on the weekend.

The trees are all bald in the winter.

However, I like the shadow of the branches on the wall of shop. It is like a painting on the wall.

She is cute, isn't she?!

This was my lunch I had in Insa-Dong. The main dishes are grill Mackerel (My favorite dish!) and Kimchi-jeon or Kimchi onion pan cake. Everything on this table costs about 14,000 Korean Won (about RM77).

Good luck!

It aint heavy.

This stall spotted a long queue. It is selling something like 'ham chi peng' (Hokkien) in Penang. Probably it is nice to eat something hot in the cold weather. 700 Korean Won each.
