On Queue

Who is always in a queue in PJ? Not commuters or consumers but cars. Whether it's waiting for the traffic light to turn green or waiting for the traffic jam to clear or for the driver in front to stop looking at the accident scene and move on..I always thought driving a sportscar here is such a waste. You will always be stuck in a queue, little chance of releasing the true prowess of the engine.

Lighted Birdcages

This is a cute way to 'house' lights. Taken at a cafe. The lighted birdcages were rather eye-catching.

'Sprinkle' Chicken

This is ayam percik. (I found the translation online - percik = sprinkle. Hmm..not sure how correct it is.) You are bound to see this in any pasar ramadan. Pasar ramadan or the Ramadan Bazaar is one of my favourite places of food. The variety simply excites me. The kuih-muih, lontong, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, ikan panggang, murtabak..yum yum... :)

V.S.O.P

Very Strong Old People club.. Interesting name. I hope I will be qualified for membership when I retire. I have seen many senior citizens in Europe, cycling, hiking, doing all the adventurous sports like any young people. Now I know there are strong contenders in PJ as well :)

Hot! Hot! Hot!

This was taken at a coffeeshop at Taman Paramount. In Malaysian terms, coffeeshop is not just a shop that sells coffee, but more of a many-food-under-one-roof outlet. This lady is frying Tau-fu and another ingredients for Yong-Tau-Foo. One of the popular food over here. Basically it's a dish where fish paste is err...*thinking of a better word* inserted into other ingredients like Tau-Fu, lady's finger, chili, bitter gourd etc. You eat it with sweet sauce or chili sauce.

'Cliff' Hanger

This is a condominium under construction. I had cold feet seeing the guy balancing himself between the 2 planks. There are many construction projects going on in PJ - mostly for condominiums. Foreign workers make up almost 100% of the workforce for these projects.

October Theme Day - Cemetery / Tombstones

This is my first theme day :) This is an Indian cemetery, quite different from the Chinese and Muslim cemetery in terms of the structure of the tombstones. Compared to tombstones of other religions which are simpler, the structures of these tombstone are more elaborate. I find the 'umbrella' structure quite unique, I don't know the meaning of it though. (And I didn't have the guts to go near to inspect :P)
