Dusk

I was sitting at the balcony outside my room, while looking at the orange color sky. The most comfortable time for me is during the dusk, after a day of hard work this is the best time to relax and clear my mind.


Shooting at the soft ray of sunlight


what a nice evening.


See you tomorrow Mr Sun


Going Home...

What's the best time of your day?

Serian Market

On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, my family and I went to Serian, Kuching to visit mom’s brother. We all went to the Serian market to purchase some food for dinner. The market was crowded by people, I never thought that on the fifth day of CNY people would start working, they suppose to rest at home enjoying the new year holiday.

Since I came to Kuching I had never step into the market before. That day make me think back the time when I always force by my mom to drive her to the market, and to help her carry the things that she bought (what to do, since I don’t have any sister).

There are many stalls at the market, selling vegetable, fruits, drinks, cakes, and some of the thing that I even don’t know the name. According to my uncle, most of them stay in a very remote mountain village. They have their own land, and plant their own crops, don’t judge them from the outside as some of them are very rich people. As usual, I took a lot of photos that day. Some of the aunties are very shy, when I wanted to take their photo, they hurry and cover their face off...so cute.

This is a guy that sell medicine made from Sea Horse. He looks very spooky, he did help one of his customers cure her neck pain. First he hold some water in the mouth, then he spray the water on the lady’s back neck. All of a sudden, the water at the neck turns into red color, red like blood. Yiaks...I think this is some king of black magic, to cheat people money. Is disgusting...

The green hill temple 青山岩

My previous visit to the temple is here

On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, the weather was cloudy. I bring my parent to The Green Hill Temple to pray. It is a temple that situated on top of a mountain; of course there is stairway for people to walk to the temple. My father told me that, during his time there where no road to the temple, they need to use a boat to reach to the temple. Today there are good tarmac road build for people from Kuching town all the way to the temple. And because of Chinese New Year, the place was crowded by people. Just we reach the temple, it starts to rain. All of a sudden, the temple was pack with people. My parent went to pray, while my brother and I went to take a couple of shots.

After my parent finish praying, we went to eat some vegetarian noodles that prepared by the temple. The noodle was nice, but I only manage to get a small portion of the noodle, cause there are too many people. The rain had stop after we finish our noodles, then I helped my mom and dad took a few shots, my dad was holding my mom’s hand…how sweet. I don’t usually see my dad do this in front of his kids, but I can tell the older my folks get, they love each other more. By the time we left the temple, again the rain start to pouring heavily. But there are still people keep on coming, all heading to the temple to pray. Dad was holding mom hand all the way to the car, aw~~I’m glad and happy to see that. 拜的神多，自有神保佑。
