Chinese New Year Bazaar @ Miri

Chinese New Year is around the corner. For me, kinda exciting as this is the first time to experience the Chinese New Year vibes here. At the same time, t'was invited to go to some photo shooting at the Chinatown in Miri with a friend Eric. The bazaar was nice, with all the decorations, a giant god of fortune. The food was nice but one particular cuisine that was everywhere is the "Kuching Open Market No.30 Siew Bee". So, well, enjoy.

As soon as I parked my car, this old sign board just caught my attention.
 
All around the bazaars is decorated with Chinese lanterns like these. Fantastic.


One of the talented artist. He can put your face on paper in a jiffy.
The main tree just beside the roadside is fully decorated with Chinese lanterns.
Just practicing.
Used Photoshop to achieve the effect is available on DSLR.
 
This is one of the main deco that was under the big tree.


People just like to get all fun. Haha~

Photography Practice

 After a long time, my Sony babe is yearning for me to touch her again. Thus, I brought her along to my usual Saturday meeting. I also thinks that I need to really really brush up my long dusty, rusted skill. So, here are the photos to share. Enjoy!

Chung Hua Brass Band with Mistuo Nonami

Had a great night of music at the Dewan Suarah with the performance from the Chung Hua Brass Band. They are doing it for the first time and hopefully more to come in the future years. Here are some highlight of the night. Pardon me for the quality of the photo as my babe is cranky that night. Enjoy~
