Camera: LCA+
Film: Kodak 400 ISO
Flash: Coloursplash flash

These are my first few shots from my LCA+. I am truly impressed with the camera's quirks and flaws. I am not a big fan of Coloursplash flash because the colour filter is too hard on the subject, like the first picture of Kim Kim. But the contrast between the background and Kim Kim is so vivid that i am starting to love the flash.

My LCA+ is always with me now. My friends are getting a bit annoyed at me for taking photo of them. I went to the Ramadan Bazaar (a bazaar that sell all sorts of Malaysian food for people to break fast with), i looked like a tourist holding two cameras #whocares #youwillthankmelater. I dug up my first fisheye camera, found that i still have film in it from over a year ago and i completely forgot about them. I just send 3 rolls of film to the shops and i cant wait to pick them up. Its going to be a pleasant surprise! 

Happy fasting!

i want one.

"Mamachu! Stop kissing me!"

Had a very big day today, where all the girls in my family went Baju Raya (Raya clothes) shopping. Ramadan starts tomorrow where muslims fast for a month and Hari Raya (Raya Day) is an islamic celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. It usually a two day celebration where we dress in our best traditional Malaysian outfits and visit people's houses, give or receive ang poa (packets of money) and eat until we pass out.

Usually i am big on Raya shopping because i get new clothes, shoes, handbag and etc. But this time...i couldn't care less. It took me less than 5 minutes to decide what colour and style i want - Black/Baju Pahang (Different states in Malaysia have different styles of traditional outfits). I felt a little bad that i picked a morbid colour cause Raya celebrations is supposed to be about happiness, unity and forgiveness. Black is the opposite of that. So i decided to be cliche and match with my parents - Emerald Green. Best part about the day was hanging out with my niece!!! She has grown so much since the last i saw her!!! I was worried she might not recognise me but hey, she has the coolest *Mamachu! she came running to me!!! 

*Bongsu pronounced as bong-sue means youngest in Johor (a state in Malaysia, where my parents are from) slang, but the slang evolved from "sue" to "chu" like choo-choo train. Alani calls me Mamachu because im her youngest "mama" She can easily call me Aunty Kay, but i like to make things harder for her :P

In a month time, you get to see me in my Baju Raya!

Goodness, what a welcome home. I forget how hectic KL is! So lovely meeting up with the girls and just catch up over things in person. I met up with them at a burger joint in Hartamas called Buns. There are so many new cafes popping up every where! The coffee culture and boutique restaurants are coming up here in KL. I am pretty excited to check them out! The minute I got home, i dumped my suitcases and went straight to do my hair and pedicure spa. I had some time to kill while waiting for my mom to run a few errands and i somehow ended up in a Birkenstock store and...walked out with a pair of slippers. I need to get a job ASAP.  

Yoga: Headstand

My beloved mother is here, to summon me back to KL. We were supposed to take the 4 pm flight but HAHA we missed it and now waiting for the next flight out at 10 pm. About 4 hours waiting time, surprisingly i am okay with waiting. I get extremely restless when i am at one place for too long. Maybe i am growing up! My mom is keeping herself entertained by taking pictures of me (doing yoga) and uploading them on her Instagram. She takes the most honest photos ever. Pretty much what you see, is what she is seeing. Check out her Instagram here! Its mostly pictures of her food, cats, my niece, her children and me.

One Too Many on Film

Having a ladsy talk with another Michael

Sayang

Excuse my messy kitchen - i lived with 8 people and 4 of them are boys (behind is their kitchen)

Having a chat

I love all the candid shots i forced Nyssa to take of us. Nyssa is my ever loyal photographer, she is the one behind all my yoga photos #nyssaphotography, bless her! I expected the shots to come out centered but it turned out better than i thought. This guy had to be the subject of my photo taking so many times that it got to a point where he knew to just stand or sit in this case and let me do my thing. I was determined to take as many photos of him/us as possible without repetition for memory sake. We aren't going to see each other for a while :( He is on a crazy road trip in across America right now. FaceTime calls, Whatsapp messages and 15 hours time difference are our thing now.
