Some time last week (I think) Zhan and I ended up at Chin Swee to take photos. It was an awesome day of shooting – the light was nice, the place was lovely and there was just a whole lot of things just crying out to be photographed. Awesome.

Not so awesome part was discovering that Zhan’s CF card got corrupted and he lost all but three of his photos that day. Horrid, horrid thing to happen.

And so, these are photos from our first trip there.

We went back there today with Alex to take more photos. Those photos will be up another day, I suppose. I much prefer my photos from the first time I was there though. Probably for a myriad of reasons.

I thank God that I had the time and company during my holidays to go on numerous photo walks. They make me quite happy. School’s started and I can already feel time slipping away more quickly than I’d like it to. This is possibly because I am getting reacquainted with the idea of homework. Yechh.

Plus, Zhan is leaving to go back to Adelaide in a little over a month. Pooey.. There goes one person I love having conversations with going away. *sad smiley face* AHAHAHAHAHAHA. (inside joke; please ignore!)

Ey. But I’m really quite sad. Ack.

I digress.

Here’s my take on Chin Swee, a place I think is really lovely and full of sights to just take in and observe. Today’s visit back was more in depth emotionally, for lack of a better word. But I’ll leave that for another day – too much unease and sadness for one day.

rustiest pair of tongs ever

one of my favourite shots from that day.
i like how the texture of the metal gates turned out in the photo

awesome old hair salon

there were more books than place to walk in the tiny store.
love the smell of books, hate the fear of silver fish crawling out!

heh heh

so sad, this place…..

It’s such a sad, melancholy night… Or day, if you will.

The homecooked meal that my wonderful twinnie the infamous Jiao Bin prepared for us Melaka zoo animals tonight was nothing short of awesome. Thanks, Twinnie. It was my bright spark of the day when you first told me of this dinner you had planned, and once again, it’s the bright spark of my day today. Love you!! Hehe.

& thanks, your holiness (bear bear if you will) for everything, really.
