Street Photographing @ KL China Town's Flee Market

22.04.2014 Camera Time
Location: KL Flee Market
Camera: Fujifilm Finepix X100
Thoughts: Not easy to photography here, just snaps using pre-settings of the X100. Street photographing people in "rough places" is never a good idea, if you are not careful, really bad things can happen to you and your gears! One such place in KL is at KL China Town's morning flee market. 7am is the best time with a big crowd, sneaking in with camera shots still not easy but the element of excitement is there! 

七情上脸 Impassioned
沉澱在街头上 Seasoned on the streets
无言的结局
没有保修的購買 Warranty-less Purchase
头 Heads
吉隆坡候街一片 A slice of backstreet of KL
应该有他自己的那一套 He must have lots of tricks up his sleeve
交易 Transaction
能屈能伸 Resilient
杂货 What ever
买鸡佬 Chicken mongers
虎视眈眈 Eyeing every move
岁月的流逝 Passage of time
科学女怪人就快诞生 Creating the Franken-Woman
一点点的伤感 A little bit sadness
光在捉弄我 Light is playing tricks on me
真人木偶 Slice of Street life
家长要给孩子温柔谈何容易 Reality Sinks In
他说他是六六,但不相信我是六四 He said he is 1966

Back to visit Primary School @ 南开学小 Nak Kai SJK (C) in KL

02.04.2014 Camera Times
@ 南开学小 Nak Kai SJK (C) in KL (click here to Google Map)
Persiaran Raja Chulan, Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur
GPS Location: 3°08'47.6"N 101°42'19.3"E
Website: http://nankai.sjkc.com.my/
Camera: Olympus OMD EM5
Lens: m.zuiko 60mm f2.8
Thoughts: It is more than 40 years ago that I have spent 6 years of child hood here; still vividly remember the bas sekolah, the friends perhaps long forgotten, the class rooms from ground to 3rd floor until standard 6 and its canteen where a bowl of noodle was rm$0.20! 
A little emotional walking into the school compound and meeting the current headmistress who we talked for awhile and she allowed me to quietly take some photos in the school field. 
Sparingly, I did some color but mostly black & white shots of the school and the school childrens in a P.E. class. Does brought back lots of memories! 

看到这一目, 突然间有泪湿了目光的感觉 A scene I dearly missed for 40 years
马来西亚华校的坚持都是有血有泪的 Perseverance in Chinese Education
还记得,六年级就在三楼最右角的那间教室 Classrooms I never forget
离开前, 在这新建礼堂的窗口隐隐约约的看到旧校的面孔 A glimpse of the old building still standing tall next to the new building hall
离开校门前,转身看见这一幕,好想回到童年 How I wish to go back in time
说实在的,相机按快门键时,心里有很大的感触 A sense of belonging when I hit the shutter of the camera
心里的那一句话, 我来自‘南开’ I am too from Nan Kai
华校的子女, 要自强不息 Our children, be Strong
教师职业的美,用心方能体会 The beauty of teaching lies in the heart of giving
享受童年的友情吧 Enjoy your childhood friendship
校长说以后有机会来拍学生写照,一定要拍彩色版本的 The Head Master told me when opportunity arises, she will invite me to do some student activities but must be in Color
看了这位老师的用心,也是身为教师的我自愧不如 As a teacher myself, I am humbled to see his patience
回想四十多年前走过的走廊 It has been 40 years since I walked this passage way
回到母校 Returning to my Almar Mater
