Shot Our Whole Big Load @ Thaipusam Batu Cave

Will post up pics 1st before telling the story
 and the pics were Unedited~!
.
.
here the full report goes lahhh~
we were stuck in the mahai cibai traffic jam for more than 45 minutes and it was not even move
for 80meter .. 
Photobucket
.
then, we changed our direction and parked our car somewhere else
even after the nite supper "Kong Fu Chao Yin Yong"
and after some chat and washroom ...and after some walk
those the same bus was still STUCKED there

Photobucket
.
they were JALAT liao lah~~~   XD

they thought we were sort of reporters  @_@"
...and they were not camera shy at all, they had asked us to snap a few shots on them
coOL~! at least this won't happen on Chinese festival
most Chinese/mat salleh(expatriate) were camera shy or they would beat the shit out of you
once they spotted you taking their pics~!!!
Photobucket
.
damn bloody packed!
you were virtually being pushed by the flow...
so, DON't try stop at the middle
snap pics also have to be smart, pls.. stand aside nicely to do shooting ya~
Photobucket
.
this was the temple where I had spent my nite
Photobucket

the auntie was very friendly, asking Christine to go in there and sit with her.
She even helping Christine to put on some accessories to pose for the shot
actually quite a few poses with different acc. but I would just post up
one of it here...   coOL~
seldom see this happen in Chinese festival
they would usually kick your butt off and ask you not to disturb them as they
try to run their business .. sigh... on the Chinese   =.="
the below pic, even though she might mean business strategy ...but once again
a definitely brilliant way to promote her business ..BRAVO~!!!
