Posted by yuwono on Oct 9, '07 1:25 PM for everyone |  | Two ATM machines and hundred of people queuing... That's best describe what i saw in one fine afternoon while I'm waiting for end of fasting that day. People seems don't bother... They lined up and chit-chat.. They don't care if a kilometer away from here there's another machine available.. It's not the money that matter anymore... They want to spend the whole afternoon here with their best buddy...

Posted by yuwono on Feb 16, '07 1:05 PM for everyone | | Usually, while my wife taking our son to school, I spend my time in bed, enjoying lazy Saturday morning. But this time, I joined them. So my wife showed me her favorite eating place, while we were waiting the school over. Yes, its Indian cuisine, at Tekka Market, Little India.
Pardon me for shake and blur... still learning to tamed this camera.

This is my first street photography. Actually I'm not ready yet to take such challenging job. But, when my wife asked me to company her to go this place, I decided to bring my camera along. With wife and kid beside me, somehow, I can take snapshots with ease. I don't know, what will be their reaction when I shot alone.
The market was originally known as Kandang Kerbau (or just KK), Malay for "buffalo pens", referring to the slaughterhouses operating in the area until the 1920s, and the name still lives on in the nearby Kandang Kerbau Women's and Children's Hospital. In Hokkien, the market was known as Tek Kia Kha, literally meaning "foot of the small bamboos", as bamboo plants once grew on the banks of the Rochor Canal. This was adapted into the popular name Tekka Pasar (笛卡巴刹), where pasar is Malay for "market".
