A Child on the Peak

The way up to Adam's Peak is really a challenge when the cold wind blows and the dark midnight confused our vision on our next steps.  Thousands of local people as well as tourists climbed this holy peak in order to have a head-bow on the scared footprint that believed to be the first footstep of Adam for the Christians and Muslims, Buddha for the Buddhists and Shiva for the Hindus.

The journey has to be started in the midnight in order to catch the ceremony and the magnificent sunrise. Parents have being carrying their children up to this peak despite the cold night. Children are helping the elderly to climb the stairs as well. There are around 5 thousands step before you reach the top. This particular child had been on his father's shoulders since we met them half-way on the journey up. Until the top, his father carried them effortlessly. Standing in front of them when we were queuing up for the scared moment to see the holy foot, I took a shoot on the innocent child with his amazing pair of eyes that I loved so much. 

These eyes of the child has the deepest memory of mine throughout the journey to the top.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2012


Fireworks has always been one of the amazing things during the Chinese New Year. Sarawak has always being the most happening state in Malaysia that celebrate this festival. Of course, those Chinese villages and towns in West Malaysia will have a amazing celebration as well.  
This photo is taken during the Chinese New Year Eve, in the midnight. This is the moment all the people have been waiting for after the Reunion Dinner. People will blast the sky open once the clock hit 12 !
 I was waiting for this moment as well but to hit my camera button to shoot for the timelapse. 
And this photo gives me an experience where the fireworks exploded near-ground and I ran without taking my camera along ! 

My camera shot the explosion and this is it !
