But I wouldn't do that in Malaysia! I didn't use a star-filter - the starry effects caught me by surprise because it never expected the flares to turn out like that. The third picture is actually a combination of two photos. I've metered the first photo to the CK Tang tower and the other at the Christmas arch, but the second one was still overexposed. I overlaid the two photos and masked out parts that I do not want ;) Yea, I wish I shot it in RAW! Then I can make a pseudo-HDR heh. p/s: I just returned from vacation so I haven't seen your new design, but I took a peek just now and it looks awesome! Will be commenting in a moment.

I wouldn't even dare to venture into a construction site - the thought of someone accidentally spilling mud on <strike>me</strike> my camera is just too horrifying :P @pat: It’s actually just a temporary traffic island set up in the middle of Orchard Road – it was right beside the pedestrian crossing so I just plopped myself there.

The photo seems to be the favourite of my commentators... including you, heheh! @WanCing: Thanks ;) sorry that I'm a little busy lately to drop by at your blog, but I'll be there after I get my things done. Hang in there! @med: You're welcome! The Christmas decoration at Orchard Road always never fail to impress me, but given the current economic outlook I think the coming year's one will not be as spectacular as what we are seeing now :( @lix: Thanks :D Yea it's so sweet that it'll give you diabetes - better watch out for your diet! Anyway, I'll be a little busy lately, so do give me some time before I can drop by your blog. Sorry to let you wait! @letti: Thank you!

That was a line to poke fun at many Malaysian drivers who are rude and etc. I do have a probational driving license but I rarely drive in KL since it is scary that drivers have the tendency to not give way to amateur drivers like me in downtown. Aieeee! Given that, I wouldn't have the balls to stand in the middle of the road, even when the lights are red :D @bongkersz: Thank you for your compliments!

It looks different on my screen though, and I was worried that people will dislike the high contrast. I'm glad that you find it to your liking :razz: When I went for my class chalet, I miss my hostel haha! We didn't have enough food so we had to starve during dinner (we had barbeque that night) and there wasn't enough beds for everyone so I had to sleep on the sofa. Haha! Pretty bad but it was fun to hang out with your friends ;) @Wendy: Oh, I’ve checked the photo in other monitors and realised that mine is calibrated differently – which explains the high contrast and the very dark background.

All you have in mind while reading this post is seeing poor teddy being run over by a car, ROFL! Speaking of Christmas Carols, my Philippine friends started hearing them in shopping mall since mid OCTOBER. I was like WOAH! That's early! I don't do Christmas shopping, so the carols only serve as background music for me :) @NoktahHitam: You’re indeed very sadistic NH :D lol!
