Peoples leaving for home...
While I headed to my car after the firework show ends to avoid traffic jam, the DPM of Malaysia flagged off the convoys of Colours of Malaysia 2008 to various states in Malaysia to promote tourism. Unfortunately, the convoys only will reach the government-led states, and not Opposition-led states. What is Tourism Malaysia if all states not involved in it? Is this shows the unity-less of the government (?)...
The End...

Abstract...#01
Abstract #01
This few days I've been thinking of what I am going to do for my next project. And then I flipped thru a magazine and there's an article and pic of ABSTRACT art. So, what is abstract art actually?
According to Wikipedia...Abstract art is art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses colour and form in a non-representational way. In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way—keeping only an allusion to the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable intrinsic qualities rather than its external appearance. The more precise terms, "non-figurative art," "non-objective art," and "non-representational art" avoid any possible ambiguity.(Source: Wikipedia)
In other word, there is no rules in abstract photography. You can go wild in abstract as long as you are happy with your shot without giving any reason. So, in this project, there will be no caption on every pics I post. Just use your imaginary to get any idea of your own from my pics. And for this project, all pics will be in Square format. Enjoy... :D

Colours of Malaysia 2008, Part 1: Pre-Show
Colours of Malaysia, or formally known as Citrawarna, celebrated its 10th anniversary on 24th May 2008 at the Putrajaya's Palace of Justice, Malaysia...
Thousands of performers from far swung corners of Malaysia displayed the uniqueness of their cultures, traditions and arts in the form of dance and music. The nation’s people celebrate with vigour and unity. This spellbinding show kept everyone entranced and wonting for more. The show begins as the evening sun melts into the horizon, providing a cool respite from the day’s heat. Pre-show commenced at 5.00pm while the main event took centre stage at 8.30pm (actually starts at 9.00pm waiting for the always-late-VIP) and Post-show started from 10.30pm onwards.
Last year, me went for the same event at the same place too. Pics from last year event can be view here. In this series, all pics edited in 16:9 format (originally 4:3 format, standard format of Olympus E-series DSLR)...
