I am braindead and so I present to you pictures. Serious. I will blog about the Police Rights workshop I attended soon. I will blog about many things. But first, pictures, because that side of my brain was still working.<\/p>\n


\nAssembly Point – where it’s legal to have an assembly, because there is a sign!<\/p>\n


\nMan, those are some stoned monkeys.<\/p>\n


\nI took a cab to Robson Heights, and ended up on the wrong side, but I stopped here to take pictures anyway. Thank goodness for that diversion, or else I would be feeding mosquitoes in LostGenSpace<\/a>, where the workshop was held.<\/p>\n


\nWaterfalls are captured with long exposures and small apertures, e.g. 15 seconds and F8. A tripod, or in this case, a rock, was used to stabilize the picture. I also used my circular-linear-wannabe-neutral-density filter<\/a> to prevent it from being overexposed.<\/p>\n


\nPhotoshop was then used to counter the blue tint of my not-so-neutral density filter. (Neutral meaning it does not change the color of the picture.)<\/p>\n


\nI know not the meaning, but I want the good luck it is supposed to bring. Now to buy 4D.<\/p>\n


\nThe polarizers also come in handy; you’d otherwise see huge white reflections in the pond.<\/p>\n


\nThey reach dry land where they bask and stone.<\/p>\n


\n“Man, time goes by so fast these days, eh young snapper?<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nCheck out the rock-hard shell. It even looks like a rock! Oh wait, it’s a rock. Toadally.<\/p>\n


\nBasking outdoors. He is, technically, outdoors anyway.<\/p>\n


\nThus began the walk up the hilly roads of Robson Heights.<\/p>\n


\nTo a spooky looking bungalow where I would be mosquito feed again<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nI met Lainie<\/a> there. For lunch break I walked alone as she was engrossed in deep, headache-inducing conversation.<\/p>\n


\nI walked past the legendary Brickfields Police Station, where the hardcore-punk-mistaken-as-black-metal kids were taken to on New Year’s Eve. The workshop taught us how to deal with police and what our rights were. These people weren’t given their rights, yo.<\/p>\n


\nI landed in Nagas, this fancy-looking mamak opposite the police station.<\/p>\n


\nThe tandoori chicken was like no other. Fluffy, fresh chicken and naan bread. Mmm. The next time I’m hungry in KL Sentral, I will walk here.<\/p>\n


\nIt is said that teh tarik should not be consumed from a glass.<\/p>\n


\nTake it straight from the source, yo. (I’m not dissing teh tarik; I love it, but I can’t have too much of it<\/a>.)<\/p>\n


\nA drunk fan was spotted opposite the police station! (Note the Chivas Regal bottle in an open box.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
