…now I am blue.<\/p>\n

So these pictures will have to do.<\/p>\n

I shall do this in the style of The Pink Frog<\/a>, with some connectivity in the story.<\/p>\n


\nRemember before the haze?<\/p>\n


\nWhen you could spot Genting from near my house?<\/p>\n


\nWhere KL was clear? (This is Masjid Jamek.)<\/p>\n


\nColors were nicely saturated (okay so this doesn’t count because it’s indoors.)<\/p>\n


\nShooting with a polarizer through a car window<\/a> gave the sky a cheery color!<\/p>\n


\nCrossed polarizers<\/a> gave Kingsley<\/a>‘s yard a hint of purple.<\/p>\n


\nBut alas! A freakish square-shaped cloud was brewing!<\/p>\n


\n“We’re down, dude. No power, dude.<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nBirds were getting confused by this weather change. “Have you seen my flock?<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\n“Grab… my… branch… we… will… survive…<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nThe next day, I found the skies amazingly blue upon coming up the KLCC PUTRA LRT station to take a bus to Bintang Walk. The haze hadn’t kicked in yet.<\/p>\n


\n“Finally, somebody appreciates me and doesn’t treat me like a Siamese twin!<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\n“Dude, I am your half-brother.<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nYes, I was here a while, since the bus drivers were breaking fast and would only resume at 7:30pm.<\/p>\n


\nCoca Cabana!<\/p>\n


\nThe Maxis Tower, with the eyelet, reminds me of Quake 1’s grenade launcher for some reason.<\/p>\n


\nAnd this looks like the Thunderbolt\/Lightning Gun, also from Quake 1.<\/p>\n


\nFor some reason this looks like it was shot on film.<\/p>\n


\nFujifilm should pay me. Maybe in ISO400 chrome film. Or a Fujifilm S3 UVIR, which can shoot infrared without modifications.<\/p>\n


\n…or at least in mooncakes. I love mooncakes. This was shot on mooncake festival evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
