Today is also an auspicious date for Chinese weddings, apparently. There were hundreds of couples at the Thean Hou Temple going through a conveyor-belt marriage registration process. This random couple and their friends were waiting for the photographer’s signal to jump in unison. Makes a nice candid moment near 12:12 pm. Happy 12-12-12 !

Look at those two-legged silverfishes gnawing on the books. The world’s biggest book sale required an ultra-wide lens to take in the phenomenal view.
Currently running at the Mines Convention Centre, Big Bad Wolf 2012 Book Sale is chewing up another world record. There are 3 million books on sale.
All these is quite surprising and ironic. We were told repeatedly that the average Malaysian reads less than 2 books a year. No one in the hall is complaining though. New books are going for 75% to 95% below regular prices.
The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2012 is from 7th to 23rd December 2012.

The sky fired a couple of warning drops but no one took her seriously. Angered, she released a burst of big, hard-hitting drops. The smell of rain hitting the asphalt is enough to send pedestrians fleeing for shelter. Me? I ran with the camera firing skywards.
