Women Power

It is nice to see a night market stall operated solely by women, selling and replacing covers of various smartphones. The replacement of the phone covers and cases is not as easy as one would imagine.

While waiting, this lady customer with the tattoo, told me she got her ink done for RM450 at Sunway. I think tattoo artists should also set up stalls at the night markets. At the same venue, I saw a hairdresser with her own air-conditioned trailer.

When You Get Caught Between The Moon And Putrajaya

“When you get caught between the moon and New York City,
I know it’s crazy but it’s true,
If you get caught between the moon and New York City,
The best that you can do,
The best that you can do. Is fall in love…”

~ Christopher Cross in Arthur’s Theme.

It was one of those nights when the moon was super-sized. Orangey, hazy but dim at about 9 pm. So big you can see the craters with your naked eyes. Contrary to popular belief, the best time to obverse the moon is not during a full moon. Details are more pronounced when you can see the ‘divide’, as with last night

Unfortunately, by the time I found this Putrajaya bridge to juxtapose, it has already risen higher and became smaller. This is a composite image with two lenses (one tele and one wide) with the moon at the same spot.
