Near dusk, an electric tree remained unplugged on the Kinta Riverfront. Not a good thing normally; if you intend to combine lights with landscape for a twilight capture. Fortunately, the setting sun was very intense yesterday and it lit the tree beautifully from behind.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival (or Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival) today.

I am now the owner of a Hello Kitty handbag. Do you think I can also use it as an innocent-looking camera bag? Mooncake packaging keeps getting fancier each year. As a gift, the mooncakes from Good Chen are quite unique as they come in/with a cute handbag. The cakes are also embossed with the cartoon character, including those of Spongebob and Doraemon.
I bought two flavours from their Hello Kitty range to try. As photographed here; the Ultimate Brown Mix which is Hazelnut Coffee. At right, the Coco Diva is lotus paste with macadamia nuts and choc-oreo biscuits coated together with Belgian dark chocolates. Yumz!
The annual Mooncake Festival is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival or Lantern Festival in Malaysia and Singapore. It falls on September 19th this year.

Young or old, people will always be fascinated with lanterns. Happy Lantern or Mid-Autumn Festival. Photographed at Central Market tonight.
