A dilapidated but occupied old building in Chinatown KL. Watercolour filter was applied. The tragedy about our old heritage buildings is that they are either left in disrepair or the windows are replaced with mismatched aluminium framed black tinted glass. Sigh.

Pekan Sungai Besi is one of few remaining old towns with pre-war shophouses left in the city. Due to its proximity to a big army camp, it has become a sort of a uniform town. There are many shops selling military fatigues, RELA vests and school uniforms.
In a traffic jam, I caught these two cute kids coming out of a uniform shop. When you anticipate a drive-by shot, switch the camera to speed priority and set a minimum of 1/400 sec. This will minimise blur from car and subject movement.

Fair maidens in economy wear at an economy rice shop. The hawker stall like the pasar malam (night market) is a neighbourhood fixture and as such patrons come in their house attire. On a “cook-free Sunday”, you can see people marching towards this popular stall like zombies. Quite fascinating. I muted the colours to better convey the monotony of suburbia living.
