This was a funny shoot for so many reasons.

First it took 6 months to plan since all three of us are such busy people and then it was brought to you by McDonalds. Well I wish but the irony of the day was, we ended up buying McDs from 2 different outlets and had our meals in the car as we rushed to our meeting spot.



The even weirder thing none of us are fast food fans. Anyway it was bright and sunny when we settled into my car and drove off to find this one location I’ve wanted to shoot at for some time. Just as we thought we won’t find the place, we bumped into the elusive road and found the abandoned building.



The next problem immediately swarmed in on us. The place was gorgeous but infested with mosquitos. My models were swatting themselves every 2 seconds so we quickly got out and tried to figure out what to do. We decided to find mosquito repellent and try the place again.
Weirdly the overbearing cheap cologne smelling repellent actually worked!




I’m sure you love the emotions in the photos but trust me this 2 burst out into laughter every 30 seconds! And it’s so infectious the three of us are laughing continuously.

How can you have a story without a mishap? Mid way through the shoot, I slipped on mud but the camera remained safe up in the air all throughout the slip ;p



At one point we started hearing furious tapping sounds above us and it took us some time to realise it was raining even though the place has no roof. The good thing about the place was we couldn’t feel the rain as the canopy is made of huge leaves.



But we still packed up just in case and stood waiting since we would definitely get wet walking out. As we stood there waiting we realised we were pretty much protected. So we decided to shoot again and midway through a few shots it started raining heavily and we made a mad dash to the car while I tried to protect the cameras.

I wish we had more time but whatever time we had was awesome.

Thanks guys ;)

Chinese opera evolved from folk songs, dances, talking, antimasque, and especially distinctive dialectical music.



Gradually it combined colorful costumes, make-up, acrobats, jesters, storytellers, literature, acting, poetry and martial arts to present the Opera in a very attractive way.



Accompanied by traditional musical instruments like the Erhu, the gong, and the lute, actors present unique melodies.

There’s a buddhist centre near my old house – the Nalanda – a centre based on sri lankan teachings. Different budhist practices from different countries have slightly different styles of workship – the Tibetian one is more similar to hinduism where Buddha is portrayed in various forms and devi plays a major role. I never found the time to go there till on Wesak Day, last Saturday.

It’s a very new centre and I was told it was started to offer students in the local univ (I live in a univ town) a place to workship and bond. What I liked about the place was they were very welcoming. Lights and flowers and food was given to all.

I’ve always loved the serenity of Buddha, I fell in love with one particular statue in chiang mai last year and was sitting in front of him forever. I’m also prone to sit and enjoy the chants of the workshipers – very soothing.

Few years back we had the opportunity to perform in a dance drama on Sidharta. Upon seeing our performance, the main buddhist vihara in KL invited us to perform again on the steps of their temple on a full moon day. It was one of our most memorable performance as there was just an amazing serenity to it facing the moon and performing to the world. Ps : was recovering from flu yesterday – feeling much better today
