Hit the Streets~

Right outside the Annexure, painters and artists doing what they do best.

I have to say, i have one of my pictures drawn here and it was good. But it aint cheap ;)

This is what we call 'wayang kulit' or what u may know as pupetry shot, just that these actually use beautifully cut papers in the form of living or mythical beings.
I think it originated in Kelantan, Malaysia and its sadly one of those heritage which is dissapearing. Maybe, one day i`ll just travel down to Kelantan and watch the show myself.

Now these are the handcarved pupets (supposingly that they are) which are sometimes used in pupet shows. Check out the colours of their garments and the details, its just awesome.

Now i know the West have Easter, and eggs cost very cheap during the celebration. Still remember missed my 1 quid per carton of eggs shopping spree ;).. and yes, in Msia we have coloured eggs too. Probably derived from the Easter idea too.. Well i dont really get what the Bunny and the Eggs got to do with Easter? hmm...

Well, i managed to get some picture inside Central Market. There are just loads of shops ranging from handicraft items to really expensive tourist souveniers.. hahaha.. and it was a Thursday so i guess there wasnt many people around.

Everytime i see singers on the streets, i never fail to be amazed how they can stand singing and singing for hours~! Was sitting there for 2 hours he never stop singing and ended up with my RM3, pity but hey GET A JOB. I remember when i was in the busy London tube station (forgot which stop) i heard this really good strong voice like Lois Armstrong i swear echoing throught the walls of the tube. It was rush hour then, i tried to look for that guy but sadly there was JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE~!!!! man wish i had bought a cd from him..
(above pictures are all Photoshop-ed into my Street sytle colours or Lomo-ed)
