So I called up Victor and told him wanna go yum cha or drive around KL. Without a destination in mind, I drove drove and drove down to KL, and turned into the street call Petaling Street. So I started snapping. :D

By the time I reached there it was already nearing 11pm. Shops were closing or closed.

Walking half way down the street, outside one of the closed shop, people were gathering around. Then I saw this long firecrackers hanging over the front door of it. :) Chinese new year is here.

While the other people were going home from work, the cleaners’ works had just started.

Dark and wet back alley. Is this a street on it’s own? Jalan Hang Lekir?

Reaching the end of the street, only I realized there’s a temple nearby. What a nice coincidence, due to Chinese New Year, there were a lot of people there worshiping to pray for a good year ahead.

Squeezed ourselves into the temple that is filled with smokes from the joss sticks.

The mini library for the fortune teller. Get your fortune told here.

Old and young, men and women, all hoping for a better future, that’s what we want.

Beggars were all sitting just outside of the temple begging for food or money. But they’re very nicely seated and not causing any chaos because there were volunteered police there guarding.

After the temple, me and Victor started to walk back to where I parked my car. Got this shot from a closed stall, but the decorative lights outside the stall was still on. I guess is good for the Chinese New Year mood. :)

Very old-skool signage.

This was another shoot that I’m quite happy about. Hope you all like it too.
