“More Coke, please?”

"More Coke, please?"
Another long exposure effort… This particular picture was taken together with the previous one outside the ba kwa store in Chinatown. I had a hard time thinking of a title for this one. Luckily, CY came to the rescue once again with a short, but succinct title 😉

One of the alternatives we came out with was “1:3”, which can mean either: 1) One handphone to three persons, 2) One Coca-Cola to three or, 3) One umbrella for three people :P. I decided to stick with “More Coke, please?” since that came across as simple and punchy :D. What do you think?

I have not managed to find a guestblogger for this week. If you are interested to be a guestblogger (or would like to nominate someone), send me a contact!

For the meantime, it’s back to the dragonboat competition shoot that I did a couple of months ago. I wonder what the drummer was thinking as he peered across at the other rival boats. The rest of team seemed to be all set to go though, judging from the way their oars are placed at ready. I love the reflections in the dark green water, which provided a nice backdrop to the shot.

More pictures from my Bangkok trip…

The above was taken at the Hollywood Action show at the Dreamworld theme park. The show itself was pretty boring (partially because everything was in Thai — dialogue, commentary and all!) so I busied myself taking pictures of the display of action and pyrotechnics. Dearest CY came up with the interesting title for this one 🙂 … which leads to several questions: 1) Is the show bad?, 2) Is this what the guy in the SWAT uniform is thinking?, 3) Is the door bad?, or 4) Is this picture badly taken? (I hope not! :P)
