[614] Of Kuala Lumpur: first world and third world
[614] Of Kuala Lumpur: first world and third world
I ran a little errand yesterday. My eyes were a bit wilder than usual, ceteris paribus (read: controlling for sexy girls factor). While wandering almost aimlessly, I saw a couple run down wooden squat houses with modern highrise as backdrop.
Two images of Kuala Lumpur in one shot. In my opinion, a good juxtaposition of two realities.
I can't wait what Selangor - the only self-declared developed state in Malaysia - has to offer. Fantasyland should be better than Kuala Lumpur.
It's ludicrous for Selangor to declare itself as a developed state. And I still think it's ridiculous to call Selangor capital of Shah Alam as a proper city. Forgive me for comparing but I think Ann Arbor is larger and more exciting than Shah Alam. Shah Alam doesn't even have a cinema to start with.
And I think I need a better camera. Or maybe, I just need to stop scaling down my photos for posting purposes. Yeah. Next time, I'll use 500px for width instead of 400px. Or I just need Photoshop instead of some stupid imaging software.
Argh! I want my old computer!

hi, i think the pic u posted here sums up kl very nicely. i really like it that kl is a juxtaposition of such buildings. everyone thinks modern and high rise is good. not so. this scene shows something lovely about kl, that it can mix old and new, ramshackle with high rise. and dont worry about the pixels of ur camera, what u take is more important than the technical camera. u got a good eye for paradox. pl post more pics that catches ur eye.
