On an ordinary afternoon, while i was arranging and editing my pictures,listening to Winamp online radio playing all time favorite jazz, I received a sms from the photography school I'd attended. Unexpectedly, the content of the message says I was one of the chosen winner for Canon's forum,therefore, I was asked to collect the prize from them...
All I could say was " OMG OMG!!!!!!" On the second thought, i told myself, "Did they made a mistake by sending this message to me?" So i called up just to double check.. It wasn't a false alarm... it was meant for me. =) I couldn't recall which picture I submitted or my lecturer did. Somehow I guess this is the only picture I recall posted in the Canon forum.

It was taken last year somewhere around September on a trip with few friends to Pulau Ketam. It is a small village where houses are all built on stilts above the mangrove swamps. The population(only 8000) is mostly chinese (Teochew, Hokkien and 
Hainanese)
Hainanese)The island is popular for its crab (no doubt) and other seafood. The traffic consists largely of pedestrains,motocycles and bicycles. It is a clinic,a mosque,a fire department,a police station,a church,a bank and few number of temples and schools.
I stayed there for a night, usually people come to this island for a day trip. My purpose to visit there was simply capturing sceneries which you don't see them in town and it was their celebration for the Light Festival..
I find myself attracted to places like this. I've always wondered, what if I’m born to places like this?Are the people there contented with what they own? would they fit in to city life, should they chose to move there?
