Top 20 Photos of 2013 - #5

#5

As I peered out of the hotel window to see the KL sky at night, I noticed one of the few rooms with the lights on and curtains open. There was also a lady standing by the window sending a message on her phone. It was an opportunity I had to take, and it turned out to be one of my favourite images of the whole year. The dull white walls of Vistana Hotel are complimented by the illuminated KL Tower beside, and contrasted by the sole human form in between.

Woman in Masjid Negara grounds

A Muslim lady in red walks through the grounds of Masjid Negara in Kuala Lumpur during the fasting month of Ramadan. This Thursday is Hari Raya Aidilfitri, marking the end of the month-long fasting with generous feasting.

Restaurant Dish Washer

This lady is a dish washer for this Chinese restaurant in Bukit Sekilau, Kuantan. Every day she sits on her small stall and washes dish after dish. She appears to be very happy. Do we sometimes get irritated when doing the same old things day after day, or do we appreciate the fact that we CAN do them?
