first outing in 2010 - Air Itam dam and Kek Lok Si photoshoot

Finally went for the first ever outing with the gang for 2010.

We went for a hike to the Air Itam dam which I never been to before. The hike was longer than I expected, I thought it was short. I was tired honestly but not too hard because I do climb stair cases every single day. The victim was obviously Ah Bok but said he misread the email sent out by Ishtar that there were no hiking stated.. hahahaha. Ah Bok, time to exercise more and loose weight!

Anyway, we stayed there briefly only because WH is coming over to meet us pretty soon. We snapped around the surroundings, nothing too much as there's only a big dam with water inside, a hill... a few seats...that's all.

The photoshoot resumed when we made our way down from the dam and hike just a bit more to reach the side entrance of Kek Lok Si temple where we meet up with WH and his Nic boy.

This is the first time that I've shoot photos here during the day time. Previous one was last year during Chinese New Year where all the bright and colorful lanterns were hanged up for the occasion.

The main attraction this time was that they have finished constructing the roof top for the giant KuanYin statue. It was marvellous but when we reached there, the main gate to the statue was closed. I think they only opened it up for public during CNY or any other special events. we just stood outside to take a few snaps. Its a bit hard to get a bright shoot of the statue now because of the roof covering the statue, shielding it away from bright sun light. Even with flash lights, the pictures still looked a bit dark. I didn't shoot much really, never mind i'll come back again next time during CNY :)

Here you go, hope you guys enjoyed this series. Thanks!
