it's all smiles: KLDP is One today!


Yes! KLDP is a proud little 1 year-old! Well, not that little. Quite fat actually (from all the pictures stored in cyberspace). Certain cultures believe that being fat is a sign of happiness and prosperity. I'm all for that belief. It has been a year of meeting new friends and developing photography as a form of storytelling.

I thought long and hard on the picture that would best represent this day. I chose this. The baristas at Starbucks in Low Yat Plaza. I frequent this outlet at least twice a week. Good coffee, free Wi-Fi and smiling, friendly faces. People that make my day a little merrier. And that's what it's all about.

So, thank you for coming into KLDP and my life, and making it a little merrier. Happy Blogday KLDP! We will always have a smile for you.

Oh Edwin, I'm delighted that you enjoyed the cake.
Just like Pod and the majority of my voters tonight I feel there was only one possible answer: Superman's handbag;

Achieving a full year of posts is no mean feat so you definitely qualify as a Superman, and then there's an allowance for the feminine in you, plus I was sure you'de be one to enjoy the twist !

For those of you who don't know what the cake is about, go and have a look at Sydney Daily Snap!

Feliz Cumpleaños te deseamos a ti... Querido amigo me alegra mucho saber que ya cumpliste un año de fotografiar la vida de Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks for showing me and the others a city that was unknown to many of us. Thanks too for being a friend from the dark side of the planet. Thanks for all the pleasure and pain you have given me through your photos. A little Jane's Addiction to you too.
