ingSiang: Oh I see so you’re the youngest. Well too bad for me, I’m the oldest and have to set an example of being a faithful, loving son ahhh.

Melle: Thanks for the additional info Melle! I actually wanted to visit US a lot it’s an amazing place! I love the rugged terrain of Texas, adore the neon glows of Las Vegas, crave for the gorgeous scenery of Chicago, envy the citylife of NYC… I wanted to go elsewhere too, I’m feeling of being robbed of an cultural experience as well. When I get enough money for backpackers travel, I think I’ll go to a few countries that I adore most - US, Canada, Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, South Africa, Spain, Greece… and a whole long list! I guess I could just announce that I wanted to travel the world and get someone to sponsor my trip and make headlines, muahaha!

Brandy: Hey I’m glad you’re finally feeling better *pats pats* wow your mom works at a grocery store, how cool is that?! I wish I can work in a corner shop next time - you get to interact with lots of interesting people.

ingSiang: Nope you don’t need the photos to be perfectly aligned before stitching. What you need are photos that have overlapping areas so the software can determine where to do the stitching. I have no freaking idea why this panorama turned out to be so nice because of the moving people… maybe it stitched the areas with static objects together and try blending the moving objects in to prevent any obvious distortion. I go shopping with my mom a lot too - I’m on break now, brother’s at school and dad’s at work, so I’m the one and only person that can go with her, haha.

Anyway, I don’t go on weekends, usually weekdays. Weekend I accompany mom go shopping + visit granny. =p

Home boy here, LoL! xD

As for food shopping? Mom works in a grocery store, so obviously, I don’t need to do it.

Whaaaa! At least you get heat, I’m hear rolling around in front of a heater just to keep warm. LOL! No, just kidding, but it is freezing when I walk to class and I just hate it! I cannot wait for 98 degree weather so I can pull out the shorts and tank tops! *sighs* You’re so lucky. Especially with all the yummy looking food! It reminds me of the Markets in New York Ave (In Washington, D.C.) Delicious food! And amazing shopping too. ; )

ingSiang: Oh woah you do go pasar malam on weekends as well? I usually go unless it’s raining - where a miserable umbrella is big enough to cover only my parents and not me. The panorama is actually stitched from two separate images using AutoStitch. The whole stitching process is pretty much automated, but it’s always better to check certain options before stitching. I should be writing a tutorial about it soon I hope I have some time.

eddy: Yea I know there aren’t many pasar malams over there, I think because there is a lack of space and the government is actually quite strict about illegal stalls operating. There’s quite a lot of night bazaars around, I know there’s one at Jurong East MRT when I go in the evening I’ll usually drop by and have a look. That’s a few years back though, I don’t know whether it still exists or not.

Ivy: Yeah one of the joys of growing up in Malaysia is getting to visit the night markets! I guess it’s a really integral part of our society and culture… well as for my family a week without visitng the market will make everything chaotic (like during Lunar New Year when the stallholders usually do not operate), we’ll have to drop by Cold Storage or Carrefour to get our weekly shopping done. But I never like queuing up in hypermarkets. It’s stuffy and squeezy, especially during weekends! In my neighbourhood there’s a Wednesday night market, it’s smaller but nearer to my home (a 3-minute walk will do). I usually buy nasi lemak (there’s no official English name to it, but it’s known literally as ‘cream rice’) and steamed corn, or if I’m hungry enough, get a roti canai / prata (Indian pancake). I wanted assam laksa but my mom told me that it’s not good for an empty stomach…

LogicYuan: Lol yea that brings back my childhood memories! I would usually beg my mom to buy me some if I think I’ve been a good boy for the whole week

cindy: Thanks! They’re actually a joy to visit! Well I wouldn’t go everyday, but I will miss it if I weren’t there every week.

hp84: It’s literally a melting pot for all Malaysians

Id: Same here. I like it the way it adds a unique perspective into a Malaysian’s daily life… where many of us do shopping in openair, temporary stalls instead of in hypermarkets like in other countries. We actually did buy dinner from that stall, but I chose to pack nasi lemak instead since I was in the craving mood for it. Heheh.

lix: The clickable panorama opens a larger one in the lightbox, there’s no need to scroll unless a scrollbar is present (which shouldn’t be the case if your screen resolution is 1024*768 and above).
