Berbuka Puasa

This was a chance shot I didn’t expect to make � was lurking around the backlane behind Capitol Centre, “randomly shooting”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/skinnylatte/archives/date-posted/2005/10/21/, when I saw this family take a shortcut, probably after prayers and about to break fast. (Correct my Malay in the title if I’m wrong, please.) There was barely time to focus, I wish the man facing the camera wasn’t there, though, and if my eyes could still open I’d clone/stamp him out; but I kinda like this.

Two more weeks to go. Sigh.

    they are Bohra muslims, a Shi’ah sect, that branched off from Islam in India.




    mandrake and I have been inside their mosque for a wedding.
  • The turning man made the pic, or else it just flowing cloth. Wished I could such pics myself. Good eye for a pic.




    And two weeks to what? ORD? :-)
  • I think they are actually going to their mosque, which is thru the black gate on the right.




    You can see the main building from the front, its a bit indiscreet and you might miss it totally. Its between the Chinese Commerce Building and the black Singapore Telcom building.





    These people are actually Borahs, a offshot sect of the Shiite Muslim.





    I’ve been inside for a wedding and the place is very nice. The wedding experience was once in a lifetime too.
  • Yeah it looks great when it is like that. Otherwise, it may look posed.

    I thought that chap was a nice touch actually.
