ISCM cake thingy [3]

Happy 48th Birthday, Malaysia! It's independence day and my company had a patriotic cake-decorating contest. Really interesting stuff came out of it, and they were all yummy!

I've got no idea why this paper doll is in an incense burner, I really don't.. But it looks all so comfy ^^

Incense burned for the hungry ghost festival. For some reason, people burn not only at one end, but at the middle as well.

Flames fascinate me. Its energy, its destructive power, and its ephemeral beauty.

After a few days of worship, the paper effigy of the lord of the underworld is burned... kinda like Guy Fawkes, except this is the good guy. Within 30 seconds the effigy is gone, but flames remain to burn for the next hour or so

Kickapoo... something tells me if they'd make Coca-Cola, this place wouldn't have been out of business.
