samedi, mai 31, 2008  This post is dedicated to Ronnie, who's the only one who'll really understand and fully appreciate the title.I was on a golf course taking photos for someone about a week ago, and while the scenery was pretty awesome (as awesome as land-scarce Singapore can get), the one thing that really tickled me pink was the stick of an onion and a chilli, stuck on the first tee-off uh, spot, or whatever the golf jargon is. Look at it! So happy! So red! So hot! Just stuck there, looking at home and not at all incongruous beside the pot of sand (that's used, I assume, for levelling the playing field, or whatever the golf term is.) Every single group of golfers that tee-ed off asked me about it. (I was tempted to ask - what makes you think I know? I'm just the photographer - but you know, VVIPs and decorumcakes) It's apparently some Malay superstition to ward off rain - or ensure sunshine, which makes more sense actually. There's supposed to be a garlic or small onion too, but given that the weather was searing that day, I suppose it was enough. Hey! This could be the reason behind climate change! Too many golf courses in the world, and too much chilli stuck at each hole... Libellés : humour, photography [Oh chillis!] |
