Tioman Island

Having disappeared from DP community for more than one month, I want to apologize to everyone, sorry for not updating my blog on a regular basis or not leaving any commentary. I don't want to give any excuse on that but my life had been in a mess in the past month. It's a very long story to tell so I might just save up your time for reading up some boring problems that I've had, which will probably make me started to feel dejected.

So back to the photo. That's a photo I took during my visit to Tioman Island, which located 32 km off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the state of Pahang, last 2 weeks.

I was having a walk alone along the beach right in front of Berjaya Tioman Beach, Golf and Spa Resort, while pondering over numerous incidents that had happened not long ago.

Anyway, I felt so much better after looking at the beautiful sunset. My bad photographing skills couldn't capture the sunset in time.



By the way, Happy Halloween, everyone!! =)

Beca

A closer shot of the beca's wheel. Beca is a transportation back in old days. It is somewhat similar with bicycle but just that it has added with a 2-person seats in front of the bicycle. Now, beca is widely used especially at tourist spots in Melaka and Penang.

Hop in and let's enjoy the breeze!

Have you tried any kind of transportation similar with this before? I know you would probably tell me that it's bicycle :p

Long overdue!

Sorry guys, I know this is a long overdue post!! The competition had ended 3 weeks ago and I have yet to edit the photos. Anyway, some of you might not know who's the winner yet. It's the Australian team, represented by Howards and Sons Pyrotechnics Pvt Ltd, they have won the inaugural Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC), beating three other teams - Malaysia, Japan and Italy. The theme of their fireworks display was "Aurora Australia".

The photo I posted previously was displayed by the Australia team. Whereas today I'm going to show you guys how the Japan team displayed their fireworks. Sad to say, there were times when I felt kind of boring in the earlier part of the show. But overall it was alright.




And the dazzling ending.

p/s: This is the last post about fireworks so you guys won't be bored by any photos from MIFC anymore. :P

Do you dare to drip?

That's the tagline of Baskin Robbins, I guess? It's printed on the tissue. The ice cream definitely was tempting and I enjoyed eating it very much.

I'm sure I've dripped it. :)

So do you like to eat ice cream? My favorite flavors are chocolate or anything cheesecake-contained ice cream.

Palace of Justice.

The Palace of Justice. It consists of five-storey building for judicial department and two-storey building which will house the courts, situated at Putrajaya. I noticed the design of the whole building looks alike with the Putrajaya Mosque which I posted the other day. What do you think?

Sorry for not updating anything here since the past few days. Been staying up few late nights; drinking hot steamy coffee to keep me wide awake through out the long haul night, to finish up my assignments and case studies. Well, I've been pretty lazy lately. ; ))

Street lights and signs.

A typical street sign in Malaysia. Sometime it is green in colour, and sometime it is blue in colour. And I have no idea about it - my bed is calling me. It's 2am. :/

Malaysia International Fireworks Competition

From 18 August 2007 till 2 September 2007, Nations from Australia, Japan, Italy and Malaysia will be competing in the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) for the Merdeka trophy.(loosely translated as the Trophy of Independence) This shot was taken on Wednesday, which was the day when Team Australia competing.

Putrajaya Mosque

This is the Putrajaya Mosque which is modeled after Persian Islamic architecture of the Safavid period with elements derived from other Muslim cultures.

A painting over the wall

This is a painting in a Japanese Restaurant, Shogun. I posted a post about it few days back. I think there's a performance going on and the people in the painting were enjoying watching it. What do you think?

Have a nice weekend, peeps! :)

Twin Towers

I took this shot few months ago - the Petronas Twin Towers which were once the world tallest building from 1998-2004. It would be more beautiful if all the lights had been turned on. I was wondering why the light on the lower part of the building hadn't been switched on. I think it's a good thing because it will prevent the wastage of energy which will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.

What do you normally do in your daily life in order to save the environment from becoming more and more polluted?
