I was given the opportunity to spend one night at Holiday Inn Melaka over the weekend and it was quite a much needed break for myself. It was not the first time I’ve stayed there although I can’t really remember how it looked like previously. But Holiday Inn has always given me the impression that it is quite dated, and well, old-school.

Well, guess what? Not anymore because they seem to have gone through some sort of makeover and things are looking pretty good. Read More...

Looks like my latest obsession in Singapore is not the zoo or the bird park but Marina Sands! During my last two trips there, I have been there three times and I got to say I am enjoying finding new angles to photograph this beautiful building. Sharon still hasn’t been there so I am pretty sure I’ll get another shot of it the next time I visit Singapore.

The above was shot using the 20mm and it was in the evening. One of the best thing about the Marina Sands is the glass panes and the reflection they project. Read More...

I am wishing goodbye to the beautiful rocky beach of Tanjung Similanjau

Batu Selungun is the local name for this majestic Elephant Rock
situated at the mouth of Selungun River about 2.5km south of
Kampung Kuala Nyalau,which is another 90km by road from Bintulu,Sarawak.
Locals call it Batu Selungun,Lungun meaning coffin in Iban,
the green growth on top of it was once shape like one
until the front part was eroded.
Access to this rock is by boat or by treking along the beach from the village.
I think this is the only Natural Arch shape like an elephant in Malaysia.

but decided to do it later alone
because of the bad condition of the fish after some iguana dropped by earlier
before us for a feast.

During my visit to Singapore last weekend, it was rare that I did not visit the zoo or the bird park. I started off with the idea of visiting Little India but I would have to wake up really early for that so I decided to get some sleep instead. After meeting up with Steph, my parents and sister were in Marina Sands, so I decided to go there and take a look. Read More...

Akhirnya, lepas sekian lama merancang dan asyik tak jadi dan tunda menunda untuk kesekian kalinya, kami sampai jugak ke destinasi bulanmadu yang pertama (lepas setahun empat bulan kami kawen!!). Niat asal nak ke Cameron Highland. Tapi mengenangkan keadaan kat sana yang asyik la sesak dengan manusia, kami tukar plan ke Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. Nak pegi jauh² sampai Paris belum berkemampuan. Jadi, ini pun jadi la kan. Untuk permulaan. Insya-Allah masa akan datang ada lagi plan nak bulan madu untuk kali kedua, ketiga, keempat dan seterusnya. Takmo stick dengan frasa 'bulanmadu hanya untuk orang bar Read More...
