I wonder if by now you may think that I am converting my personal website into some kind travel blog site. Well, I am not. Just a phase I am in. I am still a raro (weirdo in English) and those out-of-the-world posts will return, I promise. In fact, this weekend, I have been very [...]

A Road Trip To Valencia
July 26th, 2009 15 Comments
“You always like to do it the hard way” – I get that a lot from the people around me. I have no idea how the hard way always find its way to me. But I think, rewards are earned, not being handed over. For the record, I don’t seek out the hard way. I [...]

Into the Mountain Montserrat

If you open the Sunday edition of our local paper The Strait Times, you shall see a write up on Spain with a picture on a location exactly the same as my entry last week. What a coincidence. Ever since I have started writing this Sunday series on our trip to Spain, there are two questions [...]

Second Day Is All About Gaudí
July 13th, 2009 15 Comments
It is hard to imagine someone who has passed away more than 80 years ago have left behind such a legacy that – to me – so ahead of his or even our time. Gaudí stands as one of the most original architects and his signature design of curvature inspired by nature’s creation can be [...]

On My Birthday We Visited Medan Ikan Bakar at Malacca (Again)
July 11th, 2009 11 Comments
My observation on age as such: besides the age that you can legally have s … ahem … your own driving licence and the one that grants you lots of discount everywhere you go because you are senior, age is just a number that has little significance. Some achieve more than others at their age; some look [...]

My Dog and My Family, One Day at a Park
May 24th, 2009 11 Comments
I wonder if any of you remember precisely what you did during the New Year Day, or on that day, what has gone into your mind. I didn’t. As I processed my digital mountain worth of photo backlog, the timestamp of this particular photo collection tells me that on New Year Day, my family took [...]

Photos of Taman Safari Taken During Our Trip to Bandung, Indonesia
May 18th, 2009 14 Comments
I agree with Haruki Murakami: The older we get, the busier we become. Maybe as I acquire wisdom and experience, more opportunities open up; maybe time is taking a chip off my efficiency, slowly but surely. It is a good and a bad problem at the same time. I enjoy writing pieces that are more [...]

My Early Photography Work on Fraser’s Hill
March 28th, 2009 10 Comments
Of the few highlands in Malaysia, Fraser’s Hill holds a special place in our hearts. It is tranquil, it is serene. November 2008 seems so distant. It was cloudy, rained most of the time. The same month when 2008 Formula 1 reached its finale. And this afternoon, I was glued to my TV watching the 1 hour [...]

My Sister’s Wedding in Singapore – Thank You For Your Warm Wishes
March 8th, 2009 14 Comments
It is amazing how pressure can propel us to do the seemingly impossible. I woke up this morning barely 8 hours after I shot the last photo of the evening and my parents were already pacing around my living room hinting or rather strongly hinting that they wished to take all the photos I have shot for [...]
