Maya Zoffea~~

Last weekend during the 4-day leave, I spent most of the days at my sis' place as my parents were there along with my uncle's. We were planning to attend a relative's kenduri at Petaling Jaya area. On Monday, we didn't really have much things to do after uncle and his kids already headed back to Sabak, then I texted my friend and asked him if we could come to pay his new-born princess.

But unfortunately his wife was doing a full-body head to toe scrubbing, bertungku and spa. But after a few more texting, we agreed to come still. So we headed to their house knowing, we could just have a casual chat with the hubby while the wifey was upstairs being massaged =p

With the help of google map in my siri, we reached there smoothly.

Sleeping beauty (^^)

New-born always sleep. So Zoffea's pictures were mostly sleeping pose =].

My friend was feeding zoffea with the breast milk pumped into the bottle. Zoffea seems to be liking it more when it was from the bottle rather than directly from her mom's.

Zaffar with her trains!!! I managed to spend some time playing with him and his trains on the the railway track. Hahaha so fun. But I still couldn't really catch what was Zaffar saying (=.=). Ekekeke sorry Zaffar. Kalau uncle selalu hang out ngan zaffar mesti uncle faham punyaaa..

Zoffea and Uncle Gorgeous~~~

While we were at Zoffea's house, Xiyad borrowed the rocker..sampai tido syok je Xiyad on it. Hehehehe. Nak mintak satu le tu from Ayah..Sorry, tak dapek la Xiyad..Ahahahaha

Well then, looking forward to our next meeting ek Zoffea.

On-wheel Phtotography - Kedah Journey

What is On-wheel Photography??

Basically and frankly speaking, it's my own term that I've created last week!! Ahahahahaha!!! It's supposed to be photos that you took when you were on a vehicles. Regardless of what kind of transports they are. Whether you are just a passenger or you are actually the driver, On-wheel Photography is a fast composition decision that you need to take during the movement of your vehicles and you need to carefully estimate how the composition would fit into your picture.

The shop lots on their ways

Hug me tightly and dearly my love. This gonna be a bumpy journey

Wherever you go, just make sure this destination is one of the pitstop to be stopped by

On-wheel Photography should be really easy. The sunlight should be sufficient enough for you to crank up your shutter speed till 1/1000sec. If you set your ISO to auto, no fuss man. You just need to shoot and care about your composition. What kind of objects that make your composition meaningful.

Jejantas that usually deemed to be so important, crucial and needed. But once it has been built, it's rarely been used. Irony~~

Sand factory maybe?

Kereta Potong shop. A nice option for penniless guy like me if happened to involve in an accident

Workshop??

It would be a huge..I really mean HUGE bonus if it was a sunny with blue sky along your way. The blue sky is surely a great impact for your photos. You can see it clearly in my batch of pictures here. The blue sky is such a great background!!!

You need to stop here for every journey of course. Till when we gonna get the subsidized price

I think this shop is called Tanah Merah??

Drive carefully and if you are the driver and you are going to shoot this On-wheel Photography, please think of a way where your eyes would always on the road man. If not, you gonna end up here =). Well eventually everyone of us will. But just try to delay it yah? Ah, don't forget to recite al-fatihah whenever you pass by one of the cemetery. They need it =)

Industri Desa. Hope the owner is one of those who benefits from the government allocation of entrepreneur budget.

The green padi field. So vast yet we need to import our rice from Thailand =(

It's Off day from them. Take a break from your work too man

Tried to get the cloud reflection from that pond of water.

Berjasa kepada bumi, you gonna get the return one day.

The development and the greenery

Entering the highway. Highways are built to shorten our journey with some more money out of you in return.

Leaving Kedah and in our way back. We wont see this greenery that easy in the metropolitan jungle where I live..=)

It was satisfying in its own way when I managed to get these shots apart of the 140KMH drive by the driver. But I didn't get this chance too often because I would always be on the wheel =p.

So you can try your own On-wheel Photography next time and share with me!!!

The clouds along the Highway

Driving along LPT highway, then Karak Highway and Genting Sempah is always a long journey either coming back from Terengganu or going towards Terengganu. The 2nd phase of LPT or LPT2 is still under progress but the yet-to-be-finished highway from Bukit Besi to Ajil has already been opened since Hari Raya Puasa couple of months ago.

It's a really long journey where you got to drive through the heavy downpour, drizzling and shiny road along the 5-7 hours drive. Then the speedtrap around Bentong and Temerloh would luckily caught you in action with your feet hitting the throttle as hard as you could =p.

These clouds were taken last weekend and I could still remember that shiny glimmering after-rain clouds which so mesmerizing and managed to make my sleepy eyes refreshed again. Well of course they were refreshed because I was trying to take the pictures by looking through the viewfinder while driving 110kmh..ekekekeke.

The clouds~~~ Given the right lighting and the appropriate form, they are one of the magnificent prove of Allah's omnipotent power!!

Botanical Garden Pulau Pinang

Botanical Garden Pulau Pinang is situated not from Persiaran Gurney or Gurney Plaza. Google map here!!. As the name suggests, it's a place where you can jog, just walking with your loved ones, bring your kids so there could run around and its also the place where you can see monkeys. But beware of them of course =p.

The view is just like other gardens. They have orchids sanctuary here and lots more. Unfortunately I didn't really pay extra attention on the attractions in this garden coz I just came to stroll happily and took pictures of my friends and myself. But there are few mini gardens inside here that you can check out. Place to do photography?? Oh, anyway in any section bebeh. I personally love this vast field the most. See how happy my friends were? Jumping joyfully without a slightest care of the world.

Pre-wed, wedding photography in Botanical Garden. Well, its up to your theme but it can be one of your spot. There are lots of elements and colours that could give you the background that you need and you could do so much with your pictures with these backgrounds.

Here is the Orchidarium. We didn't really go inside, but that orange worn-out brick wall looks so fantastic to be our background and our shirts' colour blend nicely with it. Told ya it's a nice place to take photos!!

There's a bridge to add up the landscape here. A bridge to Terabithia maybe. Hehehe. You could do more if you have tele lense though. Me? Oh, I have 17-50mm lense only with me. There's a zoom version of the picture but I prefer this one coz it tells you more story from it.

There's a sign to NOT FEED THE MONKEYS!! yep, please adhere to it. They are numbers of cases where visitors getting chased by the monkeys. The act of giving food to them give them the mental image that human=food. So don't blame them if out of sudden a big monkey came dazing towards you aiming for your ice cream!!! It happened to one of my friend!! That's why the botanical garden admins want to slowly eliminate the act of this monkey feed to protect the visitors.

Oh please. These are not monkeys. You can feed them. Bwahahahahahaa!!!

There's an ice cream hawker outside where you can sit on the grass and enjoy your ice cream. Outside here, they don't mind if you wanna give the monkey some food. But just beware the one you just gave some food would came back with his brethren!!! Ahahahaha!!

So, just buckle up your seatbelt and drive here if you are around the corner!!

Malaysia Truly Asia!!

The blue Selangor River and the dam

On my way to Fraser Hills from Pekan Kuala Kubu Bharu, I passed a blue lake, river I don't really know. But when I googled the direction, I think it's the Selangor River. The view is so nice...the water looks so blue and the 2-lane wide road feels like a journey of bliss.

You can see some people would pulled over by the road to fill up their water containers with the water that runs down from the hill. Some even have few big ones. So on my way back to KL, I pulled over like the rest but instead of filling up water, I take some shots of the picturesque view.

You won't miss it if you are heading towards Fraser Hill. There's even a proper place where you can park and enjoy the view. A place like where you can have a picnic or something like that.  If any of you know the proper name of this place, please share yah

Floating Mosque of Kuala Ibai. Masjid Terapung Kuala Ibai

Floating Mosque of Kuala Ibai. It's situated just near the main road. You are either blind or someone who can't look away from the road to miss the big signboard of this mosque. I bet thousands of newly married couple have already immortalized their moments here doing outdoor session. I didn't go here when it was my wedding because compare to Crystal mosque, this place is way farther. Time constraint is an old nemesis of wedding photography.

After more than a year having my time visiting Terengganu since our lovey dovey couple time till having it official, this was my first time going there. I went with my siblings-in law and it was simply a nice and easy evening stroll with some ice-cream and coconut drink to kill the time.

We performed our prayer inside the mosque before leaving the place. It's bigger than crystal mosque.

That's cembam and Haiqal. Been a while since I last meet this goneng. We couldn't spend the last school holiday at Ganu because we need to be careful enough for our first expected baby. After hearing some news of miscarriage simply due to traveling hometown, Cembam had to spend her week school holiday at home whining on how boring it was. hehehe

Maybe next time I will visit more of Ganu to see it's own special scenery and monuments. Oh, I have to take some pictures of the Batu Bersurat replica next time for sure!!

Taman Selera, Astaka, Dataran Syahbandar dan Waterfront Kuala Terengganu

Cuti Tahun Baru Cina yang lepas, aku balik kampung in-law di Seberang Takir. Bukan sebab nak tengok camne depa sambut raya cina, tapi sebab cuti panjang bagi can balik kampung lama skit untuk wife aku spend masa ngan keluarga dia. Lagipun adik beradik dia pun semua balik.

Khamis malam, aku keluar makan dekat Taman Selera berdekatan Astaka Bandar Kuala Terengganu . Diorang panggil Taman Selera, so aku follow je la. Astaka ni plak tak silap aku next to Dataran Shahbandar. Jadi senang je la nak cari. Gerai dia style benteng la kalau korang besa guna perkataan benteng.

Taman Selera memang tepi sungai yang selalunya orang-orang dari Seberang Takir akan gunakan untuk ke bandar. Senang. Nak cari parking kalau drive susah juge. Tunggu parking bertingkat tu siap dulu le. Tempat ni memang dekat dengan Pasar Payang dan jeti. Nak ke Pulau Redang pun kat jeti berhampiran sini gak.

Lepas makan-makan aku berjumpa dengan kawan opis yang kebetulan balik kampung. Kami lepak kat Waterfront. Waterfront ni plak terletak berdekatan dengan Bangunan Felda yang korang boleh nampak dari Jambatan Sultan Mahmud. So, dari waterfront ni pun memang korang leh nampak Jambatan Sultan Mahmud tu lah.

Ada medan selera gak dekat sini. Kami sempat minum-minum sambil borak-borak macam-macam kat sini. Sesuai juga untuk keluarga. Tapi takde apa la, just nak layan view sungai waktu malam je

Haa..tu la bangunan Felda yang aku khabarkan tu.





Jambatan Sultan Mahmud waktu malam. Warna hijau plak air sungai tu ye..=]

Yang last ni gambar sekadar hiasan. Bini aku. Ekekeke. Monumen ni kalau ada nama, aku pun tak tau. Panggil Menara Jam sudah. Ehehehehe
