Blue blue sky....

What I enjoyed the most when traveling along Kuala Terengganu was nice sandy beach with cotton of blue skies with endless row of long coconut trees. The view of Malay kampung along the magnificent view of deep blue sea is really breathtaking to everyone who are driving along the road.

I always believe a picture's worth a thousand words.






I can just sit around there doing nothing at all for whole day.






Naturally beauty that we should preserve or else nothing will be there for the future.






The beautiful tone of the sea already enough to make you fall in love with that place.






The bluish color of the sky is just like a pure white cotton which just dip in blue water color.






All these natural beauty just make my travel of 7 hours a worthy journey.

Pak Awi Retreat, Pulau Duyong

My journey for this week ended me at 7 hours away from Kuala Lumpur which was famous for it turtle, a place named Kuala Terengganu. Our destination for tonight was at Pak Awi Retreat at Pulau Duyong, famous for it Monsoon Cup.



I got to know this place from MQ and Xiao Fu besides photos taken by Chen Loong one year ago. My initial impression of this "resort" was just another rest house or home stay. When reaching there, it was totally giving me different feel. Somehow, it give me the feeling of belonging in this small kampung in Pulau Duyong.



Somehow the nice view and the kampung lifestyle, make me feel indulge into peacefulness. Indirectly, no air-cond, no warm water, no tv and no proper toilet wasn't really that important anymore.



Does anyone will go for that place? If that question is directed to me, I would probably answer "Yes, Why not" without any doubt.



Love this natural pose of mine taking bath in the room minus the sexy underwear behind it. Thanks to Douglas Ho who took this photo from another bathroom.



How many times have you sleep in mosquito net with just a fan? For me, not more than 3 times if I can remember. From the window of the room, you could oversee the bridge that connected to the city.



Simple but nice.



Photo taken by Douglas inside the mosquito net.



The cooling air is just enough to make you sleep soundly in the room. Great place that not everyone will appreciate the beauty.

When two hearts become one....

Last Monday I was on leave to attend my friend which is also my lead wedding registration day at Putrajaya. When two hearts become one... This is what I can think of when the first time I see Karen for the first time together with my lead, Kingston. They are such a perfect couple and very lovely when they are together.

I have been given an important task by Kingston to take their photo on their important date. This is the first time I ever attend wedding registration and this is the first time I alone took picture for them. So my first virgin wedding registration photography already given to Kingston. Haha!

Here are some of the picture of the memorable moment on their registration day. Hope this little picture will somehow make them remember that day forever.


The caring hand.... I took this picture when they are driving to Putrajaya.


Diamond for a perfect love.


Kingston and Karen on the way to register their wedding.


Family members who are there to witness the moment of them becoming husband and wife forever.


These loving couple was laughing when they are making oath.


A solemn promise...


Promise that are made in front of divine witness.


They seal their love with a kiss that last forever.


And a ring that prove their eternal love.


Kingston's family.


Karen's family.


The reunion of two family into one big happy family.


I wish them forever love together. Congratulation to Kingston and Karen.


I found this poem and it is best describe your love. Hope you like it.

Qing Ming

This week back to hometown because my family need to Qing Ming on Sunday so that my 3rd bro and 6th uncle able to make it back from Singapore. For the Chinese Qing Ming or better known as All Soul Day or Tomb Sweeping Day, it is a day to remember and honour one's ancestors at grave sites. Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, (joss) paper accessories, and/or libation to the ancestors.

My grandparent's tomb at Batu 18 or Kuala Beckham Bikam, Perak. It was damn crowded when we reach there. Real scenario of "people mountain people sea".



Without wasting any time, we walk to our grandparent's tomb and started to clean the grave. Qing Ming for us is like family reunion also. Hehe.



The young and the old will gather as well for prayer at the tomb although under the hot sun.



My 3rd bro who work in Singapore also back for Qing Ming together with my 6th uncle.



Some paper accessories offering on the tomb.



My dad always serious when prayer.



My grandparent's tomb.



My 4th uncle was placing joss stick on the tomb.



My mum showing the hell currency. So many zero on that note. Even calculator also do not have so much zero.



Some of the paper offering like XO, Kent and many more. I even saw people burning Astro, Mercedes and petrol station. Yeah... Petrol Station as well. No joke!



More and more offering. Did you see the minyak cap kapak? Haha. The packaging look so real. So commercialize and good marketing skill as well. Haha!



International brand like Loreal also got. You got money, you want anything also can. No jokes. Haha!



That all for now. Tomorrow need to wake up early to attend my boss engagement day. Will take some pictures there as well. Good night.
