The Old Corridor

The corridor has stood for more than a century, witnessing changes in time, but without much change on itself.

However, to the little cat, it is just another peaceful day for a nap.

Raining Day and Night

It's a long long raining season. The wet day started since afternoon & continues until the night. Dinning in the rain, seeing hawkers hoping for more customers.

Story from the Buildings

Buildings at the Old Town would tell you the history of the city. Driving on one of the oldest street in Ipoh, Jalan Sultan Yusoff (Belfield Street), the HSBC building at left displays the architecture of British colonial age. The Asia Life Building on the right is a typical 1960's design while far ahead is the modern high rise building, Wisma Taiko, that represents the 1990's

Flying

Flying is my dream. I like to look at the world from the sky. Every time I view the Earth from aeroplane, I feel how tiny human being is. However, so much damages we have made to this beautiful planet.... It's never too late and never too little can do to save the Earth. A little step from everyone is significant

Crystal Light

Crystal light, brilliant & beautiful. We enjoy our life, but, do we remember those unfortunate, lonely & helpless people? They are in the same world with us. What can we do to help them....?

Sunny Afternoon

A sunny afternoon. The Ipoh City Council Building is having a peaceful Sunday. However, the 100 Yen Shop beside it is flooded with customer looking for nice & creative Japanese low cost stuff

About 500 meters away, the 10-year abandoned high rise building project finally reaches its completion. From Syuen Tower, to Ipoh Tower until today's Tower Regency Hotel, the building has changed its name several times. Since the economy downturn in 1997, the building stood only on its skeleton until construction resumed on 2007

Leave the crowd...

Today is Monday, and also a national holiday - Hari Raya Haji. Ipoh downtown is packed with people. Shops are crowded for the good & tasty food. The famous soya bean & "tao fu fa" shop in New Town seen with customer queue up... I only managed to get mine after 15 minutes...

Too congested in town. I choose to leave the town with my favorite soya bean & "tao fu fa" & go country side. In the cloudy day, driving to Kampung Gajah seemed relaxing...

Parit Clock Tower


Parit is a small town about 30km from Ipoh, which located beside the Perak River. I was planning to have Hainan noodle as my lunch in Parit but the shop was closed. By the way, I managed to take a snap on the landmark of the town, the clock tower at the center of main road. It was built on 31 August 1957, the Independence Day of Federation of Malaya.
