Last Day of Year 2008

Today is the last day of year 2008. For whatever sweet and bitter, it's all over. Hoping the brilliant & nice days in year 2009, forever blue sky, forever green earth.

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

Sunset at Port Dickson

The beautiful sun set view from the hotel room balcony.

Port Dickson - Avillion Admiral Cove

Avillion Admiral Cove Hotel is located few kilometers away from the Port Dickson town. The building & its facilities is quite new & well-maintained. Room is clean, tidy & its balcony is facing the Straits of Malacca. A yacht club is attached to the hotel.

A Clear Morning

It's a start of a clear and sunny day. Rain in the night before creates a clear & fresh atmosphere in the morning

Batu Gajah Clock Tower

The clock tower at the heart of Batu Gajah town

Uncertain Weather

The weather is uncertain. A sunny day could turn cloudy & rain in a short while.

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....?

Cloudy Morning

The mountains appear in layers...

The Golden Clouds

The golden clouds during sunset would only appear for short while. It makes the mind at after work more relaxing...

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

A Full Moon Night

Today is the mid of lunar month. A bright full moon appear on the sky. Tonight the Moon is at its closest distance to Earth in 15 years

After driving about an hour from Ipoh, I was having dinner at Milan Cafe, Ayer Tawar. The restaurant is simple, neat, tidy & clean, plus the friendly service & nice food. It will be my choice of dining in the future

Sunrise

The amazing sun rise scene this morning...

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...

Nice Blue Sky

This raining season has been prolonged for weeks. We can rarely see a nice blue sky like today. The St. John Church in the morning.
