Le B&W at Lang Tengah

Le Lang Tengah

Recent trip to Lang Tengah Island, off Terengganu. Except for the damn buggers, sandflies, the trip was really good.

Chi-Wa-Wa

So I was playing catching up with my niece and nephews some one week back. We were discussing the boys trip to Hokaido – yes, HOKAIDO as in JAPAN! Jealous much but yeah *shrugs* - and what gifts they have to get me upon returning. If you remember correctly, they are 10yo and 7yo respectively.

Me: "Boys, I heard you guys are going to Hokaido, huh? Do you know where it is?"

Patrick the oldest one replied, "Of cos! It's JAPAN, dude!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "O-K, Mr. Smarty Pants. Are you looking forward to it, then?"

Pat: "No lah. I don't know what's there. Last time we went to Tokyo, it was bo-ring. So much walking to do." (Tour, that's why)

The youngest boy, Shawn chipped in, "YEAhh. So boring."

{Tokyo? Boring? I think adrienz will keel over and die now. Sorry adrienz J}

Me: "Right. But unlike you two, many of us do not get to travel as much they get to, you know. You should feel blessed."

Silent ensued. I guess they do not know what to say until I broke the silence, "Anyway, so what are you boys getting me from HO-KA-I-DO!"

Pat whimpered, "Urghh… I don't know. Fish?"

Me: "Ha, ha! Ok I want Hello Kitty."

Shawn laughed and said, "You like HELLO KITTY?" But it's for girls!"

Hahaha… we all laughed.

Me: "Ok, maybe a Chihuahua. "

"CHIHUAHUA?" Pat looked at me puzzled and wrinkled up his nose.

"Yeah, what is chi-wa-wa?" asked Shawn.

"Oh I know! It's some monkey flower. Monkey monster flower!" Pat said eagerly.

"No, no! It's chicken flower flower!" chipped in the unusually quiet niece, Janice.

I couldn't help but laughed out loud. Pat and Shawn were lost.

"I think she meant CHI being the chicken and HUA-HUA being the FLOWER in Mandarin."

The boys burst out laughing till tears came out. As for me, I was trying to imagine a Chicken with flowers all over.

Chilly Cameron - Finale

For the finale, I want to tell a story.


This first picture was shot when we were on our way down frm CH. I do not remember the name of the waterfall but being a nature lover, I had to stop to ad's mild reluctance, tho :D


This cock is a real stud. He knows I was shooting him. Seriously. When I clicked away, he started dodging the camera i.e. pecking his feathers, on the floor and every so often looked straight back at me/camera. He must have been andy warhol in his past life.


"Fly is my superpower. But, please put some coins and make me fly?"


Bala's Chalet awesome dining room. I love that it is so ... quaint. But skip the breakfast ie American, Latin, Indian...skip, skip, skip. It is L.A.M.E


Don't this look like a POKI monster? Imagine an eye slowly opened from those pokey thorns. LOL


Magenta's anthurium! I have got to shoot that, I thought. I love anthuriums cos of it's simplicity and not the phalic thingy in the middle of the flower.


Amarylis! My favorite too. I love flowers and yes, I can do a mean flower arrangements. Just pass me the flowers LOL


Errrmmmmm.......thorny issue.


This dude was checking out the plants and flowers from one of the stalls at the famous morning market corner up in Brinchang.


Not my fav shot but I like the morning dew. Damn, I miss the morning breeze and coffee and scones. Shucks.


I like this cos it's very old school....*shrugs*


Down to the dining area!


Another fav shot.


The grand piano in the beautiful, decadent, yet stylish Cameron Highland Resorts by the YTL.


Reading goss mags.


Beautiful pendant lamps.

Chilly Cameron Part II

A little intro of this batch of photos (incl. prev post) - these are my proudest products so far since purchasing the D40x a couple of months back? Yeah. Only about 5% of the total images have been edited and I've used Manual Mode to shoot all the images. I think it must be the weather. I need to travel more to cold countries. Let's begin with Prague or Moscow since Airasia FX is flyin' there soon. Anybody?

Meantime, stay tune for Part III.
