Pulau Ketam, another spontaneous day trip on the 12 Dec 2009. With my buddies angeline and cheeheng.

This time we started a bit late than usual trip we had, around 11am we took a KTM ride from Subang to Port Klang, which is the final station. It costs rm5.80 for a round trip. We reached Port Klang station around 12pm, from there we walked (approximately 5 minutes) to the new port to take a ferry ride to the “Crab Island” - Pulau Ketam. Each of us pay rm7 for a single ferry trip. Finally 1pm we reach Pulau Ketam. It looks so familiar to me, everything still remain the same, same old look compare to many years ago.

We started our shooting and posing under the hot sun, infront of all the colorful walls, above the sea, with the kids…

More photos will be *soon posted up in the next entry.

A food+photography trip with photo-kaki on the 16-18 October 2009. Thanks andrew for the accommodation and be our tourguide. Had lotsa yummy food and visiting. Went to many places that i haven’t been before. Met new friend, kylie, and old friend, ah foong. And….

First day:
Reach there almost midnight, and we had a drink and chicken wing at a kopitiam while waiting for kokwai, sherrina & eddy to reach ipoh.

Second day:
Early in the morning, we went to the ipoh’s most famous dimsum, Foh San Restaurant. A double storey standalone restaurant, which can fit 100 tables. Wow!

Third day:
Mistress Stress/ 二奶巷

We bought salted chicken “盐焗鸡 ” as souvenir, and had coffee before we heading back to KL. It’s a great trip, and the weather was just nice, hot and sunny. So… where to go next?

What: I Have a Date with Spring 我和春天有个约会 (Musical Play)
Where: KLPac
When: 25 October 2009, 3pm
How much: rm115 (nearer to the stage, and it worth the price, thanks syam for helping us to get the tickets)
Who: Syam, Ben, Hamyu, Shyng, Jook & Rabbit

I went to this Pink Tattoos in SS15 to meet jook and shyng, their friend’s shop grand opening. We had lunch around sentul or at sentul, i don’t really know where, syam brought us to eat har mee. After the lunch, we straight heading to KLPac for the musical play. The play started at 3pm sharp, and ended around 6pm. I was impressed by the main lead actress (Tan Soo Suan) she act as 小蝶 in the story, she sing pretty well. And also the backdrop changing, wow! Some of the scenes are quite touching, ya.. i need a tissue, but i was too *shy* to get the tissue from my bag. The play will extend for another week. For those who wanna watch, please grab the ticket fast. Visit the site. For those who can’t really understand cantonese/mandarin, no worries, there is english subtitles.

Thanks shyng for recommend us such a nice musical play, and it was my first experience. Really awesome.

After the play, we went for a drink, some having dinner as well. and i had a little spicy indian donut. hehe.

Here’s the first pack of the fujifilm instax mini, no.3-10.
most of them are nerds or x nerds.. and liz, my old friend. i love all these~ so, who will be the next?

On the 13th May 2009, when we reached at Bangkok airport already around 11pm+, don’t know issit flight delayed or what? it supposed to reach there around 10pm. erm…. anyway… yay, we have reached bangkok, the shopping city…

Alright, we need to find where exactly is our guest house, The Lamphu House. Silly me, none of us copy the address of the guest house. but still… we reached the guest house, and it looks quite ok, each room got the private balcony (*special requested)

The first morning in bangkok.

It’s a rainy morning~

Looked up to the sky.. i saw a beautiful art piece through a transparent sunshield, the leaves shadows drop on it and pair with flowers petals…

The tree next to the reception counter.

We thought of taking the 9am train to Ayutthaya, but we were late. when we reached there, already 9.15am, we asked the pretty girl at the information counter, she suggested us to take a cab to Ayutthaya, coz the next train scheduled at 10am+ and the price is x20, which is around rm20+ per pax. So, after discussion with my friends & hubby, we decided to take an easy ride, the colourful cab *i want a pink cab* But… unfortunately, is not a cab, is a private car, with driver, that includes of round tour to Ayutthaya, drop off at any wat (temple), pick up, and back to our guest house before 5pm. excluding the entrance tickets  to all the temples.

We have 15 minutes break before heading to Ayutthaya, and we bought some breakfast and drinks to have it in the car.

It’s still raining…

3 of them continue their sweet dreams, and i… busy snapping the rainy city.

Ayutthaya, The Ancient Capital of Siam

After an hour + car ride, we reached the first Wat, Wat Yai Chaimongkhon.

I’m not too sure how many Wats we went, here is the total list.  Those without a strikethrough, means we visited. hehe, but don’t ask me which photo is for which Wat, i was lost here.
• Wat Phra Si Sanphet
• Wat Phuthaisawan
• Wat Yai Chaimongkhon (sleeping buddha)
• Wat Phraram
• Wat Mahathat (see photo below)
• Wat Phukhoathong
• Wat Rachaburana
• Wat Maheyong
• Wihara Pra Mongkhonbophit
• Wat Chaiwatthanaram
• Wat Suwan Dararam
• Wat Panan Choeng
• Wat Na Phrameru Rachikaram
• Wat Thamigarat

As you can see, still can find some complete Buddha statues.

The remaining days in Bangkok. The shopping days.

How should i describe Bangkok city? Here’s the answer…

Colourful, and a lot a lot a lot a lot of choices~ *my eyes so blur*

We went to MBK, Zen, Suan Lum Night Market, 2 days of Chatuchak and Khao San (Khao San everyday, coz we stayed there)

I have bought this HUGE frame from MBK, and i didn’t know an optic shop in a shopping mall can ask for discount *cheap cheap?*

Here’s my mirror project, to capture whenever i saw mirror and reflections. hoho.

We have bought a lot of stuff, i think cheeyen bought 20 t-shirts and 8 shirts, no play play~
6 days 5 nights, and we still think not enough, will go  again some other days when i need to change the whole wardrobe.

on the 7th, we woke up at 5+am, reached the nearest paddy field for sunrise, but it seems like raining soon. Until around 6.30am, it still all covered with clouds. So, we went for breakfast at wet market. After the food, we got back to the paddy fields, hope to get some nice shots.
