Favourite Mistake

More often than not, my images are normally turn out not as l expected it. But none of it can certainly beat this "camera typo" error.

What l wished was to shoot that lady but focusing on the glasses of serbet. Out of excitement, l forgot to move the dessert cup, thus the output was, yes, as you can see it.

Nevertheless, this is my favorite "mistake"...

Dinner & Shutter

Many many nights ago, l was invited to a company dinner, as to greet a colleague of us from our overseas division. It was a really nice dinner.

Over the the time, it was slowly dis-locate from our memory but l am lucky as l still keep the picture of it...

So, friends, click your shutter, wherever you are!

Quiet Valley

While tramping around our Kemaman district's countryside, l always stop in this area, looking around, inhales deep breath of fresh air, shoot a few photos and left while hoping our next generation can still gaze in awe at this Gift of Allah....

Kuala Sepetang 2

In Kuala Sepetang, we can observe how the age old bakau wood charcoal industry producing Malaysia's finest charcoal. It more or less, a living musem here...


The whole process was not change much since last century. It 's still a manual, where human strength overcome the obstacles...

But they keeps on going day by day, year by year and generation by generation...No electronic insrument to help the process, no fully air conditioned building to work in...

However, places like this offers good photos opportunity, but alas, my skills are nothing to shout about...


They work in a hot and dusty area where human comfort seem like a foreign word..But satisfaction...

And smiles are plenty!!!

Music Valley


l was standing by the roadside facing this valley, some few kms from
Paiton. From the pictures, probably it was just normal picturesques
East Jawa landscape but in reality it was more than that. When l stopped
there one fine Sunday evening, l was jolted to hear dangdut music blaring
from the villages in that valley. To much till l can't differentiate what
song they are playing.. but the dang dang dut dut are obvious...

It was clearly, louder the better concept here. For any event, marriage
especially, big speakers are essential item, "
Kita kan gembira, kok
kalau nyepi aja, mana bisa..."

Whatever, but l still smiling over this pic....

A Wedding

Attended a wedding, but obviously this is not the first time l attended a wedding, but strangely this is the one that l enjoyed throughout it. Maybe because it was my friend's daughter wedding and l enjoyed to see his happy face....

Maybe the food was soooo good...


Because the food was soooo good that l "refilled" 3 times....

Kuala Sepetang


Ini adalah sebahagian dari helaian kehidupan di sekeliling kita yang jarang kita amati. Wanita wanita ini adalah sebahagian dari tenaga kerja di industri penghasilan arang bakau di Kuala Sepetang, Taiping. Pekerjaan yang dianggap ringan disini, tetapi amat berat bagi saya yang saban hari mencari rezeki menghadap komputer. Dengan upah yang minimal, suasana kerja yang terdedah kepada semua unsur alam, mereka tetap tabah meniti hari berganti hari, bulan berganti tahun, generasi berganti generasi, demi untuk menambah pendapatan keluarga. Demi untuk melihat kantung beras tetap terisi, anak tetap kesekolah dan tidur malam masih lagi dibawah atap.

Tanglung


Sepanjang Jalan Kg China, Kuala Terengganu masih lagi dihiasi dengan Tanglung, walaupun sambutan Tahun Baru China telah lama berakhir. l was strolling this road yesterday afternoon when this lonely Tanglung seems so "inviting"....

Kg Pulau Rusa Hulu

Balik ke Kuala Terengganu untuk hujung minggu. Ada kenduri kahwin yang perlu dihadiri. Sungguh meriah dalam suasana kampung. Anyway, this Mussola on the other side of the river catched my viewfinder. If one travel from Manir to Kuala Terengganu and on the Jambatan Manir, one will observe this Mussola on your right.
