Fatimah & Sharifah 的第一次

(左: Sharifah 右: Fatimah)

這是我們第一次到回教堂裡面去, 也是第一次, 必須戴上馬來頭巾 (是我們帶來的披肩 :-p) 是compulsary的. 規矩就是規矩, 怎麼熱, 都要戴. 戴了差不多1個多小時, 真的熱到不行. 我們當時真的很佩服他們, 怎麼能這麼堅持? 大馬的天氣, 熱起來可真不是蓋的! 一一的佩服得五體投地!! 阿Sam也不賴, 穿上了馬來長袍, 像極了!! (你看這就知道了: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sambee/4024420241/in/set-72157622616303296/)

這次, 是我和suzanne第一次參加攝影比賽, 他們選了這個集中地, 不然我們可沒想過進去, 而且還不知道原來那裡有個這麼的回教堂. 常常聽說Masjid Jamed LRT Station, 原來它的真身只在隔壁...我們真是孤陋寡聞!! (不好意思)

18102009 Heritage Photography Contest

今天, 真是非常充實和非常累的一天. 從一早, 5點多爬起來, 然後吃早餐, 集合, 開始拍照, 一直到下午2點多, 再集合, 把照片交上, 等成績.... 一共14個小時..... 累死啦!!

就像之前說的, 對著那些建築物, 一點感覺也沒有... 也只好拍些有的沒的..
謝謝我們的瘋狂拍攝組, 尤其是阿Sam....他實在是太搞笑了....你看看照片就知道了!

行程: Masjid Jamed - Jln Masjid India - St. Mary's Cathedral - Merdeka Square - Sultan Abdul Samad Building - Central Market - Kuan Ti Temple - China Town - Chan Sze Shu Yuen - Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall - KYM Building - Kuala Lumpur Railway Station

很多對吧? 不好意思的說, 從Chan Sze Shu Yuen開始, 我們是駕車的啦... 哈哈! 其他人都是走路的... 佩服佩服!

落选之作!

这是我第一次参加摄影比赛 - 拍摄我们著名的文化走廊比赛.

The Wonders Of Kuala Lumpur - The Heritage Trail Photography Contest.

当然，我落选了。。。

献丑了！这是小妹的失败之作。。。

经过这次，我真正的觉得，比赛并不是我杯茶。可能因为我是射手座吧，不能在框框里面做事。。。想东想西的。。总觉得拍出来的照片不符合主题，落败是理所当然的。。。 真的要检讨检讨。。。

好啦！失败宣言到此结束，我会把其他的拍摄点滴整理好，再po上来。。。

Penelope (Yr 2006)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romantic Comedy

last night, I have accidently bump into this movie in Astro, named - Penelope. This is a good story. Talking about this girl is born with a pig nose, and it was a curse many century ago in their family. The way to break the curse is to find a true love... as normal.

At the end, she cant find anyone, and decide to run away from family. And she started to accept herself as it is, and reveal her true face to everyone. One day, the curse just disappear. She return to his lovely face. By fact, the curse will only break when you love yourself as it is....

The story behind is so wonderful, before you ask someone to love you, you must first love yourself.. I think this is very important, isnt?

今天的日出!

 

今天的日出超棒!

紅通通的, 整顆慢慢的往上移.

可惜, 我只有手機在身.

不然, 我可拍得不停呢!

這太陽, 讓我目不轉睛.

差點忘了我應該是在跑步呢!

很不錯的開始!

加油!

05102009 5th Day in Ayutthaya (off Bangkok)

Ayutthaya, is a another provience off Bangkok. Is the old city being fired and hidden in the forest for many years. The city is founded in year 1350 by King U-Thong. The ruins of the old city now form the Ayutthaya historical park, which is recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

First, we went to visit the Bang Pa In Palace. Is the summer palace for the king. The place being managed very well, everything is just so beautiful.

Second, we went to this historical ruins WatYaiChaiMongKhol & Wat Phrasisanpethi, you can see everywhere has being destroyed by fire and all the head of the Buddha is being cut off for selling that time.

After visit to all the beautiful place, we departed and bring transfer to a river cruise for lunch and back to Bangkok. thru Chao Phraya River. The food is nice and the view along the river is nice. We are sitting in the open deck, it is windy and nice.

About 3+pm, we reach Bangkok. Transfer back to hotel, and we take the BTS going to Platinum Mall and shop again........ crazy sister and all.....Next, we went to Central World, have dinner, and take train back to hotel.

Thats all for today, again, my leg is not my leg anymore... can hardly feel it.. ha ha! walk too much!

This is the last day of the trip, tomorrow going back to KL lo. All in all, the weather is too good to be true, and Thailand is so clean, and plp is so nice to us. I will definately go back again.

Tomorrow, I will want to go and visit a temple near my hotel, I pass by it by van and it look nice...

04102009 4th Day in Kanchanaburi (Off Bangkok)

Kanchanaburi, is a state off Bangkok. This place are famous due the the World War II, alot of war prisoner is killed of building the famous River Kwae Railway... Many story behind it.

The first place we visit today is the cemetry. I must said, Thailand is doing it well. The place are managed perfectly, and the most respect feeling you can ever imagine. They are thankful toward what they have did for them...

The next stop, is the War Museum. They are showing all newspaper, things that they found from the war time, drawing, etc. We go thru it, and feel really sad about it... why WAR???? but we will never get the answer.

Next, we reach to the famous River Kwae Railway or Bridge of River Kwae. Alot of plp say this is River Kwai, but the guide told us: Kwae = River, Kwai = Cow.... The railway are builded for the easier travel from Burma to Thailand at the WW II. Heard that more than 10K plp died because of this. Later on, the American boomed the place, and give freedom to all the war prisoner at that time. You can see from the photo, the bridge originally round in shape, only the middle part is square, which that is the part being boomed, and rebuilded later. Now they use this railway for local transport and for tourist visit.

We have the chance to take a train ride in this famous river kwae. The train is the old type, no air-con, wooden in some part. The train passby some padi fields, corn fields, etc, The view is fantastic, The highlight of the train ride is passing by the wodden bridge, look dangerous, but it safe.

OK, enough of war story right?

The second part of today, we went to visit the famous Tiger Temple. Which all tiger being rared by the monk. all tiger being bring to the Tiger Valley for tourist to take photo. I really amazed how they can do it. Before this trip, I have search online, they are story about the monk drug the tigers, so that the tiger is blur and do not attack, and they suggest us not to visit. But I insisted. After I pay the visit, I dont have such a feeling. The tiger is really active, and they are playing with the monk. The monk told us, they are not tiger, but BIG CAT.... You can see from the photo, they really play and communicated with them like a pets. It is amazing!

The weather today are not too bad, although have some rain when we finish the train ride, lunch and the tiger temple visit, but soon after awhile when we reach the tiger valley, the rain stop. I must say Im really lucky .....

At night, we walk toward Suan Lum night market, I must say the food there is "SUCK" and expensive, never try and eat there. But other than this, everything is good, stuff is cheap too, by condition: bargain......

03102009 3rd Day Shopping In Bangkok

Today, is our planned shopping day, just that we cant imagine that we have actually go until max 13 hrs. Sunny and bright day!

Oh my god! the market are so huge, we saw the roof top of the market when we are on BTS, it is HUGE! right after we get off the sky train, we went to the tourist center, took the map, and went straight in. We shop and shop and shop and eat all the way. We spend a few hours there, and decide to move on to next destination, cos of the sun and the clowd too.

The next stop is Siam Paragon. We just chill out there, have the Pork Burger from MC'D, and shop for CDs there. The CD price here are abit lower compare to KL, we bought some.

Next, we went to the famous MBK, when we reach there, we saw some concert and fashion show. Then due to all our legs are in pain.. ha ha... we went for a foot massage, and continue our shopping war. Shop til drop! ha ha!

The long tail speedboat that James Bond using? remember? hei hei.... after that, we being transfer to the small boat, which cost us additional of 150BHT each, just wanna experience what the local plp do for their living, didnt buy anything except foods and drinks.

The stuff here are over price, except that you can ask for discount, at least 50-70 percent. But is a good experience.

Next, is the famous sleeping buddha temle named: Wat Pho - The Reclining Temple. huge buddda sleeping in the center surround by great painting. Besides the buddha, Im suprise to see alot of chinese statue around this temple, then I asked the guide, then he told us, before this place being converted into temples, is a residence area for a chinese which he do transport service, thats explains it.

This is the last stop for today, we being transfered back to Hotel, and then have some rest, then went for our Seafood dinner in Samboon Seafood Restaurant that being introduce by Toh, the food are not too expensive, and taste ok. You can try when you are here. After dinner, we walk around Silom Rd & Surawong Rd.

Yesterday, we go to the Surowong street, to try the pork noodle, duck noodle.. It was so nice.... after the wonderful dinner, we went to the mart to get some mineral water, and we found some special stuff which we cannot find in KL, like some slice bread with milk, with kaya, with butter being put into a plastic bag and sell for 10BHT......hmmmm... wonder if it nice, will definately try it and tell u later......

OK, just woke up, and continue today journey, keep my finger cross for today weather. See ya!
