It is possible that I might want to retire in Malacca. It has so much character, and offers so much heritage and yet has modern amenities. And who wouldn’t want to retire in a place which has some kind of character? Saying that, all the things I find curious and charming are most likely pedestrian […]

The good bachelor
In October, I signed up for a silent retreat at Maranatha House in Tanarimba Janda Baik, on the border of the Selangor and Pahang state line. The retreat was set in a property development, which had country homes of people who have much more money than I do.
Ipoh
Recently, before I left my old job, I had the opportunity to go up to Ipoh. However, since it was a rushed trip (I mean, how can anyone enjoy holidays done during one teeny tiny weekend?), I only managed a few photos. And since the two days whizzed by so fast, I just remembered it […]
Detour: Fraser’s Hill 05 (Part 2)
I spend the days driving around, or walking around taking pictures. We even went to places and roads I had never been to before. That’s not to say that Fraser’s is very big, it’s actually quite small, but there were so many little corners and nooks I had never known existed before. E and I […]
Detour: Fraser’s Hill 05 (Part 1)
I went on a mini-holiday to Fraser’s Hill recently, and decided to couple that with a little bit of work. The end result is basically that I can’t re-produce what I am doing for that article here. However, I do have some extra pictures, so I guess this will end up more as a photo […]
We’ll be coming round the mountain, when we come!
Well, techically a hill, not mountain. After having lived all my life in Petaling Jaya, more than three decades no less, I’ve never been up Gasing Hill. Unbelievable, even to me, considering I spent some time in the Methodist Primary School nearby. It is the only “green lung” within the whole of Petaling Jaya. Unfortunately […]
Putra Jaya through a phone lens
When I bought my new Sony Ericsson K300i a few months ago, I thought it’d be fun to do a whole blog just using my camera phone. Of course, it won’t be as clear as my Nikon digital camera, but I thought it would be good to mix the technology, see the results, and if […]
Detour – Kuching 04 #3
We decided to take it easy the next day. I was feeling quite washed out from the day before, especially the amount of running I did in the rain. So we just had a very very lazy breakfast, then I took my camera down to the town centre to explore. One of the first things […]
Detour – Kuching 04 #2
The next morning, we woke up at a decent hour, and headed out for brunch. I dashed out to a little traffic junction nearby, just to take a photo of another cat monument (“Kuching” means “cat” in English). There is a cat monument right in front of the hotel, and just two streets down was […]
