Genting Trip

Well, it was same old same old.. Decided to head there early. So i went with my brother's car..

Stopped by Ipoh for some Dim Sum over at this place.


Well foods not too shabby here.

Then well, headed over there. And it was foggy.. day in and day out.. it was raining as well.. So much for photography. The indoors are SO CROWDED a simple stop to snap a picture, you would have someone bumping into you.


See what I mean?


X.X


Hard to think that there are strawberries from genting as well .. unexpected.

EXAMS ARE OVER + seafood

Did several things today. First thing was I received and almost MIssion Impossible style of a task this morning. woke up at 8 ( thank god) and proceeded the mission and succeeded :P

Mission being : Collect MIS notes from Jean for last minute study . Well, thanks Jean for sharing!

Then, While in the exam hall, the lot of us went into the hall LATE. While also, Being the FIRST to leave. Aren't we just great?

Well that's not the main event for me today,
In the hobby zone, Proceeded to order my D300s battery Grip. Namely the MB-D10. It's bound to arrive tomorrow.

Oh I forgot to mention.

EXAMS ARE OVER!! -finally

So what do we do? We celebrate! How? head to Kepala batas to enjoy some fresh and cheap seafood.

Here's a picture to show you what I mean


Sorry for the bad picture, Taken with iPhone

Steamed Giant Pomfret(Tau teh) 
(Image might not be big but this particular fish is BIGGER than an A4 paper )
Fried fish? good stuff though
Stir fried Chili Squid < top right >
Chili Crab x 3
Curry XL sized prawns < bottom left >
1st time seeing this = Steamed Black Pomfret (Or chiau) < bottom right>
And finally, some Petai = GREAT STUFF < far bottom right >

ALL THIS IS SERVED FOR 5 PAX. Indeed this is a FEAST!

And how much does this all COST?

NO MORE THAN RM 250!!

I belive that is something to shout about. On the island(Penang) for such a meal it will easily cost you RM 5XX

Well that's what happened today, So much for slimming down. FOR THE FOODIES!

Kek Lok Si's Giant Kuan Yin Statue Plaza

It's the latest attraction added in the Pearl Of the Orient. And it is indeed.. GRAND.

Also, this would be my maiden photog. trip for my new baby. Along with Joseph, we went ahead and snap , snap, snipe, and snap.


The moment I reached, had one MAJOR problem. Parking.

Well one thign I had to complain about this trip is.. IT WAS FRIGGIN HOT . sweating my !@$ out.

While walking up the path, The new Roof was already in FULL VIEW. and it looks good. even from afar.



Not bad what.


I like this shot.




Feel it's grandness!!

Okay, I'll be posting random shots and that'll be it.

It's a place where you'd need to actually see it for yourself to feel the grandness





Candles...

No idea who this is, Just needed to photograph someone praying


~ Thats all for now ~

Photography? MAJOR REVAMP

I started out this blog a year ago , with my trusty OLD MINOLTA D1mage A1 as my main photo slave.. it served me well..


Good old days.

Then my brother decided to quit DSLR and threw his Nikon D40x at me. Of course, I welcomed it with open arms :D



Thanks!!

Well, used it for a good 2 years and it has proven to have limit my wants..

With help from Dom's DSLR ( the Nikon D90 ) managed to poison by brother for an upgrade.

Guess what?

he did.
