“Operator, Get Me An Exit!”

Something semi-abstract this time round… While going through some of the pictures that I took while on my drive-up holiday to Desaru, Malaysia last August, I came across this interesting backlit/silhouette study of telephone stands by one of the beaches on the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia. The colours and the lighting attracted me first. With some help from mum and CY, we started making abstract shots of hand silhouettes against the brilliant backlit green of the stands. This shot is one of my favourites that resulted from the exercise 🙂

The title should be familiar to those who have watched the Matrix 😉 Of course, the green here is also consistent with the Matrix theme 🙂

“I’m Not Impressed…”


I was going through my collection of pictures taken last year when I came across this one that was taken at the Kota Tinggi waterfalls during my trip to Desaru in August 2004. The kid “washing” his hair, seeming trying to impress his friend is the same one seen in “Woo Hoo…” and “Wheeeeeee…”. I thought the expression of his friend sitting next to him said it all: “I’m not impressed!”

Symphony of Lights Revisited


Three weeks after returning from my trip to Hong Kong, good memories of my trip still linger whenever I look at the photographs I took. This particular one of the Symphony of Lights by the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront evoked memories… of visiting the Teddy Bear Kingdom before the show with CY, grabbing a quick dinner (McDonald’s by the waterfront) so as not to miss the Symphony, hurried and frantic setting up of the tripod/camera when the show started, of walking back to our hotel after, and having dinner part 2 (barbequed pork and roast duck, Hong Kong Kai Lan with mini cup-noodles *yum*) after we got back. How I wish I was still on holiday :p
