Friendship?

May be not.


There is no loyalty.


In fact in some cases, friendship can be traded with posh dinners and sponsored holidays.


It's just CHEAP.


CHEAP.


CHEAP.


CHEAP.

901

PKR strategist never planned for Anwar acquittal. 

From a political angle, they had wished that the court would find him guilty. 

They wanted to bring 100K people but only 5K turn up. 

They wanted to show their protest and had hoped that the police would act aggressively so that they can capitalize on the issue. 

The police shocked them by granting them the approval. 

Despite signing a conditional approval, they twisted the police approval with several series of press release and attacked the KL police. 

Between a twisted tongue of a politician and the police, I would believe the police.

Ubud Revisited


Visited Ubud again.

Not much changes from the last time I came here.

I made a point to have lunch at Bebek Bengil - super delicious crispy duck with beautiful surrounding.

I ate like a pig.

Green





Gili Trawangan, Lombok. The main form of transportation besides horse carts. 


No mopeds, no cars 


Heaven!






Cahaya Gili Trawangan 1

Between sunset cocktails and dinner, it was quite pleasant to walk along the beach of Gili. Everybody was just relaxed and laid back. Some enjoying their Bintang beer. I had a scoop of gelato.

A couple of local juggler boys performed on the beach. Very friendly and quite talented.










Bali 2011 - 2012




This what I think about BALI as I was there last week. Yup, my 4th I think.


There is a new place call POTATO HEAD which is really nice to have your brunch, lunch or cocktail watching the sun set with some music in the air.






If you don't like such a posh setting for sunset, Karma on Batu Belig (which is just minutes from Seminyak.






One of my favorite restaurants for lunch is Warung Italia on Jalan Kunti No 2 is really nice casual place for Italian lunch. Food delicious and authentic and very reasonably priced. The setting is vary casual. I especially like it.








If you ever reach Ubud (which I think you should even if you have been there). Stay until dinner time and have crispy duck at Bebek Bengil. At night the ambience of the place is simply amazing. Much better than during the day.








And..... if u want to have a intimate dinner, I would like to recommend La Luciolas on Oberoi Rd., Kayu Aya Beach, Legian, Seminyak. 








Do make a point to wear something nice and you can just enjoy the dinner and absorb the ambience. It's actually by the beach with spectacular landscape and lightings.








Yes, I do know a driver with a good car. The name is Nyioman. The rate is IDR350 per day for 10 hours. Minyak included. I think thats very competitive. Do tell if you are keen.







Enjoy.

The Sterling, Melaka


I was recently requested by a good friend to photograph a new hotel in Melaka her company is managing. It's a very nice little hotel with colonial concept. Even the staff dressed in khaki pants and socks pulled up to knee height.

This photo was an accident. The same issue, sunrise shot. The hotel room is too cold, the lens fogged up.

I kind of like this mistake.

Very foggy.

Behind the Scenes






Dentist Appointment


While waiting for my turn to see the dentist in Kuantan. Very good service - not that cheaper though...

Even though I go to Kuantan almost every week for the past 3 to 4 years, the view of the sun rise from my balcony is my favorite moments.


I can never get tired of it. 






To me, everyday is different.
