Yet Another Open House


This time is was with my sister-in-law's relatives, who are Johorians. They had a family gathering cum birthday party. The light was kinda dim and thanks to my Nikon D700 and Sigma 30mm f1.4, I managed to photograph the whole event without using flash.

Fun and laughter at the Johorian open house.....

A Visit to Bentong Famly


My mum's kampung is Bentong, and she decided to make a visit to meet the relatives there. Tok Busu has a new home, which he acquired recently after selling his land. The new home is actually quite near to his old house. Needless to say, I took the opportunity to grab as many pictures of the nice bungalow.

Take a look at Bentong's new home.....

More Raya Open Houses


Well, I managed to be invited to two office organised open house events, and savoured a few dishes, like Nasi Kerabu and Top Hats. My tummy now is definitely showing and I better spend a bit more time at the gym :0

Join me in the open house celebrations....

Manjalara Mosque


On route to one of my officemate's Raya open house, I stopped by this mosque for afternoon prayers. It had nice colourful stained glass windows and a small courtyard that reminded me of some of the middle-Eastern designs.


Take a closer look at the Manjalara Mosque....

Hari Raya Open Houses




As usual, it is traditional to visit friends and relatives as part of the month-long Raya celebrations. A big one was held at my HQ office for our ICT Division, and that went well, with stage performances of songs and dance. A smaller one was held at my officemate and boss' home and the lemang and rendang there was delicious.

Wackos Night Out


My wacko friend from Down Under, Anush, came over for a working trip, so we invited her out for a Saturday dinner and dance! We had Portuguese dishes at Asian Heritage Row and then later went to Crowne Plaza Hotel to dance to hip-hop music.


Join us on a crazy wacko niteout.....

VW GTi Service


My car was due for its second maintenance service, which is at its 30,000km interval. All went well at the Volkswagen Service Centre in PJ, and then I sent my car for wheel balancing and alignment, at my usual workshop in TTDI. They found two nails in my rear tyre, which they repaired by patching, but other than that, my car was in tip top condition.....

See my car's wheel being serviced.....
