Picnic in a Jungle

My brother and I decided to venture to another nature spot, this time at Ulu Yam. I think the streams and forests here are more scenic than Janda Baik, and its actually closer to KL. You'll also get to see a dam that is quite beautiful, and pass thru some small rustic looking towns.

Stroll thru Nature

My brother and I took a drive to the village town of Janda Baik and snapped away several pictures of the tropical landscape found there. You can find lots of rainforested hills, watery streams, pretty kampung homes, and a few animals fielding for food....

You can see more of Janda Baik here.....

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.

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.
