Well, I'd first like to apologize for being crappy at photography and being hexed by the curse of bad timing (always!
)..so my pictures might not look um, 5 star. ^^;
Kuching, Malaysia{You don't have to travel far to enjoy the sights ok. }One morning in Kuching, Malaysia.
My best friend was studying there in Swinburne University and I was there for a year with him. XD
This isn't photoshopped or tampered with, and it's the most beautiful dawn I've seen till date...at least, at the convenience of your own home of course. :\
On a road trip to Sibu, Malaysia, about several hundred kms' away from Kuching. Try to remember that their roads were littered with pot holes and it was literally, like a roller coaster /\/\/\ <-- Example of the terrain.
Yeah, so we got alot of road sickness, but the views along the way were
so worth it cuz everywhere was frickin' lush greenery - like almost untouched, unbridled wilderness.
Night time was scary cuz there was absolutely NO lights (not even those reflective road bump thingies you see on the roads in most countries) so we never knew where was a turn (until last min, right in front of the car) nor cliff. Plus nights were ALWAYS foggy - cannot see less than a metre away and even worse...raining!!
I saw a topless auntie in one kampung area by the roadside at her balcony doing the morning laundry but that's a bit too wacko and lewd to put up and plus DUH I didn't (want to) take a picture!! @_@
I know. It's just a derelict kampung right? Well, I think it's nice. In a rickety sort of way.
Looks like the perfect setting for The Ring 3. Sadako coming out of the zen pond with the rock on her head.
But seriously, there's something so calm and serene about it. Taken at Taman Bayada-something park. Forgot lah. I can't remember foreign names for nuts.
I took this because of the lizard but it came out looking pretty nice. At the Sarawak Cultural Village.
Traditional kampungs of the indigenous people of East Malaysia. I didn't know that the present Malays of Malaysia aren't the original people but immigrants. At the Sarawak Cultural Village, they have the history of the indigenous people of Malaysia. :\
Btw...that staircase there was carved from just one log.
Interiors of the dwellings of just one of several indigenous cultures in that Cultural village.
A bridge of bamboo! Wow!
Melbourne, AustraliaSince this forum has so many Melbourne residing Singaporeans I don't think I need to post any like, scenery pics and so on...because I assume everyone's like been there, done that.
But I'll try to post some interesting pics.
Some big protest going on against the Iraq war & the whole Mid-east conflict. Seems to focus more on the Israel-Palestine conflict though.
Interesting how they bring their kids along like its a Sunday picnic.
Look at the placard with Bush's face on it. My favourite part of the Protest picture series.
Marching to Flinders St Station.
