Just before the sharp bend around the corner. It is a good turn.

The old temple at the tip of the bend, turn left only. Temple sits on surrounding walls.

Yesterday... (Fishing at Pulau Babi, Sibu)

Fishing leisurely and basking in evening shine bliss of sunset in Sibu's Rajang River.

Yesterday(Beatles), All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday...

Window on Sibu

Sibu. My birth place. A town of hardworking people. The New 'Foochow' or Fuzhou.

Sarawak, Land of Hornbill

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend [Carole King:Tapestry]

Outdoor Photography #4 -Scene #2

Evening view at upcountry mountains, flamed clouds, white clouds, blue sky, dark clouds. Mountain silhouette. Breathe the crisp country air.

Sibu #4 - 'Ballet' Dancing Trees

It appears enticing as the silhouette against the evening sunset makes it interesting and a lovely sight, and it looks a little like Ballet dance posture with the branches folding outward...Play a little music, do a little ballet dance routine and we have a show...(imagination & fantasy).

A Tribute to all my teachers (Sibu)

They who taught me since Transition Class to Form 5. I salute each of them.

Outdoor Photography #4 -Scene #1

I call it Orphaned Branch, as the main tree has gone and there seems to be no 'parent' to this child. It starts to branch out on its own, making its own living in this part of world. How long can it survive on its own?

When I see this branch, I start to imagine things and think of how nice things can be. It has a bright future, let us hope for that. It is the unique perfect angle to reach out, almost at 45 degrees, that this branch's geometry catches my attention. The foilage and leaves going upwards and inward, making me feel it has very much balanced its growth.

Outdoor Photography #3 - Scene #1

Natural rocks and water after late afternoon heavy rain, in tropical rainforest environment.

Ms J #2 - baptised in river?

Ths little girl seems to be holding up her hand and performing baptisim ceremony on Ms J, who is enjoying her favorite float style in the river (or sea if she goes to beach) at Kpg Mongkos.

Sibu #2 - Sungai Merah Heritage Walk

Sungai Merah means Red River. Many years ago, this river water was dark red due to the roots of mangrove and other plants along the riverbanks. The history of Sungai Merah can be traced back to 1900 when pioneer from China called Wong Nai Siong brought groups of young men and women in boats to arrive here for first settlement.

Over the last few years, most of the 2-storey wooden shops built during the 1900s era were either burnt down by fire and rebuilt, or replaced by new ones. Thank you for visiting, drop your comments below.

You Are So Beautiful To Me #1

The above are 2 component photos (experimental) taken and cut/paste zigsaw-style to form an image. Portrait is really very challenging photography that needs fine details and attention to expression, posture and mood. Lighting plays very important role. The theme of this post is...

You Are So Beautiful To Me - 1 (version by Joe Cocker 1974 Album, lyrics below).

You are so beautiful To me

You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful To me
