Children: Playing hide and seek?

It's always fun to observe children exploring their world. Have nothing to worry about, spending most of the time playing. Children will seek opportunities to play, either playing with friends or by themself. 

This photo was taken in January this year. Getting bored while waiting for his sister to recieve her medal, my son spent his time exploring the school's compound (of course I had to monitor him) and playing by himself and sometimes urged me to play with him. In one occasion, he played 'hiding', but hiding behind a steel pole. Thus I took this shot.

It's funny, how naive they are.... :)     

Thank you.

Fauna: Taman Pertanian Shah Alam @ Shah Alam Agro Park

These shots were taken a long time ago on 5 Dec 2010 when me and my family visited the Shah Alam Agro-Park a.k.a. Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam located at Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

Basically, this park demonstrates the agricultural activities in Malaysia together with its flora and fauna. The area is big enough that we were unable to explore the whole area even that we have been there twice.

These photos were taken while we were resting near a pond within the agro-park. 

Please enjoy the photos.

Thank you.

View from the side mirror

Assalamualaikum,

During the journey from Ipoh to KL on19 May 2011, I sat at the front passenger seat when suddenly I realized the beautiful scenery of the sunset, seen through the side mirror. Thus, I took several photos of the sunset. It was quite tricky at first as the vehicle was on the move, so I have to use both my hand and my body as the damper to absorb the movement and vibration of the vehicle. 

This photo of school children was captured at Simpang Pulai earlier on the same day

These two photos were my only best shot of the beautiful sunset.

Thank you.

Children: Iman

Assalamualaikum,

Children, especially boys tend to be very active and hard to get them to stand still even for a while. However, it is good to see them active. As parents, we see happiness in them as our own happiness. If they only sit and do nothing, we will be worrying, what has gone wrong with them.

In the morning, still smart and handsome....

A bit tired after his activities...

At noon.....

Enjoy the photos....

Rain

It is raining! Especially in the afternoon. It's hard to say whether we are in a rainy season or not as some days we experienced hot sunny days and the other days, raining heavily. And some days, we experienced hot sunny day in the morning, and rain and thunderstorm in the evening. 

Located not far from the Equator Line, Malaysia experienced a lot of rain throughout the years from January to December. In the past decades(during the 80s and 90s), we might see a rainfall trend in which most of the rainfall occurred during the wet season from October to January. However, there is no distinctive trend to be seen nowadays. Based on observation of rainfall in 2011, the peaks of the rainfall trend were in April and August. However, we are yet to see the whole pattern till the end of 2011.   

The chaotic trend of rainfall not only experienced in Malaysia, but also throughout the world. Thailand, for example is currently experiencing flood in Bangkok due to over-flow of Chao Praya River. Based on the news, the flood will only subside in the next 6 weeks.  

While looking at the sky, let see what we can get for the camera. 

Please enjoy the photos.

Thank you.

Children: At KLIA



On 12 September 2011, our family gathered at KLIA accompanying my brother in-law before his departure to Bintulu, Sarawak for his newly assigned post. While waiting for the departure call, the children seemed restless. My son running here and there. It was a good time for them, spent time together again, playing and playing.... before being separated again by their parents... hehehe  

This young 'hero' barely stand still, keep the time running by running here and there

This young girl, waited for the time to pass by...

At one occasion, my son tried to make friend with this toddler.....

Suddenly, her brother came by....  'protecting' his sister.... hehehe

Please enjoy the photos. Thank you.

Musician

In 22 September 2011, PLUS has arranged 'Long Service Award' event for some of its staffs. This was followed by 'Jamuan Hari Raya Idilfitri 2011' for all staffs. While having nice buffet meals, we were entertained by a group of musician in the event.

To get a good photographs in the Banquet Hall with low lighting require patient and skills. I had to increase to ISO800 with maximum aperture opening in order to have just nice exposure.     

This young lady was the singer  - with wonderful voice...

Thank you.
