Taman Negara (National Park), Pahang

My latest obsession

Its been ages (more than 2 decades) since my last visit to this place. All my god-uncles had been missing me so bad that I brought along my first born who is at the same age as I was when I first stepped foot at this great land to change their missing anger - LOL...

Padi field - The Malaysian & Asian diet

Do you eat rice??

Another pitstop from le old road towards Taiping, Perak. This time around with perfect clouds I stopped at a padi field. Padi which produces rice is one of the biggest diet in Asia where in my country Malaysia is a large part of our diet. Yup, we have rice at nearly every part of our meal.

Choose your road to your destiny

Which will be your road?

This le old road to Taiping, Perak surely makes a shutter addict like me on a non-stop pitstops by the road side just to get a view of this!! - LOL.

Loneliness

Lonely road, Lonely hearts, Lonely mind

Been away again for a while. Lots had happened only leaving me lonely everywhere. But on every dark cloud, there is always a silver lining. I only have my thanks to the Almighty that showed me the path, that gave me strength and I don't want to bore people with it. So lets go on with this picture's story...

In the ruins

Finding life in the ruins

This was another stop during our road trip using the old road going back to the wife's hometown. Seeing a land with a lot of dying trees made me stop on this uneven road. Looking for a spot to stop the car was even more challenging than placing that tripod for a setup. This part of the road was really "hip-hop" but with all the green scenery we saw and then this, that small voice inside me just told me to stop. Quite sad though to see this because I wondered when didn't they make use of the chopped trees for something at least. Well time will tell...

Finding life in the decay

I went in nearer to even seeing more decay even the stream was very bad seen. I thought I could see any signs of life but on some small trees were coming. I remember a car was honking at me giving support that made me wonder what was he supporting at "me shooting at his place" or (please not be) "reporting this to the press". What ever it was, it was still a nice spot to stop.

Sungai / River - The old road drive towards hometown

(click photo for larger view)

This was another shot/pit stop we made during our journey towards the wife's hometown. 

We first swept the old road earlier this year due to the massive traffic of a festive season that held the traffic on standstill just 3 minutes drive after the toll booth. During that time I didn't had my camera as it was sent for repairs due to shutter failure. But during that drive, I never left my third eye behind so does my creative director aka the wife (LOL)!! She was the person who supported me for every scenery shoots. Just as what was said by Sally in Cars; "People don't just drive any more", and boy was she right!! The highway sure saved time but then you'll miss the sceneries and foods the road had to offer. Though we had to stop multiple of times at a lonely winding road but the stops were well worth it (well to me at least)!!
