Introducing Ko, a girl with an attitude! Well, maybe she looks like one la, but she’s a very friendly person.

Sherrina, I think if you follow my blog you’ll know who she is.

Nicole, first time meeting her. Hello.

She’s not outdated yet wearing that Argentina jersey while we were having this shoot. Because the shoot took place before World Cup 2010.

After our shoot, we started playing kick-the-wall-and-jump shots. This is Clive’s attempt.

Onnyee surfing the wall.

Sherrina dancing with the wall. I think she’s doing the Cha-Cha.

Nicole rushing back from the shoot cos she saw the sky was dark and it was going to rain.

Sherrina’s superb pose! Got the Michael Jackson feel! Aaoouuu~~

The 3 models involved in this themed shoot.

This shoot ended up very fun for all of us. Cos we have the location all for ourselves without other people disturbing us. Wanna say thank you to everyone involved in this.

This time we went to another bridge further down the famous Lover’s Bridge.

A small bridge accessing the parked fishing boats.

Introducing Belle. She and Charlene were featured in another Clive’s project before.

And this is Charlene.

A contrasting picture with a chaotic background and Charlene.

Belle waiting for her turn to be shot.

You will fall in between the boats if you’re not careful. But Belle, she’s a pro.

Super hot sun blasting our models.

While taking a break, Belle and Charlene became their own photographer and model.

Overseeing the Lover’s Bridge on the far side.

Another gang of photographers were also resting at the pondok where we’re at. One of the girl wearing a cowboy hat were resting there. *Snapz*

The fence is the subject in this photo.

Look at those blue eyes! @_@

Proof of I’m not the only one who always hold the lightbox.

After we finished shooting on the pondok, we went under it! Fully utilizing the pondok itself.

Sisters shot!

Charlene decided to take a walk down the beach.

Tracks from the all terrain vehicles that you can rent there.

Bicycle of a worker. I think they went there catching clams or something.

That’s it. Thanks for watching. Hope to update my blog more frequently.

What you can see around the factory are logs lying all around in a very organized method.

Logs are arranged nicely for peeling.

Peeled skin.

Looking to the other side of the river, logs just shipped from the mangrove forest.

Puppies that will grow into guard dogs for the charcoal factory.

Fire started to burn the logs into becoming charcoals.

All of us going around finding nice angles to shoot.

After we’ve been there for a while, the sun rises and it gave the whole place a golden glow!

Glowing hair~

Workers travel around the factory by bikes.

Bricks storage.  Bricks are used to close up the kiln when the logs are burning inside.

The whole inner floor is filled with ashes from the burning.

Sunlight going through the wooden wall.

My shadow.

Striped.

Not sure if they can tell the time with the shadow casted on the floor or not.

More baking!

Dusty.

After the charcoal factory, we went to this fishing village nearby. Need to take a 20 cents boat ride over to the island itself.

Salted fish drying under the hot sun.

Coloured wall!!!

Monkeys on roof. They came out from the forest to take food from the houses around I think.

Nicely tilted shadow.

They are using fishing net as fence.

Window looking into the house.

Siewmei acting like she’s going out from the house. Good acting!

Wooden planks as path on top of  a ground of cockles shell.

Behn on the boat ride back to the main land.

After the fishing village, we got a rare chance of visiting this prawn farm. And in the photo, is one of the boss and our guide. It was a very informative visit.

Prawn pond next to the mangrove forest.

Spinning blades to generate oxygen to the water. (I think)

After the prawn farm, we actually walked into one of the mangrove forest that is built with walk ways and chalet for people to stay.

Nikon ad.

Light shone on part of the tree highlighting the smaller branches.

A blocked path with lots of leaves lying around.

Here they are! The brother and sister team who organized the whole trip. Sherrina and Behn. Thanks again.
This is where we waited for our transport up Maxwell Hill. The ride was quite scary as the road conditions are really bad and only meant for their 4WD cars.

Up Maxwell Hill. Didn’t let go of the chance to shoot some portraits. Hehe.

Siewmei hiding behind flowers. Hahaha. She said the photo looks like she’s eating the flowers. But I find the photo itself quite nice.

Behn the nature photographer in action.

Good morning~

Yan and Siewmei sitting on stairs going up a very nice banglo.

After walking around, we were tired and walk back to the place where the transport dropped up to wait for the transport back down. So since there’s some time, more portrait shooting! Hehe.

The sun was playing hide and seek with us for a while.

Sun shining on Siewmei’s face.

We don’t even know what we’re posing as. Hahaha. But I like the shot.

Relaxing~

The cafe at the waiting area.

Not sure if the plant finds the spiderweb annoying.

Still waiting for her transport to arrive.

Next to the cafe there are these benches for people to shoot!

A bit vintage feel.

Can you see me inside this photo?

Thanks to the boss who didn’t chase us out the cafe for shooting in the cafe.

Finally the transport going down is here.

After we drove for some time into FRIM, finally we reach a starting point of a jungle trekking path.

We walked up some stairs for a while, and we reached a platform, already we’re feeling the jungle is no joke. Leeches have started attacking me and Siewmei saw this huge millipede! It was very gross for me.

After some considerations, we decided it was too dangerous for us to continue. Haha. Because it rains also the night before, so leeches should be quite active.

On the way down back to where we park our car. Luckily this FRIM place is quite big, so we have somewhere else to shoot around. We’ll come back and conquer this trek next time.

Seems like FRIM itself is a community on it’s own. Houses are seen everywhere.

Yup, Siewmei and I wore our flip-flops for the jungle trekking.

Please notice there will be a lot of photos of plants and trees if you continue scrolling down.

We drove around and found this place. The Malay Tea House. So we walked into it and see if there are any nice stuffs for us to shoot.

Siewmei standing in front of a red house.

This is what she’s shooting in front of the red house.

The whole roof of this building is covered by plants.

A small hut for you to enjoy some Malay tea?

Shooting leaf on top of a brick with leaves carving.

Walking into the Malay Tea House itself.

Traditional lamps to light up the night.

We were starting to shoot stuffs around the inside of the Malay Tea House, but then one of the lady worker walked pass and told us no shooting. Because if we want to shoot, we’ll have to pay RM50. She was quite rude.

So we left the place and walked back outside and the sun shines on us just in time.

Looks like album cover or not? Hehe.

Looking up.

Stepped into our car again and drove to another jungle path. This one is more walkable for us because it was meant for mountain biking.

Once a while you’ll see people cycling out from the path. Should be quite fun cycling in the jungle.

Siewmei standing on a spot where the sun shines through.

More trees.

A river of sky.

Drove out car back out after that. We passed by this abandoned house along the way. We thought it looks quite nice so we went down and shoot again.

A big spider web behind the house.

Bamboo this time.

More trees.

And the last tree’s photo.

This time I’ve played with Adobe Lightroom a bit to edit my photos. Hope you like them as I do.

By the time I reached there it was already nearing 11pm. Shops were closing or closed.

Worker carrying their displays back into the shop.

Walking half way down the street, outside one of the closed shop, people were gathering around. Then I saw this long firecrackers hanging over the front door of it. Chinese new year is here.

While the other people were going home from work, the cleaners’ works had just started.

Due to the next day, which is the 14th February is Valentine’s Day, florists were working overtime tonight.

Dark and wet back alley. Is this a street on it’s own? Jalan Hang Lekir?

Reaching the end of the street, only I realized there’s a temple nearby. What a nice coincidence, due to Chinese New Year, there were a lot of people there worshiping to pray for a good year ahead.

Squeezed ourselves into the temple that is filled with smokes from the joss sticks.

The spiral joss sticks that’s hanging over our head.

The mini library for the fortune teller. Get your fortune told here.

Uncle lighting up his joss sticks for the worshiping ritual.

Old and young, men and women, all hoping for a better future, that’s what we want.

Another shot of the spiral joss sticks.

A window outside the temple. Very nice detail.

One of the holy guard that is guarding the temple next to the main entrance of the temple.

Dragon pillar.

Beggars were all sitting just outside of the temple begging for food or money. But they’re very nicely seated and not causing any chaos because there were volunteered police there guarding.

After the temple, me and Victor started to walk back to where I parked my car. Got this shot from a closed stall, but the decorative lights outside the stall was still on. I guess is good for the Chinese New Year mood.

Very old-skool signage.

This was another shoot that I’m quite happy about. Hope you all like it too.

I was quite bored at home during the first day of Chinese New Year since most of my friends all went back to their hometown. So after my dinner I was looking for some place to go shoot some Chinese New Year stuffs, obviously since it was Chinese New Year. The first thing that came to my mind was Thean Hou Temple, 天后宮, which is located in Kuala Lumpur, near Mid Valley. There was a huge jam going up the temple, so I decided to park my car at the bottom of the hill and walk up, cos I saw quite some people doing that, so it should be safe.

So here I am, took me around 15 to 20 minutes to walk from bottom of the hill to the entrance of Thean Hou Temple. There were a lot of people, friends, and family going up there to worship for a good year to come. And since it was also Valentine’s day, you see a lot of couples go there to take pictures.

There were a lot of lanterns there, and the biggest one was most probably this dragon lantern. Lots of people queuing up to take picture with the dragon.

The main entrance of the temple. Very nice signage.

Dragon bokeh anyone?

Lanterns or Tanglungs were everywhere to celebrate Chinese New Year.

No more candle lanterns.

One of the signature scene for Thean Hou Temple is most probably this. I think due to the reason of saving energy, the “lanterns roof” had an interval where it’ll light up for a period of time and then it’ll be off.

Very very nice roof fixture built from money that are donated to the temple. The temple is basically surviving on donations.

Luckily the lanterns on the edge of the roofs are always on.

More lanterns!

A phoenix statue standing on the roof. The details on the statues here in Thean Hou Temple are really quite nice.

This is quite a funny shot for me. Do you notice anything abnormal in this photo? After I shot this photo and viewed it on my computer only I notice there was a camera flash diffuser on the edge there. It blended in quite well I must say.

Far shot of how the above “mini dragon head” roof fixture actually looks like.

A pillar of dragon and clouds (the Chinese style).

Finally the “lanterns roof” light up and this is how it looks like below.

Lanterns overdose! Hahaha.

Went back upstairs to shoot the “lanterns roof” from above.

Big and small lanterns aligned nicely.

The lanterns bokeh.

Close-up of the dragon pillar.

The main joss sticks “pot” at the entrance to the inner temple.

Looking up from beneath the “lanterns roof” to see the “Dragon Ball” on the highest roof of the temple.

Was quite happy with this shoot, manage to get some shots that I like. Hope you’ll like them too.

Basically, there’s really nothing much there, or we didn’t do our research before going there. What’s there we saw was beaches, empty beaches, long stretch of empty beaches. Not to say it’s not nice la, but just a little too plain.

We first reached this place call Gold Coast Bagan Lalang. What they’re building here is something like what you saw in Dubai, the palm-tree-formationed chalet. The resort is call Golden Palm Tree Water Villas.

Can’t really see the shape of the formation when we’re at the same level as the resort. But the empty beach + the resort view is quite nice.

Waveless beach. If you really wanna see the wave, you’ll have to walk damn far out.

Was very hot. Luckily we got umbrella to avoid the burn.

Liking the reflections.

A lake located opposite the beach.

Everybody loves lalang.

It was 11:04am based on Siewmei’s shadow.

Another side of the Golden Palm Tree Water Villas.

Casually shooting as we walk.

A resort next to the water villas.

Garden chair in the hot afternoon sun. Anybody wanna grill your butt?

A hut with pretty roof.

Arc made out of bamboos. How can not shoot? Hehe.

Cannot step on the grass.

Siewmei resting under a pondok. Was too cooling to continue back out.

At the entrance of the Resort, there’s some Chinese New Year decoration. The photo looks so Chinese New Year feel!

I guess this boat was parked here when the tide is high.

Baywatch tower.

Group photo time!

Siewmei walking along the beach stretch, there are a lot of monkeys around that area.

Walked out to see if there’s something to shoot.

Reflections again~

You would think one crab is following the other one, but crab walks sideways la! They’re just both going to the same place.

A shell with a slightly bigger crab hidden inside. Waited so long for it to come out.

Still not coming out lor.

Looks at the holes on the beach. They’re all crab holes.

Oasis.

Mudskippers was skipping around with deadly paste.

After some beach walking, it was around 2pm already. So we went back to Tanjung Sepat and back to the same restaurant we had our lunch the last time.

Ordered the same food.

Ah Mei Mian Fen Gao. Customizable noodles.

After the lunch, how can we don’t go to the Pao shop and enjoy the famous Pao of Tanjung Sepat. This is my favourite, the peanuts Pao.

Hai Yew Heng, 海友興, people come from around Malaysia to enjoy their specialty here.

That concluded this small photography trip. A casual and relaxing one. Next time you thinking of going to the beach, Morib is another choice for you, no need go all the way to Port Dickson.
