Pre-Merdeka Celebrations

Our club, Satria GTi Club was invited to join the Merdeka countdown on the 30th August 2008. We were also invited to open up a booth to display our convoy equipments and achievements.

The flight home

The short break for Faridah and her son is over. She got the flight departed at 10:25am to Singapore for a 1 hour transit before continuing her journey to Zürich flughafen. Zul, Faridah's husband must be delighted to see Faridah and especially Firdaus again as he can now walk on his own!

Getting ready to board the car.

That's a sheep alright hehe

Sadly we have to say Selamat Tinggal or Auf Wiedersehen to her. Hopefully to see her whole family again in Christmas

Had dinner later that night with my wife at Uptown Damansara. I had Kuey Tiow and my wife had some roasted cockels with some sauce and some roasted tofu.

Firdaus having fun

My sister, Faridah and her son, Firdaus came to Malaysia for a short break last week. I had a chance to bring Firdaus who has started to walk on his own to a playground near my house. Firdaus had a lot of fun today!

The playground is there, Firdaus :)

That looks like fun

Now somebody get me up there, now!

Peek-a-boo!

Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia

Went to Teluk Intan last weekend and took a picture of the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan. According to Wikipedia, the Leaning Tower was built in 1885 and it started to tilt 4 years later due to an underground stream running under it. The tower was used to store water and supplies it to the surrounding areas. There is also a clock which rings every 15 minutes and ships used the tower as a beacon into Teluk Intan Port. Currently, the tower no longer holds water and it serves as a tourist attraction and reports time to the townfolk of Teluk Intan.

Lake Chini & Teluk Chempedak Trip

On the 2nd August 2008, my wife and I went to Pahang to attend my brother in-law's engagement ceremony. After the ceremony, we went to Lake Chini and Teluk Chempedak for some sightseeing. The weather was a bit hot but it didn't dampen my urge for some snaps.

Some of the toys that were on sale at Teluk Chempedak beach. It's kind of a windmill toy.

Really  fiery red flower. It looks like it is going to catch on fire at any moment.
