in may 2007, together with 4 other colleagues, we conquered the infamous quartz hill ridge hill of bukit tabur near taman melawati. however i was scared shitless of the dangerous situation i put myself in performing the death defying stunt in climbing those razor sharp quartz. when we finally climbed down and reached the foot of the hill, i was relieved to come out in one piece and totally forgotten to look back and snapped a photo of the behemoth. 3 months later i found myself driving in the vicinity and stopped to make peace and pay respect. taken on an afternoon in august 2007 facing northeast. previous post on the subject here.

a medieval castle archictecture cum parking lot in colmar tropicale is beautified by a well maintained fountain. the only thing missing is a moat surrounding the fortress, or else i’d be led to believe that i was somewhere in europe, not. august 2007.

a trip to the alpine shire of victoria state would not be completed without a consolation photo of the local church, the bright uniting church at ireland st. although the brick architecture is quite modern, during the falls season, it is quite dreamily exhilirating. alas mine was taken in winter. june 2010.

while exploring the many functions of the new s95 at the office yesterday, i realised that the weather was quite gracious enough for some photo testing. from the 13th floor i walked to the far end of the block, opened the emergency door and came into the landing of the emergency stairs. oh and the view was magnificent. using the colour accent function and facing southeast (with a little bout of vertigo), i picked the green to maintain the foliage on the foreground while leaving the dense concrete and skyline of kuala lumpur downtown in monochrome. noon august 2011.
