Quick snaps from my short visit to Newcastle, NSW back in late April 2011 (yes, I am working on the backlog! ^^). Photos here are taken at Nobbys Breakwater, Newcastle East. Clouds are great for landscape photography! Sun setting…

Byron Bay #3
The Byron Bay series is back with a few new photos! FO Wong and Ci-man joins me on the Easter weekend for a sunrise shot in Byron Bay. Brilliant weather this time, but still very cloudy for a perfect sunrise. Easily distracted, Wong points his camera into the wrong direction. The egg yolk just above … Continue reading »
Krakow in autumn
Back in October 2010, I visited Krakow for the second time. This autumn trip was much more enjoyable than the one in summer a few months ago. Perhaps 20 years of tropical weather makes the colder weather all of a sudden much more enjoyable! Krakow is unbelievably, amazingly, extraordinarily beautiful in autumn! Blue skies, cool … Continue reading »
Hong Kong #2
Hong Kong, like many other Asian cities, is a modern hub struggling to preserve its olden (golden) days’ culture. It wants to move forward in the worldwide rat race of being a world leader in just about anything, but has to be so careful as over-modernisation may risk the younger generations losing grip on its … Continue reading »
Macau #2
As promised earlier this year, here’s part 2 of the Macau photos. Walking along the old streets of Macau. These 3 shots were taken near the infamous Red Market (紅街市). Top left: Jar of cookies. Bottom left: Feather duster. Also a popular ‘weapon’ in Asia to handle naughty kids. Right: This uncle has 2 trolleys … Continue reading »
Macau #1
Macau – Hong Kong’s good ol’ neighbour. Homeland of the infamous Portuguese custard tarts (葡撻). If you ever watched HKTVB’s TV series, this will not be unfamiliar to your eyes. Our first stop in Macau was The Venetian Macao. Opened in August 2007 and proudly owned by the Las Vegas Sands, this is the world’s … Continue reading »
Hong Kong #1
Hong Kong, the city that never sleeps. I was there in September for a brief 5 days with my parents. My first visit and I wish it could have been a little longer as the weather wasn’t on our side for almost 2 complete days. Tropical cyclone Fanapi was offcoast but the effects were unbelievably … Continue reading »
Hilton Melbourne Airport
Had a brilliant offer for a nightstop in Melbourne when returning from my 3-week annual leave not too long ago. Flew MH129 from KUL to MEL. Connecting flight wasn’t until the next day, which happened to be the day where Virgin Blue staff had to perform manual check-in for the second time in the week. … Continue reading »
Byron Bay #2
Sometimes it’s worth braving the weather for some decent photographs. Okay, fine, it was only drizzling. But it still takes courage to walk on the slippery path and protect the lens from unwanted “contamination”. Bad weather does not mean you will get bad photos. In fact, you are more or less guaranteed to walk away … Continue reading »
Byron Bay #1
Sunrise shot at Byron Bay has been on my to-do list for quite a while. But due to work, weather, and mainly procrastination, it’s been pushed back time after time. It seems I have greater motivation for other things like sleeping, watching YouTube, and web surfing. Not very healthy, I know. ^^; So at 9.30pm … Continue reading »
