The author breathing in the morning air at Cameron Highlands
Yesterday we finaly checked out of Impiana in Kuala Lumpur which has been our home for the last 5 days. We missed it already. Ivan was on his way back to Manila then while we were on our way to Cameron Highlands but our guide Marie suggested we make a brief stop at the Batu Caves which she said every visitor in Kuala Lumpur should see. We obliged of course but we weren’t really dressed for a 272 stair case climb. Interesting place though.

The Snow World in Genting Highlands
Yesterday was a bit packed but extremely fun. Spending most of the day at the cool highlands of Genting. Amazing to have a huge theme park 1700 meters above sea level. An boy did we enjoy some rides. We even got to rub shoulders for a while with people from Sports Unlimited as they do their shoot there. An oh yeah, I get a kick that the Olympus E-3 can still function at the temperature of -4 degrees Centigrade.

Lunch at Seroni Nyonya Cuisine Restaurant Melaka
We spent most of the day today at Historcal Malacca (Melaka). I’ve heard much about this place which was recently awarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site last year. People either love it or hate it. As for me, I love the food. This great lunch was at Seroni Nyonya Cuisine Restaurant. Malacca is an interesting place with interesting stories, especially about St Francis Xavier. Too bad we missed the Rice Balls at Jonker’s Walk.

Merdeka, Royal Button Seals and Flag
It’s the day before the Merdeka Celebration in Malaysia. Honestly I don’t know a lot about the celebration and it’s significance but today’s programe at the Mines Wellness Hotel educated me on the celebration. I could actually feel the festive spirit of the Malaysians as they look forward to Independence Celebration. I feel the beat of anticipation as we shout Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Creative Restroom Signs at Sunway Pyramid Center and MOS Malaysia
Talk about having a low-charged battery. Getting in a bit late last night offered us little rest and wasn’t that all up and charged when we were roaming around Malaysia today. Don’t get me wrong, the tour at the Sky Bridge, Aquaria, King’s Palace and the National Monument was worth while but with only a few sleep left us drained.

The City lights of Baguio under the mist
I just got back on a 4 day Photo Assignment this morning from Baguio. It was a jam packed 4 days into the Cordilleras but it was really interesting. I actually like this assignment as the story is in line to one of my interest. As usual, I can’t divulge anything until the issue comes out but it I’m really excited on how the writer would treat this story.
It was raining most of the time in the afternoon but I love the hanging mist there as it adds to the mood of the shots. I already miss the cool weather and the mist. Usually I just visit Baguio in transit but after this assignment, I may explore further.
