Magnificent.

The one word I could describe about the 30-minute performance of fireworks by Team Australia on 29th August 2008 at Putrajaya.

Pardon me for the not-so-excellent shots as I was desperate to snap them with my Sony Ericsson K850i instead of a digital camera. (My digi cam has been hospitalised due to lens problem)

Well, I am not one of them who used a cellphone to record or snap pics of the fireworks. Look at the crowd who were standing in front of me.

How I wish I could enjoy such performance every week.

Ah… bad idea, it will cause air and noise pollution to the residents.

Nevertheless, I managed to record a 5-minute video of the fireworks. Why don’t you watch it yourself?

If you remember, 2 weeks ago I was working in the East Coast and Kuala Terengganu was one of my stops. I dropped by Pantai Batu Buruk in the evening on the way back to my hotel.

Trail of shells

Pantai Batu Buruk, Kuala Terengganu is undoubtedly the most famous beach in Terengganu.

Is there a message in the bottle?

Bottle by the sea

This beautiful beach is just 1 km from the city center and can be reached by walking. Perhaps this is the cleanest and widest beach inside Kuala Terengganu city

My favourite shot for this beach

On windy days, playing kite on the beach is a good idea but swimming can be dangerous here. The beach is not exactly suitable for swimming due to the strong waves almost all year round, perhaps due to its geographically unsheltered location.

However, Pantai Batu Buruk is also a popular place for strolling and good place to visit especially in the evening.

As promised in my previous post 2 days ago, here are some of the pictures taken by Kevin and I in Wat Arun.

One of the shots taken when I visited Wat Arun in 2006

Wat Arun, perhaps better known as the Temple of the Dawn, is one of the best known landmarks and one of the most published images of Bangkok.

The temple is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok.

This is one of my fave shots in Wat Arun

The full name of the temple is Wat Arunratchawararam Ratchaworamahavihara. (Wow, this is tough to pronounce in a go, isn’t it?)

And it is also a hallmark of the reign of King Rama III.

Kevin: Hello lion. Are you bored?

You definitely can find such cute statues in the surrounding compound before entering the temple.

My best shot taken in Thailand! I love this shot!!!

The Wat really looks better from a distance than close up, and you’re not missing out too much even if you only view from across the river.

I just love the clouds in the background. Good job for this shot, Kev!

It is possible to walk up the stairs of the main prang, which gives quite a scenic view of the Chao Phraya river.

I just love the clouds in the background. Good job for this shot, Kev!

Nevertheless, when you are in Wat Arun, you just have to camwhore with your travel-mates.

Grace: HOUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! (Meditating)

Including pictures like the one above.
