Fraser's Hill

this weekend trip to Fraser's Hill was highly anticipated, at least by yours truly because i was dying for a little getaway. having been here three years ago, we vowed to make a second trip, but it never materialized for about a year or so. it seemed like the trip almost didn't happen because we couldn't get the guesthouse we previously stayed in, but in the end we buckled down and took the pricier resort and it was one of the best choices we've ever made because for once we had a wonderful and glorious view. and to top it off, the management somehow gave us a three bedroom apartment instead of the two bedroom apartment i ordered. not sure if it was a mistake on their part, but more room for the four of us! even though it was only the four of us, it was relatively the easiest trip we managed, with only one car going up. and with everyone being photography enthusiasts, it didn't really matter if we took our time taking pictures - speaking for myself, it was a rather laid back trip.

i suppose i simply wanted to go on some kind of vacation, having not being able to follow the guys to Cambodia and the Cameron Highlands trip failing to materialize. it felt satisfying to be able to make a long drive out of the city to somewhere else far away, even if it was only for the weekend.

Rescued Old Photos I

Redang Island, 2009.

only a year into this photography thing, i never quite paid attention to the photos i take (which i suppose i still do every now and then) and i snap away like i'm on god mode with infinite ammo. in fact, i did feel like a god since i was the only bloke with a shiny big ass DSLR camera at that time. the years and inclusion of other DSLR users in my circle humbled me and i take a step back before i fire away nowadays, with limited ammo but still thinking that i have shitloads of ammo, nonetheless.

looking back at pictures of my graduation trip to Redang Island, as i mentioned in the previous paragraph, they were messy and not as well thought out. i had not taken full advantage of the gorgeous surroundings and  the picture folder laid stagnant with your average run-of-the-mill tourist snapshots. luckily enough, i had some pictures i could stitch together to make panoramas, albeit not of the epic variety, but they're good enough for photos from circa the early years.

since i have been slow on the taking of photographs as of late, i might dig out some old photographs and bring them back to life.
