Fluffy Clouds and Menara TM - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The sky was exceptionally blue yesterday and the clouds were big and fluffy. A beautiful day indeed. The next two photos were taken from The Gardens Club Lounge, looking onto Menara TM (the tall building you see on the left). Menara TM is the headquarters for Telekom Malaysia and is 310m tall with 55 floors in total. It is shaped to represent a sprouting "bamboo shoot". Quite a lovely sight from afar. 



The next two photos were taken in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. The sky was still very blue but somehow it looked dull in the photos. Photos were taken minutes apart, but looks very different although no change in camera setting.

Fishing Boats - Pulau Ketam, Selangor, Malaysia

Pulau Ketam, literally means "Crab Island" and is a small island located off the coast of Klang. Pulau Ketam is a fishing village, so it's not surprising that it is renowned for its seafood!

Last week, a friend invited us over to the island for a get-together session. After that, she kindly took us on a tour around the island and we got to see many fishing boats. Almost 80% of the villagers are fishermen. Most of these boats are equipped with large nets. 




I have many more photos from our trip to Pulau Ketam but have not had the time to resize them. Will post more when I have the time.

Night View of Pudong from HuangPu River Cruise - Shanghai, China

Pudong, officially known as Pudong New Area is a district in Shanghai, China. It is named "Pudong" because of its location on the East side of the Huangpo River ("Dong" means East), on the opposite of Puxi, the West side.

A night cruise on HuangPo River is very popular amongst tourists since you can see both old and new Shanghai. The night view is breathtaking. The steel and glass skyscrapers of Pudong are beautifully illuminated and constantly changing colours.




The Oriental Pearl Tower is unmissable. It is the second tallest structure in China.
