Photos Since April 2004

[way124]

I don't think I told anyone here that I went back to Malaysia for the summer. Now I'm back in Canada, and today marks the first month of that. But anyway, here are some photos for those who are interested:

Malaysia 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=21)

Needless to say, this is the first and generic gallery for all the pictures I took in Malaysia, which includes the buildings and lifestyles of Malaysia.

Vesak 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=22)

Vesak is the Buddha's birthday. So, if you haven't seen Theravadan Buddhists celebrations before, this is a good gallery to open your eyes. Oriental Buddhism is Mahayana Buddhism.

Malaysian Cuisine (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=23)

This is easily my favourite gallery. And it will be one of the two things I miss in Malaysia.

KL Lake Gardens 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=24)

http://irqnine.com/images/pg/thumb/00/05/d5.jpg

Quite a bit of photos and some other monumental structures to complement the greens.

Playground 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=25)

http://irqnine.com/images/pg/thumb/00/05/f5.jpg

Photos of the playground I grew up in.

Redang 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=26)

http://irqnine.com/images/pg/thumb/00/06/13.jpg

Redang is a diving paradise. Not really a beach resort though. Not knowing how to dive, the scope of photography is rather limited.

Bangkok 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=27)

http://irqnine.com/images/pg/thumb/00/06/40.jpg

Bangkok is the capital Thailand, home to over 7 million residents and about 5,000 temples. It's too bad I didn't spend more time there, and photos are limited in number too.

Singapore-Melaka 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=28)

http://irqnine.com/images/pg/thumb/00/06/71.jpg

Singapore is an island nation right below Malaysia. Melaka, or Malacca, is a state in Malaysia, once an entreport for Chinese and Arabic traders, which was then conquered first by Portuguese, then Dutch, then British, then Japanese. Which was later returned to British, and finally joined the Malaysian federation.

Long Ride 2004 (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=29)

I yet again went to Pt Pelee, through a VERY long way. The trip ended up clocking at 394.9km (245.4 miles). This time, the camera didn't break, and I was one happy dude to come back home safe, comfortable, and a bunch of photos to enjoy.

Wow that looks like some great photos and an amazing trip. Thanks for posting these, I'll look closer later today when I can really enjoy them :)

Thanks FNO :) I did a little upgade so it's easier to view the photos. It even has a slideshow now! And here's a gallery of panoramas (http://irqnine.com/photogallery/gallerydisplay.aspx?galleryid=30) taken since year 2001.

I am awe struck by just the pictures I've seen so far. The architecture/scenery and the photographic composition. These are extremely pleasent pictures to watch and I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to be there in person as well, but the pictures do say a thousand words.

Might I suggest you also place the link to either this thread or a direct link to your photo-collection in your signature to make sure people have a good chance to notice it.

Thanks and Greetings
Frank

Wow, such flattery :D Well, putting links in my sig wouldn't help because I don't post much anyway. And... this thread should stay here since we had complaints about irrelevant posts in the main forum.

Hope you had a great time there, and maybe Tourism Malaysia will thank me for increased tourist count from Scandinavia :D

Hey Wei. Didn't realise it's already been like a week or so since I was chatting to you on MSN. You were talking about going to Pt Pelee. And already back since 2nd September? Do I just not pay enough attention?
Just feels like I was talking to you a couple of days ago. Heh.
Although my PC at home is getting some cobwebs again. Only use it like 1 hour or less a day. Nothing compared to last year, when it was on half the night. :rolleyes:

Anyway
Great shots as usual, still like those panaromics.. Come to think of it, I did see you on MSN in the weekend, when you gave me the pana links ;), but you never mentioned your bike trip. See I'm not that stupid. =[
