Wall Window

A window in a long wall running around the perimeter of SK Bukit Sekilau, a primary school in Bukit Sekilau, Kuantan. Parts of the school can be seen through the window.

Photography is a very rewarding hobby. It develops a sharp eye and helps us notice the beauty and detail all around us. Even in seemingly ordinary things like a wall. At closer inspection there is something to be photographed :)

Top 20 Photos of 2013 - #2

#2

At #2 is this photo taken at the Bukit Gambang Safari Park of the lion enclosure. One piece of glass separating man from animal. Everything is at peace because of the existence of this window. This was an opportunistic moment where beast and human aligned perfectly, facing the same direction. I love the contrast between colour and silhouette. The window provided the perfect frame to the picture. The handrail coming closer to the viewer gives a depth to the photo which I find stimulating. Incidentally, this was one of the very last photos I took before the focus on my camera busted and went to KL for repairs.

Our stay at Majestic Hotel KL - Part 1

We had a wonderful 3 days 2 nights stay at Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur earlier this week. For a detailed history of this hotel, more photos and information about our previous hotel tour with the Hotel Manager, please click the following link:

Tour of Majestic Hotel with HM Wayne Lee

I took so many photos during our recent first-time stay at Majestic Hotel that I have to divide this review into a few parts.

We stayed in the junior suite which costs around RM850-1000 per night! Fortunately this was given on an exchange of services between us and the Hotel Manager, which works out very nicely for both parties, and has done in the past with him as well.

Wayne Lee is a young, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Hotel Manager currently positioned at Majestic Hotel KL. We've been friends since his days as Hotel Manager at Vistana Hotel Kuantan.

Junior Suite at Majestic Hotel KL

The junior suite was spacious, immaculately clean and very comfortable.

The transparent bathrooms now come with the option of a curtain for a little more privacy!

The toilet and shower are in separate glass cubicles at the rear of the bathroom

Bathtub and TV in the junior suite at Majestic Hotel KL. The children loved watching cartoons while bathing!

As far as the room is concerned, it's probably the best room we've stayed in. No complaints at all.

Part 2 will be coming tomorrow where I'll take you around the lobby and floors 2-4 of Majestic Hotel KL.

Lizard on the window

Wouldn't it be great if that was the Supermoon in the background?! Unfortunately it was just a street lamp. Not only do I share a house with my wife and children, but a family of lizards (known as geckos) also roam around at night.

Windows, Light, and Space

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever in the world you may be visiting from!

There are just a few more days to go until the expats blog awards will be announced for Malaysia, and I'm hoping to do well. I've given my blog a bigger window, a little more light, and plenty more space. Perhaps you've noticed the change?

I'm hoping to attract your vote. If you haven't already done so, would you be kind enough to leave a short review/comment of my blog by clicking the following link:

Talking of windows, light, and space, I discovered all of these 3 elements at The Zenith Hotel lobby last week. I've always thought that where these 3 luxuries exist, I feel peace (even with 2 young children running around!)

Teluk Chempedak beach - Looking out the window

Life is full of windows.

What do you see out of your window?

Do you see another long day at work? Or the flowers on the way to work?

Do you see another headache with the children? Or a beautiful learning experience with them?

Do you see the dark, grimy buildings where you are, or go and search for the nature down the road?
