Bracing ourselves for the rainy season

The rainy season, or monsoon season, will be in full force any day now across Malaysia.

We have torrential rains, and last year saw the worst flooding in Kuantan for over 50 years. But we are fortunate enough not to endure storms of the like which have battered the Philippines in recent days.

While the rainy season presents challenges for us in Kuantan, I realise it pales in comparison to the natural disasters other parts of Asia and America have received in recent times.

Nevertheless, we are bracing ourselves . . .

Lamborghini Diablo

Check out this Lamborghini Diablo sports car right outside my front door! It belongs to the Tengku Mahkota (the Prince of Pahang, son of the Sultan of Pahang). We are friends with the Prince's personal driver and he was having a bite to eat at the food stall while looking after the car. He readily invited me to come and take some photos!

TM (Tengku Mahkota)'s Lamborghini Diablo. The heat and power coming from the back of the car was amazing! Like standing behind a small aircraft!

How cool is this car?! What is your favourite car?

Stray cats - awfully cute, but a nuisance

Yes, the stray cats who have made our staircase their home are smelly and dirty, leaving their excrement behind, and spend the days and nights loitering here.

But, they are so cute!

Breakfast at Old Town

We like to go eat breakfast with our friends every Saturday morning at Old Town White Coffee. Good food at good prices and it's convenient for us.

Last Saturday I managed to photograph a scene at Old Town White Coffee of a typical family gathered around a circular table enjoying breakfast together:

Do you like eating out for breakfast? If so, where?

Photoshoot with Lauren

Taking a break from the usual today to share some photos I took in a photoshoot with my eldest daughter, Lauren. We painted her bedroom pink and the photos there look so much better as a result. Hope you enjoy these photos. Lauren will be 6 after Christmas.
