Festive Season Shopping

It was a busy weekend of shopping for everyone. Some rushing to get Christmas presents. Some for Chinese New Year clothes. So the mall was cramped with last minute shoppers. Parking was horrible. After driving from floor to floor for 40 minutes, I gave up and tried to exit. However, traffic was at a gridlocked. It was really frustrating. Eventually I decided to park across the mall and take the pedestrian bridge to cross over. Gosh! Lesson learnt! Never ever do your shopping on the last weekend before Christmas!

Here's a photo of the traffic at a slow crawl in Sunway, at both directions. Ha ha...I sound like the traffic report on our local radio station. The difference is I also provided the visual!

So, how's your Christmas shopping coming along?

My World Tues - Hazy & Hot

Words to describe my world right now ~ Hazy & Hot!!!! The forest burning is happening now. Everything seems blur in my world now. The smell of burning permeates the space we live and the air we breathe. I wish that Mr. Rain would arrive soon and take away the suffocating heat!

Just to share this announcement with all. Today is my birthday!!! Yup, another major milestone in my life!

See the world through the comfort of your web from That's My World Tuesday!

ABC Wednesday - 'T' is for Traffic Police

The kind traffic police was directing traffic in front of Sunway Pyramid in order for us to have a safe walk during the Walk for the Children event on last Saturday morning.

Monochrome Monday & Theme Day - Tattoo in Monochrome

What a day ~ Monochrome Monday & Theme Day ('feet' is the theme)!!! I would like my posting to fulfill both themes so it will be a photo featuring Monochrome Feet then! I have desaturated the colored photo and add some grains to enhance the tattoo on the calf.

Took this photo during last Saturday's Walk for the Children 2009 organized by Sunway University College. It was a noble effort by the students to raise fund for Harvest Centre, a non-profit organization that provide educational programs for poor urban children in Sentul. The theme for the walk was "Breaking the Cycle of Poverty Through Education".

I hope through this project, the students will learn more to care about the society around us. Learn more about leadership skills in supporting charity efforts.

Sky Watch Fri - Sunrise over Bandar Sunway

I have posted a similar scene in black and white recently in my posting called Sunday Morning. Here's a coloured one for Sky Watch Friday. Hope you like this scene of a sunrise over Bandar Sunway. Took this shot after my courageous climb up an unfinished ramp that is probably 40 feet high! Not for those who is fearful of height! But definitely a great place to photograph beautiful sunrise or sunset!

This is a posting for Sky Watch Friday. Check out more photos of skies from the portal! Wish you all a great weekend ahead!

Monochrome Monday - Sunday Morning

I overcame my fear of checking out the new 3rd layer flyover that is being built in Subang Jaya. Friends and family members have warned me about the danger of being attacked by snatch thief when I am up on the ramp. But when I saw the beautiful sky across the horizon on Sunday morning, I just couldn't resist climbing up the flyover. I just gotta find my way up there! It was a worthwhile trip. I may do it again and again, especially to capture the view of sunset.

This scene shows the sun rising over Bandar Sunway.

This posting is my participation for Monochrome Monday.

ABC Wednesday - 'H' is for Hotel

For today's ABC Wednesday theme of 'H', I choose 'Hotel' to fulfill the theme. The hotel featured here is the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel. This is a huge, beautiful hotel that has a theme park and the Sunway Pyramid mall next to it. It is located just a short 5 minutes away from Subang Jaya.

This is my posting for ABC Wednesday's meme.
