Skywatch Friday - Penang Island


It was early in the morning. I took a stroll along the beach before everyone is awake. Enjoyed the calm and cooling breeze. What a wonderful feeling to listen to soothing sound of waves that came gently crashing onto the rocks. Chilly, tinkling sensation of the cold water touching my feet.  


I found some interesting quotes about beaches. 


“Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.”
~ Robert Henri ~

“Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.”
~ Anonymous ~

“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”
~ Jacques Cousteau ~

Rainbow Spotted!


It was a long time since I see such beautiful skies near the place I live. It was in shades of blue, slightly purplish all over the housing area. A glimpse of a rainbow was spotted on the right. Hiding among the thick clouds. 

Seeing the fascinating colours forget all my worries and feel so good.  It reminds me of the song and the quote said by Lyman Frank Baum, " Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true". There's a saying that goes, "There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" and all the lovely stories and wonderful adventures about a journey to find a rainbow. 

It disappeared very soon in a few minutes. I hope you find the rainbow within you too. To live your dreams, to have faith and believe that there's always hope. May you be blessed with a wonderful, beautiful life. 


It certainly had made my day.

Pandamaran New Village


This is a photo taken at Pandamaran New Village also known as Kampung Baru Pandamaran in Malay, Klang, Selangor from the car window while travelling recently. The skies were brilliant. It was a bright sunny day and hot weather! 

Pandamaran New Village is an emerging township which is also the second largest as well as the second oldest Chinese new village in Malaysia. 

The origin of the name Pandamaran is closely related to a tropical tree known as Damar. This tree is geographically located in many regions of South East Asia. Its bark yields an unusual clear, pale, yellow damar resins principally used in paints and varnishes. Pandamaran’s original name was Pendamaran. It carries with it the meaning of a place where Damar tree can be found. This proves that this place was rich in the production of damar resin.

Pandamaran's history traces back to year 1950. The village was built after the Malayan Emergency situation. The British colony needed to destroy the communism influence and thus had gathered all the Chinese residents mostly from Kuala Langat and Kuala Selangor. The purpose of this was to keep the inhabitants in and the guerrillas out. The village was surrounded by barbed wire back in the 50s. There were two checkpoints at the where both gates, were opened 6 am and closes at 6 pm. 

Today, Pandamaran New Village is served by excellent road connections. There's even a 3-star hotel, sports complex, hockey stadium, and public swimming pool. The distance from other city and township such as Kuala Lumpur is 30 km while the distance from Klang town is 2 km.

Skywatch Friday - Sunset at Home

A photo taken in a beautiful evening outside my house. It's almost 6pm. Working adults and parents are coming home for dinner. The kids love to cycle around the neighbourhood and play football at a small field nearby while waiting for their parents to return.
