Will be making my 2nd attempt to conquer Mount Kinabalu in March 2009.
Mt Kinabalu (Gunung Kinabalu) is located at Kinabalu National Park, a World Heritage Site in the state of Sabah, Malaysia. At 4,095 metres, it’s the highest summit in Malaysia and the fourth highest in South East Asia.
Went to the National Rice Museum (Muzium Padi Nasional) in Kedah, Malaysia, in March 2008. The museum is near the city of Alor Setar, and is famous for its huge 360-degree ceiling painting on one of the interior domes.
The painting is a nice piece of art work, featuring the bird-eye-view of the surrounding environment around the museum, as well as the growing cycle of the rice crops from ploughing to harvesting and celebrations etc…
Went to Putrajaya on Friday (Aug 29) to catch the finale of Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2008, with performance from the Australian team.
First serious attempt on fireworks photography; results are rather poor. Here are a few of the relatively nice photos…
Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) 2008 is held in the month of August in conjunction with the country’s independence day celebration.
I was planning to go for a show on Wednesday, but the weather was not permitting; will try my luck again on Sunday. Meanwhile, catch a video below, produced by an official media partner of MIFC with the Malaysian team performing on August 12.
Besides the Malaysian team, other teams that are competing in the event this year are from China, Spain, Canada and Australia.
Update - check out a few photos taken by yours truly during one of the shows.
A video of BASE jumping from KL Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, during the KL International Tower Jump (KLITJ) in August 2006…
BASE is the acronym for Building, Antenna, Span and Earth… the categories of fixed objects that are usual jumping platforms for this extreme sport. [more on Wiki]
KLITJ is becoming a popular event for BASE jumpers around the world; the annual event is moving into its seventh edition in 2008. Besides the 421m KL Tower, the jumping sessions are now extended to a few other locations across the country.
Super GT’s pit walkabout is a special period where visitors (with extra passes) were allowed to visit the pit-lane to catch a closer look of the race cars, the drivers and the GT race queens. Some pit photos below, taken on Saturday (June 21) at Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia, where the 4th round of Super GT race was held…
Second day of the Super GT International Series 2008 in Sepang, Malaysia; some photos from various exhibitors and the GT qualifying rounds…
Went to Sepang International Circuit (SIC) this morning with KC to catch a glimpse of the Super GT Sepang race. Super GT is a popular sport car racing series from Japan; and the Malaysian round (4th out of nine) is the only international leg at the moment.
It’s just practice today; not many people around despite the free entrance. Should be having a much larger crowd for the next two days during the real races.
Some of today’s photos… some practice rounds for me too; it’s a bit challenging to take photos of these fast moving machines…
