JAPAN | ASAKUSA

It has been awhile I have not post anything, been very busy with work, nevertheless, that those not hinder my passion for photography.

There are still thousand and thousand of travel photos yet to be processed and to be shared, unfortunately got no chance to really sit down and processed them all, some say just use jpeg mode, but I still prefer .raw 'coz after traveling thousand of miles and spending a fortune on your travel, u don't wanna mess with your treasured moments, so that's a good tip for those travel photographer, if you treasure your moment, do not compromise in your photo storage, capture it as "raw" as possible.

With that, as to keep this blog back on the feet, I present Asakusa, one of the many districts in Tokyo.

HONG KONG | The Trip

MACAU | 57th Macau Grand Prix 18-21 Nov 2010

This weekend will be the last race for F1 2010, which will decide the WDC 2010 title, and next F1 will only starts some time around March 2010.

Anyhow, this 18-21 Nov 2010, it will be the 57th Macau Grand Prix, quite a tight street circuit.

Just some photos of the arena taken last few weeks.

The venue is just a stone throw away from the ferry terminal.

The colourful seats for the spectators.

A glimpse of the pitstop area.

The pitstop area, the surface is being scrapped off, to make way for new layers of tarmac.

AUSTRALIA | What's on, South Bank

South Bank, is one of the places to be if one happened to visit Brisbane, Australia, and yeap, those who are very familiar with England, there is also a place in London called the South Bank.

So what about South Bank, Brisbane?


What's On? What's not? What's off? What's under?


The directory of South Bank so that you will know your way around, and at the background you can see the "big wheel".


The view of Brisbane city skyline, from South Bank, some old photos of Brisbane dated back to 1965 and even 1835.

MALAYSIA | Jalan Pudu

I bet, most people who went to Kuala Lumpur will definitely spend most of their time within the busy shopping malls of the Golden Triangle, i.e. Bukit Bintang area.

But those area does not actually attracted me as much as those "off the trail" area.

So where did I go?


Jalan Pudu was one on my lists.

The concrete wall at the background is the Pudu Prison (Penjara Pudu), which is no longer in used.

Built during the British Colony in 1981 to lock-up about 600 inmates.


Access to the outside world was of course very limited.


High walls with barbed wire were built surrounding all the perimeters. All that can be seen is the sky.

In 1985 recored the highest number of inmates, which were around 6,550 inmates, which the inmates have to be put into shift for their sleeping time!

There are many more interesting stories about Pudu Jail, which is yet to be told.

AUSTRALIA | Brisbane Square to UQ

Now bringing you in full glorious colour, uhm, well not really, just but the sky is nice, clear and blue thou.


Starts off from here, Brisbane Square.


And as for direction, just look at the sign posts, and then determine your mode of travel.


The University of Queensland, UQ, stop if you desire.

AUSTRALIA | Farmers Markets & Such..

GINZA | Master Zeng Said...

Just wanna post some night photography photos.


Just outside Ginza Station of Tokyo Metro.


So, how am I going to cross this street?


A small booth on the street walkway, selling some local stuffs.


Speaking of technology, even their "ordinary" bust-stop have LCD screens for displaying information.


Happy couple back from work (it was about 2200 hours, yet still look fresh), walking along the under the railway bridge.


Yea, you got me there, Hait, Konbawa, Arigato gozaimashta.


Tokyo equivalent of Brunei's Nasi Katok cafe?


Master Zeng Said;

Every day I examine my character in three respects;
am I disloyal in my designs for others,
am I untrustworthy in my dealings with friends,
have I failed to practise what has been passed on to me.

JAPAN | Ginza St.

Ginza, Tokyo is one of THE places to be when in Japan. The area is really happening in the evening, and also during the weekends.


Ginza showered with colourful neons.


Beautiful designs + neons.


Also the place to see posh cars with designer boutiques along the street.


Driving topless in a classic ride.


Passing Tiffany & co.


No, not the coach as football coaches nor coach in transportation, this is the Coach in designers.


Apple store can also be found in Ginza, as can be seen reflected on the glass window.


Look at the huge Chanel building, imagine all those designers handbags, apparels that you can have.

Despite the hectic street life, it is still relaxing to have a stroll with the young ones along the street.
