Photos taken in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia.

***

After a three-month hectic course, I'm finally done. Taking a break in Terengganu, I managed to take some photos (finally). I've been on a photo taken hiatus for too long. 

Friends

To my dear friends...

It seems a long time since we've met,

Whether in person, or through the net...

I have a tale which is painful to tell,

Of how I disappeared down a well.

That was the day I sailed away,

To a different world in a different realm,

There was no magic, neither were there dreams,

Only sadness, fears, and silent screams.

Behind me, I shut the portal into that dark place,

I did not want you to see me in such disgrace,

I couldn't bare the thought of you knowing,

Of the million tears from me flowing.

And thus I removed myself from your sight,

But know, I missed you on countless nights.

And there beyond the reaches of light,

In the midst of my unhappy plight,

I had not forgotten the friendship we've shared,

I treasure it still, as I've always cared...

Any hurt I've caused, I did not ever intend,

I hope it's not too late for me to amend...

The no exchange of greetings or pleasant conversation,

No smiley faces or emoticons to halt the alienation,

Tis a tragic failure on my own part,

I pray you will not take this to heart.

You who showed compassion when it was in want,

For being warm-hearted and not nonchalant,

I want to thank you for being a dear friend,

I should not want our friendship to end.

Take care always...

This is me...the slug...who hides in a shell...(sometimes anyway)

Earth Sky Water

Just three or so days ago, I tried coaxing photoshop to perform an action, but it told me flatly that there was not enough memory. So I had to abandon the project I was working on and do some housekeeping...i.e. throw out stuff. And by definition,"stuff" meant photos. So I ended up running through my iphoto library deleting any photos I felt were a complete lost. Mission heartbreak. No photo is a complete lost... even the horrid ones can be used for their texture or something right? Anyway, in the midst of parting with gigabytes of memories, I found some photos I thought I'd like to post up here.

These photos were taken in Chendering. I had posted up some in a previous post. But here are a few more...

In this photo, the earth, the sky and water meet. The photo below is an edited version of the original. I adjusted the levels in the photo to make it almost white. I thought it looked dreamlike.

Three coconut (extremely tall) trees. I liked the way they reach up into the sky. The photo above has been edited to mute its colors and add an antique look. The original colour of the sky can be seen in the photo below (I wish the car wasn't in the way...)

I love this photo. I added a colour filter to it. The little boy with the bucket is my 11 year old brother :)

Seashells delighting the beach...

p.s. I cleared up about 8GB that day.

Sunset over Chendering

At low tide, the inch deep water reflects the dipping sun and little rocks bask in its waning light.

Off to the east larger rocks lie and remain ever visible despite the changing tides.

I used to come here oft as a child and memories of fun and laughter come flooding through.

We've all grown up now and although, my dearest beach's still here... those days are but sadly long gone.
