Don't you just love fruits...

how can you say no to yummy looking fruits like these...

crunchy red cherries from Australia

juicy mangosteen (not sure whether they're local or imported)

sweet sweet sapodilla or ciku (gotta be local)

In the garden of...

when I was back in my hometown Penang, I snooped around my mum's garden and took a few shots...

Joy of the new lens

bought a Nikon 55mm - 200mm f/4-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR lens few days ago, and tried shooting from the apartment. shots came out pretty well, at least I like them...

Improvement... more improvement

more night shots of the high speed traffic on Jalan Kuching, but I still think they can be better...

Indecisive

Went out one night to take some night shots, but couldn't decide which one I like best...

A visit to Zoo Negara

Must admit that we didn't really think too much about this zoo, especially after seeing the very well run Australia Zoo a.k.a Steve Irwin's Zoo. Some may say because they have more money or because they're bigger... blah blah blah... I think it is more likely because they have a better idea of how to run a successful zoo business (they charge a hefty 58 Aus dollar per person, some better deal if you're a family with 3 kids)

Never mind the Aussie zoo, few satisfying pictures were taken after most of the mosquitoes got their feed (me being their breakfast, shorts are not a good choice here) Unless you have good lenses for your camera (mine only came with a standard 18mm-55mm) most of the animals are going to look blurry, which is a disappointment.

Some of the things I managed to get up close to were the painted storks, there's like hundreds of them, and they make some good pictures. enjoy...

* don't quite understand this particular stork that stood there all day


* it may be beautiful but it may peck if you get to close



It was at this point that my camera's battery quit on me. Oh well, that's life.
