Halfway 2 Balik Pulau

I left work earlier today, nothing much to do. I thought of the Sunset I saw yesterday when I was on my way back from Perlis trip. So Red and Round! I couldn't stop to snap a few of it because I was in a rush to get back to B'worth before 8pm. So, without hesitating, I drove up to the middle of the track to Balik Pulau and gearup myself. To my surprises, there is a Hakka Restaurant up there! I didn't know that (that's how outdated I am before I pickup photography). Let's have a look at what we can harvest from a place like there, let's let the picture do the talking.

A Trip 2 Perlis

I was on my duty to Perlis and I somehow invited Tan Lian Hock to accompany me there. And I end up didn't really get my job done properly but shot a lot of photoes. I guess that's because last week I wasn't have enough time to satisfy my addictness of pressing shutter. We went to Gua Kelam in an area called Kaki Bukit near the border of Malaysia and Thailand.

PGN Nikon Club Rekoned Photography Accessories Shop

When we come to purchase our photography gears, we tend to look around too many places for better prices. But does that really help us?? In the end the owner or the sales person of every shops you visited don't know you. But if you keep on going back to same shop, you will get to know the owner and the sales person more and eventually become friends. That's when you will get a little cheaper than others. PGN Nikon Club rekoned 2 Photo Shops to all of the members and all our photograph buddies too.

Below are the two shops details:-

Excel Photo Trading

Halfway 2 Penang Hill

It was such a short notice and I couldn't have enough time to gather other members to follow us on this trip. My appologies to all the members who are left behind. However, now that we have discovered this wonderful place, we can always organize an outing over there. But the landscape there are quite steep, and could bring disaster if you didn't watch your steps. Here are some of the pictures taken.
