Senangin Beach Escapade

It was like going to drizzle the time we're travelling towards Senangin Beach - some kilometers on the right side of Lumut if you're coming from Ipoh. We thought the trip will be ruined by the unpredictable weather in Malaysia.

this is how the morning looks like when we got to the beach

We arrived in mid-morning. The sky was a little cloudy, the sea was not cold and it was very calm. Hhhmm... nice to dip in the water while the sun is hiding under the thick white clouds. Or perhaps, better to take some good photos while it's in the golden hour.

I quickly grabbed my toy, walked around the shoreline to see some unusual but interesting subject that would catch my attention.

This photo is a very interesting one. I would like to interpret this as a person, in his retiring age, after many years of being active and useful, is now resting and waiting for his sunset.

Then headed back to where the true fun was, I shoot the guys on their lively and joyous mood, Well, it's very seldom we can see this bonding moments and these happy faces inside the office or at work.

It was such a wonderful day for us. We enjoyed every moment out there laughing, swimming, eating and having a good time. Though some of the guys have to leave on the same day,  the rest including me, stayed there for an overnight fun. And before we parted ways, it would be a natural thing to get another shot of this wonderful place in Perak.

Say cheese!!!

Rediscovering Lubuk Timah

I can't help but admire this very beautiful view of an abandoned reservoir. The place is called Lubuk Timah which is situated near Simpang Pulai. The dam is almost abandoned that the water spills over it, thus creating a curtain-like waterfalls on the center and stairs-like waterfalls on both sides that create a very refreshing view to watch, and cold white water for bathing.

Going there at first is bit confusing as the signs for directions are so small and the road is unnoticeable, not to mention that they are rough too.

The waterfalls are a few hundred meters away from the road where you can park your car and the pathway going there is kind of muddy and rocky at the same time.

I enjoyed taking a bath under the strong current and painful but relaxing hit of waterfalls in my skin the first time we went there. And so I took another trip alone this time to capture its beautiful and marvelous images. Please note that it is not advisable going here alone as the place is secluded and the water is treacherous at times.

What a perfect getaway to refresh and relax, get some beers and barbecue. A very beautiful scenery's for photo enthusiasts, and wonderful place for families to enjoy the weekends.
