noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 02:08:00 +0000

These scented soap were sold at Church towards fund raising for the Janakpur children in Nepal. If I am not mistaken, these soap were handmade.

Safe n Sound

Child safety whilst driving is of paramount priority. Do you strap your child on a car seat whilst travelling?

Door Lock

Nothing else better to do on a weekend. So I fooled around with the Nikon Coolpix L4 and took these selected shots of the door lock at home. See if you could notice the camera's lens on the last picture below.

Orchid @ Home

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 07:13:00 +0000

I bought this orchid about 3 years ago. I did not know what kind of bloom or colour it will turn out and it did not bloom for more than a year. Ever since we moved to our current house, however, it has begun to bloom every 3 months or so and lasts approximately 1 to 1 1/2 months before wilting. During the last bloom, it had 3 flowers though 2 is the norm. Lovely indeed!

This photograph was taken about one week after it started to bloom and the purplish petals were beginning to fade in colour already.

Colourful Bags

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 09:37:00 +0000

These bags are sold at a souvenier shop in Kota Bahru Airport. They are made from natural fibre materials and come in many colours. Definitely something interesting to bring back home!

Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah Up Close

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 10:03:00 +0000

This is my 2nd entry on Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah in Kota Bahru showing some selected photographs taken up close.

Keropok Galore!

Serunding (Meat Floss) Daging, Ayam and Ikan

Assortment of salted fish, salted eggs and other stuffs!

Turtle eggs anyone? I don't know if it is legal to sell these.

Close up of the turtle eggs

Lekor Kelantan. Unfortunately, I must say
that they are exposed to flies. You better fry these to death!

How colourful can mother nature be?

Colours of Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 06:23:00 +0000

Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah is located in the centre of Kota Bahru town in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia. It is 3 storeys tall and has a spider-dome like rooftop which allows natural sunlight to shine through.

You will notice that almost all the traders are women, which is quite common in the Malay State. The ground floor houses the wet produce market whilst the first floor has stalls selling dry produce such as keropok and serunding (meat floss).

The second floor has a bewildering number of stalls selling fabric and clothes especially the famed Kelantanese hand-drawn batik. As I was a bit shy, I did not take any photographs of the fabric stalls especially when I wasn't intending to buy any.

A favourite amongst shoppers and shutterbugs, this market is open from 6am till 7pm daily.

Child at play

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 03:19:00 +0000

Child at play is often a favourite subject for photo taking. This picture is taken in coloured form and tweaked using Picasa 2 into a black and white photograph. That's my daughter of 8 months old and she was so engrossed with the Sesame Street ABC learning toy.

Intricately Created

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 03:14:00 +0000

A friend of mine bought this orchid as a gift to us a couple of months back. I could not help admiring the intricate design on the petals of the orchid which looks similar to blood veins. I am still waiting for it to bloom again.

Wild Orchid @ Frasers Hill

noreply@blogger.com (PabloPabla) — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 01:09:00 +0000

I spotted this wild orchid at Frasers Hill, Malaysia and could not resist the temptation to take a photograph of it. It was already 6pm at that time with gloomy and darkening skies. A couple of tweaks with Picasa 2 gave me the above result.
