The Mystic of the Moon...

As usual I love to shoot the night sky especially the heavenly objects like the moon or other planet up there. I managed to get a good shot of the full moon which happened on January 10 and 11, 2020. I took a shot of the almost full moon on the evening at 8.17 pm. Although it was sort of cloudy I managed to get a good shot and share it on Facebook. Then a friend post a comment of FB saying that I should wait till 3.00 am the next morning where there is a penumbral eclipse of the moon. I went to sleep hoping that I would managed to wake up and shoot the moon in the early hours on January 11, 2020. Happy with the shot this evening I went to sleep and woke up at just past two in the morning. As usual when I wake up in the early morning I would do the Tahajud prayer. I did that and then took my camera with the 200 mm lens and went out to have a look at the sky. Sure enough up there on the west the full moon was shining bright on a clear sky. I was delighted and took as many shots as I could and then set in front to my laptop to edit the pictures. Above are the two images that I took, one on the evening of the 10th and the other in the early morning of the 11, January, 2020. Enjoy it folks as much as I had enjoyed snapping it.

Have a nice day.

Halwa Maskat...

Sudah lama tidak merasai Halwa Maskat. Sangat sukar untuk dapat dibeli dipasaran pada masa ini. Puas dicari tetapi yang dapat tidaklah sesedap yang dibuat sendiri. Ini kerana bukan senang hendak membuatnya. Pertama hanya boleh dibuat dengan mengunakan Periok atau Belanga Tembaga. Belanga tredisi ini masih dibuat di Terengganu dan boleh dapat dibeli di Pasar Payang di Kuala Terengganu. Mengodel dan mengacawnya tampa berhenti mengambil masa tidak kurang dari tiga jam. Oleh itu hanya dengan menguna Belanga Tembaga yang tebal ini sajalah dapat menjamin juadah tredisi ini betul betul menjadi. Seminggu sudah NekNyang siapkan bahan bahan nya dan pada pagi Sabtu 7.11.20 ini bersama dengan anak dan cucu telah dapat dibuatnya. Alhamdulillah. Memang sedap. Recipe nya adalah turunmenurun dari Ayah saya yang membuat juadah ini sebagai makanan istimewa dihidang dan dijual direstaurannya di Kuantan pada setiap bulan Ramadan. Nasib baiklah isteri saya Asmah pada masa itu berumor dalam leng

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan. Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
