Full Moon on January 31, 2018....

It was once in 151 years happening; the full moon and the eclipse happening at same time. The date January 31,2018 around 6.30pm to 11pm. So, I waited for the day and time to come and planned to take a few shots of that historic event, but the sky was cloudy all-night long. It was not possible to see the moon, so I decided to forget about it and went to sleep. I woke up early and found the sky was clear with a gorgeous skyline and the moon was there glowing in the gray morning, up to the north west of the skyline. I then took my camera, the Canon EOS M5 with the 200mm lens and went out to the front of the house and took a few shots of the beautiful moon that greet the morning of February 1, 2018.

It was nice to see the moon in the early morning. As usual the feeling of the morning was good; I could smell the fresh air and felt good on this February morning.

Here are some images that I took that morning. Enjoy it folks much as I had enjoyed snapping it.

Have a nice day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already. I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made there by two of

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
