With hue and shinning sun as the center of attention.

Taken at Penang-18 February 2012

After encountering the beautiful sunset, next challenge, okay sort of a challenge is the sunrise. Sunset requires a long exposure time with high aperture value, am happy my camera was still be able to provide F8.0. For sunrise that is complete different story as i have to limit the exposure time by changing the ISO and Aperture Value..Which was kind of hard as i had no prior experience.

Well, woke up early morning for the sunrise, hoping to capture it's beauty is a challenge. The twilight, followed by peeping sun, then the rising sun. Everything happened in a split moment. That's why capturing it's beauty is very hard.

I enjoy the ambush of the sun...It is indeed inspiring.

[Food] Salmon flakes creamy sweet potatoes soup

Stir Fried Salmon Flakes Creamy Sweet Potatoes Soup

Made something impromptu that day with whatever I have at home and came up with this special recipe. Never thought salmon can be best friend with sweet potatoes. Wish to share this recipe here.

Ingredients:

Salmon flakes, 4-6 sweet potatoes, celery, curry powder, soup stock (can be chicken/mushroom/fish according to your preference) Milk.

First, remove skin of sweet potatoes, boiled them in hot water till soft. Make 2 cups of soup stock of your preference, pour it into blender and add the sweet potatoes in. Add another half or a cup of milk and blend it till smooth. Pour the smoothly blended sweet potatoes into the wok, add in curry powder, and salt for taste. Mix it thoroughly.

On frying pan, pour in some oil or butter, and add in the cut celery, then the salmon flakes. Add some pepper and salt for taste. Stir fried for 3 minutes.

Scope the soup and lay the stir fried salmon flakes on soup...

Voila...Enjoy...

Sunset

Sunset at Pantai Pasir Panjang, Balik Pulau.

In love with a place, a place where you can actually see the sun goes down the horizon leaving beautiful hue. Went for the sunset solely on Chap Go Meh and ended my Chinese New Year celebration with colours.

Kek Lok Si Temple

Kek Lok Si Temple, The goddess of Mercy

Visited Kek Lok Si Temple during Chinese New Year the second time. The first time was 2 years back. This year was the first time ever for me to reach the hill top Goddess of Mercy Statue at night. Serene and beautiful with the magic touch of lights.

Traffic was not surprisingly heavy, as expected. The lights worth the waiting though. As each each year there is some new elements introduced.
