A bit of everything
Thames Barrier Park
May 11th, 2008 FarisWhat a lovely week. It is so different when the sun goes up high in the sky. It looks like the spring season goes well at the moment. As a Malaysian, I am absolutely not a fan of the sun but being in the bloody cold country like here in England, it really makes me want to go out and lie down on the grass under the sunlight! So, the moral of the story is, if you want to appreciate the sun more, do come here. Ahahaha.
And some of the pix to share while having fun at Thames Barrier Park.
Oh by the way, if you notice the kids’s clothes are different, that’s because we were there yesterday and came back again today! Hahaha. We begin to like this park! It’s close to our place anyway. Hope you enjoyed your stay and thanks for viewing the photos. Cheers.
Dubai v2
May 7th, 2008 Faris
This entry actually should be posted before Madinah Munawarah entry because I went to Dubai first before Madinah, but that’s okay. All photos from Dubai had been transferred to my brother’s laptop since I haven’t got enough space to keep the photos in the camera and I only got them back two days ago. No I wonder why I felt like some of my photos missing, LOL.
By the way, this is my second trip to Dubai. The first one was in May last year. The weather was quite nice this time compared to my previous trip. Probably because it is not summer yet so, the temperature was not that high. If it is summer, you may want to consider to being in the building rather than walking outside under the sunlight. I still remember when I was in Dubai last year the weather was like bloody hot!! I could not even stand outside for more than 15 minutes otherwise, my skin would be burn.
Although I have been to Dubai twice, does not mean I have discovered everything. I did not do what tourists normally do like going to the specific places. No particular reason but if I still have opportunity to go again, I would love to go for Desert Safari. It looks amazing in my friend’s photos. He went there couple of weeks ago and when I saw he was on the desert I was like, what??? Can’t believe I haven’t done that!! To be honest, I spent lots of my time at the Mall of Emirates which is the biggest shopping complex in Dubai so far. It is approximately 10 minutes walk from my accommodation.
After 2 days stay then I flew to Jeddah. From Jeddah I took a taxi to Madinah which cost me 500 Riyals, equals to RM500 or £80.65, and it was 3 or 4 hours journey. I was really exhausted by the time I got into the hotel. Anyway, Dubai is still as same as last year. The constructions never stop. One thing I noticed, the Burj Al Dubai, the tallest building in the making is nearly completed now.
Well, hope you enjoy your stay. I am trying my best to keep blogging if not everyday, at least once every 2 or 3 days. Just need something to keep me motivated. Need to produce more great photographs. Hopefully this spring and coming summer will be fantastic season for photography.
Thanks very much. Cheers.

Was digging up my hard drive and found these photos taken while I was at Marriott Tudor Park, Kent. If you did see the snow photos from my previous entry, those were taken one day after. It was amazing how the weather changed drastically. The sun was shining and we had a clear blue sky and all of a sudden, the next day it was all covered by snow. I had so much fun taking photos that day. Wish I could spend more time taking pictures but unfortunately, Arisha was sick the day after. But the most important thing is I have a few shots of me in the snow, haha.

Personally, I think kids are one of the hardest subject to be photographed unless they remain still. Thanks for viewing. Cheers.
