Maxis Tower

Maxis Tower - Kuala Lumpur

When people go and visit central Kuala Lumpur, they would usually end up taking photos of the twin towers, not noticing the building beside it. This is Maxis Tower.


Maxis Tower, or Menara Maxis in the Malay language, is an office skyscraper that houses the headquarters of Maxis Communications and Tanjong Plc Group of Companies. The building was developed by KLCC Properties Holdings Berhad (KLCCP) under Phase 1 of the KLCC project. The building is owned by Impian Klasik Sdn Bhd, in which Tanjong holds a 67% stake and KLCCP holds a 33% stake. Maxis Tower is situated in the northwest corner of the KLCC development, adjacent to the Petronas Twin Towers. As with its neighboring twin towers, Maxis Tower features an aluminum and glass cladding facade. - wikipedia.org

Hot Spring in Ranong

One of the places to go while in Ranong is a cool tourist spot that is hot. Yeah, it's the Ranong Hot Spring. They have pools that you can dip your feet into. Hot springs do have health benefits. What is cool or hot about this tourist spot is that you can enter the place for free. The Thai government keeps it open for free for whoever want to spend time there.

Isn't that hot or isn't that cool?

Sunset in Hawaii

My sister tagged me some photos she took in Hawaii. The sunset looks so beautiful I can't resist posting one here.

Someday, I will go to Hawaii to visit my sister. I will definitely take lots of photos so I can show more.

I also want to visit other islands. She actually lives in Waikiki. It would be nice to visit the surrounding islands.

My sister told me there are many things you can do while in Hawaii. You can do beach sports, kayaks, banana boat rides, para-sailing (will definitely try para-sailing one of these days in Malaysia), snorkeling, SCUBA diving and more.

Shopping would be great too. And I believe her because one of her photos was Forever 21 boutique store. LOL.

There are just so many things to do there.

One day...

Yes one day...

I will go to Hawaii.

Thinking of A Resort in Caribbean for my Next Holiday Destination

Last year my husband and I planned to go for an out of the country getaway with our family. Two years ago, in 2009, we went to Macau, Hong Kong, and China for our family getaway. We thought it was too much to do in a year, visiting 3 countries, considering all the expenses we had. So last year, in 2010, we went to Thailand only.

For 2011, we have booked our flights to Melbourne, Australia. And speaking of that, I really need to save some more money so we can enjoy our holiday without worrying about the finances.

Where will our 2012 holiday destination be? We haven't decided yet, but we are looking seriously at time in a a href="http://www.breezes.com/resorts/">resort in the caribbean. Why not, as beautiful as the place is, I guess it's no wonder a lot of people from all over the world flock to the Caribbean for holiday breaks.

It's a good plan to stay at a resort in caribbean paradise! And we have found that www.breezes.com is a great help in planning our caribbean vacation. I have read the information on the internet and it looks great! Breezes Resorts offer a super-inclusive package that includes all your meals, all your drinks drinks, all entertainment, and even some land and water sports activities. Who can resist a super-inclusive vacation like that? Maybe I should start saving for our 2012 vacation too. My kids would be ecstatic to know we're going!

Kruger Park's The Big Five - Elephant

Hubby was lucky enough to see a couple of those that belong to the Big Five at the Kruger National Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Elephant was one of those big five.

Note: Image taken by a Sony Alpha 380 with 18-200mm lens.

Originally used only by hunters, the term 'Big Five' refers to five of Africa's greatest wild animals - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino.

As during the bygone hunting era the term "Big Five" still conjure up the romance and excitement of Africa's exotic destinations and experiences.

Imagine watching the sun set over the horizon whilst you capture the moment of a pride of lions stalking their prey.

Watching a buffalo strolling to a water hole with strength and size that makes it more likely to kill a human than any other mammal.

The rhino, which is almost extinct, with its extraordinary horns and bad temper. And the leopard with its beauty and remarkable speed and skill to hunt.

Many travellers regard a visit to South Africa as incomplete without having spotted, and perhaps photographed, the Big Five.

The Big Five - legends of the wilderness which have become synonymous with Africa.

Sunset in Alberton

I have heard last time - about 10 to 12 years ago - that South Africa has the best sunset view in the world. It has indeed marked into my mind. And so when my husband went to South Africa, my number one request was to take photo of the sunset.

This was taken in Alberton, Johannesburg, South Africa, using Sony A380.

I was right. The sunset looked so lovely.

I can't help posting it here and sharing with you.
