Penang Hill overlooks the whole of Penang. Penang is 6 hour away from where I live.
Penang is a state in Malaysia, located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia by the Strait of Malacca. Penang is the second smallest state in Malaysia after Perlis, and the eighth most populous. A resident of Penang is colloquially known as a Penangite.
The name "Penang" comes from the modern Malay name Pulau Pinang, which means island of the areca nut palm (Areca catechu, family Palmae). The name Penang can refer either to the island of Penang or the state of Penang. The capital of Penang state is George Town. More specifically, George Town is also called Tanjung in Malay. Penang Island is simply Pulau Pinang and Penang state is Negeri Pulau Pinang in Malay.
Penang is severally known as "The Pearl of the Orient" and "Pulau Pinang Pulau Mutiara" (Penang Island of Pearls). (source: wikipedia)
no, not the man behind the camera (i got him already). i meant the camera he's holding: Nikon D70. Really. I am so wishing to get a dslr for myself. It seems like I have taken into liking the photography.
I am also hoping to get a short-term photography course. I wonder how and when. Sigh. *dreaming*
i am using point and shoot for my images. but i am dreaming of having a good dslr camera in the near future*. all images are mine except otherwise stated. I am also posting some photos I took while on holiday/break outside Subang Jaya. Thus, Subang Jaya and Beyond. Enjoy your stay!
* I just upgraded my camera from Sony Cybershot to Sony A380. So, from June 2010 onwards, all shots will be from my new camera. Cheers!
*July Update - just another upgrade to a Nikon D90
