    Your sunset of Batu Feringghi is really nice..The last three sunset, did you use any filter? It the colors looks a lil different :D

    By the way, for the Beijing trip, I went on my own booked Airasia X and hostels..I was with my several Japanese frens there..anyway, from the hostel in my blog, i think you can contact them, they can plan a tour for you actually..try it out :D

    Cheers

    What a lovely day!
    If you look carefully in photo 4, you might be able to see me waving at you from London!
    Ha ha… If the sun sets in the West. That’s where I am right now, right?

    Weird thing to say, but there you go! Ha ha…

    micki: yea it’s pretty fun … parasailing.. u get dragged by a boat and they take u for a round flying high so u get a view of the coast below

    ai, khengsiong: thanks, it was a beautiful sunset… the golden hour is always amazing

    Mei Teng: yea i always enjoy beach holidays or simply lying on the beach with a book… relaxingg

  16. 16 lechua May 12th, 2010 at 4:08 pm

    uLi, MKPhang: the 2nd shot is one of my fav… looks like the couple is really enjoying the view and place.

    vialentino: thanks for dropping by! i’m using nikon d90.

    Rafael: u witnessed it before too eh in batu ferringhi… it’s the beach that usu tourists go to.

  17. 17 lechua May 12th, 2010 at 4:11 pm

    Nomadic Pinoy, eunice: tried parasailing at this same back many years ago – i think it could have been 10 year ago when i brought a friend who was visiting malaysia, to penang. was good fun!

    Hong: din use any filters… but i think i changed the autobalance so the colour effect could have been more bluish.. but actually the sunset colours were really dynamic and changing quite dramatically as it was going down.
    thanks for the china info… will check it out.

  18. 18 lechua May 12th, 2010 at 4:14 pm

    taufulou: TQ :D

    chyng: it’s normally qutie a busy beach. the water is not very clear in penang compared to other islands in malaysia or like the ones u visited in phillipines! so it’s more for water sports and fun at the beach. many locals (from outside penang) and tourists hang out here for a holiday

    Londoncaller: yea i think i remember seeing u through the lens hah….

  19. 19 passerby May 13th, 2010 at 2:52 pm

    heys….how much did u pay for the parasailing? what is the duration of the parasailing?
    and is the journey very far to travel from george town to Ferringhi Beach??

    perhaps can share more info on your trip thru’ mail?

  20. 20 lechua May 14th, 2010 at 10:46 am

    passerby: hiya.. the parasailing is about RM50-RM60 for a 15-20min ride. It’s about 20 mins from the town centre to Ferringhi Beach. have sent u a mail :)

  21. 21 mylo May 15th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
