I was sailing to Tonle Sap in Cambodia when this beautiful white mosque appeared. It was bathed in sunlight while the surrounding riverine village was shaded under clouds. It wasn’t easy nailing the exposure on a shaky boat but I’m quite happy with the results.
Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia and the area is rightfully designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. My journey began on the mighty Mekong in Phnom Penh and ended near Siem Reap where Angkor Wat is.

*A man was killed and his friends injured when a self-modified cooking gas tank, which was installed in his car as a NGV fuel system, exploded.
From last night, a montage of the Hokkien ‘Por Tor’ celebrations held in conjunction with the Hungry Ghost Month. Clockwise from top left:
(1) Every one seems to be taking pics with tablets.
(2) This cute cabbage patched dog is made from fresh cabbage.
(3) More tablet cams.
(4) A miniature Shaolin monk on flower seeds.
(5) Rows and rows of liquor bottles offered as sacrifice to thirsty ghosts.
(6) Lighting a joss stick for the Por Tor Kong deity.
(7) The 1Malaysia Hungry Ghost effigy. Yay!
