Choice is good. You can have a RM 58 high tea at the fabulous revolving restaurant on top of the KL Tower. Or you can have a RM 1 tea at a hawker gazing at the sun setting over KL Tower. Never mind that the table is not level and the drink will slide down hill. The view is just as superb. High tea, indeed.

Moon River is a giant monsoon drain under the overpass in Air Panas. To enhance the blusish mood, I set the camera’s white balance preset to tungsten indoor setting. I also exposed it using an 8-second exposure hoping to streak the traffic criss-crossing on the highway. Unfotunately, there wasn’t much traffic today since it is a Sunday and public holiday. Nevertheless the long exposure required a tripod and wired remote release to eliminate camera shake. Not the best thing to do as the vantage point was really deserted and dark. A pack of stray dogs kept me company. Shhhh… Don’t let any of our housing developers see this. They’ll build some gated-homes and call it a waterfont.
Why are the windows on a ship or portholes round? I was told they are better at preserving hull strength than square or rectangular windows. Also circular windows are easier to seal than those having sharp corners.
One rarely see a nice sunset over the Straits of Malacca these days. This surprisingly lovely sunset was photographed from Cenang Beach when I was in Langkawi for LIMA. Since it was a bit hazy, I decided to use use Snapseed’s Grunge Filter to create the scratchy, dirty look of peering through a porthole 🙂
