I was in Terengganu last weekend for a wedding assignment. I love traveling and I love outstation assignments. I would take the opportunity to stay a bit longer after or arrive a bit earlier (like 2 days before) just to absorb the culture, take my time off and take a break.

Day 1 – Thursday
We took off from Shah Alam on Thursday at about 5pm and arrived at the bride’s house at 11pm. Basically, we went straight to our accommodation for the weekend once we arrived and slept like a dog til the next morning.

Day 2 – Friday
The solemnization was to be held right after Friday prayer so we had the morning to kill. Nazir & I went to breakfast – East Coast style. Nazir had Nasi Kerabu.

We went location scouting right after that.

Then off to the assignment til the evening.

We went out for dinner that evening. We headed to Seberang Takir to a place that Nazir had been before. Specialty – big glass fruit juices.

Day 3 – Saturday
The reception was held from morning til about 4pm.

We were free in the evening. We went out for a seafood dinner with Syahril & Farah – two friends of Ailin and our new friends. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily with thunderstorms and high winds that night. No photos. The seafood was good! And cheap too! 4 people = RM86.

Day 4 – Sunday
We took the newlyweds out for an fun funky outdoor session until 1pm. We had Syahril & Farah helping us out. I taught Farah the art of veil throwing. She’s a fast learner!

Syahril & Farah went back to KL the same day while we were too tired to drive back. So we stayed another night.

I went out at 6pm to try at Timelapse photography of The Floating Mosque.

Then the storm came in.

I had a simple dinner later with few friends.

Day 5 – Monday
We headed out of Kuala Terengganu at 9am. We drove slowly and stopped at couple of places.

Thanks to my Garmin, I’d marked few places for future references and for my future outdoor sessions in Terengganu.

We spent about 2 hour in Kuantan. Since it was an internetless weekend in Terengganu, we stopped by Starbucks in Kuantan to catch up with emails and whatnots. We left at about 4pm and arrived at WOW at about 7pm.

Tired but inspired.

Am looking forward to this weekend and the weekend after. I will be in Seremban this week and Kuala Kangsar the weekend after.

I love to travel!

Til the next post.

Mr. Azmi, the owner of Simply Spice Restaurant called me up last month and wanted to do a photography session on the food at his restaurant. I knew Mr. Azmi earlier this year when I was on assignment with my friend, Sheila on his restaurant.

After so many postponements and delays, we’d finally got to do it yesterday.

I brought one portable studio light (300W) with softbox and couple of Nikon SB800s for the lighting. For the box itself, I used a home made product box made of 4 luminous (white) “cardboard” (Sorry. I don’t know the proper name for the 4 boards.) I bought them at Popular Bookstore.

I shot using Nikkor 35-105mm Macro with fixed setting through out the shoot – ISO 200 and Shutter 1/125s. I only open up or close down the aperture if the scene is under or over exposed.

Enough of technicalities. Let’s drool over the yummylicious photos! (I forgot most of the dishes name!)

The best homemade Beef Pie I’d ever tasted! Fresh and filling!

Inside the pie. Yummy!

The Lamb Shank – served with Mashed Potatoes and greens.

Love Boat – Sausage wrapped with Chicken – Served with French Fries and greens. Spicy; Malaysian Style.

The Dory

The fish & chips

The Chicken Mushroom

The signature dish – Nasi Tumpang Ayam Panggang Bersenggek

3 hours of shooting time. We got to taste the food itself and I can vouch for its uniqueness and tastiness.
