SHAH’S RAMBLINGS

After the recent failed attempt to explore deeper into the forest at the Tawau Hills Park, I was itching to go back there to see more of what the place had to offer. And so on Merdeka day rather than spending the entire day bored to death alone in the hotel room, a friend and I [...]

Our good ol’ friend Josh was in town recently and over the weekend we paid a visit to this idyllic cultural village located along

This is perhaps one of those entries where the photos are able to do much more justice to a place than any amount of rambling could ever hope to achieve. So, let’s let the

If you thought Kiansom waterfall in the previous entry was nice, this place we went to right after our short stop in Kiansom is a hundred times more serene. These are the pics taken at Sg Kibunut in Babagon along the

According to Ismardi the water level was lower than usual thanks to the dry spell the north has been experiencing lately. But still there were pockets of water along [...]

After witnessing the Angkor sunrise on our second day in Cambodia, our next destination was Kbal Spaen. But before starting the long journey there we made a quick pit stop at the Halal restaurant in town for breakfast and to pack some lunch for our refueling session at Kbal Spaen later.
