One fine weekend, babe and me took a trip down to the sandy beaches of Port Dickson! The journey from Sunway took around 2 and a half hours. So in that
On the way there, we were talking happily until we started to talk about getting Bb to the UK this Christmas of 2010. There was a long silence. For one hour, my mind poured and schemed on how to get Bb to the UK. I'm a lousy multitasker, and babe was getting annoyed and thought that I did not want to talk to her. It was the longest drive ever.
Our first order of business was to get to the beach! We had strawberries because some weekends ago, Bb missed some from Cameron Highlands! See I so nice!
There were swinglets around the beach so as curious tourists, we took to the skies!
I had my trusty tripod and remote control. Note the kewl sunglasses i got from Lumut!
Whats the beach without your very own bikini girl! No wonder there's global warming...
Next was the swimming pool to cool down the heat! We had coconuts at the pool bar!
Did I mention they had a really big pool? Deep too. Would not recommend this place if you are: 1) short 2) not really good at swimming. Otherwise, you need a life guard or me!
Before dinner, we took to the lounge, trying to get everyone out of the frame.
Nice view from the tannoy. Over looking the swimming pool, there was a bunch of tourists staring at us!
But you think we cared?? We went on to get some more pics!
Then Bb, found the stairway interesting.
I was more into fancy lights! Speaking about lights, we decided to get some light painting done!
It was a first time experience for Bb who autographed this picture with my iPhone!
At night, the pool becomes a really scenic place as the lights turn everything into a spectacular glow!
With the help of a flash module and back lighting, we turned out evening into a romantic photoshoot!
And my model for the nite!
the clouds make an excellent background for the pool fountains!
Called the Rumah Api Tuan, the actual light house sits atop a cliff.
The fishermen in the back ground are actually 100 feet below us!
Getting there was a 20 minute hike and you become a blood donor, to mosquitoes.
But you can cheat, drive your car up for a small duit kopi!
What a visit to Port Dickson without getting some sand back! I am now a proud owner of 500 ml of PD sand!!
To see how clean PD was, one can find hermit crabs on the shoreline. Life!
Despite the offshore platforms in the distance, these platforms are just there for maintenance. There is no oil in Selat Melaka fyi!
