Makan makan sekinchan

On Fourth day of lunar calender, me and some friends went to Sekinchan to find Justin Teh and have some local seafood. It those around 2 hours drive from KL, we departed from Koinmove's place at serdang around 9a.m.

There was some plan before we headed to Sekinchan, since all of us was own DSLR (no need to mention the skill) then decide to snap and eat at Sekinchan. We have a lunch after a small break at Justin's house right after a 2 hour drive.

When we reach the small restaurant which point by Justin, we snap, gadgeting, chit-chat while we waiting for the food.
Dunno wad game he was playing and made him so stress..










Just a snapping and playing gadget then we drive around to see this small town. Sekinchan was famous in two things: seafood and paddy field. After the seafood meal then we drive around the rice field. I couldn't snap any picture or upload any because the field was empty by not appropriate season to visit the paddy field. Then we head to the beach.









Not bad weather but the sun was too strong until it might cook someone.










the strong sunshine

near dawn, we visit a abandoned structure site and trying some shots about this abandoned architectural with the uncaring vegetation



















the structural framework trying to express the perspective and challenge time and climate.










structural movement often express within the perspective view










the vegetation starting emerge with the building, both uncaring situation was a forgotten by people and left the emptiness within it.










the sunset with the uncaring vegetation in the structure site creates a forgotten scene but yet desire to be redevelop.
