One day I will be beautiful
A hairy caterpiller which was spotted as we were walking along a dirt road in the jungles of Cameron Highlands. I'm not sure what kind of butterfly this unfriendly looking thing will transform into! Having said that, as we continued walking down the path, there were loads of pretty butterflies fluttering around us, and I'm sure this caterpiller will be just as stunning once it has metamorphosised.

A spot with a view
The foreground shows the biggest tea plantation in of Cameron Highlands, located roughly about 5000 feet above sea level. If I remember correctly, they process about 25,000 kg of tea per day!
The background shows what the terrain used to be like before it was cleared for the tea plantation - ancient and dense rainforests.

Gold
Public Bank Building in Kuala Lumpur. I have always liked this building because of the play of angles and geometrics.
To Richard, here's your favourite building!

The best curry house in town
My favourite restaurant in Penang, a curry restaurant owned and managed by so far, six generations of an Indian Muslim family. Although the appearance is somewhat rustic (to put it mildly), the food here is to die for. Located in the heart of old Penang.

Blessings
This was taken at the entrance of Kek Lok Si temple in Penang, one of the largest Buddhist temples in South East Asia. Perched on a hill, it commands a magnificent view of the surroundings.

One of the oldest shopping streets in Penang, this was a view taken during a trishaw ride.

Electric blue
I spotted this wall as I was walking along Penang's Chinatown - the vividness of the blue seemed to be so out of place compared with the rest of the peeling paint surrounding it. Of course, seeing this exposed socket on an outer wall of a building where tropical rainstorms occur almost on a daily basis did not inspire much confidence! :)
Primary colours
Well, almost. This was taken in Georgetown in Penang.
There was no colour manipulation for the sky, just my polarizing filter gone a bit beserk!
