Songkram, water festival in Phuket, Thailand

I went to Phuket Island during the Songkram festival. In Thailand, it is one-day festival no one should give a miss. People, whether they are native Thais or tourists take part in the event by lining on the road shoulders with hand either equipped with water pistols, bucket or even a nozzles with readily running water. They just shoot you with the water and no one should not be offended or angry at them as the act is actually a shower of blessings.

Me and my wife still at Phi phi Lay Island.

The Phuket Fantasea Theme Park located to the north of Patong town but before reaching the Kamala Beach. Only open at night.

Tea plantation, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

This is the first place I went after I bought the legendary Nikon D50 DSLR camera. Still giggle a bit and most of my photos didn't turn to what I expected. The first photos is using the Nikkor telelense 70-300mm at full expand and below just using my kit lense 18-55mm.

Cameron Highlands is a quiet farming village and is the famous temperate agricultural domain in West Malaysia.

U2 - Stuck In The Moment

I am not a big fan of Irish rock band U2 until I heard this beautiful song. Enjoy!

Stuck In A Moment Lyrics
Artist(Band):U2

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you. Ooh.
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
'Cause tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool
To worry like you do.. Oh
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh lord look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you cant gt out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass
