Presint 2, Putrajaya

Since I moved down to Kuala Lumpur, I had chance to do the things that I always wanted to do. Photography is one of that 'thing' I consider as my passion. Initially I wanted to go to the wetlands, but having multiple turns and rounds, I still can't get to the opposite side of the road. The road in Putrajaya was made in such a way that a wrong turn will take you another 5 km to turn back, which is all the hassle. Drawn by the height of this bridge, I drove towards it instead.

From far, it looks like a yacht. From near, it looks awesome. This is one of the structural marvel that should be seen in real life. Many, including me, had make this bridge as their wedding photo shooting scene. Not unsurprising, as the lines drawn are very sharp and geometry wise it is in its harmony.Simply beautiful.

The complex network of wires and frames

Parallel lines

Sky curtain

The thick pillar

Twisting of the lines

Butterfly

Geometry is simply brilliant!

Last Moments of A Bachelor's Life


I guess a man always want to feel belonged. After having a stable career, he wants a family, a wife to journey the life, couple of children to share the joy, a house to live in and a group of good friends. He can't wait to start the family and get married. But I guess, human are always confused. He will have mixed feelings. On the verge of marriage, he will think of all the responsibility that is going to fall on his shoulders. Is this the right decision? I mean, what can a person lose when getting married? My married friend told me, you loose a lot. Gone were the days of partying till the wee hours in the morning, hanging out with friends, traveling alone to odd places,  talking simply about everything: who is the new 'chic' pharmacist, who is going to win the election or what is the best condom brand. Welcome to the real world. Now who is going to wake up to attend to the baby cry? Who is going to change his diaper, feed him milk? All the talks centered around the best formula milk, the most ergonomic stroller, and the nursery that abuse their kids.

It sounds like nightmare, isn't it? I feel scared sometimes.

My friend also told me, you will gain a lot. You'll have a life partner, to share the joy when you are up in the sky, and to comfort you when you're down on your knees. Behind every success man, there is always an even more capable woman to support him, to buffer him and most of all, to love him. There will never be a dull moment in your life. When the right time comes, and you are blessed with your first born, that joy is indescribable. It felt like your life is complete. If gives you a reason to come home after work, to quickly put aside your work and start your life. It puts a smile on your face that worth a million dollar. Though there are hard times, sleepless nights, seeing him grow up is the best thing you can hope for.

Now, I am not scared anymore.
