Today it drizzled briefly in the late morning; towards the afternoon, the rain stopped. We went to
Teluk Bahang Dam in the late afternoon after our church service to watch the
Penang International Dragon Boat Festival Races 2006 (held in there from
27 till 28 May 2006). I posted a
post on Teluk Bahang Dam not long ago.
Since 2002, the
Penang International Dragon Boat Festival (PIDBF) has been staged in Teluk Bahang Dam. The dam, located 1.2km from the seas off the northern coast of Penang Island, offers an ideal racing environment with scenic views of the hills and coastline.
I will say.. the weather is extremely hot... The nice weather with bright sunlight is good for photo shooting, but definitely not good for the skin (but who cares ? - Seems like
I'm darker my skin has nice tan now -
hitam manis).
I had never been to a dragon boat race before. Can't see much cos the participants and the dragon boats are so far away. Cheh, no nice looking colourful dragon boats... Can't hear any loud drums also.. So disappointing.
So we just stayed for a short while and took few shots before leaving to my next destiny -
the Penang Floral Festival & Lantern Festival :) This is gonna be
my first & last time visiting the Penang International Dragon Boat Festival Races :P

Almost wanted to make trip to Penang to see the boat races. Since so boring, lucky didn't. But the ones in HK look so fun...with such colourful boats.
How about the Chingay parade? Any fun that one?
Looking forward to your floral and lantern pixes.

Fa Pie will be out soon.. Pretty soon..

luckily u didn't come, or else u will be really disappointed :D Sorry lah, I have never visit The Giant Flags Procession or the Chingay parade, so I can't make any comment on that :)
The Floral & lantern festival pict will be out soon..
I love the panoramic shots you have occasionally of the landscapes in Malaysia.
You have a beautiful country there. Take more photos man!
chuang,
thanks for liking the picture ;) I will post more pictures on & off.
Yeah, Malaysians are blessed to have such a beautiful country with beautiful landscape, but sad to say that there are many out there who don't really appreciate it :)
Wow That's so cool, I wish I could be there to see that
thao,
but.. you can't really see much cost it's so far away, unless you bring a binocular for clearer view :D
