But ever since sembreak, which started last week, I have been really motivated to get this blog up and going. I created a new header, since I managed to get the Photoshop program from Ming Han and he taught me the few basics, and with the help of google, I manage to create my own headers. Yay!
Now let's get back to the point.
Being a typical islander, I love the beach. Funny thing is ever since I left to Kampar to study, I often long to go back to the beach, even more so than I was in Penang, it's like a part of me is missing, as if I am actually not used to not having the sea around me. A friend of mine once made a statement, Penang people NEEDS the sea/beach.. If they leave to other places, the one thing that they will miss most is the beach. I am not certain enough to say that this is true, but I know I always find myself falling in love each time my bare feet touches the warm sand and cold sea water.
So the other day, when the peeps from Kulim and Mukit Mertajam came to the island, together with the city boy all the way from Kajang who was in town for that few days, we decided to go down to the beach, regardless of the time constraint and traffic jam. I mean, beach please, it's the freaking beach we are talking about. (Pun totally intended! :p )
I love the thrill of the sea waves crashing towards shore and sweeping away the sand beneath your feet. It still startles me sometimes, especially when the waves are strong, because it feels like you are being swept away, literally.
There was this boat floating on the water right in front of us, as if it's begging us to capture it together with the picturesque background.
Another thing to love about the beach, I love how the sun gleams and reflects on the sea water, making the lighting so perfect to take photos. I believe that the right amount of sunlight is in fact better than any photo filters you can find.
I love this candid shot of myself, sweat glistening on my forehead, looking unladylike, but absolutely happy. Sun, sea, sand, good company, it's impossible to not feel this way.
Because after all, this is home, and home is where the heart is. <3
Love,
