the personal blog of C.K.Koay
I’ve been religiously keeping a close watch on my Flickr stats page this week because I am nearing the 100k views landmark.
As of today, I officially did.
Wow…100,967 unique people from around the world actually viewed my photos, collections or sets.

Georgetown is probably one of the most historically interesting city in Malaysia. Though I was born there, I had never truly visited the historical heart of the city, until lately.
On July 8, 2008 Penang and Melaka were given World Heritage Site status by UNESCO because of their “remarkable examples of historic colonial towns on the Straits of Malacca that demonstrate a succession of historical and cultural influences arising from their former function as trading ports linking East and West”.
When I was in Penang last week, I saw for myself why this island truly deserved this international recognition. I’ve tried to capture and reproduce the mood and atmosphere of the place through these pictures but nothing can really substitute the particular buzz of the place as much as being there in person.
Do check out the rest of the picture set at my Flickr page.

I finally upgraded my trusted and reliable Nikon D70 to the new feature packed Nikon D300. Initially, there were some adjustments to get used to as the D300 lacked various presets like Auto, Portrait, Sports, etc. However, after taking 500 shots and reading through the manual, I’m pretty used to it by now.
