Off to a tropical island

This is a scheduled post. Teddy is currently on vacation and will have limited access to the Internet. You might want to check out his Twitter feed though – he’s still tweeting through phone.

As you’re reading this post, I’m most probably be scuba diving off the white sandy beaches of the Perhentian Islands. If the weather is unforgiving, I’ll be cooping in my own little hut at Bubbles Resort (what a cute name, isn’t it?). My aunt travels to the Perhentian Islands every year with her best friend, and this year she’s very nice to extend an invitaiton to my brother and I to join them on a road trip. We’ll be travelling from Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia where our homes are located at the outskirts of the capital, across the Malaysian peninsula over to the east coast. It’s a 5-day-4-night trip – we’ll be spending the first night at her friend’s house, then two nights at Bubbles Resort on the island proper, and then another night at a place I’m yet to hear of, and home sweet home.

I’ve went on a shopping rampage yesterday at LowYat (a shopping center specialising in tech and gadget-related stuff, offers really great deals) – spending $400 on a decent Velbon tripod, a backup CF card in case I run out of memory and a spare compatible battery for my A200. I guess I’m getting really excited about the trip because I’ll be lugging most of my camera equipments over, including all my filters and etc, so do expect photo spamming after I get all the things sorted out when I return.

I’ve been spending some time post-processing photos I’ve taken from my recent Genting Highlands trip, so here’s a little teaser before I upload the whole lot of photos in a future update (stay tuned!).

Fonty Friday!

For this week, I’m featuring the font Delicious, designed by Jos Buivenga. What I love about Delicious is the unique italic typeface – instead of being just slanted roman (like skewing the normal font), it is a true italic. Characters are equally distinct from each other, and my favourite will be the ‘&’ character. Awesomeness!

That’s all for this update! I will be back by Sunday :)
