Journey to Pangkor (Malaysia) – September 1st & 2nd 2007

Posted by Ben Heys on September 4, 2007 with 2 Comments

It was a pre dawn wake up this morning as I had a sunrise shoot planned with a local model by the name of Geraldine (more on this perhaps in a later post). After that is was back to the backpackers to frantically pack and push the 11am check out time. A huge lunch (thanks to Celine ordering half the food court) later and we were struggling on with bursting bellies down to the Golden Mile complex to try to negotiate our way into Malaysia. Unfortunately as we found out when we got there it was some sort of... Read More ››

Arrived bright and early in Singapore this morning. In fact due to a beefy tailwind most of the way, we rocked up an hour earlier than we were due to (and we were due at the unholy time of 5:45am). Too bad Celine (slacker!) wasn’t as early as the plane. Also my cunning plan to get up the previous morning at 6am, stay awake all day and then pop a sleeping pill to ensure an unconscious plane trip was a total failure. There’s just no way I could find to fold this lanky frame of mine into those little... Read More ››

Blogging hiatus – September to November 2007

Malaysia / Thailand / Travel photography

Ok, time to stop being (quite) so slack. Had a bunch of people tell me to pull the finger out and get some more posts in here, so I’ll try to get back to updating it regularly. Aside from general laziness the main reason I’ve stopped posting is because I haven’t been travelling about too much. Really just settling into ‘living’ rather than ‘visiting’ here. ‘Here’ being bouncing between Phuket and Penang (Malaysia). Phuket: It was never even meant to be a stop on the tour at all as I figured it’d be too touristy for me. Turns out... Read More ››
