The Paddy Field, Seberang Perak

Here's something about me.

I was born in Johor Bahru but was brought up in Sitiawan, Perak for 17 years. Right after high school, i went straight into college & uni in Damansara Jaya. Immediately after that, did the twinning program in Australia & came back to KL.

So basically, most of the time, i'm always traveling, especially on roads. That also includes my family. We've been traveling since i was little until now.

Throughout these years of traveling on roads, in the sky or even the sea, i've found my favourite traveling route, which is to drive to & fro my hometown by crossing through a long, straight road with beautiful view of green paddy fields on both sides of the way & the vast reaches of the blue sky & clouds. That would be Seberang Perak.

My fave subjects, the old hut & the tree

It's amazing to know that no matter how often i travel through this area, it is still breathtakingly beautiful & mesmerizing. The colours of nature, the old huts by the roadsides & that lifeless looking tree that still stands strongly with nothing but just dry branches sticking out, making it the best subject while i took a landscape photo of it. Many years, i've been wanting to capture it & i finally did! I can't share how excited i felt back then at this place. I squealed, smiled, laughed & maybe even expressed out the 'Oooohhs...' & 'Ahhhhhs...' so many times that made mama & aunt shook their heads, laughing. That was how excited i was.

I think i looked quite silly. Imagine me with camera in my hands, body posture positioning motionless in the driver's seat for few mins & smiling while praising the beauty of the scenery & SNAP...captured a few shots. THE shots that i've been waiting to share with you all! My love for this route can only be shared through these photos. Only 3 will do. =)

Here's a paddy shot for u nature lover!

With Mew's Comforting Sounds tuning in the car, with a steady drive, I will think nothing but only the soothingness & calmness of this wide, open space. Stress free! Haih...

To experience what i feel for this place, then the only way is to take a slow drive through Seberang Perak while enjoying the view. If you are lucky, you might just get a glimpse of white storks flying around the green paddy fields. Oh, don't forget to bring along good music with you!

Luv Luv!
