“The buffet sucks and not worth the $.”

The buffet cost about RM108++ for Saturday Seafood Buffet. I would consider myself not very picky on food, but still I am very disappointing with the food there with this kinda price. Don’t quite like ambient of the restaurant, it’s like some company’s cafeteria. I have tried out the Hard Rock Hotel in Bali, the food and restaurant environment was excellent but this one in Penang is nowhere close to it. Off course, if you are comparing to other Hotel’s buffet in Penang, I have no complaints with my experience at Parkroyal or Rasa Sayang.

If you plan to visit the hotel for dinner, I would recommend you to avoid the buffet but rather give it a try at the Hard Rock Cafe. I think the food served at Hard Rock Cafe will be pretty standard and should be less (or no) surprise.

With all these attractive info I got from internet and my colleagues in US, it became my first targeted place to visit when I was there in AZ. It only takes about 2 hours drive to travel from the place I stayed to Sedona, hence it’s a great place to visit for a short trip plan.  There are quite a number of great scenary spots you can visit in Sedona but due to time limitation, I only got to visit a few of them. In which, the Church of the Holy Cross is one my top rank places to visit, due to it’s stunning architechture built over the top of the hill.

As mentioned in my Arizona Diaries – Monument Valley post before, I had to travel to Arizona for my company’s product transfer assignment; and these photos we taken when I was on my way there and also around the place that I was staying. It marked the beginning of my journey to the desert land….

I’m slowly making some progress digging out those photos taken during my trip there, stay tune!

Next stop will be at Sedona.

话说经上次“一年不如一年呀” 的耻辱后，心有不甘；约了魔人决定再战极乐寺！！

主角还是大家熟悉的”Jagung”;  当然, 要跳出不拍”Jagung”的匡匡决非易事,

不过如果连”Jagung”都拍不好的话, 拍”Jagung”旁的事与物也就更不用提了…

成果？= “还好”。。。|||-.-

由于“黄金时段”相当短暂， 只好放弃了到”Jagung”低下取景的念头, 就保留给下次吧.

This shots was taken when Ah Lake wanted to do his practice after the theory session. Photo taken with my Sony R1 without tripod but just putting it on the ground instead. I could have better composed the shot with a tripod at a higher level from the ground.

Ok, this place is called Monument Valley. It is located on the southern border of Utah with northern Arizona and it took about 6 hours of non-stop driving from Chandler (where I stayed, somewhere near Phoenix). Although it is a bit crazy to drive 6+ hours just to see this, but it is a priceless experience to me.

I guess I was lucky enough to catch this sunrise right before the photo session of Chia Huey near Jerejak Jetty. The color of the sky was so nice but that golden moment just stayed for seconds; my next few shots not turned out as good.
