I went wet

Another weekend runaway, mini one.

Follow Babby Bear to go to his project site, in Ulu Langat.

For Babby, for the owner and for me this is very special project. The owners were a malay couple, hubby is a doctor while wife is a professor in UM, and the hubby's mum is a partner of a property investment company.

3 of them were searching a dream house of 'em for past few year. Ain't fancy house with euro style. But very traditional Malay house.

They don't want to build a house up, but they looking for some really old house that worth to be keep.

They're Babby's client aka friends, Babby too keep an eye of this kind of houses for them, and finally Babby found a very traditional house with 70 years old, which goin to be remove soon by government for highway build.

So Babby bring them to have a look, and they love the house in first sign, so they bought the house, with 8k.

But this house is far from KL, so they decided to move the house to their own land in Ulu Langat.

Move, like how?

They ask help from Babby, measure the size and make marks on every single pieces of the woods, then remove it one by one, and "move" the whole house to the new place.

This is a challenge, old woods are fragile, and the size must me very accurate, because this house doesn't use any single nail!

Babby took this project not for money, for his friend's dream house, and for his own profile.

And i touched by this family for not giving up in searching and building their dream house. I proud with Babby, not only because of took the challenge, but in helping his client as his friend, building the other people dream house as building his =).


The house builded beside a river, in a very peaceful village with a lot of fruit trees planted around. I just simply love the environment.


The river is unbelieveable clean and clear, a lot of village kids spend their hot afternoon time in the river, with joy and fun.




Those kids caught me while i took their photos, being a city people i feel shy at first, but soon they asked me to join, i quickly thrown Xiao P aside and jump in to the cool river, just enjoy the natural.

A while later kids' mum yelled them for lunch, so i said goodbye and claim up to the land, while Babby still meeting with the owner. I walked around to get something to capture, then i found this..


Grow by the labor of Babby who building this house up.










The first time for me to capture bird/chicken with Xiao P, of course i don't go too close, i just zoom in and the effect is not bad at all.
I specially love the color, although the last 2 photos of chick is a little too bright, but hey, as for Xiao P standard, i consider this is not bad at all.

I used to end the post with my own photos, but there is no mirror and i tried to self capture with Xiao P, i look exactly like a pig. So on the way back, i saw this lotus, zoom in and took a quick shoot.
And this is one of my favor too.


Ok i clear the blog!! now work.. =.=
