Good design is obvious, great design is transparent

Exploring
Colourful Melaka
FEB 2020
A collection of photos taken in Melaka as I stroll through the streets that seems to have stopped in time, appreciating every conserved shop house while being inspired by the adaptive reuse ones.
I personally believe that it is by foot, you'll get the true experience.

Visiting
Xi'An, China
OCT 2019
A series of photos taken in Xi'An, China (home to the well known Hot Pot chain store, Hi Di Lao)Â Amazing pieces of architecture, although mostly are rebuilt as the original did not stand the test of time, it still shows the massive scale and of these buildings.

Visiting
Johannesburg & Cape Town, South Africa
MAY 2019
An eye opening visit to South Africa. During the 10 day trip, we visited two cities, Johannesburg and Cape Town. Both are very distinct and have different things to offer. One of the highlight was definitely Sun City, the pioneer of a theme park x hotel, the idea behind the Malaysian Sunway Lagoon and Sunway Pyramid.
