+ Sunrise Seeking +

29th & 30th August 2009 - Mission : Catch Sunrise


I cant believe i actually FORGOT to blog about this experience i had recently...a fun, yet eventful adventure to Damai to catch sunrise! I've long heard suggestions from ppl around me about catching sunrise there, and this time i actually get to experience it myself...

So around 10.30pm our car came and we set off. We went to this restaurant(i forgot the name liao..haizz) to meet up with another 2 friends, who had their own car...after a teabreak together at the restaurant we were set to go...

Since it was still early we pondered where to go...in the end we went all the way to Sejinkat area....and i got to see CM's 'property'..walao...so big..haha...we drove and drove and wandered around town as well until one of them got hungry and we decided to go Open Market in town to eat...met some unwanted people(at least to them) but there was no incident...saw a lot of ppl coming there to eat...obviously just finished clubbin =/ it is a hotspot for ppl to chill down after all that clubbing~~~

After done eating...it is still TOO early to set off to Damai..after all the journey will only take us approx. 1hr like that...what to do? Kill time at Waterfront there....ahahahha!!! We walked only one part of the Waterfront...as it is a very dangerous place to be at night..after sitting there for another hour we felt....RAINDROPS!!!!

Feeling slightly letdown by the possibility of rain we started out journey to Damai...as we went along the rain got heavier and heavier...at one point so heavy we pondered whether to contine our journey or not...but with the thinking that perhaps it wont rain in Damai we continued on...

We drove and drove until we reach a high place and stopped our car. It was already 4am sumthing. By this time there was already frequent lightnings and the rain still falling, but somewhat lighter...we played around with our cameras in the car, me camwhoring in the dark ^^ and Del trying his hand at catching the lightning with his camera...he did catch sum shots and it was amazing! Photography needs alot of patience....xD

When 5am hits we went down from where we are because we deduced we wouldnt see the sunrise from there as the spot is better for sunsets...so we went down the hill and into the resort itself...parked there, got down but were told by two ppl that we couldnt be there..told us to come back at 7am =S

So in the end we decided to drive straight to the beach instead...by the Santubong route...amidst a minor drama(ok it wasnt that minor. wasted alot of time and by the time we were ok with it sunlight is starting to shine...rain had completely stopped..) we managed to find a road that leads us to the beach....

The Road where we went to the beach....




The right side if the beach when i stepped on it




Mountaintop



More shots...when the sunlight already dawned on us full force...




More pics from the beach can be found in my Facebook and DeviantArt (http://chainliteproductions.deviantart.com)...hope u enjoy the post so far...no there wasnt any sun rising at the horizon that type of shots...cos....the sunrise there wasnt like that =.="" but i do hope maybe sumday i will experience that kind of sunrise~~~


As an extra...



Does this look like a band album cover to you? Haha!! Well i took this pic with a song album type of shot in mind..and when i was processing this pic i cant help but put the mock band name 'Sunrise Seekers' and their 'album' 'When Dawn Comes'...LOL...hehe...
