【17返馬】20170708-09。啟程 NL – KLIA – Miri

IMG_3152.jpg

今年暑假回馬來西亞五個星期,是有史以來步調最緩慢的一趟。7號重考完,8號就趕緊向美里投奔。這篇記載從荷蘭到美里的行程,上圖為馬來西亞檳城第二大橋(全長24公里,其中16.9公里跨越大海,為東南亞最長的跨海大橋)。
This year, I went back to Malaysia for 5 weeks during summer holiday. After resit on 7th of July, I started immediately my journey at the next day. This post’s going to share the photos from the Netherlands to Miri. Above is the photo of Penang Second Bridge, or Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge. The total length of the bridge is 24 km with length over water at 16.9 km, making it the longest bridge in Malaysia and the longest in Southeast Asia (wikipedia).

按快門成癮,讓大家好奇的是:到底Susanna是怎麽處理自己的照片的?

如今有張32GB的記憶卡為伴,想拍就拍、不會束手束腳,相對也需要更多的容量來儲存照片。從幾百個MB到GB、再擴大到TB,我是不打印照片、也不做實體相簿的。剛開始有單眼,還拍些RAW檔,現在只有可能需要後製的照片才加RAW檔,不然都是直出,除了縮圖和打水印,基本上是原汁原味、沒有任何後製動作。

其實搞攝影的都是挑精華,下足功夫,就求幾張經典之作。我這常常選光圈或快門優先、偶爾用手動的傢伙,說得上有費心的就只是構圖和整體流程細節,所以至今都不敢跟玩攝影的人聊什麽技巧。說白就一自high的,雖然每每挑照片都很頭疼,但還是很有成就感。

在大家轉瘋類單眼和手機攝影的當下,我也不知道自己還會堅持多久扛小白、做“肌訓”,但拎著相機按快門還真的上癮,反正記憶體越來越便宜,拍了再說唄!

【怡軒純文】20170822。把握當下

前天下午,隔壁家的爺爺跟巴特聊起他自己兩次病重(其中一次昏迷兩個月)康復,昨天下午就碰到他被救護車接走。雖然他躺在擔架上、人也很清醒,但我看了還是心裡狂揪一下,希望老爺爺這次又平安回來。

最近聽到不少年紀輕輕就走完一生的事兒,人終歸一死,誰都不曉得哪天就呼吸不到第二天的空氣了。所以,還是把握當下為佳。想完成的心願別拖著,趁體力好、精神好就趕快行動,別等到哪天沒那個本錢或沒那個機會了才後悔。

暑假返馬五週後,回來荷蘭也整十天了,眼見下週一就開學,一切都該回歸正軌了。

這次回家是最輕鬆寫意的一次,除了跟大妹和學姐湘群去遊尼亞和姆魯國家公園的那三天有操到,其他時間的節目完全沒什緊湊性,就光享受悠哉的假期。後三個星期有巴特和公公婆婆的加入,數數還是在六個城鎮留下足跡和回憶。回來之後,光整理近萬張的照片和灌照片的GPS位置就花了幾天,現在照片已進入最後的篩選,大致可以貼文了。

這學段的課還是有點多,但少了拼學分的壓力,希望能夠在年底前把今年暑假的遊記上完,不然疊上明年初台灣行(沒錯,我們又要去台灣走走了!),肯定有陷入沒完沒了的狀態。

回歸正軌,也意味讓自己重新忙碌起來。沒辦法,閒下來了就人生的方向感盡失,無所適從,勞碌命就是勞碌命說!

【16返馬】20160715。吉膽島 Pulau Ketam (1)

IMG_9734.jpg

吉膽島(Pulau Ketam),馬來文名字的直譯就是“螃蟹島”(Pulau=島,Ketam=螃蟹)。此島位於雪蘭莪州巴生港外,面積約30平方公里,居民約九千人,以華人居多。因為全島位於潮汐線下,所以建築物都建在高腳柱子上。這裡以漁業為重,也是著名的旅遊景點(參考維基)。說到吉膽島,老馬識途的都去吃新鮮的海鮮,我們當然也不例外了。這是去年去吉膽島拍的照片,既然已經挑了就貼上了吧!
Pulau Ketam (Pulau=Island, Ketam=Crab) is a famous tourist spot of Selangor, Malaysia, and it is located nearby Port Klang. The locals are mainly Chinese. There are two Chinese villages on the island, and fishing is the major economic activity here. Due to its location at intertidal zone, the buildings are on wooden (or cement) pillars. Nowadays, Pulau Ketam is also an unique spot to visit for culture and seafood. This’s our trip in 2016, but as the photos were selected already, I update this aging post as well to recall our visiting to this island. Continue reading

【Vietnam】20160712。河內的景德鎮–缽場 Bát Tràng Ceramic Village, Hanoi (1)

IMG_9107.jpg

缽場(Bát Tràng)是越南河內著名的陶瓷村,有“河內的景德鎮”之稱。我們慕名而來,大妹想找靈感兼買紀念品,我和巴特就當著是趟文化之旅,欣賞在越南醞孕出來的陶瓷文化。
Last day in Hanoi, we went to Bát Tràng to spot for souvenir. “Bát Tràng (literally: bát is bowl and tràng is workshop) is an old, well established village in the Gia Lâm district of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. It is about 13 km from central Hanoi. It is famous for producing a unique style of ceramics called Bát Tràng Porcelain. Bát Tràng is well known throughout Vietnam for its beautiful ceramics.” (Source: wikipedia) Continue reading

【Vietnam】20160711。沙壩-河內 Sapa to Hanoi

IMG_8893.jpg

下午三點半,我們到了沙壩市場前的長途巴士站,心驚膽跳地拿著在河內領的收據去確認回程的位子。四點正,我們的巴士準時開車。雖然回程的景色更來程一樣,但還是很賞心悅目。晚上十點半,我們回到河內,到酒店附近的小餐廳吃了晚餐(宵夜?),就回酒店休息,準備第二天去陶瓷村淘寶。
We arrived Sapa bus station at 15:30pm, and confirmed our bus tour back to Hanoi. Our bus departed at 16pm on time. It took 6,5 hours until we finally arrived our hotel in Hanoi. We decided to have our dinner nearby our hotel and went to bed early, to prepare for the tour to Bat Trang Ceramic Village the next day.
