house and the sea

Chalet : Perak

Chalet: Port Dickson

House, not chalet. - Tonle Sap Cambodia

we had invested quite a lot

in ecotourism by the river and sea

over in Perak, Manjong area.

we make it simple

to blend well with the surroundings

I had been to Port Dickson

and their chalets a bit too stark and bold

I had been to Cambodia

over there houses looked like chalet.

I had been to Philippine

where I formulated the whole idea 

as society gets too modern

people has to relearn

about life and nature

which some never feel before.

and that is the little story

about investing in nature

as we get deeper

into world we call modern.

all around us

even ummi pun jebik

when i  mention

about a house in vastness of sawah padi

as my dream house

The house has to be of wood

very modest with minimal accessories

without aircond and fans

just wind to cool heat down.

with 

paddy growing everywhere

a source of life, 

with water all around

a source of life too

with sepat and puyu 

as a source of protein

we couldn't ask for more

and I will look for one.

cruising

At times

I hate water
for I can't swim

It's a lake

so large that they call sea

it's Tonle Sap
a place I have been to
and over there I felt in love
with the tourism at its best
blending setting of old and new
sustainability

LAKE HOUSE - life is not a book

lake house 

lake house

you didn't come  

i dont understand
something must have happened
I am sorry
I got two years
we can try again

no alex
its too late
it already happened
it didnt worked

dont give up on me kate
what about persuasion
you told me
they wait, they meet again
they have another chance

life is not a book alex
and it can be over in a second
i was having lunch with my mother at dally plaza
and a man was killed right in front of me
he died in my arms
and i thought
it cant just end like that
on valentine's day
and i thought about all the people who love him
waiting at home
will never see him again
and then I thought
what if there is no one
what if you live
your whole life
and no one is waiting
so i drove to the lake house
waiting for any kind of answer
and i found you....

and i let myself get lost
lost in this beautiful fantasy
with time stood still
but its not real alex
i have to learn live a life
that i got

please dont write anymore
dont try to find me
let me let you go



alex and kate
