Travel and Photography | Mah Meri Puja Pantai Ritual | Pulau Carey
© 2016 Wazari Wazir | Members of Malaysia’s Indigenous Mah Meri Tribe During Puja Pantai Ritual “Puja Pantai” means appeasing the spirits of the seas. The ritual started many years ago when a “tongkang” (ship) carrying passengers and supplies was caught in a big storm of the Carey Island coast, near to Tanjung Rhu faces the Malacca Straits. None of the islanders thought that the ship would survive the storm. To their surprise the ship appears to be dragged to the shores by some unknown forces into safety during the storm.

Travel And Photography | Mah Meri Tribe, Puja Pantai Ritual | Pulau Carey

Yes, it was true, I’ve nothing to argue, in fact we can get some good picture inside our home, or just within the boundary of our home.

Indahnya Suasana Pagi Di Desa | Kuala Langat
© 2016 Wazari Wazir | Indahnya Suasana Pagi Di Desa | Kuala Langat “Look at Children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don’t usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with that person the following day.” – Dalai Lama – Gambar-gambar di atas ni bukan lakonan tetapi…

Merakam Foto Keluarga Di Ladang Kelapa Sawit | Kuala Langat
© 2016 Wazari Wazir | Family Photography Trip at Palm Plantation Sebelum anda semua buat pelbagai andaian, biarlah saya tulis sikit, kami sebenarnya telah berpindah ke daerah Kuala Langat awal tahun ini. So bukan kami datang dari Sungai Besi hingga ke Kuala Langat semata-mata untuk bergambar dengan pokok-pokok kelapa sawit ni. Takde kerja nak datang jauh-jauh semata-mata nak ambil gambar keluarga.

Moral of the story, tak perlu nak pergi jauh pun nak merakam gambar keluarga. So, gambar di atas ni, saya rakam setelah berjoging di sekitar…
