Back to cenfad / KLCC architour.

nobody@vox.com(Linolumixa) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 22:20:39 +0800

I took over a hundred of pictures when I was out of my backyard recently, but I won't write it in a regular 'out-of-town weekend in review' method because I don't go by that format anymore. Somewhere in the southern part of the Malay peninsula......

nobody@vox.com(Linolumixa) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 01:22:14 +0800

Sight-seeing.

nobody@vox.com(Linolumixa) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:53:59 +0800
