Today is the Hindu or Tamil (or both) New Year, depending on who you ask. The new year started at 7.28pm (but the temple that I went said 7.38pm).

I wish everyone a happy Sarvathiri new year. May the new year bring better tidings.

As for me, not a good start asĀ  two motorbike racers grazed my car on the way back from temple, causing the front bumper to come off. That means a trip to the workshop tomorrow.

Had the chance to visit Sungai Palas Tea Plantation, which belongs to BOH. The trip was at late afternoon, so no sunrise/sunset shots. The turn-off to Sungai Palas estate was about 2 minutes from Equatorial Hotel (heading towards Simpang Pulai). From the turn-off, its a 2km horror trip of single lane road. Its still seems to be a miracle how we could actually end up at the plantation. The curves were sharp and narrow, one wrong turn of the wheel, and its free fall into the tea plantation down below.

Managed to get on Internet today. Took the picture of sunrise (well, technically, it was already risen at 7.30am). And later in the afternoon, there was a complete rainbow for about 15 minutes. The weather is quite erratic over here. It rains at times in the afternoon or evenings, and even at night. Daytimes are quite hot when it is not raining.
