A large gathering of people waiting outside Pavilion Kuala Lumpur for the Christmas countdown celebration.



And with the New Year approaching, let's all have a fabulous year-end and welcome 2013 with a big bang. I'm really looking forward to the festive gathering at Auto City Penang to ring in the New Year.

Our World - Hotel room with splendid views

We stayed at the Delpino Golf & Resort in Gangwon-do during our time at Mount Sorak. The large balcony of our room offers  breathtaking views of the mountain and surrounding areas.

These photos are  some of my favourite collections taken at night and early morning. The place is truly enormous and it's tough to capture  the entirety of the landscape with just one photo. It would have been better if you have one of those 360 degree cameras to capture them all. :)

Our World - Dragon Head Rock, Jeju Island

As the name implies, the unusual rock formation is said to be the shape of a dragon’s head that lies on the beautiful seashore at Jeju Island in South Korea. There are many legends associated with the origin of this rock, but the one I find most fascinating was that a dragon was sent to Halla Mountain to gather bullocho, a herb of eternal youth, but unfortunately, he was struck with the arrow of the enraged mountain god. This turned him into stone, his head looking up towards heaven and his body submerged in the sea.



Also known as Yongduam Rock, it is one of the nine sites in Jeju Island that has been awarded the status of UNESCO Global Geoparks. According to my tour guide, the unique landscapes were the result of volcanic eruptions and thousands and thousands of years of wind, water and lava forming them into different shapes today.



It was drizzling and windy when we first arrived and taking sharp pictures were rather difficult as the only sources of light were spot light bulbs placed along the pathways.



Despite of the strong wind and cold weather, I was glad I was able to get a few good shots in such circumstances.



A great place to spend time with your loved one, enjoy the beauty and solitude and sound of the waves.

Our World - Christmas in the air

Since Christmas is just a few weeks away, I thought it would be nice to start off the week sharing some Christmas photos captured at Yeoju Premium Outlets in South Korea. Everything looks so festive here and I'm really excited for this time of year.

Cute and cuddly teddy bears calling for attention



A cool Mini Coupe decorated with reindeer antlers and a yellow nose. How cute! I would love to take it for a joyride. :)



Delightful reindeers grinning happily enjoying the occasion.



And here's little Santa, all ready for the yuletide season.
