Photohunters Theme : Original

photohunters2mo1

This week’s theme is original. This city is called Kuching or literally cat in Malay. It is original because there are cat images all over the place. There is even a museum dedicated to cats.

In this era of mass tourism, replicas and copies are everywhere. But not this throne. This is an original imported to Sarawak about a century ago. Even then it was already an antique.

This is also a priceless antique. It looks absolutely beautiful. Notice the intricate art work.

lion-chinese

This is an original Chinese cupboard still in immaculate condition. It is believed to be more than a century old. Beautifully preserved.

Please offer a prayer for the oppressed in BBC on Myanmar.

These flowers are a way of saying thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. :) Why am I so mushy mushy today? I feel great this morning and in the mood to hug my wife, my kid and every one of you. Don’t worry I am not a serial hugger or something like that but today is a special day :) My beloved wife ( omg I am so mushy mushy today ) and I and my kid for leaving for a weekend holiday trip to Sarikei.

Have a great weekend every body!
