WOW!
Thanks for sending me the link to this great journal which I hadn't seen before, likely because I was IN Malaysia w/o a computer? ;o) Several of them I saved in my screen saver file, ie the lotus pix & the awesome Ubudiah Mosque pix. I love the embossed look of that one. Very effective. Were your Ipoh/Kellie's castle pix taken when we 'did' Ipoh together or did you get new ones? ;o) Several pix took my breath away - floating hut, raintree blvd, FMS blue 5 foot way, & 'misty'. Don't forget that the tower at Teluk Intan is on my 'to do list' (wink)
