Lighthouse by MsXeRoZ Nicole

Pic by her friend.

When i was little & innocent as it may be, one of my favourite book is The Famous Five series by Enid Blyton. To be frank, i have read all her (series) books, and i was deeply affected by her writings. Being born in Malaysia, we weren't exposed to the scenes that she wrote in the book.

Island, Mysteries, Sunken Treasures...There were times i wish those were true and i am a part of the adventures.

Until when i was in Langkawi, this is the first time i see a lighthouse.

 

See here for more detail about her article.

Great picture of the lighthouse. Well, its located in Telaga Harbour on the way to the Cable Car
