New Skyline in Medan Ipoh

Here come one of the modern looking condominium buildings in town. After 2 years of construction, D'Festivo eventually completed and making skyline change of the rapid developing Medan Ipoh. It would be further upgraded when the few under-construction skyscraper projects in the vicinity turn true.

The Heat Wave is Going to End

It is constantly raining during late afternoon everyday. Although not heavy enough to cure the warm atmosphere, it prevents the heat from accumulating day-to-day. Since the begin of rainy days, I believe this heat wave, probably the worst in the history of Malaysia, will be over soon.

Under Haze Attack

The Indonesia forest fire is, again, causing thick haze attacking Malaysia & Singapore. From east Malaysia to Southern states of Peninsula Malaysia, the haze is now entering the atmosphere of Ipoh. The first disappearing object from our sight are the surrounding hills & mountains. High rise buildings in the city are then become a simple but straight forward indication of the situation. It seems we will be living in such hazy environment for days, or even weeks, depend on how fast the forest fire can be put out.

Rising of Medan Ipoh

Medan Ipoh or Ipoh Garden East has been one of the most happening spots in Ipoh. There are restaurants, pubs, hawker centre, amusement centre & shopping complexes at the vicinity. All these used to be developed in low rise shophouses and land has become limited nowadays. Since the first high rise MH Hotel completed, it seems future projects are focusing in growing vertically. While D'Festivo Condominium still progressing aggressively, few more taller towers will rise adjacent to MH Hotel which will reach to a new height limit in Ipoh to have 30 floors. And yet there are several high rise proposals in the pipeline. Probably in 3 years, this Ipoh's northern gateway will display a new metropolitan skyline.

 

Gear Up at D'Festivo

The condominium of D'Festivo Residences at Ipoh Garden East will be another obvious landmark after MH Hotel at the North-South Expressway exit. The 22-storey building that located right beside the expressway has just begun constructing its tower block not too long ago but the progress seems promising. Despite the raining season, night work would have extended its building capacity and certainly helps in speeding the grow.

When the Storm Strikes Earlier

During this raining season, thunder storm in the afternoon is an everyday matter that either strikes sooner or later. Most of the times it is still a sunny day during lunch hours and the atmosphere begin to turn dark after 3pm. Anyway the routine is slightly shifted earlier today. Downpour is seen at Kledang range when I was on my way back to work after finished lunch.

Progressing D'Festivo Condo

Since the commencement of construction of D'Festivo Condominium, it is progressing quite rapidly. Tower crane at the site marks the location of this future landmark at North Ipoh exit of North-South Expressway. Upon completion, this will be one of the tallest building in Ipoh. There are several other projects in the pipe line which hit the height of more than 20 storey but still yet to see physical work carried out. If those are successful projects, Medan Ipoh (Ipoh Garden East) will display a completely new skyline that could compete Ipoh downtown.

 

Sunset, the 1000th Post

This blog have been established for more than 4 years, which I was never expected at the beginning. For many of my post, there are colourful sun rise and sun set photos. And in this post of 1000th, another beautiful painting in the sky is posted. Although the blog seemed to move a little slow due to my busy working life, but I will continue to share beautiful images of Ipoh as reciprocation to those who love to read this blog. Thank you for your support all the while :)
 

Natural Colouring Show at Medan Ipoh

This is dinner time where the sky starts to display colouring show. While the billboards begin to light on with variety of colours, I still find colours from the nature to be amazing and charming. I have witnessed the sky changes from blue to yellow, then orange, then purple-orange and finally the show ended in darkness.
