KLANG Part II: Connaught Bridge Power Station

Our next destination after the Kota Bridge is the Connaught Bridge Power Station. It is one of the seven thermal power stations in the country and the third largest thermal power plant in TNB Generation. The station maintains and operates one block combined cycle and four units of open cycle gas turbine capable of producing 835 MW. Basically, the pylons are the main attraction.

My ride... (Got scratched from front to the rear deliberately yesterday. No idea which bastard did it. I'll make sure your balls drop off..!)


Gigantic pylons make the trees look small...


The tower...




My 1st time standing under a pylon... I can feel the EMP..!!! Muahaha..!


The power plant...


The last pic before we end our Klang tour. Yay..! A God ray from heaven..!

KLANG Part I: The Kota Bridge

It's Thaipusam... We were not in Batu Caves, but in Klang. Wonderboy, Enigmaz & I were discussing why we never photoshoot in Klang... Of coz we feel that other place is always better than our own hometown, unless you leave your hometown for a period, then you'll appreciate it. I've never leave Klang for since I was born. I don't see much changes, except the residential areas are increasing and massive traffic jam is a trend. Seriously I'm here not to promote Klang as a city, but since it's a 1-day off, it's lazy to go somewhere far. So we just hid under the Kota Bridge...



Yeah, Klang boys with the 47-year old Klang bridge. This is the Kota Bridge, a double decker bridge which connects Pengkalan Batu and Jalan Pasar.


Currently the top deck is closed to traffic while the bottom deck is used as a pedestrian walkway.


It was built by the Dorman Long Engineering Ltd, the British firm that had built the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, in 1960.


The view of the Klang river and a underconstruction Putrajaya look-a-like mosque from Kota Bridge. Yeah..! The infamous polluted river in Malaysia... Don't blame Klang ppl for throwing rubbish into the river la... blame those who're staying at the river starting point ya... We're just victims! The contaminated water creates good reflection ya... Not bad... xD


Steel beams and rivets for 1/2km.


A regular user of the bridge...


The original Kota Bridge and the new concrete Kota Bridge which run parallel to each other.


Steel beam vs concrete...


Now the Kota Bridge declared structurally deficient. The initial rehabilitation of Kota Bridge would cost about RM160,000. Shall it be preserved..? or demolish it...?

Kuala Selangor, where my grandma lives...

Seems like we're going to Kuala Selangor again for a photoshooting organize by Enigmaz... probably after Chinese New Year... yet to be confirmed. However, I'm going there to collect angpow from grandma during this coming CNY. I used to hate Kuala Selangor because there's nothing special... no entertaiment... just a country lifestyle. Not after I got a camera. I've noticed there're alot of nice scenaries. Hope it's not too late for me to realise and appreciate it. Guess what... You can find a combination of fishery and paddy field in Kuala Selangor. Not easy to find a place which has both features. Isn't it great? So I dig old photos again... Some pics taken on last year during the month of June...



with enigmaz & wonderboy...










In Klang, you'll find rubbish in the drain... In Kuala Selangor, you'll find this...
