I was on a flight back to Singapore from Penang early this month. I deliberately chose a window seat, hoping to enjoy the 1.5-hour flight. It has been always a hobby of mine to identify landmarks, towns and structures from 22,000 ft.
The plan flew southwards above the west coast of the peninsular, and made a sharp left turn when approaching the straits of Johor (between Singapore), flew above my home town of Skudai towards the east to the South China Sea, before making a U-turn into Changi Airport.
It was a wonderful flight, and for once, I didn't sleep during a flight.

The jetty and coal unloading system |

Downtown Melaka |

An unidentifiable power station - It isn't Kapar nor Tuanku Jaafar. Anyone has the answer? |

Iskandar Putri, or formerly known as Gelang Patah - Tun Aminah will be on the bottom left corner |

Alas, the busiest international border in the world - The Causeway, where some 200,000 people cross everyday |
