An inviting garden is so much more than mere foliage – sunlight, moonlight, birds on wings, bees and breeze….

What pomp and flourish on-stage, What sordidness back-stage;
The contrast etches on the mind, With a great force.

What pomp and flourish on-stage, What sordidness back-stage;
The contrast etches on the mind, With a great force.

The building that houses the Geographer Café dates back to Dutch colonial period. Its semi-circular windows, large columns and narrow corridors impart a distinct ambience.

Simple lines and ordinary colors depict the graceful gestures of the dancers.

A cloudy day in Malacca river’s shore, fishing boats are shore bound fearing a storm brewing.

A rainy scene of Melaka river, some of the splashes on the painting is raindrops, painting under open sky with nature light is one of Tham’s signature art approaches, a surprise drizzle caught artist by surprise, an welcome surprise. “Accident doesn’t create good art, but sometimes best art is created by accident.”

A unique scene in Melaka river, the houses along the river has no back lane, instead they have “back river” there is no road access to the backdoor of houses here, they can only access them by river, carriage boats is hired to deliver goods from backdoor.

A reformed scene of Melaka River, the shore line are now fixed with concrete walkways for pedestrian and house owners. Breathing new element to heritage buildings with convenient walkway.

Beautiful Fraser?s Hill

Feeds my imagination

Fires my creative urge

With its verdant fields

I always turn to them

for my inspiration.
