Me, My Camera & Malaysia filming at Muka Head

Off we go to Muka Head! L to R: Philip Teh, Michelle Chan, Andrew Boey (23 August 2012)


On 23 August 2012 I had the privilege of joining TV celebrity Andrew Boey in shooting Me, My Camera & Malaysia, an episode of the upcoming travel series Me and My Camera. I was pretty excited to be Andrew's guest for the episode. I met up with him at the headquarters of the Penang National Park and we headed off for Muka Head.

Me & My Camera is a travel series slated to be aired on TV in 2013. In this series, Andrew visits different destinations where he meets up with various guests and engage in photography activities. Among his crew members include his assistant Michelle and filming crew members Billy Jun, Philip Teh and Weng Hong.

The day had been rather wet, but by the time we arrived at the Penang National Park, the sun has come out. By the end of the day we were blessed with blue skies. But for now the sea was a calm sheet of silver.

Upon arrival at Monkey Beach, we discovered to our chagrin that the Muka Head Lighthouse closed at 3 o'clock. We would not be able to make it on time. Nonetheless we trekked up the hill path to the lighthouse. The climb was quite tough, particularly for the crew, as they had to carry the heavy camera gear.

It's an uphill climb to Muka Head, and we made it look easier than it actually was! (23 August 2012)


Unfortunately the caretaker was pretty adamant not to let us in. As a result, we were forced to shoot the lighthouse from the outside, and Andrew taught he how to shoot through the fence using a telephoto lens and a narrow depth of field. It's one of the instances when having a photography expert on hand comes in handy.

By the time we left the Muka Head Lighthouse, the sun was setting. We hurried down the hill so as not to get stuck in the jungle once darkness falls. The boat we hired was already waiting to pick us up when we arrived at Monkey Beach.

Darkness was creeping up on us when we got back to Teluk Bahang. We hurried back to George Town where I joined the crew for a dinner at Northam Beach Cafe.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public.

I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
