Kuala Lumpur

Take time to enjoy some of the photos I've taken. Lack of narrative as these were taken many months back and it was a last minute trip. Enjoy these sights!

Petronas Twin Tower

At Merdeka Square

Tanjong Pagar

Along the fringes of Chinatown is Tanjong Pagar, with rows of pubs, bars and karaoke lounges in exquisitely conserved pre-World War II shophouses.

Check out these photos and enjoy the old atmosphere....

Miracle of LIFE

Found this little bird sitting in my flower pot and didn't want to move for days! Didn't know that it was actually laying eggs and I'm so fortunate to taken pictures of it everyday.

Multiplication of Loaves and Fish

Matthew Chapter 14

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

¹³When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. ¹⁴When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

¹⁵As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."

¹⁶Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

¹⁷"We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.

¹⁸"Bring them here to me," he said. ¹⁹And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. ²⁰They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. ²¹The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Western Wall or the Wailing Wall

The Western supporting wall of the Temple Mount which remained after it was destructed. It is a sacred spot and a center of mourning over the destruction of the Temple. It's also better known to be the "Wailing Wall".

Thaipusam

I wonder what happened to those years in my life! Can you believe that it's the first time I had an experience watching Thaipusam festival right in front of my eyes instead of over news, etc? Again, I didn't have my camera with me then but here is the link to show you what this great festivity is about. Click here to find out more!

From this day forth, I shall carry my camera with me wherever I go!

Victoria Street Whole Sale Market

I've never been to the Victoria Street Whole Sale Market in my entire life and after XX (can't disclose my age...) number of years living in Singapore, I finally visited the place. Since Chinese New Year is round the corner, thought it would be good to be a little bit more traditional and go to places where it's usually very busy when the festivity is round the corner. I didn't expect myself to visit the place, so I didn't bring my little camera with me....*sigh*....what a pity!

Anyway, I chance upon this nice red packet and it's cheap! A pack of "I-don't-know-how-many-are-there" is only one singapore dollar! Anyway, instead of using the normal red packets from banks, supermarkets, etc, I think it would be really fun to use these traditional looking ones.

And check this out, this coffee cup and saucer is really the traditional way of taking your coffee in the past. Of course, these are just replicas and the flower design is slightly different from the original ones. Oh boy, but how I wish I can brew the same type of coffee like the local coffee shops instead of using the normal 3-in-1 Nescafe coffee!

Holland Village

Holland Village? Are we in Holland? Well, no...this is Singapore's Holland Village where you can find a good mix of old and new, such as traditional coffee shops and a wet market amidst ritzy wine bars and fine dining restaurants. It's a popular venue for young Singaporeans as well as expatriates and it's often called Holland V. It's distinctive windmill was newly added (can't remember when) at the top of a building to create a "Holland flavor".

Apart from all the supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, you can find interesting craft stores, exotic furniture stores, art galleries and tons of magazines stands, where local and international publications can be found!

Here's the wet market on the left and on the right, a good range of old shophouses with spas, cafes, convenience store (7-Eleven), restaurants, bars, etc.

Singapore....COMING SOON

Ok...I'm on a "mission" to take some photos of where I come from, specially for someone from California. Stay tuned....right now, thinking of going Penang in December to savour all the good food there, so if the trip materialise, I will post in new stuff here!
