Happy Auspicious Horse Year


Pineapple Lanterns

Recently the price of various stuffs increase tremendously.

Malaysians are sick of the crucial price hike problem. Luckily we have a Kangkung Prime Minister Najib who works so hard to deliver Kangkung Entertainment to us.

Hopefully Kangkung Prime Minister Najib sorts out the price soaring issue in the coming Auspicious Horse Year. So that Malaysians no need to eat kangkung every day.

Macau Ruins Of St Paul's


Ruins of St Paul's

The Ruins of St Paul's was the first location we visited during our Macau trip in September last year.

Rua Do Tarrafeiro

We walked along the narrow Rua Do Tarrafeiro from Macau Sofitel Hotel Ponte 16 to Ruins of St Paul's.

Ruins of St Paul's

Strolling as well taking photo on the way to Ruins of St Paul's, we reached Ruins of St Paul's in around 20 minutes.


It was raining drizzly in the early morning on that day. Fortunately the rain stopped when we arrive at Ruins of St Paul's.

Ruins of St Paul's

Remember to get up early to avoid congestion at tourist attraction while traveling. You will face crowded problem if you are late.

Ruins of St Paul's

This ruin arch was the front entrance of St Paul Church. The church was razed to ground in 1853 except the front part and the stone steps in front of the building.

Ruins of St Paul's

The front and back of the ruin arch are totally different. The unique sculpture of the front part is truly amazing but the rear part is just same as normal wall of a building.

Ruins of St Paul's

Photos of the change of St Paul Church are displayed at the site of Ruins of St Paul's. Visitors like to pose in front of the photos. They didn't expect they had become the model for public.

Ruins of St Paul's

Two bronze statues which symbolize the friendship between China and Portugal are built at St Paul Square.

One of the bronze statue is a man and the other is a lady. The man bronze statue represents Portugal and the lady bronze statue represents China.


Macau Trishaw

A few trishaws are provided by Macau Government Tourist Office for tourists to take photo.

You can take as many photos as you want without any charges. If in Malaysia, you need to pay before taking photo. Time for taking photo with the trishaws is seven days a week from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.


Ruins of St Paul's

There is a row of grave on the right side behind the ruin arch. According to Macau government archaeological research, those are the graves of the missionaries.

Macau government had done its bid to restore Ruins of St Paul's and open for public to visit. This move not only offers employment opportunities for Macau residents but it also boosts the economy of Macau.

This row of old building is located along Jalan Kesang in Jasin Town. The building was built in 1927. That's almost hundred years ago.

Strolling under the yellow light, the night weather of Fraser Hill was not as cold as spreading by hearsay.

Fraser Hill

This mini clock tower is the unique landmark of Fraser Hill. Tourists like to take photo around the mini clock tower during the day. As you can see from the photo, the mini clock tower is truly lonely at night.

Amsterdam Nam Kee Restaurant


Restaurant Nam Kee

Departing from Simonehoeve Cheese and Clogs Farm, we moved to Amsterdam Nam Kee Restaurant for dinner.

Amsterdam

Our dinner time in Amsterdam is at 5 pm. The time in Malaysia is at 12 midnight. After savoring delicious food, we had a walk and captured some photos outside the restaurant.

Amsterdam

The area was safe, quiet and clean. We felt cozy of strolling around the square. Amsterdam residents were relaxing outside the food and beverage outlets. They prefer to be outside the building during summer.

Heineken Gallery

While waiting for the coach, I took a few shot of Heineken Gallery. This gallery originally was a brewery.

As the brewery spreading smell, it stopped operating and turned into a gallery. At first the gallery charged a small admission fee. The price of the fee increased due to the good respond of Heineken fans.


Amsterdam

Suddenly a group of biker appeared on the other side of the road. As you can see from the photo, a lady was crossing the road in a hurry.

The cyclist won't give way to pedestrian in Amsterdam. That's why you have to be aware while walking in Amsterdam. You shouldn't step into the bicycle track if not you may be hit and get hurt.

2014 Price Soaring Year


Barisan Nasional

2014 will be a miserable year for Malaysians because of the terrible price hike after 505 13th Malaysia General Election.

New taxes, subsidy cuts, highway toll increase, electricity price hike and prices for essentials rise in 2014 will cause Malaysians crazy.

Is this the objective of BN Transformation Program?

If this is the case, BN has to face the risk of downfall in the next Malaysia General Election.
