When a plastic bottle is far more valuable than a wedding ring

Date June 23, 2008

I had a lovely conversation with my beloved meimei at the beach. It’s been quite awhile since we went out for a chill together. It is always fun to talk about the old days and that’s what we did at the beach. The beach is still winding as ever but there are no waves […]

Narrowing the Malacca River

Date June 12, 2008

Lately the Chinatown of Malacca is facing flood threats even though it did not rain too heavily. Such things had never occured too often in the past before unless there are heavy downpours. Something must be terribly wrong with the river when it overflows way too easily even if there is a normal downpour. Finally […]

No Dragon Ladies here, just dragons.

Date June 3, 2008

To satisfy my blogger instinct, I went to the temple to snap some photos after my dinner. The lights are beautiful.

Yeap, I was drawn by the colourful lights. It looks better in real than in my camera.

Nope, nobody is going around the world in 80 days. When the current aviator technology, you can do it […]

Wesak Day procession

Date May 26, 2008

I know this is long overdue but it is always better late than never. Just make sure you don’t use this phrase on your boss. No one in their sane mind say it’s better late than never to their bosses. Otherwise you are going to be rewarded with a firing letter or you might catch […]

Some one drowned

Date March 31, 2008

 Updated:- apparently the body has yet to be found and you can read about the news report here.
While I was jogging, I saw a large crowd on the bridge that leads you to the Malacca Tesco. The people are looking at the river. As usual, being a human, I was also curious and wanted to […]

The other side of Malacca and their antique houses

Date February 19, 2008

Chinese New Year will never be complete without a visit to my late great grandmother’s pre-war house. It became the place where my relatives rendezvous every year.

These are my cousins. Yes, I feel so old already. The second oldest kid besides me in my maternal side would be my brother. Those who are my age […]

The destruction of Padang Pahlawan

Date February 16, 2008

I came across a short tv program that is specialized in complaints and grouses yesterday. It caught my attention because it was about an issue in my hometown. The people are complaining about the logic of building Dataran Pahlawan Mall on the historical Padang Pahlawan.
Now, any one who are historical conscious would know Padang Pahlawan […]

CNY TESCO

Date February 6, 2008

The road to TESCO is experiencing traffic jam at the moment. No thanks to the fact that Chinese New Year is just around the corner and every Chinese is trying to stock up their festive provision. It seems that last minute shopping always prevails for them. Well, whatever makes them happy. With the opening of […]

Finally, Malacca the historical city got its own legalized brothel

Date February 4, 2008

I didn’t know Malacca has a newly declared red light district. Horny men, don’t get too excited. This is the red light district in Malacca without the chicken. Yes, you heard me right. Red light district, without the brothels. This is not Geylang. Not Amsterdam. Not Patpong. But sometimes it might send the wrong messages […]

Dining in a taoist temple. Well, literally.

Date February 2, 2008

I am not sure if I blog about this before. My memory is getting shitty, I can’t even remember some of the stuffs I blog before and I end up writing about the same thing. Anyway, dining within the compound of a Taoist temple was quite an interesting experience. It might be common for us […]
