Photo 10 - Taiping Lake Garden

I visit the Taiping Lake Garden at least once a year. Every time I am in Taiping, there has always been an urge to visit the lake garden. Probably the lake garden has become an integral part of my soul, and foods of contentment for my spiritual well being.

Photo 09 - Chinese New Year's moods

I went to Subang Parade on Sunday afternoon. Have a late lunch at Esquire kitchen, and it costs me RM 86 ! A bit pricey considering the fact that the foods are not really that good. After lunch, I went around the shopping complex to do some last minute CNY shopping. To my surprise, CNY is only four days away, but the shopping complex is unusually lacked the normal festive shopping crowds. Times are bad ?

Photo 08 - Malaysian roads

Malaysians can be friendliest people on earth, but when they are behind the wheels, they can be the worst lunatics on earth. This picture was taken on friday evening on the main road fronting the Proton factory. Every evening I had to used this road to travel home from office. Imagine the many motorcycle zig-zagging from both sides trying to demonstrate their reckless riding skills, and all sorts of vehicles cutting in and out dangerously to test your patient and civility. Here I am talking about those caring Malaysians turning into reckless beasts as they go about with their selfish maneuverings on the congested roads. Driving on the Malaysian roads can sometimes be a very stressful and unavoidable daily experience.

Photo 07 - Honda Super Cub

She is a four-stroke model manufactured in 1958. Already 50 years old, but she is still road worthy and sexily shinny. She is the Honda Super Cub C50. Going back in History, Honda owed their present day success to this humble model. More than 50 millions C50 had been sold worldwide ! She triggered Honda's domination of the world motorcycle market and contribute to the rise of Japanese auto industry.

Is ther a lesson to be learned from history ?

Picture 06 : SZZzzzzzzzzzz.... Sleeping

If only we know how to sleep like a dog, the world would move in a much simpler pace, less stressful, and more peaceful.

Photo #05 : Semi precious stones tree

I bought this semi precious stones tree from a gift shop in Cape Town, South Africa in 1994. It has been sitting in my display shelf since then. Time flies, 14 years had gone by.......

Photo #04 : The Chinese tea set

My favorite tea set, simple and plain in design, but it is also an illustration of beauty and artistry of Chinese culture in motion. It has served me well, I hope it will continue to serve my children many years down the road. With my favorite graded Chinese tea leaves and a pot of boiling water, it has never failed to refresh my body, mind, and spirit. provide.

Life is simple, keep it simple !
