Hoping for snow...

The view outside of my room during my stay in Shotley, Suffolk, England on Christmas Eve morning. I was peeking outside the window as early as 7.00 am to see if there was any snow, I've not seen snow falling off from the sky throughout my entire lifetime...lol. No white Christmas for me during my stay though, but it doesn't mean that it was any less amazing.

Until the next picture...

Adios, May God bless us all...

Travelling to the United Kingdom for Christmas...



Will be spending my first Christmas overseas after over a quarter century...and that will be the United Kingdom but what makes it beautiful will be able to spend quality time with my dearest friends in life, who had and still are showing me the true meaning of friends and nevers fails to inspire and encourage along my journey of life...My dearest friends, thank you for being my friends and I thank God everynight for people like you in my life...:)

Friends come and go in your life, some leaves you footprints and went on the other ways but some are never far away from your heart, always a special place in your heart and I am blessed with quite a few friends that always have a special place in my heart forever and always.

Maude, Lin and families, looking forward to see you next week for Christmas and New Year! :)

God bless us all.

Balloons with sunset as backdrop

A shot a three balloons with the sunset as the back drop while waiting for the 4th July Fireworks Display at Constituition Park, New Hampshire, US in 2007.

Everything that happened before and after the picture was taken is part of beautiful chapter in life.

Just as the balloons that rise up to the sky, the prayer of a humble person rises up to the heaven.

My visit Malaysia campaign

Dear friends from over all the world...

I want to take this opportunity to launch my very own campaign to invite my friends from all over to visit Malaysia, for many of you, its been about two years since I last saw you and still many of you I have not met...

I am delighted to inform you all that I am already expecting just a few numbers shorter than a dozen who will be coming to visit Malaysia on July/ August 2010 from the United States, and hopefully a few more will be joining from Britain...

Malaysia by far to many of you is very new and you have not probably even heard of, it is one of the jewel nation of Asia with a combination of variety Asian cultures from China to India, from Indonesia to the Middle East, Malaysia is a neigbour to Singapore on its south and Thailand on its north. The capital of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia a population of 27 Million people with a predominantly ethnic malay muslim majority (60%) and ethnic chinese (26%), ethnic indian (9%). Malaysia is a former British colonial territory which got its independence from Britain on 1957, as a former British colonial, English language is widely spoken and the western culture is blended nicely in this very asiatic setting as seen particularly in the architectural buildings in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Malacca which the latter two cities have recently listed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites.

The capital Kuala Lumpur's skyline is marked by its famous Petronas Twin Towers (Currently the second tallest building in the world after Taipei 101 in Taiwan and soon to be the third tallest building after the completion of another tower in Dubai, later this year). However, Petronas Twin Towers will remain as the tallest twin towers in the world for the time being.




Malaysia's currency is known as the Ringgit and its average value as per US Dollar is about 3.60 Ringgit. Therefore, it is often an economically holiday destination especially during the global economy slumps compared to European countries, including Australia and New Zealand. An average Malaysian meal only cost you anywhere from 2 US Dollars to 5 US Dollars while international class 4-star rating hotels for two inclusive of buffet style breakfast for two is about USD 70 to 100 per night. Therefore, consider Malaysia as your next family holiday destination by just saving USD 100 per month/ person for the next 14 months and you'll have a return flight ticket from Los Angeles and save another USD 50 per month/ person for the next 14 months , you'll earn yourself a COMPLETE relaxing and enjoyable 14 days of fun and rejuvenation in Malaysia.

While Kuala Lumpur has very much to offer, why not take a short two minutes advertisement break to see what other parts of Malaysia has to offer...


and the cultural, natural...part of Malaysia...
