Sunset over the New Klang City Flyover

Now that the new flyover project has been completed and opened, the notorious traffic jams in Klang has reduced significantly. It is quite a breeze whizzing by. This flyover is built over the congested roundabout in the heart of Klang city. Seeing sunsets on the way home is something I get to enjoy. The tall buildings in front are the Bank of China and Wisma Lay Hong followed by the Klang Branch of the Inland Revenue Building, a reminder to file our individual taxes by April 30th.

Wishing you Happy Earth Day and may you have a blessed Good Friday!

Penang Town Hall - A Penang World Heritage Site

This is a continuation of my walk down the Esplanade area in Penang. This colonial building is the Penang Town Hall. I am very thankful that this historical heritage site is still well preserved. There is a beautiful open field, Padang Kota Lama in front of this majestic building.

A Walk Along Penang Esplanade

Fort Cornwallis is named after the 18th century Governor-General of Bengal, India, Charles Cornwallis. It's origin dates back to 1810. It is the largest standing fort in Malaysia. In its entire history, this fort had never engaged in any battle.

City Daily Photo Theme Day for April 2011 - Edge

A person can grow only as much as his horizon allows.

..... John Powell

Today is City Daily Photo Theme Day for April 2011 and the theme is 'Edge'.

The above is a view of the vast horizon a short distance away from Swettenham Pier. A long long time ago, the horizon used to be regarded as the edge of the world. During the pre-war days, single people liked to visit the promenade here during Chap Goh Meh (Chinese Valentine's Day) to throw mandarin oranges into the sea in the hope of meeting that special someone in their lives.
