LAST DAY OF YEAR 2006


Food haven, Kimberly Street of Penang, Malaysia

Rare tiny tortoise of Penang Hibiscus & Orchid Garden, Bukit Jambul

Charcoal Steamboat at Goh Huat Seng, Penang, Malaysia.

Ferringhi Garden, Penang, Malaysia. Definitely a place worth visiting

我们诚心的祝福中国四会的朋友一家庭有个顺利安康的新一年. 谢谢你们寄托给我们的礼物.

Overall, the year 2006 was a challenging year for Gary's Garden. Fortunately, we were able to face the challenges and all turn out fine. Well, life is like that, always full of challenges and we are unable to escape them, but need to face with guts and courages.

In addition, on a more relax note, we visited nice places like Melaka, Impiana Cherating and Penang. These places have their own uniqueness. Melaka is a historical city, Impiana Chearating is special with its beaches, shells, seafood etc, Penang is famous with its hawker food, Gurney Drive, Batu Ferringhi, Kimberly Street, Bukit Tambun seafood (at mainland of Penang) etc.

We post here with some photos taken during Penang trip. One of them is 'Steamboat' dinner at Goh Huat Seng and the other is Ferringhi Garden. We really enjoyed the cosy setting at Ferringhi Garden. It is a place worth visiting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, WHEREVER U ARE


Leaning Clock Tower, Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia





Just couldn't sleep well and decided to post my thought before it slips my mind. Just imagine if all of us are of the same 'faith', what will happen? Will the world be more peaceful and a better place to live at?

I don't think so. In fact, the world will be a dull place to stay, everyone of us will be celebrating the same festivals. Life will thus become more 'monotonous' than what we are having now. With different faiths, there are Christmas, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and so on and get more holidays, hehe.

So, why bother what faith a person belong to so long as he / she is no harm to you and me? We can still be friends / relatives even we are of different faiths. So, why wasting time fighting over religious issue? For now, let celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas to all, wherever you are.

Posted here are some photos of my recent trip to Penang and detour to Teluk Intan (formerly Teluk Anson during colonial days). One of them is photo of 'leaning clock tower of Teluk Intan. I was told this tower was built by a Chinese businessman in honour of his beloved wife.

THEY ARE SIMPLE, YET NICE


This is another showcase of SIMPLE, YET NICE. These tiny flowers are from a plant called '水梅' in Chinese where it is most suitable to create 'bonsai'. Our life can be simple or complex, it is up to you to choose. But sometime, it is not up to us to decide. You agree with Gary's Garden?

WILD ORCHID





Very rare chance for the wild orchid to bloom. This is the very first time since I bought it from an 'Orang Asli' (Aborigine in Malay) from a roadside between Gambang and Sri Jaya, Pahang. Even the wild has its unique beauty, I treasured it very much.

GARY'S GARDEN, A GARDEN FULL OF LIES?


Gary' Garden, a garden full of lies? Well, the whole truth is that, Gary's Garden is a garden full of 'life' not 'lies'. A person's perception on Gary's Garden may be influenced by the pictures that were posted in this blog. But those pictures are 'real'.

So, the lesson learned here is "comments / judgements on matters shouldn't be based on our perception, it should be based on facts" Posted by Picasa
