Hidden views


This view can only be seen from the access road to the equestrrian club. Would't have known this place if not for our interest to see some horses. Looks like down by the riverside is a nice place for a picnic though clean the water is not crystal clear.

Genting




Attended a workshop at Awana Genting 16-18th November 2011. Stayed here last a few years ago (10yrs?)when we were based in Alor Star. Went up to the top on the 17th evening and the place was busy with many visitors. The outdoor rides were closed because of the wet weather. Overall I thought the place have lost some lustre, though the attractions are still there.

Melaka revisited.





It's obvious they've done some good things in Melaka when it's hard to get room during weekends. Lots of tourists in the centre of town @Bandar Hilir. The riverside is one major improvement though in developed countries it's something that's taken for granted. What I like to see is the extension of the riverside promenade further upstream, much further. Some things have not been done right though; the monorail - technical problems; Pulau Melaka - still under construction (what's the attraction?); Melaka Raya - rows of shophouses and a run-down shopping mall that is not open for business! They are developing properties around Bandar Hilir but it's not done in a proper way, the architecture is just squarish. And too many cars...
