Christmas Celebration In Portuguese Settlement




This is another post with video clip that about Christmas celebration. The first and second video clips for previous posts were recorded in Perth, Australia. This video clip was taken in Portuguese Settlement.

Perhaps you think that Portuguese Settlement is in Portugal but actually it's not. For your information, Portuguese Settlement is in historical city of Malacca, Malaysia.

Portuguese Settlement formerly was a fishing village but has turned into a quite populated residential area. Most of the residents here are descendants of Portuguese. They celebrate Christmas every year by decorating their houses with beautiful light.

The Malacca State Tourism Authority promotes this settlement to be a tourist attraction. The Lisbon Hotel was built here recently to provide accommodation for tourists. There is a square here with pubs, restaurants and souvenir shops. There will be performance of Portugal folk dances during week end to entertain visitors from all over the world.

Sapporo Autumn Festival


Sapporo Autumn Festival

We dropped by Sapporo Autumn Festival venue during our September Hokkaido trip.

Odori Park

Sapporo Autumn Festival kicked off from 9th September and ended on 30th September at Odori Park.

Sapporo Autumn Festival

Odori Park is located in Sapporo city center. It's around 5 minutes walk from the hotel which we stayed in Sapporo.

Sapporo Autumn Festival

The food of this poster is Japanese wagyu beef. The wagyu beef is Hokkaido specialty and as renown as Kobe beef.

Wagyu Beef

This plate of sizzling wagyu beef was our first meal in Sapporo.

Scallop

We proceeded to barbecue seafood stall to buy big tasty scallops after enjoying wagyu beef, .

Oysters

Besides big scallops, we also swallowed a large delicious oyster each.

Dandan Noodles

After savoring oysters, scallops and wagyu beef, we tasted another bowl of Hokkaido dandan noodles.

Sapporo Autumn Festival

My wife was holding an orange. The orange was big but not juicy. Perhaps the peel of the orange was too thick.

Sapporo TV Tower

The Sapporo TV Tower is the magnificent landmark of Sapporo. We got up to the tower to view the beautiful night scene the night before we returned to Malacca.

Odori Park

Some Sapporo residents stopped and listened to Hokkaido New Party Daichi leaders giving speech at a corner of Odori Park.

Malacca Sentral Market


Sentral Market

Accompany my wife to Malacca Sentral Market to buy some foodstuffs once a month.

Sentral Bus Terminal

Malacca Sentral Market is located near Malacca Sentral Bus Terminal along AMJ.

Sentral Market

The Malacca Sentral Market building will be demolished due to its structural defects.

Sentral Market

The traders were forced to do business under the tent at the car park. The patrons were not only facing problem of parking their vehicles but also had to endure the heat of the hot sun.

Sentral Market

The Tun Fatimah Road temporary market has started operating since 1st of November. The vendors and customers now can enjoy the comfort of the new environment and no longer worry about rain or hot weather.

Sentral Market

The temporary market is cleaner and more spacious. However the parking area is not broad enough. Hopefully the state government will expropriate more land to extend the car park. Otherwise the car park will be packed like sardines during week ends and festive seasons.

When The Banana Is Ripe


Banana Plant

Since moved to Malacca, I plant some vegetable and fruit plants behind my house during leisure time.

Banana

A banana plant had borne a bunch of banana after growing for more than two years.

Banana

The cause of this outcome perhaps is due to not fertile of the soil at my house back yard.

Banana Plant

Life would be truly boring if you have nothing to do for years. That's why I plant vegetable and fruit trees after retirement.

Mini Vegetable Garden


Sweet Potato Plant

It's totally unexpected that I am venturing in agriculture after retired as an education professional.

Be a teacher for decades, my daily work was preparing teaching material and check out students' work.

Previously, I was busy with carrying out teaching and learning duty. Now, I am bustle dealing with growing vegetable. Daily life before and after retreating from workplace is truly different.

Life is short, so try to make it sweet and happy.

Where Are You From?


New Chitose Airport

We returned from Japan in early October. Our destination for this trip was Sapporo of Hokkaido.

Sapporo Autumn Festival

During our previous trip to Honshu, Kansai, nobody asked us where we came from. But the situation was totally different when we were in Sapporo.

Sapporo

Perhaps Sapporo residents are more friendly then those from Kansai region. When we answered that we are from Malaysia, their reactions were invariably weird.


May be the unusual respond of the Japanese is either because of 1MDB scandal or three uncivilized Malaysians had defecated in the shower of a homestay apartment in Osaka, Japan.

Malacca Nutp New Office



My wife and I went to Malacca Nutp Office during December 2016.

Although we had retired for years but we both are Nutp life member.

This selfie photo was taken at Nutp new office. The old office is at level three of a building in Melaka Raya.

The new office is at ground floor of a building in Durian Daun. Now, the Nutp members no need to climb up to third floor.

Whether you are already retired or still in service, you should be a member of Nutp in order to protect yourself.

Solidarity among teachers is a must to fight for the rights of teachers, respectively.

The Resurrection Of Mummy


Wonder Woman

I went to cinema with my wife last month.

At first we wanted to see "Wonder Woman" but the show time is 6 pm and no concession tickets for seniors.

Mummy

After discussing with my wife, we decided to see "Mummy" which Tom Cruise starred in.


We visited London in May. It's happened that London was one of the shooting locations of "Mummy".

When we were in the cinema enjoying the movie, it's just like visiting London again.

Hotmail Service Outage Resolved



I was redirected to an unknown website when I clicked on the Hotmail bookmark this morning.

My computer security system alerted me not to proceed because it’s risky to do so.

I did a Google search and knew that worldwide Hotmail users have the same problem. So I signed in from the Microsoft Outlook link.

Luckily I have installed an internet Security System. Otherwise my Hotmail account had been hacked.
