Fort Cornwallis - Penang
2007-11-10 03:47:00
Entrance to Fort CornwallisAccording to the leaflet about Fort Cornwallis, Francis Light erected a fort of nibong palms at the tip of the cape which called Fort Point and named it after the Governor General in Bengal- Charles Cornwallis soon after taking possession of the island Penang in 1786. Fort Cornwallis was the first military and administrative base of the East India Company and the garrison of Fort Cornwallis consisted of a handful of Europeans who resided within the fort, and Sepoys, who dwelt in attap huts next to the fort. This star shaped fort mounted with cannons along the perimeter and the most famous of these cannons is the Seri Rambai which still located at the northwest bastion of the fort. Today, relics such as chapel, store, cell rooms and the gunpowder magazine are still remaining in this fort. History galleries from the early 1700 and staff with colonial costume now is part of the attraction to visit this fort.Constructed in 1814 to store explosives. It was designe ...

Penang Hill
2007-11-04 20:02:00
My hubby and I went to Penang recently. Friends who are familiar with Penang took us to Penang Hill. The hill is known as Bukit Bendera in malay, which means Flag Hill. The hill is about 830 meters above sea level. There are two trams or cable trains in service to bring passengers up and down the hill. It costs RM 4 per adult for a two way trip. There are folks staying up the hill too. The first train service starts at 6.30am and the last trip is at 9.30pm. There are trains at half hour intervals.At mid way up, we need to switch tram. As the tram stopped for 15 minutes, we could take photos of the panoramic view of Penang island. Then suddenly, there was a troop of monkeys that came to greet us! Actually perhaps they were looking for food or something. Nevertheless, it is not allowed nor safe for visitors to feed these wild monkeys. I took some photos though.On top of the hill, there are tea kiosk, restaurants, souvenir stalls, beautiful gardens, and the old Bellevue hotel. The ...

Number Seven
2007-11-04 00:56:00
This is a tag meme from LordManilaStone. This is the first time I am participating in a tag meme. Hahaha...not sure if I have anything seven related or not.

My car license plate number starts with 7.3. Ok, since LordManilaStone adds up his page rank for his blogs, here are mine. ChatnChill 4 + LaughnRoll 3 = 7[Number related memes are so difficult.

Don't try this Diet at home
2007-10-30 09:49:00
"My doctor has advised me to give up those intimate little dinners for four, unless, of course, there are three other people eating with me."-Orson WellesDon't get desperate! Don't jump on the fad diet bandwagon. Man does not live by celery alone. Horror stories abound of fad dieters who have harmed their bodies, sadly some even lost their lives, by ignoring their need for a holistic approach to losing weight.When a little boy was asked what he would do when he got big like his daddy. He quickly replied, "Stop eating jelly doughnuts!" Common sense is just as important as carbohydrates. We don't have to give up reasonings just because we gave up chocolate fudge cake. We need caution. You've heard the saying, "Don't try this at home." It might just as well be said about diet. Perhaps the best place to start a sensible diet is at the doctor's office. Start with a professional opinion about weight loss, not the advice on page one of the so called weight loss magazines at the grocery ...

Touring the Cities of Brisbane and Gold Coast
2007-10-29 12:37:00
Well, after writing about England, I got into checking out some other places of interest. Let us now focus on a nearby country to Malaysia, namely Brisbane and the Gold Coast of Australia. Ah, to make sure that accommodations are taken care of, there is always the reliable guide online at Hotels in Brisbane. Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia and it is situated in the eastern part of Australia. It is also the capital and most populous of state of Queensland. The city got its name in honour of the British astronomer and administrator Thomas Brisbane, who was Governor of New South Wales from 1821 – 1825. In recent times, Brisbane has enjoyed being host to the 1982 Commonwealth Games, the 1988 World's Fair (Expo '88), and the 2001 Goodwill Games. A new airport and many new buildings were constructed in preparation for the fair. So never fear of any lack of Brisbane Accommodation.So let us get to the meaty stuff now. What are some interesting places to visit and activities ...
