Its 2007...and i thought i would begin my first post of the year with something positive. I would like to promote about the land i call home, where people of diverse colors, religions, cultures and ethnicity live and mingle, which as a result of this wonderful concoction produces one of the worlds best culinary delights, plus an easy care free life that balances the determination to ensure the land continues it progressive growth...thats Malaysia.
2007 is officially VISIT MALAYSIA YEAR (VMY). Not only that, 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of Malaysia as well. The golden jubilee marks a significant milestone in the history of our nation...and the country wants to celebrate by welcoming the world to our backyard!
Not to mention, here is one of several news worthy item (one which actually do get posted on prominent global news sites) that certainly makes us proud to be Malaysians. Our very own aviation tycoon, Tony Fernandes of Air Asia (low cost and no frills airlines, the biggest in Asia) fame, has unveiled plans to a new no frills, long haul airline called Air Asia X (sounds a little "porn-ish" though). This guy has done it again...we re talking bout opportunities to travel from Europe or America to KL without burning our wallets, what more with sky rising oil barrel per day prices! It ll be a reality some day soon...everyone can really fly! Without a doubt one of my idols of the business world!
The ladies of Air Asia...in their red, hot, chilli attire! They definitely make the "short" haul become a"long" haul!
Next up...first you have the London Eye.
Then theres one in Champs Elyssee in Paris that came out apparently out of nowhere.
The posh ferris wheel fever is catching up now in good ol KL! Built (apparently also out of nowhere) as an attraction for Visit Malaysia Year 2007...this 60m high circular giant will provide a breath taking view of KL's skyline be it day or night! But i just dont fathom the misleading name though...its called "The Eye on Malaysia"; firstly whats with copying the "Eye" name, plus its a birdseye view of Kuala Lumpur...not Malaysia.
The Ferris wheels of (from l-r); Paris, London, KL and one of the gondolas.
I guess i ll save another entry just on our food alone! But till then, for those interested...i strongly recommend to put into your travel plans a visit to Malaysia...better so during August as its the birthday month of the country. Its gonna be a colourful period...a festivities filled year which the country is hosting, and YOU ARE ALL INVITED!!!
