No Parking!!!

On Chap Goh Meh this year, I saw this sign hanging on the gate of one of the houses along the road heading to Ma Zhu Miao. The owner must have been so infuriated by the inconsiderate worshippers of the temple who park in front of his gate that he took things one step further by coming up with such an amusing sign.

I admire his effort for this, but, I wonder if it serve it's purpose since I doubt anyone will believe it. 
Anyway, it still gave me a good laugh. Hope it does for my readers too.
I wonder if it'll be there the next time I visit the temple...

Cycling: Pantai Irama

I took this photo of my bike after cycling to Pantai Irama on a sunny day.
I have always like the beach as it's always breezy with the tranquil sound of waves, it's a refreshing and soothing to someone that is so used to the bustle of the city.
The sand was too soft and fine to ride on, giving way to deep depressions if I try to cycle on it--the curse of racing bicycle's fine wheels. But, I manage to ride my bike on the firm sand near to the coastline which unfortunately got me wet as the waves caught me in their surge.
My bike being washed by waves.
Finally, a photo of my bike's and my shadow.
