Quote of the day : You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. - C. S. Lewi
Found out that I have never share this picture before. My first portrait shooting session with my school club, the one pictures that come out best (well, would be one of the best if the background does not have so many extra things LOL) during that session. Wished that I have a better lens to isolate the background and the subject. Oh well...

Japan Day 4 Part 2, Kyoto
Aha, and so I am back writing about my Japan trip. As a recap, continue from here.
Took bus after visiting the Imperial Palace to Kinkaku-Ji, Temple of the Golden Pavilion.
Met with a bunch of cute secondary school boys in the bus.
They stopped at where we are, so we asked for a group photo =D Ended up they went to the same place we are going, visiting Kinkaku-Ji. Looks like a class field trip for them, perhaps.

Flowers of Japan
Quote of the day : I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. — Marilyn Monroe
Woke up in the morning having a thing for flowers =.= So i guess it is all about flowers today =D

Statue of St. Francis Xavier
Quote of the day : Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's an experience.
The only European left standing on St Paul's Hill today is a Basque Spaniard and a 1529 Masters degree graduate from the renowned University of Paris. He could have lived it up, his was a family of noblemen and estate holders, but he chose priesthood and spent his adult life converting and trying to convert people of Tamil, Malay and Japanese tongues to Roman Catholicism. His missionary tenure in Malacca was fleeting, just three years from, but then his life was short. St. Francis passed away in 1552 in Sancian, a desolate island off the shores of China, while awaiting a boat to go to the mainland to preach.
The Statue of St Francis Xavier stands in front of the ruins of St. Paul's Church, completed only in 1952 marking the 400th anniversary of St Francis Xavier's visit to Malacca while on his way to the Far East. When he died in China a year later and his body was sent back to Malacca, where it was interred here for nine months. When a decision was made to transfer it to Goa, the exhumers were astounded to learn that his body showed little sign of decay, even though it had been buried for nine months. This led to request for the missionary to be made a saint. So in order to be canonized, the Catholic church needed a relic and thats when the arm of Francis Xavier was severed, after nine month without life, it still dripped blood. So if you take a look at Francis Xavier's statue, you will see that his right arm is also missing. That is not the initial design of the statue. A day after the statue was consecrated, a large tree fell on it, breaking off its right arm. With that, it stands today without its right arm.

Pulau Kerachut #3
Quote of the day : When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. - Alexander Graham Bell
This is the view before the trail to Pulau Kerachut. Nice and serene.

Umeda Sky Building
Quote of the day : There is only one success - to spend your life in your own way. - Christopher Morley
The Umeda Sky Building (梅田スカイビル) is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan, and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. It consists of two 40-story towers with the height of 173 m (568 ft) that connect at their two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center. Located in the Umeda district of Kita-ku, this building features a rooftop observatory, The Floating Garden Observatory, as well as an underground market that attempts to recreate the atmosphere of Osaka in the early 20th century. At the base of the towers is an urban garden with walking trails and water features.
A little bit like some kind of scene in your game huh?

Daimaru Peacock Supermarket
Guys, this is a link where you can help out Japan. Help spread the word, hopefully this will make a difference. =)
Here is somehow an unique architecture I saw at Shinsaibashi. Not really a classy branded shop, but guess what, this is a department store a.k.a. supermarket! There are a number of Daimaru store across Japan, and this one located at Shinsaibashi is one classy store with the interior of the store is exquisitely decorated.
